Edgar Hoover says the U. S. is in for a serious crime wave, and the Klamath country , has promptly furnished an il lustration more apt than any picture in the magazine. The brutal slaying and rob bery at Tulelake brings us . smash up against the cold : , probability of a campaign of violent crime, here and else where, in this period of post war confusion and readjust ment. Hoover says it's going to be bad, and he warns it will be worse if ordinary de cent citizens are indifferent and non-cooperative with law agencies. The FBI chief makes Quite a point out of public insistence on high standards for law enforcement outfits. He says he is not in favor of a national police force he thinks law enforcement agencies, in the main, should be locally constituted, locally responsible, and re sponsive to local sentiment. But he thinks that sentiment ought to demand high stand ards,; adequate police pay and resistance to corruptive influences. Moral Regeneration HE'S right, of course, and we go a step further to suggest the importance of strengthening public sentiment against little crime as well as big crime. There's not much difference between them, and when the public is indifferent toward minor violations, it helps pave the way for something worse. One of the worst crime eras in American history was in the years of prohibition. This wasn't entirely due to the simple fact that . prohibition made contraband a commodity for which there was a great public demand, and illegal forces battled violently for the market. - It was to a considerable degree due to the fact that thousands of otherwise decent citizens became routine violators of the law. Crime ran rampant in a country in which a large . portion of the population was regularly and without conscience breaking local, state and federal laws and one of the amendments to the American constitution. An easy attitude in THIS period toward CERTAIN of our laws will help generate big time crime and criminals. It will be easier to corrupt our police forces, it will be easier to find' crooked criminal lawyers, it will be easier for guilty men to win acquittals from slack-conscience juries. The fundamental answer to it all is moral regeneration a matter which received so much attention from Philosopher Will Durant in a talk here recently. He warned that unless we ' strengthen our moral defenses all along the ' line we are in for a lot of trouble and violent crime will be only part of it. That may seem a long way from the slaying of a nightwatchman to obtain a $10,000 week end take from a state line tavern; but take a look at the implications and ask yourself if it is so far, after all? lals and men will permit or a reasonable ap proximation In general thereof. However, tele phone service is a monopoly. If the citizen cannot get service on one line, he cannot walk across the street and try another. The company has a monopoly of the business; the workers have a monopoly of the work with their unions. This imposes upon them a public re sponsibility beyond other businesses and other workers, to perform their public service ef ficiently. I am not now considering the strike threat issue. I have not investigated merits or de merits of opposing contentions. Yet your house may burn to the ground causing you great and needless loss, if fire calls are not handled promptly because of strike, negligence, inefficiency or any other reason. Deaths may be caused by delays of a few moments in am bulances, operations or blood transfusions. Rob bers may make good escapes. All the property as well as the very life of the citizen rests heavily upon the efficiency of this single means of swift communications between people. . No company and no group of workers have tlve right to cause damage and death among the people as a whole for any reason, whether just or unjust. To do so is a violation of every natural law of man and common decency. With the right of monopoly in business andor work (closed shop) goes a public responsibility which cannot be ignored or avoided for any human purpose. ...': Phone, Airmail Undependable I WAS forced to muse upon these serious con siderations of vital (inalienable?) rights, by my minor experiences of trying to handle my comparatively unimportant business through telephone, telegraph and airmail while away from my office for a few weeks. I found the telephone and airmail wholly undependable. The airmail, of course, is a government monop oly and inefficiency is to be expected from'' past experience. But I found that airmail special delivery letters, mailed at the same time each day at the same point of origin, would arrive at their destination on schedule only one time out of three. The other two times, the mail would be from one to two days late. I understood then why so many newspapers were complaining about late ar rival of mail copy. The post office has plainly failed to recover yet from the war. Telephoning became an idle but interesting amusement. Each occasion furnished something novel. Out of 10 calls to Washington, I eventual ly eot three throueh. One was prompt. The other resulted from an hour of effort to get a supervisor, who put it through for me, after my original call and the operators promise to "call you back in 20 minutes both bad be come lost so deeply that no one around the exchange had heard of it. The third call in the afternoon was completed the following morn ing. The others never got through for reasons which are not reportable authoritatively by me, but I was told a variety of things: "There will be a delay of 30 to 40 minutes," or "Your line is busy." and then a few seconds later: "It does not answer." I could never find out why it could be busy and then in a few seconds did not answer. I soon found complaining ac complished nothing. Electrical noises would erupt in the phone and deafen my ear if even suggested such a thing to myself. The only way you could get a supervisor was to work through a friendly operator on a private switchboard who could make just as loud noises as the telephone monopoly. SIDE GLANCES My ' . -x cox tttt tt ma tvict me i ii m u wi w 3-g "This medicine cabinet certainly is full if somebody in the family isn't ill soon, I'll have to throw out some uol ties to make room for new remedies I've henrd nbnul I" News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 5 The degeneration of the superior American efficiency in business into something like Europe before the dictators where trains did not run on time, telephone service was whimsical and telegraph messages and airmail might be expected to arrive two- or three days late was observed painfully by me in my trip down through the southeastern states. The railroads are not yet a monopoly in this country. Perhaps the people are getting from them as good 'service as the deficiency of mater- Telegraph Service Better THE sending of a telegram I found to be less of an adventure, and could be done in less than a day. In fact, I have only one complaint against the telegraph monopoly (they apparently gave my telegram to the wrong party on the phone). I will say telegraph serv ice is at least better than when the Postal vacated the field. But what of the people who deal in import ant figures of money, men or perishable ma terials? This is a big nation dealing daily in big matters. What of the national labor leaders trying to call off strikes, being unable to get their calls through these present communica tions monopolies of ours? What of finance and commodity market telephones, telegraph and mail, where dollars hang on minutes? How many millions of dollars of loss is there a day from the national economy due to the break down of our old efficient communications? How much news is made so late as to be useless? Someone should think . about these matters somewhere in authority. If the rights of monopolies to public service, and unions to work these for their own interests, are to con tinue, the right of the public will have to be asserted and maintained above both, to assure the kind of service the public demands in its superior interests.

However, the very fact that this is one of the greut i-luuiKes of the ages, and that It is being staged in the midst of unprece dented destruction, Is fair warn ing that observers must expect to encounter ninny difficulties and hardships. 1 don't say this to discourage those who would see for themselves, but only to give them a friendly tip, so that they may be prepared. There are European countries which are looking forward eagerly to a renewal of tourist trade, Among them is Switzer land, which Is mnking special plans to accommodate visitors. But there are many others which aro too badly hurt to be nble to deal with any great influx of tourists for a very considerable time, and in these countries the traveler encounters harsh diffi culties. Therefore, our advice to would-bo tourists is to consult the consulates or embassies of the countries which they wish to visit to determine whether It's a suitable time. In most cases you probnbly will be advised not to undertake tho trip beforo warm weather arrives, even If a wel come is held out after that time. One Important item to remem ber is that touring in Europe is devilishly expensive. Don't start out with the idea that you can do it cheaply and still havo ade quate food and lodging. Tho rea son, of course, is that thcro is a fircat shortngo of food and hous ng in most countries. There Is scarcity of coul which Is tragic in many areas. Communications are disorganized and there Is such a lack of rolling stock that travel is a gamble, with the odds all against the tourist. Naturally the objective of most visitors the devastated area of Germany Is unattain able at present by the average traveler. I Hero is neither food nor shelter to spare, though tho conquered territories presum ably will bo opened up In duo course. Stromborg -Carlson Radios. Darby's Music Co. Tuesday.
