Today s Round-Up
By MALCOLM EFLEY
1 1 AE ain't jealous, but we're doggone
VV mad'" tne wfly our friend, Editor
Charley Stanton of the Roseburg News-Review,
described his reaction to tne
announcement the S.P. 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.

By J. 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

or 30 miles, east northeast of
Reno, and 200 miles from that
city, after a fiery flight of over
500 miles.
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.
A lengthy report on this noted
fireball, with tracing maps and
methods, will appear In the
March number of a California
astronomical magazine. Any
one interested in this publication
may obtain information by send
ing a self-addressed postal to the
present writer at 1832 Longvicw

beauty, long to be treasured in

The maritime commission told

Edward Macauley, acting

while the investigation of moor

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."
