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.

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.

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.

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.

the start the work of local com
mittees which have inspected the
plants of the Northwest Che
murgy Cooperative at Wenatchee
and Ellensburg, Wash. 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. As Mr. Carsten
sen stated, a special trade is
icp.uiy oeing ouilt up for the
product made bv thp T.iri,.

In the matter of rent control,
there is "something rotten in the

There is an unfair control of
