Is go ' Ing to run its Shasta Daylights over the Cascade line by Klamath Falls. We presume that Mr. Stan ton does not expect the S.P. to attempt to install such fast, through trains on the winding Siskiyou line. The country over there just isn't built for speedways, either paved or rn(iri nnH the Shasta Day lights would have, to be re- EPLEY named "Night and Day" if they were routed that way. But Charley's mad, anyhow. He charges the S.P. Is doing a land-office business In the Rogue-Umpqua valley country (freight, we pre sume) but maintains excessive freight rates and inadequate service, while its passenger service is confined to a night train and Roseburgites are told they can "ride the buses" for remote control contact with transportation improve ments in the "outside world." We've listened to the Roseburg-Medford beefs about the S.P.. for years, and because of the integrity of such outstanding beef ers as Bob Ruhl of the Medford Mail-Tribune and Charley Stanton, we wonder if their complaints are not in a measure justified. We've suspected that a part of , their kicking Is due to just plain hurt pride,' and nobody can be expected to do anything about that. But as to the portion of their cries which may. be based on a real need for service that is lacking and would be patronized, we think the S.P. should do something for them. Mr. Stanton, incidentally, . is the gent who gave a vengeful chuckle recently when a CAB examiner recommended only feeder airline serv ice for Klamath Falls. We hope he appreciates the spirit of this piece. .. Inevitable . LOOKING back through the papers of ten years ago today we ran on to a page of pictures under a frightening caption reading: "This War Mad World Nations Prepare to Lead Their Children to Slaughter." The pictures included: a view of 14-year-old Italian boys in a military drill; English children wearing gas masks; 15-year-old Russian girls taking military training, and 8-year-old Italian boys guarding a tank. ','";" .,' .' The world of the 'thirties knew where it was going, all right. But it didn't know how to change its course. The city of Klamath Falls is about to acquire some monkeys, and that isn't referring to this fall's elections, either. And then there's the fellow who came in on a cold morning and inserted an ad: "Wanted free ride to any southern state." By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, Jan. 30 State Secretary VV Byrnes came back from London without saying much. He had a 40 minute conference with Mr. Truman and held an off-the-record press conference which developed no news. Those who saw him judged he was satisfied with the beginnings of the United Nations organization, but frankly, It must be reported little enthusiasm is evident backstage here. The inner comment runs to platitudes, lacking any moving depth of inspiration for the better world. The organiza tion has been set up, but what it will amount to, rests with incalculable events of the future, and everyone can plainly see the natural con flicts of world politics exhibited to date, fore cast an uneasy future. The Russians, for example, sought to force up the questions of British influence in Greece and Anglo-Dutch empire domination of Indoiv esia purely as a matter of politics to counter act the claims that they had seized Iran. Neither the Greeks nor the Indonesians were complain ing. No issue or conflict had been presented, in contrast with the affair of Iran, where the government had protested strenuously against Russia's protection of the communist revolu tionaries until a pro-Russian premier took over the Teheran government this past week end. Russian Tactics THE Russians just tried to work up an issue to make trouble for. the British and Dutch in the security council. It furnished typical evidence of Russian tactics, which are the basic cause of the lack of enthusiasm for the future of the organization. Behind this situation, there exists a natural feeling that Russia is not too strong for UNO and may succeed in restraining its . activities to courses which are acceptable to Russia, thus greatly limiting its future scope and power. This Russian position is understandable. In the Big Three and Big Five meetings Moscow generally has been able to get her way, but in the United Nations assembly, where she must face the whole world of the smaller nations, her causes have not fared so well. She was beaten three times in this first meeting of the assembly, failing to elect her candidate as president, being unable to break the secret ballot system, or to limit the size of the steer ing committee, upon which 51 nations now are to be represented. Then, quite significantly, Molotov did not attend the meeting, but sent Vishinsky, who, incidentally, arrived late. Picking Up Power BUT outside the UNO, Russia is picking up power through Europe and Asia, greater than any nation has accumulated in our time. The only really formidable resistance has de veloped in nations where the Christian churches are strong, which explains the constant attacks of her press against the Vatican particularly. By her very nature, Russia is not alone a nation but a world revolutionary political movement. Hence it is impossible that she could be appeased with any limited amount of territory or power. The struggles of Chinese or French communists for instance, cannot be re solved and settled. A working truce is the utmost possible. , Thus the troubles of the world must reason ably be expected to continue indefinitely and create ever-widening problems for UNO. One observer from London thought the trend he noted there was leading to an ultimate struggle between Russia and the United States for the world power which was Britain's. He thought UNO would come to that. Perhaps. Yet all that can be discerned behind events to date is that the keeping of the peace will be a diffi cult and unending task because of the political forces at play in the world. Frankly no au thority here seems to be any too happy about it all. SIDE GLANCES IHIr Hi COWL 1M4 T HtA MKVICt. IMC. T. 0J. Wtt. It S.

HUGH PRUETT Pacific Regional Director, Amer ican Meteor Society A meteor, big as the moon, blue-green in color and unusual in behavior, startled thousands as it leisurely glided across the early twilight skies of California, Nevada and southeastern Oregon at 4:59 p. m. last November 29. The first thought of many was that is was a flaming airplane. Others surmised it was a blazing rocket bomb or even an atomic bomb. A woman, seized with fear, prayed for safety. A Ne vada farm dog "took out across the field after it. But one Cali fornia man was quite certain it was merely a Hollywood public ity stunt. The approximately slow mo tion and level flight puzzled many. Conservative observers estimated it was in sight fully 15 or 20 seconds. Blue-green was the most commonly reported color. Disintegration was in progress throughout the flight Two large pieces followed in line behind the main body, and smaller fragments were constant ly breaking from it. Following newspaper ' a n d radio publicity, Prof G. B, Blai-f of the "University of Nevada, Prof., E: G. Linaley of Chabot observatory in Oakland, and California representatives of the American Meteor society asked, through the press, for observers' accounts. These requests brought 516 reports, all of which reached the present writer. . With about 11 per cent of these, further cor respondence was carried on to obtain definite angles of altitude and azimuth of the beginning and end points, the data needed in determining the path of a meteor, its height and the ap proximate landing place of un hurried remnants. Object Fell About 100 observers said the object fell only a few miles from them. Many offered to take scientists to the approximate spot. These "spots" are scat tered over most of California and large sections of Nevada. Most estimated the height of the flam ing fireball simply in thousands of feet. Plottings and calculations show quite definitely that the meteor became visible at a height of around 70 miles about 100 miles west of Santa Barbara. Traveling 35 degrees east of north, it came inland a little north of Santa Maria, passed be tween Fresno and Visalia in California, between Luning and Tonopah in Nevada, and finally "blinked out" at a height of 20 RADIO REPAIR Quick Guaranteed Service Good Stock of TUBES J, J.

Unconsumed meteorites might be found many miles beyond the disappearance point or, since the object was of the disintegrating type, even along dozens of miles under the Inst of the visible flight.

Columbia Out As Anchorage WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (IP) The maritime commission told Senntnr fnrHfin TJ.nn I tnAn it found the Columbia river a less acsiraoie anchorage place for maritime vpmhIr than Mh considered. Edward Macauley, acting chairman, wrote the senator that while the investigation of moor ing places for the vessels had not been completed, preliminary re ports cited the undesirable fea tures. "The most Important adverse feature of the Columbia river is the extreme range of the water level due to spring freshets," Macauley said. "This makes moorings of the ships very costly and somewhat hazardous." Macauley said the commission intpnrlpri in lrppn nt a, minimum the money spent on the vessel In laV.lin stnftie Tin nrtln1 4Unt communities where the ships were iaia up would not benefit materially from their presence. fiii From the Klamath Ropubllcon Jan. 23, iuuh J, P.
