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.

Apprehension of impending , left on the sky after the fire
disaster from the skies is abun- bail's extinction and blown into

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.

Church School
Starts Monday
Vacation church school will
begin at the First Presbyterian
church, 6th and Pine, on Mon
day, May 27. 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

only serenit;' anil order and re
