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.

Weyerhaeuser syndicate re
portedly has purchased the
Klamath lake railroad (from

the property of the Pokegama

to the thousands of acres of good
timber land acquired by Weyer

here about two years ago, and
since then the comoanv has been

Uncle Sam really hit stride in
food rationing. 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

The reason in this Instance for
the rather whimsical approach
is that these beefsteaks being
particularly Impressive after
close rationing in America and

of a great change for the better

The Eire which I have known

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. How-
ever, its position has improved
so much during the past dozen
years, and especially since the
beginning of the war, that Dub
