. ft-- J If u h FRANK JENKINS Editor MALCOLM EPLKY MallMlna Editor Mtmtxr, AxoolaUd Pra Member Audit Bureau ClrcuUUon Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY OREGON is not the only stale that is look ing at military installations with the idea Of establishing eaucaiionai a-mni wui;. Several other states are pressing proposals such as has been advanced for the Marine Barracks, though Ore gon may have been first in the field. It seems that a number of other states are more actively ot work in behalf of their pro jects than is Oregon, where there has been a tendency to dilly-dally and where certain i,A,b-i;,irT thi ffnrls nf sincere EPLEY officials trying to meet an emergency educa tional problem. Some of our journalistic brethren are still fostering the fiction that this is all a Klamath Falls promotional scheme, despite full public disclosure of the origin of the idea and the course of its support and progress. Among these critics, there ,is an apparent re sistance to information about the need for facil ities which cannot possibly be supplied in time at the established institutions, and about the ability of the Klamath installation to meet that need. The hasty expressions of veterans on the Uni-. versity of Oregon campus was a remarkable demonstration along that line. A certain high official is reported to have said he was somewhat dubious about the pro posal at first; after he received the protesting arguments he became convinced the scheme was sound. . Ashland Is Fair ONE of the fairest expressions from an Ore gon community on the Barracks plan came from Ashland. That city is the home of the Southern Ore gon college of education, and on the face of the proposal might well consider the Bar- s racks plan a threat to the welfare of its own institution. But Ashlanders held their fire until they could get some information. They talked the proposition over with Edgar Smith, member of the state board of higher education, who visited that city after an inspection tour of the Barracks and a meeting of the state education board here. . ' Ashland then made a pronouncement that it did not object to the education center here if it were established on a temporary basis and did not take funds from the established schools. That was fair enough. ' . -. ' .-. Unity Needed ; " . ; THE federal government with its myriad agencies is' difficult to deal with in a situa tion of this kind. .To get the best possible proposition' for Oregon has taken a lot of ' work, and will take a lot more. i Those people, who are working on it deserve support and encouragement in their efforts. They need the united interest of Oregon people to realize on this opportunity to meet a serious problem. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 14 Now that the Truman-Byrnes leadership has decided to take a stand for our way of life around the world, a new type of propaganda is beginning to appear in the news. Quotations from the Chicago round table talk of our atom scientists last Sunday showed they expressed such views as . . . "The United States is waving its fists" . . . "It is tragic that this 1 nation has the atom bomb" . "There should be no secrets in the hands of the military." These present a completely erroneous, un reasonable and absurd distortion of the' facts of the situation. Have you seen anyone In this entire nation waving any fists, much less our government? No one wants war; no one , is advocating it directly or Indirectly. A strong diplomatic game is being played for our way of life, and such extreme distortions of it at to call it "fist waving" work our people into false beliefs. It is fully as unreasonable to assume that It is "tragic" that we, a peace loving nation advocat ing freedom of individuals and all nations, have control of the bomb. We should thank God we have it instead of aggressive nations with ambitions for control of people and their freedom. Making Inroads In Russia SO any reasonable person must be led to the conclusion the new stronger Truman-Byrnes stand for the cooperative way of cToIng things is making inroads in Russia, bringing her now to defense of the UNO she has refrained from entering wholeheartedly. And can any thoughtful person think our government, our people or even our military is "militaristic?" It is not militaristic political ly, as are the armies of totalitarian nations. It is demobilizing. It is not invading anyone. Its whole military theory is defense, not ag gression. Is there any reasonable man any where who really can believe this line of Rus sian propaganda, as presented by Pravda direct ly and indirectly in various ways by some of our own thoughtless people? The power, in. our way of life, rests upon the thoughts of our people. We are. involved in a sharp diplomatic game which is not of our making. If our people are misled into accept ing erroneous and misleading news and opin ions, our power for good is weakened. Our national influence for good declines to whatever extent our people accept these conclusions, and it will fall completely if our people accept 'them fully. We do not need censorship. That is the unreasonable, undemocratic way. But we do require that the people get the facts in the face of plain attempts to influence their judg ment and corrupt their free minds. . Russian Secrets RUSSIA, which the scientists had in mind, not only has military secrets, but' civil, political and every other kind of secret, behind her complete censorship. The scientists never ad vocated that she -drop her isolationism and open up. to armament inspection, as UNO pro vides. In the face of the adamant Russian position, these scientists make a feeble assault ' upon average intelligence to say we should disclose our secrets. Then, simultaneously a reputable New York . gossip columnist, professes to present Stalin's, thoughts (which are completely censored from all the rest of. the world including our diplo mats.) He reports: "Stalin's top advisors are discussing quitting the UNO" .. . . and "Stalin's belief is that militarists here (United States) are deliberately building up a case against Russia to get continuance of the draft and other wartime powers." There should be . a law against gossip columnists writing on inter national or- diplomatic subjects, because-. 'they are the easiest of all dupes for foreign propa-' ganda, and are so often used (innocently; T, may assume in most instances; in diplomatic cat and mouse games to scare and deceive jour people. . 5, '! They should know Russia has the draf- of teen agers for. compulsory military training already in effect, but. they neglect to mention this. Furthermore Pravda, the official Russian mouthpiece, said upon the Very same day the . first strong kind words about UNO that I have heard of being circulated within isolated Russia. Up to this, Moscow has been reluctant and suspicious of UNO, being lured into it only by Mr. Roosevelt going repeatedly to see Stalin and by being urged into San Francisco arrange ments. Thereafter she sent only a second rate man to its first meeting in London. - - The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE i A?

" No Withdrawal Been While the British, Fronch and Americans might bo prepared to pull out under a four-power agreement, I've found no Indica tion that the Russians would subscribe to any such procedure at an early date. The signs have been that the Muscovites figure a long period of control In Aus tria to be necessary. Certainly there will be no withdrawal un less all four participate. I found General Clark viewing the Austrian position from a horse-sense standpoint based on a wide knowledge of the whole European problem. Wo covered a lot of territory In our conver sationand his vision reaches fur beyond the borders of his personal command. It's my guess, too, that more than a bit of the humanitarian Is Involved In Ins calculations.

Trice: V With reference to your reply to our telegram of March 1, 1946, we wish to advise your office that we have made definite plans to divert our supply of market milk to other channels effective on the morning ol March 16, unless the price structure is corrected as outlined in our telegram. Over three years ago the Klamath Dairy Association representatives met -with OPA officials from the Portland office to discuss the need for. a raise in the price of milk. At that time about half of our local producers declared that unless an immediate price raise was granted that they would be forced to sell their herds. No relief came and these men sold their herds. About a year later we asked for relief by letter to your Portland office and at that time about half of the remaining dairymen declared that they would bo forced to sell their herds, unless there was a raise in the prices. No relief came and they sold their herds. Over 90, of these cows going into the California market leaving this milk shed entirely, Those people were able to purchase these cows because they received considerable more for their products than we are permitted to get here. At our meeting of March 1st, this year, practically all of the remaining dairymen-stated that unless an immediate price raise came they would be forced to go out of the dairy business. In 1938 it was estimated there were over 7500 dairy cows in this milk shed. Today it Is estimated there are . less than 3,000. This cannot go on indefinitely. - It is going to take years to build back our dairy herds to supply our local demand. This time we have decided it Is time for us to take action on our own to try to savo the remaining dairy , herds If possible, as we are still producing milk nt the same price we were getting for quite some time prior to the time tho price freeze took effect, while prices of all commodities, including labor, that we have had to purchase, has Increased from. 60 to 200, With respect to your request .for additional time to study tho cost structure it cannot be granted because it Is now time to break ground for. other crops that arc profitable. .Unless we know immediately this price will come we are positive that these herds will be sold to the California market. The pasture and hay land supporting the herds will be plowed up and planted to other arops. If this is permitted it would be impossible to put the fields ; back into producing for dairy uses in less than two or more years. . Yours very truly, '' :.'

This Is no exaggeration. ' The government's price policy on dairy products during the past four years has disillusioned American dairy farmers. Doirymen connot continue to produce milk of present prices becousc of increasing costs of labor, feed and equipment. They arc selling their cows. They are turning to other crops. The entire dairy industry and your doily supply of milk will soon disap pear unless the price policy of the O.P.A. is corrected. The milk problem is your responsibility.
