Oregon, by the Herald Publlahlnl Co. and the Mm Publlshln company. Member, Associated Preaa Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY IT'S a dull day in the news from Washington when Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon is hot quoted on the national wires. The Oregon senator, who likes the spotlight and knows how to get it, and keep it, is well on his way to becoming in his first term the best known senator in the capital. When Senator LaFollette led his progressive party back into the republican fold this week, he of course mentioned Senator Morse as typical of the kind of liberalism that progressives would like in the republican rjartv. And Sen ator Morse got on the press EPLEY association wires with a rousing welcome to LaFollette and a few brisk slaps at the demo cratic party. On the same day, the senator got in a swat at the lack of national action to solve the housing shortage likewise con sidered as worthy of the news teletypes. The national interest in Morse is growing. Klamath men home from the east report that the senator's name is brought up as soon as it is learned they are from Oregon. Those news dispatches about him are getting reading else where than just in his home state. e . Opportunity WE detect, however, a slight uneasiness among some of Morse's republican sup porters in Oregon. These are republicans with conservative tendencies, who brought them selves into the Morse fold because they felt that he would represent a middle-of-the-road policy which would be best for a country that might otherwise become dangerously embroiled in a battle between hidebound conservatives and wild-eyed radicals. They were willing to go for that. Now, some of them are asking if the junior Oregon senator is really a middle-of-the-roader, or somewhere to the left of that. .The evidence is not yet in. Senator Morse has a remarkable opportunity, plus the ability, to produce the leadership that will help direct national policy down the road of sound liberal - ism or call it moderate conservatism the hope of which attracted needed support to him in the republican primary of 1944. out in the Churchill-Stalin debate which stopped half way. To me, it appeared the international atmosphere might have been cleared with bene ficial results by a sincere weighing further of the points made by both sides not as to an Anglo-American alliance which no one took seriously but as to the merits of tho basic differences between parliamentary liberty and the Russian dictatorship. I have been working on it. But the Byrnes program is the latest de velopment. Two sentences took out the wind which had been bellowed into Churchill's sails. These pledged no alliances and all future work through UNO. Now, as I say, this government never intended to follow the Churchill proposl tion, which was ostensibly made for diplomatic effect, as Churchill is not a government, but a minority leader in parliament. But the official statement of its renunciation by Byrnes sim ilarly had the tendency of removing that show of resistance to Russian actions. As against these two sentences, however, the bulk of the address favored armament on the sound theory that weakness invites aggression. This was a definite renunciation, by Mr. Byrnes, at least, of the old theory that military weak ness makes peace. e e e Renews The Call IE renewed the call for "universal military I I training." The only concession lie offered the opposition was that "it is probable as the years go by, the system can be adapted to the demands of education and civilian employment In ways which will minimize friction and disruption of private lives." This cannot be interpreted justly except as a demand for the vouth draft act. which Russia has adopted. Now the administration could get a universal military training program through congress if it proposed democratic methods or education through schools, enlargement of the national guard, etc. The Byrnes stand, nowever, was firm for the drafting Way military training away from home in camps. For these reasons. I am led to the concluS' ion that we are going more of Russia's way in this latest cooline of the bellows than super ficial accounts of the events, would make it aDoear. The chance of diplomatic pressures, the new activity of pro-Russian sympathizers and the simultaneous move for the youin arau if carried into government action as proposed would be a shift to a policy of studied con fusion, but I have not yet heard a prophesy of how it will work out. South Road Story fEditor'f Note: ConUnuinB Lindsay Apple Rate s itory of the South Road expedition of 1846. into southern Oregon and throusth the Klamath country eastward. Yesterday, Apple- fate told ox an overnignt camp wnn inaians ciosc oy.i News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 20 The bellows of diplomacy blows faster, hot and cold. Although President Truman stood by the side of Mr. Churchill when he proposed an Anglo American alliance, State Secretary Byrnes cele brated St. Patrick's Day shortly thereafter with a definite rejection of the Churchill plan. He submitted the counter proposal of maintaining 'sufficient armaments to enforce our influence in world affairs through joint cooperation of UNO. Mr. Churchill likewise dropped his firm manner and pinked Stalin with a needle dipped in humor. Then four senators, the inner international group of the foreign relations committee, drop into the White House and urge further steps -against Argentina in a way designed to tickle Russia's ribs. Thereafter, the usual pro-Russian sympathizing promotional groups in CIO here issued a report held back since last fall on the Russian visit of 11 of their leaders, urging "closer understanding and cooperation between the American and Russian peoples." The bellows, I judge, has dropped fast from hot to cold. Simultaneously a business letter service re ported Mr. Byrnes might soon be succeeded by a firmer and stronger man "despite White House denials." e Strange News Zephyrs IN this latest whistling of strange news zephyrs, no announcement was made that Russia had , given in on anything. If the strong wind or the softer one had accomplished anything, the result did not appear in the papers or reach my ear. Later on I propose to judge the points brought L. Applegate By ELIZABETH BUTLER LOOSLEY 1 1 n REAKFAST was a hurried meal. The D dew was heavy and to make sure it had not affected our guns, we tested them by fir ine. In crossing the stream -5 we keot the Indians covered v. jvxsrk. at all times. The water was deep and swam the horses; we were in a tight spot. We turned up the stream and the Indians tried in every way to taunt us by mounting ponies while others raced afoot along the opposite bank, whooping and yelling and gesticulating. "We found other tracks and learned about eighty men were just ahead of us. Think ing them richer picking, the Indians moved out and left us when they struck their tracks. They did steal some of their horses. Long into the night we saw signal fires; we left two men on guard and got a good night's rest as we were worn from the night before. "Then we saw the wonderful Rogue River valley oak dotted, carpeted with clover and pink pea vine and tall grasses that billowed like waves. We spent the night on Emigrant creek at the foot of the Siskiyou mountains and then struck off into country about which little was known. "Coming to Keene creek, we spent a day as this is high mountain country and steep and we must learn how wagons could make it through here. "July 1st; we were eager to explore. We found a lone horse track moving eastward; we followed and came to a ridge and went as far as the Klamath canyon. By spending the whole of the next day, we located a pass, found good grass, a little stream (Long Prairie), so stopped for the night. Benit Osborn killed several grouse and they were a treat, . 'Emigrant and Keene Creeks and Long Prairie are etill listed on the present day highways 100 yean later. (To Be Continued) The World Today By D.WITT MacKENZIE AP World TraveUr PARIS, March 20 (V) One of tho most terrible of tho evils which Hitler inflicted on this continent was his deliberate destruction of moral and spl r 1 1 u a 1 fi bres, not only in his own country but in conquered ter ritories, to fa cilitate the en slavement of Europe. Mnnv folk who abhorred' MacKENZIE nnzism nevertheless unwittingly became contaminated to the ex tent that their moral stumlna was weakened. You sec , this mark of the swastika in numer ous parts of the continent and it provides a great problem in re habilitation, because all phases of recovery economic, politi cal, social are affected. Germany itself probably has been hurt more deeply than any other country In this respect. He so far succeeded in destroying religion and substituting his pa gan savagery In the minds of German youth that some allied authorities count many of those between the ages of about 14 and 35 as lost to civilization. Brutaliied People While Hitler brutalized his own people, he did at the same time try to create a high mili taristic morale among them. In the conquered countries his ob ject was to destroy not only morals but morale and so de prive the subjugated people of their will to resist his domina tion. ' France was one of the coun tries in which the nazi dictator employed the most subtle poison at his disposal, and he had some five years in which to work. He long had planned to destroy France morally. He wanted to create out of this great country one of the main buttresses of the conquered territories which he proposed to hold in servitude. There were, of course, great numbers of French people who resisted the Hitlerite campaign to the utmost. Still, my French friends of whom I have had many in these 30 years tell me that the fuehrer did do much damage which is being reflected these hard days in the frightful black markets and in a loss of public spirit in some sections of the population. Cleverly Plotted The German assault on mor als and morale was cleverly plotted. It began with cultiva tion of the idea that, alter all. the reich wanted to keep France prosperous. By way of proving this the invaders were amazing ly iree witn casn. iwoney was no object and why should it be? They took it from the French state treasury with one hand and squandered it with the other in trying to buy the good will of the people. Apropos of this, Ger man documents recently discov ered here purport to show that some 23,000 Frenchmen applied for German nationality.

(To the Editor): If I am rightly informed there is a state law requiring all auto owners to have public liability insurance. However, just this past week there have been two auto accidents, one involving the writer's car, and neither of the other parties had such PL insurance. In each case they did carry theft and collision on their own car. Apparently they feel that if they are protected then to h with the other fellow. What I would like to ask is. why some of us must carry PL insurance while others go their own way without such protection? In each of the above accidents - we carried both personal and public liability insurance. In one of the accidents if it can be called an accident the driver of the other car was too drunk to talk coherently and re- fused to give his name or ad i dress. We try to be law-abiding citi zens and feel we have the right : io reasonable protection as well bs protecting the other fellow. If we are wrong please set us right C. A. WATERHOUSE. P. S. Isn't it just as necessary to have proper insurance as it is to nave proper license plates, lights, mufflers, etc.? C.A.W. Editor's Note: There is no statute requiring the operator of in automobile to have insurance an the vehicle; however, the tale law docs provide that in the event lhere has been an ac- cident involving an automobile, in which any damage was done to property or persons, the own er of the automobile and the operator at the time of the acci dent are required to furnish to the secretary of state evidence of financial responsibility. This evidence may be in the nature of insurance, a bond, or cash de posited with the secretary of state. In the event this is not done then the secretary of state shall, in not less than ten days, or more than forty-five days, aft er the report of the accident reaches him, issue an order sus pending the driver's license of the party involved. If the plates are not voluntarily turned in an order is issued to the state police to pick them up. No further license is issuable to the operator of the vehicle, or to the vehicle itself, unless finan cial responsibility is established If, of course, the vehicle is sold, it is subject to . again being licensed. Ens. McClymonds Expects China Duty TULELAKE. March 20 En sign Bob McClymonds, U.

March 20 .(VP) Fire breaking out shortly after 6 a. m. swept through the new quarter-million dollar addition to the bilvcrdale high school near here and two hours later the structure was believed a total loss. ' Bremerton firemen, called to help , the Silverdale volunteer fire department, were trying to prevent its s p r e a d to the old building. The school is in the central Kitsap school districts. The principal is James Huey. From Other Editors Klamath Falls and Barracki School (Salem Statesman) Regardless of the outcome of the promotion of the Marine Bar racks at Klamath Falls for a GI university, it should be said that the Klamath Falls people have presented the case for the barracks-school in a fine man ner. In effect they have said Here is a wonderful property which is going to be available for the state. What use can the state make of it? In view of the desire of thousands of veterans to continue the r educat on. would it not be practical to cori- veri it into a Ul educational in stitution? Definitely the Klam ath people have not regarded SIDE GLANCES Refusal To Testify Ends Case When tho prosecution broke down over the refusal of tho state's chief witness to testify, charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor wore dismissed yestorduy in the case of Nettle Boll Lusk. The state's only witness to take the stand was Mrs. Lusk's 15-year-old daughter, Florence. The indictment accused Mrs. Lusk of permitting the girl to live with Albert Waldo In a cabin on S. 0th last October. The young girl, who had spent the previous afternoon with her mother and the defense attor ney, under an agreement with tho district attorney, refused to give evidence on the grounds what she would say might in criminate her. Stopi Trial Her carefully worded reply from the witness stand stopped the trial. Prosecution attorneys said that immunity could be promised the girl, but when they could show no legal basis for this assertion, they moved dismissal. Judge David R. Vandenbcrg ordered Mrs. Lusk released from custody. Deputy District Attorney J. Hawkins Napier asked the girl her name, age, residence, and then asked with whom she was living last September and Octo ber. Refuses to Testify The girl replied flatly, "I re fuse to testify on grounds' that what I say might incriminate me." Her next answer divulged that she had met Waldo In July or August of Inst year. Napier then asked whether she hud kept com pany or "been running around" with the man. Defense Attorney R. F. Mc Laren objected to the question, pointing out that the girl had already taken advantage of her constitutional right of refusing to reply to queries which might incriminate her, and tho objec tion was sustained. Then Napier asked her if she made a trip to Coos Bay with waido last fall, and tho girl told Judge Vandenbcrg sho didn't want to answer that. Offers Letters The prosecutor offered in evi dence some letters purporting to have been written bv tho clrl while in Coos Bay to her mother and asked the girl to tell the jury what they were. She again told the judge she didn't want to answer. Napier then told the court that this girl was the only witness the prosecution had who could tie Mrs. Lusk to the allegations of the indictment and since she had chosen not to answer ques tions, asked that the case, be aismissca. Judcc Vandenberc. hefnro re. leasing the jurors, brought out the point that Monday, on stipu- lation or me district attorney and McLaren, Mrs. Lusk and McLaren went to the juvenile detention home and spent the afternoon with' the girl. President of Church Claimed By Death INDEPENDENCE, Mo., March 20 iff) Dr. Frederick M. Smith 73, president of the Reoreanized Church qf Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, died today. Dr. Smith, grandson of the founder of the Latter Day Saints church, entered a hospital March 6, suffering from an acute circu latory failure. He had headed the Reorgan ized church since 1915. KFLW Staffers :'.f 'fc'VVUiv- v j 87 r" I fe fofr 1 the state use of the barracks as "pork" and have offered the plan for consideration on its merits. While The Statesman questions the wisdom of such use of the barracks, it sees no basis for some of the criticism that has been leveled at Klamath Falls as though the purpose there was wholly selfish. Any community with so fine a facility at its door would want to have it made use of for some social good. For our part we hope it can be fully used, preferably by tho Veterans Administration for a hospital. Taxes I I Let me -explain the at tractive tax advantages to you through life insurance.
