Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
A PORTLAND AP dispatch on today's front
page quotes war assets administration
official to the effect that the Klamath Falls
Marine Barracks is lor sale,
with no customers as yet. 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.

Chamber Plans
Clean-Up Drive
The chamber of commerce's
newly-organized "clean-up" com
mittee will meet Monday to
make plans for a community
wide cleanup campaign this
summer.
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.

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."
