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

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.

"MY REVERIES"
In a oulet woodland valley
Nestled there beneath the pines.
Stands a quaint and rustic cot-
Use
Happy childhood home of mine.
Years have passed with fleeting
footsteps.
Still I love each rock and rill
Still sits the cabin staunch and
sturdy.
Still grow wild strawberries on
tne mil.
There roses bloom in great pro'
fusion
As they did in days of yore.
And the same soft summer
breezes
Wafts their fragrance in the
door.
Often I go back in reverie
To that cottage in the dell.
Join the family by the fireside,
See the ivy covered well.
Hear again the gleeful shouting
Of the children there at play,
As the golden sun was sinking
In the West at close of day.
Stroll along down memories
pathway
To those treasured haunts sub
lime. Listen to the tinkling cowbell
As Boss came home at milking
time.
In that quiet woodland valley
Nestled there beneath the pines,
I live again my childhood days
In that cabin home of mine.

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.

Alumina Plant Plans

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

WPB makes that recommenda
tion, the RFC will continue the
operation of the Salem plant to
test processes until proper sur
