Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
ELSEWHERE in today's paper will be found
a verbatim account of a report made by
Dr. Lawrence Riggs on the possible need for a
-'Y" center in Klamath Falls.
Dr. Riggs,. after a survey,
recommends the center, and
his report deserves the careful
Btudy of all responsible citi
zens. We suggest that it be
cliprjed from today's paper
and' retained for reference as
this matter is made the sub
ject of widespread community
discussion. ,
Establishment o a "Y
center here would mean the
...nntinn nf n rreat deal of
responsibility by the people of this community.
It would be a local project It would NOT mean
, that
a national agency wouia
.nri An n 1oh for US.
It would
;i . community, would undertake a big, im-
" portant job for ourselves, paying our own way,
; with a national affiliation bringing the benefit
4; of many years of experience and trained lead-
i ership. .. . . . .
It is therefore a decision that must be made
locally, and if it is an affirmative decision, it
f must be followed by a great deal of devoted
. i f.nntintiino- indefinitelv mtO'
; wont uu aujjjw.
r. the future. . .. ,.
We have as a basis for consideration, the
study made by Dr. Riggs. We regard his ob
servations as apt and accurate, and the plan
; that brought him here for an investigation of .
; this nature was most sound as a first step. His
objective observations and conclusions will be ,
i found most interesting and stimulating; again
we urge their careful reading.
We are convinced that a "Y" center as
envisioned in this report and by the local group
now working on the problem would be of
vital benefit to the community. But we will
have to go the whole way to get those benefits;
half-hearted efforts, without full community un-
. derstanding and support, will not succeed and
' will not be worth the attempt
The question is not merely whether the "V
center would be a worthy project It isn't that
.7 simple. The question is whether the people of
this community are willing to give it the
f devotion and support that will make it worthy.
We are willing to take Dr. Riggs" word that the
,! "Y" center would fill a need. The people of
: Klamath Falls and surrounoings are going io
; have to demonstrate whether they want that
' need filled. w

News Behind The News
Br PAUL. MALLOW
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 Mr. Truman is
having more trouble with congress than
is apparent.
An increasing number of members of both
houses are stiffening their backs against the
usual political pressures, believing the nation
is in a serious crisis.
The utmost effort of Senator Floor Leader
Berkley was necessary; for instance, to get the
CIO-PAC man Raymond McKeough. confirmed
for six years on the maritime commission. It
was dragged out of the senate by a margin of
only eight votes, after considerable inside dick
ering. To get it through Barkley had to make
it a party matter, and even then nine democrats
refused to go along.
The opposition frankly questioned the wisdom
of putting a CIO official, but even more than
that, a man who led the political action part of
CIO in three western states, into a position of
power over the merchant marine whose unions
are recognized as probably the most extreme
in the country and all over the objection of
AFL.
Appeased By Promises
MORE democrats privately held this con
viction, than voted it These were ap
peased by personal promises McKeough would
not use his position for CIO-PAC purposes,
but his actions on the commission will find
close congressional scrutiny from now on.
I suspect more than a majority of democrats
thought it a mistake to place an outside party
man, able to wield such immense political ac
tion power in a six-year job.
Conversely, the developing administration
foreign policy is meeting almost unanimous
senate approval. After two-and-a-half hours be
hind the doors with State Secretary Byrnes,
the foreign relations committee members, both
republicans and democrats emerged tn a fav
orable mood.
Mr. Byrnes knows how to handle senators
from long experience and he handled them
this time by leaving them convinced he had
told them all there was to know about the
London conference. What they heard did not
contradict anything the public already knows,
but the details which Byrnes gave put con
vincing emphasis upon the public announce
ments of the results.
....
Nomination Delayed
THIS enabled him to escape the hole he was
. in on the Braden appointment. This nom
ination of the new ambassador to Argentina
has been delayed through several secret ses
sions of the committee. Senators felt Byrnes
had made a mistake in not consulting the com
mittee in . advance, not notifying the other
Latin American nations, and that Braden had
been too active in earlier Argentinian affairs.
Some were angry because the Pan American
conference set for October 20, had been post
poned to November 20. I judge that Latin
affairs got out of Byrnes' hands while he' was
busy preparing for London and at the peace
conference.
Even the Byrnes policy on the Far East found
favorable support when he told the senators
he was behind General MacArthur without
reservation.
The tax bill went almost unanimously through
the house when the administration, came to
terms with the varying viewpoints, 'it will be
amended in the senate, but only in details,
unless the republicans break loose and demand
a less modest cut. The other parts of. the ad
ministration program are still facing opposition.
....
Truman Loses Ground
CONSIDERED all in all, ft is evident Mr.
Truman has lost some ground in con
gress, but not to any decisive extent yet com
parable to the condition into which Mr. Roose
velt worked himself.
His statement when he returned from his
weekend vacation urging the country to go to
work conveyed an inspiration which . caught
popular favor, although many are waiting to
see how he comes out with the strike question.
For instance the oil people got their 13 per cent
and the opportunity to dicker for the other
IS per cent, and' in the settlements it is clear
he can yet lose his whole case against inflation.
Some murmuring was heard because he went
away for his. long planned trip in the middle
of the strike crisis, but there is a tendency in
congress to Judge him by the results be gets.
accept a free exchange of com
mercial transport rights.
Dr. Edward P. Warner, PICAO
president and formerly vice
chairman of the civil aeronau.
tics board, said the transit agree.
ment drawn at Chicago which
20 countries have accepted -
tans snort oz tne idea for which
bymlngton had made "so vigor
ous a plea." But, he added, it
"does at least accomplish an
enormous reduction in the
amount of special negotiation
and trading that needs to pre
cede the establishment of a new
air service or the extension of an
old one."
The transit agreement Is an
exchange of the right to fly over
and make non-traffic stops in a
country. The type of agreement
Symington had in mind would
exchange the right to make traf
fic stops.

REPLY TO CRAWFORDS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor): Have been a sub
scriber and reader of your paper
for many years. I read with in
terest the comment and letters
"To the Editor." Recently a num
ber of articles signed by Wade
Crawford and spouse have ap
peared. These I read first with
amusement then with boredom
and, lastly, with disgust.
So far, my personal opinions
I have kept to myself, but the
letter in Friday's paper was so
unjust that I take the pleasure of
writing to explain to anyone in
tested' just why the Crawfords
feel such envy, jealousy, and
bitterness toward our superin
tendent, B. J. Courtright
A number of years ago we be
stowed upon Wade Crawford the
highest honor and position any
one could hold on the reserva
tion, that of superintendent. We
had faith, and confidence that
one of our own people would do
everything in his power to be of
greatest benefit to the reserva
tion. Instead of being the bene
factor he seemed to leave noth
ing undone that meant a profit
to Wade Crawford and Com
pany. We found it necessary to sign
a petition to have him ousted
from the office of superinten
dent. No superintendent could
ever hold a candle to the Indian
superintendent, Wade Crawford,
who gave no consideration or
courtesy to those who refused to
bow to him under his reign as
dictator.
We have had more than
enough of the Crawfords as their
uselessness and greed have been
shown at the general councils in
the past eight years.
No names were mentioned by
our present superintendent
whom we respect and admire,
but the cloak seemed to fit the
Crawfords and they see fit to
wear it.
We have given a vote of confi
dence to Superintendent Court
right for his never falling cour
age, help and understanding in
the f a c e of all the difficulties
presented to him.
As for the Indians being on re
lief, haven't they always been on
relief? At least the Indians have
the necessities of life and that is
more than some bad under the
supervision of Crawford.
Speaking of the loan board,
what is the purpose of a loan
board u it is not to lend even
the Crawfords have borrowed
when they could show an inten
tion of repaying. '
I have attended every meeting
and election that I possibly could
and have never in any way had

Mr. Courtright has no political
ambitions, he la not running for
office, but he has a job and does
it. ir he gives a careful a walcn
to the elections and ballot boxes
as Crawford says, it only proves
the necessity of safeguarding the
polls from dishonesty.
Some people after eight years
of trying to force themselves in
to offices of responsibility would
realize that they are not wanted.

nally greed Impelled It to over
reach itself in an effort to must
er and enslave not only Its neigh
bors but to conquer great coun
tries of the western world. We
have realized, of course, that
Japan has suffered complete de
feat, but we are so close to this
epochal event that It Is difficult
to sense its true Immensity.
Nippon has been utterly
smashed. Not only that but the
has been deprived of her Ill-got
gains and thrust back Into her
tiny Island kingdom. She now
lacks the resources to recover
anything approuchlng her for
mer position. She has been flunc
into the oblivion from which she
emerged, almost within the
memory of living man.
Vacuum In Orient
Now that's a (net of trcmon
dous Import. It means that a
vacuum has been created in the
Orient, with the dlsuppenrunce
ot this dominant power. It Is In
the nature of things that some.
thing must rush. in to fill that
vacuum. That Is, some other peo
ple will in due course take it
place. What will It be?
Ho would Indeed be gifted
with rare vision who could see
that now. However, the proba
bilities are that for a consider
able period the influenco of the
Big Ihree America, Russia and
Britain will control the situa
tion, pending the emergence of
the new Asiatic power. China is
a logical successor, but it will be
long before she could assume the
crown, for she is terribly weak
in all categories excepting one
the magnificent spirit which en
abled her to hang on in face of
the Jap onslaught.
China Ultimate Successor
So China Is a logical ultimale
successor to the throne, but be
fore we accept this as a finality
we should stop and asK ourselves
whether there is any other Asi
atic power which might Inter
vene. And we shouldn't let that
term "Asiatic" restrict our vis
ion, for there's one great power
which we have come to regard
as European but which also is
Asiatic.
Sure, that's Russia. The soviet
union is extending its influenco
methodically In the Asiatic
sphere. Japan's defeat is render
ing this far easier.
This is no time for prophesy
as to what will come out of the
Oriental melting-pot, but we
shall indeed be short-sighted if
we don't recognize that Russia
may be. the power which will
rush into the vacuum created by
Japan's elimination. I wouldn't
bet a plugged penny against a
dollar that this wouldn't happen.
As for Nippon, while she has
had to surrender her might, she
still can achieve a useful and
happy life. As MacArthur says,
the Japanese "have for the first
time seen the free man's may of
life in actual action, and it has
stunned them Into new thought
and new ideas. A revolution or
more properly speaking, the evo
lution which will restore the
dignity and freedom of the com
mon man has begun."
