'OUR HERALD AND NEWS FRANK JENKINS Editor Member, Associated Press Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY SOMETIMES, Klamath Falls is classified as in "Southern Oregon" and sometimes in "East- rn Oregon." That s because it trn part of the state, but east if the Cascades which make mch a marked difference in rlimate and flora. Today, let's say we're in eastern Oregon, in view of the following comment which ap pears in Charley Stanton's column in the Roseburg News Review. Mr. Stanton, in urg ing the Southern Pacific to give the Shasta line adequate MnBoAnnnr cnr'ino hns this to ay: "Peculiarly, Southern Oregon . . . will be one of the areas least affected by air travel, offering E special opportunity for rail business. Blanket ed by fog during the greater part of the winter, the mountainous area is not suitable for regu larly scheduled flight service as is eastern Oregon, where planes have little difficulty in negotiating flights on a year-around basis." Thanks, Charley. We hope you get your train service, and if you don't mind, we would like to use your testimony in behalf of ade quate air service for this section of the state. Two Sides, Always SOME time ago the papers carried several stories about the Indifferent attitude of people who came here ostensibly to work in the potatoes, and we commented here on the subject Since then, we have received an anonymous letter approaching the story from the side of the transient worker. Its lack of signature dis qualifies it for publication, but to be fair we will summarize it briefly here. It charges that living standards provided transient workers on the farms here are generally very low, with no place to sleep but in a barn or iire-irap cabin, no laundry or bathing facilities, etc. Our impressions of the centralized transient workers camps are that they offer much more than this letter Indicates. No doubt such con ditions exist on some farms, and they are -deplorable, while on others more adequate ar rangements for workers have been established. The general program in this area has been to provide quarters in the transient camps, and to pay wages that are certainly among the highest for agricultural work in the United States. The nomadic life of the transient worker is not all roses, but many like it and follow it by choice. Transient workers are highly Important to agricultural areas such as ours, where there is a seasonal peak demand for labor. In general, that fact is recognized by growers who, through their associations or In dividually, have done a great deal in recent years to make the area more attractive to this type of labor. It is also fact that one pretty well de termines his' own living standards. Having done a tour of duty as a harvest hand, we have made some personal observations on that point. Usually, the person who likes neatness and cleanliness can accomplish that for himself in almost any surroundings. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 General Mae Arthur's address of final victory sounded to the uninitiated public as if he was merely talking abstract strategy -a necessary new strategy of complete integration of army, navy and air force. He said this was the lesson he learned from the war as well as Yamashita who attributed his part of Jap defeat to lack of land, sea and air coordination. This address was actually a verbal rocket BROWNING, Mont., Oct 18 (P) American Indians want "a bill of rights." The National Council of Amer. lean Indians plans to inaugurate "a campaign to remove all racial discrimination," when it con venes for its second annual con vention at this northwestern Montana Blackfeet reservation agency October 22-25.

IB, 1943 bomb, a directed missile, which hit Washington in what might be called a strategic if invisible spot. The Joint chiefs of staff held an unre ported secret meeting a week earlier (October 9) and failed to do anything about creating just such a combination of our forces into a single department. Since last April they have been doing the same thing about it nothing. They have not let it reach the public eye or ear, but suppress ed the report recommending it so thoroughly that not even the president, to whom it was destined, had then received it. e Rhetorical Rocket THERE were smiles among the knowing at MacArthur's courage in coming straight out for his beliefs to the top men of army and navy, for they knew very well what he was talking about if the public did not. The rhetori cal rocket therefore did not miss its mark. MacArthur's action reminded me of Billy Mitchell, the pioneer fighting airman, who told the public years In advance what this war would be like, and got courtmartlaled for it. The Mitchell program for air accentuation was successfully delayed by the old goatees because they caught him using fireworks and hot charges. MacArthur's method practically dripped honey. He did not mention any report or even the Joint chiefs of staff, but Just set out an apparently sincere statement of facts, for which a private could not even be courtmar tialed. The common story .going around the capitol is that the navy is responsible for the danger ous delay. (The delay Is dangerous because it will require many months to get the new integrated system in operation, and, therefore, efficient national defense is being postponed). But I cannot accept the story of navy responsi bility unless you consider Admiral King, the navy. He is on the joint chiefs of staff, and is known to be personally the leader of the opposition. ' Retired Admiral Dissented BUT you may recall my recent column ex posing the report that indicated Admirals Nimitz and Halsey favored the combination as well as MacArthur, who has now spoken out, and Eisenhower, slated shortly to be chief-of-staff in General Marshall's place. Indeed, a navy admiral signed the report. Only a retired -admiral dissented. Thus, as deeply as I have been able to pene trate the secrecy about this whole business, it is accurate only to say Admiral King, whose ' resignation recently was predicted in the news accounts without denial, and a retired admiral are against it for the navy. Unquestionably, a number of navy men do believe their appropriations from congress will be cut when they lose their independent status and must work on congress through a single department head. I guess this is apt to prove true. But for any branch of the service to put appropriations above national defense, a plan of national defense considered necessary by a clear majority of the fighting leaders, would make them subject to courtmartial if I was running their service. Sound Objections Mentioned iOME sound objections have been mentioned single department plan as pre sented by the committee of army -ana navy leaders who went around the world and spent months at their task of preparing details of the new arrangement. But these are technical ob jections, as to whether this small bureau of the army should best be combined with that bureau, where to leave this subdivision of one service or that one. Indeed, I personally believe the plan is faulty in at least one detail, which places entirely too much work upon the proposed ' first assistant secretary of the combined armed services. I do not thinly one man could handle all the work assigned. But to defeat the integration program for such reasons is to stumble over blades of grass and butt your head into trees. The details can be worked out. My little bonfire under the Joint chiefs of staff did not even wake them up. I wonder if the MacArthur missile will. Contract Awarded For Paving Project SALEM, Oct. 18 (P) Con tract for $22,000 worth of paving at the state fairgrounds was awarded yesterday to Warren Northwest, Inc., by Leo Spitz- Dart, state fair manager. Other contracts will be award ed later, the federal government having paid the state $36,000 to repair damage done by the army. The fairgrounds were headquarters for troops guard ing the Oregon coast against en emy attack. Hunters Cause $1000 Damage To Livestock MEDFORD, Oct 18 OP) Farmer Verne Brophy said today nunters nave caused nearly $1, 000 damage to livestock. One steer was killed, another's leg broken and a herd of cattle ready for shipment to market was chased, causing them to lose weight, he said.

"You're always telling me you never mention The World Today By J. M. ROBERTS JR. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst As it becomes increasingly evident that the "secret" of the atomic bomb lies principally in the ability to construct plants for its produc tion, talk of what to do about it turns more and more on some meth od to prevent man from poi soning himself with the fruit of his own la bors. The Dublin, N. H., pro nouncement bv Mackenzie a group interested in world peace, that a federation of the world is the only answer, is a natural reaction. It is as though they said that man, driven by this new fear, must now decide to do at once what he has known for ages that he must do in the end. Alfred Tennyson, who pre dicted almost 100 years ago that, after the world's "airy navies had "rain'd a ghastly dev?." there would be accomplished a fedora tion of the world, was not the first to express this dream. It has been repeated so often as to become almost a truism. But it usually is considered something lor tne ultimate ratner than the present. uuniin Meetino The Dublin meeting presented an example itself, in a way, when Justice Owen Roberts and some of its other leaders felt un able to agree with the majority in its willingness to scrap the United Nations organization. The minority preferred to take the thing step by step, with an ini tial union of the United States with other nations which already nave adopted liberty tor Individ uals. That apparently would mean. so far as major powers are con cerned, Britain and the United States, and would be mere for malization of a union which al ready exists in practice. ine inevitable result of such a step now would be a return to prewar attitudes by Russia, who felt herself forced into a pact with Germany when she decid ed, rightly or wrongly, that France and England were en couraging Hitler to move east instead of west. Russia's ide ological war with capitalism is stiu a very real internal issue, regardless of how fuzzy the lines between her own system and capitalism have become. She has lone felt herself surrounded. and her almost certain reaction to any greater formalization of the present Anglo - American alignment would be to back up, arop cooperation, pernaps Hop ing for the best but preparing herself for any possible un friendly manifestation. Nations Could Not Agree If the nations could not agree at San Francisco to give all na tions an equal position before an international control body, there is no indication that anything SATURDAY I 9:00 until 1:00 I3F)U)V5 0TO fr Make a Date ' For Saturday!

' If the atomic bomb were a se cret which could be kept there would be the possibility of an Anglo-American "peace ultima tum" under which punishment for starting a war, or for one na tion establishing hegemony over another through military might, would be swift and certain. .But with the situation as it actually exists, the UNO charter, with its hopes for revision, plus some specific agreements on atomic power, seem about the best prac tical hope.
