Published every afternoon except Sunday at Espla nade and Pine etreela, Klamath Falls, Oregon, by the Herald Publishing Co. and the News Publishing Company. Entered as aecond elaaa matter at the poetofflee of Klamath Faus, Ore., oa August 10. 1906. under act of congreae, March 8, 1S70 Member, Associated Praaa Member Audit Bureau Circulation 'g!Wrawillia EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY WHEN a school bus slid from a highway and carried IS children to their deaths In Lake Chelan, Wash., last week, many a parent and school official must have given a serious thought to the danger points on school bus routes in their areas. One such place, which came forcibly to our attention this week, is on the section of U. S. highway No. 395, between Lakevlew and Alturas. There a school bus, carrying 52 chil dren, travels back and forth dally over a narrow stretch of road high on the side of Sugar Loaf mountain a place where a skid, or a mechanical failure, or a slight mistake on the part of the driver could send the bus plunging down a precipitous mountainside. People in Lakeview and Alturas and on' the road between them have made the relocation and improvement of the route a prime ob jective of the two communities; The Lake Chelan incident dramatizes one of their strong est arguments for this project. ' He Wouldn't Do It - IN a lot of knocking about in ' this region, we never before this week had occasion to travel the whole route from Lakeview to Alturas. The route came in for considerable discussion at a Klamath-Lakeview-Alturas cham ber of commerce meeting in Lakeview Monday night, and the next day, we had first-hand ex perience with it. In Alturas, we heard further discussion of "the school bus use of the road for carrying children from Willow Creek to Alturas and back each school day of the year. W. M. Sloss, Texas distributor in Alturas, has driven trucks over this road for 18 years. He declared he wouldn't take the responsibil ity of hauling those kids over that road for $100 a day. "Livestock" Safety THE Lakeview-Alturas road isn't a direct traf fic feeder for Klamath Falls. But it's a part of the network of roads serving the com munities of our area, and we feel that anything that can be done here to help bring about im provement of that route is well worth while, and is part of our job as the biggest member of this family of neighborly communities. ;1)r. E. F. Auble, Modoc county supervisor, has a letter from the California highway depart ment stating that funds have been set aside for reconnaisance surveys for the relocation and reconstruction of the route in question. This Is a favorable development, and is indicative of increasing , interest in the problem on the part of the California highway authorities. In Washington, an appropriation ' for the route has been asked, and the reason' given for the request was that it is now impossible to ship cattle over the route. The Modoc County Record was quick to sense the ludicrousness of this argument in compari son with the school bus situation. Every day, the Record points out, a bus load of "livestock" goes over the road, but official interest was lacking until the necks of a few prime steers were found to be In jeopardy. Port. Of Reno Road AS we have noted, the Lakeview-Alturas stretch of No. 393 isn't on a direct route to Klamath Falls, but south of Alturas, No. S59 does assume direct Importance to this city. ' The Klamath road to Reno becomes No. 395 from Alturas south. There is need for con struction on this part of the road, as well as that between Lakeview and Alturas. 1 It is to Klamath's interest, directly and in directly, to see construction go ahead wherever it is needed on No. 395 in California. And it is also a matter of general public interest.. By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 The labor-management conference broke down completely. A few hours before the final insipid report was made to President Truman, the White House had been informed there was a good chance of agreement in favor of fact finding. The conferees were then seeking a report favoring the establishment of just what Mr. Truman later recommended to congress the establishment of an investigating committee to determine the facts in big national wage disputes. But labor balked at this. The proposal for such a settlement had come, in the beginning, from the side of management and by the final hours the conferees had reached what seemed to White House observers as a stage of childish petulance. The mere fact that management had pro posed Die idea was enough to defeat it in the eyes of labor. In substance, however, it repre sented the mildest possible escape for labor from the predicament of unpopular strikes and the threat of real labor reform legislation from congress. It was a fur-lined way out for CIO - and AFL, but they did not take it, and, indeed, conducted some sham show of resistance when Mr. Truman offered the same proposition. If you think this is silly, the inner dallyings of the conference were actually much worse. Alone, CIO President Phil Murray offered a last-plan resolution, merely stating that the con ference was in favor of wage increases. Not even management could oppose such a proposi tion, as an increase of 10 per cent already had been offered far, far back, only to be de clined by labor then. e e Murray Resolution THE Murray resolution did not even mention 10 per cent, but merely said "wage in crease." Smite me if you will, so help me, AFL President William Green voted against the resolution and caused its defeat. When asked by Murray why AFL was voting against the wage increase resolution, Mr. Green responded that the .time was wrong for such a proposition. There may have been some reasonable sub stance to what Mr. Green contended, but the residue point was nevertheless clear, namely not even AFL and CIO could agree on any thing. As far as management was concerned, it could see arising in congress out of public distaste for the strikes against public convenience, the var ious legislative proposals to require labor to assume a legal responsibility commensurate with its new national political power. If matters were drifting that way, management naturally may also have resisted agreement. But the salient fact behind the whole col lapse was the knowledge on both sides that this is the crisis. The White House apparently is playing for a wage settlement providing a 15 to 20 per cent increase. Labor has demanded 30 per cent, which, its leaders do not really expect to get. Management has offered 10 per cent, which labor has refused. Therefore, 15 or 20 per cent is the logical medium. . a - Arithmetical Compromise k MY very definite information suggests that the arithmetical compromise is what is behind Mr. Truman's proposal for a fact-finding commission. In short, he expects the investiga tion to work toward that conclusion, and is privately working that way himself. This, of course, would settle nothing but only alleviate the immediate pressing condition. The unions could very well strike next year for another 15, 30, 50 or 100 per cent and the year following for that is their purpose. The essence of the trouble is far beyond arithmetic. What remains to be settled and -must be settled, is the place of the unions, in the national economy. If they can direct our economics by wage demand and compromise settlements continuously over the period of coming years they will control the national economy. They will fix prices as well as wages and thus even control profits. An arithmetical compromise would leave their power to-do so full and unimpaired. A settlement by which they would be made re sponsible for strikes or power misuse would relegate them to unpolitical unionism, the old position they formerly occupied before coming into sweeping, rich and ruthless political action. What the situation needs is plain some au thority to take both sides by the neck and point a finger, directing their excited gazes to what is just and reasonable. The authority must deprive both sides of their power and act in the public interest. That time is coming.

(To the Editor) I had the misfor- . tune to witness an act of in human treatment to a poor soul who was being arrested as a drunk. I would judge 50 or 75 people saw this act take place in iront of the "Klamath Billiards. To all appearances the arrest-J td man was Indian. As I came on the scene the Indian, if he was such, was on nis Knees from too much liquor. and from a smash in the face by the evidence of blood. I tier- sonally saw the arresting officer pick this poor soul up, and smash . this party two brutal blows. Does this kind of arrest warrant an officer to strike a person when he, the arrested party, is not even capable of standing? I sincerely believe in law enforcement, but this act of inhuman treatment I do not understand. - 1 In the day of judgment all must give account unto God for the things done in the body, as we read 2nd Cor. 5:10. For we must all appear before the judg ment seat of Christ; that every one may receive me wings done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether It be good or bad. Who in this act of Inhuman treatment, and the derelict toss ed upon the sea of circum stances is GUILTY? T. H. RICHARDSON. Charles Nabakowski Reported Missing Charles A.

Classified Ads Bring Results. ,Tfce World Today By Dewirr Mackenzie AP Foreign Affairs Analyst LONDON, Dec. B Britnln's now labor government has tackled John Bull's aroatcst imperial proDiom iiuiinn 111 aopeiKienco . with a flying wedge which looks as though it might go places. Not only has the promise of self, govern ment for India m w uuiure pur- llnmcnt, but the mother country has MseKENZIE lvon its word that the vast In la sub-continent will bo allow ed to cut looso entirely i( it wants to. Herbert Morrison, leader of me moor majority In the house of commons, has murio the cate gorical declaration that Britain will not impose any restrictions on the power of India to decide her future. This was In response to the blunt question whether India would be permitted to wnnaraw irom me uruisn com monwealth if her leaders so desired. However, said Morri son, "it is- naturally our hope that India will remain of her own free will In the British commonwealth." Indian Constitution All this was straight from tho shoulder and unequivocal. But tho lnborltes didn t stop with words. They announced that a non-partisan parliamentary com. mlttee will proceed to India Im mediately to make Independent observations and report back to the government. This would be In preparation for the for mation of an assembly to framo an Indian constitution next spring after the provincial elec tions have paved the wny. Lest there be any misunder- stondliiR, however, tho iiovcrn- ment at the sumo time announced that it will resist "any attempts to resolve the constitutional tis sue by force." ' This moy havo been inspired by the remark made last week by the Indian Leader (Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru), that if Brit ain didn't take tho initiative for Indies Independence, "other people" mlcht do so. Noxt to Mohandas Gandhi, Nehru is the most powerful person In all In dia, and his words aren't passed lightly.
