Member, Associated Press Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY KLAMATH county citizens bought $14,114,978 in E bonds in the period from 1941 through 1945. The treasury department rates that as $378.32 per capita, although we are not informed as to what popu lation figure for the county was used in the computation. (Some pretty, weird population Information has been put out on Klamath county by govern ment as well as other sources in the last few years.) Under the treasury ratings, this county ranks 17th in the state's 36 counties in per fnnlfn hnnri nurohases. That may come as somewhat of a EPLEY surprise to folks who have thought Klamath was right up at the top. We can take neighborly pride in what our friends in Lake county did in this rating business. Lake people purchased $2,785,450 in bonds, for a per capita average of $508.01, and ranked sixth in the state. 'Klamath far outshone Jackson, its neighbor on the west, and is also up on Deschutes to the north.

Union Wallowa 'Wasco Washington Wheeler Yamhill Total By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 6 State Secretary Byrnes has been more friendly to the Soviets on the inside than in the public view. He has been active in off-the-roeord talks with newsmen to press the point that this govern-' ment had nothing whatever to do with the atom-spy case against Russia, presented by Canada. Mr. Byrnes has claimed lie and Mr. Truman did jiot in any way cooperate with .e month, m m Canada, and knew nothing of w.hat was afoot, " yer $aoo aside from a mention of the matter, months ago, when prime Minister Mackenzie King suggested the evidence he had then at hand to the president. This was during the Attlee visit to Washington last fall. The mere men tion a few days ago that Americans might have been involved in the investigation of possible loss of their own secret through Can ada, sent him into spasms of off-the-record dismay and denial. The reporter who asked him the question upon the basis of information obtained from Canada, had to explain his source apologetically. In the world of diplomacy beyond the public eye then, Byrnes has firmly established himself in the position that he is a neutral as between Bevin and Moscow. He has been urging the press to "stop picking on Russia." Change Coming ABOUT a week ago, I heard rumblings from the Byrnes sanctum that a firming of American policy toward Russia was at hand. Since then, he has criticized Russian tactics in the Far East himself publicly, thus causing newsmen to grumble that his policy now is to let no one criticize except himself. But personally I believe a change is coming. Mr. Byrnes was not accomplishing anything the way he was going. His activities were not popular in congress where his appropriations are being cut. He built up this winter a new policy based largely on saying "yes" to Russia and caused all America (indeed, the world) to start wondering what would happen the first time he would say "no." A world order built on yeses' can last no longer than the first two. As the people could plainly see, the flimsi ness of the card-house of peace which Byrnes had been building, some currency has been granted rumors of war by some people one widely circulated holds Russia will invade Tur key and Britain will go to her assistance; an other that communist fighting in China will bring us to her aid. These rumors wholly ignore the fact that we have demobilized and the British are not strong enough to fight anyone in the rumored zones of the Near East and China. If these suggestions of Russian aggression have any soundness at all or even remote possibilities we are not only pursuing an ineffective foreign policy, but the wrong mili tary policy. Pearl Harbor should have taught us to be less sleepy or rather to be less self centered in our own hopes, thoughts and prob lems, to the exclusion of what the other fellow is thinking and doing. It Has Not Demobilized RUSSIA has not demobilized. We do not know much of what is going on inside Russia herself, but our official eye has seen that the 2,000,000 Russian troops in the occupied zones, unlike our troops, do not wish to go home. Apparently they like it better outside. Also for many months, Russia has had a for midable army on the Manchurian border or in North China, and on the Turkish border. I do not anticipate war. It is unthinkable that Moscow would embark upon Hitleresque ag gressions. Like people generally, I resolve all doubts in favor of what I want, and do not feel it comfortable- to expect war. Yet the plain inner and outer facts today show me that I must prepare or be ready for what I do not want, these facts of today can be simply summarized in two conclusions: A satisfactory way of dealing with Russia has not yet been found. Until it is found, we can have no confidence in the peace. Therefore, a reconsideration not only of for eign policy, but of related military and do mestic tactics, would seem to be a primary order of pending government business. Per , Capita .

There are hundreds of cars daily passing over this overpass and a large number of pedes trians. There are numerous holes pitted in the roadway that iui with greasy water during rainy and snowy weather. Pedes trians crossing this overpass are constantly having clothes splat- terea wnn greasy, muddy water which is almost impossible to get out. ; About once a year the city gives this road a half-baked patching job and then forgets the matter until it becomes almost impassable again. In the mean time, pedestrians have to try and dodge pitholes between cars in order to get across without hav ing their clothes ruined. Inasmuch as it is tint nnlv Visid for the pedestrians but also the cars passing over it, I would sug gest more frequent attention be paid to the condition of this over pass. Yours truly, FRANK C. MATTHEWS, 2021 Wantland Ave. P. S. This is not just a person al complaint. Numerous other people have talked to me at vari ous times wondering why some thing was not done. V KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.

February Postal Receipts Down The World Today By D.WITT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler MacKENZIE BERN, March 6 Switzer land's fixed policy of absolute neutrality, which has existed in principle for some four and a half centur ies, raises a tough problem in her rela tions with the United Na tions organiza tion, which thus far hasn't ann o u n c e d any method whereby mem bership can be accorded to neutrals as such, that is, states that claim special exemptions. We are likely to hear a good deal about this before long be cause the question seems bound to arise whether Switzerland is to be given preferential treat ment. The Swiss will tell you they're anxious to cooperate with other nations in maintain ing peace. They hope that the UNO will find some method whereby at least a modified membership can be accorded. But they would about as soon give up one of their beloved Alps as their neutrality, and if you will glance at your maps of Europe you will begin to see why. Switzerland lies in the heart of the continent and it is the crossroads of the shortest routes irom north to south and from west to east. That puts this little country of some 16.000 sonar nuies aeciaealy on the spot, perwiea as ii is on its mountains among Germany, France and Italy. Trouble among the major powers always means grave dan ger for invasion for Switzerland. But that's not tho whole story. The population of the Swiss fed eration of 22 cantons is -drawn chiefly from three races Ger man, French and Italian. Ger man is spoken by about two mil lions, French by close to a mil lion and Italian by the balance. (Switzerland's population at the 1941 census totaled 4,265, 703.) Now one can sec with half an eye that if Switzerland had abandoned her neutrality in a! war involving France, Germany or Italy, she not only would have invited invasion but likely would have caused heartburn ings among her own people. In deed, internal troubles might have resulted. This should be qualified by pointing out that in the second World war the Swiss were against nazlsm and fas cism, but this fact doesn't alter the general proposition. As the Swiss put their cose, they have full confidence in the allied leaders who fought for the liberty of the world. They would gladly accept an invitation to join the UNO if abandonment of neutrality were not involved, but as things now stand the question would have to be sub mitted to the Swiss people in a plebiscite. The consensus here is that the answer would be "No." G. P. Leader Visits Legion R. W.

S. postal receipts for Klam ath Falls amounted to $15,682.34 for February, 1946. This is a de crease of $3845.04 under re ceipts for the same month in 1945, when receipts amounted to $19,527.38. The decrease in receipts is at- iriDuted Dy postmaster Burt ii. Hawkins, to the reduced number of service personnel overseas and evaauating of military installa tions here. It is interesting to note, however, he said, that Feb ruary, 1946, receipts topped those for February. 1944, by $2107.83.
