Oregon, by the Herald Publishing Co. and the ISawi PublUhln Company, Member, AnocliUd Preu Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY PEOPLE who read our paper Saturday know something now of the facts about the Klamath naval air station which were nccessar- 11 v kcnl secret lor military reasons until the end of the war. Nadine Palmcrton's story, and the official navy pictures - with engravings made by Wcs Gudcrian, were designed to give a comprehensive report to local people who, naturally enough, have been curious about the operation of the big navy aviation installation here. Planes flying from carriers had a vital part in winning the ..int,... In hA Pnrlflr. and the Klamath station naa a vnai pan in me iui training of carrier pilots. It was here that they polished off their shooting, bombing and flying talents just before hopping overseas to give the Japs the works. We have good rea son to be proud of the contribution of the Klamath station, with its Lakcview auxiliary facilities and the big shooting ranges nearby, to the winning of the war. Local Hopes Fulfilled EARLY in the war, and even before Pearl Harbor, Klamath people became Intensely interested in the possibility of making military lie of the municipal airport. The first contacts vere with the army, and in the fall of 1941 -almost exactly four years ago an army board '" .ame here to look over the situation. A vast amount of information was supplied to this board by local men who worked night and day to get it together. Because the board had indicated it might be interested In a site not on the present airport, the Klamath com 1 mittee prepared an Inventory of possible sites In all parts of the basin. Detailed reports of pertinent information about the community were made. The board members ' said after their visit here that no community had done a better job of cooperation with them. A Grand Job NOW here's the interesting thing about the work of that army board. When it left here, it prepared report on the Klamath location which was favorable In every aspect but one. The board said it saw the possibility of danger to fliers from migratory birds in this area! The Klamath people got wind of this report, and did everything possible to change or dis count it. Men who had flown hundreds of hours from this field wrote letters saying they had never encountered any trouble with birds. Later, after the army had dickered over a long period for the field without doing any thing definite, the navy became interested m it. Lt. Commander Bill Randall, who had been manager of the Klamath municipal field and was flying for the navy, came through here several times, showing the advantages of th fog-free Klamath foute for coastwise flying. He stopped in the chamber of commerce on one of his trips, and Earl Reynolds, then secre tary suggested he discuss the field with navy officials at Seattle. That was the start. The navy people came here, decided it was what they wanted for gunnery training, and before long the ball was rolUng. They developed a erand station here, and it has done a grand job. " No Bird Trouble NOW, what about the birds? We were out at the air station the other day, and we asked the operations people if they had had any trouble with birds. They seemed a little surprised at the quesUon, and then said that in all of the hundreds and hundreds of hours of flying from the Klamath field, navy planes have never encountered any difficulty with birds. They simply are not a hazard. The army board's visit is now far in the past, and a lot of water has gone under the : bridge since then. So we can't resist giving the board the bird about the birds. It didn't seem 'like a sound point then, and what has happened since has certainly proved it to be wholly of no importance. ,, , With the assistance of the late Senator Charles L McNary, the matter was quite thoroughly taken care of back in 1941, Just after the board was here, but certainly what has happened with the navy since writes the obituary for a mis taken theory. Meanwhile, Klamath has found great gratifi cation in the use of its field by the navy, and there have been many mutual benefits. It U to be hoped that the navy continues activity on the field Indefinitely, sharing it with commer cial and private aviation which should develop extensively here In the immediate future. Slaughterers Predict End of Meat Ration PORTLAND, Sept. 10 (IP) Oregon slaughterers predicted . today the removal of slaughter- '. lng quotas will hurry the end of meat rationing. John Landinser. secretary of the Oregon Food Merchants as sociation, said a survey of stores revealed supplies of beef, veal and iamb were piling up. - He said food retailers report ed customers haven't enough points to purcnase available sup plies. FARM INCOME RAISE WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 MP) Average net farm income In Ore gon was $2941, a Blight increase over the 1943 average of $2700, he bureau of labor statistics re , rted today.

Lipstick 25c to $1.00 From Doc and Idella's Drug Store Phone 846S MALCOLM RPLKV Member Audit Bureau Circulation rw - w'W epley Program Known THE program was so well known, that the news-men, who usually scurry about and get comment from congressmen on all import ant presidential messages, did not bother the first few hours afterward. They said they would get some later when they got around to it. Yet I think the radio voices for another reason were right. The unscnsational and routine facial appearance of the opening and program really represents a delayed new move ment of the ClO-PAC and leftist New Deal clan to capture control of the course of gov ernment. Every outstanding item of the congressional agenda, that Mr. Truman presented or endorsed, originated in that source without a single ex ception. CIO Moves In THIS session heralds the CIO moving in for the pay-off on the last election, now that peace has returned. It is a pay-off always denied to a major extent under Roosevelt chiefly by congressional resistance and factional opposition within the administration. It in cludes the full employment plan, increased un employment insurance, increase of minimum wage from 40 cents to 60 cents an hour "no union busting legislation" (as Mr. Truman said), expanded social security, one-man management of surplus property (Roosevelt idea), no tax reduction, continued spending, fair employ ment practices, anti-lynching and anti-poll1 tax and nothing else except a Pearl Harbor in-' vestlgatlon. (The Ball-Burton-Hatch labor reform bill Is awaiting a belated hearing.) The program sounds prosaic because it hardly fits the visible facts of economic life today the crying need for employment apparent in the want-ad section of every newspaper, the current official promises of a boom for the next 3 to 5 years, and even politically, the im pregnable prestige of the Truman administra tion but that's the program. Naturar Conclusion NOW, justifiably or not, the common opinion In. congress is that Mr. Truman has de cided to go that way, definitely. This conclus ion is natural not alone from the program but the simultaneous appointment of Ben Cohen, an original Roosevelt brain truster to the third ranking post in the state department (councilor) and of CIO's McKeough to the maritime com mission. All this leaves the average congressman to make a decision whether he will stick by his guns of opposition and face a fight by the CIO-PAd against re-election next year, or join the Washington trend.' Frankly, I think most of them will stick by their guns, for several reasons. The program itself is not popular now. It has no evident full body of public opinion behind it. Furthermore CIO itself is not popular or strong, except financially. It is loaded with untaxable money, but nothing it has done lately has enhanced public support in the south and west or even in industrial centers outside New York City, which seems to be its psychological stronghold. Re-election for the average congressman therefore may be made easier by opposition than support. Resistance Gone TRUE enough, the leading executive resistance to CIO has been washed out by removal of Mr. Byrnes to the state department, where his activities are confined to foreign matters, and Messrs. Ickes and Wallace, the focal heads of CIO executive representation, are to remain in the cabinet. This makes the current situation entirely different from the stalemate of the Roosevelt regime. So I feel safe In reporting the session may well be momentous. IRRIGATION TO STOP MEDFORD, Sept. 10 m Rogue River valley's irrigation system will halt after September 25.

StpUmbtr 10. 1943 By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 "The most mo mentous session of congress in peacetime history," is what the radio voices are sayuig of the quiet, uneventful, dull reconvening of the seventy-ninth, after holidays. This sounds strange, with no outstanding reconversion pro gram proposed, no peace treaties yet ready, no tax reduction from war in prospect, no new spectacular spending program to enliven things, as the administration is preparing to run Its $60,000,000,000 annual post-war spending rate down in 10 months to a tidy and permanent $25,000,000,000, and needs no appropriations or legislation for this, or lend lease, or any pending matter of corresponding importance. No one said anything momentous the first few days. Mr. Truman specifically avoided a tone of gravity or weightlncss in his message. He just went whole-hog, as they would say in Missouri, for the Roosevelt program. This would have been a shock to some people, but not to any reader of this column (see first two columns on Mr. Truman when he assumed of fice, saying he would do just this.)

I never really achieved so much amusement over peo ple s nonsense, even those who had Imbibed too much of the beer that was said to have been at the Marine Barracks. That day we noticed others who must have managed to inveigle some of the said beer from the said marines in that said V-J day because the rest of us were not supposed to have such. And then what happened. We rowed you all known who from. That voice which came steadily and true so many times over our radios when our fears all but had our hopes tottering in those dark I early hours of the war. ' I Why do we have this strike? First because one man did not choose to loin our little club. so we Just won't play with you, in fact we just won t play at all. I happen to be one of the gen eration of women who went through that other World War as a young adult. When the armistice was signed I was too ill to get out and enjoy the fun but nevertheless I was happy because I knew my honey would not have to go. I seem to remember the de pression of 1020 mostly in 20 as tinned goods came on the mar ket at so much lower price, such as bacon and sardines. Goods the government was not going to need "over there." Also the farmers holding their wheat par ticularly tor prices to come DacK which they did not do. I remember the cellar of can ned fruit and vegetables we had. that year when our third little girl was born in January of '22. I remember putting several months in advance two or three or five dollars at a time in an old teapot up in the cupboard until I had $35 toward my ex pected expenses. Then in August, 1929, a rapid and too-changing group of cir cumstances landed us in Klam ath Falls. There were some rather amusing things included in these events. Such as having our furniture all stolen from a locked house in Bend, and the 1931 and 32 depression found us so deeply grieved and struggling to get the necessary things for home use on the magnificent income of two and three days a A Fence to Meet Every Need Pi Made from selected 48 In. full slsa wood slats, arenlf paced and woven batwetn S cables oi heavy wire.

We have mostly struggled from under the load of indebtedness thoso years of concurring illnesses, deaths in the families and all thoso things which coma to all of us. Our lives have been no different from hundreds of others of our generation. We have bought onds and worked In Rod Cross and generally did as all of the rest have done In the winning of this war. We had one more thing to feel particularly happy over on V-J day. We were so sure that we had thing's so that Denny, as you at the mill know him could leave his job in not more tlum 90 days and a possible four or five months could say to a returned serviceman, "Buddy," here Is my job. I have a new one. One I have always wanted to follow but never could quite get start ed." This is just our story. I can look all around me here and see those young couples who started after that 1932 depres sion. Those men who were lust above the draft age. Who had perhaps had to wait months to get their chance of having a steady job. Who went to Kcno or elsewhere to dances and saved enough out of their five day a week pay to get a car. then a sweetheart, then said sweetheart a diamond, and in due time mar riage, cither here, Reno or else where. Those men, whether members of the CIO, the AFL or no union have from one to three children. They have managed to acquire fairly good furniture, their wives in most cases a fur coat, and saved enough to make a payment on a home but still have a ways to go before said home is paid for. Give them a break boys. What of the husbands of those girls who were celebrating be cause their honeys are coming home. Lots of those boys we know will come home to dis illusionments enough. Why make them more. Then, boys, there is still that younger gen eration, who have got their Ideas so far ahead of their years. I mean those Boys between the ages of 15 to 17 who haVe been doing men's work but who will find with the return of the boys. They need their football and basketball and their various dates and nonsense. I have made my appeal of liv ing. If that Is not enough, think of that mother and sisters who are very good friends of mine, who are waiting hourly for word which will tell them what the fate of brother Jimmy has been. Incidentally I happen to know there has been no looa scrvca DHEAD IS AT ITS BEST ALWAYS. ...WHEN IT'S The War Today By D.WITT M.cKENZIE Auoclatfd Prit War Analyst The BlR Five council of for olgn minlstors, meeting In Lon don tomorrow, will In effect con stitute a cllnlo which will Rlvo em'opo a tii'iis tlii overhaul ing and deter mino the loal ttute of peace's health.
