Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
WELCOME, little raindrops!
No he-man farmer of the Klamath coun
try ever gave vent to hi feelings by such an
expression, but chances are a lot of them felt
a poetic urge wncn me smes
began dripping late yesterday
to break a protracted and
damaging dry spell.
Or maybe they just said:
"Doggone, it's raining, and we
can sure as heck use some of
that stuff."
Anyhow, It was a rain
whose value can be counted
in tens of thousands of dollars
at today's inflated prices.
(Charley Henderson said:
"Give us enough of it, and
It'll be worth a million!")
It brought improvement to pastures and
range lands, gave the wilting dry-land grain a
lift, and otherwise distributed benefits in the
agricultural community as well as in town.
There was no irrigation water shortage in the
Klamath country, but every phase of agricul
tural activity depending to any extent on nat
ural moisture was suffering. A few more days
of unsettled weather with frequent showers
would be welcome. The country can drink up
a lot more of that water.
Salem Moves Up
SALEM has joined the growing list of cities
with city manager governments. Voters of
tae state capital gave their approval to a council-administrator
program, which is another
name for council-manager government such as
is rather widely adopted among Oregon's pro
gressive cities.
The administrator will be appointed by
Salem's mayor and seven aldermen after the
November election. The aldermen will adopt
the city's legislation and establish policy as the
elected representatives of the people. The ad
ministrator will execute the policy, looking
after the city's business much as a school super
intendent attends to the affairs of a school
system.
It was Salem's fifth try at a proposal of this
sort. Apparently, the progressive citizens up
there refused to be discouraged by reaction and
timidity.
That's interesting in Klamath Falls, where
a city manager plan was defeated 15 or 20
years ago and Is still regarded by some retro
spective souls as certain indication that such a
plan would be disapproved if brought up in
this more enlightened age.
, Visitors
A group of good-will junketeers from Port
land arrived on a morning train, and to
' day gave the city and many of its business
! and industrial establishments an interested in
' spection.
The idea for this visit originated in Port
' land, itself, and Is indicative of a growing
; Portland interest in the huge northwest area
of which it is the metropolis.
It has now been about 20 years since Klam-
ath "came into Oregon" with the completion of
I the Southern Pacific's main line over the Cas
i cades. This city still faces partially to the south,
and it has ties with California that will never
! be broken. But in the past two decades it has
' become increasingly conscious of its place as a
' member of the Oregon family of cities.
: In doing that, it has found it necessary to
, fight occasionally for its political rights. Hav
: ing developed in population and economy later
man certain uuier sections ui mtr suite, it nas
occasionally run up against a stubborn re
sistance when it sought the things which it de
served by natural advantage and economic
development.
For example, the refusal of Oregon's legisla
tors to divide the 17th senatorial district is a
sorry record of sacrifice of a worthy proposal
to regional and personal selfishness. There have
been other similar examples.
But little by little, all of these things will
be overcome, so long as Klamath's aspirations
are just and it continues to develop in industry,
agriculture, population and prestige. Visits by
groups from over the state, such as that of the
Portlanders today, will help toward better
understanding of those aspirations and then-justification.
Fire Precautions
Urged By Chief
Despite last night's downpour
which thoroughly saturated the
country, there is more warm
weather forthcoming and the
city fire department today again
urged residents to watch chil
dren and matches and the care
less tossing of cigarettes from
cars.
Fire Chief Keith K. Ambrose
today reported a grass fire
which sent the trucks out at
3:22 p. m. Monday to Eldorado
and Painter streets. Cause was
listed as children and matches,
a combination which the chief
observed results in many costly

WASHINGTON, May 21 The White Hou
figured from the beginning it could soli the
railroads, and the mm would work. AH that
it would have to do is to put a man in the
head offices and keep him there until a settle
ment was reached. The roads would operate
and no material damage would be done. You
can do business with the railroad brotherhoods,
said the top layer of officialdom. All they want
is a settlement.
But John Lewis was considered another
proposition. The common inside government
description of what happened to him is that he
"blew his top." a new phrase beyond precise
description but meaning at the very least he
had misplaced his equilibrium. He lost control
of the negotiations and his men (his truce was
not fully observed) and probably kicked him
self out of the prospect of becoming the big
man of all union labor in tins nation, i
'A preponderant number of influential peo-1
pie had been hoping Lewis would assume the j
directing power of AFL, and then absorb the I
best oart of CIO. establishing a sound national I
union leadership, leaving the radicals, destruc
tionists and communists without union influ
ence. True Vnough, he brought the sit-down
strike to this country, an implement of de
struction which not even a communist would
advocate today. But he kept his industry going,
and his word.
They're Off Him Now
NOW, frankly, none of his backers for this
proposed leadership would vote for him for
doorman of the smallest union and for only
one reason, namely his cold blooded ham
stringing of the nation to get the power to tax
the people for his own social scheme in a super
government.
I have just heard from trustworthy authority
the story of the origin of the bitterness between
Lewis and President Roosevelt, which has been
untold these many years, leaving in mystery
the reason for their historic split. It Is in line
with his current search for power, and his
refusal to discuss wages and hours or working
conditions until he gets it.
After Lewis had advanced approximately
half a million dollars to the second Roosevelt
campaign, he entered the president's office be
fore the third term run. and, according to my
informant, requested that he be named on the
ticket as the vice presidential candidate for the
.U: I Thnt ninnh ho, l-tH.in ll 1 ,1 1 V'TI.
Denier. But" the storv eocs that
Lewis became so angry at the president's re-1
f usal, he slammed the door with a terrific i
crash on his wav out of the president's office,
A secretary, hearing the crash (Steve Early, I
believe) rushed in to ascertain the cause of
the commotion, and found Mr. Roosevelt laugh
ing. "What tickles you so much?" asked Steve.
Roosevelt replied that Lewis had asked the
vice presidency, been refused, and was so angry
he nearly knocked the White House down when
the right to tax another man.
No group can tax another group. ro one nas
the right to tax the people in any orderly gov
ernment except the government. This is true
even of Russia. The power to tax is the power
to destroy, and it cannot be wielded without
chaos, excepting by all the people as a whole
in their governments.
Petrillo Got Away With It
THE only man who ever got away with it was
Petrillo, the union caesar who collected
tribute of a few cents a record. But Petrillo
won the point in secret negotiations of a con
tract, and an act of congress has now been
passed to deprive him of his sneak-tax. It re
mained for Lewis openly to demand such a
right before even talking about the wage raise
due his men, thus causing the coal strike.
If Lewis can tax a ton of coal or a payroll,
the railroad brotherhoods can lay a 10 cent tax
on everyone who rides a train or tax the rail
roads on their payroll. Employees of a drug
store could tax every article sold. Department
store employees could lay their own tax on
every article. Delivery boys could tax a news
paper on every 100 papers sold. So could the
editorial employees, the printers, the telegraph
operators each levying his own tax. Such
sheer idiocy of everybody taxing everybody
else would make less difference to the em
ployers than to the public, because the people
would have to pay these taxes upon taxes atop
their government taxes. The employers would
merely add them on the price.
I hear people here saying Lewis is always
the bellwether of new labor techniques, and
that a union taxing system is what the nation
is coming to. I do not believe it. If the country
does let the idea get started, Mr. Truman can
cash in his chips, along with congress and the
supreme court. If unions get the taxing power,
all citizens can pack up and go fishing.
In my judgment as an editorial friend of
Mr. Lewis, he has suffered a complete blowing
of his top, whether or not he yet knows it. I
suspect his enemies brought him somehow to
this. Far from remaining a hope to save union
ism from self destruction along with the na
tion, Lewis has become leader of the most
audacious domestic assault upon human rights
in our time, an assault which makes commun
ism seem mild and benevolent by comparison.

BERLIN. May 21 I J') Were-
wolves eat doughnuts at dusk
At least the twe who howl
outside my front gate Just before
twilight do. They are German
children Manfred and Karin
but around the press camp they
are known as "the little were
wolves." They are probably the largest
consumers of doughnuts and soft
drinks per capita in what re-
I mains of the reich. Manfred is
easily a five - doughnuts - -dav
man and Karin is never more
than one behind him.
Manfred calls me his "Oiikcl
Amie," which is his own com
pression for "Uncle American."
He is a thin, blue-eyed boy, blond
as lemon pie and as active as a
kitten with worms. He is one
of the most affectionate kids I
ever saw. When he sees you
coming. he runs half a block to
,.., ii,-v,. v, tm K..t fi.,
feet
. Swv v, hri himifi
through the air, completely con
fident you will catch him. Then
he puts his skinny arms around
your neck and gives you a hard,
quick hug and looks up with a
smile that seems to say he has
been waiting all day just to say
hello to you.
It is this little mannerism that
has made him the pet of the press
camp and the king of the black
market in doughnuts among Ber
lin's younger set.
Stuffed At Press Club
The first time Manfred gave
me this "Onkel Amie" treatment
I was so flattered I took him
into the Press club lounge and
stuffed him so full of doughnuts
and soft drink his little belly
bulged like a pumpkin. The next
day he showed up with his pal,
Karin, who is chubby and red
cheeked and has brown hair. She
is shyer than Manfred and hugs
you only on specific invitation.
I suspect Manfred likes her
chiefly because she always lets
him finish the last half of her
second glass of soft drink.
They walked me home that
first day, leaving me at the gate
only after our hausfrau came out
and gave them a stern look.
Now each afternoon they wait
outside the gate, and "the dough
nut hour" has become a ritual.
Both children dress neatly, but
Manfred hasn't any shoelaces. He
uses telephone wire. He always
carries a small cardboard box.
The German woman who works
in the Press club cloakroom
says he collects cigaret butts in
the box and takes them home to
his father.
Both children seem to spend
the entire day roaming the
streets. They know only a few
words of English, such as vhello,"
"okay" and "bye, bye." Some
days Manfred says he is three
yean old, other days he says he
is four or five.
Tonrjis Ball Thief
I think he must be five because
he has started stealing tennis,
balls from the club court. As
the Press club has only six tennis
balls, Manfred is falling into
some disfavor. It is something
of a mystery why he wants them
as he is so butterfingered even
the Dodgers wouldn't offer him
more than a one-year contract.
"Manfred, find us a tennis ball

and you can hnve a doughnut,"
the correspondents say after
threats fail to move him. Man
fred immediately streaks for
home and returns with a tennis
ball or two. He always manages
to keep one in stock, yet no one
has ever caught him taking them
away.
Manfred is all sold on going
to America, a land which he
visualizes as flowing with soft
drinks, tennis balls and dough
nuts. He takes family responsi
bilities lightly. Once the cloak
room lady asked him if he went
to America who would take care
of his mother.
He thought that over from all
angles, took another bite of
doughnut and said placidly:
"Weil, I guess papa will just
have to."

Being a child star has its com
plications. Joel Kupperman, well
known "Quiz Kid," is losing his
lisp. Only it isn't a lisp at all,
according to director of the
speech and hearing clinic at
Northwestern university. It was
just the fact that Joel's brain
worked faster than his tongue.
Now the tongue is catching up.
By fall, say the experts, there
won't be a trace of lisp left.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To

interested In your extracts from
General Fremont's diary and
your comments on the same.
You stute it Is not known
whether Fremont camped on
Cherry creek or on Seven Mile
creek the night of May 7, 1846
and again on May 10.
In the Interest of the accuracy
of curly Oregon history I woulfl
like to slate that tho exact spot :
of Fremont's camp on those i
dates has been very definitely lo- I
cated, not on Cherry creek nor j
yet on Seven Mile but on a
small stream between these two. I
locally known as Fremont
creek. The camp site wus )ut
south of where Nanny creek
flowed ut that time into Fre
mont. This is on Ihe extreme
southwest corner of Section 11,
Tp 34 S. R (IE which was home
steaded by S. A. Brown unci li
now a purt of my ranch.
In clearing Mr. Brown discov
ered the remains of the original
Fremont camp and quite defi
nitely verified the dates of Its
occupancy by the remains of
trees cut at that time and trees
grown tm the spot since. He
named the stream in honor ol
tne distinguished visitor. The
creek is not visible from the
road.
Yours truly,

ABOUT UNION!
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore., (To
the Ktlllor): 1 hud the dlspleasura
of rending a lull page add In
Saturday's Herald und News
urging every cltleii In write suit
demand legislation lo control
unions, which they suy arc
thrculenlng public health and
welfare1.
Any person. If Ihey will only
stop und think a munieul, will
reulUe whul a inls-slutemeiit of
fuels that statement is,
The auto workers, sleel work
ers, lumber workers and coal
miners wero anklug und uru only
usklng (or what Is rightfully
theirs.
Let's take some figures: Sine
1U40, lumber prices have In
creased $17.63 per thousand fuel
or 80 per cent, while wuges liuvt)
Increased 371 cents per hour, or
36 per cent. If the operators wnej
making a prolll In IU40, tlmii
they sure ate mukliig hug prof
its iiuw.
As lo the Klumiilli Automobile
Dealers ukbocIuIIoii printing a
full puge utlil, II Just shows they
ure sore becuuse they cuu't gel '
all the new curs they tun sell,
so us lo niuke their share of the.
nullum prolils. Ihal is as It
should be, but. If the coal coin
punles would give Ihclr workers
a decent wuge und so on with tho
stel companies and aulo manu
facturers, then there would ba'
naw curs for ull who could af-f
ford (hem. And thut Is as It
should be, but why do three lurgej
companies waul to make all (he
prolll and not puy the workers
a decent living wuge? When III
automobile Workers were on
strike, would General Moturs
submit their books to (he gov
ernment for Inspection? No! And
why? Ilecuuae Ihey didn't want
the public lo know how much
profits ihey were making. The
cur dculers have curs (o sell: the
grocery store bus groceries to
sell, ami the clothing stores have
clothes to sell; and the laboring
niuii, who produces them all, hus
his or her labor to sell, so why
shouldn't they get a (ulr prolll
fur their labor also? They should,
and If going on strike Is Ilia only
way Ihey can gel It, then 1 suy
strike, and no crippling legisla
tion should be made to atop llieiu.
I could write a whole) book or
a full page add, but I dun'l make
the prol its from my commodity
(labor) Ihut the aulo dealers'
association does from theirs, so
I will only suy, "Bo sure and
write your senators and congress
men, but toll them not lo pass
any measure that will further
cripple or hundicap our unions of
this notion."
