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."

GET THEM HOME
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (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."
