It might be the beat solution in

tarts you never can tell who

in the caao of nations.
ON tho home political front,
Senator LnFollctto (Junior)
Is licked In Wisconsin after 21
veara In the U. S. senate. Hla
father served for 11) years before
him making a total of 40 years
for tho LaFolleltc dynasty.
The political experts will be
busy for day figuring out for us
Just what happened and why and
what the effects will be on the
Republican party and Its pro
spects for getting back .Into
power.
They will spin a lot of theories
for us, and it Is possible that they
may clear it all up.
'T'O this writer, who doesn't live
A in Wisconsin and has never
spent much time there, it aecma
barely possible thnt Republican
voters of that politically tur
bulent state may merely have
TIRED of LaKollettes. Forty
years Is a long span.
It Isn't Impossible that they
sized the situation up and de
cided that LnFollctto', opponent
suit them better. Ho Is a 37-year-old
cx-mnrtno with a good
military record. Seven years
ago, at tho ago of 30 (before he
went to war) he was elected a
circuit Judge, Indicating that the
voters who knew him had con
fidence In him then.
A NYWAY, LaFollctto Is OUT,
and what used to be re
ferred to as "LaKollctllsm" has
long since hnd another name,
The one suro thing about politics
Is thnt It never stays put. The
old passe out and the new comes
in.
AS for the Republican, their
success or fnllure in tho Im
mediately upcoming years will
depend CHIEFLY on tho extent
to which they are able to gain
me confidence or tlie general
average run of people In this
country.
That, In Us turn, will depend
upon the SINCERITY with
which they face the problems of
tho present nnd tho future.

No Passengers
Slated For GN
The Great Northern railway
has no present intention of in
augurating passenger service
through Klamath Falls.
That was the gist of a letter
received from the GN head of
fice today by the chamber of
commerce, and read at the cham
ber directors' meeting. Manager
Charles Stark had written the
railroad inquiring about its pro
gram. It was recalled that when the
GN completed its line through
here in 1931, its officials said
they planned to start passenger
service within a short time. The
passenger trains have never run
on the GN here.
Directors of the chamber re
ceived a letter from Governor
Earl Snell saying that Snell had
received an invitation to the Cen
tennial celebration through the
Centennial couriersJoe Black
well, Newt Nelson and Chet Bar
ton. The governor said he hoped
to be present for at least one
performance of the pageant.
Many of the chamber directors
signified their intention of being
present at the kick-off meeting
of the Tulclake chamber of com
merce at Tulclake August 20.
There was a long discussion of
the freight car shortage at the
Wednesday meeting. Manager
Stark has contacted railroads
and other agencies in an effort
to help Klamath shippers.
The manager was authorized
to write the forest service in an
effort to have forest service maps
brought up to date. It was re
ported that maps in current use
are obsolete in many ways.
The Indian affairs committee
was asked to discuss with the
Klamath Agency a suggestion
that picnic grounds be developed
along Wood river.
R. H. Dunbar reported that the
Centennial pageant has been un
derwritten to the extent of
$20,000 instead of the original
$15,000.
Motorist Finds
Gasoline Lights
It's bad enough to run out of
Rnsoline at any time, but Wayne
Emerlch, 234 Hillside, was hav
ing a streak of unusually bad
luck early Wednesday morning
when his motor went dry.
Not only was it midnight, but
as he was carrying a one-gallon
can of gasoline to his car, he
ignited the can with a cigarette.
The' fire department was called
to extinguish the blaze and Em
erlch was taken to the Klamath
Valley hospital for treatment for
burns on his hands and left leg.
He was relensed later tills morn
ing in "fairly good condition,"
according to hospital attendants.
Stores To Close
During Parade
Klamath Merchants associa
tion has voted for store closure
on the morning of August 22 dur
ing the Centennial pnradc.
In general, closure will be
from 10:30 until noon.
The merchants have also put
up $500 as their share of the
cost of decorating downtown
streets, part of South Sixth
street, and the entrance to tho
fairgrounds, for the celebration.
'Clean-Up'
Drive Begun
By Chamber
An intensive city-wide clean
up program was launched today
through a chamoer of commerce
clean-up committee and co
operating organizations.
Nick Long, head of the Mer
chants association and member
of the chamber board, an
nounced the plan at a chamber
directors meeting. He said it
would be pushed on the follow
ing lines:
1. Clean up all alleys and ask
merchants to pick up refuse
when they sweep front walks,
instead of sweeping into the
street.
2. Place 48 disposal cans in
the business district. The 20-30
club has agreed to undertake
this project, which will cost
about $1800.
3. Clean up residential and
outlying districts, with the help
of school children and Boy
Scouts.
4. Beautify Pacific Terrace
strips and other show places in
town.
Open Containers Hit
Long said it had been agreed
to make a determined effort to
get all business houses to dis
pense with open garbage and
rubbish containers in alleys.
Open containers are held largely
responsible for deplorable condi
tions of business district alleys.
"This Is a campaign in which
everybody should participate,"
said Long. It is not confined to
business houses. It needs to be
spread throughout the residen
tia. districts. It will be relative
ly simple to make KUmath
Falls a cleaner city if there will
be general public co-operation."
Co-operating organizations in
clude the 20-30 club, public
health association, Junior cham
ber. Business and Professional
Womens club. Rotary. Kivanis.
Lions, 3oy. Scout and Sorop-
Long will be Interviewed on
KFLW tonight at 7:30, on the
clean-up program.

Lofty Resolutions On V
By The Associated Press
Without formal pause, the
nation joyfully yet prayerfully
observed, the first anniversary
today of victory in World War II.
One year to the day after he
proclaimed Japan's unconditional
surrender. President Truman
asked Americans to dedicate this
first "Victory Day" to prayer
and high resolve that:
"The cause of Justice, freedom,
peace and international goodwill
should be advanced with un
diminished and unremitting
efforts, inspired by the valor of
our heroes of the armed serv
ices." While military men and others
were paying tribute to the men
who fought and died to bring
the war to its conclusion, Mr,
Truman's reconversion director
toted up the balance sheet to see
what a year of peace has meant
to the home front.

Lake Burst
Causes Near
Injury To 2
STOCKHOLM. Aug. 14 (Pi
The newspaper Aftonbladet said
yesterday that a ghost bomb,
bursting over a Swedish lake,
had nearly caused casualtlt-a and
criticized military authorities for
ineir lauure to explain the na
ture of the missiles, which have
been reported almost daily by
observers for the past two
months.
The paper said that two per
sons boating on the lake, located
In central Sweden, were nearly
hit by the bomb, which burst
into many parts.
i ne paper also reported that a
rocket had been observed near
Goetebcrg by a group of Boy
Scouts, who saw the flying mis
sile turn and then return to its
original course.
(From Copenhagen came the
first report of a "ghost rocket"
explosion over Denmark. Briand
Jensen, a night watchman in
Struer, West Jutland, said he
saw a speeding missile approach
ing irom ine nortneasi, explode
with a blinding flash.)
Swedish military authorities
said yesterday that they had re
ceived no tangible proof that the
frequent celestial phenomena
observed over the country re
sulted from foreign experiments
with aerial missiles.
In retort Aftonbladet said "it
ought to be possible to state
whether they are meteors or not
and if they are rockets, one
should be caught."
The paper added that If they
were rockets and of Russian
origin, as has been suggested,
there were two possible ex
planations for their appearance
over Sweden:
(1) "Sweden is systematically
being dotted in on a Russian
artillery map."
(2) "Sweden is being used as
an object of demonstration, di
rected not at us, but to the big
world."
Military authorities said little
attention was paid to a ru
mor that a bomber which
crashed Monday had fceen hit by
a rocket bomb.
Airport Fees
Win Approval
The Oregon state aviation
council, representing airport
men from all over the state, has
passed favorably on the schedule
of rates and charges set up by
the city for the Klamath Falls
airport. Mayor Ed Ostendorf
said today.
The council, meeting in Eu
gene last Friday, was presented
a complete statement of the local
charges and they were agreed
upon as fair by the various city
and airport representatives at the
meeting.
Some individual aircraft oper
ators did not agree with certaki
of the charges, the mayor said,
but it was the concensus of tha
group that the overall list was
fair, and they will be published
in a bulletin for all airports to
be gotten out by the council.
At the meeting, which Mayor
Ostendorf attended in place of
Cliff Dunn of the airport com
mission, it was pointed out that
one of every 78 people in Oregon
is a pilot or student pilot, and
one person of every 1583 in the
