J)v mall monlh Si 00 By man tr fie ran EPLET Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY TWO important tchool district elections will be held in Klamatll Falls tomorrow, con cerning the budgets of school districts No. 1 (the city elementary) and No. 2 (Klamath Union high school). Voters of district No. 1 will j go to Fremont school between the hours of 2 and 7 p. m. The district No. 2 voting will be held at the high school building between 2 and 7. Any person residing in the district and owning property in the district may vote on these budget matters. They arc of such importance that there cVinuiri K a substantial repre sentation of qualified voters at the voting places. On the basis of what has happened at last Fri day's primary, that is an unlikely prospect. But maybe people who won't vote would like to know what it's all about. a District No. 1 THERE will be two ballots for district No. 1 (Fremont voting). One ballot is for adoption or rejection of the current budget of $510, 924.77. A vote is necessary because the budget exceeds the 6 per cent limitation. It is $137, 437.76 over last year. Chief factors in this In crease include the addition of 10 new teachers to meet a sharp gain in school population, and salary increases to meet the rising costs of liv ing. Straight operational costs are up 10 per cent. Retirement costs of more than $16,000 will be added this year as a result of state legis lation. : District No. 1 voters will receive a second ballot for adoption or rejection of a two-year aerial levy of $50,000 for each year to be used for an addition to Mills school, to increase ' classrooms and auditorium facilities. This will not only be a school facility, but will offer an . adequate auditorium for community use in ' Mills. District No. 2 VOTERS of district No. 2 (high school) will be presented with an overall budget total ing $389,171, an increase of $142,652 over last . year's budget A 15 per cent increase in enrollment expect ed in the high school, employment of six addi : tional teachers, a salary bonus for personnel to i meet higher living costs, purchase of new buses to replace worn-out equipment, and the retire ment fund, are among factors bringing about : tills increase. Construction of the new vocational wing at the high school, already financed, will be up i for authorization. i Rising Costs THE budget figures cited above show heavy increases over the previous year. It is cost I lng large sums to maintain the educational pro gram in Klamath Falls, yet the increases are i commensurate with the rising costs of operat : ing any large-scale activity. They reflect the : times as well as the growth of Klamath Falls , and the suburban area. ' Our responsibilities are clear but remember what we are doing the next time somebody rises up to say that Klamath Falls, as a com munity, never does anything for its kids. We are getting a little tired of loose comment of that sort from shallow thinkers. News Behind The News ' By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 22 Revolution hi France and civil war in Spain (opening guns in a new world conflict) are suggested j more emphatically now in private reports from Europe, brought back bv authorities of utmost "Responsibility (unofficial) following the Paris I conference collapse. !'- The politbureau before its recent reorganiza tion In Moscow, had a plan of action known to army circles, which was supposed to run something like this: First, a revolt by the French army heads, Paris police and union chiefs, on some pretext in France, to be followed immediately by a civil war outbreak in Spain, promoted by com munist agents to overthrow Franco. The Rus sian government would then ask the United States and Britain for authority to send the Russian armies across our occupied zones in Austria and Germany, to restore the peace in France and Spain, our forces being inadequate to the task. The red armies would then advance to the Atlantic, and equally important, to Gibraltar, narrowest link in the British life line, which is still of great international diplo matic significance, far more so than Spain it self. Movements toward this general end are re ported now to have received some acceleration since defeat of the communists in the recent French constitutional referendum. Bulk of the red army was moved some weeks ago, upon and south of the Danube river, nearer Spain, and British intelligence claims a command post has been set up by the red army near Vienna "whose mission it is to prepare plans for pos sible Russian intervention in Spain." a a French Army Anti-British AT the top of the French army is an anti British clique to which such a venture might not be distasteful in any manner con ceived. Also the French communist leaders, Thoraz and Duclos, can see their political power waning, although they managed to keep a strong minority of 47 per cent of the vote on their constitutional revision. Whether they will care or dare to bring the issue into revolution ary action now mayahinge upon the complete ness of preparations made for the event by the DeGaullists and other French political interests against them. The current question asked by some very good authorities relates only to which side can get started first. The communists are trying to get a firm hold upon three cabinet portfolios, interior (secret police), propaganda and foreign affairs, and if they could wield these posts effectively, they might accomplish their objective by internal reorganization without an open break. But truly democratic French political movements have gained great ground in the past few months, particularly the PRL (Liberty), coali tion of rightist deputies, the combination of the former Church-Baiter Herriot, and his radi cal socialists with the republicans, the conserva tive MRP, and so forth. Also DeGaulle holds too much of the army, even in absentia, for the communists to be too quick on the draw. (Reports that DeGaulle has been put under house arrest by the government in obvious fear of action by his friends, have not been con firmed.) The entire French situation is plainly draw- ing taut and the well-advised people here are eagerly reading daily developments in the news against this background of concealed internal tension. Civil war in Spain is being quite openly promoted. A fund drive has been started by American communists who have formed "The action committee to aid Spain now." The cur rent issue of the socialist New Leader (May 18) interprets this as a movement by "Soviet agents to promote civil war in Spain," tying the drive for funds for the Spanish underground with the current anti-Spanish case worked up by Poland (Russia) in the UNO security council. The committee apparently only wants $50,000, which would not finance much civil war but would furnish a promotional basis in this coun try for the civil war by Russian fifth com munists in Spain. i Surge In Latin America SIMULTANEOUSLY, a surge has been noticed in communist activities in Latin America, among nations somewhat close to Spain in racial ties. The number of communists in Cube now is reported authoritatively to have reached 300,000, and in Brazil (our best Latin friend,) the communist party has extended its member ship from 7000 to 75,000 within a few months. These developments at the very least betray new energy in the world communist movement, if not what strategists would call' a drive to encircle the forces of democracy, meaning Brit ain and the United States. No matter how the French situation comes out, or how soon, the open communist efforts for civil war in Spain and the recruiting campaign through Latin America will, without doubt, challenge Anglo American diplomacy as much as Russian re sistance to peace agreements in Paris. It may explain also why Russia refused to make peace treaties. Sound military authorities say Russia has enough military supplies for a minor campaign, but her economic condition is such that a major war could be continued only for a short time. Static Curtain Time, coming to you over KFLW at 7 o'clock tomor row evening, will star Harry Elders and Nannette Sargent in the leading roles of "One for the Old Man," a baseball diamond romance, tat July's atom bomb tests in the Pacific will be well covered by ABC correspondents, what with Fred Opper, Clete Roberts, Ray mond Swing and Larry Tighe - already laying plans to take off for the scene. Opper is ABC's far eastern correspondent and will leave Shanghai by navy transport to meet the USS Mc Kinley at Pearl Harbor. Clete Roberts, war correspondent of the network who served in both European and Pacific scenes of battle, leaves San Francisco in June to join the fleet, and Larry Tighe will pull out of Tokyo in the near future to arrive at Kwa- jalein by June 17. a "Are Church Creeds Essential to a Religious Life?" will be the question before the house when America's Town Meeting comes over KFLW tomorrow night at 8:30". Discussing the problem will be representatives of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths, and Paul Weaver, head of the department of philosophy at Stephens college, where the broadcast will originate. a a a Friday night's Gillette . fight will be a 10-round heavyweight bout between Lee Oma of De troit and Joe Walcott of Camden, N.

Even today, we find those whose astronomical mis interpretations often cause them considerable unfounded fear. Re ports of black spots on the sun, a spot of red on Jupiter, or light flashes from Mars are to some persons prophecies of almost im mediate terrestrial obliteration. One morning recently our radios told us that a certain com munity in Europe was in a panic. Word had spread that the splen did ring system of Saturn had been torn to bits. Hurtling our way at enormous speed, these rocky fragments would surely bombard the earth before night fall. Total solar eclipses arc still terrifying to some peoples. Many of us recall the eclipse broad cast from the highlands of Peru on June 8, 1937. We clearly heard the noisy din staged by some of the natives when old Sol was finally completely "blacked out. Comets Strike Terror Comets have ever been dis seminators of fear. These "hairy swords, hanging in the heavens, are sometimes thought to ores- age war. (Strange, no conspicu ous comet appeared to foretell the recent world conflict!) Even deaths from fright during the return of Halley's comet in 1910 were reported.

Even the beautiful northern lights are responsible for fears. the report at one tunc of an army seen marching across the night sky can doubtless be ex plained by the burred auroral arcs sometimes formed high in the henvens from horizon to horizen.

Orson Welles Tales Then there are the disturbing stones of huge stars suddenly exploding: of the earth's getting out of control and dashing into the flaming sun or out Into the freezing depths of space; or even of the descent of hostile armies from Mars.

The school will last for two weeks, Monday through Fridays, and will he held from 8 a. m. until 11:30 a. m. All children who are five years of ago and older are Invited to attend. There will be no general clan this year for those under live except fur those who are children of the teachers help ing. The program will Include Bible study, stories, music and craft work. Each day will begin with a fifteen minute worship service for the entire school, following which age groups will meet for their particular programs. A daily offering will be taken to defray expenses. A mLHsiomiry theme, with em phasis on postwar reconstruc tion, has been chosen. Mrs. Donald Cram will be superintendent for the vacation school, with Mrs. James I'lunlg er assisting. Teachers and help ers include the following: Mrs. Henry Perkins, Mrs. Greer Drew, bodies in their places, never look with fear Into the face of the sky.
