'V 'V mANK JKNK1NS Editor MALCOLM EPLET Manaflnf Editor Vambar, 'AuocUtvd Fiw Mambtr Audit Butmu ClrculaUoa Today's Roundup y: By MALCOLM EPLEY MALIN people are engaged In another unique project in connection- with their widely and justly praised community park, v . with a remarkable nest-egg ot $90,000 already on hand, they want about $50,000 more to go the whole Way with the park development. Currently, they have inaugurated . a Christmas gilt box scheme as one method of raising money. We are especially interested in this idea because of what It may demonstrate . about the potentialities of potato gift boxes. All on needs to do to send one of these boxes of fine EPLEY : Malin spuds to a relative or friend is to mall $5 with the name of the recipient to Malin' Park Gift Boxes, Malin; Ore., and the Malin folks will do' the rest. If this succeeds, it may be the groundwork for more extensive gift packaging of Klamath potatoes, along the line of the highly successful' Medford pear gift box program. It is possible that potato gift boxes may become a thriving enterprise hereabouts. . ; .' PIT1" IHIiii Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. At tht branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in .the vine: no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same brlngeth forth much fruit; for without me yt can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he it cast forth at a branch, and is withered; and , men gather them,' and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 'Condemned' To Military Service THERE are occasional stories in the press to the effect that charges have been dismissed : against certain young offenders on the grounds that they have agreed to Join the navy or "some other branch of the armed forces. . ' ' "', We have received, from a locally-stationed military officer, a letter on this subject. Jt was not -submitted -for publication, but it makes some pertinent observations worth passing on. The armed services, he points out, ' were .' never organized as correctional institutions for juvenile delinquents or as a substitute for Jails. Ha said that for the past 20-odd years, the navy department has pleaded against the practice of using navy service to replace punishment of offenders.- . "Our officers and petty officers are paid '.from public funds to train and lead men In the various specialties required to operate an ef ficient navy," says the letter. "This is quite a Job in itself, and the problem of bringing recalcitrants into line should not be added thereto. The days of the well-placed boot and fist are gone, it now takes days and weeks of talking and pleading to get discipline and co operation out of one who was not taught these in early life. Time thus spent is necessar ily taken from time which should be devoted .to professional training and instruction. "The conditions stated, while written about -.the navy, applies equally to all branches of the . armed service." . '. . . . ...:.,.''....

' News Behind The News By PAUL MALLOW WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 The war which the CIO declared upon President Truman for daring to suggest fact-finding on threats of na tional strikes is developing covertly upon the familiar pattern ot the pressure-propaganda wars of the Roosevelt administration. . It got started promptly this week. The first I personally noticed of it was Monday morn- ;. ing, when the incoming mail on my desk, in cluded 10 letters of the old "you so-and-so" J -. type. Since Mr. Truman came into office these had become practically extinct. . My own. minor section of the Vox Pop had : reflected a unanimity of appeal toward reason- ing and fairness. Then all of a sudden there developed this wash of diatribe trivia in typical style, not against any point in particular. The venom glands of the minority Vox Pop quite : apparently are being released. Some editors informed me their own "letters ' to the editor" features were suddenly being - used for similar denunciations, not only of the ' president, but even down to obscure persons ' who merly had been known to favor his mild solution of the problem. Propaganda Technique THESE manifestations betray the usual propa ganda technique of organized drives, al , though, so. far, this one seems less widespread and less effective than those of Roosevelt times. The theme for the war is being set at a rather high pitch. The premise publicity fixed by the auto union leaders is that fact-finding before strikes would be "slavery." Of course, the railroad brotherhoods have grown into the strongest and richest of all the unions in 19 years under this same fact-finding and cooling-off "slavery," but this fact is rarely mentioned, while the thought that the Truman proposal is vicious is continuously dinned into the. popular ear and eye. .. You can see more fully, what is being done in the work of a lady columnist who has been used for years to promote these drives under her own name. She says: "I think we had better watch out for en slavement from the fascist side," and urges that no curtailments of any union activities be at- - tempted for fear of promoting fascism. " This propaganda represents no development from the old, familiar themes, which went over so well with the public when a fascist power existed in the world, particularly in Germany and Italy. 10 Cents A Head rTTT now that the world faclst leaders are con- D demned to the gallows or worse, hardly any reasonable Derson can awaken in the morning, all atremble, to pray "that this day will save him from enslavement by non existant fascists. ,A senator promises the lady 10 cents a head for every American fascist she can name, inasmg fascist hobgoblins is a dead sport. The truth is democracy has never been so popular in modern times as It Is in this country today, and I mean pure American democracy, In contradistinction to the communist or fascist (they have reichstags) type. The war on Truman therefore Is not going well In congress where the issue will be de cided, rwhlle. the camDaien Is aimed at the president, the matter is technically out of his hands.) . . ; .- . - ; In . congress the CIO . has found no hope except to delay or amend , the proposal. All along a majority has been ready to vote some such mild restraint on strikes as this, or much stronger ones. The republicans and ' party-democrats gen erally want something much stronger. Admin istration inside opposition previously prevented action.. Its -assumption of leadership on this issue leaves the unions bloc alone. In the senate this would not rustle over 15 votes of the 96 on a straight-cut; in the house the percent age would be higher, but no more effective. Thus the unions have been forced to restrain themselves to trying to throw the matter over beyond the Christmas holidays by warning against haste while organizing their propaganda. This is the best they can do. The World Today Br Dewrrr Mackenzie - AP Foreign Affairs Analyst DUBLIN. Dec.

After all, who starts serious columns with dis sertations about beefsteaks, no matter how unusual? Well, the answer apparently is that I do. Deing rauier given to following impulse. The reason in this Instance for the rather whimsical approach is that these beefsteaks being particularly Impressive after close rationing in America and closer In Britain are symbolic of a great change for the better wnicn soutnern Ireland has un dergone in recent years. - - No Destitution The Eire which I have known tor a generation has been trans formed from a land in which there was much poverty and dis tress to one in which, so I am in- tormeci in official quarters, there is no real destitution. To' get the full significance of that you must have seen as I have in years past poverty so harsh in some country districts that many families rarely knew anything better than potatoes and salt for -. food, and were grateful for even these, small blessings. Now. I don't want to give- the impression that - southern Ire land had suddenly become a land flowing with milk and honey, for it still has a long way to go to reach that state.
