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?

FROM DOG OWNER
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (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.

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,

Finally, in ono brutally blunt

In Germany: "They (tho Ox

Tho document stresses tha
bond between democracy nnd
