Newspaper Page TextFRANK JENKINS Xditor MALCOLM BPLKY Managing Editor Ctered Mcond clan matter at the po toff ice of Klamatn lie, Or.,, on August 20, 1806. under act of congreu, March 8. 1879 SUBSCRIPTION RATES: month tl.oo By mall M month 1.00 By mail .... -.month tl.00 month $1.00 Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY rHE only hope of getting out a decent vote for the May 18 primary election is the tircuil judgeship contest between Judge David t. Vandenberg and District r3S;mma Utorney Clarence Humble. This one could have oomph n it. Other phases of the Election offer little promise of Itirring the interest that is Accessary to get people down lo the polls in these times frf indifference to local politics. The circuit judgeship is not nly the highest-paid office rviihin the gift of Klamath lounty people, but this time. the final heat is. going to be EPLEY run off in the primary. In this non-partisan , contest, the candidate who wins a majority i. ; !i i In the primary is "in" bcrring the extremely 1 i pamntn nncciHilirtr rt n cnnf.f.ccftil writfin rnn. icsi against nim in xne lau. If the judicial contest generates enough in terest to get people out to the polls, they will of course also mark the party ballots that will be handed them. Otherwise, we fear, the vot ing in the 1946 primary would be even lighter than the low-volume primary voting of 1942 and 1944. Registration Down IT will be pretty bad, anyhow, if advance indi cations are reliable. In past years, a hot election was preceded by intense registration activity. Although the voter registration deadline is less than three Weeks away, there is virtually no activity. Latest figures from the county clerk's office show 15,473 persons registered to vote in Klam ath county, a decrease of about 5600 from the total registration at the time of the general election in November, 1944. This decrease represents names that have been eliminated as "dead timber" from the rolls. There is no such population decrease here in fact, population may be somewhat higher than it was in 1944. There should be new registration that would at least offset the dead timber elimination. It hasn't come, so far, because people just aren't interested. Policy THERE is some evidence of incipient activity '" among the partisans of the two circuit -judge candidates, and that brings us again to the point of reminding the public of certain policies that have long prevailed at The Herald and News with respect to political campaigns. It is our determined purpose to cover the straight political news in our news columns. Stories will not be slanted purposely to aid the cause of a political candidate. If they do ap pear to influence public opinion, it will be because the news, objectively handled, breaks that Way. If we offer expressions of opinion on politi cal matters, they will appear under editorial headings on this page, or elsewhere. Letters WHILE The Herald and News welcomes letters on any public issue, we like best the letters that are the spontaneous and volun tary expressions of the people who write them. We have never been enthusiastic about letters that are prepared by some campaigner who goes out and finds a signer for his communi cation. Letters on political issues should be signed and carry the address of the signer, both signa ture and address to be published. Defamatory material, which might be construed in the courts as libelous, will not be published. KFLW, The Herald and News radio station, goes on the air tomorrow. From this side of the building, .we offer congratulations. Bud Chandler and his gang are grand folks. You will like them. , m The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst BACK from adventures in foreign fields just in time for the encouraging declaration by UNRRA's new chief, Fiorello LaGuardia, that he is going all-out (those aren't his words but they are his meaning) in providing food to hungry countries. There's no doubt in my mind, after a survey in the field, that the global food shortage is the number one crisis of the moment and it's urgent. The political and economic problems on hand, while pressing, are long term affairs as compared with the plague of hunger which is sweeping many parts of the world and is increasing in intensity daily. There's no use giving a man machinery for economic recovery if he's too weak from starva tion to work it. Crude Truth LET'S state this thing in terms of the crude truth. Millions of people are going to die from lack of food during the next six months and even the best efforts we can make will not prevent that. There are half a billion hungry folk in the world. There is food enough for only three quarters ot them. In other words some 125, 000,000 unfortunates are condemned. Of course these figures cover the whole globe. We hear more about Europe because it is closer to us, but the hand of hunger lies heavy on many parts of the Orient notably India, China and Japan. The Question of food relief isn't one for to morrow. It's today's big issue. The situation in the undernourished countries is deteriorating rapidly, and will continue to do so until the next harvest brings relief. That harvest is months away, and we have no assurances that it will be-a good one. Face Situation IN any event, my observation is that this crisis won't by any means be confined within the period between now and harvest time. We shall be wise to face that right now. The bulk of the relief naturally must come from the Western Hemisphere, and Uncle Sam has the greatest resources to meet the emer gency. However, Canada and the Argentina will be looked to for heavy contributions. Mr. LaGuardia's announcement that he will appeal to the Argentine for grain is good news, since the under - privileged countries are banking much on help from that great country.

Vaccine Supplies Hun Low In Cities Hit Ilu Smallpox By The Associated Press Supplies of vaccine ran low in Pacific northwest cities today (Saturday) as Seattle fought to curb an outbreak of smallpox that has taken five lives and her neighbor cities sought to bar their doors to the disease by large scale vaccination pro grams. Alarmed, also', was California, with San Francisco reporting eight cases. The navy 'transport La Salle arrived in the bay city yesterday with another case aboard and the quarantine sta- Comet Timmers Under Study From Various Observatories i By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System So numerous are the little comets that every year clutter Up the skyways in the general vicinity of our old earth that astronomers seldom bother the general public with them. Occa sionally, however, one is very interesting although it never brightens to naked-eye visibility. On February 2, the announce ment came from Rome that M. Timmers of the Vatican observa tory had discovered a comet of magnitude nine. Since celestial objects of magnitude six are the dimmest seen by the best of eyes without optical aid, this comet was thus far below unaided-eye perceptibility. Its brightness would have to increase 16 times even to be faintly glimpsed in a clear, moonless sky. Within the next few nights Comet Timmers was observed at Lick, Yerkes, Lowell and the U. S. Naval .observatories, and its positions at the various times carefully noted as to right ascen sion and declination. . These terms refer to apparent angular positions on the sphere of the sky which correspond to longi tude and latitude on our earthly globe. Tables of position for Comet Timmers from January to June were soon prepared and distrib uted throughout the Americas to all subscribers of the Harvard Announcement cards. It is most interesting to spot one of these little' telescopic comets from the prepared tables. Two of us first looked for Comet Timmers in a wonderfully clear and moonless sky on the evening of February 25. There it was in the position predicted, a fuzzy little object with a bright central nucleus and a faint indication of a nebulous tail pointing away from the sun -r-as do all orthodox cometary appendages. Surrounding it in the circular field of view were many little stars of various bril liancies. We were reaching into the great spaces for an inter planetary traveler far beyond the ken of unaided vision. All spring Comet Timmers will be wandering in- the general lo cality of the north star and will decrease in brightness very slowly. A self-addressed postal sent to the writer at Eugene by operators of circle-equipped tele scopes will bring data for lo cating the comet. ; City Police Make 4 Traffic Arrests Four traffic arrests made yes terday by city police were dealt with in municipal court this morning. Darrell Herrington, 1778 Etna, posted $20 bail on a charge of reckless driving and having no operator's license. Shorty Clark, a cab driver, and Oliver Smeltz, 4205 Bisbce, were charged with violation of the basic rule. Clark posted $10 bail and Smeltz S5. Joseph E. Anderson posted $10 bail for vio lation of the basic rule and hav ing no windshield swipe on his automobile. Three drunks and one dis orderly charge appeared on the docket, with one drunk and one drunk and disorderly bailing out of jail. Boy Undergoes Major Surgery Three-year-old Jerome Johns, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Johns of Bray, Calif., was brought into Hillside hospital for an emer gency operation Friday night.

(To the Editor) It seems to me that in this day of extremely critical housing shortages, there should be some sort of punish ment meted out to the owners of the dozens of houses standing vacant here in Klamath Falls. Some are, of course, for sale but at a price much beyond the reach of the average work ing man and his family, the vet eran and his family, or the widows of the citizens of Klam ath county who sacrificed their lives fighting and for what? So their families back home shall go begging for shelter. Does your conscience bother you about that empty house you own? MRS. S. H. KIRKPATRICK. ON LIABILITY Klamath Falls, Ore. (to the Editor): The letter regarding lia bility in March 20, Herald and News, points to the interesting problem of settling the differ ences between people who drive carefully and those who don't. Protection of the public against drunk and reckless drivers is well in order. Wouldn't it be a step forward to apply our present state auto mobile liability law to drunken or reckless drivers also, so that anyone convicted of reckless or drunken driving would have to provide liability thereafter just as is required in our present law for those involved in accidents? Our present law can do nothing to prevent people from becom ing permanently injured from another's irresponsibility. R. M. DUNN. 4304 Anderson.

Bittner of the CIO Na tional Executive board said here. "Adequate control of these would offer more protection to i consumers, he declared, and Would mean "better luck en forcing the law" for OPA. ' Bittner, since 1942 assistant to the CIO United Steelworkers oi America president, saia trie i suggestion was his "personal opinion." He planned to travel to Seattle and Washington, D.
