FRANK JKNKINi Idllor Member, Aesoelated Press MALCOLM KPLEY Member Audit Bureau Circulation . EPLEY Today's Roundup n MALCOLM EPLEV IF Oregon expects to take advantage of the exceptional opportunity ottered in the Marine aarracks as a veterans education center, it iceds to get going with a def nite request ior the property md all that goes with it. On Saturday, when mem bers of the higher education md emergency boards were bero with Gov. Snell, we icnscd too much of this sort of thing: "What will the navy let us have?" rather than "Let's ask for everything." When the education board drew up a resolution, it said It was "inclined to look with favor" upon the plan. The Oregon officials should shed this timidity. It was proper for them to . look carefully at the property and at the problems involved in operating it, and to size these up alongside the critical issue of providing facilities for veteran education NOW. Having done that, it is quite apparent that the officials of the state are convinced the edu cation plan for the BarracTts is a good idea. Okch, then, go after it for bear! Oregon has a public purpose of outstanding worth for this valuable property. The navy can turn it over to this state without any question of its proper use for a public cause. The state has a record for political integrity that will be most helpful in this transaction. ' There has been a good deal of official con versation about the "offer." This isn't so much an offer as it is an opportunity something to be seized by the scruff of the neck with both hands. . Not A Local Project PERHAPS at this point it is well to say that this Marine Barracks veteran education plan has not developed as a local community enterprise. While the Lions club had constructively sug gested use of the Barracks for educational pur poses, the specific proposal for state use began at the top, not locally. It came down to the board of higher education through the gov ernor's office. The thing has statewide significance in con- . nection with a statewide problem. It is not a matter of "Klamath Falls trying to get some thing." It happens that the military installation in Oregon that is best adaptable to educational purposes, due to the peculiar purposes of its original mission, lies near this city. At the same time, we say unhesitatingly that the people of this community are ready to co operate in any way to help make the project a success if it is located here. Officials of the Marine Barracks as a military installation can and will testify, we believe, to local willing ness and ability along that line. - VA And The Barracks THE Veterans' Administration appears defin itely to want the dispensary at the Marine Barracks for temporary use as a veterans' hos pital. Confirming a previous report to that effect published first in this paper, General Bradley has been quoted on the national wires to the effect VA had, "agreed to take over 17 surplus army and navy hospitals, including one not previously announced, at the Marine Barracks, Klamath Falls, Ore." The dispensary is only a small part of the Marine Barracks plant, and its use by the VA should not hamper the state program there. In fact, several of the state officials in the party here Saturday expressed the opinion that this federal activity on the project might well work to the benefit of the state in. a number of ways, including financial. For instance, it will spread utility costs, such 'as heating, between the state and the federal government. Possibly a plan may be worked out where the VA can furnish medical and the usual "infirmary" service to the college veterans on the project. It is interesting that the Klamath Marine Barracks, which rendered a most Important war service, may now be used in providing two of the principal things the public owes its fighting men and women in the postwar era medical assistance and education. News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 In complete of ficial privacy, the state department has spent some weeks getting UP a new statement of American foreign policy. The only great question of policy, of course, is how to treat Russia. On this, the paper was not illuminating in its original form. The Byrnes policy established at Moscow and London since mid-December, has been sub stantially this: Press no point which would be offensive to Russian claims. Retreat on policy as much as possible and accept Russian con tentions. The apparent but not professed pur pose has been to entice Russia out of her na tionalistic isolation into dealing in the world of affairs. This has kept world news rather calm but events behind the news, particularly from Eu rope, are working up boldly and may break sen sationally. Do not, for instance, let yourself be currently misled into believing the domina tion of the' French government by communists and socialists is a permanent arrangement, or that the name of De Gaulle will remain forever in retirement from French politics. Give great er notice than has been given to the victory of the Belgian Catholic party over both commun ists and socialists. Belgium is half French, with all the same elements of French politics ! ,!nioi ' Inrioeri thrnuffhout EuroDe. even in Yugoslavia, the resistance to communism is taking the only effective torm yei evmcut in the gathering together of Catholic elements. Firm Ideology I HAVE heard American statesmen say these Christian groups are the only ones in the world todav who know how to resist com munist, ideologically or politically. These groups have a firm ideology themselves. Britain was the first nation to talk up to the Soviets, but the diplomatic resistance of Bevin at the London UNO conference was tactical rather than formidable. The Russians had raised the question of British influence in nrimarilv to cover their own tracks in Poland, the Balkans, Iran, Turkey and other places where they are attempting to extend their influence, iney lorcea uriiain m ure defensive by raising this question. . After ac complishing this purpose, and succeeding in getting UNO to allow Moscow to deal separate lv with a nro-communism Iranian prime min ister installed at Teheran for the purpose Russia withdrew her Greek charges against Bevin. The Indonesian charges she continued to press, keeping Britain on the defensive. The common current belief that Bevin may have found a way of treating with Moscow, therefore is unjustified. He twice passed "the lie" to them and they backed down, true enough. But when you add up the results, you will see Russia won the action she .wanted from UNO, while Bevin won nothing except the red herring. Emulation of Bevin by us, then, would not answer the question of how to deal with Moscow. President Truman, meanwhile, is recognizing that the army seems to know how to get along with the Soviets, without losing their shirts, better than our timid and confused diplomats. Interested In Results ARMY men, by nature, should be more in terested in results than in the political ideas of justice for this and that, which have so confused our-diplomats in recent years. (Latest example: Joe Davies, who thinks Russian spying on Canada justified, but no doubt would cry out against any Canadian spying on . Russia, whereas any realist knows all nations have always spied on all others and always will.) This new reliance on army realism is the .most hopeful development in American foreign policy, in contrast to these childish but pompous accumulations of vaporous generalities the state department plans to put out under the claim that they are great state pronouncements. I mean it is most important, if a recent pro nouncement by Mrs. Roosevelt does not out- measure it. Mrs. Roosevelt has been recognized as a spokesman for the class-thought which pressured Byrnes into the appeasement policy, causing him to retreat from his resistance estab lished at the London council of foreign min isters last summer. She has counseled a giving policy and believed realism to be red-baiting. But to the American soldier in Germany, after a little personal experience in dealing with Russia herself at UNO, she gave this formula for treating the communists: Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do. SIDE GLANCES com. me iv ma sikvki. inc. t. m. mo. u. s, mt: qtr.

February 25 BERLIN, Feb. 25 You have to see the ruins of Berlin to get even a smattering of the truth about what the war has done to the world's fourth largest city. This column the other day described the destruction of the great Rhur- land industrial city of Essen, which literally was torn to nieces bv bombs but MacKENZIE which still clings to life and, amazing to relate, has a popula tion of some 365,000 existing among the ruins. Berlin is a vastly magnified Essen mile upon mile of heaps of rubble and shattered walls which once were homes, business houses, churches and oublic institutions. In this desolation are hundreds of thousands of cave dwellers. Of course, here and there you see a building in which the dam age is relatively slight. Mrs. Mack and I have been living in one of these. Children are go ing to school in one of the worst schoolrooms that youngsters ever saw, and there are studying their new denazified reacun ana writin' and 'rithmetic. Courts because they are given a ration of food and fuel by civilized conquerors. To be sure, some Berlmers are engaged in gain ful employment ior the occupa tion authorities, but theso folks are comparatively few, and their earnings don't benefit them greatly because there isn't much to buy excepting ironi me uimn. market lceciies who charge stag gering prices. For the most part you see these "cave" people try ing to make their habitation)! more livable, standing in queues for their rations or making their way out into the country to pick up bits of wood In the forests to supplement their slender fuel supply. Well now, you'd think theso followers of Hillcrism were as thoroughly beaten as a pcoplo could be, and in one sense they are. They are beaten physically, and those who have undergone the horrors of bombing and actual battle are In" a very chastened mood. But as I have remarked in previous reports from Germany, I don't believe the Germans as a whole are beaten mentally. When they re cover from their shell shock and economic chaos they will be heading for further conquests unless something elves them a spiritual change meantime. Different Situation ?The first time I was in Ger many was at the end of World War I. The difference between the situation then and now was that in the first conflict the Germans didn't suffer actual contact with war on their home soil. They were in tho main cabin Is occupied by Zclla Behnc. Sunday the department true was called out at 11:42 a. m. when a false alarm was received from Ewnuna Box company. At 0:24 p. m. the truck ran to tho William Peoples' residence at rm N. 3rd. when a flue fire threatened the structure. There I was little damage. More than 200 new types of radio tubes were developed dur ing the war. j o . m. dearlel llealltr, News ttrlfl Around TH t3t ttlllbl flane' 1;oa lUrtrjf J. Tar'ar 7:1 Kvaainf a'ertcefl I II I I.e.
