Aeeoculael Preao Member Audit Bureau GrculaUoa Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY SEVERAL writing people who have visited Klamath Falls recently have been im pelled, upon arrival home, to say something about the town in their respective publications. We have mentioned the comments of Tod Powell 01 the Chronicle, and William Moves and Jim McCool, of the Oregonian, in a pre vious column. This time, we have a pleasant and stimulating piece called "The Falls Has Something" from a neighbor Moore Hamilton of the Medford News. Here it is: Klamath Falls doesn't, this year, hare a football team that can beat opponents 50-0, although sometimes it has T.ry good teams, but Klamath Falls has something that the better football team towns and cities can vary well envy. You can't you know, make rery good breakfast on a football team. Klamath Falls has a lot of sip. in a business sense, that can come only in a city that 1 Is on the upgrade. You can see that and feel that by spending only a few hours there. It is something that is in the air. it is mani fest in the attitude of the Klamath Falls people you pass on the street, and it is ap parent in the shop windows and in the ' offices. In Klamath Falls you see the things you " ; ace in cities.. Just for example, people over there ride X busses. Klamath Falls has a city bus system, similar, perhaps, to the one attempting to operate here. But there are two differences. In the first place, people OTer there ride the bus. The busses are packed with shop '" pars, with show-goers. with workmen and with just people in general. The busses carry a large part of the transportation in Klamath Falls. And furthermore, the city of Klamath Falls has provided bus stops on the streets, where parking by individuals is not per mitted, thus giving the busses a place to drop and pick up passengers, without having to do it in the middle of the street and at congested intersections. A few years ago. it was generally under- . stood that Mediord's shops were far ahead of those in Klamath Falls, and that the ' Klamath Falls ladies took opportunity ' to come to Medford to do their shopping. : But from the looks of the store windows there now, Medford could learn a lot from Klam ath Falls in the line of modern stores and merchandising. Again we bring up the term "citified." Klamath Falls stores are keeping up. " The contrasts are not all one-sided, how ever, because the chance of getting a drink of water in Klamath Falls after dinner are slim. After walking the full length of the main drag twice looking for a sidewalk , drinking fountain, the writer had to go into the Walgreen Drug store and ask for a coke, which the girl said she didn't have because . they were all out of fizx water. So, putting on his best smile, the writer said to the girl, "Well, what I really want, dearie, is a drink of water. Do you suppose I could" have a ' nice big glass of it" ; Somehow astonished. ' we believe, that anyone should want to be drinking water that time of the evening. , she charmingly obliged us and returned her -; attention to a marine who was gulping a double-thick milk shake.' The trouble there is that Copco owns the ! water system in Klamath Falls and doesn't waste water. Over here the drinking foun tains run freely, . the year around. There , are, according to Les Wright, who was a visitor in Medford recently, a couple of drinking fountains, but., come winter they ' are shut off, lest they freeze. Klamath, Falls seems to have that delight ful combination of the frontier city and the metropolis, where the leading citizens are those who have started from scratch and have made their money, and figure on con- tinued expansions. They haven't yet reached ' the point where someone 'else made the , money they have, and they figure to "sit , tight and hang onto it," -: Medford has her good points, compared to ; Klamath Falls, make no. mistake about that .: but Klamath Falls, has some things we don't ; have. '- 'i;-' The things we have were given to us, : either by nature or by our forebears. Klam : ath Falls has made the things they have. That seems to be the chief difference. Next time you're in town drop in and see us, Moore. We'll see that you get a drink of water. v' ; WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 My grandfather Pomerene has just fl6wn to visit us for a few days. He has been telling us about our Cousin Nagon out west. We are an average large family, I suppose. Grandfather himself has lost some of his spryness in recent years, . and is plainly daxtled by the new world and its ' strangely developing events. Sometimes I wonder about him. He is accustomed to old ways and does not know what to do about the new ones. One minute he thinks he would like to 'follow a sort of personal socialism and turn his little business over to the state, but he never does it. He just thinks the state should have other peoples' business. Above all he is a rather interesting person. He was raised in the rigid traditions of hi official church and he wants to follow its ethics of right, and he has all the traditional background of schoolties, a little frayed where you tie it perhaps, still dignified but no longer "reserved." He has all this tradition of what is right in his mind, but he is frightened about following It firmly. He wonders if it fits the sew world. He is confused. So he is always developing new ideas on the sole ground that if they are new they must be good and must be tried. He really does not know what to do, , Soul Of Honor HE came to see us this time for the pur pose of borrowing a little money to tide him over. I used to think Grandfather Pom erene was the very soul of honor, the walking human picture of what it should be, We have often loaned him money and forgotten about it. But this time he was different . You could see it. He was asking for more than he needed for any specific purpose. He wanted it this time at his own terms. He was rather firm about this. But the most remarkable thing about him this time was his changed attitude toward our Cousin Nagon. Cousin Nagon is a study in inner human conflicts. He is at times human and pleasant, until the subject of politics is mentioned. The difference between him and Grandpa Pomerene is he always knows what he wants to do even when it is apparently wrong. He is never in doubt on any political subject. He believes he has the answers to everything, that everyone else Is always wrong, and he is not only willing to fight and die for these strange convictions, he is willing to have you die for them. You could never be sure of anything about him, except that he is always obsessed by politics. As I say this time Grandpa Pomerene came to us with the most amazing proposition that , we deliver to Cousin' Nagon the most prized and sacred possession of our family. I do not feel free to mention it, even to you. It is a secret He does not say what cousin will do with it No one possibly could. He just says cousin wants it, and if he cannot get it him self we should put it under a joint trust fund, because he thinks it would make cousin feel better. I know Nagon. Single Political Interest NOTHING ever made him feel better, except for a moment. Even as a child when he got the candy he was after; then he wanted the pony and so on. We all knew that if he had his way he would take the whole house, because even then he never had any doubts as to his real intentions, his single political interest to run everything his way. Only one conclusion about this whole affair Is reasonably, tenable. I think Grandpa Pom erene has come under the influence of that boy. Cousin is a schemer if there ever was one. If he does not get what he wants one way, he will try another. I think he put grandpa up to coming to see us. The use of influence in our family has always been amazing to me and my two brothers in the army and navy who have watched it change and grow. First our Uncle Sam had us in hand. We always thought he had more sense than any of us. Then Nagon, child though he was, by the very aggressiveness of his nature schemed us Into confusion, mainly by pointing out all our faults and dinning them into us day after day. We began to think for a few years we were all wrong; that there was no good in us. We were down to Nagon. That was when I started to study influence. If Nagon could . use his others of the family could use theirs. Since then I have made some amazing discoveries. Sufficient unto this day is one: I found the wielding of influence is a con tinuous never-ending struggle. It must be watched not only hour to hour but minute by minute, because so many people know its use. The victim is the unsuspecting one. ' I did not know what to tell Grandpa Pom erene who is so confused he does not easily understand these things. I decided to think it over for a while. Tfce World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Thursday. Nov. IS, 1141 HERALD AND NEWB FOUR Danger signals fly high over shattered Germany as winter closes in with its stark hunger and other privations which hold their threat of revolt.

John M. High' tower. AP diDlomatic news edi tor, also reports strong indica tions that President Truman and Secretary of State Byrnes are about ready to review the Amer ican administration in uermany Apropos of this critical situ ation l nave a leuer irom an old friend a trainer observer now in Germany. He writes largely of the all-important rela tionship between conquerors and conquered, and heres what he says in part: Strange Feeling "It is a strange feeling to move unarmed among the would-be conquerors of the world. A few months ago they would have at tacked you as an enemy. Now some look away, some are curious, many have a cold im personal look in their eyes partly wounded pride at defeat partly preoccupation with the pressing cares of food and fuel for the winter. "From many of the young ele ment you get a hard look be hind which seems to lurk a steely hatred, as though you had robbed them of their future. These fellows feel that we have knocked the bottom out of their lives and taken away the in spiration of a great 'cause' to live for without replacing it with a comparable challenge. To be toppled from would-be conquerors of the world to un employed citizens of a ruined, carved-up country is a big jolt for them. "The youth groups are natur ally the most indoctrinated with nazi ideas. Trouble is expected from them this winter. "Germany is paying a heavy price for her love of domina tion. Yet I doubt if her people have had sufficient education in fair play or in governing them selves. "Somewhere in the German soul there still lurks that tribal paganism of the forests. Her people are an easy prey to any ideology that lures them with appeals to their love of order, organization and forceful lead ership. It should be one of our top priority jobs to see that the right ideology, which can direct Germany's energies into con structive channels, gets to her people in time. "Hitler was never blind to the power of ideas. But we un derrate mental explosives. Tech nically brilliant and up-to-date in invention and production, we are medieval in our ideological weapons, in their development and in training our people to use them. "As a result we (the allies) are not making .the impression we snoma." STORM WARNING SAN FRANCISCO.
