SUBSCRIPTION RATES: B SSS rrrSon't!; tiff S r,',', S5S S Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY A GREAT many of Klamath's young men are home from the service and it is important to all of us that they find pleasant diversion in the old home community, along with good earn ings in jobs or businesses. Judcine from the interest being shown, it ap pears that right now "pleasant diversion" means baseballhardball ana sou ball to a large number of these young fellows. Today's weather conditions will do nothing to discourage the base ball urge.' And so, the community is going through another one of those hot arguments about what to do to provide suitable grounds where games may be played by local Softball Icacues. and where regional hardball teams can compete EPLEY for the entertainment of local spectator crowds on the summer weekends. The matter has been put up to city officials, and after considerable discussion, a plan had taken shape today. Recommendation THE city recreation committee formed a recommendation to the council that up to $1500 of recreation funds be authorized for ex penditure in putting Recreation park field in shape for baseball. To this recommendation, 1he committee appended a request that the bal ances in wartime troop entertainment funds be turned over for use in conditioning the base ball field. The committee's puroose in making this sug gestion" is to hold to a minimum the amount of money which is spent out of recreation reserves, which were primarily saved for the purposes of acquiring a site and getting a swimming pool construction program started in Klamath. Over a period of years, savings from the recreation funds, plus some outright contribu tions, were aimed at the swimming pool pro gram. The funds thus put aside amount to something over "515 000. If recreation money goes for baseball, it presumably will have to come from this reserve fund. Recreation committeemen felt that the im mediate need for baseball would justify an ex penditure of a small nart of the reserve fund for this purpose, but they feel morally bound to retain as much as possible for swimming pool purposes. Therefore, they ask that the old troop entertainment money be used for the baseball program, to reduce the outlay from the recreation reserve. Servicemen's Sentiment A TROOP entertainment committee formed early in the war, and headed by Lynn Roycroft, has several hundred dollars left over. This committee retained $1000 at the time the military service committee took over the co ordination of troop hosDiiality efforts in Klam ath Falls. We understand that $200 or $300 of the $1000 fund has been spent, but that something over $700. remains. If servicemen's sentiment is as strong for baseball as has been indicated the past few days, we believe they would thoroughly approve if the troop entertainment committee would contribute the balance to the baseball program this year. There should be an understanding on the part of the public on the problem confronting the recreation committee in connection with this matter. It has felt that there were certain moral ties on the recreation reserve fund as a swimming pool fund. In addition, there has been authoritative opinion that the fund was legally tied up, at least until July 1. Despite these' difficulties, the committee has decided to go ahead to the extent of $1500 if necessary, and asks that troop entertainment money also be put into the baseball pot this year. If that is done, expenditures from the reserves will be low, and the committee may be expected to get busy on a swimming pool program in the near future. Barracks Pool INCIDENTALLY, what a shame it was that the Marine Barracks swimming pool was not constructed in the downtown area, where it could now perform a vital community service. There was talk of that early in the career of the Barracks, but the rules were evidently against it. Now there is a big, empty pool on the hill one of the best in the U. S. and Klamath Falls is again faced with a strong public demand for a municipal swimming pool. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 15 The Polish move to induce UNO to Quarantine Spain is simply a Russian manauver to embarrass the United States and Britain because we similarly pushed the Iran Question into UNO. The Polish representative who presented the issue is known as Stalin's man. Furthermore the issue itself originated with the communist party of France. From that party came the recommendations which resulted in France mov ing her troops up to the Spanish frontier and closing her border. In the beginning the United States and Brit ain went along with the French agitation against Franco. We joined in the publication of a white paper and a manifesto, proclaiming our opposition to Franco. But we soon dis covered, to our dismay, that the white paper and manifesto had thwarted its own purpose. Instead of helping to get rid of the Spanish government, it actually strengthened Franco's hold on his people, who resented foreign in fluence and intercference. Suffered Same Experience WE have more recently suffered the same experience in South America. Just before the Argentine elections our state department (Spruille Braden) issued strong charges against Colonel Peron, denouncing him for protecting axis agents, and urging the Argentine people to defeat him. He "won overwhelmingly. Our interference defeated its purpose. That policy of ours is now in complete rout. Within six weeks after our blue book charges. We have had to come around and appoint an ambassador to Buenos Aires who will bear no political antagonism and publicly take the position that if the Peron government will carry out its pledges under the act of Chapultepec, we will implement that pact for mutual military assist ance with Argentine. This announcement has everywhere been interpreted as simply a face saving device. The Braden big stick policy is dead. Such experiences have brought our diplomats to the inevitable conclusion that quarantining would be even less effective and probably more disastrous to our purposes. If we cut off food and fuel from the Spanish people, we will be punishing the people, not the government, and by such a step may further strengthen the standing of the government with its people. But, beyond that, if we succeed in ousting Franco by any means, it is apparent we may be faced with a quasi-communist regime in Spain (one sympathetic to the communist party of France, for example) which would be even less cooperative with American and British purposes than is the cowed and Quiet Franco. In short, we would hand another nation to Russia. No Evidence THERE is no evidence of any substantial rev olutionary movement in Spain. The Span ish republican government in exile has been telling us for some years that Franco is un popular and the exertion of outside pressure would accomplish his downfall, but he never falls, and there is no worthwhile objective in formation to establish the claim of the government-in-exile. , The greater, obvious truth of the matter is that Spain is a small nation of little conse quence in world problems. She does not threat en the peace of the world, any more than Ar gentina is actually a threat to world peace. There is therefore no valid excuse for UNO to act in the matter, unless the government-in-exile can trump up some atomic bomb threat. The Polish move to get the council to act was really a subtle needling of us, as is shown In the manner of its presentation. You will remember in the case of Iran, we took a strong position for a policy of discussion by the secur ity council. The Russians are pinning us to that policy now on Spain. They knew we could not or would not turn around and attempt to stop discussion of any matter so soon after our insistence upon open discussion of Iran, even though the discussion this time may be embarrassing to us. It was a rather clever trick, but our authorities do not believe it will have any serious consequences. They do not believe UNO will act after discussion, or that anything effective will be done to break down the Amer ican and British foreign policies, which are in complete accord on the Spanish situation. (The British feeling even stronger than we do on the subject.) SIDE GLANCES Jt' 1 .. v?j; COPB- IW BY HgA SEBVWI. IHC. T. M. KClt. 8. TKT. Off.

NAME FOR ROAD KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To the Editor) Our community is making plans for a celebration of the centennial of the opening of a route into Oregon, through Dur part of the state. It might be well to clarify two points, first, the extent of the road, and second, its name. The new road extended from Ihe place where the exploring party left the Oregon-California Trail, near Ashland, and extend ed to the big bend of the Hum boldt river in Nevada, where it joined the trail to California. The Oregon-California Trail was well-established many years before our road party traversed it. The Hudson's Bay trappers used it; Ewing Young had brought cattle from California to the Willamette valley over it; James Clyman and many others knew and used it. Duflot de Mofras, the French explorer, published a map in Paris before this time, showing the trail. Lindsay Applegate, in his "Mem oirs" said " . . .Here (near the state line) our course diverged from that of the other company, they following the old California trail, while our route was east ward through an unexplored re gion several hundred miles in ex tent." In Nevada, the trail to Califor- nia along the Humboldt river had been traveled by Bidwell, Chiles and many others. Again Applegate said "... We felt that immigrants would be able to reach Oregon with far less danger of being snowed in than on the California route down the Humboldt." Thus it may be seen that it is incorrect to speak of the new road beginning in Polk county, Ore., and ending at Fort Hall. In truth, it must be said to cover only that stretch between two well-known trails. Now the new road has been given many names. Some have spoken of it as the Applegate Trail, some have called it the South Road, and others have spoken of it as the Southern Im migrant Road. Recently the writer spent two days at the Oregon Historical society, searching through early records to find the official title. The Oregon Spectator, the first news paper on the coast, always spoke of the Southern Route. On December 16, 1847, the Oregon provisional government passed an act to improve the Southern Route to Oregon. This is the preamble: "Whereas, the unfriendly disposition of the In dians of the Columbia river will make the travel of the usual route down that stream unsafe and perilous, and may subject the immigrants the coming sea son to great annoyance and danger, and whereas the South ern Route from the United States to Oregon has the present season proved a safe and easy road for immigrants to this coun try and admits of still further improvement, therefore Be it resolved by the house of representatives of Oregon as fol lows: That Levi Scott be and he is hereby appointed a commis sion to improve and open the road, known as the Southern Route leading from the United States to Oregon. . ." Since this was an official doc ument of the Oregon govern ment, I suggest that we adopt, for our centennial celebration, the name they gave to the road, and call it the Southern Route. Buena C.

He was a friend of man they say This one who now has gone away, And though his way was hard and long He met it broadly with a song. He was a soldier staunch and true Facing each day the world anew, Helping his heart from rancour free He gave his all for liberty. Oh friend of man who's gone j awav. It matters not what man may say, The creed you taught has come to stay And may it live, is what I pray. That man should love his fellow man And struggle on as best he can To make the world a better place For every man of every race. The way is strange, and yet not new, Our Lord once died to make it true, But blinded by our greed today We've lost the bright and shin ing way. Lord make our narrow minds to see This way of life to make us free That when we cross life's final span We may be found, a friend to man. Mrs. E. E.
