T oday's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
. 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.

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

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.

Shaking Heads and
Human Liberties
It's a fanny thing-. 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.
