Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLET
HIGHLY uncomplimentary remarks about
Klamath Falls' city Jail were made in the
courtroom in tne Beuvei inai.
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

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."

HONORING HASSY
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore-, (To
the Editor) Will you please
print this poem in Conor ol air.
John Hassy, injured by the tie-
up machine at the .wauna Box
factory, November 3.
He is improving at the Klam
ath Valley hospital.
DYNAMITE
He Is the pride of Ewauna,
Always smiling, doesn't fuss.
And he's so dog-goned good-natured
You can't help, but like the cuss.
He's the guy you always go to
When you want truck spotted
right.
Do you know of whom I'm talk
ing? Why an old pal. Dynamite.
Down the isle with loaded dolly
And the darndest crash is heard.
You can tell by all the howlin'.
That they are handing him the
bird.
But he just comes up a smiling,
And a guy like that is right
So let's do a little cheering
ror our old pal, Dynamite. ,
It wasn't very lone ago. I
This euy was full of vim.
And the best of high ball cutters
Couldn't stay in the dust o' him.
Now everything Is changed
around.
And our hero's sitting tight
When the brains was passed
Was he behind the door?
Not our friend. Dynamite.
Now when we all head for "the
big factory.
In the land that we can't see.
Some will be sent below with
shovels.
Guys like Shimon, Smith and
me.
But we'll look up in the heavens.
And in that bright celestial light
At a harp just softly twangin.
will be our old mend, Dyna
mite.

TODGH!
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore.. (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.

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
