PuNl.hed ovary afternoon except Sunday at Epla ada and Pine etreeta. Klamath Falla, Oregon, by tha Herald Publlalung Co. and U Ncwa Publlahlng Company. Member, Aaaoclated PreM Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY HERE'S suggestion to Klamath basketball funs, who are turning out this year in un precedented numbers: Stifle that noise when Klamath's opponents are making a free throw. It smacks of discourtesy to fill the gym with shouts, cat calls and boos when an op ponent player steps up to the foul line. It's not only evidence of poor sportsmanship on the part of the crowd, but so far as we have been able to ob serve, it serves to no effect on the man at the foul line. Dead silence would be more likely to tighten him up, if EPLEY anyone is interested in that objective. Don't get the idea we think a basketball audience should not be vocal. Our opinion is that plenty of noise is justified in almost any situation, with the exception we have men tioned. Even a questionable decision from the hard-worked officials may sometimes deserve a good-natured razz, though a shout of protest at every decision which goes against the home team is hardly intelligent. But to us, that foul shot business is different An offense has been committed, and the rules prevent any interference from the floor with the man who steps up to the foul line. Sports manship dictates that he deserves similar pro tection from the audience. Market Losses HOW serious that refrigerator car shortage has been this year is indicated in an as sertion made this week by the Klamath Potato . Growers association that the lack of cars has caused a loss of markets that have always be longed to the Klamath producing areas. In a letter to C. W. Taylor, agent of the ICC, the association said that dealers were reporting that in some areas, which have taken Klam ath's product traditionally, inability to ship our potatoes there this year has given an advantage : to competitive production districts. "Since potatoes are the main cash crop here, this matter is of very grave concern to all residents of the county and district," said the ' association letter. . As of January 10, some 7076 carloads of the 1943-46 potato crop had been moved to market. The best estimate at that time was that around 4400 cars remained to be shipped. That indi cates a need for a daily car rate of not less than 60 or 65 in order to complete the shipping ' season in orderly fashion. Cars haven't been coming that fast, by any means, and the need for further consideration and relief for this district is most evident. Truck Shipments RECENT reports indicate that some help in the situation has come through- somewhat heavier shipments recently by truck. Big trucks that carry virtually a freight car load of potatoes have been moving more of the Klamath crop to market this year than usual. But in general, the industry still de pends largely on railroad refrigerator cars." Word that there will be heavy construction of new refrigerators the coming year offers some hope for a better situation in 1946-47. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 Maybe you will say I am crazy, but it's a fact when con gress left here for Christmas, President Tru man's proposal for fact-finding and cooling off on strikes was being scuttled by the CIO-New Dealing congressmen. Their Murray of Mon tana as chairman of the senate labor commit tee did not take up the plan for the holidays as Mr, Truman had urged, CIO quoted It "slavery." Now the condition and the words are run ning exactly opposite. Murray, strangely, let leak from his office certain letters from his constituents showing overwhelming support for fact-finding, and has opened his committee hear ings on it, while some others in the CIO-New Deal clique are saying fact-finding would not be too bad. The silent, perplexed bulk of congress, con versely, is showing, unmistakable signs that the Truman solution nas lost ground outside the labor groups during the recess. Behind this Christmas double-miracle of poll tics lay a plain, unanswerable disclosure of tho fact-roots of the labor-management issue. Since Christmas CIO has reversed Itself in the Gen eral Motors case, and accepted the 17.5 per cent price rise which the fact-finding proposed, but the company turned against the plan when Mr. Truman's fact-ferreters wanted to let the union in on their private business profits secrets (whatever these may be, beyond the filed public records). 1 This new opposition to fact-finding has not been vociferous in announcing or explaining Its position, at least in congress. My informa tion on this turn is based on two points par ticularly: (a) The president, amenable to political Influ ences, of which the unions are most potent, can appoint anyone he chooses in particular cases and thus assure just about the results he wants, and (b) such a system will work the union way inevitably by disclosing company financial secrets to the union but - no union financial secrets to the company. Thus when you arrive at these root-facts of the matter, you can plainly see the difficulties of establishing a fair or effective solution of a national crisis. The same solution, which was "slavery" to labor three weeks ago, has become "meatballs" to some extent today. Labor has not lost a fact-finding case, a congressman who went into the matter tells me. The judicial basis of fact-finding (the railroad brotherhoods' experience of 13 years of just, amicable, settlements with only one strike), therefore, is losing ground. What then? Well, it appears if anything at all is done a fact-finding program will be en acted, . but amendments are threatened, the' : nature of which are not acceptable to labor. , Thus labor is still stalling the Truman 'plan. Amendments Threaten STILL threatening are the amendments pre dicted in this column published December 20,' for preventing political domination by unions, preventing the breaking of contracts ' at will and steps to establish union responsibll ; ity otherwise commensurate with its power. These steps may go much further when the debate starts. Certainly the fight for them " will be harder than three weeks ago. . ; On the other hand settlement of these major , strikes before the voting day would ease the existing pressure for action to some extent ; and might encourage congress to duck the whole labor Issue again. , .' This is more reason for stalling in the mean ."; time. What has become apparent to most citizens as well as congressmen in the strike news : since Christmas is that fact-finding as It stands ! has not solved the strike problem. The Tru .' man advocates may say it would if they' had legislation behind them, but the unwillingness of General Motors to do what the legislation proposes hardly justifies this expectation.. . As a matter of fact the evidence shows quite ; clearly fact-finding will not settle any strikes : unless both sides agree. When you get down to fundamentals, it would not change labor's position in any re spect, or management's. The only proposal i which would seem to do this fairly (without impairing the just rights of unions) is the Byrd proposal to put the unions on the same legal level as corporations by making them corporations. Senator Byrd would require them to Incor porate, file their figures with the securities and exchange commission as businesses must do and thus assume the same legal responsibilities for damages, contracts, etc. The Bailey amendment would kill the closed shop, kill political activities and otherwise go deeper into union curbs; while the Luce plan for profit sharing is only a proposal for a con gressional investigation of same, as the govern ment can do nothing effective about it. The World Today Br Dawrrr Mackenzie AP World Traveler MADRID, Jan. 17 It would bo easy for the visitor to Madrid to leap to the conclusion that Spain is a land flowing with milk and. honey, there's such a plcntl tudo of the good things of life available in the capital at a price. People of means are so accustomed to ahiinrintirii that amazement MmKENZIE was expressed by residents with whom I was lunching in a de luxe hotel because tho usual succulent beefsteaks weren't available for that meal. The menu was loaded wth all sorts of other food, but it happens that there's a shortage of beef right now, at least in the city mar kets. Luxurious Meals What was true of food is also largely true of both necessities and luxuries in other lines. In short, up to the time Mrs. Muck and I left New York at tlte end of November, probably no city in America had recovered suf ficiently from war strain to pro duce such luxurious meals as Madrid can serve. And of course London and Paris, which we al so hove visited, struggle along far behind. However, It's well that we In troduce a qualification right here lest there bo any mistaken idco that Spain is riding the crest of the economic wave. She also has her troubles and her pros perity is rather in the coaehdog category that is, spotty. Among other things, the cost of living has risen so high that people of small means are having a hard time a situation wth which we shall deal in a subsequent column. We can say, though, that on the whole Spain's relative eco nomic position among the Euro pean countries is good. She ranks well among the other neutral states of Switzerland, Portugal and Sweden.

A feathered biped, the nuthatch, also uses cedar bark in its housekeeping. Last May the writer watched a nut hatch filling a crack. It was between the bark and the trunk of a golden-cup oak. The bird used strips, three inches long, it had ripped from nearby ce dar trees. It was a curious thing that a nuthatch averages about six eggs annually. University of California's zoologist, the late Dr. Grinnell, insisted that the number of eggs was determined by the bird's death rate. A nut hatch nesting, as above, in its "bombproof" shelter, needs only a half dozen nestlings. The quail, with exposed nest on the ground, has as many as 16. Seabirds, nesting on ocean islands, get along with one egg a year. Seabird egg survival values are increased by ovoid eggs.
