Published every afternoon .xc.pt Sunday Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY MATCHING Klamath" protest against the CAB examiner's recent airline recom mendations are the complaints we've noticed emanating from Eureka and IWw7p uoot ooy. Those coast cities are on a proposed United Airlines main route similar to that which UAL and Western Airlines want to put into Klamath Falls. They were both re jected In the examiner's recom mendations, as was Klamath. Coos Bay and Eureka are marshalling their strength for a hsttlp before CAB fori through service. Their news- EPLEV paper and chamber of commerce comments sound much like those you have been hearing around here. For Instance this from the Coos Bay Times: "We know our area's needs. They are for a thorough, modern, fast air service. The pro posals of Southwest Airways (the feeder line which has also recommended for Klamath Falls) will not provide it. Facing with optimism, after the United application, a postwar period when Coos Bay would come into its transpor tation own by air service, we repeat that the blow is too much to take to have one man in a government say nay to the legitimate and too long-delayed aspirations of this community." Feeder Connections ON this side of the mountains, Klamath Is getting some excellent assistance from other cities and towns which are affected by the outcome of the pending western airlines' cases before CAB. : Lakevlew has taken the lead, and Is not only battling for a feeder service which would connect it with Klamath Falls, but is strong i for the through line service here that would enhance the value of that connection. Alturas, Burns, Ontario, Tulelake, and other communities are indicating similar interest In his recommendation, the CAB examiner recommended that Southwest Airways be given Klamath Falls as an end point of a leg that extends over the mountains to Medford and up through western Oregon to Portland, all for local service. He did not favor the Nevada Pacific Airlines proposal, which covers the feeder service which, political accounts, as money is about the only By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 The off-stage cue music for the Potsdam conference was far less melodious and more subtle than Mr. Truman offered at the piano. Our score was written with the dollar sign over the clef. The pitch was strictly the har monious rattling of gold dollars. As soon as Mr. Truman arrived at the meeting, the senate here was hastily put to fiddling up: $5,929,000,000 which is our part in the Bret ton Woods bank and currency program of $16, 000,000,000 to guarantee international loans and peg wavering monies. $4,375,000,000 for lend-lease for the current fiscal year (Russia said she would like to have $700,000,000 to start, and Britain has Indicated unofficially she will need $3,000,000,000 from some place to get settled financially.) $3,500,000,000 for the export-import bank, of which $2,800,000,000 is an increase to fi nance foreign purchases. $1,000,000,000 for army relief abroad (esti mated need.) $800,000,000 as a total for relief and rehabili tation of UNRRA, of which $700,000,000 has been put up in cash already to meet a total authorization of $1,350,000,000 (senate will grant no more to this outfit than the $900, 000,000 as the army is already taking over the major relief tasks and the Red Cross will get new ventures instead of UNRRA's dwindling organization.) Total In Billions TOTAL, which no one seems to have added before, is $15,700,000,000 for the greatest foreign "spend-lend program ever conceived in the mind of man. After the last war, we poured out a billion a year in foreign loans. That was a drip from the private bucket, practically none of which was restored. This program will faucet at least 15 times as much into Europe from the public purse. It was Mr. Roosevelt s finance agents who figured it would be an improvement this time to take the money from the treasury, although any losses will fall on the average struggling or poor and rich taxpayers, whereas before it fell upon those citizens with enough spare money to buy foreign bonds as an investment Mr. Roosevelt's agents also were responsible for the decision to handle the foreign- spend' lend program separately from the political ne gotiations for peace, and not even to add them up into one program or use them publicly to get our way in international affairs. Check Book Power IUDGING from the timing of the rush im- J posed upon the congressional appropnators, my guess is Mr. Truman will be less inclined to keep the money accounts separate from the : 3 wK fl-t " was a mistake trying lo impress that soUlitr next door by linngiiin out the wash, mother he snitl he wished his mother could liml n moid like mc!" is needed by the east-of-the-mountains commun ities in our area. Nevada-Pacific wants to run one line from Boise through Ontario, Burns and Lakeview to Klamath Falls, and another from Reno through Susanville and Alturas to Klamath Falls. The lines would join here and run to Medford. This is obviously a service that would really go far in developing air transportation east of the Cascades in this big region. It would con nect Klamath Falls with the smaller cities with which it has a definite community of interest. . Klamath Falls, fourth largest city of Oregon, center of a vast trade territory, with agricul tural and lumber industries worth more than $50,000,000 yearly, needs this type of service, as well as the through line service which United ; Airlines and Western Airlines want to put in . here. We have no objection to Southwest Airways service to Klamath Falls, and that route may ; be found to be justified. But it simply does not ., fill the bill for this community, which has suf ! fered a long time at the hands of the govern ! ment authorities controlling airline extensions. The War Today Br DeWITT MaeSENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst EXTENSION of General MacArthur's Pacific army command to include Okinawa and other Ryukyu islands, in preparation "for the final conquest of Japan," has a double signific ance: It increases the stature of f one of the great commanders of history, and it demonstrates that trie allies don't infpnrl in linger unduly over an attempt ! to force surrender by bombing and blockade. Potsdam Echo A E may take this to be an p VV echo from the Potsdam conference, I believe. America and Britain are determined to LWm Moekanxie force the issue against Japan. It must be a matter of extrame satisfaction to MacArthur thus to stand before the mikado's inner fortress, actively preparing to storm it ' unless the enemy offers early capitulation. Hark- ing back to the general's cry "On to Tokyoi" i when he proclaimed the fall of Manila in ; February, and to other notable orders-of-the-. day, one sees the fire of the crusader, whose mission is to smite Japanese aggression and barbarity hip and thigh. J Now this doesn't mean there's no chance to , Japanese surrender short of amphibious in 1 vasion. Capitulation Is possible before Invasion although we can't go so far at this Juncture as to say it is "probable." persuasive power we seem able to wield in Europe. Our check book is the only card we hold. There may be other changes. A labor government, pledged to nationalization of the Bank of England, will require, closer scrutiny of its account than the Churchill government pledged at least to strict tabulation. Indeed, the U. S. may have to reconsider its financial arrangements with Britain. (One senator tells me congress would never nave passed Bretton Woods, had it known it would be faced with money socialization in Britain of an unknown quantity.) Attlee has indicated he intends to pay for the coal mines in bonds, for instance, which will certainly add to Brit ain's financial predicament, already deficient, and the United States hardly intends to be placed in the position of furnishing the labor government the money to finance such under takings. We would not do it for ourselves. Policy For Britain A LESS emotional and more accountable policy toward money-to-Britain therefore must surely follow as a matter of course. With the excellent prospects of a communist victory in the promised fall French elections, changes in governments of Greece and Spain urged by Britain and Russia, etc., the matter of using our money sensibly to protect our ideals, if not the money, becomes visible, to say the least. This American money cue for Potsdam was heightened up harmoniously when. Mr. Truman unexpectedly called in Admiral Land, who has charge of our ships (and we have many times more ships than anyone in the world), and when Mr. Truman announced: "America seeks no territorial expansion," but as far as the reports showed, Russia said nothing and Britain said nothing. The Russian music was a little less clear in tone, and at times reminiscent of the Horst wessel. Pravda, which functions on strings, claimed the Jews had attacked Russian citizens In Palestine, which was denied by Palestine. A few days later the Swiss denied they had abused Russian citizens as charged from Moscow. Then there was some charge In Pravda about Sweden not treating the Russians right. No one here seemed to know what this cue music meant. The only thing familiar about it, was that every time Hitler wanted to seize a country he always claimed his people there were being abused. No one thought Russia was using this established technique for the same purpose, but they did not know what purpose. Britain's contribution to the score was the light Lancashire ditty furnished by the choice of the Lancashire lad, Ernie Bevan, who prom ised to use "real Lancashire," to replace dip lomatic language in international negotiations, as foreign minister. The refrain was not familiar here, or its import reportable. VITAL STATISTICS i pltal, Klamath Fall. Ore., on Aumn i 3, IMS, to Mr. and Mr. 8. B. Doega, j no nuniiuai, girie )cMaTa.

Brownell Sees Rising GOP Tide SPOKANE, Aug. 6 P) Re publican National Committee Chairman Herbert Brownell Jr., said yesterday that republican aspects had been improved by the labor party's victory in Eng land. "Everywhere In the west there is a rising republican tide,'' Brownell said. "The recent swing to the left In Britain has aroused Americans to the danger of continuing the present ad ministration in power in this country. I am confident the re publicans can get control of the house next year." Brownell was to confer with party officials in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, today. De Locy Reveals Alumina Plant Plans SEATTLE, Aug. 6 fPi The war production board has not recommended stoppage of opera tions at the new alumina plant at Salem, Rep. Hugh De Lacy (D-wash.) said Saturday he Had been Informed. "The WPB soon will recom mend the Salem plant as non essential to the war," De Lacy said he had been advised. But Sam Husbands of the reconstruction finance corpora tion states definitely that when WPB makes that recommenda tion, the RFC will continue the operation of the Salem plant to test processes until proper sur plus disposal is arranged."

She still has many talks over the party line telephone Ernie once said people In Dunu didn't mind party lino phones Decause mcy una noining to Ditto anyway and she goes to month ly meetings of the Merry House wives' club. "We don't gossip or play cards at our club, she smiled. "At least we don't think wo gossip." Aunt Mary has been widowed 18 years. She has worked hard all her days and nursed her sis ter Ernie's mother for four years before Mrs. Pyle's death. Holding her work-g n a r 1 e d hands before her, she said half shyly, half-humorously: "They aren't the hands of a lady." But the way she said it you knew she didn't regret a wrinkle or callous in them. She has had the serenity of spirit to rise above every sadness in life ex cept the loss of the one the world knew as "Ernie" and whom she always called "Ernest." She and Will went to Indian apolis as guests of honor at the world premiere of her nephew's motion picture, "The Story of GI Joe.," proceeds of which went to a Pyle Journalistic Memorial Scholarship fund at Indiana university. Before signing the movie con tract Ernie had grinned and told Producer Lester Cowan he would do so only with the pro viso that his dad and Aunt Mary got "free passes" to the first per formance. When the lights came up, Aunt Mary was weeping. The TRUMAN TELLS UNITED STATES SECRET WON (Continued From Pag One) large ordnance, machine tool and aircraft plants. The raid on Hiroshima, local Pd on Honshu islund on the shores of the Inland sen, had not been disclosed previously although the 20th air force on Ciiiiim unnnunced that SR0 Su ptM'foits raided four Japanese cities nt about the snmo time, The city of :il 8.000 also coiv tains a principal port. German Attempt The president disclosed that the uermans "worked tovensiv ly" in search of a way to use atomic energy in their war er fort but failed. Meantime Amer ican and British scientists studied the problem and devel oped two principal plants and some lesser factories for the production of atomic power, The president disclosed that more than S3, 000 persons now arc working in great secrucy in these plants, adding: "We have spent $2,000,000, 000 on the greatest scientific gamble In history and won." "We are now prepared to ob literate more rapidly and com pletely every productive enter prise the Japanese have above ground In any city. We shall completely destroy Japan's pow er to muko war." Japs Warned Tho president noted that the Big Thrco ultimatum Issued July 2U at Potsdam was Intended "to spare tho Japanese pcoplo from utter destruction and tho Japa nese leuders rejected It. 'I he atomic bomb now Is the answer to that rejection and tho presi dent said "they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth." Mr. Trumon forecast that sea and land forces will follow up this air attack in such numbers and power as the Japanese never have witnessed. Opens Wty The president said that this discovery may open the way for on entirely new concept of force and power. Tho actual harness ing of atomic energy may In the future supplement the power that now comes from coal, oil and the great dams, he said. "It has never been the habit of scientists of this country or the policy of this government to withhold from the world scientific knowledge," Mr. Tru man said. "Normally therefore everything about the work with atomic energy would be made public", That will have to wall, how ever, he said, until the war emergency is over. The new Calcutta Kunming pipeline runs a distance of 17.10 miles, making it the longest pipe line in tho world. portrayal of Ernie on the screen had shaken her.
