The marine very def initely conveyed his belief that he had been snubbed at .the other places because he wore the uniform and was not :an "old customer." ! Today, from a local civilian, comes another letter, suggest ing that possibly the condition 'encountered by the marine is just a part of the times, and 'that civilians also have their troubles of a similar nature. EPLEY ; In fact, he relates a parallel experience. ; It is possible, as the civilian suggests, that (our marine friend was unduly sensitive, and blamed his uniform for what would happen . j to him in civvies. We hope that is the case, for we believe it should be the continued com ( munity policy of Klamath Falls to extend warm ! hospitality and every civil courtesy to the serv (Ice people stationed here. i Two years ago, when the military installa tions were just getting started here, Klamath recognized and accepted these responsibilities in fine spirit. In general, we believe it has . i continued to do a good job as host city to service people. But as time goes on, and the ' war psychology changes, we must guard against becoming careless and lax. 1 First Contacts AS was the case when the Barracks first started, the marines coming here are chiefly new arrivals from the Pacific area and it is here they get their first contact with civilians ; on their return to the States. That first im ' pression is mighty important to them. Let's do : our best to make it a favorable one. Putting it on a purely selfish basis, it will be mighty valuable to this community in the years to come if there are men and women all over .the country who, once stationed here, remember the place favorably and speak a good word for it. That is a public relations project that will pay dividends. Because it is human nature to look with distaste on anything which one is forced to ; take without choice, service people are likely to be highly critical of any community in which they are stationed. That gives the place a handicap at the start. But there is a spirit in -' this community that can overcome it, and that . is the spirit that should prevail, right through 1 to the end. j Western Friendliness OFFSETTING that handicap, we do have an advantage in the natural friendliness of . the west. ' ' .. r A service man friend of ours, who has long been In the east and midwest, dropped in on us today. "A fellow forgets," he said. "I was actually ' surprised when I first arrived in Portland and bought a newspaper from a man on the street. : He grinned at me and said Thank you'. "And then I knew that the west has always been that way. I hope it never changes." News Behind The News j By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 Wonders never cease. The leftlearung New Dealers pro- gram for postwar, substituted by President Tru man, hit the conservatives as just about right. The stock market went gleefully up. Indeed it ' went up about as much as leftwing prestige i here. The millennium therefore definitely ar ; rived for a day or two at least. The phenomena is not difficult to understand and explain, it you ttudy the program and add it up. Truman Promises FUNDAMENTALLY the new president prom ised to provide all those rights Mr. Roose velt used to talk about by encouraging private business to provide full employment at decent wages. This is Just what the country wants. And he offered his promise without a word of bitterness against anyone, or bestirring a single class hate. But, conversely, he asked for an Increased appropriation for everything, except war more free (without taxes) unemployment compensa tion for civilians and soldiers, more public works, housing, farm-price stabilization, re search science, veterans, health, social security, foreign relief, FEPC, oven more salaries for congressmen. For 18,000 words he continued enumerating necessities for increased govern ment appropriations, but in 250 words he said there could be no cessation of wartime tax rates and that his spending budget for this fiscal year involving less than two months of war activ ity would run 566,000,000,000, which would continue about two-thirds of the war expendi tures rate until next July 1. Contradiction ANYONE can see and understand these pro positions, but economists may have diffi culty reconciling them. If full employment is to be furnished through greatly expanded and encouraged private production, why does the government avoid the point of greatest encour agement to private initiative (tax reduction) and plan' spending all that money six times as much as Mr. Roosevelt ever spent? Where is the need for it in what is officially proclaimed a temporary unemployment condition in some in dustries. The contradiction does not stop there. Mr. Truman's own director of economic stabiliza tion, William Davis, announced, just before the message, a great prosperity is ahead for the next few years, which would lift living stand ards for the people 50 per cent without increas ing prices. He figured on doing it apparently by increasing wages only in places where these would not force price increases, which, in my opinion, would be a spectacular feat, if it could be done. The low wage industries are those liloa canning and farm help, and if the mini mum wage can be jumped in those without in creasing the price of food, I would like to see it done, before believing. Permanent Budget BUT Mr .Truman's treasury secretary, the Newdealing Mr. Vinson, says that the per manent budget beginning next July 1 (Mr. Tru man did not mention this) would be at least $25,000,000,000 a year or nearly three times as much as Mr. Roosevelt ever spent in peacetime. Here again is vital contradiction. If we are ;ntering a greatly higher sphere of prosperity, making all those autos, radios and washing ma- chines we need, (and the stock market confirms Mr. Davis) why have a permanent budget of $25,000,000,000? Why spend three times more than Mr. Roosevelt in a coming prosperous period. Would it not be simple prudence to hold back all these . proposed government ex penditures, until the pentup war demand wears off in a few years and an economic justification for them exists? Does not government spend ing now compete with private enterprise and add to inflation hazards, which the government economists all consider, so dire? Is'there not a natural, fundamental, uncon ceivable contradiction in this , program which needs, resolving? Conflict Of Purpose OUT contradictions do not end there, either. D Within details of the program there are conflicts of purpose. The rnajor manpower re conversion task is to induct the returning low salaried soldier and the high salaried war worker back into their old jobs. Neither wants very much to go. The veteran has discharge pay and allowances enabling him to lay off for a rest, at least, and then seek a better job or unemployment compensation while the war worker naturally does not in full unanim ities want to do his old work on the farm or in consumer services. Will an increase m the government allowances aid this transition or further accelerate natural individual inclina tions? This, and continued high taxes on private initiative would seem to me to work to dis courage the basic Truman policy. , My point about the program therefore is that the specific recommendations go cqntrary to the very popular and laudible basic purpose. While the aim is sound, the program is no more sound than when congress always rejected it, as proposed by Mr. Roosevelt and endorsed by CIO. Mr. Truman just makes it sound nice.

CIVILIAN WATCH UNFIXED KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To the Editor) I would like to add this to Cpl. Ervin G. Mertes' lit tie story about The Jewelry Prof. The corrjoral has the wrong impression of the above- mentioned gentleman. Now the writer, who is a civ llian, and who also has a watch tnat is suriertng irom tne pip and who has been a very fair customer ol the aforesaid Jewel ry man, did enter the portals of one oi our stores with said watch (and a very beautiful gal, and I mean just that) opened our watch, looked us in the eye and said, "It will take three months and cost 58.75." We thought kutj ana said tnamk you very much, took our watch and de parted to another store where a gentleman dressed much in the style of an undertaker at a high ciass lunerat looKed me over, much as one looks at an emaci ated angleworm and loftily in formed me it would take six months.. Now. as far as wc are con cerned, that is that, and the onlv reason I mention the dam thine is oecause my military inend seems to think his uniform was against him, while I am just won dering if my corduroys and tan shirt might have given the im pression that I was down to my last dime.
