Despite a substantial lead in voter registra tion, the demos Just simply do not show up at the primary polls. There are always lots of democrats at picnics and ral lies, but not at the voting booths. Two years ago in the primary voting, more republi cans turned out than demo crats. In last Friday's election, it appears that several hund dred more republicans were on hand to cast their ballots. The lack of democratic party contests in Friday's primary offered as a reasonable explanation because the only contest of any local interest was a non-partisan affair in which members of all parties could participate. Just On Paper? UNLESS we want to agree that democrats are less Interested in public affairs than republicans, there is only one conclusion to be drawn. That is that the democratic lead in registra tion in this county is largely a paper advantage. It is possible that the more permanent pop ulation of the county the people who are here year after year and vote at every election is predominantly republican, while the democra tic registrants include many transients who are here irregularly, or who- are more likely to move away between elections. Democrats may point to the fact that in the presidential elections, this county has gone democratic regularly since Roosevelt's first term. But in recent years, that is where the democratic voting has stopped. Klamath county voted for republicans for governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, state senator, congress man, U. S. senator. All three members of the county court are republican. The district attor ney, county clerk, sheriff and surveyor are re publicans. On fit the. two state representatives is republican. Way Down WE haven't been very proud in recent years of Klamath's voting volume. In Friday's primary, it was still down below 30 per cent. Republicans voted about 36 per cent of their registration. Democrats voted 20 per cent of theirs. Republicans have nothing to brag about except that they did better than the demos. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 20 The Byrnes states manship went to Paris asserting its patience was near exhaustion and it would . make its own separate peace treaties if Russia ' refused again to join in. Russia refused, as expected, but the Byrnes leadership has come out of Paris, professing to ,' have been successful in finally arranging an other meeting in a month. Mr. Byrnes went over, with the nation be hind him, republicans, socialists, demagogues and polliwogs. Only the communists were then demanding his job. He has come out with his own delegation split, and the country offering advance hints of. genuine doubt. Senator Van denberg announced his patience was exhausted, if Byrnes' was not, and said he would not re turn to Paris in 30 days for a resumption of the impasse. The trans-Atlantic grapevine Window Fall Fatal To Typist FRANKFURT, May 20 tfP) The U. S. provost marshal's of fice announced today that a 38-year-old war department typist was fatally injured last night in what "appears to have been a . purely accidental" fall from the second floor of an American army captain's apartment. The marshal, Lt. Col. Red mond J. Connolly of New York, identified the woman as Miss Dorothy Knapp of Port Rich mond, Staten island, N. Y. He said she died in the 97th Gener al hospital 12 hours after she was found, nude and uncon scious, by a German charwoman in the backyard of the head quarters compound apartment. The officer who occupied the apartment was ordered restrict ed to quarters, but was not ar rested. His name was withheld. The dark-haired typist arrived here only six days ago from the United States. Connolly said she and the captain "came home ' to the captain's apartment, ,, which he shared with an Ameri- can male civilian, about 2 a. m.

Bui is there doubt about the wisdom of pur suing this foreign policy line further, merely politics? Or is it valid, genuine, inevitable? The facts to consider include these following: No Encouragement NO development wus announced from Paris to encourage anyone to believe that what could not be done on May IS, could be accom plished June IS. No suggestion of a chance of a change in Russian policy in 60, 90 or 1000 days has appeared. The reason most commonly ascribed for Mr. Byrnes' sensutional revival of patience (accepted by both democratic and re publican authorities) is that he is Just trying to keep the hope of a joint peace alive, without any real justification, lie is covering the total impasse with promise of taking a fourth try at it (.the initial pence negotiations having failed, as did the London conference, and the subse quent negotiations of the technical experts which have been continuous.) Now not a single position Mr. Byrnes took at Paris has been criticized in this country, except the last one, for continuance. His stand on the issues met popular approval. Russia has no Just right to Italian colonies upon which her soldiers never set foot, Just for purposes of building up her empire. Nor has her Jugoslavia proved any right to Trieste. Russia could hardly expect the reparations demanded from Italy (and Germany) which is so weak we must feed her, but just as she got the German machinery, she got in Paris, the Italian machinery as repar ations and ships. We got nothing. She won there also the acquisition of Transylvania by her Rumania, over Byrnes objection. Her Tito got Pclagos. She voted against Austrian acquisi tion of Bolzano province from Italy, and won that cause. She gave nothing, not the Byrnes 25-year guarantee of her own peace from Ger many and Japan, not disarmament investiga tions of Germany which Byrnes espoused and to which she gave lip-service only, not peace for a single nation. Whatever minor steps were taken at Paris, were steps in her favor, includ ing I suspect, the final step of continuance of the impasse, which effectively covers and post pones any diplomatic consequences of her adamant isolationism which will give nothing. Russia has fired twice at our military planes, once in Asia, once in Europe. Authori ties here do not believe these incidents were of the familiar Hitler character, and designed for diplomatic pressure upon the Paris meet, but were human mistakes' of trigger-happy Rus sian soldiers, who frequently get that way. Quiet apologies have been made to our military, but not published. She has succeeded in getting Iceland to deny us North Atlantic bases, which are an important facility of our occupation abroad, and of safety for commercial aviation. She has chosen to make a diplomatic incident out of what she calls "The Hooligans" of a minor American embassy employee with an actress ("Hooligans, meaning the gentleman struck, or made as if to, the lady.) Consistent THESE affairs come currently upon a year of effort toward peace, studded with similar events, such as refusal of Russia to enter the world monetary arrangement, the world air agreements, the world press relations, the atom bomb spying in Canada and leaving vacant the Russian seat in UNO. Far beyond politics, a question is thus in evitably thrust forward by events: Are we get ting along well on the foreign policy we have been pursuing, or would we have a better chance by dropping pretense and recognizing the facts, and affixing our foreign policy to these facts? Is it better to keep an impasse alive, by pretending it does not exist, or to accept it, for what it is, and go to work and make our own way in the world, as we are required to do anyway? Have not our official hopes for the peace been broken on the rock of Russian isolation ism? Should we pursue that lost line further? Or was Mr. Byrnes right in the first place, when he went to Paris? I am not answering this question. I am say ing events ask it. home from Japan in the near future according to word re ceived here by his family.

Adolph Hitler, alive or deud, is becoming a German legend comparable to Siegfried or Friedrich Barbarosaa. One year after his weird and cloudy downfall, the little man with the mustache still has a strange hold upon the affections of his defeated people. They don't curse him as the Italians curse Mussolini. Hitler has a secure place in their minds and memories because the Teuton clings to his leader longer than other folk He is born to the hero concept the superman who will save him from the malice of other lands and lead him to the doorstep of the stars. Always with a. sword, of course. Hitler Looks Good Now Many Germans who disliked nazl extremes and now foresee decades of humiliation and eco nomic slavery for their nation still look back forgivingly on the man who brought them to this sorry dilemma. They find excuses for the Inhuman ex cesses practiced in his name. They want to keep him in thei hearts without stain out of old loyalty, as a fond son would overlook the sins of a senile father. This applies to young as well as to middle-aged Germans. "Hitler was a sincere idealist who tried to do the best he could for his country," one intelligent, well educated girl told me. "He was German through and through. He didn't know all the cruel things that were done in his name. He was betrayed by men around him who with held information from him. "In the last months of the war he broke down under the strain and did things he normal ly wouldn't have done. He wasn't crazy, but sometimes he didn't know quite what he was doing." No Dir for Return There is no widespread wish ' to have Hitler back, but even I those who opposed him are glad of one fact that he isn't being tried as a war criminal. "It is well that he died on the 1 battlefield," said one German. "It would have been a national shame to have had our fuehrer sit before a foreign court to be condemned to death. We wouldn't like that. No true Ger man would, however he felt about Hitler." Most Germans believe Hitler is dead.
