MANX JXNKIN1 MALCOLM SPLEY ' Editor Managing Editor A eoneolMatlon ot the Evening Herald and the Klamatn Kawa. Publlohed every afternoon except Sunday at Espla nade and Pina atreeu, Klamath FalU. Oregon, by the Herald publlahlng Co. and the Newe Publlahlng Company. filtered aa aecond clan matter at the poetoMce of Klamath alU Ore., on Augiut 20. 1000, under act of congrcsa, March 6. 1878 SUBSCRIPTION BATES: By carrier ...month $1.00 By mall y mall month 1 00 By mall ...6 month! yea u W .S r $8 0 Member, AetocUted Pre Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY OUR radio associates who have been getting into the news recently with yarns about KFLW, admit to us that LW has no particular significance. At the start, an effort .was - IFVNH1 made to get KHAN assigned ' si the call letters, meaning,: of course, Klamath Herald and News. But those letters were not available and neither were KLAM. KFLW was the only euphon ious combination left that in cluded KF for Klamath Falls. The letters run off the tongue easily, and the radio gents are happy about that. EPLEY Our personal suggestion was that the LW stands for "long wait." KFL W'j manager, Bud Chandler answered mebbe so, but it'll be found worth waiting for, and once it is in- operation we can change it to "long weight." The call letters are of minor significance, of course, and whatever they are, it's up to the staff to make them come to denote radio, ex cellence in the public mind. Our radio folks declare that such is their objective for KFLW, and we know they mean it. . e Rough Spot INCIDENTALLY, we've been tempted for a couple of weeks to attack KFLW editorially for that bad spot in the pavement on Esplanade street resulting from some construction she nanigan for the radio station. Mr. Chandler's story on that one is that the filler in the hole will have to settle before a final patching job can be done, and that it will then be done by the city street department. Mebbe so, again, but it would be a good idea to keep the loose filler somewhere near the pavement level. That would serve to keep us off KFLW's neck, and to keep Carl Steinseifer and other wags off our neck. e e Delayed Appointment WELL deserved was the appointment as police chief which came this week to Acting Chief Orville Hamilton. Hamilton head ed the department as acting chief for more than a year and did a good job under some what difficult circumstances. Delay in giving him the full appointment as chief sprang from the constitutional caution of Mayor Ed Ostendorf. Hamilton was assistant chief under Earl Heuvel, prior to the beginning of Mayor Ostendorf's administration. Before taking office, Ostendorf announced emphatically that he would appoint a "new" police chief, disposing of any possibility he would re-name Heuvel. , , , , After looking the field over and communicat ing with various prospects for the job, Mayor Ostendorf named Hamilton as acting chief. Meanwhile, criminal charges had developed against former Chief Heuvel. The mayor wanted to know more about what might come out of the Heuvel case before he made the final appointment of Hamilton. The mayor never indicated he had grounds for suspicion he was just cautious, and he wanted to wait until the Heuvel thing was unraveled in public. He was pressed by some members of the council to make the appoint ment, but held off until this week. He com mented further that a period of trial for a new chief, while serving as acting chief, was not out of order and not unprecedented. Through all of this, Orville Hamilton went Tight along sawing wood, running the police department in a difficult war year and gen erally establishing good account of himself and the department. He has been especially effective in establishing a cooperative relation ship with other agencies and the circuit and juvenile court officials. An amusing sidelight was a rumor that started to the effect that Mayor Ostendorf was keeping Hamilton in acting chief status so he could appoint ex-Chief Heuvel if the latter were cleared of criminal charges. There never was any such possibility, and there isn't now, regardless of the outcome of the Heuvel cases. Good Finish OFFICIAL treasury department figures are out showing that Klamath came through in fine style in the last of the big war loan drives) the Victory Loan campaign. Over-all bond sales were $3,853,748, or 198.6 per cent of quota of $1,940,000. E bond sales hit $891,352, or 120.5 per cent of the $740,000 quota. Sales to individuals reached. 175.2 per cent of quota, and sales to corporations went to 225.7 per cent of quota. - That was a glorious finish to a series of patriotic efforts in this country through the war period. Here are congratulations to all who helped. The World Today By DbWITT MacKENZIE ' Associated Press World Traveler PARIS, Jan. 12 We have been watching with .understanding but with much anxiety the demonstrations here in. Paris by the GI's . who want to be sent back home. The GI viewpoint is indeed easily under standable. He isn't a professional soldier, but one of the millions of fellows who have given up college or employment and have left their homes to risk their lives on the battlefields for Uncle Sam. He's a grand chap, who has done a magnificent job and done it patriotically. Now he is homesick and aching to get back to his folks and, own pursuits. If that were the whole story, the only con cern would rest in how long it would take to demobilize the American force In Europe. e e e Not Whole Story BUT it isn't the whole story by a long shot, for when the GI gives up his duties as a part of the occupation troops of Germany, he must be replaced by another well trained soldier or at least there must be sufficient replacements so that America can maintain a powerful force in the reich indefinitely. Long before the war ended, the allied leaders had decided that there was only one possible way to insure the world against further German aggression. That was for allied troops to oc cupy the fatherland over a long period of years, during which the people would be re-educated in the ways of peace and democracy. e a e Invited Second War WE invited the Second World War and got it by our failure to occupy Germany in 1918 and finish off the job. Now we are faced with a similar problem. How will it be solved? Well, a lot of Germans are thinking, and hop ing, that in a year or two there won't be any Americans left in the country. However, that won't happen unless America decides to wash her hands of Europe. We could, of course, withdraw all troops from Germany and leave the occupation to the Rus sians, British, French and Belgians, but that would be neither fair nor expedient. We cer tainly want a hand in re-educating the Ger mans, since twice within a generation they've dragged us into war and thus demonstrated that American isolation is impossible.

I John Cahill Listed Dead LAKEVIEW Mrs. Ellen Ca hill of Adel has received word through the war department that her son, 2nd Lt. John J. Cahill, is officially listed as dead in the records of the department. While hope had been entertained by both Lt. Cahill's mother and his wife, Mrs. Bessie R. Cahill of Su sanville, Calif., that he survived an air mission in the early sum mer of 1944 when he went down with his plane and was reported missing in action, searches have subsequently been conducted. No trace of the plane or any of the crew members was found. Lt. Cahill enlisted in the army air corps in 1941 and was called into the service on January 6, 1942. Serving as a navigator on a B-24, he was on a daylight reconnaissance mission from Port Moresby, New Guinea, on May 19, 1943. When the flight had been gone from their base about one and one-half hours, Lt. Cahill and the crew radioed that they were being attacked by five Japanese fighter planes. A few minutes later they reported that they were going down. At the time they were near Karkar is land. Searching parties later By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Highor Education System Mars, variously referred to as the red planet and the god of war, is now nearer the earth than at any time since late 1943 Wherever the sky conditions permit, it glows brilliantly all night long, for It now rises in the dusk and finally sinks into the northwestern horizon as the morning sun appears in the southeast. Mars may be located without the least difficulty. As soon as the evening sky is fairly well darkened, look a little above the horizon considerably north of east. A splendid curve of four bright stars attracts instant at tention. Our planet, the lowest 01 these "but one and by far tne drightest of all. is consolcu ous by its steady light and its reaciisn-orange color. This other world encircles the sun as does our earth, but on an orbit the next farther out than ours. Being more distant from the sun. Mars requires more time for a round trip, making only about one to our two. This means that sometimes the two planets are on opposite sides of tne sun and very distant from each other. The separation may then be nearly. 250000,000 miles. But when on the same side they are much nearer to gether, at present being "only" 59,000,000 miles apart. At intervals of 15 or 17 years, these approaches are un usually close. This is due to the departure of the orbits from true circular form.

Jjytie, state veterinarian. approach was In July. 1939 when Mars was a mere 36,000, 000 miles from us. The red planet has a diame ter aoout hall that of the earth. Its atmosphere Is very thin and its surface Is seldom obscured by clouds. The day Is about half an hour longer than ours. Freez ing occurs everywhere on the night side, but In equatorial re gions the noon temperatures ap proach that of a pleasant sum mer day. Violent controversies have raged among astronomers since the last century over the so- called "canals" on Mars. The late Professor Lowell and his followers claimed the surface of the planet showed an elaborate network of fine lines. These they interpreted as artificial ditches constructed by intelligent beings to carry water from the spring melting of the polar snow caps to equatorial regions and "way points." Many others agree there are multitudes of dark lines visi ble at times, but are not so cer tain they have regular forms, and decidedly do not favor Low ell's interpretations. Some go so far as to assert there is no indi cation of these lines and that belief in them is purely a "fig ment of the imagination." Perhaps we shall never know whether Mars has canals or men to tend them but we Can enjoy the splendor of this ruddy planet wherever our mid winter skies are clear.
