Newspaper Page TextmANX JFNKINS editor MALCOLM rpi.it Managing Editor 11 Mi n ip i U.;f!Nrapa Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY HERE'S suggestion to all good citizens: Don't pass up tomorrow's election as not worth your visit to the polls, , It Is worth it It Is true that there are few intraparty con tests at this primary. But there are enough non-pnriisan deci sions to be made, between men and between issues, to Justify 100 per cent turnout of vot ers. And there are some party nomination contests on both ballots. It will take a few minutes to vote. Do it! Judge Contest THE circuit Judgeship, to ue EPLEY filled by voters of Klam ath county tomorrow, is the highest-paying and one of the three six-year public offices in this six-year public offices here are that of county judge and justice of the peace. The circuit judge gets S6000 a year. Other year public office here is that of county judge. Judge David R. Vandenberg's campaign for re-election has been based, in the main, on the grounds that he has rendered conscientious service for six years, and now, as an experi enced jurist, should be returned to continue that service. It is contended that an able lawyer finds experience on the bench important to his development as a good judge and that Dave Vandenberg, an able lawyer at the start of his career, has become an increasingly better judge. His work as judge of the juvenile court has been offered by his supporters as a factor in his favor. Commendation by the grand jury and certain professional sources has been cited in his behalf. On the other side, Mr. Humble has offered himself as a practicing attorney here for two decades, with a record of experience in both ' public office and as a private attorney. His supporters say he is a man of superior judicial temperament, fair-minded and just. They de clare he would preside over the circuit court with conscientiousness and dignity. As to the juvenile question, Mr. Humble has offered a platform of principles upon which he pledges to conduct juvenile court affairs in con formity with the best social thinking of the day. In his behalf is cited a rather active record of work In behalf of young people, as well as con siderable effort as head of the USO operating committee and other phases of military hospi tality. These are some of the arguments In behalf of the two candidates. The decision to be made is highly important it deserves the careful con sideration of every voter before he goes to the polls tomorrow. City Measures THE non-partisan municipal ballot contains three measures. We have already discussed the charter amend ment to provide for a revolving fund whereby the city can participate, as a property owner, in the improvement of streets adjoining lots it owns. A second levy measure is for one-quarter of a mill for just one year to provide funds for paving alongside certain small city parks. This is a small amount, for a single year, and no serious objection presents itself. The third measure requires more careful con sideration. This is the continuing levy of one and one-quarter mills whereby the city, as an employer, would participate in establishing re tirement benefits for its employes. This means a permanent levy, which will be placed upon local property each year. City employes, also, would contribute to the retirement fund, which is set up under state act for those municipalities which wish to come under it. Those who feel that retirement benefits will make for a better calibre of city employe, thus bringing benefits to the city for the money to be paid out, will vote yes. ? News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 16 The failures at Paris are due to several unmentioned, underlying facts: Russia dare not accept peace for the nations She has seized any kind of peace. She Is not strong enough to be able to withdraw her troops and open east-central Europe to our trade, news or normal peaceful dealings with other nations. While she is able to control or influence those governments through friendly politicians backed by troops, in the past year of isolated peace, she has been unable to win the people. A by-word has sisen in whispers among the Hungarians, for instance. When the Russians first entered Hungary, they rode in a great many trucks obviously American, and some Hungarian observed: "Here comes Chengis Khan in American trucks." The humorous allu sion has grown into a national Hungarian bon mot. It was apparent behind the voting in the recent election, when the Hungarians desired to give the Russians enough to keep them from becoming angry, but regarded their occupation as considerably under America's helpful au spices. The conflict or comparison between Rus sia and America is fundamentally in mind throughout Hungary and the rest of Europe. My direct inside information suggests the aver age Hungarian considers the Russians much less adroit than the nazis, and are patiently, per haps smilingly, waiting for time to prove the point. Program Boomerangs ANOTHER reason behind Russian quartering of 650.000 troops upon little Hungary (and 2,000,000 throughout Europe) is the condition in Russia proper, which has been mentioned be fose, but about which there is now fresh inside news. A British authority recently in Moscow tells of the tales being related by Russian troops home on leave from the occupied Balkans (Ru mania 700.000 Russians, Bulgaria 280,000, Aus tria 130,000). Hungry as some of these nations are, their general standard of living is still so far above the standard of Russia, that the occu pation forces are amazed and won over to ad miration by the luxuries they see, which are nonexistant in Russia. The program of Russia to seduce them to communist culture has been working in reverse. A letter in Pravda recently complained about dancing, presumably capital istic dancing, being taken up in one Russian province where the people were waltzing and two-stepping until 2 a. m. The Russians are being converted to Vienna faster than Vienna to communism, which makes the Kremlin un happy. Furthermore the 2,000,000 must be fed somewhere. So Molotov and his associates at Paris have been hard pressed to find reasons for delaying treaties which would restore peace and open these nations. My guess on Paris is that State Secretary Byrnes early discovered this situation, knew he could not crack it, and has presented Molotov with propositions which have progressively de- . veloped the ridiculousness and completely nega tive isolationist stand of the Russians before the whole world thus to weaken their diplo matic position. Molotov for instance claimed there could be no big peace meeting of the 21 nations until the treaties were concluded, and also stood solidly on the ground that the treaties could not be concluded beforehand. The British newspapers have been fooled into rationalizing these two positions, but the two Russian nega tives established the definite affirmative that peace could not be concluded. Molotov Block AGAIN Molotov tried to stave off peace in Germany by demanding disarmament, but when Mr. Byrnes proposed a disarmament in vestigation, Molotov turned it down. When Rus sia professed fear of Germany, Mr. Byrnes pro posed a 25-year Big Four pact to quell Russian fears, but Molotov immediately switched his fears to disarmament again and rejected the pact. To cover these absurd inconsistencies from the eyes of her own people at home, the Rus sian press has accused "forces of international reaction" (nameless) of blocking peace and at tempting to stir up another war although all the proposals at the conference were designed to get the troops out ot Europe (we have 15,000 in Austria, about one-ninth of the size of the Russian force, 30,000 in Italy compared with 50,000 of the British labor government forces). The only militaristic declaration projected into the controversy was by Stalin, who addressed his May Day message from Moscow almost en tirely to the red army, rather than the workers, and urged "further growth of military culture" (direct quotes from the message). In the face of this foolishness, a reorientation of Anglo-American policy will do doubt result . from the Paris meeting. It may not be sensa tional, but rather a strengthening of the Ameri can position.

"Trouble with liim is lie took elocution lessons ns a boy and hits never goltcii over ill" STATIC t V ' 1 lib iff Hungarian Money Plunges As Inflated Prices Soar BUDAPEST, May 15 (De layed) (fi) A single bank note worth one billion pengoes went into general circulation today as Hungary's inflation wrecked currency plunged on in an ap parently winning race to equal nothing. Before the war, when five pengoes were equal to one Unit ed States dollar, this new bil-lion-pengo note significantly displaying cheaper engraving on cheaper paper than any previous currency would have been worth $200,000,000. Today with the dollar bring ing two billion five hundred million pengoes, it is worth less than 50 cents. The average worker reported ly earns about a dollar a month. The average black market din ner costs about three. But the hardest thing to find in Buda pest is a man who lives on his dollar a month earnings. Every one mournfully admits that the dollar d month figure is correct, but no one seems able to point out any man who lives on it. There are undoubtedly suf fering people in Hungary but they are not to be seen in Buda pest's crowded theatres and opera house, or dining lavishly at Gundel's or quietly and ex pensively in the Colonial's shadows or noisily at the Derby club. Nor arc they standing in the lobby of the American Astoria hotel, holding a sackful of cam eras, binoculars and pistols. The government still has an nounced no anti-inflation action. Government circles once threat ened to punish all those caught with foreign currency, but noth ing ever came of it. The Hague conference in 1899 decreed that aircraft should not take part in war. It took us a long t.'me to get around to it, but here is the latest addition to the staff at KFLW. Larry Probasco, the boy who plays the piano, writes spots and sustaining shows and does most ot the record keeping. Laurence E. Probasco, to be exact, and he's not really as bald as he looks. He just ran his eye brows way up trying to peer out the windows of a B-26. A native Iowan, born at Ackley. Larry attended Kansas State for two years, where he played a pretty good brand of football, before giving in to the itching foot and shoving off. The first stop was Puerto Rico, where he went to work on the Puerto Rico Herald. When that job petered out (he laiiea to say why) he took up free lance writing and photog raphy, and covered most of this country and the Hawaiian group. Came the gloomy days of 1941 and it was Private Probasco. Somewhat later it was Captain Probasco, driving a B-28 around the skies over North Africa and Italy. July of 1945 saw his dis charge and him taking up studies at Broadcasters Network Studios in Beverly Hills. When he fin ished that course he climbed in the car. alone with 'his wifp Margie, and started north. And now he's working to bring the listeners in K. Falls better radio programs. Han Norland Auto Insurance, 123 N. 6th St. Black Market Reddles Babes SPOKANE. May 18 OT) A weil-estiiblishcd 'black market" in illegitimate babies Is being operated In Spokane and other northwest cities, often for pri vate profit, Salvation Armv of ficials declared here yesterday. Major Orilla Hirst, superin tendent of the Salvation Army women's home and hospital, said that 3 to 4 per cent of all live births arc illegitimate. She esti mated that 47 per cent of the adoptions of Illegitimate children are handled through individuals rather than through public agencies. She said she thought the "black market" could be elimi nated if legal adoption pro cedures were speeded up and agencies were permitted to place children directly in the homes of foster parents instead of in boarding homes for six months. She reported one Spokane couple waited seven years trying to obtain a baby for adoption through official channels.
