By the time this is read, the answer will probably be on Page One. The government has taken over the railroads in an at tempt to avert this strike, and it has taken over the coal mines in an attempt to end a dispute that has struck a dan gerous blow at the heart of the nation's economy. The pur pose may not be realized in either instance. These are two gigantics, coming in the wake of other EPLET sweeping stoppages that have slowed production at a time when production is desperately needed. Looking over the sorry picture, is there any one who will say that we Americans are using good horse sense in settling our industrial and labor problems? a a a a Natural Resources Council THE unique Modoc county defense council's natural resources committee is going to keep right on going with its program of meet ings and activities in behalf of the big neigh boring Northern California county. This decision was made last night, when about 40 men gathered in the ranger station at Crowder flat for a successful session of the organization. The committee was formed during the war period, as a subsidiary of the Modoc county defense council. The war is over, and the de fense council has passed out of the picture. But interest has continued in the natural re sources committee, which concerns itself with forest, range, land, water, minerals, and other Modoc natural assets. A suggestion that the committee give up the ghost was unanimously rejected last night. Instead, it will take on a new name the Modoc Council of Natural Re sources as well as a new lease on life. The new chairman is A. B. Hood, lumberman, and another year of constructive work for the good of this general region lies ahead Never Again KLAMATH chamber of commerce now has about 700 members too many to crowd into any local dining room for a dinner meet ing. So, this week, as an experiment, the cham ber tried an auditorium type of annual meeting, at the high school. Exactly the same program of music and speechmaking was arranged that would be given at a dinner but the cost was not a cent and everybody could go, whereas dinners nowadays run up to S2.50 a plate and attendance would be restricted. About 30 or 40 turned out not many more local people than the visitors here from Port land for the event. All of which shows a queer quirk in human nature. Charge 'em and they overflow the place. Let 'em in free and nobody comes. There won't be any more auditorium type of annual meetings of the Klamath county cham ber of commerce. a a Shrine Dance THE Klamath Shrine club has been outstand ing among Shriner organizations in Oregon In support of the Crippled Children's hospital at Portland. Its contributions have been gener ous, and in this humanitarian effort it has en joyed strong support of the general Klamath community. Another Shrine club dance as a benefit for the hospital is scheduled for June 1. Whether we dance or not, this is an opportunity to make personal contributions to a grand cause. Thousands of tickets should be sold in the Klamath area for this dance. Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 23 The new Byrnes peace plan is this: We will go back to Paris June 13 and talk to the Russians, and if they do not agree to negotiate a peace for Europe this fiftli time, we will ask the UNO assembly meeting in New York next September 3 to investigate and try to make a peace. It is a change from the pre-Paris Byrnes plan to go ahead and make separate peace treaties himself if Russia blocked the Paris processes, as she did. The new program projects these reasonable expectations: In the assembly Mr. Byrnes would win, eventually. What he wants for the peace is not opposed critically by anyone ex cepting Russia. Among the 54 nations in the assembly, his views would be as popular as in a conference of the 21 victors; which he pro posed at Paris, and Russia rejected. No doubt he can win nearly anywhere excepting in a Big Four meeting with Russia, or a similar gather ing where unanimity is required. But he does not stand much of a chance of getting a peace this year. No one really believes Russia will change her tune and open her con quered nations to our trade and withdraw her soldiers, as peace would require. Further talk at Paris next month is expected only to develop more excuses for not doing this. The debate later in UNO is apt to be long. Swift con clusions would be difficult. The diplomatic argument is likely to string on into next year if this line is followed. a Molotov Backed Up THE diplomatic ins and outs of the matter are these: By straightforward diplomacy at Paris, Byrnes jockeyed Molotov Dock and back from any reasonable pretense of Justification for obstructionist Soviet foreign policy. Byrnes made successive proposals, based on right. His suggestions enjoyed world support. To fend them off, Molotov had to abandon any pretense of seeking universal justice and retreat into contradictions. This was a diplomatic victory but of what substance? The substantive result is to delay world restoration indefinitely (which seems to be what the Russians really want.) Also delayed are anv consequences Russia could suffer before the world for her position at Paris. Indeed, Mr. Byrnes dulled his own support in this country for the ideals he presented at Paris, by pro jecting them into a long lane which has many a turning. Similarly Mr. Byrnes flung his arm around Republican Senator Vandenberg and succeeded in creating a valid appearance of American political unity, where he might have been able to use a little opoosition to better advantage in dealing with the recalcitrant Russians. Op position here would have strengthened his hand, because the only opposition is by those who are getting a little tired of the Russian line. The state secretary could then tell the Russians they had better hurry or they would get some thing worse. In negotiations he could use oppo sition to point out to the Russians that he could not give in upon certain propositions. So unity itself can work for Russian advantage. Mr. Byrnes does not believe this. He thinks he has carefully worked up a perfect case and, lawyer and politician that he is, he has. Yet it is perfect only in theory, and the ques tion is how will it work out in action. a a Too Little And Too Late? IN short, the question is whether the new pro gram will prove to be too little and too late, or enough and in time . The communists are openly planning civil war in Spain. The UNO security council is in vestigating the wrong thing, namely, whether Franco is a threat to the peace, whereas Franco's Spanish army and resources are weak, while the communist military forces are greater than any in the world (except in planes, atom bombs and navy.) Symptoms portending revolt In France have become evident. Strong anti communist undergrounds are being organized throughout Europe. The one in Poland numbers upward of 50.000 and has been blowing up post offices, banks, and railroad junctions. Fight ing by and against communists is raging in China and Iran. An anti-Tito underground has sprung ud in Jugoslavia but is not yet ready to operate oDenly. I have seen an authoritative report that the Russian government has lost "some confidence" from its people. Europe could become a ball of fire by next September or the first of next year. If any parts nnrtont. ncfrue the Rvrnes olan will become obsolete. Consideration of peace treaties will be gone wnn me wina SIDE GLANCES ( g tMWCT TT Off com t4 it mn srmcr wc "Yes, he liWiiUM. mo in Porta, nml I'm here bromine he toltl me this was a nijht club with two bunds!" STATIC Modoc Council Elects Hood A. B. Hood of Klamath Falls, Canby and Alturas was named president of the Modoc County Natural Resources council in session last night at Crowder Flat, ranger station in the midst of the huge Modoc national for est. Hood is manager of the Ralph L. Smith Lumber company in terests in this area. He succeeds Bayley Dorris, Alturas stock man, as president of the natural resources council. Russell Bacon, Modoc forest staff man, was re named secretary. At last night's meeting, the group decided to continue its ac tivity under the new name of Modoc Council of Natural Re sources. It was originally formed as a wartime committee of the Modoc Defense council. It will now stand on its own feet as an independent organization. The council voted to support the Cordon senate bill for gov ernment payment of funds to local government in lieu of taxes on federal owned property. An advisory committee on for est protection against 'fire was authorized, and the group also gave serious consideration to pending legislation on pine beetle control. Prior to the evening dinner and meeting, the visitors were shown test plots in the forest area where there are fenced en closures to show the difference in browse conditions inside and outside the enclosures. The Modoc forest staff was host at dinner. In Hospital Mrs. Mitchell TTrrpla nf PH patient at Klamath Valley hospi tal wnere sne naa recent sur gery.

Last Another picture to let the public in on what they're listen ing to; this time it's one of the stars of "My True Story," Gloria Mann. There isn't much else to be said, except that she's pretty well-known on a number of ABC net shows. a a The weather in Klamath today is just about like a man taking a good big slug of whiskey. First he gulps it down, then gags, screws his face up into a picture of awful pain, stamps on the floor to get it down, fans his mouth weakly and then grins and says, "Gee, that was good." People here run from store front to store front, dodging the rain squalls, howl because we can't work in our gardens, cuss the mud and water on the streets, and then tell each other how good it is for the country. a a .a There seems to be a miscel laneous collection of stuff around concerning tomorrow's programs, so here's a brief resume: At 8 in the morning George Gibson of Chicago, fore man of a highway maintenance crew, will be saluted by Don McNeill as the "Breakfast Club ber of the Week." Reason being that Gibson recently risked his own life to snatch a woman from an on-rushing streamliner. Another occupational forces story from Japan will be the sub ject of Marvin Miller's Coronet Storyteller at 10; 3:30 p. m. will find Eb and Zeb. the two old guffcrs on Al Pearcc's show, still worrying about their elec tric player piano. Jumrj to 9 in the evening and Alan Young will bring a new character out of the hat, with no advance tips as to what or who he is, but only that the "character" is sup posed to cause a lot of trouble for Alan, Betty Dittenfeffcr and Hubert Updyke. Since a sched ule like that doesn't mean much anyway, here's a few more pieces of information that won't do anyone any good. Mary Mar low, lovely vocalist with Sammy Kaye's orchestra, has been chosen the Girl-of-the-Month by the men of the aircraft carrier Shangri-La. (Ah, the good old days.) Ken Niles, emcee of Darts for Dough, will be the guest of honor at the Studio City Lions club meeting Friday. Four Counties Urge Flag Road PENDLETON, May 23 (,Vt Four eastern Oregon county courts will make an urgent ap peal to the state highway com mission for construction work on the Three Kings highwuy in Oregon. Representatives of Umatilla. Grant, Harney ami l.uke coun ties meeting here yesterday who agreed on the appeal stated that condition of the road be tween Seneca and Burns had made the highway almost im passable. They will ask that construc tion under contract In 1941 but deferred because of the war be resumed at once, contending that the state highway depart ment had agreed to do so but was now using the project's fund for other work. Those attending the confer ence yesterday were Forrest Cooper, Lakeview; County Judge Nelson B. Higgs of Har ney county; Gus Bnrdwell. Burns mayor; E. B. Bennett, president of the Burns chamber of commerce, and Guy Johnson, Pendleton. K. F.
