HROUGH the mall today came thfs letter
from a Klamath Falls woman:
May I speak a word of praise to the many
good people who have con
tributed to the cancer fund?
"Also, may I say to those
who have not given their bit
that there never could be a
worthier cause.
"And to those of you who
are 111 and don't know what
is your trouble go at once
to a reliable doctor and find
out for sure.
"Believe me, folks, I know
whereof I speak because I
am a sufferer of cancer who EPLEY
waited too long. After suffering with stomach
trouble for several years I went through the
Portland clinic and was told by the doctors
there that I had cancer of the stomach.
"They operated and removed three-fifths of
my stomach and thought they had removed
every bit of that terrible cancer. A year ago
I again went through the clinic and the tests
and X-rays showed there wasn't a sign of the
cancer returning at that time. I was so very
happy.
"Then in January of this year I became ill
and was told by my doctor that the cancer
had become active again, and there wasn't
anything that could be done for me. He said
that it was only a matter of time until the
tube into my stomach would be closed by the
cancer.
"I am still quite young and have everything
to live for a kind, loving husband and four
dear children who think the world of their
little mom, and would do anything to make her
happy.
"Perhaps if we had plenty of money I could
go to some doctor who could help me in some
way give me a few more years to be happy
but as it is we have only our little home and
the wages my husband makes at day labor.
"Again, may I say if you are ill find out
at once what is wrong. Don't wait until too
late. And please, everybody, give to the
cancer fund to help our doctors find a cure
for this terrible disease."
Thus, an unsolicited appeal for a cause of
vast importance to all mankind, and our
sincere thanks to the writer of this letter.
Klamath's cancer fund quota of some $2800
is a part of the community chest. Contributions
to the cancer fund may be made immediately by
sending the checks as follows:
Cancer Fund, Community Chest,
First National Bank or
U. S. National Bank,
Klamath Falls, Ore.
Let's give now to this cause.
Chamber Leadership
ACTIVE, aggressive leadership for the Klam
ath County chamber of commerce in the
coming year is assured through the election
of John Houston as president. The former
. mayor, long active in civic affairs here, is
full of ideas and vitality. He is a made-to-order
chamber of commerce president. You'll be
hearing a lot from the chamber of commerce
in 1946-47.
The chamber is ending a year of progress
under the leadership of L. Orth Sisemore. Mr.
Sisemore has given much of his time and
ability to this job, which is not an easy one.
The chamber's recent tremendous increase in
membership is a tribute to his administration.
Klamath's chamber is in a position to serve
News Behind The News
Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, April 25 An AFL authority
who knows thoroughly what la going on
in the labor movement, has circulated privately
a report that certain CIO unions are moving
to cleanse themselves of communism. He tells
of a secret meeting of the organization of
utility workers of America recently, where the
constitution is supposed to have been changed
to provide expulsion of any member who joins
the communist, nazl or fascist parties, and
permanently prohibits them from holding of
fice. There are other inner symptoms not yet
ready to relate, that the left-wingers are awak
ening to the methods and effects of communism.
If they are, it would be a tremendously sig
nificant event because they are the ones who
can best do the job of cleansing the influences
which have absorbed much of their activity.
It is in the leftwlng labor movement where
communism has had the greatest success, not
in politics or at the polls, and a thorough
cleansing might result in the change of many
labor doctrines which have been unrealistic,
if not self-destructive of labor's best interests.
It may be a long job and require action, but at
least the will to do the job seems to be de
veloping where it will do the most good.
Communism Catching On
THERE are other indications that the coun
try is catching on to the insidious methods
of communism. A private letter sent out by
one of the most reputable business advisory
services in the country recently carried a
thorough analysis of the peculiar communist
technique which has never been fully under
stood by the business people of the country. It
outlines, for instance, the fact that communism
is a kind of fanatacism, difficult for the average
American mind to understand. It works with
out principle or honor, using every method to
attain its purposes I was going to say ideals,
but it has no ideals. The ideal changes with
whatever immediate objective is ahead and
the objective is destruction, primarily, of- all
other ideals.
Examples were given in this letter to enable
the employers better to combat the effects of
insidious organization. This letter also tells
how the communists work in the unions from
a single person to influence another by every
means at tlfeir command, even metaphysically
or psychically to absorb the peoples' minds.
One man on a union board of 12, this memo
relates, sometimes is able to control the judg
ment of as many as 12- ultimately after years
of preying upon their likes and dislikes, at
least on some issues.
f
New Methods Used
MANY of the methods were new to me, but
the most striking was that communists
actually start red baiting schemes against them
selves by one of their members, of whom they
wish to rid themselves without letting anyone
know except themselves. It seemed to me the
ultimate abnigation of ail existence, to get your
own people to advocate) destruction of yourself
in order to win an immediate point which might
become another point tomorrow, or an opposite
point.
The fact that these things now are getting
around in the highest business and labor
quarters, and also in even higher political
quarters than I have suggested, indicates pro
gress is being made of a great nature toward
establishing realism necessary to good govern
ment here and peace here and abroad. When
the methods and tactics become generally known,
they can be easily destroyed, and I think lack
of understanding has been one of the prime
deferents to our progress in recent years.

Marsh Says State
Needs Sales Tax
PORTLAND, April 25 (IP)
A warning against deficit fi
nancing during the state's
"growing pain" stage was made
here by the speaker of the state
house of repressntatives in a
speech.
Eugene E. Marsh, McMlnn
ville, said the state faces higher
financial demands for all pur
poses, listing $12,000 needed in
the next biennium for salary
boosts, welfare needs and edu
cational demands.
"If we ever needed a sales
tax, we need one right now,"
Marsh told the Multnomah
County Republican club, but
said he doubted Oregonians
would approve such a tax for
"many years to come."
Progress Made
On M.B. Plan
Progress was reported from
the Washington end today in
the effort to make an education
al center at the Klamath Falls
Marine Barracks.
Federal action toward turn
ing the installation over' to the
state for this purpose has been
cleared to the naval affairs com
mittee of the house, according
to word received from Senator
Guy Cordon by Capt. Lowell
T. Coggeshall of the Barracks.
The committee will meet
about May 1 and is expected to
declare the Barracks surplus,
so that the war assets corpora
tion may have authority to con
clude a deal with the state.
State board of higher educa
tion officials have suggested
that either a five-year lease or
a longer-term arrangement
would be satisfactory.
Governor Earl Snell spoke
vigorously in behalf of the
Klamath project in an appear
ance before the Clatsop post of
the American Legion at Astoria
this week.
