riANX irtnant Kdltoc Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY THAT little ruckus over the name to go on markers on the old south emigrant road through southern Oregon is a grand publicity rfnvlra for this year's centennial observance of the south road exploration. It wasn't planned for that purpose, but it has done a Job of winning public atten tion that any publicity expert would view with pride if it were his idea. It is safe to say that thous ands of Oregonians, who knew nothing previously about the south road, have learned something of it since a group vUmnlli Mctnrians tflve Walter Meacham and A. L. EPLEY Greenwalt of the pioneer trails group a verbal barrage a week ago. Many newspapers carried the story, and edi torialists are now working on the merits of the argument offered by the local group that Applegate Trail, the scheduled name, hasn't sufficient historical basis for use on the mark ers. The Klamath people have proposed that the markers carry the words "Southern Route," chiefly because the trail was so noted in an act of the Oregon provisional government in 1847. Latest report from the controversial front is a suggestion of a compromise in the shape of "Oregon Trail-Southern Route." Whatever the outcome, there must of course be agreement that will make It possible to establish uniform markers on the route in this centennial year. Med ford View OUR good friend Herb Grey of the Medford Mail-Tribune jumped audaciously Into this controversy in an editorial last Monday. , "Applegate Trail is Best" is the way Herb headed his piece. Herb agrees with Mrs. Buena Stone and other local historians that the old trail was originally and officially known as the "Southern Route," but he points out that this name is too common and it can be found "in almost every section pf the country and on a goodly number of boxcars as well." Herb thinks it is all right to take a few liberties with his torical accuracy and give the route a distinctive name. Herb is an advertising man and he naturally takes the modern publicity slant which checks with our own inclinations. They Explored Eastward HE is a better advertising man than his torian, incidentally, as witness this para graph from his piece: "Although the historic Oregon Trail had been established three years before, the need for a southern route to Oregon was recognised in 1846 and the Applegates set out to explore this new road. They left the Oregon Trail at Ft. Hall, Idaho, looped down through Idaho to Imlay. thence to the present site of Klamath Falls and on to the Rogue River valley." The 1846 party of which the Applegate were members did their exploring in exact re verse of the procedure described by Mr. Grey. They started from Oregon and explored east ' ward to Fort Hall. Maybe we shouldn't take too many liberties with historical accuracy. Canal Danger WATER Is flowing through the government canal again and it's time for another warning on the serious drowning hazard that exists along the big ditch. STATIC The list of special events for tomorrow is still piling up, with the sports fiends coming out the big end of the horn. Two o'clock Saturday afternoon will be the starting point for a half hour special broadcast of the 52nd annual Penn relays, being sent out over the ether by ABC from Franklin field, Philadel phia. ABC Sports Director Har ry Wismer, assisted by able WFIL Sportscaster Tom Moore head, will give a running de scription of the one-mile cham pionship race and the one-mile shuttle relay, as well as a res ume of other events In this great annual show. This will re place the Concert orchestra on Saturday's agenda. Just a reminder here that the Gillette fights for tonight fea ture Welterweights Humberto Zavala and Charlie Fusari in a 10-round bout in New York. Back to Saturday and the sport fans. Following a half hour interim from the Penn re lays KFLW will bring to the listeners of the Klamath basin an on-the-spot description of the 14th annual Southern Oregon Northern California track and field meet from Modoc field. The meet this year will be kick ed off to a flashing start with 16 teams competing. Tryouts FRIDAY P. M.

MALCOLM EPL.CY Managing Editor m promise on that The Italian and elimination runs will be held Saturday morning at 10, with the contestants going out for blood at 1 o'clock- KFLW will pick up the meet at 3 o'clock and carry it through to its conclusion. Don Neal will handle the announcing end of the deal, telling you just what goes on up there at Modoc field in case you can't turn out in person. By pawing around in the mess on this desk I find that sports don't fill the entire bag for Saturday's special events calendar. "Musical Showcase," a special one time only feature, brings the best in popular music to Klamath Falls. The show will have Hank D'Amico and his orchestra and sextet, the Buddy Weed trio, Billy Butter field, Jane Harvey and a whole raft of other stars. Pete John son, cafe society's favorite boogie woogie stylist, will lend his talent to the show also. I checked with Baldwin con cerning his newscast yesterday and he assures me that he didn't mean to hurt the feelings of the holdup man in Keno, or to level any criticism at him. He honestly meant to say "stick-up artist" and not "stuck up" artist.

The Smortles Our attention was called to this matter by an incident which occurred yesterday. Tom Patty of The Herald and News photo engraving staff was working in his yard on Alameda street when he heard a call for help. He went to the canal bank and observed a 10-year-old boy clinging to the steep bank Just above the water. The youngster had ridden up on a bicycle, started playing on the edge of the bank, and slipped down the steep incline. He was unable to climb back. Patty's timely arrival may have prevented a tragedy. The canal bank seems to have a fascination for Klamath youngsters. Their parents should be getting busy now with a thorough Job of safety education on this subject. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 28 Mr. Myrtles said when he departed for Paris, he was "standing in the need of prayer," to quote a negro spiritual. He did not go otherwise either disarmed or somber as the suggestion may have appeared, according to my observers. He of fered the suggestion rather pleasantly. A journalist present offered him the sug gestion that he need no greater prayer than: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." The problem left to the meeting by the failures of the technical conferees to work out the final peace treaties, has caused concern among the high diplomats. The suggestion that we might be compelled even to make separate treaties came from a very high quarter. How ever, wo were compelled to do this by failures of negotiations after the last war. Unquestion ably the attitude taken by Russia at the con ference and the degree in which it is pressed, will be the deciding factor. British May Hold Back THE talk in diplomatic circles has suggested that the British may not care to go that far. On the other hand, some indications from Russian quarters have suggested that if she is allowed fortifications on the Dardanelles, con tinued occupation of Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, she may not press for occupation of the Dodecanese islands and Trieste. Of course, it will be difficult to get Turkey to agree to foreign fortifications on her soil and a com basis may prove to be difficult. treaty also is a serious stumbling block, and there are many others. As a matter of fact, about all that seems to have been agreed upon is that there should be peace treaties and the final principles on which they should be made. Whenever technical questions arise in dealing with the Russians, trouble al ways seems to develop. Byrnes In Dark AS a matter of fact, Byrnes did not know when he left whether Molotov, the for eign minister and right hand man of Stalin, would go to the conference or Vishlnskl. While Vishinskl is very highly regarded in diplomatic quarters, he does not qualify in rank with either the British foreign minister or the Amer ican secretary of state. Some of Byrnes' friends believe that if Molotov came, it would augur well for the success of the meeting, but if Vishinski was sent, it would indicate that the negotiations would run into the same diffi culties which they have had before. My guess is that the firmness of Mr. Byrnes' position will win at the meeting as it has at the UNO security council sessions on Iran. When that issue was brought into the council the last time by Russia, applicants of appease ment were saying at least privately, Russia had more votes than we had, or the issue would be very close, the most authentic pre dicting a vote of only six to five in our lavor. After frank discussion, the vote wound up eight to three against the Soviet move to get the council to drop the issue. Man Bails On Drunk Charge City police last night arrested Douglas H. MacKnight, 619 Pine, on a charge of driving while under the influence of in toxicating liquor and he was released from custody under $100 bail. The arrest was made at Broad and Main. Kenneth Conner, 2709 Kane, arrested for a vio lation of the basic rule, posted bail. He was cited for making SO miles an hour in a 25-mile zone on Riverside. William D. Van Cleave, Mer rill, posted $5 for running a stop sign at 4th and Pine. John R. Simmons, 2433 Orchard, was cited to appear in court today for making an improper left turn on Main. Robert P. Craig, 2525 Eber lein, was cited to appear for running a stop sign at Upham and Prospect, and Frank S. Riley, route 3, was cited for running a stop sign at the same corner and for having no oper ator's license. land hospitals was announced to day by the Portland council of hospitals.

PETER'S CHURCH. Rome. April 26 P) This is as close as you can climb to heaven in Rome under your own power. We are in the great bronze ball that holds aloft the cross above the largest and highest church ever built by man. The stupendous and beautiful basil ica of Saint Peter. This church makes the Egyp tian pyramids look like some thing built from kindergarten blocks. If mankind ever reared anything more lovely than this, time must have levelled it in envy. From the ground this big brass ball that surmounts Michelan gelo's famous cupola looks no larger than a baseball. But once you get inside it you find there is room for 16 people to stand in its circle if they don't mind a little crowding. Fitting Crown It is a fitting crown for a church which has twice the ground space of Saint Paul's cathedral in London and about two and a half that of gothic Notre Dame in Paris. Getting atop the main roof is simple. You walk over from the bronze statue of Saint Peter, whose right foot has been worn almost away by the kisses of thousands of faithful pilgrims through the centuries, and take a modern elevator to the top. Forty years ago you would have had to walk up, and near the last step are engraved in marble the names of many kings and queens who had to go the stair case route in the years before Otis. No Name Plates There are no marble name plates in the bronze globe above the cupola so I guess all the royal legs gave out before they got there. Or else they were too tired to scratch their own ini tials. But others weren't. Hun dreds of common folks who have made the long, tiresome climb have scrawled their identity in plaster walls along the way. The climb is made in stages. My companion was bearded Jack Thompson of the Chicago Tribune, who relaxed during war days by making combat jumps with the paratroopers. When we reached the cupola our legs were shaky and Thomp son complained mildly: "My beard is getting heavy." Acoustics Perfect The cupola is 138 feet wide and 405 feet high. You can walk around it inside and the people on the main floor look like a congregation of ants. The acous tics are so perfect that if you speak in a low voice against one wall, a person on the other side can hear you better than some one standing only 10 feet away. We were so weary we had to crawl one foot at a time up the last steps of the vertical iron ladder leading into the bronze globe. We lay there panting for several moments. Then Thomp son roused enough to brace him- Tan Zelan Jackets OREGON WOOLEN STORE FILMS Developed and Printed V 8 Exposure Roll In 9:00 A. M Out S P. M. Carmichael's Hews Stand 1004 Main St M1 T. M.

Sunday morning, April 28. Rev. Bollman is a graduate of Dubuque university of Iowa, and- the Agricultural college of Illinois. He is also a graduate of the Presbyterian seminary at San Anselmo, Calif. For the past 13 years he and his wife have been in the Phil ippine islands, connected with the agricultural college there as minister and student leader. When the Japanese captured the Islands, Mr. and Mrs. Boll man were taken prisoners, and spent most of two years in San to Tomas prison camp. These people are coming to Merrill as candidates to take over the work of the Merrill church. If the church so de sires, and the officers of the church are urging that people come out and meet the Boll mans Sunday. self against one metal side and peer through a small slit.
