SUBSCRIPTION BATES: month ti.no By matl jnonlh $1.00 By mail jnnth 91.00 jnonth $1.00 Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE ruckus over the municipal airport situa tion directs attention to the need (or em ployed, pald-for business management of muni cipal affairs. It illustrates a weakness in the present form of city government here, and has started a groundswell of discussion of the sierits of the city manager or other forms of municipal gov irnmcnt. Here Is one of many things tvhich arise in municipal af fairs which require persistent, day-by-day attention by a full time executive. It has been handled, thus far, by a voluntary committee of busy business men, and the mayor, who is paid $175 a month and has no commit ment to work full-time for the city. One phase of this question has been the formal requests to be made to the navy for certain facilities at the air station. Both the city and the local reclamation serv ice are interested in obtaining certain of these facilities, which presumably will be declared surplus and will be disposed elsewhere if these local public agencies do not get them. The reclamation service, which has a paid, full-time superintendent whose business is . to look diligently after its affairs, long ago per fected its request and is virtually assured of those things for which it has asked. The city has tinkered along with this matter for a long time, and only recently has prepared a list of the facilities it wants. Last weekend it turned this list over to the Klamath county chamber of commerce manager to prepare the request. The request itself hasn't even yet been made. That is an apt illustration of the situation that is causing thinking people to begin to wonder if the present form of city government is adequate to handle the expanding and increas ingly complex municipal business. No Personalities Involved THE possibility that the local public may de cide there is a need for re-examination of the city's governmental system need not, and riould not, be interpreted as critical of the mayor, councilmen, or any of the appointivs or elective officials in the present government. It isnt a matter of personalities. Mayor Ed Ostendorf probably gives more time to city affairs than would the average man in the mayor's office. He is a retired business man and has the time. He has worked hard and has given municipal matters a great deal Df thought and effort. We have personal knowledge of this, for we have been associated with him in certain matters in which he has worked hard for the city's interests. The fact there is a growing dissatisfaction with the present governmental form under a mayor who gives as much time as Ed Ostendorf does to the mayor's job, emphasizes the serious ness of the problem. , . a great deal of fine work tn providing hospital ity for troops moving through here. Later in the war, this work was largely transferred to the Klamath military affairs committee, but the old troop entertainment committee maintained its interest and in its most recent act demon strated its desire to provide adequate local facilities for the entertainment and pleasure of service men. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 18 The world states men were so polite in their Iran debate, the pure facts of the matter escaped popular at tention. The newspapers published what went on, and when none of the parties to the debate went into the actual, provable, apparent true character of the issue the accounts reflected that void. Iran simply had come under Russian domina tion and therefore wished to withdraw her complaint pleading for her independence from Russia. The cumbersome obvious steps leading up to this absorption were these: The communists started a revolution in northern Iran, kept out Iran's soldiers until revolutionists had annexed for her hegemony of "friendly states," the northern province. Then Moscow secured re moval of a protesting Iranian premier, installed Ahmad Qavam, a "friendly" man, subsequently summoned him to Moscow, announced an agree ment with him which his government (not all "friendly" to Moscow) publicly denied: Com plaint was made to UNO by the Iran ambas sador here; another "agreement" giving Russia oil concessions and all others demanded, was announced from Moscow, but Iran said it had not been informed even of such negotiations, until the Russian ambassador arrived with the list of concessions imposed by Moscow. Finally the ambassador arrived, and Qavam gave every indication of having accepted them under duress; Russia announced the complaint to UNO would be withdrawn and later the Iran ambassador filed a notice that Qovam hod come to have "every confidence" in the promise of Stalin to withdraw red troop May 6 a withdrawal which Stalin had previously prom ised, in writing, with us and the British, to make two months earlier. SIDE GLANCES . mnr mkyki, r.inw, twi,f . 4 "Oil, I don't tliink men nre ns deceitful ns women! Tuke my husband, for instance I've caught him every time lie tried to fool mel" As Rankin Sees It TURNING back to the airport matter, a feature of the chamber of commerce directors meet ing Wednesday was a vigorously-worded state ment by Tex Rankin, noted Pacific coast flier, who happened to be at the meeting. "I can't see how you can lose," said Mr. Rankin, in comment on the future of the airport and aviation here. He pointed out that the Klamath field is on a direct line between Los Angeles and Portland and Seattle, and said that flying men are be coming increasingly interested in the field here for transient stops and for hunting and fishing visits. Mr. Rankin remarked that he had been into the field here many times, and had seen it develop. "I can now say that this is one of the finest fields in America," said the flier, who un questionably knows his airports. That's the field around which Klamath's aviation activity will develop. Appreciation A FRIENDLY word of appreciation is in order for the Klamath troop entertainment com mittee, which has helped out materially in the baseball field situation by turning over some $940 for use on improving Recreation park. Early in the war period, this committee did lah'Kelv Comedy Of Pretense THIS was the comedy of diplomatic pretense as acted out practically in the full public gaze in daily dispatches. Yet UNO avoided all these matters in the de bate and concerned itself primarily with the Russian charge that the U. S. and British did not want world peace, were up to something unfair or diabolical. It was all very polite and partly insane: certainly irrelevant. . - - !. ...u:l. ...a 1ni'B been accustomed to insincerity, devoutly main-1 EJ?.,',1 tained bv nations and men. But in this case i Moniromerjr ward or Iran, tne worm nas wunessea me Kim " all pretense. The grim, unwitting comedy of the Russian position was indeed even more complete than the published facts, and can be seen in this following consideration: Why would Russia so melodramatically press this question on April 15, when, in three weeks time, her troops are to come out anyway (she said,) and she already had Qavam and the Iran government in camp? Why hurry the UNO into washing its hands of the matter now? Why not wait three weeks and win anyway? The big news would be the answer to this question and others from it: Is Russia trying to scuttle the effectiveness of UNO with technical embarrassments? Is she facetious? Has her diplomacy become a farce? Is her technique becoming elephantine and less smart? There are good international diplomatic sources of great authority which have an answer to these questions: Market Quotations ii WHEAT NEW YORK, April 18 -APt Stock operated within narrow intuu In loUa market with trends Irrriular, Copper and oil developed occasional trenjtth while a larre number at piv otal industrial and rails teetered nerv ously without any aecUive ciunn.

Iran out of UNO now was designed, I am informed, in preparation for the next Russian move which is Spain. Her plan was to get rid of her own embarrassment now in preparation for her attack through Poland and - France, upon Spain. Otherwise we would have Iran hanging over her head, during consideration of Spain and she is wholly without justification in Iran and subject to sound attack upon any phase of it. And incidentally, if she succeeded in making UNO drop the matter, it would be immaterial to all concerned whether she gets her troops out be fore May 6 as promised. After Spain, in UNO consideration, may come China, where communist armies are fighting pitched battles with the government. Few authorities think real agreement possible there, because the communists wish to run that gov ernment, the same as they wish to run Iran. Elimination of Iran by UNO now would avoid comparisons embarrassing to Russia. I would say events are exposing the futility of deception in communist diplomacy to all the world. Things known formerly by the well Informed, are now plain to all the world. Mos cow has become more tricky, but less smart. She has become apparent. STATIC Tomorrow's Alan Young Show has something new. From ad vance notices it looks as if a sin ister note were due to creep into the whacked up romance of Alan Young and Betty Dittenfeffer when Dame May Whitty applies the combined influences of Doro thy Dix and Alfred Hitchcock during her guest appearance on the show. Along with the funny I there will be music by the Four Chicks and a Chuck. Easter Sunday will see KFLW on the air at 5 in the morning to bring you the special Easter services from Mt. Rubidoux.
