! Br MALCOLM EPLEY
WHEN they were in Vienna In 1935, Dr.
and Mri. Paul Sharp of Klamath Falli
Viade the acauaintance of a man Jn Hie Hun
garian aipiomauc itrvin. n
was a lasting friendship that
developed on that occasion,
Ind the Klamath people have
iept in touch with this man.
Early thit year, tha Sharps
Jtiade up several parcels of
stood, and mailed them to
"Frank," who is living in
Budapest with a wife and two
Children acquired since the
Vienna days.
A few days ago, a letter of
ppreciation came from Frank. EPLEY
The letter revealed so much about food, wage
Jand other living conditions in Budapest that
iwe have borrowed it for use here today. Frank
Woes not speak English, and evidently dictated
line letter to some one who sent the following
literal translation to the Sharps:
I Budapest, May 14lh, 1946.
Dear Mr. Sharp,
J You have made a great pleasure to us by
ending the parcels and letters on January
30th and February 6th which we received on
JVlarch 27th and April 15th. We received the
'parcels sent us under the name of Mr. Mullcr
!on March 30th and April 14th.
Everything we found in the boxes was very
juseful, and, though necessary to our children,
they are unattainable nowadays in our country.
J You helped us strongly by your kind gifts
to get out from a great deal of troubles.
' One year ia over since the etjd of hostilities,
!but difficulties are in many view-points mora
'serious now than they were in war time. Our
.'unhappy nation has got into this terrible war
perhaps against his own will, but, I am afraid,
;by his own sins against God.
Our punishment is not an easy one: our
'city and many other cities of Hungary are
.ruined, the whole country under Russian oc
cupation, no food, no clothes, no linen, no
'shoes, no fuel, no window-glasses: these last
ones are partly substituted by sheets of paper.
J Work, production of goods are prevented by
the need of the same materials to whose pro
duction they would be necessary; that is to say
that we have no bread because our farmers are
; hungry and they cannot work for us, having
lost nearly all their supply of food, domestic
animals, tools, etc., and industrial labourers
.being in need of food cannot work for farmers
'and others.
! My monthly Income amounts now to the sum
'of about four dollars. There is no mistake,
!l really mean four dollars one month's wage
'for myself. My wife earns almost the same
I sum and her father, with whom we live to
gether, has as much too, so that we have a
;monthly income of twelve dollars for 4 adults
and 2 children. It is true that one month's
house-rent for our flat is less than one dollar
tand we have to pay for gas and electricity
'also such ridiculous sums, but having settled
these bills the money left over is scarce enough
'to buy every day one pound of bread or some
! flour and potatoes with for 6 persons. We
'help ourselves by selling, as far as we can do
without them, cloths and things of our house
hold. The price of lard and bacon is 50-60 cents
per. pound, butter about the same price, but
(these articles are seldom sold and bought
owing to the scarcity of supplies and poverty
of the purchasers. Sugar is rarely available
and costs about one dollar per pound. Shoes
(are sold for children of 6-7 years at the price
i of 8-10 dollars, for adults nearly the double
'price. A suit of good quality is made for 200
dollars and shirts for 6-68 dollars.
i All that is not very expensive, when com
J pared with American circumstances, but in
respect of our ridiculous wages our prices
must be qualified as cruel.
i Meat can't be found in our poor markets
and shops and during the last twelve months
'we had meat only once or twice every month
so that a meal with meat is for us nowadays
1 but a dream.
In such troubles help from a friend's hand,
' and even words of friendship, as you made
me the honour of addressing them, have such
J a value as you can hardly imagine.
We thank you with all our heart for your
2 kindness and we remain always
i . Yours very truly,
, FRANK.
' The above bit of personal correspondence is
strong testimony as to the conditions which
Americans are asked to help alleviate.
A ASHINGTON, June 17 Important thing
YV about the Case bill and unions legislation
now that there isn't to be any of Importance
Is the politics behind the void.
The president's followers had long expected
this outcome and looked upon its political
ramifications in this way: by daring to ask
congress for union drafting powers, Mr. Truman
caused the union political action committees to
produce picket placards denouncing him bitter
ly, but by vetoing the Case bill, he caused
the unions to turn their placards around and
proclaim him hero. He could not lose political
ly. If congress gave him the drafting power
he would bring the unions into line under his
political domination, and he could take the
sting out with the Case bill veto; or if defeated
in congress on the draft (as he was) the same
political result could be accomplished. That is
the way they figured.
Congress First Problem
BUT Mr. Truman is not required to fact the
electorate until two years from now. His
pressing political problem is to re-elect a demo
cratic congress a little over four months hence.
By his action he has pushed his congress back
into a complete nullity on the most discussed
political issue of the day. Nearly 100 demo
cratic house members cannot run on any plat
form except opposition to him but worse, a
futile opposition. And 118 have no record of
party action (the other being absent on the veto
vote.) Now some may surmise this is not bad,
because it roughly permits southern democrats
to run on one platform and northern democrats
on the opposite platform. This worked in
Roosevelt's time. But it has been done so
often, has always ended in a vacuum and did
not seem popular in tha later Roosevelt elec
tions. It is really no platform at all.
You can see how it would have worked out
much better for all democrats politically, if
the congress had been permitted to pass its
bill over the veto with the slightly more than
two-thirds majority registered originally for it.
Then the democratic congress would have
had something to run on, a platform of having
done something in answer to what it deemed
a popular appeal when it passed the bill.
Indeed, this would have been the normal
course if he or his leaders had let the house
alone. This skillful work in rounding up
absentees from the former roll call turned the
tide. Thus the leaders were not required to
change many votes. Of course a president could
change six votes in the house anytime he
wishes. The offer of a couple of district at
torneyships would do it. But he definitely
wanted the bill killed and so it was.
Mr. Truman tried to suggest an escape for
his congress from the dilemma by calling for
an investigation which would last until after
election. This may be done and it will permit
the candidates to say they at least did some
thing, if only investigate a subject so widely
analyzed and discussed even by congressional
committees for about 10 years.
Case Bill Analysis
PERSONALLY, I do not believe the Case
bill would have hurt the unions much. They
could have carried on as always, being only a
little more careful. But the union leaders
have a peculiar philosophy, which holds that
any restriction placed upon them is an Inter
ference with their rights. They have come to
believe this to such an extreme extent that
even the mildest restraint, proposed sincerely
in the public interest, becomes a plot to destroy
them and anyone who suggests anything be
comes a bitter enemy. Whether they actually
believe it or not, they also claim it is fascistic
to make them amenable to laws which apply
to all other people.
As long as they have that peculiar notion
and are able to impose upon the White House
or more than a third of congress, there will be
no unions legislation.
So unless- the public, from which pressure
was recently so strong as to cause Mr. Truman
to seek a draft of strikers, forgets its own
feelings in four and a half months, or comes to
another opinion about the matter, I would say
Mr. Truman's political arrangement on the
Gase bill was the worst politics I have seen
from the White House in 14 years.
If the people forget, Mr. Truman will not be
permitted to. The contracts he has effected
with the big unions, sometimes bitterly, run for
only one year. As soon as election is over in
November, he can start going through his
union troubles all over again without any
authority. Demands for further wage increases
to offset his price increases are already being
prepared by the unions.
Mayor Will Go
To Conference
Mayor Ed Ostendorf will
leave Thursday to attend the
western conference of the Amer-
lean Municipal association at
, Timberline lodge at Mt. Hood.
City officials from all major

The last wish of Governor
Hogg, of Texas, was that his
grave be marked by a pecan
tree and an old-fashioned wal
nut, and that nuts from the trees
be distributed and -planted
throughout the state, and his
wish is being carried out.
The Romans considered salt a
sacred article of food, and never
placed any other dish on the
table before it.

Don Dunphy will fill the
spotlight section Wednesday
night whn the long-awaited
Louis-Conn fight will be sent to
ABC listeners over the country.
Don is the lad who gives you
the blow by blow descriptions
of the fights for Gillette, and
they say he's in fine fettle for
this ' scrap. . Louis and Conn
meet for the first time In five
years, their last scrap being in
1941. Louis, who has been in
training at Pompton Lakes, N.
J., is reported as slow but in
good shape, and even if he is a
little slow he's still got a man
killing punch to fall back on.
Conn has been going through
his paces at Greenwood Lake,
N. J., and the 188 pounder is
reported to be sharp as a tack.
Wednesday night will tell the
tale. KFLW listeners will hear
the fight at 6 o'clock.
Another weekend past, and
another of those disappointing
June Sundays. The wind seems
to have it in for the Klamath
basin lately, and after a nice
spell of weather in May per
haps we're all spoiled. If the
wind would ever die down a
little maybe it'd stop blowing
clouds over and then it could
warm up a little.
The war's over for sure, and
Saturday night pointed it out
very well. The country club
sport dance was held and not a
uniform there. Made the place
seem almost strange.
The post war age has done
something to the sporting man,
or it will soon at least. The
day is coming when you'll have
to make up your mind just , what
kind of a boat you want. Walk
ing down Main street now
you'll find metal boats, welded
boats, riveted boats, plastic
boats, moulded boats, pressed
plywood boats, canvas boats,
plain old clinker built boats
and rubber boats. Makes it dif-
Klamath seems to be in the
mood for tense moments this
year. First it was the parking
meter question (of which there
hasn't been a whisper lately)
then the election, and now
everyone is sitting wondering
i( we is or u we am t gonna
have an airport and maiulinvr
service. Never a dull moment.
The boys out at the old hangar
have their little problem, too.
They plan to move over to the
big hanger soon, oui aon i Know
when. The end result is that
they can't do any painting, re
pairing or anything else for fear
they'll be moved just as they
finish.
Four-Year-Old Dies
In Refrigerator
ROCHESTER, Pa., June 17
(IFh-Four-year-old James Sut
ton of Rochester township
climbed into an unused refrig
erator on the back porch of his
nome yesterday.
Somehow the door closed be
hind him. His parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Sutton, said a play
mate or a dog might have done
it.
At supper time, four hours
later, the door was opened. The
boy was found dead, a victim of
suffocation.
Mrs. Sutton said she had been
offered $5 for the broken refrig
erator but refused it in the hope
for a better price.
"Why didn't we 'ell it?" said
the heartbroken father.
BOYLE'S
NOTEBOOK
ZURICH, SwIUerlaml, June
17 ('V) American soldiers,
whoso frpp and easy ways have
brought them strong crlticlKm
in some European countries
have really runted their "good
conduct'' ribbuiis In Switzer
land. Here touring Gl's are genu
inely serving ns good will am
bassadors for the United States.
In the past 11 months al
most 250,000 American troops
have tuken eight-day tours of
scenic Switzerland lit a special
$35 rate which cover fuod, ho
tel rooms and travel expenses.
Each soldier is also allowed to
bring along S330 spending
money.
When the project first was
broached nuiny Swiss were al
armed at the prospects of hun
dreds of thousands of foreign
soldiers flooding their small
country. They hud a traditional
liking for Americans, but they
had heard disturbing reports of
Yankee misbehavior with frail
leins In Germany and made
moiselles In France.
Well B.hav.d Tourists
Now after nearly a year of
association with these tourists
in uniform the Swiss people
have voted them to be more
gentlemanly than their run-of-the
mill peace time visitors.
They have caused little prop
erty damage and their "wolf
ing" has been on a higher plune
than during the war years.
"Out of one quarter of a mil
lion soldiers we have had only
one half doicn cases of misbe
havior," said Florian -Noldrrer,
Swiss monuger of troop tours.
"These were mostly vvntch and
camera thefts. We have had no
cases of crime against women.
We feel this Is an exceptional
conduct record."
One hotel manager who had
accepted his first soldier guest
with some reluctance told Net
derer later. "I wish our private
clientele behaved as well as
those American boys do."
Mutual Understanding
Neidcrer said the tours have
done morn "(or mutual under
standing between our country
than anything else possibly
could.
"Your boys have learned that
we Swiss ore more thun a na
tion of yodclers and checsemak
crs." Jimmy Brugger, veteran
guido, who has also escorted al
most 8000 soldiers through
Switzerland says the first thing
troops ask la "where are the
