Ore. on Auguit 20, 1906, under act of con g re, March S. 1870 Member, Aaaociated Praaa Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY DEER hunters who go into the open country this weekend are reminded of three major dangers: Careless shooting. Fire. Jap balloon bombs. Balloon bombs are a hang-over threat from ' the war that many people may already have forgotten. Hundreds of bal loons were wafted In the di rection of this country in the : past two years, and it's a cinch that many landed in remote spots where they have so far gone undiscovered. . There's a strong likelihood that hunters, in this first post war hunting season, may come upon some of these extremely , dangerous gadgets. Fortunately, they know . more about them than did EPLEY - the party of six which, kept ignorant by sense less censorship, came upon and tampered with a balloon bomb near Bly which killed all of them. Safest thing is not to touch the things but to make a careful note of the exact loca tion and notify the authorities when contact . can be made with them. That location business " Is mighty important .: The Klamath country has been exceptionally free for many years of hunting accidents. There . have been a number, but the percentage is low In view of the large number of hunters In this area. It must be that hunters here generally known how to handle firearms, know when to shoot-and what to shoot at. There is no doe season this year, and the safe hunter will wait Until he sees horns. Shooting at sounds and mere movements invites tragedy. Hunters are fortunate that closures have been generally lifted in time for this season's opening; they can show their gratitude by extreme care with fire. The woods are still , pretty dry. In many places, there is less mois- . ture content than In mid-August. Hunters' fires bring public disfavor to the sport and may mean serious restrictions in future years. Deer hunting in our country is grand sport. It means camping, and companionship, and contact with the woods and the desert and the mountains that does something for a man's . soul. . Here's happy hunting to all real sportsmen! Circulation Calls THE HERALD AND NEWS has not been very proud of its delivery service in the war period. It was pretty bad at times, and efforts to improve it weren't very successful. Among the youngef fry who deliver papers were dis covered an unprecedented lack of responsibil ity, due, perhaps, to the fact that money was easy and jobs plentiful. Herald and News carriers make excellent -wages for the time required and type of work. We anticipate that there will be a change to the better in the service. For those who do not get their papers, here's -a suggestion. Call the office, No. 8111, up , to 7 p. bl, and after . that, or if that call fails, call the circulation manager, 7468. The numbers will be found daily in the masthead at the top of this column. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 Major General Wild Bill Donovan bowed out of the : first real American intelligence service (OSS) with a somewhat cool-sounding response from President Truman to his idea of developing , his line of effort further for peace. Mr. Tru man cut up OSS, sending part to the war de ; partment, but most to state. The Donovan notion of hiring someone like Sumner Welles, the ex-diplomat, to keep intimate and inde Harvest Moon Swings Low Over Earth This Autumn RANDOM ASTRONOMICAL NOTES By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, General Extension Division University of Oregon Autumn is again with us. This year it began officially on September 23, at 2:50 a. m., Pa cific daylight saving time, (3:50 a. m. mountain daylight saving time), (4:50 a. m. central day light saving time). On this date the sun was on the celestial equator, and at noon was 23' lower in the southern sky than on the longest day in June, and 23 M degrees higher than it will be on the shortest day of De cember. It was thus at midway . coon-point in- its 47-dcgree southward shift. This is the au tumnal equinox, when the sun rises due east and sets due west everywhere in the world.

If we do, we miscalculation woefully weak (our military was guided by lights the whole earth from pole to pole. Also with us is that delightful season of harvest moon, when for about a week the jolly face of our lunar neighbor peers above the eastern horizon only about 30 minutes later each suc ceeding evening. This provides an abundance of illumination in the early night for a consider able period. In early times this afforded an opportunity for har vest work in the moonlit fields. The term "harvest moon" still carries much of romance for us. The harvest moon is especial ly brilliant this year, for it is now at about its nearest ap proach to the earth, making it ou per ceni Drignter wan in the years when it is farthest away at the full phase.

Sept. 28. 1945 pendent watch on the inner International world, was left hanging in air somewhat foggy air. . General Donovan ha never been a glamour boy. He. is a rather crusty soldier-lawyer, Those who know what he did in the confi - agent part of the war say his work in the Balkans particularly was excellent and could have been dona by no one else as well. Into his organization, however, crept a number of persons who did not fit the best nature of the endeavor and gave it distaste with congress. I think this fairly sums up OSS. It did great work, but was not popular. (I can never learn what accomplishes popular ity in this era when a bank robber can possibly attain it by merely being for the 30-hour week or some such social innovation.) Grave Danger IN the wake of this peculiar condition, con gressmen are arising to shout "There will be no American gestapo," and I assume also they mean no OGPU or NKVD. Indeed there will not. But there is a grave danger that the first vital necessity for a secure postwar world will be ignored and shunted aside by muddle headed political thinking about it. If you thought Pearl Harbor a surprise and blitx warfare sudden as lightning, you are already old-fashioned and obsolete in your thinking. The next war will start like a flash the brilliant blinding flash of the atomic bomb. If our defenses were archaic last time, they will be pitiful next time unless our officials know everything going on in this world. Advance knowledge is more essential to defense in a future world than a superior air force, an army or fleet. , World Intelligence a. kit ho fnsu-ists or the communist nations. In but the British, a democratic nation, have the best world Intelligence. It was bum up wrougn generations. Their survival depended upon it, because their little islands had absolutely noth ing to justify their superior position In the world, except an awareness of the facts of na tional existences and a superior shrewdness in using them. That is what we need only a better one. It cannot be an army enterprise because the army covers only one phase of world facts influencing peace and security. It cannot be navy, marine corps, or merely all three to gether, because diplomacy must be founded upon such information (the British even move commercially from such realistic ground news.) It cannot be split, or you will have each de partment performing again the coordination they showed about Pearl Harbor namely none. Independent Bureau CONSEQUENTLY it must be an independent bureau covering at least these government elements and probably more (justice depart ment and FBI.) Furthermore, the head must be a man whose character and personality guar antee full pursuit of the business to be done, and a complete disavowal of any political impli cations in the work. He roust not be a leftist or right or even a professional democrat or republican. That service must lean over back wards to keep itself politically inviolable, and beyond even the faintest suspicion of political use. (The British know, how to do it.) The only limit on its appropriations should be our need of information. If we need the information get it If the spenders want to let treasury money loose, here is one place where they could get something out of it. Some interested parties wish to limit the scope of activity to foreign information. It should be limited only by need. If it is found counter- H-nlnnnrvn In into WUinlfV rMlllirf-A Bptinn. IIO pedaling considerations should stand in the way of getting it- Beginning System THIS may sound to you as if I am editorial! ing. You would be mistaken if you drew that assumption too fully. Mr. Truman, in his letter to Donovan, said his reassignment and breakup of OSS "represent the beginning of a coordinated system of foreign intelligence with in the permanent framework of the govern he indicated other government be brought in. Stronger and faster action is needed, and will have to be taken. I can report there is a good chance this nation's directors, in the future, may know fully what is going on in this world in which will never again so grossly mis place our diplomatic and defense line on the that the nazis would defeat the Russian army in three months believed this .and our diplomacy it,) or to make such blunders of defense and diplomacy which surrounded the whole Pearl Harbor affair from the time half the fleet was moved out of the Pacific until the casualties were counted in this war.

Con siderable curiosity even anxie ty is often caused by its antics.

AP Foreign Ailalrs Analyst The scientists who developed the atomic bomb are reported largely In favor of plucing con trols around it """' " i through inter national a e tion. There is discussion o t whether It should be giv en to Russia, The military, of course, wants to re tain It In deep est secrecy. The diplo matic ISDL'CtS MacKENZIE of the dlscovory seem to over shadow, for the moment, Its ul timate social and material role. No Information It Is an occasion when the general public cannot be fully informed, either on the Interna tional political problems or the immediate possibilities of the now power itself, and so Is forced to rely on governmental leaders to decide. There is no general knowledge of how many atomic bombs have been made, what the production rate Is or may be, how close scientists throughout the world may bo to the secret, or whnt new dlscov cries may be in the offing. There Is nothing definite as to tho political line-up of notions tomorrow, much less In a year or two, when now airplanes al ready being developed and new radio-controlled rocket-like wea pons of tremendous range will have created great changes in military thinking. Atom Problem There aro thoso who think that the English-speaking peo ples have demonstrated such an active interest in world comi ty that, for as long as possible, the atom secret would be saf est with them. Others feel that ctiuuiuy ui rcopuuai unity anu mutual trust in tna united na tions organization must be the foundation of all peace, and that the mere attempt of one nation or group of nations to retain a private bludgeon will be dis ruptive. Extremists on both sides those who would try to keep the secret and use the power to coerce everyone else into our way of thinking, and those who despair of either control or peace, urging only development of the bomb and preparation of defenses seem to be. ; making little headway. - ..... Move Cautiously The mere fact that the lead ers who will have to decide arc. moving cautiously to learn what should be done, without DUblic disolay of preconceived opinions from which it might be hard to retreat, indicates that headway has been made. by pro ponents of a middle ground. ( Some of these, at least, have been working for a flexible poli cy which would nor, in the long run, defeat itself by forestalling adjustment to new develop ments. Under lt, the use of atomic wcapoBS might be placed under the control ol the United Nations, with its secret and its production remaining, at least for the time being, in English- speaking hands. Then, when it is determined wnat snare tnc various powers are to play in backing United Nations edicts with armed cower, allocation of atomic production to other pow ers might be considered.
