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.

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.

dians, before the white man

the nuthatch, also uses cedar

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.
