EW YORK, N. Y. (Special) We're here,
firn inH without so much as a fender dent '
md H i a good time for a few cross-country
siaeugms:
In Oakland, la., our hotel
man said he was a relative of
Albert Barrett, Klamath Falls,
farmer and one-time Moors
Dark caretaker ... A service
I r"-.. I
W''$, s' m-A station attendant at Salt Lake
TfC ;tvf City told us he was in the
rvV " J merchant marine with a young

, iiriiuw mviii
I v ' Givens, and asked us to pass
p V.. 1 along a greeting.
..ttAl I We had one Tat tire at
"" Lakeview, Ore., an incident
EPLEY previously reported . . . We
ran out of gas near Overton, Nebr., and made
a buy from a farmers wife, who pumped it
cheerfully from the farm tractor supply even
though we startled her within an inch of her
life when we came up behind her in the garden.
New cars thousands of them passed us on
the roads in Michigan, Illinois and Iowa . . .
They were riding piggy-back on those special
trucks, bound, wc suppose, for dealers in the
states near the auto manufacturing centers . . .
The flow was almost constant near Detroit,
Pontiac, Flint, etc. . . . Since then, we've been
encountering empty trucks returning for a new
'""it's true that if you want to be absolutely
safe about sleeping quarters, you had better
stop early . . . Most travelers give up about
5 o'clock and nab the first vacancy they see
... We took a chance on later driving, how
ever, and had fair luck both with hotel rooms
and tourist cottages . . . The supply of tourist
cottages appears to be better in the east than
the midwest . . . There aren't so many of them,
but those that there are do not seem so much
In demand ; . . Tourist cabins were at a prem
ium along the Lincoln highway in Nebraska
and Wyoming . . . But in the east, there are
large numbers of tourist homes private homes
which will accept paying guests . . . Some of
them look pretty good, too, but we haven't
tried that idea yet . . . We may do it before
we finish this rather lengthy jaunt
. Long drives can get a bit boresome, and we
tried the conventional schemes of relieving
tedium . . . License plate poker, for instance,
is a lot of fun . . . You take the first car,
and get the best poker hand you can make
from his license numbers . . . Your companion
takes the next car license . . .-With licenses
on the rear, you have to speed up and pass the
car ahead, or let some one pass you, in order
to get a new hand.
That old game of beaver is all right, too . . .
Ten points for a white horse,, five for a dog,
five for a man with a red beard, etc., the
points going to the player who first spies them
and shouts "beaver"; my young son and I
made it five points for a girl in shorts, too . . .
He won the game, by counting an assortment
of little gals from ' 2 to 5 in sunsuits and
shorties, which wasn't what either he or I
had in mind when we made up the roles.
Well, that's that for the trip . . . More about
New York in the next installment.
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, July 10 Russia has mod
erated her obstructionist tactics against
cooperative peace. More suddenly than she
started them, she started to withdraw them.
Her new ambassador submitted to a somewhat
democratic form of newspaper interview, saying
truthfully enough that neither of our peoples
want war. Her Gromyko objected and vacated
his seat in UNO and its atomic bomb meeting,
although Pravda unjustly charged us with
warlike intentions for holding an atom bomb
lest. Similarly her Molotov agreed in Pans to
internationalization of Trieste and otherwise
softened his sabotage of cooperative peace
treaties.
Why? These men were operating on strings
from Moscow, no doubt the game strings. Their
belated approach to truth was swift, so swift
that Washington has been unexpectedly con
founded in furnishing the inspiration and back
ground reasons.
Foothold Gained
THE suspicion most widely held in official
government is Russia has now gained firm
foothold for herself in nations she has con
quered, and is about ready to withdraw her
troops therefrom. Her stalling on the peace
had roots in the same ground. The war has
been over more than a year in Europe now,
and she could not further delay a peace with
out giving her stalling tactics some degree of
permanency. She has seized factories and or
ganized politically, generally getting the inter
ior secretary in charge of police and elections
if not the entire cabinet. If she cannot now
hold those nations firmly enough to permit
withdrawal of her troops, she would have to
assume world responsibility for blocking the
peace. Between those alternatives, her inner
choice walked but NOT ran to peace.
A war scare was evident inside this govern
ment just before Molotov accepted the Bidault
break at Paris. This government dispatched
ships to Trieste in anticipation of what occured
a few days later, namely a clash of communist
and Italian forces. The truth, however, runs
deeper. Our government really expected a
revolt, if not civil warfare in Yugoslavia from
an adverse decision of the council of ministers.
.Together with the British we had about 10
ships nearby and sufficient soldiers to handle
the affray (we thought). Their presence mean
while worked effectively on the Russians in a
language which they best understood.
On top of this, she was given a conciliatory
bargain. An ethnic line and internationaliza
tion of Trieste, are not a new formula for
elimination of that stumbling block, especially
when accompanied by a generous $100,000,000
of reparations from Italy (we did not seek or
get anything from nations conquered by Rus
sians). When this bargain was offered by
Bidault, the French Catholic middle-grounder
who has a reputation of truthworthiness among
communists as well as others, Molotov nearly
snapped it up.
Difficult To Assess
NOW does all , this mean peace? I wish I
could report thai someone of worthwhile
authority here thinks so, yet it is difficult to
find sound or genuine basis for such a fond
and hopeful deduction. Russia is like a Roose
velt politician of whom it was once said: "It
makes no difference whether you have him
for a friend or enemy, as you come out about
the same; and perhaps it might be better, to
have him an enemy because then at least you
can be sure of what he is doing."
Peace can be authoritative only when it is
genuine. We are not here dealing with genuine
opposition, or even a genuine resistance to co
operative peace. Russia turned about without
announcement to do these things. She can turn
the opposite way tomorrow or even before this
gets into print. A nation unfettered by prin
ciples, but interested only in tactics, is peace
ful only as long as she is peaceful and only
to the extent that she is actually peaceful.
Treaties and signatures of such forces arc
secondary considerations. Indeed a treaty made
on such a basis may be more dangerous than
obstruction. At least you may never count on
the future in these circumstances because it
may not be even what has been officially
prescribed.
Thus, on the inside here,' there is noticeable
considerably less glee, than may have been
advertised.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
The Editor) I would appre
ciate it if you could publish the
following bit of verse written
by John L. Hale, a neighbor of
mine who is 85 years old. It is
a dedication to future genera
tions felt by a sincere old gen
tleman. It was written with
the help of his wife, two months
and seven days before she died
and was to be read at her fu
neral; however it was misplaced
and not found until recently.
Mr. Hale desires that it shall be
read at his services when he
passes on and that it will be in
scribed on his tombstone:
"If cares have come and past
away.
Time has changed to silvery
gray;
Golden locks, once so fair
Time has changed to silver
hair.
Now we're on the little stream,
We can see the waters gleam.
Soon our earthly cares will be
ended
And we'll pass from this
troubled earth to the
beyond,
When that time comes we care
not for earthly honors
But we do want true and hon
est Americans to point
to our grave
And say There rest the re
mains of two true and
honest Americans."
This we would rather have
than all the honors that could
be conferred on us by a high
prince, king, or any other per
son except it be the true and
honest American. Mav God
bless and save us all. And, oh
God, save America and the con
stitution for future generations
to come.
John L. and Elizabeth Hale.
I am sure this will prove of
interest to many people besides
John and Elizabeth Hale's
friends.
Around Oregon
By The Associated Prati
The Pacific University Sum
mer Theatre group will open the
season at Seaside July 16 for a
five-week run. . . . Summer har
vest is fully under way through
out eastern Oregon counties, but
shortages of help are curtailing
progress. . . . Picking of Bartlett
pears in the Rogue district will
begin August 8 and packing
plants begin operating August
12. . . . Jobs in sawmills, logging
operations and building trades
exceed available skilled workers
in the Corvallis area where the
U. S. employment service reports
lack of housing has prevented
workers taking jobs. j
On LtiTt Robert Selby, son
J of Mr. and Mrs. John Selby of
j 1946 Manzanita, is home on a
i 12-day furlough after complet
ing boot training. Selby, who
passed the submarine service
examination, will go to New
London, Conn., for submarine
training.
. The fellow at the top of this
column is named Alfred Drake,
and he's the singing star of
"Festival of Music" heard oer
KFLW on Sundays. Drake, a
baritone, made his name sing
ing with "Oklahoma" and "Sing
Out Sweet Land" prior to com
ing to the ABC show.'
Friday night the sports fans
will listen to the long looked
for scrap between Ray Robin
son and Joe Curcio, coming
from Madison Square Garden.
Odds at present seem to run
pretty much for Curcio. but it'll
be a hot fight and one well
worth the listening. :
Vacation weather is here, and
lots of people are taking ad
vantage of it. With the first
real chance since 1941 to go
out and do things, the national
parks, monuments and play
grounds are looking for a record-breaking
year. Crater lake
has already had its share, and a
lot of out-of-state licenses arc
to be seen going through town.
Forestry Man Slated

Oregon Green committee of
Klamath county, Francis E. Wil
liams, of the U. S. forestry de

The five per cent tax on gross
Income, most holly contested
point of the m'oposed plan, was
lowered by the commission to
three per cent, which most oper
ators agreed was fulr. The sec
ond contested point in the Issue
was the iiucMitin of hiingnr rent-1

wus agreed that each school
could rent one quarter uf the

entire half, which operators con
tended was more space than they !
needed at present.
Resumption of commercial

on whether the operator! accept
the lowered terms offered by
the airport commission, but it
appearetl likely today that the
terms will be met and flying
resumed not later limn the first i
of the week.
