IN China, It looki very much as
It Chiang Kai-shek has rocked
the boat.
It I hard to draw Intelligent
conclusions from what la hap
pening in China, for the truth
there Is obscured by clouds of
propaganda and hampered by
censorship on all aides. Hut even
Chiang's al.iler-ln-luw, Madame
Sun Yal-sen, who is also a mem
ber of the Kunmlntang (the party
headed by Chlnng) accuses him
of reactionary ambitions and
thirst for power.
His rocking of the boat has
embarrassed us greatly, for It
seems probable that he is using
lend-lease war material with
which WE supplied him to carry
on tho civil war In China. He
seems to figure that because of
Kissession of this material, plus
c troops we helped to train,
NOW Is the time to crush the
Chinese communists and leave
him and his crowd supremo In
China.
JOHN M. HIGHTOWER, a com
petent reporter, says In a dis
patch today thai tho U. S. gov
ernment now laces a foreign
policy decision along these lines:
1. Shall tho U. S. government
continue to give its lull support
to Chiang Kai-shek, U worst
comes to worst, or;
2, Shall wo adopt some other
attitude, possibly Involving
recognition of tho Chinese com
munists as legitimate belliger
ents (which would amount to
standing off to one side and let
ting the two factions fight It out
without cither help or hindrance
Irom us.)
RUSSIA, of course, Is the ex
plosive factor In tho situation.
What will Russia do? Will stie
go In full scale back of the
Chinese communists if they seem
to bo getting tho worst of It?
Could that be tho spark that
would touch off shooting war?
RUSSIA Is difficult to get along
with. NOTHING wc do seems

2 Water Bills
WASHINGTON. July 24 (VP)
President Truman, signing two
big flood control, navigation
and water power bills, said to
day he would withhold any
request for too funns they au
thorize at least until next sum
mer. One measure Is a rivers and
harbor bill, which he said au
thorizes projects which ulti
mately will cost $943,000,000.
Tho other is a flood control
bill, ultimately to cost $952,
000.000. "1 take them to be primorily
authorizations to enable the war
department to plan Its future
program soundly, and I under
stand that there is no expecta
tion of early appropriation," tho
president said in a statement.
"1 do not intend to request
funds for any of these projects
during the current fiscal year.
Financing. whenever made,
must be based on budgetory re
quirements for that period."
Mr. Truman said tho two bills
bring the authorized backing of
river improvement work under
war department jurisdiction to
approximately $3,000,000,000.
"Assuming that this estimate
of $5,000,000,000 is accurate,
and experience would indicate
that it Is probably low," ho con
tinued, "and assuming the new
work can be prosecuted at the
1947 approprlotion rate, it will
take 35 years to bring to com
pletion the river and harbor
protects and 20 years to com
plete the flood control projects
now authorized."

telling ol increasing military
operations by both the commu
nist forces and those of Chiang

sions among some authorities of
what tho United States might
be able to do if unrestrained
civil war should be declared.
At the moment, while United
States policy ' remains unchang
ed, the talk seems to bo along
two major lines:
1. Whether the United States
should continue to give its full
support to Chiang Kai-shek, if
worst comes to worst, or
2. Whether It rhould adopt
some other attitude, possibly In
volving recognition of th com
munists as legitimate bulkier
cnts. Already, tinder the specially
prolonged authority of the oth
erwise expired lend-lease act, as
sistance to Chiang has drapped
off to tiny fraction of what it
onco was. What aid is continu
ing is based mainly on tho
theory that Chiang needs help

'Southern Emigrant Route' Markers
To Spot
Historical markers headed by
the words "Southern Emigrant
Route" will be placed at Klam
ath county highway points
along the emigrant road of 1846
by the state highway commis
sion, it was learned definitely
here today.
- The decision marks a victory
for the Klamath Historical so
ciety, which has insisted that
"southern route" is the historically-accurate
title for the old
emigrant road. - The highway
commission placed the matter
in the hands of the memorials
committee of the Oregon His
torical society, and that commit
tee recommended that the name
"Southern Route" be used.
- The matter came to a public
issue alter the Oregon branch of
the American Pioneer Trails as
sociation proposed that the road
be marked as "Applegate Trail"
on the grounds that it had been
so designated on various maps
and in various writings, and that
it would honor Jesse and Lind
say Applegate, famed Oregon
pioneers.
The expedition of 1846 which
established the route as an emi
grant road proceeded from Rick
rcall, in the Willamette valley,
south through western Oregon,
over the Greensprlngs route,
through the Klamath country
and east to Fort Hall, In Idaho,
where it connected with the
northern route of the Oregon
trail, which passed down the
Columbia river.

Barkley Urges
Speed On OPA
WASHINGTON, July 24 (VP)
Conceding that some "severe
headaches" may be ahead in get
ting UFA back into Dusiness
again, Majority Leader Barkley
(Ky.) today urged the senate to
give speedy approval to the new
compromise legislation for re
viving price controls. '
He told his colleagues that the
measure worked out by the sen
ate-house conferees and approved
by the house yesterday is "with
two or three exceptions, in sub
stance the same bill that congress
passed previously and that the
president vetoed."
But, he asserted that disagree
ments between house and senate
had made it necessary to "make
some concessions if we got any
bill at all."
In reply to a question, Barkley
said that he had received "posi
tive assurance" from the OPA
administrator that some program
would be worked out to alleviate
the situation of elevator owners
and other grain purchasers who
had bought at current, arjove
ceiling orices but who faced the
possibility of a roll-back of prices
on August 20.

Walter Meacham, secretary of
the Pioneer Trails organization
and who has clashed, with the
Klamath group on the proper

cated that in spite of the state
highway commission's decision
on the official state markers, his
group will proceed with "Apple
gate Trail" markers at least in
western Oregon.
At last night's meeting of the
Klamatn County Historical so
ciety, the findings of the state
historical society's committee
were reviewed, and the local
group also had a letter from the
state highway engineer's office
outlining a proposed inscription
on one of the signs.
The state historical society
committee in its report showed
it had studied the works of 12
authors. Eight of them had used
the term "southern route" in re
ferring to the emigrant road,
and four had used both "south
ern route" and "Applegate
trail, route or road." The term
inology was used 30 times in
the, material analyzed. Of these,
24 were southern route or road
and six were Applegate road,
route or trail.

Russ Envoy
Stands Firm
Against U.S:
NEW YORK. July 24 (A
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet rep
resentative to the United Na
tions' atomic energy commission,
today flatly rejected the major
United States proposals for con
trol of atomic energy.
Gromyko. speaking at a ses
sion of committee No. 2, specifi
cally turned down the U. S. pro
posals for setting up an atomic
development authority and for
ruling out the veto on atomic
matters.
In making his statement, the
Soviet representative made it
clear that his government was
rejecting "as a whole or any
part" of the third memorandum
submitted by Bernard M. Baruch,
u. a. delegate. This memoran
dum had summed up all prin
cipal points of the United States
plan.
Announcement of Gromyko'i
stand was made bv the United
Nations press officer in tha
midst of the closed meeting. No
information was available imme
diately on any possible sugges
tions made by the Russian dele
gate. Inetlectlve If Vetoed
The United States memoran
dum sets forth that controls
would be wholly ineffective if
enforcement could be prevented
by vote of a state which haa
signed a proposed control treaty.
Any other conception would
render the whole principle of
the veto ridiculous," the memo
randum added.
The United States memoran
dum also reiterated one of Ba
ruch's statements when he pre- .
sented the United States plan.
He said:
"There must be no veto to pro
tect those who violate their
solemn agreements not to de
velop or use atomic energy for
destructive purposes."

Body Of Lake
Victim Found
. One of the two bodies being .
sought in Upper Klamath lake,
that of John A. (Jack) Henry, 43.
was found late yesterday after
noon by a fisherman and was
brought in to Klamath Falls this
morning. The search for Keith
Gordon, 56, is continuing.
Charlie Moore, who was fish
ing off Coon point, found Henry's
body in about two feet of water,
secured it to the bank with a
line and went to Rocky Point to
call in the news of his discovery
to the sheriff's office. Mark
Howard was with Moore at tha
time of the discovery. - -
Moore did not know either
Gordon or Henry, so that iden
tification of the body was not
made until this morning. Sheriff
Lloyd Low and a party went to
the lake after Moore's call, but
could not reach the body last
night in the dark.
Low and Ray Worden stayed
at Rocky Point last night, and
this morning, with Charlie Zieg
ler, who operates Zieglcr's dock
on the lake, brought the body of
Henry In to Ward's funeral home.
The second kapok life cushion
from Gordon's boat was found
still afloat about 50 yards from
the body.
Gordon and Henry disappeared
Sunday while on a boat trip from
Geary canal to Malone springs
in Gordon's small power boat.
Another development in tha
