The WAA man further states the Barracks could be sold to a governmental agency at dis count "up to 100 per cent." On its face this is a strange sequel to a statement by the state board of higher educa tion Monday to the effect that the board was abandoning any effort to establish a college at the Barracks this year because of the "inability of govern- EPLEY mcnt to make the Klamath Barracks available to the board on terms acceptable and in time to organize it as an educational unit" by Sep tember. Not That Simple . THE apparent inconsistency of those state ments inspired a couple of long distance calls by us this morning. We were told by a reliable source that getting the Barracks for the state school use certainly was not as simple as indicated in the front page dispatch today. This source said the state would have been required to file another application for the plant, offering market value, and then applying for a discount. In view of the fact that the state had battled for three months already trying to get a definite understanding with the government on the matter, it appeared highly unlikely it could go through another complicated process in time to set up a school at the Barracks this year. Our informant, whom we can't quote by name, said this: "It's a crying shame this thing did not go through, and the blame can be laid 100 per cent on the bureaucrats in Wash ington." This informant said that the state first ap plied on March 12. It took the navy 30 days to let loose of the Barracks, and it took the war assets administration many weeks to clear it through to the regional WAA office in Port land. Ten days before the board met, there was still no definite word at the Portland WAA office. Our source added that if the government agencies navy, WAA, etc. had acted promptly in reply to the state's efforts, the deal might well have been sewed up in the spring and an educational unit assured -at the Marine Bar racks this fall. The added information was given that state board officials and the governor's office had sent numerous wires and letters trying to -break loose a little action out of Washington, all to no avail until it was too late. Bogged Down THERE have also been Intrastate complica tions. The money had to come from the emergency board, and the spending had to be done by the board of higher education. There never seemed to be any definite un derstanding as to which should act first. The Marine Barracks educational project a swell idea got so badly tangled up in govern ment red tape that it simply bogged down. Those who were against it must have enjoyed the spectacle. 1 Vocational School MEANWHILE, the WAA says the Barracks Is for sale, and that a governmental agency might get a 100 per cent discount. . R. C. Groesbeck, member of the board of i higher education and a warm friend of the Barracks educational plan, asserts that this community should organize an effort to get a vocational school established there. It is reported officials at Oregon State college the applied arts school" of the state system are friendly to this idea. Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, June 13 The outburst ot Justice Jackson against Justice Black is being widely shushed as only an outcry from a personal quarrel. That is the least of it. What is behind it is far more sensational and important, to wit: A clique headed by Mr. Black has gained ascendancy in the supreme court, the Roosevelt appointees of which are split three ways to the utter confusion of law. Black's associate) in the top faction is Justice Douglas. Black has man aged increasingly in the past year, by various means, to get a majority, sometimes only of one vote. Enough of the other Justices do not know where they want to go to permit an inner chaotic condition to become solidified under manipulation. Now Jackson struck out in such an amazing and unprecedented manner because he saw in the Vinson appointment to the chief justice ship, a chance to break the Black faction. A story is being commonly told on the inside that Jackson was motivated by the activities of Black and one or more of his unidentified colleagues on the supreme bench in inducing Mr. Truman not to appoint Jackson to the top seat. There have been reports that Black directly threatened to resign if Truman chose Jackson. Clean-Up Seen HOWEVER that may be, the controlling point is Jackson interpreted Mr. Truman's choice of Vinson as a move by the president to clean the highest bench of the confusions in legal decisions which have corrupted law, in fact have comprised a revolution, a social revolution, upsetting the great bulk of legal customs and precedents, a revolution which has not settled into any stability or effected any common ac ceptance of new law, but which plunges deeper and deeper as it proceeds. In this interpreta tion of Mr. Truman's intent, Jackson was right. Indeed, the conditions Jackson describes con cerning the internal affairs of the court, explain conclusively why Mr. Truman resisted the pressures to appoint a sitting member to the top seat, but got an outsider and one of his own personal friends for the job. (Truman called in Justices Hughes and Roberts who told him of the inner court condition.) It would be inaccurate to predict any swift success for this endeavor, however, even with the president, Vinson and Jackson collaborating. The Black faction has a hold on the internals of the court, from its long build-up of power over the years. (Jackson says their machine reaches even to the inspiring of columnists). Chief Justice Stone could not do it, and Vinson merely replaces the temperate legal inspira tions of Stone. For these reasons, if not equally strong demo cratic political reasons, there has been little talk of impeaching anyone, or doing much in vestigating, and congressmen were slow to react. Whatever is done is apt to be done quietly. The average democratic congressional attitude has been to ignore the court as much as possible. Indeed, private lawyers stay away from it as much as possible, and outstanding legal authorities have publicly advised young lawyers to compromise cases in private, and remain out of the court as much as possible, because of its political nature and remain out, until a judicial nature is restored. One Wasp Out THUS Jackson lifted the hive on the bench only an inch and let out only one wasp, confirming with inner facts a condition which has been public knowledge for some years, affecting as he said "the reputation of the court for nonpartisan and unbiased decisions." He merely contributed to public knowledge by revealing Black's inside leadership in the case of his former law partner, his influence on Justice Murphy to write his opinions, and such matters. Black's refusal to withdraw from the close decision and his change of opinion from the time he sponsored the very same law in congress, and 12 months earlier in. another decision in which his law partner was on the other side of the case, was apparent in the record at the time, but never before advertised by his court colleagues. This is no fight between conservatives and liberals. It is a reflection of the bitter cleav age in leftwing to liberal ranks, and against the Black court leadership now that Roosevelt appointees have the whole court practically to themselves. It is developing into a movement by the liberals to oust the radicals. SIDE GLANCES COHt IW IV Ktk MVKT. Iwo. T. M-Twa U.

In years past this drive has been handled by one of the lo cal service clubs, but this year the chamber has taken over the initiative and banded all ser vice organizations into a com mittee to stage the campaign. Nick Long, representing the chamber of commerce and Klamath Merchants association , is director of the committee and members are Benny Burgess of the 20-30 club, John Sandmey- er, Klamath County Health asso ciation; Warren Bennet, Rotary; i Greer Drew, Kiwanis; E. S. Rob- inson. Lions; Martin Putnam, Jaycees; Annis Struthers, Busi ness and Professional Women; Lillian Hillis, Soroptimists; Jim Patterson, Boy Scouts, E. A. Thomas, city engineer, and a representative of the fire de partment. The committee will probably decide to cover the business dis trict in the clean-up drive first, and then get the residential sec tions later in the summer. Army Fliers Arrive For Portland Show PORTLAND, June 13 CP) The first of a group of army fliers who will present an air show at Portland army air base Saturday and Sunday have ar rived here.

G. Robert Dodson, wing commander, said. 1 Jury Indicts Ship Officers SEATTLE, June 13- UP) Six officers and the skipper of the Liberty ship Frank B. Kellogg were indicted yesterday by a fed eral grand jury on charges of theft on the high seas. The indictment accused the officers and Capt. Louis Guille mette of pilfering 125 cases of cigarettes from the vessel's cargo. Twenty-seven crew members al so were charged when arrests were made as the ship docked here last month, but their cases were not taken ud by the iury yesterday. ! The 27-year-old shipmaster from Woonsocket, R. I., told re-1 porters following his arrest that pilfering cargoes was common ; practice in the Far East, where I his ship had been, but that he was unaware of anv such act v. ity on his own craft. The World Today Br DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst England's outspoken Foreign Secretary Bevin, whose blunt ness is one of his notable char acteristics, came close to out blunting himself yesterday dur ing his extemporaneous speech on his conduct of Britain's policy at the annual labor party conference in Bournemouth. Mr. Bevin climbed two craggy peaks, from which there is no retreat. These were his declara. tions regarding the Palestine crisis and his two-fisted program for the forthcoming Paris con ference of Big Four foreign min isters which -failed in its last session. As for Palestine, he set news bulletins flashing around the world when he announced that he would reject immediate im migration of 100,000 Jews to the Holy Land. He was equally direct regarding the Paris meet ing, vowing that if negotiations bogged down he would sign separate peace treaties with the defeated European nations. A week earlier he had character ized this parley as "one last at tempt" to gain Russian coopera tion for peace. It is worthy of note that the labor party, which is the present ruler of England, tendered the foreign secretary an overwhelm ing vote endorsing his conduct of foreign affairs. Possibly A Maneuver Bevin gave his Palestine state ment a tinge of optimism by .a qualification, and made some pointed remarks which gives one to wonder whether he was doing some maneuvering in hope of securing more assistance from the United States in settling the difficulties in the Holy Land. It's interesting that while he was talking in Bournemouth a foreign office spokscman in Lon don said an American technical advisory committee was expected mere tnis ween lor discussion of housing, transport, feeding and similar problems which might be involved In any large scale transfer of Jews to Pales tine. Also in explaining his re jection' of Immediate immigra tion of 100,000 he had this to say: ''If we nut inn nnn .Tpub in Palestine tomorrow I would have to put another division of British there. I am not prepared to do it." Equally to the point wan a Tatar rnmarV financial issues 'involved "are tremendous and the British chan cellor of the exchequer cannot carrv it. Wf rannnt talrn nn nrv. other 200,000,000 pounds (S800, 000,000) expenditure on Pales tine and that is really what is involved." And so we arrive at the con clusion, I should suy, that John Bull expects Uncle Sam to step in and shoulder a big load of the military and financial commit ments. In any event, Bevin thinks that "handled with de termination and patience this (the Jewish-Arab problem) can be settled as part of the Middle Eastern problem."
