Influenza has been In epi demic stage here for several weeks. It is not the most viru lent form, and It isn't anything as serious as the influenza runs that used to fill the obit uary columns but it's the flu, it can become pneumonia, and It can do a lot 01 damage. Avoid exposure stay in good shape don't be careless with your health. 1 Those are the preventive measures advised. Those who find they've caught the bug should go immediately to bed, foregoing holiday pleas ures, and if a fever develops, a physician should be consulted. We don't want to spoil any fun, but the good doctor gave us the undiluted warning this ... . , i j i . EPLEY UUVHU t - morning to pass on to those who should know. w w w w Subsiding THE cold and flu epidemic, it is pleasing to report, appears to be subsiding here now. There is no statistical measurement of the epi demic, for so many people are accustomed to handling it as a family problem they do not report to physicians. But what evidences are available indicate it is on the decline. There have been several pneumonia cases, nd two infant deaths. The influenza has been worse this year than for several years, and It has caused a great deal of absenteeism in schools, industrial and business establishments. If holiday pleasure-seeking doesn't give it a new start, it may have run its course. a Rumors OUR good friend Charley Stanton, writing in the Roseburg News-Review, uses the Klamath dice game story as the foundation for little editorializing about rumor-spreading. He touches on an angle that has been mentioned here and is worth further discussion this time from Stanton: "Newspaper men are well aware of the dam age an unfounded rumor can cause to welfare and happiness. That Is one reason they invari ably refuse to suppress news of arrests, trials, convictions, etc., even though tearfully implored almost daily by persons in trouble with the law. Newspaper men know that such news cannot be entirely suppressed and that more damage to the individual can be done by rumor than by publication of the truth. When an item ap pears in type it generally is accepted as final. Gossips may clack their tongues for a few days, but they fall of enjoyment when confronted a few times with the facts as published. But an unpublished story, passing from mouth to mouth, knows no bounds. It grows in the tell ing until, by its weight it can destroy the spirit, the body and e.ven the soul of its victim. The incident at Klamath Falls, fortunately, becomes more or less humorous to the public ye. But it is quite- possible that certain irre parable damage already has been done. There re many cases in which rumor has no humor ous ending but reaches finale only in tragedy nd broken lives. News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 For some years it has been the annual custom of this column to weigh its facts-and-truth account at this season, measuring debits and credits. Let us balance the books for 1945: There were two shabby, if inconsequential mistakes, which I will leave until last. On the other side, the ledger shows debits beyond any previous year. Working back through these past 12 months, you will find, you read here the Truman labor mediation solution some weeks ahead of the event. The solution was set forth as a Truman objective of the labor management conference the day it opened, and earlier (Oct.. 31) the proposal had been advanced as a logical means of ending the strike chaos. The General George report, urging unification of the armed forces into a single department with the air wing eoual and separate from army and navy, was exclusively discovered and published (Oct. 8) in this spot from the com plete obscurity in which the combined chiefs of staff had buried it since April. A congres sional movement was successfully launched to carry forward the program it presented, and finally Mr. Truman advocated the plan to con gress. The MacArthur move to abolish Shinto ism in Japan was recommended as Indispensable to conquest of Japan as early as August 15. The hidden facts about complete destruction of army property in the China-Burma-India . theater were first published November 1, bring ing an immediate reversal of policy by the surplus property board, and later also by the army. A hospital slated for destruction was offered for public sale and other destruction stopped. Two days after the October 9 column asked "Why? WhyT Why?" should we give away the Knmu nnA uriKvl seitmtific defenses be eiVUI,! WVII1W " o sought to the problem first, (advocated original-. ly August 21;, lur. irurnun aiiiiuuuinu uia policy against release of the bomb to other nations. Mr. Truman thus effectively crushed a fullswing national publicity campaign to give the bomb to Russia and thereby appease her, (scientists were almost unanimously shrieking: "Give it away"), although the campaign has been resurgent (Attlee visit, Byrnes' promise to Moscow). a Youth Draff Act Delayed ur vndtv, draft not whs. not defeated as urged in this spot for 15 months, but was delayed, although the war department nas noi yet come to the point of offering a democratic av.a4 nf vmitvt trnlnlnr. so vitallv needed nor has the forecast of Mr. Ickes' resignation yet come true. The propaganda oi me (.mnrao communists to lure us away irom our oou tions to our war-ally in Chunking was exposed ,4ArABf4 fa, tha nrpspnt at least, and the eutu vc-.-v - f - army cleverly carried forward its program of aid, which the communists desired to orean up. (See column Nov. 13.) The Russian policy of this government has worked through the first 11 months of the year away from In effective appeasement, and toward realistic application of United Nations principles and the four freedoms which has been the line of this column. In the course of the Truman government generally, I think readers of this column have been constantly ahead with accur ate forecasts of coming developments without exception (cabinet changes, forecasts of policy, etc.). And congress has held up the unemploy ment compensation bill and watered down satisfactorily the full employment bills, as advocated. The negotiations of the British loan originally followed the points made Sept. 17 and Sept. 18 in two columns which resisted the then current trend of public propaganda and favored a genuine loan on genuine terms, rather than a gift to support a socialist experiment. (We got interest, anyway.) This victory for Justice was, however, made half-hollow by the final con cessions. . ClO-New Dealer Chant THE CIO-New Dealer hue and cry that peace would bring depression and great unem ployment was denied and discredited in half a dozen columns since spring and we have no depression yet. Congress joined this thought against the CIO depressive bills in this infla tionary era. Communism was objectively an alyzed and defined in three columns in June to disprove the popular fallacy that Russia is a democracy, and proofs of this since then have been accumulating. The column for May 23 was censored out of the papers because it reiterated a previous disclosure, made first February 15, that Stalin had agreed at Yalta to declare war on Japan. But July 4, a few days after a government official and a con . gressman made similar public assertions, I rewrote the fact again for publication, and it was published that time.' Events later proved it true. (No other writer had this original story.) From the San Francisco conference, this column carried the only published accounts of the inner fight of the navy and Senator Byrd to get island bases in conflict with the Stettinius "trusteeship" program; it forecast in advance, the agenda and outcome of the conference and it published the only account of how Hillman tried to capture the international labor setup, and failed. O believe no one else has yet pub- lished this latter story.) . e a Two Mistakes SKIPPING much more of the same in earlier months of the year, I come back to two mistakes. Incidental 'to a September column, I reported government employees have 30 days vacation and 30 days sick leave, whereas they have 28 actual work days of vacation and 15 days sick leave, but are allowed 30 days "In meritorious cases" and sick leave Is cumulative up to 90 days. I did not bother about cor rection because the substance of the point was accurately presented, but It Is herewith made for the record, if anyone cares. As for the other, I erroneously attributed the redundant poem "A Rose Is a Rose, Is a Rose, Is a Rose" to Archibald MacLeish, the Roose velt propagandist laureate, whereas it was writ ten by Gertrude Stein. The erroneous attribu tion was written from San Francisco without my usual office research files. For this I am sorry either for Miss Stein or Mr. MacLeish, I do not know which. The point about the re dundancy of Mr. MacLeish's international pro paganda still holds firmly. Thus are the books cleaned for 1948. The 1945 balance indicates you can do much good in this business If you work at it. I Break In Pacific Coast Troop Jam Appears Near SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26 (JP) A break in the. jam which has held nearly 170,000 servicemen in Pacific coast ports over the Christmas holiday appeared near today. Los Angeles and San Fran cisco, principal bottlenecks in the transportation jam which has prevented returning veterans from proceeding to their homes at eastern points, both reported far fewer men coming in than going out. Two ships are scheduled to bring 2703 men to Los Angeles today and 1915 are due at San Francisco aboard two other ves sels. These ports have been clearing close to 15,000 men a day for eastern points. San Francisco port officials yesterday said they anticipated only 18,000 men between then and January 1, allowing an opportunity for substantial reduction of the more than 40,000 men already here. Los Angeles has a similar back log. Seattle and Tacoma, Washing ton state staging areas, anticipate 949 men today while several thousand are being cleared via train, bus and plane. Portland, Ore., reported no arrivals. Christmas Day programs in the port cities gave the waiting army, navy and marine veterans plenty to do and eat as civilian homes, clubs and lodges from Seattle to San Diego were thrown open to them. At Seat tle, a Christmas party planned for 10,000 men with presents for all was attended by not near ly that number. SHORT IMPROVED - WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (JP) Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short, U. S. A., retired, who was army com mander of the Hawaiian theater when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, was reported bet ter today at Walter Reed hospital. Sailor Dies When Auto Overturns ELLENSBURG, Dec. 26 Mc Donald C. Kornbau, 19, of Los Angeles, a sailor, died at the Ellensburg General hospital yes terday of injuries suffered Christmas Eve when an automo bile in which he was a passen ger overturned on the Yakima highway 14 miles south of here. The state patrol said Kornbau was thrown out of a vehicle driven by William Ross, 19, of Yakima and was fatally hurt when the car rolled over him. The patrol said Ross was unhurt, DEATH SENTENCE BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec. 24 (Delayed) VP) Seven teen persons including some Chetniks, were condemned to death today at Liubliana. on charges of having collaborated with the nazis. Thirteen others, also convicted of treason, re' ceived sentences of from eight to 20 years imprisonment. One de fendant was freed. A non-ferrous metal is one not derived from iron. SIDE GLANCES "When Pop heard you were coming, lie said it was too bad the hotels were all crowded, but you weren't the kind of Deoole who'd stay at a hotel anyway I" The World Today Br Dewrrr Mackenzie AP World Traveler bt i 1 mm MacKENZIE LONDON. Dec. 26 This is Britain's annual "Boxing Day." It always follows immediate ly after Christmas and is a na tional holiday, jv uu which hue ; hniiohnlrtni nrn. t vides gift boxes! for postmen. milkmen, er- r l-nnH Knve nnri V others who have rendered serv ice during the past year. It is a tradi tion that runs back through many aenera- tions and is as much a part of the Yuletide spirit as a wagging tail is of a friendly pup. Actual ly the gift generally takes the form of money, which is placed in a box carried by the recip ient. In the case of postmen and other organized services this money is pooled and then is divided equally among tne workers. . Strange Development Today for the first time one notes a strange development in connection with this ancient custom. Many postmen decided that they no longer would so licit boxing day gifts, on the ground that it is beneath their dignity. They would accept pres ents only if they were voluntar ily preferred. now mat s an interesting ana significant phenomenon. It is a corollary, as I see it, to the ad vent of the labor (socialist) gov ernment. It's a further sign that the "working class" in England is reaching for a new place in the sun something one sees in evidence everywhere through changing attitudes toward those for whom service is being ren dered. Sometimes this change is marked by increased dignity of bearing, and sometimes by less pleasant characteristics. There follows tne very nat ural question of what this first Boxing Day of Britain's new politico-economic eria is likely to bring the nation and let none doubt that this is the par amount Droblem in all minds. The answer, of course, depends mainly on whether the govern ment s daring experiment witn socialist nationalization pro duces the Utopia that laborites seek.
