Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
WOOSTER, O. (Travel Correspondence)
After the novelty wears off, we imagine
traveling the famed Pennsylvania turnpike
would be a bit monotonous. But it was an in
teresting experience for us today, and we tra
versed it from end to end
p-"""""! about 160 miles. It took us
V ". I w0 riouri m 48 minutes
d driving lime.
inis ton roaa is as near a
"free way" as seems possible
to achieve. There is no ingress
or egress except at widely
spaced traffic circles. All
cross-traffic is by overpass or
underpass, and there are doz
ens of these, even for minor
country roads.
EPLEY There are service stations
and restaurants about every 20 miles, operating
under special concession. You can enter and
leave a service station area if it's on your side,
by special devices that provide for merging the
traffic without interfering with passing auto
. mobiles. No person nor animal can walk across
the highway, and you can't turn across to a
gas station.
At one large station, a tunnel under- the
turnpike permits pedestrians from the opposite
id of the road to get across to the restaurant.
rr
THERE are half a dozen tunnels, much longer
than the Salt Creek tunnel on the Willam
ette highway. They are specially lighted to give
daylight illumination, and at night there are
lights on the approaches to prevent any sudden
changes that might confuse a driver.
At the end of the tunnel is an attendant,
and wrecker car ready to go in and bring
out anyone who might stall in the passageway.
Apparently, they haven't forgotten anything.
THE road passes through no towns. Occasion
ally you see one nearby, but you do not
go into towns the way you do on ordinary
highways. There are no driveways into the
turnpike from farmhouses. You can get off or
on the road at major points along the route
by use of the "cloverleaf" device.
The travel lanes always at least two cars
wide, but sometimes more are separated by a
strip of grass. Thus, one never encounters on
this highway an oncoming car, a pedestrian, a
-crossing car, a farm animal, a dog, or a '
i chicken.
Cars are not permitted to stop on the travel
ing surface, or to turn around, eliminating an
other possible inconvenience or hazard.
WE entered the turnpike through a gate.
The attendant handed us a ticket, to be
turned in when we left the turnpike along with
the appropriate toll. The toll costs increase as
you pass each turn-off circle. We stayed on to
the end, and paid $1.50. For the shortest trip,
the toll is 10 cents.
Trucks pay from $3.50 to $7.50.
Traffic was only fairly heavy on the turn
pike today. We have seen it much heavier on
other highways in this region and, of course,
it didn't compare with suburban arteries such
as our own South Sixth street. The restaurant
and service station areas along the road were
busy. ..
We have traveled other freeways, such as
the Henry Hudson parkway along the Hudson
In the New York area, but this one differs be
cause of its cross-country character. It connects
the thickly-settled areas of Eastern Pennsyl
vania with the Pittsburg district, but it runs
through generally open farm country.
It's a great road for speed, but we wouldn't
want to travel across the country on a route
like it. It lacks intimacy with the countryside
nd the towns along the way that makes travel
ing Interesting to us. It takes much of the
danger, but also the adventure, out of driving.
AFTER visiting Pennsylvania's great iron
and steel centers yes, Pittsburg was smoky
we came on into Ohio this afternoon. At Can
ton, we stopped for a brief visit with Mr. and
Mrs. E. A. McDonnell (Esther Veatch), old
Klamathites, who live in a beautiful home in
one of those suburban villages near Canton, in
green, rolling country.
Hurrying on, we came down to Wooster to
night, found quarters in a hotel, and will dash
on west and north tomorrow after a few hours'
sleep.
r PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, July 19 The Swedes have
made their krona more costly to us.
It is worth 27 cents plus, now, instead of 2J
cents plus. The Canadians did the same thing.
Their dollar has been marked equal to ours,
instead of SO cents, as formerly. To whatever
extent the rest of the world follows suit, its
money will go up in value and ours will go
down. Theoretically it can buy more goods
here, but only theoretically because actually
our prices have gone up more than the 10 per
cent increased value of the foreign currencies.
An item from South Africa tells the inside
tale. It says American goods were being bought
there in quantities hitherto unknown until
the OPA office ceilings went off, but since then
purchases have been limited. Do we want
them to fill their shops with goods (as they
report) when we are short? Well, we want to
increase our world trade. But can we do this
with shortages? Of such considerations is the
character of our confusion.
Really it is worse. We are today proving
we can have inflation with a balanced market.
Unprecedented Budget
THE main business of this adjourning congress
has been its least widely reported aspect.
It was charged with appropriating money for
Mr. Truman's unprecedented peacetime budget
of nearly $40,000,000,000. The house trimmed
sharply but the senate put most of the money
back in the bills, as is the custom. In the end
Mr. Truman will get expenditures for this
peacetime year (beginning July 1) which are
roughly four times and more, greater than
what Mr. Roosevelt ever spent. The highest
Roosevelt expenditures in pre-war was $9,665,
000,000 in 1940, when he took in nearly $6
billions. In his whole administration he roughly
took in half of what he spent, which was
thought to be inflationary, although it never
got prices up. The spending is largely for
army and navy, along with increases in peace
time activities of the government, but this is
still spending nearly five times more than
Roosevelt
However, Mr. Truman is approaching a bal
anced budget at this spending level. Wartime
taxes have not been reduced materially, for
fear of the big debt, so he will take in this
year around or upwards of $35 billions. (Retir
ing Budget Director Smith calculated the figure
at $39.5 billions which is $8 billions more than
the January budget estimated.) Agitation has
thus begun here for a real tax reduction, but
some authorities want to retire the debt instead.
In the war we roughly took in half what was
spent, or about $46.4 billions in 1945, while
spending $100.4 billions.
In the face of this promised stability for the
first time in 16 years, we have inflation. It is
a real inflation, due to a shortage of goods in
the presence of widespread buying power. The
administration has figured it would stop the in
flation as soon as it obtained production, but
we are not getting production, and business
estimates it will be 3 to 5 years before it can
take care of accumulated demand, not cal
culating the increase in consumer demand
which has developed from the presence of
widespread buying power. To add to the deter
rents of strikes, slowdowns, government mis
management, famine relief, the absence of a
foreign trade policy, cheapening money, sen
sationally high prices and no- real peace, along
with pitifully insufficient production the OPA
was sharply modified ahead of time.
Shrewd, Management' Needed
CAN we get out of It? Yes. but only by
shrewd management. By this I mean con
structive management of overall policy, as well
as detailed affairs.
Obviously we are entering a period in which
there will be no "normal." It is a previously
uncharged period. We are in inflation. Instead
of "fearing inflation," as officialdom verbally
does (and then shoots wages up, then prices,
and next wages again), it must recognize we are
in it. If we get production, and prices start to
decline, we will recognize that the era in which
we now are, was . a period of unprecedented
inflation. In a word, the government has
started the toboggan. The question now is: can
it be stopped? Can it be stabilized? It has
reached a new level. Can this be kept?
Certainly no satisfactory foreign trade ar
rangement can be made loosely on such de
velopment as congressional approval of the $4
billion British loan (which really cancels nearly
$25 billions of lend lease although this figure
was never mentioned in connection with that
action). To make a foreign trade policy, you
would have to create full management for it,
management over goods and prices, as well as
currencies.
So also with domestic affairs. A dying OPA
makes the government's problem solely one of
getting production. That becomes the answer
to prices then. To get production will require '
management in a million different details as j
well as a sincere overall policy.

they find out where the hunt is

Modesty is the keynote in at
least a few of the newer wom

of which, for lack of clothes,
has turned its back to the cur

STATIC
.Br BILL JENKINS-
A reminder that we aren't out
of the woods yet comes from the
Junior chamber of commerce
with its announcement of a
paper drive on July 28. Paper,
as we newspaper guys know all
too well, is one of the war-scarce
items that is getting shorter if
anything. Scrap paper old
newspapers, magazines, wrap
ping paper, anything except
cardboard boxes in iact can be
processed and made into new
paper again. The JC's ask that
people gather up the paper, bun
dle it up together and tie it and
then leave it on the nearest
street corner Sunday morning,
July 28, for collection.
Looks like Klamath Falls will
have a big air day before they
get through. What with officials
buzzing and committees by the
dozen roaring around the cham
ber of commerce the show
should go over with a bang.
There will at least be local
ships, plus two United mainlin
ers, and maybe some army stuff.
Sunday will see another full
hour mystery presented on U.
S. Steel's program. This time
it'll be Van Wyck Mason's fast
moving "Singapore Exile Mur
ders" starring Roger Pryor. It's
another of those deals where
Major Hugh North, suave G-2
agent, gets in amongst the slant
eyed spies of Japan in the fur
ious bidding for a new and pow
erful explosive. Germany also
enters into it, along with plenty
of gun fire, racing around back
streets and deep intrigue in the
chambers of various palaces.
