A highway department informed , J us that the South Sixth widen- 'Vj ng is scheduled for bid-open- !'!! lng on April 4, and if an ac- ' ceptable bid is received, a i ' milestone in local highway '"! construction will have been :'( reached. ! ia Four-laning of this busy !) thoroughfare will extend from - a point near the viaduct to S the AHamont bridge. The 1 plan also calls for sidewalk if, construction. The two lea- ,i tures four lanes for motor traffic and side walks will go far in removing hazards to , life and limb from one of the most dangerous it suburban streets in the state. 4; A sideline development now being planned $ is a privately-financed lighting scheme for the i1 south side of South Sixth street from Altamont I drive to Washburn way. Swan Lake Moulding I company has taken the lead in this project, and other property owners along there are cooperat 5 . ing. '. South Sixth is in effect a section of two im- portant state highways Klamath Falls-Lake- ! view and Klamath Falls-Hatfield. It connects !this city with the highly developed southeast suburban area, with the busy southend country, with the Bonanza area and eastern Klamath county, with Lakeview, with Alturas and with 3 Reno. No wonder it has carried more traffic than it could safely or conveniently accommodate : for 15 years or more. : Briefs From The Pocket File .J IXFLW has received an okeh from the FCC for M 1 IV its equipment tests late this week, and if J "everything goes' well, may be on the air Sun- day evening . . .

News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 19 The with drawal of Mr. Truman's friend, Edwin Pauley, was arranged at a midnight meeting of four senators. It was quite a significant meeting from a democratic party standpoint. Present were National Chairman Hannegan, Mr. Pauley, the senator who led the fight for him, Millard Tydings of Maryland, the Naval Affairs Committee Chairman Senator Walsh all strict ly party men. Conspicuously missing were the supra-party leaders, Senator Pepper, a nominal democrat, and Mr. Ickes who is not nominally anything, although he has been called, and has called himself many things. They were not consulted, as far as I have been able to learn. . The meeting did not break up until one a. m., after which the letters of pleasant ex change between President Truman and Pauley were arranged for release to the press the next day. Not much interpreting cf the re sults has been done in view of the chaotic confusions into which the debate was plunged. Indeed the natural interpretation that the Pepper-Ickes group won a battle over the Truman-Hannegan-Pauley party leadership has been widely avoided as far as I have seen both Pepper and Ickes avoided comment. The opposition appeared glad enough to forget its supposedly great sensational struggle. Enjoys White House Favor INDEED, the list of casualties left on the battle field hardly would justify an inter pretation of victory for the Pepper-Ickes crowd. Mr. Pauley lost a proposed sub-cabinet job, but may get an ambassadorship or something else, as he still enjoys While House favor. Mr. Ickes lost his 14-year political hegemony in the interior department and his really important cabinet position. My information suggests Sen ator Pepper may have lost something equally important, although the loss of his tongue is so far the only record result in tlie casualty list. Similarly my informants report the campaign within the parly for Hannegan's scalp is not likely to succeed. There has been some legiti mate opposition within the party to the Hanne gan control, aside from this Pepper-Ickes fight against Pauley, Some of the older party men have been saying among themselves that he is too young, that his health has not been the best, that his tactics are not successful, that he has been playing too much strangely enough with the old Roosevelt crowd. The Pepper Ickes group capitalized on this feeling during the fight against Pauley, and drew strength when Boss Ed Crump of Memphis, came, out with a demand that Hannegan give up one of his two jobs, as postmaster general and nemo cratic national chairman. If Hannegan gives up either, it will be the postmaster generalship because he enjoys the unlimited support of Mr. Truman. a e Scalp Not Likely Casualty HIS scalp, the democratic party people say, is therefore not likely to be included on the casualty list. As a matter of fact, the stories about his health are said by his friends to relate to the fact that he had some of his teeth pulled recently. In appearance, he looks healthy enough. The greatest net result then is that the great Ickes fell from his personal hegemony in the cabinet to the job of writing a column for a minor paper, and organizing artists into some kind of a new liberty league. This is the greatest recorded fall since Lucifer in distance, I mean. The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler South Road Siory EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is another Installment of Lindsay Applegatc'i account of the 1846 expedition from western Oregon through the Klamath country to open a new road for emigrants to travel from Fort Hall, Idaho, to the Wil lamette valley. The story Is recounted as Applegate told it to two boys. Prank and Ed. Yesterday, he told how the party reached the Umpqua country on Its way south. L. Applegate By ELIZABETH BUTLER LOOSLEY GRANDFATHER LINDSAY shifted to a more comfortable position in his chair by the fireplace. The boys, cross-legged on the floor, waited silently for him to pick up the thread of adventure. He resumed: "June 25th we plunged into a canyon. Tall firs, small firs, vinemaple, dogwood, ferns, and wild berries were almost netlike. The sun only occasionally shot through in fingers of light. I can still smell the piney odors with the blend of flowers and acrid aroma of crushed breaks. The trail we were on led to a ridge and here the growth did not hamper us and we made better progress to the top of the mountain; then we went south, following a backbone ' where we clambered over moss-erown rocks and were again overshadowed by dense growth. I'll admit my spine felt as if needles were pricking it for we knew not long before a party from California had been ambushed by the Indians on this very spot. We found arrows and we found fresh tracks of Indians, a lot of Indians. We hurried, traveling till dark. We found an open glade and camped. "While it was ticklish business, we laid over the next day and part of the group retraced the canyon. Late that night they returned to say wagons could come through. Exhausted, we slept the sleep of the just. Probably we 'would not have rested so well had we known that Indians came within a few feet of us during the night, but this was not discovered until the morning. We broke camp at once and took no chances. When we came to a ravine, we got off and walked, having our guns ready in self-defense, understand not to be used otherwise. "Having followed sharp hills through which streams wound, we came to a branch of the Rogue river (Grave creek). We allowed our selves ' two hours rest, then pressed on through more open country covered with scattering pine and oak. . "We saw objects moving! It was Indians running; we came to a prairie. Here at the place away from brush and made camp, river's crossing was a place made known in history for the Rogue River Indians laid in wait and attacked the trains. We selected a 'Not intending to be taken unawares, we made all preparations by cutting heavy willows and staking the horses in a square formation and then we formed ourselves in a ring around them, realizing fi we lost our horses we would be at the mercy of the savages. We kept guard all night and a gray dawn showed us the Indians had done likewise. (Continued Tomorrow) PARIS. March 19 A dls tinKuished French friend long a keen observer of the trend of events at homo and abroad remarked t o me as we were discussing his country's pol itic economic difficulties: VF ra n c e's problem is one of food. We haven't had a piece of meat in mv home for three MacKENZIE weeks, because it couldn't be bought. Even the black market hasn't got much. Ihuts what the people are up against, and their outlook is being swayed by their stomachs." Well, it's true that most folk think with their bellies when they're hungry. Moreover, on returning to Paris after an ao sence of a few weeks, we find that there has been a subtle and significant change in the reason' lng impelled by snort rations, Abandoned Bread Cards France had been expecting to get wheat from North America and meat from the Argentine. On the strength of its hopes, the government abandoned bread cards last November only to find that they had to be restored the nrst ot this year, thus giving public morale a nasty jolt. Since then trench belts nave oeen drawn tighter and tighter. Then a few days ago the na lion was given the sensational news that Russia had ottered France 500,000 tons of grain, pro vming tms country coma una the shipping to move it. The French have crews but few ships, and the United States al ready has provided Liberty ships to neip transport mis Daciiy needed food. The reaction of many of the French public is what would be exnected. The neonle not hav ing had an explanation of why they couldn't get the wheat they needed from the United States or Canada and the meat from the Argentine are saying: Russia Giving Aid "Russia is giving us the help which we couldn't get else where." That fits perfectly into the DroEram of the French comma nists, who are making a heavy propaganda campaign in pre paration for the forthcoming na tional elections in May wnen me new constitution will be adopt ed and the republic will enter a fresh phase. Mind you. I have no informa tion that Moscow's move was other than purely humanitarian. X can only report what tne ei- feet is here in France on many people. And it may be suggested in passing that this would seem to be a mighty good time for the other allied capitals to .explain clearly the circumstances which made it impossible to fulfill the French hopes, since tne people of this country certainly don't understand the situation.

(To tho Editor) Tiicrs is a great mys tery to mny thin is not solved by thosa leaders of communism who aro trying to spread their tvne of government In America. Why do they want control of our country? iney claim there is no profit, there Is .equality for all. Oil, but Is there? Herein lies tho mystery that confronts all Americans who hear the approach of Die com munistic form of government. If there is no profit for any body why are them people and f roups of pcoplo spending mil ions of dollars spreading their propaganda of the lories of their Shangrl-lu? Communism is a doctrine of community, of all things being hold or dono in com mon. There is to bo an even distribution of all monetary wealth, If it is used, but will there be such equality? we Americans hnvc seen com munism tried in other countries and we know what things are not nuicic equal, i ne masses have a bare subsistence, the rulers have all the luxury. All Intelli gent, unbiased persons know that equalization is Impossible. bomo sav that tho snrenders of the doctrine of Karl Marx are connivers of the truth. This is certainly the correct word. Web ster soys It Is pretending Igno rance of somothing that Is known. This hits tho nail on the head. They know that thliiKs cannot be as they state. The leaders of the communistic movement are the ones who will get tho wealth, while you and I will get tho spoiled beans and dried bread. The rampant lead ers of this movemont each has on ulterior motive. While teach ing the brotherhood of man, these individuals are out for power and weollh and care nothing for us. This fundomcnlal truth should be emphasized. JiUUM ESTES. HERALD Attn . KLAMATHET (hnei'iHi.,'; r '"o for mn tnVcrUinly 1 ' earth. 11,0 "ppl Hux-tlii. Well i i, talk it. : ' 'i.'''ict. v;?
