AE were present yesterday at the official VY deatl1 o the WRA center A bitter wind flapped the wraps of the last a the colony's evacuees as hey straggled up to the proc essing office for a final check lefore they entrained for a Texas Internment camp. ' Four hundred fifty left for he camp at Crystal City as detainees" under department tf justice jurisdiction. About 100 others took regular trans ortation as free individuals telocatees) some of them find np their status chanced from ltninii to relocatee in the Snal hour before the train left. . Never a beautiful spot, the Tulelake center ivas a scene of desolation and desertion as the end came. Except for a few stray dogs, there ivas no sign of life .in the alleys between the long rows of tarpaper shacks which at one time housed as many as 19,000 persons. Behind the buildings were piles of debris ind refuse the backdoor accumulation of a place that once had the population of a middle lized city. Here and there a light flickered, but they" were exterior lights and no evidence f habitation. Outside the -colony area there was still a little activity, but it all had to do with the day s lignificance finality and abandonment. Trucks artd buses carried the evacuees, loaded down with a strange assortment of baggage, to the "bull pen" near the railroad tracks, from where they went on the train under the watchful eyes of department of justice border patrolmen. An OCN bus waited to take the free people to town. When it was all over, not an evacuee was left. Dusk came, and the perimeter lights, which have burned nightly for four years, re mained dark. A pack of abandoned dogs howled mournfully. Tulelake center was dead. a a Significant Day IT was a, day of significance for the last of the evacuees most of whom had been inside the colony fence for nearly four years and for the WRA staffmen, particularly Project Director Ray Best. Mr. Best had been in charge of the camp since the middle of 1943, with the exception of the short period late htat year and in early 1944 when the. army was in control of the colony as well as the perimeter. He was the boss in the exciting and dangerous days and the short period late that year and in early November, 1943, and the army came in on the night of November 4 after climactic violence in which there were, shouts of "Get Best" from evacuee thugs who attacked the administration urea. After the mistakes in policy of that period,. Mr. Best continued in charge at Tulelake. He put into effect the sterner and more realistic administrative policies that followed, as well as , the relocation program. It has been a long, difficult, touchy job. We who have conscien tiously criticized would be unfair if we failed, at this point, to say a good word for Ray Best, likewise with justification. Public relations policy with respect to the center has been most satisfactory since the trouble of late 1943. The project director shares credit for this with such men as Ralph Brown and Bob Ross, at present the news contact men there. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 21 The food sit uation is so deeply buried - beneath a mulch of propaganda a dozen farmers could not pitch it off in a year. We were feeding . wheat to hogs only last year and the year before, and now we have to eat black wheat in bread. Yet we still have a prospective surplus of 150,000,000 bushels for the end of the crop year, and crop prospects are good. The late winter provided good mois ture through the breadbasket section of the farm belt. Winter wheat looks fine in most ; areas. There is no deficiency of supply. Many stories have been told about the black wheat order, both as to its causes and effects. The one which I believe has not been told as far as I know; is that the change docs not make much difference, as far as increasing the avail able supply of wheat. My most trustworthy experts tell me the order contemplated leaving a mite more of the dark husk in the ground wheat. It did not contemplate any deterioration in the quality of flour, and has had less influ ence upon white bread than upon darker bread. The saving will be limited in amount to the quantity of husk left in the flour which can not be much. As far as .health Is concerned, the vitamin content of the new flour would be reduced by only the same mite of replace ment. a a Official Position THIS is the official position in the matter, and any deterioration in the quality of the flour or bread is what might be called unofficial. Some parties may be taking ad vantage of the government order to foist poor products off on the public at the same old price. The so-called black bread step therefore ap pears primarily a strategem to bring home to the people the necessity for food conservation a strategem which opens an excuse for abuses, a deterioration in quality, and secret price in creases, and is a typical old Roosevelt ian method of "bringing things home to the people." The move for curtailment of portions in restaurants opens similar vistas. The OPA issued this order and specified the same old high prices should be charged for the smaller portions. If the government wanted to save food for Europe the natural thing would have ' been to cut the prices as well as the portions. That would have saved both the food and the consumer. But by this old Rooseveltian way of doing the thing, the public is wheedled into another hidden price increase of in estimable proportions because the restaurants can reduce quality, dispense nearly anything they have left in the icebox and excuse them selves bv saving to the customer we are leca- ing the starving In Europe." a Hoover Appointment ENLISTMENT of Mr. Hoover to head the campaign on the newly discovered famine in Europe therefore, may not represent ine complete overhauling of the food program I thought was first indicated. Exactlv what Mr. Hoover is to be, remains to be seen. He did not immediately get the Lehman job in the futile UNRRA, but only the prestige of leadership and went on to Europe to find the scope of the famine, which must be apparent to our armed forces on the ground there since last fall. Indeed, Mr. Hoover reeled off all kinds of figures about it before he left. What do these strange events mean? For once, I am stopped by the confusions of Wash ington. I am asking you the answers. The World Today By DeVVITT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler MacKENZIE South Road Story Editor! Note: Another Installment of the Lindsay Apple- rate story or me exploration of the soutn Hoaa in itHtt. Yesterday's chapter took the party Into the western slopes of the Greeiuprinefs country between here and the Rogue mver vaiiey. Bp L. Applegate By ELIZABETH BUTLER LOOSLEY II I ULY 4th we kept along the ridge to the J northward and so crossed the summit of the Cascades. Soon we saw the Klamath river. rihbon-hke. as it wound and ? fV. m r& tumbled through a rocky gorge. Beautiful tall ' yellow pine trees, some fir and sugar pine and then a most glorious . sight the Klamath country lay before us! It extended eastward. Cheer after cheer rent the air--we couldn't have held those cries we were so relieved to have come safely through the Indian infested mountains. For days and days we'd come through dark, dense growth across rivers, ravines, gullies and canyons; now we could see about us. To this day I claim I've seen no grander sight: "Great stretches of green, lakes that, shim mered in the sun, while ribbons of water con nected these great sheets of water. Dim green hills were the background." (Stop your car some time as you travel the Greensprings highway over the Cascade moun tains through avenues of towering trees, when you come to an abrupt bend in the road, and overlook this spot. Highway 66 now passes over this self-same trail laid out by these pioneers and it is well to pause today pro viding you get off the pavement). "Followed the river to where it comes out of the Lower Klamath lake, and here we found a riffle below Keno; here we crossed the Klamath. By following the river and then the lake, we came to the main valley of the Klamath. . "Evidently the Indians in some fashion knew a party was passing through. Then we re called the Indian who had seen us and I sup pose this accounted for the illumination; for great signal fires leapt into, the air telling of our arrival. (To Be Continued) PARIS, March 21 Europe's food shortage, which formor President Hoover is here to In vestigate, presents- R decidedly grim problem, complicated as it is by the fact that there is hunger in many other partii of the world, thus adding to the difficulties of bringing ado. quate relief to this continent. Spring and early summer arc going to be a critical time. Thus is the in-between period for crops. Indigenous food supplies have been largely exhausted and many countries are mainly de pendent on imports. But unfortunately the crisis isn't likely to end there. Although this first day of spring gives promise of an early season for the tillers of the soil, .It doesn't bring the cheer of normal times. The discouraging fact is that misfortunes arc swarming the farmlands like an army of locusts, making it certain that the fall harvest will be far short of the customary yield in most areas. The early vegetables will brighten the situation, but this will be a comparatively slight and passing relief. Fertilizer Shortage One of the worst handicaps is a great snortnge or fertilizer. The soil already is impoverished for lack of nitrates which were di verted to war purposes, and now the nitrate plants aren't function ing. That's heartbreak enough for any farmer, but there is an even worse trial In the scarcity of seed, especially grain. There is a great scarcity of farm implements, owing partly to destruction wrought in the war and partly to curtailment of the manufacture of such tools. And then, of course, the conflict has robbed thousands upon thou. sands of farms of the sturdy youms wno were ineir mainstay. Feeding Problem ' Even if crops were normal there still would bo great Drob. lems to meet. One of these is the feeding of the displaced Dcr sons who have been moved in huge numbers about the contt nent. An examole is the cur. rent difficulty of caring for the host of Germans who have been sent from Czechoslovakia's Sit detenland into Bavaria, which already had a food problem Even if there were food enough in Europe to meet re quirements. still it would be im. possible to distribute it rcadilv because of the disorganization of transport and the lack of rolling SIOCK.

Army Revises Master Menus WASHINGTON, March 21 (P) In line with President Truman's food conservation plan to help feed a hungry world, the army is tightening its belt. The quartermaster corps has revised its master menus to cut by six and one half pounds for each vegetable the amounts of canned asparagus, beans, spinach and tomatoes served to 100 men. Mess cooks in preparing meals for 100 men also will fix only 10 pounds of beets instead of 15; 20 pounds of cabbage instead of 25 and 65 pounds of potatoes instead of 75. Bread has been cut from 15 pounds to 12 for each 100 men at each meal. There are also smaller portions of breakfast foods.

Now that the war's over, there's a lot of head-shaking- in our town. People saying: "What's tho younger gen eration coming to?" "How can wo end these strikes?" "The country's going to the dogs!" "There ought to be a law!" etc. Bat when the younger genera tion was walloping the Axis "super men" and labor waa doing the noet eoloual Job in history yon nerer heard a murmur. Bat now that we're back to oar traditional life of personal liberty,' just fee how the heads begin to shake again. I guess there'll always bo head shakers folks who feel "there ought to bo a law" who bollcvo that tho best form of regulation i suppression, whether it's applied to beer or baseball. But from where I sit, America's done pretty well with the idea of personal choice and individual lib erty. I guess that's Juat the way Americans are made.
