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.

Autumn is again with us.

cific daylight saving time, (3:50
a. m. mountain daylight saving

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

Also with us is that delightful
season of harvest moon, when
for about a week the jolly face

about 30 minutes later each suc

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.

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-

that assumption too fully. Mr. Truman, in his

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

the mere attempt of one nation
or group of nations to retain a
private bludgeon will be dis
ruptive. Extremists on both sides

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

defenses seem to be. ; making
little headway. - .....

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

atomic wcapoBS might be placed
under the control ol the United

for the time being, in English-

is determined wnat snare tnc
