Member, Associated Press Member Audit Bureau Circulation Guest Editorial By ROBERT H. LAMOTT Modoc Council Boy Scout Executive yAVE you enjoyed reading the headlines lately? I refer to the ones about "Fifteen r Old Boys Rob Store" and "Youngsters 6teal Small Bank," etc. v . Are you doing anything about It?' lib you know that Klamath youth agencies, both boy and girl, have had more leadership difficulties in the past three months than at any time during the war? Fewer people are taking the time necessary to work with these youngsters. Given nothing more constructive to do, boys even resort to robbery for activity. So what? So about SO good citizens of this town of the male gender and an equal number of the female gender had best offer their serv ices in the Boy Scout, Girl Scout and Camp Fire Girl movements or these headlines are going to increasedand increase f ast! If love of youth doesn't prompt you, civic" pride should. Folks who are new in town re mark about our indifference in these matters and, In comparison with many other commun ities, this is altogether too obvious, r . . v Easy Enough IF you enjoy these headlines, it's-easy'to keep them coming. All we have to do 'is to pay strict attention to our business interests, to our adult clubs and lodges and let the young sters shift for themselves. That will assure the public of spectacular reading in our headlines for some time to come.. If you prefer more pleasant headlines, give up a club meeting a week; let a few of those dollars slip by; skip a little hunting perhaps; but by all means get in and work with these kids before it's too late. There is, of course, the alternative of a gov ernment directed, government financed and government controlled youth movement if we citizens, fall in our responsibilities. ' ' ' Why not call The News-Herald today, the folks there can tell you who' to contact if you want to change the headlines. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 My inside story on army destruction of surplus property needed by the destitute natives or wanted by Grs in the Indian-Burma theater-i-just because the British wanted it that way provoked an eruption and minor tidal wave more' Interesting than the original expose. ;'f;i Immediately, the GI newspaper for "the area "Roundup" (published in . Delh'l parried, a , column one, front page announcement from Administrator Symington saying: "Vets can buy surplus goods from the sur plus war property commission." T The announcement said they could buy autos, stocks if going into the retail business, but nothing about the watches which were be ing destroyed wholesale or clothing for the natives, or anything on the ground out there. Then half a dozen soldiers in the area, from private up to captain, wrote me letters telling me the destruction policy had really been changed, as far as the needy natives were concerned. A large army hospital slated for destruction, instead was offered to bidding for publio sale to the locality. Sale Allowed IN MANY localities commanding officers al lowed . sale or gifts (mostly the latter) of clothing which could not be returned' to the United States. Also an order apparently came through to send what equipment could not sensibly be returned to the United States on to China for use there. The expose thus appeared to have brought immediate corrections, and belated good. But on November 8, the India-Burma thea tcr commander, Maj. Gen. Thomas A. Terry, issued a denial of "a statement attributed to the American columnist, Paul Mallon" about re strictions against leaving things for the natives. The first five paragraphs of the denial sounded convincing but the sixth read like this: "It is a fact that before our policy was fully understood throughout the theater, some equip ment was damaged or destroyed under condi tions which appeared dubious." In short what I reported had been true, but was no longer true, according to Gen. Terry, Terry Denial THE Terry denial from Calcutta was sent to me by two sergeants and' a private who dared to sign their names, appreciating that the ton brass was more diplomatic than frank. These fellows said: "Your statements are absolutely correct. We have witnessed the destruction of several thoa sand dollars worth of serviceable clothing, which would have made a benevolent gift to charity. Clothing is just one of the useful items which have been destroyed at tms base. . They have destroyed or abandoned genera tors, several thousand feet of new electric wire, cookins utensils, lavatory equipment, leather flying clothes, radio transmitters and. equip ment, air compressors, etc. "It miaht interest you to know, however, that after your article appeared, they ceased their policy of destruction. As to present and future disposition of surplus property, we nave no information. Apparently most of the ma terial from now on will be shipped to the States if it is in serviceable condition, and not needed by the Chinese." Others reported tents and tarpaulin worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, puea nign, saturated with gasoline and burned, and unused gas poured on the ground. . , An alert newsman out west sent my column to the British embassy, and asked how come? The reply was awestruck . . . such a thing could not be: of course we have no information about it; but the British never do things like that, i . . Several pro-British Americans wrote letters to my newspaper denouncing me, without offer ing the slightest evidence to contradict my own, for suggesting the trade instinct was still pre valent among the British in handling their na tives. Apparently whatever influence the British wielded to eet the army to destroy rather than leave, was moderated, us promptly as the de struction order. This seems to be the established new publicity technique, both here and abroad to deny, and quietly correct at the same time. Colonel Calls FINALLY, a few days back, a colonel at the war department here called me and said he understood I had written a column sometime or other, he did not have the date, about some destruction of property somewhere and he wanted to know where I got my information. Well, I said, you have better avenues of in formation than I have. What are your reports about destruction in the India-Burma theater? There is no destruction, said he. Why do you wish to know my sources of information, then? - Well he wanted to know if what I said was true. - All right,' I said, send some investigators out to the theater to find out if the reports from your commanding officers are true don't ask me. . - But will you give the war department your sources? he asked "I will not," I replied. "I have in my pos session written reports from 15 or more Ameri can soldiers of various ranks in that theater, and telephone confirmation from returned vets and I can imagine how well those officers who sent you the false reports would like to get hold of their names. You write me a letter re questing my sources and tell me why you want them, and I will see what consideration I will give it." I never got any letter. He never got any identification of my sources. Their letters are in my safe. Kinda interesting example of how things go on these days, don't 'you think? Telling The Editor tettare Drlnttd hers mwl not he mart than MO word.

(To the Editor) This is an appeal to the sporting blood of the hunters of the Klamath basin, or whoever- is concerned. Two weeks ago today my liver and white female Springer spaniel was taken from the rear of my Place on s. bth. I am very fond of this dog and have raised her from a pup. She was 9 months old the 25th of November, and was just in the prime of training. She had received the best of care and was fed on time every day and a certain kind of food. I would hate to think of her being mis treated or under-led and not have a warm, place to sleep. If whoever has her will contact me he might as well have her house and I will tell them how to feed her and what. Perhaps someone in the last two weeks has acquired such a dog. I know If this dog was loose she would 'come nome. ' Sportingly yours, O. P. PRE WITT. KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To the Editor) Some time ago the Greyhound bus people printed a very interesting booklet, "Un real Realities," dedicated to Klamath county. Many unusual truths were de scribed. Wood that sinks, stones that float, ice only 15 feet under ground in caves when surface temperature is 90 degrees, the wonders of Crater lake and other phenomena. As widely traveled and ob servant a man as Commander Scott is, he nevertheless slipped up a little on his reporting of the wonders of Klamath county, t Yes, among all that strange' phenomena he failed to write Ibout our "geysers." I mean, particularly, our 7th street "gey- sers" which are far above and apart in interest from the many lesser ones scattered city-wide. They are different from Old Faithful in Yellowstone; it only spouts steam occasionally, but geysers! Am They work contin uously, summer .winter, fall and spring, they are always on the job. There is probably only one an swer vl ine mystery of the good commander failing to mention our geysers. He has been all over the world and has seen everything, but as he stood con templating with awe the wonder geysers, spouting along the apwntown streets, he said to himself, "No not that, no one will believe me. I'll stick to Crater lake's floating stones and sinking wood." ART BENEDICT. FOR TOLERANCE MODOC POINT, Ore., (To the Editor) Dear Sir: I am writing to express my appreciation of y o u r tolerant, broadminded, charitable and reasonable atti tude in regard to all internation al relations. I have heard so much of the very opposite so often in my time that it is re freshing to observe your atti tude. I feel that we must keep the peace, we must get along to gether some way and make the United Nations plan work, or do immeasurably worse. May blessings and power and success attend your efforts. Very respectfully, ROSS J. FERGUSON.
