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.

to the uninitiated public as if he was merely

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.

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.

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

what you said to the boss, but

can be done along that line im

was for a world government
ruled by the general assembly of
nations, instead of by a few

.cnarter, certainly suikcs at san
rranciscos greatest disappoint
ment. '
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.
