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.

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

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.

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:

Spain Next On List
THIS move to get. 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.
