Attorneys Intimated that it life and limb to be put In the Klamath hoosegow for 30 days. The women's cell was described as "small and filthy" and frequently over-crowded. We've toured the Jail many times (as a visitor) and will agree generally with what was said. The Klamath Falls jail is a good place to stay out of. County grand juries, report ing in the same courtroom in which the jail was discussed yesterday, have been denounc- threat to u a EPLET ing it for years as insanitary and a disgrace. City-County Jail THE public here, however, can now take some satisfaction in the fact that something con-str-cUve is being done about the jail situation in Klamath Falls. The conditions that have been publicly criticized for many years will not last much longer. Plans are well matured for a city-county JaiL If they proceed on schedule, this new institution will be constructed next year, and the old dungeon in the basement of the city hall will then be abandoned. The finnTi-ing arrangements are complete. The county has agreed to put up two-thirds of the cost. At the last election, voters of Klamath Falls authorized the city to put up its one third. The total amount is approximately $150,000 which, unless building costs are ex orbitant, should provide an adequate structure. Preliminary plans for the building have been made by Sheldon Brumbaugh, the architect retained by the city-county jail committee. A part of the property for the site, at Third and Klamath, has been acquired, and the committee hopes to obtain the rest of it about the first of the year. The present plan is to get con struction underway next spring. Klamath's city-county jail will not only elim inate the often-denounced city ball jaiL but it should eliminate certain duplications in law enforcement activity, facilitate coordination of the work of the city and county law enforce ment officers, and generally step up the ef ficiency of this phase of public service here. The Roads to Alturas, Lakeview AE have had occasion recently to travel W the highways that connect Klamath Falls with its lusty neighbors, Alturas and Lakeview, and it is pleasing to report that both of these routes are in excellent condition to carry the heavy postwar traffic that seems certain to flow over them. As one speeds over these smooth highways. It is easy to forget the years of hard civic effort that went into them. Both roads occupied rather unique positions with respect to the various state and federal road agencies, and it took a great deal of determined -work to win the recognition and the construction for them that was long justified by their actual and potential traffic volume. After it was surfaced, the Alturas road be tween Canby and Hatfield broke up badly and for a long time was nothing short of a night , mare to traveL There was a short rough stretch just south of Tulelake that was left unim proved for long after the rest of the job was done. All of this has now been mended, and one's speed over that route is limited only by the automobile he drives and his good sense. Lakeview highway traffic went far out ahead of construction for many years. Old-timers hereabouts will remember the dust stretch west '"of Beatty and the pot-holes on Quartz mountain as one-time travel horrors. ' A paved road now runs all the way. There Is still work to be done on these roads, of course, but they are now good highways and constitute a real tribute to the efforts of those people in Klamath, Modoc and lake counties who worked so long to make them that way. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 Senate Floor Leader Barklcy came out of the White House and announced the recess for which congress had been panting will be delayed until the very eve of Christmas if necessary to get through the two CIO bills Increasing un employment compensation and the full em ployment measure pledging the government an eternal but undefined spending policy. This is merely the latest development in Mr. Truman's battle with congress and an ex pression of his uncharacteristic firmness and insistence in a rather Roosevelt style upon the top two points of his program which are so unpopular in congress that they have been allowed to lie dormant without arousing a public clamor. At the same time Mr. Barkley announced the president would allow the youth draft act, officially known as -compulsory military train ing," and the army-navy unification bill to modernize the armed services into one force, to be permitted to go over until after the Christ mas holidays. Draft Plan Unpopular THE youth draft plan of the wax department is observedly unpopular by observedly I mean a considerable genuine public sentiment has been expressed against it in letters to con gressmen from unorganized individuals in their home districts as well as the most formidable array of organized groups yet presented this session against a measure educational, re ligious and even including CIO. The army-navy unification bill does not seem to be either popular or unpopular as far as 1 have been able to penetrate the normal sources of public opinion. My guess is the people do not understand it as it involves largely techni cal training problems, although most of the young people in both services with whom 1 have come in contact seem to be mill tan Uy in favor of it. Strange things began to happen to this pro posed modernization pre gram several weeks ago. You may recall when the George (lieuten ant general, head or air transport comnmuuj ft gnmuTpH in thi snot setting forth the modernization program which had been bottled by the shiniest ana Diggesi orass nais of the combined chiefs of staff of both services, I reported that Admirals Halsey and Nimitz, the fighting admirals, were in favor of it. cinn, thn hnth have indicated their inten tion to leave the navy and likewise have made jlihjv.11 their opposition, xou migni guess ou hand that I made a mistake. I did not. Both Nimitz and Halsey were for the mMnt rw. M infnTTTWvl th Clvfirfff Mmmit- tee when it was traveling around the world accumulating evidence from tne lighting men in the field. What happened to change their minds I do not know, but that they did, I do know. Pearl Harbor Investigation EQUALLY and similarly strange has been the lack of developments in investigating the responsibility for Pearl Harbor. The com mittee of inquiry planned at first to take a jaunt by air out to see Pearl Harbor, "although a half hour's trip to the navy department would have permitted them to inspect base relief as well as topographical surveys of the whole islands. What they could find otherwise at Pearl Harbor now that the sunken ships have been raised, I cannot learn. The committee investigation itself got in volved in what reporters call a political fight with the democrats obviously trying to hold back matters in one way or another, then loosening up a little here and there, and the republicans outraged but confused and unable to penetrate the administration tactics success fully. The sum total of it has been nothing an absolute nothing. This vacuumized condition can be rather plainly seen but my authoritative informants hereabouts have wondered if there were any connection between these events. In congress you hear aside whispers that what is factitiously called "top brass" meaning the invisible military authorities of both serv ices, have to a considerable extent, captured the Truman administration for precisely what they want namely no unification, youth draft act, and no Pearl Harbor expose. If so, what Mr. Truman will get out of it may be difficult to find. My information would not encourage him to believe that congress is so eager for a Christmas recess that it will ease under the pressure applied.

Will this offer be accepted? I think a good deal depends on how much suspicion or heart burning has been developed abroad since the first atomic bomb to be used in war was dropped on Hiroshima. That's only three months ago, but doubts are like mushrooms they grow fast Old Question Of course the proposal is di rected mainly towards Russia. It's the Old ' auectinn of Rier Three solidarity again. If Mos cow agrees, men we can feel assured that the world is rolling along the broad highway of last ing peace. For as the all-powerful Big Three go. so will go the rest of mankind as things now stand. This is so because, as so often said, the Big Three have the physical strength to enforce peace against all odds. There in its essence we have the real defense against the atomic giant the prevention of war. Presi dent Truman, and Prime Min ister Attlee and MacKenzie King recognized this principle in their statement when they point ed out that the only complete protection for civilization against the destructive use of scientific knowledge "lies in the preven tion of war."

(To the Editor) I received a clip- pine out ol your caper about one , who has just been snipped overseas. He was tell' ing how tough he's had it by living in tents without floors and how the people here on Levte run around one-third clothed. Well all I can say is its a damn shame he wasn't over I here a year before he was, then he would have something to bitch about 1 wonder how the good captain would like to j spend 68 days in a foxhole and most of the days it rained. 1 , must say there were times when ; we were glad to get into a tent : of any kind. And for the people ; we were on a couple islands I where there were Just a few j natives and they were supposed to be head hunters. I think we seen one white woman all the j time we were there. The first was Bougainville. You can notify that Red Cross commando that we sure as hell wouldn't look him up. (Signed) R. J. Christ ensen. FAMILY ROW KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) Have you ever thought of the trouble in Pales tine as a family row? Well the fathers of the Arabs and the Jewish races were half-brothers, for the Arabs are descendents of Ishmael. and the Jews are des cendents of Isaac, and both of those men were sons of Abra ham. Ishmael was older than Isaac by some 14 to IS years and in the patriarchal age the eldest son Became the chief heir, and head of the tribe, so the family of Ishmael probably feels that they are the rightful heirs and that the Jews are intruders. Sarah was Abraham's right ful wife and came from the land of Mesopotamia with him, and her son Isaac was not born until she was 80 years old, so before Isaac was born Abraham took Hagar an Egyptian woman for nis wile and Ishmael was born to her. Later at the request of Sarah. Hagar and Ishmael were sent away into the east country where they. nearly famished from thirst but an Angel showed Hagar a spring of water and their lives were saved and the Arabs claim that spring is the sacred well of Inecca. Ishmael was half Hebrew and half Egyptian and the most dis tinguished member of that race was Mohammed, and the great majority of the Arabs are fanatical followers of that prophet as they regard him. Other races descended from Abraham, as he had eight sons. There has been much specula, tion about the Jews going back to Palestine and becoming a na tion, but the attempt will cause much trouble and end in failure. Palestine was once a very rich country about the size of Klamath county, and supported Klamath's Yesterdays " . - " From Hi filel 7-40 eof p9 and 10 fftt aoo.
