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.

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

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.

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

the unemployment compensation, etc.) or to
put it a third way, they cannot decide whether
Truman is running tills year, or whether con
gress is.
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.
