Mitor MALCOLM EPLEY asanagiag sailor 1 I j. EPLEY Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY BECAUSE Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg and District Attorney Clarence Humble are rrntiv runnina for the same office, there is ft natural public tendency iu fePPly political Interpretations to many of the things that happen in circuit court these days which would otherwise pass with little public atten tion. The situation places an un usual responsibility upon the judge and the prosecutor to avoid any incidents which might give the impression that the courtroom is being hottlpffrnund. m8ttseems to "us thaithis is a time for those two officials to lean over backwards in pro fessional courtesy in their courtroom relation ships Their conscious efforts along that line will help to keep the circuit judge contest on a level commensurate with the dignity of the office, and will redound to the credit of both 01 A 'political contest is a political contest, and it would be unfair to expect either Mr. Van denberg or Mr. Humble to restrain himself from actively campaigning for the circuit judge ship for which they have declared their candi dacies. Campaigning can be constructively edu cational for the voters who have an important decision to make in this situation at the polls M Weo not believe either of these responsible public officials intends to make the courtroom S place for campaigning. By courtesy and caution, they can prevent any unfavorable pub lic impressions and disarm critics who may attempt to read political implications into their courtroom conduct. Let's Finish It KLAMATH county's Red Cross campaign is lagging. Only 42 per cent of the $43,100 county quota has been subscribed to date. While Red Cross officials and campaign work ers have confidence that there is ample public support for this worthy purpose to make the quota, there is some concern lest the campaign be drawn out into one of those protracted af fairs that become painful to both public and workers. ' Hence the present appeal is to subscribe im mediately and close up this job successfully as soon as possible. Of the total quota, $20,000 has been budgeted to be spent in Klamath county for the needs of dependents of service men, veterans and their dependents and families of deceased serv ice men. In th past year, the Red Cross chapter here has cared for several families, giving financial assistance for food, shelter and clothing during the time claims are under consideration by the veterans administration. There are still many Klamath men in service, and induction is still going on. Some inductees have parents, brothers and sisters who may have been dependent upon ' them for support. . These the Red Cross must help under its charter from the U. S. government. , "Of Klamath's quota, $11,000 goes to national headquarters for work with service men in this country and overseas. The balance is budgeted for disaster relief, home nursing, first aid programs, and other general work . of, the Red Cross. , -.. It seems unnecessary to "sell" Klamath-people on the Red Cross. They know, about it. They have always supported- it well. The need now is to bring that support into full effectiveness immediately. : ' News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 9 Everyone is say ing the world crisis has passed. UNO is twiddling its thumbs until May 6, judging the Iran issue more or less settled. On its agenda r nlv Ivn matters of oreanization. But- Russia is known to be planning a regular army of 6,500,000 men or more after next July 1. We are planning an army men 1,550,000. BumIb Is nlannine an air force of 1,200,000 or more in her army. We are planning an air -faro nf 4iin nnn. nncciu has inaueuratcd conscription which is to provide 1,500,000 of fresh manpower each year, with two years oi service ror iwsuinu and five years in her army for specialized services. I have not heard an authoritative ostinmta of her Dlanes. but we are to have 5000 for one-third the number of men she contemplates, and if the same ratio of men to planes could be maintained by Russia, she would have 15,000 (she cannot provide herself anywhere near that number.) Of her 6,500,000 or more men, fully 5,000,000 are supposed to be her own troops, the other l.ouu.uuu coming from her satellites. Is the world crisis over? If so, why does Russia need such an army and air force, three to five times greater than ours? In the face of such figures, how can people like Senator Pepper arise and naively accuse the United States of kicking Russia around, or proposing to? 9 Nothing Formidable GREAT BRITAIN has nothing formidable, a scattered army which will be about the size of China's July 1 or shortly thereafter, and China has far more planes than Britain, mostly ours. Britain will have about half our force in her home army, the others being Dominion troops. Measured in world military terms, she will be weaker than ever before in her history. The army expansion program of De Gaulle in France has been defeated by the communists and France cannot be consid ered a world force. Give China 1,000,000; Britain a little over 1, 000,000; France around 400,000 and us 1.550, 000 (with air) and Russia will have a. force greater by 1,500,000 or more, than all the major nations combined. (These figures fill out the Balkans estimates of Soviet strength given you last Friday.) The estimates of our army are based upon announced factors such as minimum occupation requirements, keeping bases, transportation lines, etc., and lastly and perhaps least in con sideration maintaining home defenses. They do not contemplate war with anyone. What requirements the Soviet figures are based on, I , do not know. ' Yet it is evident in these realities, the world crisis has not passed, and that the idling in UNO reflects simply the ignoring of problems of world peace, greater than Iran. No peace treaties have been concluded for Italy and Austria. The peace for Germany and Asia is unsettled. But even if these diplomatic affairs are eventually adjusted, can there be a world conference in peace with Russia maintaining such plans? .. " . .. ' .' Peace Cannot Come PEACE cannot come unless or until Russia opens up, drops her isolationism, her cen sorship, and takes her footing on the same basis as other nations of the world. Her tremendous military program, coupled with her secrecy, cannot accomplish any result except world dn rest, uncertainty and suspicion. Free inspection of limited armaments, on the other hand would establish a justifiable feeling of international security. In view of this condition of affairs, it is plain enough our estimates of military requirements may be too small. Any proposal that we give Russia the atomic bomb, in addition to the prospective military advantages, is absurd. Above all,: our national state of mind is no longer alert to realities, but is already lapsing into theories of defensive security, which caused the past two wars to last twice as long as they would have lasted, had we been prepared to face reasonable prospects. The greatest defect of American defense has always been our customary woeful deficiency in men and weapons inspired by our customary belief that the latest war was absolutely the last one, and in any event, that we will have a year or so to get ready. Oceans saved us from effects of our follies of the past, but science has now shrunk the oceans into ponds. SIDE) GLANCES com. im by xt a unvtct. inc. t: m. mo. u. to. PAY. orr.

Marteliano, just out of the coast guard, was a high ranking wel terweight prior to his entry into service. Taylor, a new boy, has had only 15 fights as a pro, but is a capable, sharp puncher. The scrap will originate from St. Nick's arena in New York. '.'

I don't know whether to build a statue or try to sell something on the black market. But that's what the Romans seem to be do ing mostly. What a wonderful place this would be to start a scrap metal drive! I never saw so many sta tues and monuments in my life. They certainly must have a strong sculptors union to get so many contracts. There is a sta tue to everybody but Mussolini and the street-sweepers. The clothing shortage is re flected in the statues. All over town you see lovely nude bronze and cast iron ladies riotously squirting water through their teeth, wrestling with fishes and holding up stone porches. After walking around among these un dressed nymphs you get the slightly insane feeling you ought to step up and help shoulder a porch. New Desirn I have thought up a design in case they ever build a monument to Italy's newest national indus try the black market. It would consist of a number of men of heroic stature standing in a cir cle, each with his oversized hand in the next man's pocket. There is no end or beginning to the black market here. It af fects all classes and there is little moral feeling about it. We ran into it as soon as we arrived by air from Athens on TWA's inaugural flight. Before we left me ainieia several shady char acters siaiea up to ask "any thing you want to sell, Joe?" or "want some money changed. Joe?" . Street beggars are numerous. One little sinudgefaced girl in a tattered dress slipped a type written note in my hand reading, Gentle Sir, I am in want and have no father or mother. Will you not succor a helpless or- IJ11M1. I started to give her some money but just then a big blonde woman rushed out from her shop and belted my career "orphan" on her ear. My phoney little friend made a very ugly face at the lady and then skipped away looking for another "gentle sir." Your loving husband, Harold Vercingitorex Boyle. Navy Recruiters Set Up New Office U.

Colt automatic found in his possession when he was arrested at the Pastime tavern Sunday afternoon was ordered confiscat ed by the court. Prine was charged with carry ing a concealed weapon, a mis demeanor. He admitted that he was drinking Sunday and did not recall the events of the after noon, but the arresting officer said that he had brandished the pistol before a man and woman in the tavern. The officer said that when he went into the Pastime on a rou tine qall a man told him that Prine had come over to the bar where he and his wife were sit ting, asked them if they wanted a drink, then ordered three beers. When the drinks came, the man told the officer, Prine dis played his pistol and said, "You pay for them." He paid, but when the pa trolman arrived the man pointed Prine out. Prine told Police Judge Har old Franey that the pistol didn't belong to him but was the prop erty of a neighbor who had gone to California for a visit and left the pistol in Princ's wife's care. When Prine was arrested the pistol was fully loaded, with one round under the firing pin, and another full clip was found in his pocket. j Classified Ads Bring Results. Air Group To Revise Contract The city airport commission, meeting in Mayor JEd Ostendorf's office yesterday iifternoon, de cided not to immediately accept a contract for local uso of the airport received from tho navy but to rewrite the agreement put ting Items and costs of deferred mamtcmiuco on the port down in black and white and return the rewritten clauses to Iho nnvy for action. Members of the commission feel that the navy will reject the changed agreement, but the move would allow time for the eltv to make some arrangement with the civilian fliers now on the field for continued uso and liability for damage. Bond Inu Right now the city cannot take over the port because no money had been budgeted for It. but the fliers may bo asked to bond themselves to accent any liability and to operate the fly ing field until the city can lake over, either July 1 or next Janu ary 1. The navy's new contract would remove any liability or burden of maintenance from the navy without expressly demand ing that the city be responsible for the upkeep of the port, ami the alternative to signing, of fered by the navy, is to move the civilian aviators off the field. Reluiu Responsibility The airport commission does not want the fliers ordered off the field but is unable to accept responsibility for the field yet. Deferred upkeep is still a navy responsibility but the city Is to put the specific items of deferred maintenance down in the con tract and return it to the navy. This agreement refers only to the old hangar and runways which are city-owned but leased to the navy. In addition to the civilian fliers now making their living at the airport, the city has received several applications from freight and passenger air services for landing rights 14 Bus Stops A Day Made At Cresdell Fourteen stops a day by buses using the Willamette Pass route were reported by J.
