Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
AS this 1 written, Klamath's railroad work
era are on the edge of a general rail strike
that will go a long ways toward paralyzing the
nation if it comes off. 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?

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

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.

Another picture to let the
public in on what they're listen

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.

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.

There seems to be a miscel

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.

as to what or who he is, but
only that the "character" is sup

anyway, here's a few more pieces
of information that won't do
anyone any good. Mary Mar
