This scheme was favorably discussed at last night's city council meeting, and there was approval from both those who are violently against parking meters and those who are rabidly for them. If the council wants to try the meters, and show its good faith in the thing as a trial and no more, it can prepare one sweeping measure to set up the meters, call the elec tion, and provide for the methods by which meter In come will be used. In all the parking meter discussions we have heard, we have been impressed by the lack of specific information available. There is a lot of opinion, but there is a confusing dis agreement about facts. Not having lived in a town where there are meters, we do not have enough information to form a definite opinion. But we think that if they were installed in Klamath Falls for a few months, we and most local people would have definite ideas as to their worthiness. A popular expression at the polls, by people who had seen the meters work in our town, should serve to end the controversy, once and for all. GOV. SNELL has gained over-the-state pres tige in his ruckus with the Portland school administration, which wanted him to .call a special session of the legislature to auth orize a school election on a levy outside the regular budget. He decided the situation did not justify the drastic step proposed. The subsequent criticism of the governor by the Portland school head, Willard B. Spalding, and the silly bobby-sox demonstration, backfired in the governor' favor. These developments served to give the gov ernor's action an aspect of courage which might not otherwise have been attached to it. The principal criticism one hears of Earl Snell is that he lacks 'political fortitude. The Portland attack places the governor in the position of demonstrating what a lot of people have intimated he lacks. It was intended to ridicule. It had the op posite effect. In four years in the governor'i office. Earl Snell has gained in stature. Repub licans will renominate him Friday. The CE on the hill has recently been put into shape, but the big K up there still looks pretty bad. We don't know whether to blame it on a lack of willing frosh at KUHS or a lack of whitewash, . . . . AFTER 15 years of fine service pioneering service at the outset Charley Pray has de cided to retire as head of the Oregon State police. He leaves the office with honor. It was Gov. Julius Meier who decided Ore gon should have a state police force. He set out to organize it in 1931, arousing a howl of opposition. It meant taking away some of the powers of various state officials. There was a cry that a state law enforcement organization ?ruld be arrogant and overbearipg. . y turned out all right, in spite of these dire predictions, and Charley Pray deserves the ma jor credit for that. He organized a fine force at the kiart, and he has kept it that way. There have been no scandals, and the state troopers have made an outstanding record for law en forcement and courtesy. The successor to Pray, Harold G. Maison, has been a part of this tradition. He should do a good job. Letters to the editor on Friday election Is sues will be unacceptable after today, unless they are strictly in the nature of a reply to ' previously published missives, and do not raise any new issues or charges which invite reply. We have long followed the policy of refusing to permit this department to be used for last minute political charges. OSC Honors Local Girls Southern Oregon women came in for their share of honors pre sented at Oregon State college, Corvallis, at the 23rd annual women's honor convocation, a feature of the annual women's weekend activities on the cam pus this past weekend. Mortar Board, senior women's honor society tapped as one of the new pledges, Moya Ball of Lakeview. Miss Ball also re ceived Delta Delta Delta's award of $75 as one of the two women who have exerted the most constructive influence on their college associates.

It is not difficult for a cell of a dozen CP members to organize a demonstration, as for instance the recent pre-election riot against the Japanese premier, and some recent New York union demonstrations against Churchill, and on political subjects. Enough people with griev ances can be found to demonstrate for practi cally any well-sounding cause, if enthusiasts round them up. Americans use such means only when thoroughly aroused. CP uses the technique as a matter of custom. Newspaper men covering mobs and demonstrations should ascertain and report the identity not only of the leaders but of participants in demonstra tions. Police also should get names and ad dresses, and pass these along to FBI through usual channels. Russia First BASIC idea of CP seems to be Russia first. Thus communist influenced groups agitated energetically to "bring the boys home" from Europe. They took the leadership in a move ment which was fondly wanted by American ' mothers. But Russia did not bring her own boys home. In France, CP ousted DeGaulle to cut the size of the French defending army; but the Russian army remains as large as ever. This is a typical Illustration of CP working internationally. CP line now is irreconcilable to lnbor management peace. During the war it favored cooperation between unions and management to get production, although earlier before Rus sia was invaded, it had the same policy as now.

Two important labor strikes in New York during the past few months are attributed solely to the desire of a communist influenced union to break and gain control of a parallel or adjacent union in a related in dustry. One distinction may be noted between com munist strikes and regular union strikes. The communist strike generally seeks political benefits. (Crusades for political issues or capi talist sabotage), while the union strikes are primarily concerned with wages and working conditions, and a desire to improve them. If wages are not the reason for a strike, look for CP somewhere in "the background. Changes In Line THE swift changes in CP line can be read in the Daily Worker, the communist newspaper in New York which now has a San Francisco edition. Recently the Worker has been attack ing Walter Reuther of the auto workers, David Dubinsky of the ladies' garment workers, and some other union leaders (generally socialists), because they stand in the way of immediate communist objectives. Next week Reuther and Dubinsky may be praised if the issue of that day serves communist purposes. Also socialists are cooperating with communists in France, and communists do not attack socialists there. In New York the state CIO council is re puted to be right-wing, including the Amalga mated Clothing Workers, but the left-wing, . including the communists, has free rein in the New York metropolitan council. Hence the left wingers can become spokesmen for 600,000 CIO members in New York City, a majority of whom are anti-communist. Communist Words THERE is no way a policeman can tell a communist. It would be inefficient and dangerous for any police department to have its force attempt to understand communist techniques because the danger of mlsjudgment is great. Yet in every police department there should be one authority who knows and fol lows communist theories, knows the telltale words they are using at the moment and is able to offer objective judgment. Every busi ness organization of consequence should have such a man, or be able to get in touch with one; also every union. Communist words now ift common use are "deviationist," "capitalistic contradiction," "mass base," "revisionist." There is ho way to resist communism in democracy except to know it. As a small min ority group, CP cannot obtain its objectives except through the ignorance of the majority of the people, particularly the people with whom they deal. I have no fear whatever that CP will win here as long as its activities are watched and understood by a majority of people. Marine Sentenced For Jap Bank Hoax TOKYO. May 14 VP) Marine Pfc Earl L.

The Jew is still one of the big ques tion marks ot Europe. His problem is one no sinKlc nation or group of nations has been able to solve, and he is trying to solve it now himself by seeking to get to the Shangri-la of most oppressed Euro pean Jews Palestine. There are believed to be only 1.500,000 Jews left of tile 6,000. 000 in non-Russian Europe before the war. The soft ones were trapped and exterminated. Most of those left are tough, aggres sive. They know what they want. Anti-Semitic Europeans and they run into the millions say the Jews are the brains and back bone of black market and other illegal activities in almost every country over here. There are Jews in the blnck markets, of course, but the charge is ridiculously overdrawn. I was discussing it recently with a friend, a young, intelligent American Jew who knows what is going on over Jiere now, I asked him to write me a sum mary from his viewpoint, and here it is: Through With Europt "It looks pretty much like the Jew is through with Europe. It's going to please a lot of people when you say that, but the rea sons for the statement are a little different than they think. "Even though the United Na tions won, the Jews lost. Their battle is being fought now, they are hardy souls who never die, and because of what is within them they are able to fight back despite the odds and the fright ful losses European Jewry has suffered. "Thousands of Jews wander about Europe seemingly aimless ly. Blindly this amorphous mass surges through the ruined roads, across mine-strewn fields, into skeletonized towns. "But there is a purpose. There is a leadership. There is a plan. These are the little people. These are me ones wno suffered. These i are the men and children from Dachau, Buchenwald. "They are going to Palestine. 1 They have few possessions, but 1 they have courage. Slowly they wander with hope and broken I shoes. Gradually they cross bor-1 ders, engulfing them, seeping ! through them. Nothing can stop i them. Like mute animals seek- ing new pasture after the hunger ! of winter they go. I Pol Attack Them I "Germany, Poland, Romania, i Austria, Italy. Italy, There Po lish troops from the exiled gov ernment attack and loot them. But the movement continues. The allied commission closes the displaced prison camps in the north. "The crowds surge ahead. UNRRA supplies rations. The Jews sell and surge to the south. UNRRA camps take them in, clothe and feed, clean them. They push blindly on. "They reach southern Italy. Along the Adriatic coast there are fishermen, tramp steamers, coastwise vessels. These are what these people want. "No longer do they stumble: blindly. The pattern Is clear. Shrewdly they join together, as ' always they must.

King's letter In Saturday's paper in which she quotes the luw regarding the operation of slot miichlnra. but I do not think the hlunie should bo pluced on Mr. Humble for not prosecuting these offenders. I believe Mr. Humble has lit all times prose cuted diligently when urrestlug officers have placed cuses be fore him, which Is his duly, but 1 do not think it is part of his duties to be a crustulcr mid go out personally milking raids. When the slate police arrested several people here some inuiitlis a no and charged them with operating slot machines, they were duly prosecuted by Mr. Humble In Justice court with the result that the defend ants were held for grand Jury action. When the cases came before the grand Jury in circuit court (Judge Vaiulenberg having de layed several months before calling the grand Jury) the Judge received from his grand Jury a report praising him personally for his competence niul also said ..
