be three of us, for here we picked up the

)day's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
PORT HURON, Mich. (Travel Correspond
ence) They call this the "land of the
blue water" and that name, plus a lot of clear,
blue water, attracts thousands
of vacationers at this season
of the year. They are swarm
ing over the parks, beaches,
and resorts here on this hot
day.
Port Huron is on the south
tip of Lake Huron, and on the
St. Claire river which links
Lakes Huron and Erie. It's
about 60 miles north of De
troit, and at the edge of east
Michigan's great manufactur
ed area, from whence, no
EPLEY doubt, come many of the peo
ple who are running around here today in
bathing suits, shorts and slacks.
Big lake freighters ply steadily in both di
rections through the channel. Three or four
are always in sight. There have been as many
as 21,000 passages through the channel in a
single season, and 18,000 is the modern-time
minimum. A local informant tells us that most
of the big boats we can see out there are carry
ing coal, if northbound, and iron ore, if south
bound. The shore line is dotted with attractive estates
and resorts, lapped by that inviting blue water
that means so much to the Port Huron chamber
of commerce. To blast open the holiday season,
the Port Huron Times-Herald has Just gotten
out a huge special edition (where in heck do
they get that newsprint?) which assures the
world that it deserves a good first postwar vaca
tion and Port Huron is the place to get it.
' The town's streets are equipped with parking
meters. Its administration is evidently equip
ped with an efficient police department, for we
got a ticket for a five-minute infringement,

Swing Time Bootblack
PORT HURON has a negro bootblack who
gives you many times your 15-cents' worth
In good entertainment As we climbed into the
chair, he opened: -
"Gentleman of all gentlemans, how are you
cm this damned hot day?"
He seized a brush and a cloth, slapped our
Shoes, and swung into a rhythm of boot-polishing
and vocal chatter that held us spellbound,
fepce he paused to ask us where we came from.
"Klamath Falls, Ore.," we replied.
' J "Yen, L been to Niagara Falls," he said, and
vas off again with a dissertation about Niagara
falls, polishing and talking in swing time. We
tried to explain it was Klamath Fails, but it
flid no good it merely inspired more synco
pated talk about Niagara Falls,
i The vocal stream finally turned to South
Carolina, evidently his old home.
"This ain't hot. South Carolina is hot. Down
there there ain't no building, there ain't no
fchade, there ain't no trees, there ain't no
fshade there's nothin' in the whole world but
the sun, the cotton and youf"

WE drove here today from Elkhart, Ind., on

News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
SOUTH BEND, lnd., July 5 Question In the
minds of people out here in the great
growing area of the nation, was whether Mr.
Truman helped himself by vetoing OPA. The
conflict of opinion was as confusing as that
which is considered normal for Washington. The
future was unpredictable, particularly as to
short foods such as meat, butter and bread.
It was plain only that Mr. Truman had be
come involved In a struggle with Senator Taft.
The White House had decided to enter a new
fray with the demo-republican majority coali
tion. And in that struggle OPA flew out of
the window.
But the matter was not quite as simple as
that. Actually Mr. Truman had delivered OPA
to its adversaries. The net result was what
they wanted, not what he wished.
AH through his speech ran the theory that
the Taft amendment would have permitted pro
ducers to raise prices inordinately. The cost
plus system does allow over-estimalion of costs,
as witnesses to the experience of war contracts
will testify. Mr. Truman cited figures to prove
his point.
Action Inconsistent
BUT then he vetoed the whole bill, and left
no controls whatever. His action thus ran
backwards from his words. If you accepted
his argument that the Taft amendment was bad,
it must follow that what he did was twice as
bad. If Taft had opened a sieve through OPA.
Mr. Truman had removed the sieve and let
the whole thing go down the drain.
To meet this glaring deficiency in his argu
ment. Mr. Truman said he hoped congress would
act immediately. He had no reason for such
hope. A solid "thwacking majority of congress
had already acted in the opposite way. They
then quit for the weekend in the face of his
request, as any congressman well knew in ad
vance that they would. He asked them for
a simple renewal of OPA (which is what they
had refused him all along). If he was actually
playing for this, he had no right to expect it
and was admittedly selecting a losing game
for himself by delivering the issue into their
hands.
After that, the speech got worse. He then
appealed to the public to abide by a non-existent
law which could not, or was not being enforced
when it was a law. I cannot recollect a presi
dent before, asking public adherence in peace
time to a law which did not exist, certainly
not to a law which a large number of the peo
ple and a majority of congress obviously have
not liked.
Thus Mr. Truman got rid of all OPA.
Test For Capitalism
AS to the other side of it (what might be
very loosely termed as the demo-republican
side), the president's action certainly re
quired opponents of OPA to prove their theory.
A great many people have believed that if the
whole setup of government restrictions was
abolished, and we returned to peacetime
methods, a spotty price situation might prevail
for a few weeks, but production .would be en
couraged and as soon as we get production,
prices will come down. As goods become
plentiful and competition is restored, the natural
brakes of the capitalistic system would apply.
It was up to business to make this prove to be
true.
To present my point clearly to your minds,
let me say this: had I been in Mr. Truman's
shoes, I would have signed the bill and issued
my protest simultaneously. This is what his
congressional leaders advised him to do. Inci
dentally, this would have been also the best
politics. Mr. Truman is not running for elec
tion this year, but his democratic majority is
facing the electorate. Even if he wins his legis
lation, Mr. Truman has embarrassed that ma
jority. Good politics called for him to save
what he could of OPA not necessarily what
he would like to have and help his congress,
for he has majorities in both houses.
The only immediate cheer I heard came
from CIO President Phillip Murray who called
Mr. Truman's step "a stabilizing influence." It
was 100 percent the opposite out here.

The World
Today
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
J When the representatives of
the United States and Britain
ent to Paris June 15 for what
foreign Minister Bevin describ
ed as "one last effort" to reach
tome sort of accord with Russia
bn European peace, they were
ot hopeful.
A similar meeting a few weeks
fcefore, like the one in London
phich preceded it, had broken
apart on the rocks of Russian in
transigence. J Then, one by one. things be
gan to happen. Although the
problems of Germany underlay
Everything, a peace treaty for
Italy involving disposition of
her colonies, Kussian demands
for handholds' in the Mediter
ranean, and Trieste was the
most immediate problem.
Sudden About-Face
Suddenly Russia agreed that
the Dodecanese islands should be
reiurnea to lireece, that the Brit
ish should take the colonies un
der a kind of mandate pending
final settlement, that Trieste
should remain under the United
Nations for a time. An agree
ment on control of the Danube
seems to be approaching.
In return, Russia got the repa
rations she had been demanding
from Italy, but conceded that
payment should not start for two
years.
That it is the result of a Jerry
built house none can deny. The
21 nations which will meet July
29 to ratify the various treaties
which the foreign ministers have
negotiated will find themselves
working on "stopgap legisla
tion." But the mere fact that the
ministers have agreed on any
thing at all marks a tremendous
stride. Three weeks ago it looked
very much like they would split
up, throwing the whole problem
into the lap of the United Na
tions. Byrnes threatened to do
so if agreement was not reached,
and Bevin concurred.
Moscow Wanti Accord
But more important than the
results are the indications that
western threats were not pri
marily responsible. There is evi
dence, cited in this column pre
viously, that Moscow decided be
fore June 15 that an accord with
the United States was more im
portant than any or all of the
gains for which she had been
holding out.
It is too early to say that ev
erything will run smoothly from
now on. There is fundamental
cleavage between the Soviet
and the British empire which is
still scheduled to produce many
a neaaacne. unless the Soviets
give up the idea that western
ways are a threat to their exis
tence which must be eliminated,
the life of any accord must be
comparatively short. The new at-

Klamath's rodeo went off
with a bang yesterday, and the
community certainly owes a
vote of thanks to the committee
and their helpers who put on
the show. A capacity crowd
turned out. and the boys on the
rodeo circuit put on a show
that hasn't been beaten from a
spectator standpoint of view in
many a long year. Tough luck
dogged the RAA boys, what
with rough calves, fast bulldog
ging stock and broken ropes,
but they all stayed in there and
fought back. Biggest hand of
the day went to the lad in the
steer team roping event who
was spilled when his horse was
jerked down. He rolled off,
scrambled to his feet and start
ed to run out of the way when
he saw his chance to jump back
on his horse, took it, hit the
saddle, took up the slack in his
rope and held his steer.
a a
Lynn Roycroft did his usual
splendid job of broadcasting the
show over the PA system there,
and both KFLW and KFJI were
one hand to send the show over
the air to those unable to at
tend. a a
Mrs. Emmet Kendrick added
a new one' to the show when
she hazed for her husband in
the dogging event. As far as is
known she is the only woman
hazer in the business today.

The parade yesterday morn
ing was probably the biggest
and best that Klamath Falls has
ever seen. Over a mile and a
half long, there was plenty of
color and action. Mounted
groups from Lakeviow and
Chlco helped out the ranks of
mounted riders and the con
testants riding made a colorful
show.

Mountain roads got a good

and the heaviest truvel since

New Sugar Beet Crop
To Be Tried In State
REDMOND, July 5 lJI An
experiment to test a possible
new cash crop in central Ore
gon will start in Deschutes coun
ty next month, with plunlmg of
sugar beets for seed on three
farms.
Gene Lear, county agent, said
such a crop would fit well into
the county's rotation program.
Yields in other areas have
ranged from 1200 to 3000 pounds
per acre.

SOVIET ADAMANT
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
tile Editor) The Soviets are not
going to give in to the other big
powers what Britain, and the
U. S. want. F.D.It. made too
many promises to Stalin at Ynl
ta and Teheran. I quote from
UeMarce Hi'ns in the Saturday
tveiung Post, June 21), "In his
eftorU to win the coufidcncii of
the Kuwiau rulurs, our lulu
president departed from the
principals of the Atlantic Char
ier mid he took the step, unpre
cedented fur an American presi
dent, of entering into secret
vgreenu-nts. which hundt'd over
to the Russians, rich territories
both in Europe and Asia."
1 quote further: "In so doing
he (Roosevelt) over rode the up.
position of British leaders who
did not share his confidence In
this 'great design.' "
Marry Truman thought he
should carry out F.D.It. plans
and was at a loss what to do. I
don't think Truman was In ac
cord with KooseVelt's Ideas; but
what could he do? He was wise,
he put tho lob onto a smart dip

and watched the buttle.
Well, whut Is going to be the
result?
According to Lenin's and Sta

there is no compromise with iinv
capitalist nation. As Lenin said,
compromise temporarily, but be
ready sooner or later to curry

Lenin said war if necessary if
