rRANK JENKINS MALCOLM EPLEV Editor Managing Editor a consolidation of the Evening Herald and the Klamath Haws. Published every afternoon except Sunday at Espla nade and l'lna streets. Klamath Falli, Oregon, by the Herald rublUhlng Co. and the News Pu binning Company. Member, Associated Prew Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY SERIOUSNESS of the refrigerator car short age in the Klamath potato districts has increased, if changed at all, since the matter was mentioned in this column few days ago, Chester Main of the Tule lake Growers called us today , to state that ' there are 200 carloads of seed potatoes in the Tulelake area alone that must move to the Shatter and Edison districts of California this month to reach there in time for the planting program. A proportionate need for snipping facilities exists throughout the basin potato area. The shortage has developed at a most un fortunate time. Klamath has produced and contracted for several hundreds carloads of seed . stock for planting in the early potato dis tricts of California, and this is the time these potatoes must move south. One estimate is ' that there are about 500 carloads of seed still to go to the California districts,- all of which should move within the next two or three weeks. At present rate of refrigerator car availability, they simply can't do it. Thirty-six refrigerator cars were distributed Saturday by the Southern Pacific ir this area 19 to Hatfield, Merrill and Stukel, and 17 to Tulelake and Stronghold. That's not enough, e e Demurrage Rates VARIOUS local agencies have received num erous telegrams from congressmen and others relative to efforts at the top level to do something about the reefer shortage. They haven't been very promising. One scheme planned is to Increase demurrage rates on re frigerator cars, to stimulate more rapid unload lng at terminals. Railroaders tell us it would take two or three weeks for this move to be reflected In increasing car availability here. Klamath growers and their supporting public and civic agencies have no choice but to keep hammering as vigorously as possible on the Immediate need that exists here. That is the only way to keep the local situation before those who can do anything about it .There is competition for the available cars, and this basin must put as much strength into its demand for consideration as Is possible. Briefs From The Pocket File JOSEPH KEENAN, who has been named prosecutor of Jap war criminals, is as sociated with former Mayor Willis Mahoney of Klamath Falls in a Washington law office ... Keenan has been number one man, and Mahoney number two, in their legal set-up ... The Klamath ex-mayor, we have heard, was offered opportunity to go to Japan with Keenan In an executive capacity in connection with the Jap criminal prosecution, but declined due to the probability it would take him out of the country for two years. -;t "" ''; Part of the red tape has been cleared away 'to make the Klamath ' municipal airport field available for use by civilian fliers. It takes time to get through the intricate government procedure to end even an absurdity such as exists here, with a huge airport sitting idle while local fliers are forced to use a muddy temporary set-up at Worden. Richard Shore Smith, Eugene banker, who has Just retired after many years at the head of the First National bank there, is a former Klamath boy . . . His father, George W. Smith, owned the pioneer Altamont ranch, a 1000-acre j set-up in what is now a major Klamath suburban development . . . Dick was a boy on the ranch, and went to Oregon and Columbia university, playing football at both places and winning national fame ... He practiced law here for a short time after college, later mov ing to Eugene to go into the law and banking business ... He is a cousin of E. M. Bubb, former Klamath banker . . . Smith retired from the Eugene bank when it was sold to the TransAmcrica people . . . The first year this scribe attended the University of Oregon, Dick Smith was pinch-hitting as football coach there. Today's Bible Reading From First Corinthians XIII THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling Cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envicth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up . . . When I was a child I spake as a child, I understood as a child: but when I became a man. I tut away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part: but then shall I know even as also I am known, And now abldeth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press World Traveler I ONDON, Dec. 8 When I returned to my L hotel room yesterday afternoon I found a hen's egg carefully cradled on the pen-tray of my writing tablet but wltnout rnyme, reason or explanation of where H came trom. Mv first thouaht was that someone likely the distaff side of this partnership was playing a joke on me. After all, an egg is a most unusual thing for a gentleman to find on his writing table in one of London's elite hotels. On examination, however, there was the num ber of our room penciled In big figures across the white shell, and on the other side was a green stamp saying the egg came from Canada. Then suddenly I remembered fresh eggs are so scarce in England that, while the ration varies, the Briton and visitors are lucky to get one or two a month, the rest being in the form of egg powder. So this was either Mrs. Mac's egg, or mine, and the other would be along in due course. ... Sought Answer WELL, I went about my business, but that egg haunted me. Surely I kept saying to myself, there's a story somewhere in it for this column. It worried me so much I enlisted Mrs. Mac's aid and we went in search of an answer, which we finally got from a special police constable and his young wife, who Invited us to their home. They live in a tiny, three-room apartment with the school-ago daughter. The wife works In an office and their combined income is about 30 dollars a week.' Throughout the years of bombing they slept in a concrete dugout In their back yard, for they were In the heavy danger-zone and their house was damaged num erous times. The constable "Mick," his wife called him) is the good sturdy beef-eating (when he can get it) type a man of action and few words. The wife, "Lou," is smart and does the talking fqr.'the family, and so it was she who answered when I asked for her "re action to my egg conundrum. SIDE GLANCES "Wio. Wonderful Meal she replied, "my immediate re action Is that you've found a jewel. That egg is a wonderful meal. You cant Imagine how we treasure eggs, with our short and monotonous rations. It's been tough going, especially since lend-lease stopped and cut us off from tinned meat" (and she gave me a reproachful look.) Well, "Lou" made us a "dish" of tea, and we headed back to our hotel and the lone egg, with the feeling that she had given us a very shrewd appraisal of the position. That Can adian egg, by the way, goes to "Lou." Telling The Editor letters printed here mutt not be more than (Do word!

(To ,ftie Editor) I recently received . the following letter from one of my friends in the service now on a Pacific island. I think it is timely and that the public should know what kind of a deal that our boys are receiving. Mr. Jack Yeoman Hello Jack: Well, I am sitting here just wasting my time and wishing I was home, but so are 400,000 other GI's here on this island. I don't have points enough yet . but mere are aoout 3 vs.uuu nere that have and that is why I am writing you. I don't remember any of the senators of Oregon but Marshall Cornett. I have written him, : Here is the thing that looks bad to us over here: There are about 1000 ships of all sizes here at Okinawa alone not doing a thing at all but the army is not doing anything about it. I just wish the folks back home could see what a damned mess this is and see the expressions on these boys' faces for a change. There are men here with 3 or . 4 years service and still no dis charge. I tell you, Jack, it makes me sick to think of the , way the damned army is fool ing around. I just wish you would bring this to the atten tion of any and everyone that , can and will help these guys. You will never regret helping these fellows. That is all they i think of, going home, and no one doing anything about it. I will quit the gripes for now. , -Say, how are the fellows get- . ung aiong with tnelr strike in ; dear old Klamath Falls, and say ; lack, tell the boys hello for me ' and I will be home in about a j "ear. I hope and intend to do 1 i hell of a lot of logging when 1 t get home and say Jack, take pn an extra quart of good whis key Christmas for me because there is no such thing on Oki nawa. We do get 6 bottles of beer a month. . Well, Jack, I will dummy up for now. So long Jack and good 1UCK. A GI Friend Pvt. Orville H. Stewart. On the back of the envelope in which I received this letter was stamped "NO BOATS. NO VOTES." I think It is a good slogan, let's all of us adopt it, and to anyone that is interested in getting our boys home write letters to your senator or repre sentative ana tne war and navy departments. The boys in the navy are naving an equally hard time getting home. We have a lot of marines in China that should have been sent home long ago. I have known Orville Stew art for a long time. I know that he is dependable and believe the above to be true. I have heard similar stories from hun dreds of other servicemen. Re member folks, one letter from you individually does more good to the powers that be than a pe tition with thousands of names on it We have read a lot recently of big shots in the navy and army being awarded medals of honor. It looks as though it would have been more fitting to have given some of them an "Iron Cross or a Hirohito Rose." W.
