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.
(To be continued in a coming column with
an outline of particular communist techniques
in reference to labor unions and demonstrations).

And for a few doys you feel

who still remembers to do an
occasional good deed.

The living room is surprising
