FRANK JKNKINI Editor fftUrd M woond rim tnttr at th UHSCRIPTION RATES: month 91.00 By mall month 11.00 By niil Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY KLAMATH'S great agricultural industry takes the limelight again today in the publica tion of County Agent C. A. Henderson's 1945 crop return analysis. Again, the annual return from crops and livestock In our area have made an all time record. The total figure is nearly $26,000,000, and al most a million above the pre vious all-time high set in 1944. The Henderson table, care fully prepared, will be found in today's paper and is worth clipping for future reference. Klamath's agriculture has sained steadily for several de cades. Fluctuations in general EPLEY prices may be reflected in occasional drops in the dollar returns, but the trend has been steadily upward both in volume and monetary value. With new land coming into intensive farming, with a huge acreage of raw land yet to be brought under irrigation, the future of our agriculture is most promising. What our farm and livestock people accomplished in 1945 will ba exceeded in years to come. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 19 The papers have been carrying almost daily now a new mistake by the democratic campaign leaders, but no one is mentioning much the big under lying mistake in which these incidents are only a reflection. The all-consuming error has been the party has not been able to make up its mind whether it is running on the CIO ticket or its own, or to put it another way, they could not decide whether to run their congressmen on their records or with emphasis on the Truman-CIO legislation which these congressmen have voted down, emasculated or hidden away (and by this reference I do mean the full employment bill, American Soldier Killed In Breakup Of TOKYO, April 19 P) One soldier was killed, a second was wounded and four were captured in the breakup of a local black market ring, the Stars and Stripes reported today. The army newspaper attrib uted its information to Capt. Michael G. Frisch of Ithaca, N.Y., chief of the army's criminal in- Tomorrow's Boston Symphony will again be under the conduc- torship of Serge Koussevitsky, with the program in three parts. First will be heard Symphony No. 7, by Sibelius, followed by Good Friday Spell from Parsifal, by Wagner. The program will close with Variations on a Theme by Haydn, by Brahms. One to 1:15 tomorrow will also see a special program over KFLW; the running of the Wood Memorial horse race at Jamaica. A $25,000 event, this race brings together an outstanding group of three-year-olds. On-the-scene de scriptions of the event will be; brought to listeners by Harry i Wismer and Jock O'Hara. I ! It will be interesting to see 1 how many of Klamath's veterans j take advantage of the corre spondence and extension courses now offered through the state's school system. You hear a lot of talk in the course of a day about the boys going back to school, but few of them ever leave. Now they can stay at home on a job and still study without cost, any academic sub ject and a wide variety of trades. The GI Bill of Rights might get somewhere after all. There is one problem facing the chamber of commerce here. Whenever a dust storm is in progress, strangers and visitors should be kept out of the old Oregon Bank building. I was getting a haircut in there yes terday, and the wind howling into the storm door sounded like the crack of doom. If a hatful of wind can sound worse any where in town, I have yet to find the place. Classified Ads Bring Results. FRIDAY P. M., K.r L. W 1450 kc. 6:00 The Lone Ranter ABC :30 The Sheriff ABC 6:5.

He was unavailable to night for confirmation. None of the soldiers involved was named. Stars and Stripes said Frisch related: Three of the soldiers forged requisitions for clothing, jeeps, trucks and supplies and became rich from black market opera tions. The other three, includ ing two who were AWOL. were with one of the black market operators when he was arrested. The arrests were made in a geisha house, where CID officers had gone on a tip from Japanese detectives regarding black mar ket beer sales, and at a sake house in the ginza (business) dis trict. Four soldiers in a jeep drove up to the geisha house. They were warned away by a geisha girl, who said CID officers were inside. The soldiers fled, pur sued by an investigating agent, who shot one and wounded an other. A third was caught as he fled in the jeep and the others were taken the next day in a sake house. BOYLE'S NOTEBOOK I By HAL BOYLE j CASSINO, Italy, April 19 i ne roaa oacK to war is strange and new. All the ingredients of battle are missing except the ruins. Only by such odd and haphazard monuments a few roadside graves, an occasional rusted tank, some small forgotten stacks of ammunition can you read the story of the siege of Cassino. These small memorabilia of battle can only hint at the long heartache and dull misery this mountain village symbolized for I thousands of allied soldiers in tne early months of 1944. Nature, which heals or kills, has taken care of the rest. The road to Cassino was once a dreary trail of mud and blood and weary tears. It was tedious as a dull football game in which no one scored. Lives were lost for yards. It was the endless agony and crash of sound an ---v..:- RADIO PROGRAMS APRIL 19 KFJI 1240 kc. Gabriel Hraller, News MBS Around Town" Spotlight Banda MBS Vail.

This is no exaggeration, as can be demon strated by an analysis of the facts: Comedy Of Confusion THE democratic magazine started the comedy of confusion by charging that a vote against the Case bill (a measure designed to do some thing fair and effective about strikes) was a vote against the people. Now an exuberant young lady reporter could have made this mis take, as the subsequent explanation from the national committee contended. She was fired. But she was only saying what the ClO-PAC wanted her to say, or would like to have her say. They were not fired. Next, the National Chairman Hanncgan sent to his county chairmen the letter advising them to "select proper candidates" for congress as if the ones they have running now for re election are not good enough. No other inter pretation was passible as it defined what a "proper" candidate was, namely one "who will courageously support President Truman's pro gram of progress." and most of those running had opposed much of it. The official explana tion of this mistake was that the letter went bv error to democratic counties, whereas it was intended onlv for those held by republicans. This makes sense, but the "mistake" represented what the CIO wants, precisely. Here again, the affair presented CIO campaign hopes and plans exactly. Third "Mistake" THEN came the third "mistake." The demo cratic congressmen who naturally blame these troubles on Chairman Hannegan, called their meeting of yesterday to do something to protect themselves, with results which have been reported. But in calling their meeting, they also made "the mistake" of inviting a couple of republicans. This climax of errors (this time on the other side), aroused snickers and laughter all around Washington, and some friends of Mr. Hannegan were heard chuckling that he is not the only one who makes mistakes. But the point I wish to make, is that this "mis take" also served CJO-PAC. So I say the trouble with the democrats is fundamental. For one. I am credulous enough to accept one mistake, but three in a row like these are more than my reasonable mind can accept. And when I see all three serving the purposes of the CIO to defeat a congress which has been recalcitrant to their program, I know there is a basic underlying mistake. In this instance it is apparent. I will have more on the subject in my column, Monday. it broke men's hearts and minds and bodies. CrioDlina Cold It was rain and damp wind and criDDlinff cold for bleak weeks when "sunny Italy" hiber nates in its cocoon of winter Dromise. It wasn't hell, because hell is heated. It wasn't life, because life has moments of rest. And it wasn't death because you still could move any direction but forward. It wasn't anything but Cassino and Cassino was life and death and hell in one bitter draught. Riding1 back along that -road today you feel like some doomed ghost foreordained to revisit scenes of ancient disaster and you live again that old agony which stirs many veterans in fruitful dreams of that vanished frustration, that hill of heartache Cassino. Cassino was only one major sign post on the road to Rome. It was preceded by several mini ature cassinos. Among them was the "Million Dollar Hill." so named by combat troops who fig ured it took that much costly ar tillery fire to soften its defenses for the doughboy attack. Road of Hate In those days it was a bare rockbound slope. Now, like oth er way stops on the Road of Hate that led to the Italian capital, its forbidding features are veiled by early verdure. SheoD eraze where once American and Ger man troops played deadly hide and seek. The green of spring has soft ened this brown arena of mortal scrimmage. Purple flowers bloom wildly and confuse the visitor to the battlefield who only knew Italy before in . its skeleton months. Drought has all but dried the narrow Rapido river, turbulent prelude to the wrestle for Cas sino where 3000 American casu alties were suffered in one of the costliest battles of the war. Cassino, sacked or destroyed more than once before in its long history, is rising anew from its gray rubble. It is flanked by British and Polish graveyards. Americans who died there are buried farther away. Italian civ ilians are busy erecting new stone nomes on sites where their fathers dwelt before them. The noise and the armies are gone and only the hills remain. The so-called cloudburst is caused by violent uprushes of air which prevent the condensing raindrops from falling to the earth.

The wave of terror, extending southeast of Rzeszow along the San river, is being fought by several divisions of Polish mill tinmen and security corps men, The bands sweeping across the rrontier, usually about mid night, arc believed to be acting in retaliation fur their transfer from Poland to the Russian zone under the Polish-Soviet agree ment. These Ukranian have in sisted upon their right to remain on Polish soil and also have de manded that the .Ukraine be made an independent state. Many of the Poles attacked are living in homes once occupied by Ukrainians. The destruction of a dozen vil lages along the San is an almost nightly occurrence. The terror nas struck so deeply that the peasants no longer undrcs.i when they go to bed at night. The vil. lages have improvised alarm sys tems.

It is estimated that be tween 500 and 1000 Polish set tlers have been slain the last three months by Ukrainians en gaged in blowing up bridges and tracks, and wrecking trains.
