EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY (Who Is No Volcanologlit) WILL pictures of Crater lake at some future date show a second island jutting up through the blue water, as does Witard island. in the laminar current photo graphs of Klamath county's world-famous scenic attrac tion? There is just a bare chance that the strange occurrences that have been reported re cently from Crater lake may be evidences of activity that will construct another cone such as that which is unique Wizard island. It is a generally accepted theory that Wizard island was pushed up to its present size by volcanic activ ity subsequent to that which collapsed the top of Mt. Mazama and formed the caldera which partially filled with water and became Crater lake . It happened once, and there is some opinion among men familiar with the Volcanic history of Crater lake that it may be happening again. a a , . Muddy Water PARTICULARLY significant to this theory is the report by Just Trippett, Klamath Falls, who on a recent Sunday saw what he believed to be a mass ol material on the surface of the water of the lake. He described a huge shadow in the water in the shape of a crescent, with definitely "muddy" section at one tip. . Later, this material appeared to disintegrate. , That observation checks nicely with the sug gestion that there is volcanic activity in the bottom of the lake spewing up material 'that little by little will form a cone- that could con-, ceivably protrude above the water as does Wizard island. The strange clouds reportedly-, seen just above the water by a number of : persons in the past few weeks are considered as further evidence, but not so clearly ex plainable, of such activity. Crater lake park officials are considering the possibility of making soundings next season which may determine whether any changes are occurring in the floor of the mysterious lake. The character of the lake floor is now well established by soundings, and careful investiga tions should show whether anything unusual is happening down there. Fascinating THIS is all tremendously fascinating. We confess that the first reports of un , usual clouds of gas, steam, or dust over the lake water left us skeptical, and it is entirely possible that what has been seen is of no great significance. On the other hand, there have been repeated' observations of similar phe nomena by responsible people, and it does seem that something unusual is going on. Making allowances for the fact that sometimes when somebody sees and reports something unusual, others begin .to see .things too the false Jap balloon reports are a recent illustration it certainly appears that our famous Klamath county lake will bear watching for possible Interesting developments. ,. Another Report TODAY, for instance, we have a letter from Mrs. Pale Stoops, Box 431, Klamath Falls, adding to the bits of evidence that have been mounting in recent weeks. We'll top off this layman's discussion with Mrs. Stoops' letter, adding that we will' be most pleased to receive . further information of a similar nature. Here it is: To the Editor: Last month my husband and I visited my mother, Mrs. Grace Coski of 2931 Bristol Ave. While there we drove to Crater lake. That was on September 18. It was a beautiful day with no wind and not a cloud in the sky. We took the rim drive and. stopped at all the view points and looked at the lake. At about two-thirty or- three I was sure I saw a boat on the lake and asked my husband to stop the car. We had been watching the lake all the time and a few -seconds before there had been nothing on the lake. My hus band stopped the car immediately and we all got out and looked. What we saw was a funnel shaped cloud very close to the water. The cloud was snowy white and stayed for quite some time but gradually drifted away. We could very easily have taken a picture of it if we had had a camera, but we never gave it much thought. There were two planes flying over at the time and we thought maybe they dropped something that had caused it. My mother, younger sister and brother can all verify this letter as they saw it too, I don't know which vantage point Cloudcap is but we were on the east side looking toward Wizard island and I believe it must have been in the same spot that the ladies from Fort Klamath described. Sincerely, MRS. DALE STOOPS. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 The Moscow dis patches said Mr. Truman's declaration ot tho new American foreign policy heartened Moscow. But no heartening and no change was im mediately evident in Moscow's actions. The very same day the Russian delegation walked out of the United Nations food conference in Quebec, and in newspaper columns parallel to those reporting the heartening were stories of the communists unleashing their army ot a million men upon China in civil war. A break in the stalemated condition had been hopefully promised between the lines of some comment from the past few days since Am bassador Gromynko's visit brought Truman and Stalin into correspondence.. The grapevine here has been reporting Russia is loosening up, that Stalin went away for that month to think things over and decided the Russian tactics at London, which broke up the peace conference, should be moderated. Russia Coming In ENTHUSIASTS with large ears to very small spots of ground here have heard Russia is coming wholeheartedly into the world or ganization. These hopes have not reached print in any formidable way, but they are present behind the renewed negotiations. Simultaneously an old note has crqpt back into the dispatches from Moscow. A very fam ous writer for a large American newspaper lectured Americans, when he announced Mr, Truman had "heartened" the Russians. He said we must realize Stalin is suspicious of us. This note has been taken up by other com mentators, who say the whole problem now is whether this government can appease the sus picions, of Russia. When this note comes into any discussions, I go out This is the basis by which Russia 'never lost a point in dealing with Mr. Roosevelt. There are no valid grounds for Russian sus picions of any nation right now, and everyone realizes this, including Stalin. The thought of attacking Russia does not exist anywhere in the American mind. A fear of Russia is pres ent in this country, but it is not an offensive fear (in the military or diplomatic meaning of offensive). We all know this. So when they start that old stuff and non sense, it can only suggest propaganda is being laid for appeasement again. Consequently gen uine hopes for sound settlement may not prove justified even if one is announced. a a Russian Walkout THE Russian walkout from Quebec, for-Instance, was predicated upon something more tangible and obvious than illfounded suspicions. This was a conference of the na tions to promote food, production throughout the world and make people eat more of It an ideal which should be right down the Rus sian alley if she needs the' help from us she has been requesting. Her delegates to that con ference demanded representation there for an extraneous organization which has nothing to do with food--the world trade unions federa tion. This WTUF is the international labor organi zation which our CIO's Hillman bit on, with results similar to the mastication of a green persimmon. He went to Paris for its conven tion a few weeks back only to find the Russians in charge of the convention bringing in a re port allowing them voting strength for 27. 000,000 union workers, while Hillman and the British were allowed a small fraction. - The British could not accept such a swallow ing of the international interests of their unions. A compromise was worked out, which gave the Russians only about 80 per cent domination of WTUF instead of 80 per cent. The reds even got representation for unions in Romania (which they occupy) although the British laborite Sir Walter Citrine publicly said he had never heard of a union in Romania. Russia also showed control for French and Mexican labor. Excuse For Withdrawal NATURALLY the' food conference could not incongruously seat these people, as the Russians well knew. The raising of such an issue could only have been an excuse for with drawal. ' , Similarly before the ink was dry on the' Asiatic peace treaties by which the Russians agreed to withdraw frpm Asia and keep their Chinese communists quiet, the commies started a civil war. Not only this, but Moscow reared and demanded ouster of Gen. MacArthur and a joint hand in administering Japan. She had been in that war 25 days (which, incidentally she entered in violation of her treaty with Japan). On the plain face of events, there seems good ground for suspicions but can these be cleared by appeasement? It is singularly clear that they must be dispelled by actions from Moscow, restoring valid basis for confidence. Lady Eagles Ladies of the .

To clear the file, we are run ning today excerpts Trom two letters received this week, and will ask that letters hereafter concerning these matters be con fined to principles and Issues, rather than personalities: CHILOQUIN, Ore. (To the Editor) Several articles have appeared in your "Telling the Editor" columns tolling of some of the things David Wade Craw ford did in the past, especially when D. W, Crawford was su perintendent here et Klamath Agency, Ore., and what he is doing now: the sacrifice he is making In time and money; that Crawford is the long-looked-for Mesiah of the Klamath Indians, but they omitted some of the most important parts of what D. W. Crawford did. Moreover, I am informed that D. W. Craw ford wrote the article that San dy Miller signed, which I strong ly believe because ot the fact that Sandy Miller is only about 20 years old' now, and was in knee pants about the time D. W. Crawford was superintendent here. With regard to Dibbon Cook's article, I am sure he cannot be sincere in what he says but is ill-edvised and ignorant of the facts surrounding the activities that have characterlied Craw ford's activities in the past and which are too numerous to state in one publication. If it is the purpose to show wnat Crawford did, let's show all, so that the Klamath Indians will all know about it, especially tho younger pcoplo whom Crawford is tell ing what he did when ho was superintendent, as the older ones know. Here are some of tho facts: David Wade Crawford was a dclcgato of the Klamath Indians when he got himself appointed superintendent and took over the job in 1833. (3) Ho was op posed to the Indluns having u voice In tho timber sales, saying that the Klamath Indians were not Intelligent enouHh. (3) That 80 per cent of tho Klamath In dians wore Infected with venere al disease, (4) Ho could not trust t h a Klamuth Indians with money so he gave them pur chase orders, most of thorn on Glcnger's store in Chlloquln. (S) In 1834 he wanted the In dians to a a o e p t the Wheeler Howard bill which the Indians rejected by a vote of 7 to 1, (8) Crawford tied up tho children's funds to spite some of the In dians he did not like, which was a source of continuous trouble to Crawford's administration and which he is trying to undo now, (7) Crawford was dismissed with prejudice April 28, 1837, He went to Washington, D, C, to get the prejudice removed, but failed. Crawford failed as superintendent. Very respectfully, CLAYTON KIRK. KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) Pleased to know that one of such tender years as Sandy Miller Is so well versed In Indian affairs. You were about 8 years old whon the Hon orable Wade Crawford first filaced his feet upon the super ntendent's desk and smoked his first good cigar. Whon ho was ousted four years later, you were about 12 Now between 18 or 20, you know all the an swers. For your own sake. If politi cally inclined, or with ambitions or Decoming a great tiocxmun, study under a different tutor than Crawford. It will pay in the long run. Now, in answer to Crawford's defense letter of October 23, was not aware he needed defending YET! His personal attack was on Superintendent Courtrlght, From tho Klnmnth Republican October it, 1B06 The Knights of Pythias spon sored the first excursion on the steamer Klamath. A crowd of nearly 100 enjoyed tho trip down tha river Sunday. Tho city council has grown tired of having streets blocked with wagons, boxes and rubbish, and the low n marshal Is notify ing people to clean up. William Wilson was1 arrested with 12 sacks of ducks which he was taking to Laird's luudlng for shipment to San Francisco, From in Evening Herald October 31, 1834 Snow started falling again here early this morning, and highway clearing equipment wus culled out. Congressman Walter Pierce to day warned Klamath democrats that a determined fight will be made to oust Franklin D. Roose velt In 1038, and ho urged they get behind the presldont with every ounce of strength. who sits quietly at councils, hears taunts, Insults and accusa tions aimed at him by the Craw fords, envious because there is no loophole whereby they can squcezo- into somo office, how ever small, The remarks about "Indian bureau Indians," and making monkeys of nurnelvos, because we are not Crawford pawns, Is just plain silly, Sandy Miller's mother also signed the petition ousting Crawford. The long-ranga spending pro gram referred to, has not been voted on as yet. we can accept or reject It as we see fit. Yours truly, Dorothea (Hamilton) McAnulty.

What G-E people are making is shown, in part, by the list below. This list of things you and your family have wanted for many months shows the progress General Electric has made in swinging back to its regular job of making 'More Goods for More People at Less Cost." General Electric Company, Schenectady, New York. Alarm Clocks. In January, 1944, WFB okayed mak ing some electric alarm docks. Within seven weeks, G. E. was in production. Turbine. Full schedule peacetime production of steam turbines, source of two-thirds of the nation's electric power and tbe driving power for most of our fighting and merchant fleets, is expected to be reached by December. Irons. In June,; 1944, came authorization to make electric irons. In three months, G Jl. was shipping irons. Today's rate is higher than 1941; Motors. Ten million were built for war many of special types and sizes. Now G-E lines are being quickly converted to production of standard types for washing machines, refrigerators, etc Refrigerators. After getting green light from WFB in June, 1945, G.E. was in production in eight weeks. Transformers. Upwards of 70 imall transformers were required for a single B-29 Superfortress. Now G-E facilities are turning them out again to help make elec tricity more useful to you. Washers. Ten weeks from WPB go-ahead, G-E washer line started rolling in Bridgeport on August 24, 1945. Already they're being turned out at 47 per cent of G.E.'s prewar rate. Street Lights and Flood Lights. Facilities that turned out mobile anti-aircraft searchlights for tbe Army, and thouwwida of signaling searchlights for the Navy, are now producing flood lights for sporto and industry, and street lights to reduce the nation's night trafllotoU. wm Radios. G-E radios will be back on the market fbr Christmas. Table model will be in dealers' stores in November. By Christmas, 12 models should be In stores, including AC-DC battery portables, radio phonograph console. Television and KM will go into production after the first of the year. Horn Construction Materials. Wirt, cable, fluor escent lampholders, etc., formerly for Army and Navy use, are now in production for your new home. Ranges. Manufacture began on the first G-E electric ranges September 9, 1945. Three day later th first shipment was made. Plastics Production. The plastics facilities of Goners! Electric, largest manufacturer of finished plastic prod- ' nets in the country, have been turned to molding camera, clock and refrigerator porta, toaster and coffee maker bandies, caster wheels and wiring dovioes, radio cabinets, fluorescent boson, coemotio Jars and covora, industrial and decorative laminated materials, lighting reflectors and shades. . Water Coolers. Production at G.E. will equal pre war rate in Novombor. Automatic Heating. G.E. in January will havo oD flred boilers, conversion oil humors, gas-fired boilers, gas-fired warm air conditioners, all coming off the lines where radar, gunfire and 'aviation equipment was produced. Farm Freezers. Will be ready in 1947. Air Conditioners. One model of room nlr conditioner will be ready in limited numbers for your noxi summor's needs. First "store cooler" was shipped the day after V-J Day. More dally. Radar. The G-E Electronic Navigator, to mnko ship navigation safer in fog and dark, and to speed shipping schedules, has been tested by many months of actual operation and will soon be available Exposure Meters. The now G-E exposure motor for amateur and professional photographora is in produc tion. Present rato is several thousand a week. Lamps. During the war, the Lamp Dopartmont did th double task of supplying both military and civilian needs.
