Newspaper Page TextFRANK JENKINS Editor MALCOLM rPLIV Managing Editor iW'PWi'aiaaieww Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THERE'S good deal of skepticism about the proposed "trial" of parking meters for a six-month period. People have the Idea that this Is all subterfuge that once in. they will stay, regardless of whether they are a sound so lution to parking problems or are wanted by the public. If the trial is to be made, here's a suggestion that will make it bona fide: At the end of a trial period, let there be a public vote on the question. Let that be part of the deal when they are au thorized for trial. If parking meters are in- EPLEY stalled in the near future, there will be Just about time for a real trial by the date of the general election next November. The council can refer the issue to vote of the people on that date. Then, if they are as good as some believe, they should receive public support. If they are the nefarious instruments others contend, they will receive the public disapproval that will throw them out Election Week THIS is the first day of election week, and the Interesting thing about it is the lack of in terest. In past years, this stage of the campaign found a mounting excitement, and a great many people couldn't concentrate their attention on anything but politics. Right now, it is difficult to get them to give any attention at all to politics. It is true that there are fewer contests this primary election than usual, both in state and local departments of the voting. But there are certainly enough important decisions to be made at the polls Friday to call for a visit there by every worthy citizen. In this county, every voter will take part in the selection of the man to fill the highest-paying job in the gift of the people of the county the circuit judgeship. Every voter in the city will participate in the decision to be made on three fund-raising municipal issues. There are other important matters on the ballots. It Is time for people to be thinking about them, and they should resolve now not to let Friday pass without voting. That can easily happen If people do not wake up to their responsibilities NOW. The Forest Asset IT HAS become customary at this season, when public attention is re-directed to the danger of fire in the forests, to consider the economic importance of the forest resources which people are urged to protect This is a logical sequence of public discussion which has motivated the local "Stop Forest Fires" committee in work ing out its annual spring and summer program. Hence, it is again bringing an outstanding speaker to the community on forest matters. He is E. T. F. Wohlenberg, forest counsel of the Western Forestry and Conservation associa tion, who will give the main address at the an nual "Stop Forest Fires" banquet to be held tomorrow night at the WUlard hotel. His sub ject will be: "Future Payrolls Through Forest Management" The subject is of vital Interest to Klamath Falls and the Klamath area. The lumber industry, and the public which depends so much upon lumber for its bread and butter, is Indebted to the local American Le gion post for the continuance of this annual pro gram. The local post for about 14 years has sponsored this campaign of education on the importance of protecting the forest resource and on the importance of that resource to the future of the community. It is to be hoped there will be a large turnout of interested people at the Stop Forest Fires banquet tomorrow night. Reservations may be made by telephoning the Willard hotel. The Lions club is to be commended for cooperating by dropping its noon-day luncheon meeting Tuesday so that its members may attend the evening meeting. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 13 Some business ex ecutives, labor leaders, preachers and even police chiefs, have written me asking where they can obtain the objective exposure of communist technique which has reached the highest quarters here and was mentioned in a recent column. The exposure, work of a private business information organization, reached an extremely limited clientele and cannot be gen erally circulated. This is unfortunate because every thinking person should know and be able to recognize CP tactics. In view of the high interest, I will endeavor to furnish briefly some of the recognised strategies from my own rec ollection, with suggestions as to methods of detection and counteraction, as follows: An official of a foreign dictatorial govern ment has been quoted as defining the alms of CP action in one sentence, like this: "Wt who fight for the new right, for our right, cannot disturb ourselves about the old right which we want to destroy, any more than a soldier on the battlefield can bother about the life of the foe he is facing." This purpose is a quasi reli gion. As its zealots are a minority, it works primarily by Indirection to induce majorities to undertake leadership for its purposes. This is its basic principle and basic scheme. Example: The socialist magazine "New Lead er," of April 27, dedicated to an expose of all totalitarian enemies of democracy, meaning the communists primarily) charges that the Harold-Ickes-James Roosevelt organization of an Inde pendent Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions (ICASP), is loaded with men and women who have lent their names to the most prominent communist front organizations of past years. It names the people involved. "Cell" NUCLEUS of CP organization is a "cell." It is composed of from three or four to a dozen party members who join all organizations which can be used for their purposes. They specialize in labor unions and propaganda or political movement organizations. Next higher regime is a "section," which includes party members of a state, region or district. The CP men use many methods to wield their influence in these various organizations, but they are all variations of two recognized steps: (A) Not being able to control a majority, the CP men get together to install a secretary or board member thus to attain inner knowledge and influence, (B) they appeal to the American sense of justice on issues, without opening their own minds to our theory of even-handed jus tice. They thus get others to lead their political fights. . Example: Robert Brown In Editor and Pub lisher, April 27, measures the difference in ideals of justice by telling results of his inter view with a Soviet journalist traveling in this country. The Russian could not understand our 1750 different newspapers with different editors expressing their own ideas. Brown tried to point out that Voltaire, who is respected in Russia, once said: "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend unto death your right to say it." The Russian journalist there upon interpreted Voltaire as meaning a man could say what he wished "except to express fascist propaganda." "Mr. Brown concluded: "After a few more roundabout ways of trying to impress him with what our editorial freedom meant, we gave up. There is a basic difference in the Russian and American conception 'of "freedom." So also with justice. All For Russia THE American communist reflects a modern ization of Marxism by avoiding belief in democratic liberty, (he does not even think of it) and considering only the alternatives of com munism or fascism. Thus they prey upon our dissenting American groups, groups with griev ances, not for the purpose of correcting the faults of capitalism as Americans do but of undermining it for its ultimate collapse. This is a form of political sabotage, the old methods of mechanical sabotage having been dropped since before the war. These CP seed-cells would ordinarily be in consequential, choked into insignificance by the absorbing national American interest in prog ress. They were insignificant before the war. Since then, two developments have favored CP activity. The great admiration of the American people for the fight Russia made against the invading nazis has created a broad, popular sympathy for all things Russian, which Russian tactics in UNO has not yet destroyed. The minds of our people have been opened by the war to CP invasion. Secondly, our own international, political and economic policies are unsettled, not to say confused, in the transition from our all-out war effort. In a period of confusion it is much easier for minority cells and sections to do their work, a part of which is the promotion of confusion.

So you and the other Americans who arc moving in say: "Okay, you can stay." And for a few doys you feel like you're really a nice guy, a kind of grown-up Boy Scout who still remembers to do an occasional good deed. The brick house is big and square and new with white and purple lilac bushes In the bark ground, whose spring fragrance inukcs you homesick for Amer ica. You like the house until some day you notice it wii.m't built for guests. The living room is surprising ly small and there is a heavy iron fence along the sidewalk and a fence around the back yard.

He waves cheerfully as you watch from your window. He used to own two factories before the war. and he probably put the equivalent of $30,000 into (his house. But there Is so much work for the-hausfrau now, even with extra help. And one day some, body forgets ho put a burning cigar on the bedside table, and hausfrau points nut the burned spot with a silent, sad look. Soon she Is sad all the time. She hales to hear her front door cpened and closed so often by strangers, and stronge voleej ringing through the rooms. She and her husband become tired of living in cramped quarters and moving like ghosts in their own house. No Mora Smiles The smiles begin to "cease.
