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

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.
Under the new schedule,
patients will pay daily $7 for a
ward, $8 for a two-bed ward and
$9 for a private room.

BOYLE'S
NOTEBOOK
Br HAL BOYLE
ST. 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-
