Wednesday night brings an official close to the sprawling layout of Jrame and tarpaper buildings south ot luieiaKe, scene of one of the most interesting and at times exciting chapter ot fSK World War II. We won't go into the de tails of that story at the mo ment, but in passing it's worthy of comment that the Tulelake WR A .center served eminently as an educational project for the people of the Klamath basin. Location of the center in the southend of the basin gave people here a close-at-hand look, first at fjovernment con struction meinoas, mm ituer at administration policies and techniques of a iederal agency. It was, in short, an eye-opener ' It was through the people of the Klamath basin that public opinion, was brought to bear on the civilian WRA agency in the operation of this center for disloyal Japanese. The open criticism expressed by Klamath people of cer tain administrative policies helped to bring about a more realistic administration of the project.. Much of that criticism was voiced in this column. . At the same time, we have never over looked the serious and delicate problems which were involved in this unprecedented wartime enterprise, and we feel that credit is due those WRA officials who have done their best in dif ficult jobs down there. They made their mis takes, and there were mistakes in policy handed down from above. But it would be unfair to belittle the efforts of those who worked con scientiously ' to carry this unpleasant task through to the end. . How Ir Is Listed CONTRARY to a statement made here earlier in the week, we are informed by M. E. Arbuckle, CAA man at Klamath airport, that the local field is included in the notices to '' airmen put out by the CAA. Mr. Arbuckle says that the Klamath field is listed in the notices as Klamath naval air sta tion, with a notation to the effect that it is , closed except for emergency landings, and the lights will be turned on at night only for ; emergency use upon request. Incidentally, the notices to airmen are now put out on a bi weekly instead of a weekly basis. This CAA notation that the Klamath field it closed except for emergency indicates the need for 'working out in the immediate future an arrangement whereby this fine big field is made available for full use. to have been broken all along the line. The settlement mentions no book inspection and the initial statements avoided also the subject of wages and profits. Indeed, the government an nounced just before the break that any future auto price increases would be made retroactive and could bo collected from the. consumer after the sale which suggests there may be price in creases despite the union announcement to the contrary, CIO Spell Of Domination THE CIO spell of domination has therefore been broken but for how long? Motors got a two year contract, but Schwellcnbach sug gested it provided reopening of wage considera tions in one year. The steel settlement was for one year. The pattern of all other current labor agreements is similarly one year, based also on the' same wage increase. They plainly allow, therefore, for reopening the general strike campaign at that time. , Is this basic settlement then but a one year truce in the CIO campaign to create a supra business dictatorship? Will all the familiar pressures of CIO upon business and government be renewed 12 months hence in the same revolu tionary form, or even stronger form? These are the questions which the settlement left lurking in the minds of thinking people and explains why the nation's cheering was consid erably short of enthusiastic. No Solution Achieved THE agreements failed a permanent promise of continued production in short a solution. But it certainly represents the first important progress toward that goal in many a past year. For one tiling managements did not cave in timidly in the face of pressures to. absorb it, but broke them. General Motors stood its ground and thus pointed the way toward a new and democratic technique for management which has been on the run for a long time. Also it beat the strategic union plan to isolate it from its competitors. Ford and Chrysler could not take advantage of GM's troubles be cause they could not get basic materials for production. Furthermore, the union scheme to bring in Kaiser as a new motors manufacturer, and have him go, to the White House and an nounce his acceptance of the union proposals and become champion for CIO, did not break the . company position. The orders of govern ment which would hae put the company under the union thumb likewise were resisted. These developments mark progress in the reconversion of the nation to genuine demo cratic peacetime ways of freedom from domina-ition. What is needed next is the development of an era of good feeling in labor relations in which unions will become unions again, and not as pirants for directorship of business and civil affairs. Then we will be truly reconverted to democracy. SIDE GLANCES South Road Story This la the second Installment of the story of the open ing . . ....... am road in 1846. as related some 40 years later by Lindsay Applegate. noted pioneer and mem ber of the South Road party. In thia story. Lindsay is telling the yarn to two boys. Frank: Applegate and Ed Loosley. in the old farm house on Lone Rock ranch In Swan Lake about 1800. In Saturday s Installment, the party of 15 South Road explorers prepared to set out on the journey from western Oregon, to open a read to Fort Hall, in Idaho, through southern Oregon. Now, pick up the story, with Lindsay talking to the boys: ' News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 18 The volume of national cheering was suspiciously limited at the breaking of the key strikes in motors and ; electrics. Labor Secretary Schwellenbach emit ted one long hurrah, but the initial statements from both sides were definitely vague and com pletely unenthusiastic, while the nation's cheer ing section as a whole seemed more concerned . about asking who won and what it all meant. No one won. The deeper my Inauiries led me to the inside of the matter, the clearer it became that the auto strike deadlock was not a matter of dif ference in wages,, or "manpower," or any other advertised details of the conflict but involved one single question. That question was whether the CIO was to be . a supra-business directorate in the same way it has sought to become a supra-government in plainer language: was CIO to be the boss and ! run the business, as it has attempted to be boss of government and run it. Clearly CIO lost ground on that proposition. Its initial plan was to open the company books, determine company profits by this and future . wage demands and make the concern sub servient to union-economics by preventing the company from getting any price increase to meet these demands, the pressure moves appear By ELIZABETH BUTLER LOOSLEY ON June 20th we gathered at La Creolenow Dallas and that day gained where Cor vallis now is. We enjoyed this part of the journey; we struck a valley, followed it and campea at uie root oi tne Laia- a? -i puuia mountains. Two days later, still follow ing the foot of these same moun tains, we passed a butte called Spencer and it was here on the south side that we first sighted Indians; they were digging camas. They scattered like a flock of quail, with the excep tion of one old man who moved so slowly that we caught up with him. By use of signs he understood and led us to a trail. We noticed the tree and brush tons WPrp twistpri anrl learned the trail was so diffi- L- Applegate cult to follow that the natives had marked it this way. With this to guide us, we found a stream on the Umpqua side; the ground was carpeted with strawberries and what a feast we had. As I recall, it was the 23rd of June when we pressed across grassy oak-clad hills and through little gullies to the north Umpqua river. Here we got soaked. The river bottom was made up of loose rock in which the horses could not get a foothold. Our campfire felt good Jhat night. The next day was a hard one too. Starting early, we struck the south branch of the Umpqua coming in from the east. The river here is sixty yards wide at least. We'd had a day of it so made early camp.

The World Today By Do WITT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler MacKENZIE By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler VIENNA, March 18 Dr Karl Rentier, president of this storm-tossed little republic, tells me he believes that "the great hope for Aus tria is Vienna i itself." "V i e n n a," says the dic tator, "is des tined to be the internatio n a 1 center of cul ture. Vienna has so many trea s u r e s of old culture that it will be forever a Doint for sightseers. It is a base for air transport. If you want to see Europe in three days, come to Vienna, all is here. "Vienna knows nearly all the languages of importance. That's the good heritage of the old mon archy. We don't want to restore the monarchy, but wo arc proud to be its cultural heir." ' From this it will be clear that the silver-haired chief of state, with his benign countenance and twinkling eyes, is by way of be ing a smooth salesman. He in jected this lure for tourists into a long interview which I had with him at the chancellery on Austria's general position and her hopes, and he did' it so adroitly that it was as fitting as a new hat for Easter. Study Damage) As a matter of fact I was glad Dr. Renner raised this subject, because it impelled Mrs. Mack and me to re-examine the capi tal with an expert guide to make a fresh assay of the damage sus tained in the siege towards the close of the war. Of course, Vien na was terribly hurt by bombing and gunfire, but a city is like the human body it can endure grievous injuries and recover without showing many scars. Now I don't want to inject any over optimistic language in- Pappy's Ex Changes Mind ' SEATTLE, March 18 (VP) Mrs. Helen Boyington, ex-wife of Lt. Col. Gregory (Pappy) Boyington, the marine ace, said last night . her marriage to George L. Gil bert, 38, Seattle newspaper ven dor, reported earlier yesterday, was definitely off. Mrs. Boyington announced she has changed her mind after ap plying here Saturday for a , license to marry Gilbert. She told the Post-Intelligenoer last night, "I'm not getting married because of my health. It is all over with. I don't feel well enough to get married now, and I don t know when 1 will. tSitmfiiriujr;riitHfimii!irinirj!fni!iitnHn!iriinijrirJni!mjfi(iip!!!'!ii!iiTiirT7!Wir.i3 Wotch for the OPENING OF SUNSET LODGE nighwar 7, 1,4 Mile South of Fort Klamath Junction to this dispatch. Vienna is lienv Ily damaged, but when wo havo emphasized that point it can bo added that relatively speaking she came through her o r d c n 1 pretty well. As compared with lierlm, lor example, tne nuit trinn canital is in Hood shape, Berlin is just a shell of its once proud self and must be rebuilt from the ground up a task of many, many years but Vien na's duiraiKe can be repaired in many important instances. You get encouragement for that idea if you make your way around the Ringstrasse, fnmous as a promenade in days or peace. Along that boulevard stand many of Vienna's noted build ings and it's surprising what a large number have survived tho bombardment, in wholo or In part. A good deal of repair work already is under way, too, so that you feci the pulse of life, whereas in cities like Berlin, where there has been virtually total destruction, you don't need to be told that they are dead. Vienna's visions of tourists are by no means a mirage, but she has many problems to solve besides the lack of bricks and mortar before those visions con come fully true. Her most press ing difficulty and this is true of most of the country is the grave scarcity of food. Many people in Austria are hungry. In some sections they are trying to subsist on as little as 700 calor ies a day, and that's far below the level that will support neaitn. . Funds Needed To Lay Cable PORTLAND, March 18 (VP) An estimated $10,000 is needed to lay a new electric power cable to Crater Lake National Park lodge to provide power for the lodge this summer, a Port land chamber of commerce of ficial said today. Frank W. Womack reported the park superintendent had ad vised the cable had been pur chased but no funds allowed for laying it. The only alternative would be a portable power unit for the lodge, Womack reported. llW Phone Venetian Blinds Patterson Furniture 230 Main Sam needs a shave to go with this atomic age.
