T'' HIS newspaper guy, who has been fooling around with written words for the public prints for more than 20 years, lias Deen on mc radio for 10-minuie casts the last two days. It is quite an ordeal. We've heard a lot of talk about "mike" fright, but in previous brief radio "appearances" at football games, etc., it hasn't bothered us. Maybe it is the personal billing, putting us right on the personal spot in those daily programs at 4:15 p. m, over KFLW that has nffertori us. At any rate. we've had some interesting EPLEY experiences with throat-tightening, psychological blocks, etc., the last couple of days. Two days' experience proves that it gets easier as one goes along, thank heavens. Please don't get any ideas this scribe is trying to be John B. Hughes, Raymond Gram Swing, or anything like that. The idea behind the daily program, "Managing Editor's Report" on KFLW is to present a discussion of local, regional and state news, more or less as is done in this column. We've been handling that sort of thing for a long time in this space, and we got the call on the radio job. It has been an interesting experience and quite a thrill. No embrvo commentator ever had more sym pathetic advice. The radio people at KFLW gave us a lot of technical information and j expert criticism. The newspaper folks around f here, speaking as radio listeners, were likewise generous with opinions about how it ought to be done, and how we were doing it. "Just be yourself, was the repeated advice of our well-wishers a suggestion that might be questioned by some of the folks who know us. Last week, we went through several mock broadcasts. That was tougher than the real thing, which faced us Monday afternoon at 4:15. Now, as a veteran of two broadcasts, we wish to report a slight easing of the breath, a loosening of the tongue, and a slowing of the pulse. Give us a few more days and we'll be danged if we'll let that mike mean anything more to us than a suspended hunk of metal. Warming Up THE circuit judge race major political dish on the May primary election menu ii rapidly warming up. Supporters of District Attorney Humble in his contest with Judge Vandenberg for the office, claim that recent court occurrences have had political implications. They assert that a number of dismissals of state cases were in tended to embarrass the district attorney's of fice. District Attorney Humble said something of that sort yesterday when a directed verdict was given the defense in a state case. . Judge Vandenberg promptly denied the allegation. Thus, a campaign issue appears to be develop ing. , -. ' i The fact that the" two candidates for the " circuit judgeship come in frequent contact in circuit court calls for caution on the part of both in their courtroom relations. We know both men well, and like both of them. We believe they can perform their official duties in good spirit, without distasteful courtroom Incidents. We hope they will. The issue of the dismissals is pretty techni cal, and there could be disagreement over it among lawyers who know more about these things than most of us. ! u '( 1 News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON . WASHINGTON. Anril 3 Mr, Byrnes, the VV state secretary, received an unreported but official pat on the back for what was in hf his cleverness in Betting the whmin. Henri Bonnet, on the UNO-Iran mnmiiiiw tn cast the deciding vote. The French government since De Gaulle ,.,nt mil hns been considered another vote for Russia, a hidden, embarrassed, but practical ly sure communist vote, cm men- sruuuu t mnfnrmist. Leon Blum, arrived in Washing ton with his hand out for $2,500,000,000 from United States at the same time Bonnet's hand was intrusted with the deciding vote between Messrs. Byrnes and Gromyko on the committee of the UNO security council. As it turned out, there was no decision in fhp committee, no vote for Bonnet to decide, Thp committee could not even get to that. It avoided all three propositions for action, and failed to agree on anything, but the disagree ment had the ultimate effect of bringing prior consideration of the Iran matter before the council. So Mr. Byrnes won his program. Diplomatic Subtleties OF such subtleties is diplomacy inspired these days but deeper. Listen: The French government, led by the com munists had tried earlier to force the United States and Britain into aggressive action to chase out the Franco government of Spain. Both Byrnes and the British went along with a three-power manifesto and white paper ac cusations against Franco, but when it came to moving troops, the communist-dominated government of France waved the sword bellig erently alone. They moved troops up to' the Spanish frontier, which is now an armed camp on both sides. The United States government knows if Franco is ousted by outside commun ist pressure, Spain will get a communist-dominated government, which may be even less co operative with us than the Franco regime and more isolated. So we are clinging to this new Spanish policy. If Franco is to be overthrown the Spaniards must do it. Meanwhile we will continue to send some moderate economic aid to the pco-1 pie, including oil and gasoline, as we did dur ing the war. Big Money For France BUT with Blum over here seeking big money for France, and Bonnet placed on a spot by Byrnes in UNO, the French government has decided new steps of appeasement to the United States are in order. The socialist party in full assemblage, and in full knowledge of its government coalition with the communists, recommended last Sunday a new French for eign policy of closer co-operation with the United States in foreign affairs and co-operation with Russia (communism) in domestic affairs. This will take doing, but the French have usual ly been equal to such occasions. For the present, the change means only the French may accept our recommendations for internationalization of the Ruhr and Saar, and settlement of German questions. Most Ameri can authorities, however, expect the change toward closer general co-operation to be tem porary, that is, until Mr. Blum gets the money. SIDE GLANCES lL fc I fit ft E3 ; s? ft. 3 CO PH.

"She chnrgi's 30 cents mi hour for staying with Junior, anil when'she was a baby I sal with her for nothing when we get home I'm going to send her mother a bill!" Comedy Of Complexities THE comedy of complexities reached its high est note in the fact that Mr. Blum himself refused to go into the cabinet of this French government. While he was willing to under take its financial mission to America, he de clined a cabinet job and is known to regard his government somewhat skeptically. Indeed, the common authoritative inside opin ion here is that the communist-socialist coali tion is merely now going through a phase of proving itself to be unpopular. It cannot get the food or clothing necessary to become popu lar, unless Mr. Blum gets the $2,500,000,000 or more from us, if then. As soon as this course of developing unpopu larity has been run an overturn of the govern ment is expected in France, a change which will relegate the communists to a less import ant position.

Contribution too great but no one can foretell the future even by looking at the past. t The foregoing are all points thoroughly discussed at potato growers meetings. They lead to the conclusion that the proposed plant will help farmers get more for their off-grade potatoes, and make available a food from what is now waste material. Surely no one can quarrel with such aims as these. ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE, Klamath Potato Growers Asso ciation: by: Mark Evans, chairman, H. R. Jackman, George E. Stevenson, E. E. vernier.

Iter buildings are 2 per cent destroyed. More Hum 200,1100 families among her 7,S00,0UU population are still roofless or living in make-shift hovels. Her revenue has been cut 20 per cent hi the agricultural areas bv the ruin of war and the re sultant flight from farms by peasants who for thousands of years have been her mainstay. These are Greek government figures. And all that Is left to rebuild her, even to her former precari ous economic level, are her peo ples' stout hands and hearts and hopes 'of foreign help.

The re port of the latest committee to investigate is on file and is highly favorable to the idea. Not only the Klamath Potato Grow ers association, but the grange as well, has been represented on some of the investigating groups. The main reason there is a demand for a starch and glucose plant in this basin is to have a plant which can profitably proc ess all the cull potatoes and occasionally some No. 2's, which would otherwise depress the market. Mr. Hannon states that "it can t be done, and proves con clusively that he, at least, can't ao 11. But the committee's report just as conclusively snows that the Northwest Chemurgy Coopera tive is doing it. This is true be cause while raw starch such as Mr. Hannon presumably manu factures, has a low ceiling price of 41 or 5 cents per pound, while glucose such as the proposed plant would manufacture has a ceiling of 10 cents. Also there is a strong demand for more glucose than can be manufac tured at this price. Not only is the cooperative paying $10 to $13 per ton for culls delivered at the plant but it also has a substantial margin of profit after selling the finished product. There is one other good reason why the cooperative can pay more money for off grade pota toes and still have a margin of profit. This is the fact that while Mr. Hannon states that he gets a recovery of 10 to 12 per cent, the culls shipped from the Klam ath basin and processed by the Northwest Chemurgy shows a recovery of 15 per cent to 15.6 per cent, as stated by Mr. Cars tensen, president of the coopera tive at the meeting in Merrill. Thus a modern, efficient plant pays dividends to the farmers. As to prewar glucose prices we do know that the product made by the Northwest Che murgy Co-Op, was not on the market until 1943, as the plants were not in operation before that date. We arc living in 1946 with a heavy demand for sugars likely to be unfilled for a long time to come.

There is an unfair control of rentals. I'll illustrate a couple of cases. An 8 by 10 shack in a dirty alley rents for $30. It has no toilet or bath. Another case the owner of a fine duplex apart ment with all conveniences is allowed only $22.50. Do away with the OPA.
