Aaaoelated Prae Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY COVERING city council meetings usually rate as an unwelcome evening chore on the newi stalf of this paper, and it has been a bit surprising that reporters who have been going to these meetings recently have com plained that they are too short. We happened to do the Job personally last night and we believe we know what our folks have been talking about. There is In evidence a ten dency to rush through matters of city business and to avoid time-consuming deliberation, in reront weeks there has been frequent reference of mat- EPLEY ters that require full council discussion and settlement, even at the cost of an extra hour or two of the council's time. Now we have always been, strongly In favor of prompt and orderly consideration of busi ness at public and semi-public meetings, and we have seen many of them uselessly and Uresomely extended by wandering, repetitious and unnecessary discussion. But we have also seen mistakes made when we and others par ticipating get into too much of a hurry. Careful deliberation is frequently essential to sound conduct of the public business. The council's manifold duties, and the numerous matters de serving its consideration, would seem to require ordinarily from two to three iours or longer at the weekly meetings. Too many rush ses sions hint of a lack, of interest. But in fairness to the council, we should add that the lack of interest extends beyond the council, and to the general public. People are not paying much attention to local public business, and this unconcern may be reflected in a tendency of the council to underestimate the importance of its work. Public spectators at council meetings are a rarity. Few people demonstrate any interest in the city's business, unless it affects them directly and personally. We have heard city official comment that the council can pass on a budget involving hundreds of thous ands of dollars, before an empty spectators' section, but that people will jam said section to hear a discussion of a dog tie-up period. We need to demonstrate to our city officials that we are giving attention to local affairs, and-that we consider their actions of utmost importance to the .local welfare, as they' are Klamath Falls is a $10,000,000 municipal cor poration. Conduct of its business is not a mat ter to be regarded lightly, either by the general public or those charged with the responsibilities of municipal office. The councilmen, with business and personal matters of their own to look after, need a showing of public interest that in turn will inspire them to greater interest in the city business they handle. So what we have said here is not so much a criticism of the council as of all of us, who are citizens of Klamath Falls and should give local public business a bigger share of our thoughts. These are times of great, world shaking events, and we are tempted to let ourselves be pre-occupied with them at the expense of important matters near to us. .... Balloon Warning A WEEK or so ago we carried here a warn ing to our readers, who go into the open country, to avoid picking up or tinkering with . any strange objects they may find there. We were not permitted, at the time, to . mention the fact that the Japanese were at tempting to send balloons, with explosives, across the western coast of the U. S. Today, the army and navy made a precautionary state ment about balloons which makes it possible for us to add that it was Jap balloons, in particular, against which we were warning in our previous piece. To prevent the Japs from getting any value out of reports, it is inadvisable to tell where or when balloons may be found or seen, if any. But since the Japs undertook to send them over this country, we have felt that the public should be generally warned of that ' ) effort and against the hazards which might be created if any were to land.

He has not proved that yet, and until he does, he will not have proved this cause for a wage increase. .... Familiar Battle SO the inner battle waxes along familiar lines with Mr. Truman in the center. The re conversion program of his top Coordinator Vinson is not popular either in congress or in business quarters, where no one I have yet encountered believes it can do the job. How much good the wage increases will ac complish also is subject to objective questioning. The basic economic idea behind the proposal is that the pouring out of more money to those who are at , work will take up the slack of national income developing from loss of jobs. As a generalization, it sounds equitable, but will it work specifically? Such tremendous unearned wage Increases of 20 to 40 per cent of a special type of worker, .to . the exclusion of others, must necessitate great price increases which those who have received no such increases can hardly pay. It is therefore an unequal solution. Furthermore, it sponsors further inflation and decline in the value of the dollar. Yet to let the condition run may help to solve this primary feature of the problem: . Millions of war workers are inefficient, un skilled labor, which received far more pay than their services were worth, but which is now determined to keep those overpaid jobs in preference to returning to their former lower paid work. The want-ad section of every newspaper Is begging for workers. A considerable portion of the unemployed must eventually take these lower paid jobs, but there is no rush to take them among the affluent ex-war workers. The only thing I can see for sure is Mr. Truman is facing his first acid test.. me same con warned that the bombs are dan gerous and should not be touched by anyone who is not familiar with them. So far, there have been no reports that incendiary bombs started any forest fires but the army and navy emphasized that a careful watch must be kept. Hold Information, Urging editors and broadcast ers to continue their coopera tion with the censorship office on the balloon operations, the two services said that news paper readers and radio listen ers should also understand that details of the balloons are be ing omitted from news reports to keep the enemy from obtain ing further information on the attacks. - In case the balloons cause a RADIO REPAIR By Expert Technicians GOOD STOCK OF AVAILABLE TUBES-PARTS-AERIALS For All Makes of Radios ZEMAN'S Quick, Guaranteed Service 11 H. 9th "hone 7522 Across from Montgomery Ward oa North 9th Tuesday. Mar 32. 1945 clusion, and today the proper warning Is broad cast. Great numbers of our people go Into the open country far both work and recreation at this time of year. The bare possibility that the Japs might succeed in landing some of their dangerous machines in the western area calls for knowledge of the hazard and the greatest caution on the part of our people. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 22 Unemployment Is developing in Detroit and Chicago, al though not much is being said about It. Some also is apparent In Cleveland. I have heard the figure of 3,000,000 mentioned, but I think it is far too high. This marks the shrinking demand for the heavier war goods tanks, armored cars, trucks. When shrinkage extends to munitions and shells sometime soon, the problem will be come national. While Mr. Truman has succeeded unbeliev ably well in handling the Initial problems thrust upon him, he is heading for trouble on this one. To meet the gradually opening new condition, his associates are preparing to grant wage increases. The new economic equivocator, William H. Davis, was not clear in his talks with interested congressional committees last week, but he seemed to advocate 48 hours' pay for 40 hours work, which is Just what the CIO auto workers have been demanding (with trimmings.) This would be a flat 20 per cent wage-hike, but there has been talk of a 30 to 40 per cent ' elevation, and some of the unions' additional demands could work the rate up to that in credible figure (incredible In view of recently stable price trends and the promise of lower cost autos for the public). .... Unions Heckle Truman THE unions have begun to needle Mr. Truman in the same way they pushed Mr. Roosevelt painfully about. A west coast radio station has reported AFL's boss there, Dave Beck, has begun to talk of the Republican Stassen for the 1948, and has mentioned the Republican Saltonstall as a good president on this far-away ticket was unquestionably prepared for White House perusal. The sharpest and mostest needles are, how' ever,, being wielded by the AFL economist, and CIO spokesman on OPA Both are aiming particularly at OPA Administrator Chester Bowles and the Shushkin, who incidentally is a wee bit pinker than the average color inside AFL, and, therefore, more in line with the CIO front, has the war agencies for under estimating employment, allowing cutbacks of has centered upon Mr. Bowles' prices could be increased in post the higher cost of raw materials. ' Montgomery figured out a new factor-answer to that one, raising a point of the increased pro ductivity of labor, its ability to turn out more per man due to war-developed efficiencies. In deed, I have heard on good authority that in creased productivity of men has run 100 per cent higher than three years ago in some cases. - But where Montgomery is off line is in his conclusion that this same improved efficiency can be carried on into peace casualty, the statement said it vill serve the national interest if the press and radio and all civilians refrain "from connect ing such casualty with enemy action." The services also asked civil ians to follow the example of the newspapers and radio and refrain from spreading news of any specific balloon incident. Police Investigate Theft Of Beer State police are investigating the burglary of the Algoma store which occurred some time Sun day when prowlers made off with four cases of beer. The store is operated by S. H. Kettenberg. No arrests had been made Tuesday. SIDE GLANCES COWL tT MIA Mltwcr.MC. T.mittfty- "Even with the manpower shortage.

The British labor party adopts a 12-point "program (piaiiorm would be our word for it) aimed at establishment of a "socialist commonwealth of Great Brit ain." The "program" bluntly terms the labor party a SOCIAL IST party and calls for sweeping nationalization of industry, spe cifically naming coal mines, rail roads and all other public forms of transportation and iron ana steel plants as the first to be taken over by the government. It advocates public ownership of the Bank of England. At the same time, the labor party decides to WITHDRAW from the coalition government which is expected to mean that Churchill, as prime minis ter, will ask the king to DIS SOLVE PARLIAMENT and thus bring on a general election, Brit ain's first in TEN years. At the general election thus called (IF called) the momentous question as to' whether Britain is to become a SOCIALIST .COM MONWEALTH will be decided. The election, if called, will probably be held IN JULY. . . ... GREAT events, OTHER THAN WAR, are beginning to cast their shadows before them.
