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. - -

indulging in a wish rather than
any strong expectation that such

" 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

calculations.

Our town has a
Housing Shortage
Tes, sir, there's a real housing
shortage in our town, as I guess
there is in yours, too.
Keefer Cole, for instance, Is
sharing his home with a brother-in-law
from Connecticut. Six chil
dren and a dog in one family; four
children -and three cats in the
other.
I asked Keefer how they got along
together especially the grown
ups. Didn't they get a little edgey
from the noise and crowding?
Keefer looks at me with a twin
kle. "Sure," he says. "And when
that happens, Sara and I just pass
around four sparkling glasses of
good beer... and that reminds
everybody that there are still a lot
of friendly, gracious pleasures that
can help us make the best of
things."
From where I sit, H's great to be
able to relax during this strain of
postwar living with a beverage
that's truly moderate and whole
some, truly friendly.

Onlv 40 of Klamath's dairymen remain!

' Now that the war is over, dairymen do not feel obligated to produce

;Dear Hit. 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,

O.P.A. PRICE POLICY

FOR KLAMATH
Fresh bottled milk will soon Wos rare os butter! 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. Study the reasons
for today's serious milk shortage.
