Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
IN the March issue of the American magazine,
J. 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.

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.

BERN. Switzerland. March R
Letters are arriving from read
ers who are nnxlous to tour Eu
rope and want
udvico on how
to Ko about It.
That's a pro
ject for which
your globe

luivo the tmnio
urge and It
er as wo nro- MacKENZIE
coed on the great adventuro of
watching the rebirth of a conti
nent. It's a mre privilege to wit
ness this epochal metamorphosis
at clo.o range.
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.
