After announcing their in tentions by resolution yester day, two of the committee men Indicated that they still hoped there could be a frank "around the table" confer ence In which the problems could be ironed out. This looks like an oppor tunity to get the Fourth of EPLEY July celebration and rodeo on a revised basis that will maintain the public confidence and secure the cooperation which will assure its success as a community-wide venture. There is ample community support for the rodeo and celebration, if the community's lead ership can get together on the project. Good Job THE Buckaroo Days committee has done a good job. Staging an event of this kind requires know-how, plus the contribution of a great deal of personal time and effort on the part of the directing committee. In these de partments, the American Legion's Buckaroo Days committee has excelled. Furthermore, the personal integrity and sincerity of the mem bers of the committee are unquestioned in the minds of informed persons. At the same time, there has developed con siderable opinion that the set-up somehow needs revision. It is suggested from some quarters that direction and sponsorship might be given a more community-wide character it is now in actuality a single organization's enterprise by the formation of a community rodeo as sociation along the lines of Pendleton's Round up association. This may or may not be the solution, but that there is need for something is evidenced by the situation that has developed today. We hope and believe that the Buckaroo Days com mittee and the Legion will be willing to par ticipate in working out a satisfactory plan. Circus Issue BUCKAROO DAYS committeemen yesterday complained that the city had cut the license fee for circuses coming in here, leaving the carnival fee at $1500. At least one person misinterpreted the com plaint to mean that the fair board had cut the fairgrounds rental for circuses, but was raising it for the rodeo. The fair board has toothing to do with the circus fees, and the two enterprises do not use the same grounds. All of which shows how easy it is for erroneous ideas to get around. The city ordinance provides for a license fee for carnivals of $1500 for a stand of from one to six days. Circuses of the railroad type come in here for a single day. The council has decided to pro-rate the fees for circuses on a daily basis. The fee is now $250 for one day for a circus. For six days, it would be $1500, or exactly what a carnival pays for a six-day stand. That appears fair enough to us. We feel that it has nothing whatever to do with the rodeo question. As for the latter, we think a lot of intelligent and reasonable people ought to sit down to gether and work out a constructive program. Unknown Soldier Speaks IAM the Unknown Soldier. You think I sleep beneath a marble slab. Upon this slab you lay green wreaths, your tribute to my memory. I have no name, yet you exalt me. I am a symbol. Nameless, my tomb is honored because, with other men, I fell in battle. We gave our lives. Fjr what? I wonder. I wonder most today. An armistice? Forgive me if I laugh. And if the tears course down your cheeks, weep not for me, but for the living. I am at peace. For me the war Is done. Grieve, rather for the young men doomed to die. Made in God's image, or our God In man's, men yet are beast, killing with claw and tooth to gain their earthly ends. You call it noble. Your country calls, you go, mayhap to death. To screaming shell, to gas that eats your lungs, making of conscious ness a thousand hells. To death by flame, by torture. Or you die quickly as I died, in one swift, awful blast. You wonder that I speak as nations war again, sending their sons to death? What meaning has this day, why lay these wreaths, if men are still to die because they dare not live? I do not know the answer. I only know that once we fought for peace. That wars might end. I have found peace. No more will thirst, nor pain, nor hunger gnaw my side, nor fever wrack me on a soldier's bed. I shall not know the fear of death or fear of life. I shall not want for aught. I shall not kill, nor covet. I shall not steal nor lie. For me there is an end to all you know. Grieve not for me, I beg of you. 1 grieve for you. Contributed. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 29 Fanciful stories are getting around about President Tru man's reasons for turning about so swiftly to seek congressional authority to draft the rail and coal strikers. One fictitious yarn being told is that he was threatened by a congressional leader with impeachment. That particular leader merely advised him to act. All his leaders wanted the action, particularly Senate Floor Leader Barkley, and members of his cabinet including Democratic National Chair man Hannegan who has been suspected by some democratic congressmen of CIO dealings. Another common story is that Mr. Truman was angry and excited. He was certainly angry. The strike was not only against national transport but against his administration and government, as he had already seized the carriers in the name of government. Whatever excitement he may have suffered must have been tempered by the knowledge that the solu tion he proposed was the one urged on him several weeks before, for use against Lewis in the coal strike, by the most weighty con gressional leaders of his administration. The most obvious explanation is the true one, although it was not much mentioned in the spectacular developments. He had to act. He had no government if he did not move. He might continue to collect taxes and issue orders, but the unions had made it plain they did not intend to obey. A government which is not obeyed is no government. Scope Exaggerated THE scope of the action also has been grossly over estimated. CIO unioneers have been shouting they have lost the right to strike, but this manifestly is not true. Anyone can strike against anyone excepting only the gov ernment. One senator yowled that the pro posal would make workers "subservient to the tyranny of management." Management got .no rights from the plan, but was to lose profits during government operation. Strikes against management could continue. Strikers would be drafted, under the original Truman proposition, to do their own work for pay (not in the army at S60 a month but for their increased wages) only if they refused to work after the government had seized a busi ness operation and the government could only seize an operation which is "vitally necessary to the national economy" in the opinion of the president. Obviously he could not seize the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of Sidney Hill man which could hardly become vitally neces sary to the national economy unless the strike had lasted some years and the people were going naked, if even then. By all reasonable interpretation, you must conclude that the last-resort draft would only affect those basic raw materials unions like coal, national transport like the railroads, and such CIO outfits primarily as the public util ities unions which could cutoff nationally elec tricity, possibly steel, but hardly autos in peace time, frankly it would appear to affect the leftwing unions and CIO crowd less, much less than the rightwing unioneers such as the brotherhoods and the Lewis coal miners, whose boss is republican, if the men are nbt. What the proposal did was to make their right to strike subservient to the right of the nation to live. RADIO PROGRAMS WEDNESDAY EVE.

A. B. Epperson, who set up in struments at The Herald and News office a year ago to help people locate the planet in the sky. said today that Venus will be blacked out by the moon Saturday. "This phenomenon is some what similar to an eclipse, in this case it is called an cultation.' " he said. "On date, the moon, which will be very thin new moon, will pass between the earth and Venus and will obscure the latter for about two hours. In the absence of local assistance in the calcu lations, I believe that the 'im mersion' or black-out time will occur at 3:30 p. m., and the 'em mersion,' the coming-out-from under, will occur at 5:30. During the twilight hours, Venus will have passed away from the bright side of the sun, but will continue, as it is at this writing, to be the bright eve ning star in the west. "At our elevation of 4000 feet here in Klamath Falls, we are blessed with a very clear at mosphere for such observations in the daytime, as well as at night. Don't expect to see Venus directly between the prongs of the moon, such as is seen in the star and crescent of the Turkish flag, for there is quite a solid chunk of opaque moon that is not illuminated. Neither will it be a case of now you see it and now you don't. I anticipate Venus will merely fade out at the time given. "Look due south at 2 p. m. and quite high in the heavens, for the moon and Venus, as they ap proach what astronomers call conjunction, will be 24 degrees above the celestial equator, or in other words, 18 degrees down the meridian from the zenith. The sun at noon that day will be 21 degrees from the zenith. Venus will be at the left of the moon, which at that time, being a one-day-old moon, will not be too plainly visible," Epperson concluded. Officers Allege Illegal Hunting STATIC Stopping right into thu renter of things for a timely nutlet, Americas Town Meeting will meet in Detroit tomorrow to t rlug under discussion the ques tion of government' role In the natiim'a economic life. Debuting the question, "Are We Moving Toward a Ciovernmi'iit Con trolled Economy?" will be Sena tor Homer rVrguson (K-Muii.), member of the senate appropria tions committee, and lU'iinnn VY, Sleinkraus, president of the Llridgeport Brass company and a member of Truman's labor re l.itions committee, for the af firmative, and A, A. Ilerle Jr., former assistant secretary of state and Walter Keuther, presi dent of the UAW, CIO, speaking for the negative. Those Klamuthiti's who have noticed the ruling of the elms along S. tkh, unit the general torn-up condition of the street, as a whole, will find a complete explanation in l.ois Stewart's story in this paper. In short, it's a million-dollar Job of widening the street for four-lane travel, along with nil the attendant dif ficulties of house moving, etc. KFJI, Mutual Station for Klamath Fulls, placed llth among 272 Mutual stations in drawing Tom Mix premium mull for the six mouths' period from October to April, which Just goes to prove that the old west ain't dead yet not in the minds of the thousands of kids who listep to this hero of the old west. Checking with Chuck Cecil, 1 find that he made the trip from Klamatl. Falls to Van Nuys hi eight and tint-halt hours, flying at an average speed of 87 miles an hour.
