Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
VALUE of the Ady pumping system at the
straits between Lower Klamath and Klam
u nw under construction, is dramatical-
ly demonstrated in tins spung s
excess water situation which
today necessitated giving up
3400 acres of good farm land
from this year's production.
Unfortunate factor is that
the Ady pumps are not yet n
operation, so that they could
be used in relieving the ex
cess water in the Lpwcr Klam
ath and Tule basins, by pump
age of this excess water into
What has happened shows fcPl-ET
that this latest construction project is a part
of the logical development of the Klamath
reclamation system, just as was the tunnel and
pumping system between Tule and Lower
Klamath lakes. .,,..
For the information of our readers, this in
teresting situation is illustrated in imsp which
we are using on page one of today's paper.
Handling The Water
BRIEFLY, the verbal picture Ii this. Water
from the irrigated areas of the Klamath
basin gathers in the Tule lake basin, which has
no natural outlet. In wet years, this water
spreads over a large area of otherwise excellent
farm land. To remove the excess water from
the Tule basin, the tunnel was driven through
the mountain separating that basin from Lower
Klamath.
Excess water also can be a detriment in the
Lower Klamath basin. The next logical de
velopment therefore is removal of that water
from Lower Klamath into Klamath river, the
only natural drainage outlet for this entire
area. That is the job of the Ady pumping
system.
Incidentally, there has been some delay In
obtaining materials for the construction of this
project. . A higher priority is needed, and it
should be forthcoming in view of the important
function of : the Ady pumps, in-benefiting both
agriculture .and the fish and wildlife survey
operations in the Klamath, Tule and Lower
Klamath areas. .. .. - ' -
We Hove Dry Years, Too "
THIS year's excess water shows the need for
rapid development of "a ' complete system
for handling the basin's water resources, in
cluding land development that will make full
use of the water on a wider basis than at
present.. The whole story has been repeatedly
told in connection with the so-called Central
Valleys diversion scheme which we hope will
soon be formally scotched by army engineers.
The uninformed, viewing the excess water
problem in the basin this season, may regard
it as an argument for the diversion scheme.
But precipitation in this area fluctuates sharply
from season to season, and there have been,
and may well be again, protracted dry spells
of many seasons. If the Klamath basin area is
fully developed for maximum use of its land
and water resources,- there will be none to
spare, and it is to protect our basin against
years of minimum water supply that we have
opposed diversion.
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
(Editor's Note: This column was written in
advance for the paper, and the news of the
cabinet shake-up had not been announced at
the time of the writing.)-
WASHINGTON, May 24 A complete cabi
net shake-down is coming. State and
treasury in addition to justice and labor will
surely be involved.
For the present, the 23-man cabinet mush
room, which Mr. Truman inherited from Mr.
Roosevelt, is being slowly trimmed to a wieldy
10. Heads of various independent war and
administrative agencies had been invited to
cabinet discussions by the late president, and
as a result the meetings lately have resembled
a mob of stockholders rather than decorous
assembly of a board of directors.
In this 23-man cabinet, . furthermore, Mr.
Roosevelt had a coterie of ear-whisperers
or they had him. After each session, those who
fancied themselves as favorites would come up
and whisper in his ear the real business of their
departments. He actually had a receiving line
of ear-whisperers after each cabinet session,
each waiting his turn for the ear.
This evidence of mutual distrust in the cabi
net had reached such proportions near the end
that Mr. Roosevelt, on one occasion, informed
an official:
"I cannot take your subject up at a cabinet
meeting because 1 know at least two would
tell a newspaperman and I cannot afford to
have it leak."
Favors Table-Talk
MR. TRUMAN favors table-talking over car
whispering, and is picking men not only
that he can trust but who may trust each
other.
But this is not th biggest change being
worked up inside. A personal dynasty has been
built up within the government. It was headed
by Mr. Roosevelt's administrative assistant, Wil
liam H. McReynolds. Ha chose the heads of
all the important bureaus, and tha bureau
chiefs whom he selected, in turn, carried out
his will in selecting their subordinates.
These were not political appointees (demo
cratic party) as much as personal choices of
various people around Mr. Roosevelt. He him
self did not have much time for the matter,
and left everything to McReynolds, who allowed
himself full leeway in setting up a super
regime reaching into every government bureau.
Mr. McReynolds was dropped by Mr. Truman
soon after taking office. He may have ponder
ed a while about leaving, but then departed
silently. His departure signified the end of
this method of choice for promotion and pay
in government service.
Bureau heads hereafter will be chosen by
Mr. Truman himself and they in turn will be
allowed to choose men with whom they can
work. I suspect the new Postmaster General
Bob Hannegan will keep an eye on this matter
for the democratic party.
There was another clique which had long
tenure and amazing growth under Mr. Roose
veltthe Frankfurter machine. Each govern
ment bureau, no matter how small or simple,
'generally has legal counsel or staff, and
Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter was in
strumental -in choosing the key men for nearly
all of these. In his time at Harvard law school
he had. amassed personal connections with an
army .of young lawyers of his school of legal
thought
Contrary to general public suspicion, I do not
believe- Mr. Frankfurter was the mentor of
the late president in the sense that he sat over
hia shoulder for this and other purposes. He
seldom came to the White House.
Note Policy
I THINK most of his appointments were the
results of notes he was accustomed to send
- to Mr. Roosevelt, notes not confined to recom
mending his "fine young men" for the guiding
and directing legal staffs of all the government,
departments, but sometimes on matters of
policy also.
At any rate, during the Roosevelt years, the
White Housa accumulated a mass of notes from
Frankfurter and Frankfurter accumulated con
trol of legal interpretation within the govern
ment in behalf of his opinions on practically
all subjects, for his young men generally wor
shipped or at least granted superior respect to
his viewpoint.
The Frankfurter dynasty also broke' like a
plate which falls to the floor. When Mr. Tru
man came in, he simply pushed, it off the
table. - A different result could hardly have
boon expected.
When one opinion on law and policy prevails
throughout government no matter how good or
bad that opinion is the scales of justice have
been permanently tipped to one side, and one
side only. It is therefore no longer justice. Jt
does not weigh rightness and wrongnees. It
orders what has already been decided. It is
autocratic and Hitleresque.
A long time may be required before tha full
effect of the new change in legal appointments
may be apparent, but, it is already beginning
to be evident within various bureau legal
divisions.

PORTLAND, May 24 VP)
Oregon is one of the only five
states still able to ration more
than a single bottle of whiskey
monthly, Liquor Administrator
Rsy Conway has disclosed.
He said that because of stocks
gained through the Waterfill
and Frazier distillery purchase
no ration change is contemplated
in the near future.
Conway said Oregon is the
highest state in stocks of straight
whiskey. At present sales are
60 per cent blend and 40 per
cent straight whiskey.

Little Increase In

SPOKANE, Msy 24 W)
United Air Lines President W.'
A. Patterson, here on a tour of
company operations, sees little
reason to expect a great increase
m private flying after the war.
. Yesterday he predicted:
After the war there will be no
more private airplanes than
there were yachts before the
war. The cost of operation is too
Gliders never will be used
commercially.
Jet propulsion won't be uied
commercially for 10 years.
Airlines can not expect an
early development of heavy
freight hauling. Experiments In
dicate freight shipments for
6ome time to come will be limit,
cd to perishables and high value
articles.
Patterson did foresee a vast
increase in airlines travel after
the war.
