Says the Teamster: "Some union leaders, drunk with power and mad for pub licity, are advocating general strikes to stop the rising cost of living. They are too new to the labor movement or too ignorant of economies to un derstand the result of what they advocate." The union organ goes on to xav that shutting down indus try merely aggravates shortages and contributes to the upward price spiral. Its advice to its worker readers is to stay on the job. produce as much as possible, and buy only what is necessary until prices drop to more favorable levels. There is encouragement to be found in this union appeal for higher production, which in the long run is the answer to the price and inflation problem regardless of what happens in and to OPA. It takes time, however, for the forces of supply and demand to bring about desired re sults, and waiting for it takes patience, a long viewpoint, and fortitude. Price Policy ALONG this line, the CIO recently made known a new, though temporary, policy to concentrate on holding down prices rather than making higher wage demands. This policy recognizes the fact that higher wages go into higher price structures that one follows the other in a continuing spiral. It is not easy to break the trend, and there are usually temporary injustices involved. There is a ray of hope for the future in these evidences of sound economic thinking on the part of union leaders. The current whisker campaign reportedly has hit the hair-cutting business hereabouts. A barber tells us that beard-growing citizens have lost interest in tonsorial neatness. He hinted that shaggy locks are a disgrace to the com munity and a blow to barber shop income. It won't last long. Klamath's booming spud growth contributed to that increase in the national potato crop estimate for August 10. Growers recall yearn ingly just 10 years ago, when Klamath had its biggest annual crop to that date and the na tional production hit new low for modern times. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 Private arrange ments were made by the leaders to get congress back on the job in a hurry if any unforeseen emergency calls for action before the scheduled reassembling of the new session in January.. Airplane travel being what it is. President Truman could get a quorum of both houses in a few hours and the entire body within 24 hours. These special arrangements were made before the senate and representa tives wended their way back to the modern hustings mounting microphone (which incident ly provides instantaneous transmission of news.) Thus the crowd of lawmakers went home in personal confidence that they had not abandoned their Jobs for electioneering in the usual com pleteness and were wisely ready for the election hiatus. While Mr. Truman and the various contest ing factions of democrats and republicans had not agreed on much else, they agreed on this. In accord with this willingness to cooperate, through the aftermath uf bittermtss upon certain basic essentials, within the past few days Demo cratic Senator Connally and Republican Senator Vandenberg have lot it be known they expect to go back to Paris at the end of this month. Surprising List THE lawmakers, en toto, thought ..ioy had made an unusually good record in their session, indeed an incomparable one In bulk. They debated, fought, threw mud and received it. but thev left upon the record of law enacted a list composed of such accomplishments as these: a tax reduction bill, the Bretton Woods agreement, the United Nations charter, a tariff cut in the trade agreements act, OPA extension, draft extension. British loan, army-navy pay increase. anti-Pctriilo radio bill. Hobbs anti racketeering bill, full employment bill, con gressional streamlining, two of the five Truman executive reorganization plans, the veterans housing bill, atomic energy control, RFC ex tension. Pearl Harbor investigation (finished, Mead war profits (continuing), and of course, hundreds, if not thousands, of others. While some of these moves were considerably less pretty than their fancy names, or you might say less thoroughly handled or com pletely desiiable to all than what they were called, as a whole they do make a surprising list. They show a tremendous amount of af firmative work. The negative side was not neglected either. Those proposals which failed of passage in this congress included: Unemployment compensation (for which there seems to be little hurry in a period of more need for work than ever before), the minimum wage bill (in a wage economy where the mini mum already is higher than ever before), the long-range housing bill which is accurately des cribed in the adjective commonly applied to it, the Case bill (vetoed), the army-navy merger which would require several years after pass age to work the branches into the complete envisioned benefits, a totalitarianesque uni versal military training law, equal rights for women (who seem to be exercising rights which are far more erual in some instances), the Wagner-Dingell "cradle-to-the-grave" bill, which envisages a security beyond comprehension (when will the politicos promise security beyond the grave?), the anti-poll tax, FEPC and many another suggestion of the pressure groups. Yet in the face of this record of their battling the boys were far from unanimously elated at their prospects. Such developments as the Oklahoma primary a few weeks before ad journment hastened them on their way. In this contest, occupied seats of Jed Johnson, Lyle Boren and Victor Wickersham were lost. The data from Oklahoma indicated the losses were attributed to a popular disinclination for the "ins" (which had not been generally reflected in the other primaries.) This scared them con siderably. From the record you must conclude the con gressmen worked, but the prospects for Novem ber in the view of those who face them, is far from onesided. SIDE GLANCES COM. 1M Wt HU MVVtCt. MCT.M.

Can tribal! ana following these rales are warmly welcomed. WILD AND WOOLLY I want to look tough like an old dough. And as wild as a grizzly bear; With alkali dust in. this beard of mine. And cockleburrs matting my hair; With an old slouched hat pulled down on my face. To shield it from sunglare and hail. And a wad of homespun in the side of my jaw. As I spit down the old.' dusty trail; With a shovel and pick and an old frying pan, . And a tattered and dusty bed roll, With a smoked up tin can for my morning brew. And an outfit for panning out gold. I'd head through the sagebrush toward them thar hills, Without any fanfare or cheers. All I need is a jackass to follow my steps. Do I hear any volunteers? M. H. Mitchell I tertainment, news and what not : that might be of some value, but i we don t get that, lar from it. i Where there are children they isit for hours listening to thefts, i murder, family quarrels, love making, or some woman crying, ! the rest of the family paying no ' attention to it. Then when there is a program ' that they would like to hear, half of that time they have to listen to some bird shooting off hot air about alkaseltzer, hair tonic, skin balm, or some fool thing that amounts to nothing, in order to get seven minutes of entertainment. As to radio music, there are but few that are entertained by it except the jitterbugs, and they don't know one piece of music from another. And sing ing, there are but few if any that are entertained by the singers, or would be singers of today. I can count people by the score that tell me they get disgusted and shut the things off 'lest they be driven to suicide. Which I don't blame them any. It seems to me the system could be changed so that many more would be benefited rather than be disgusted. Well I guess my safety valve has closed so I had better ring off. Thanking vou for printing this. F. E. PELLETT. RADIO COMPLAINT KLAMATH FALLS. Ore.

Vets Lodge Protest Against WAA Deal SALEM, Aug. 14 lP( Marion county veterans organizations will meet here tonight to formal ly lodge protests against the war assets administration sale of 41, 000 sleeping bags to a single pur chaser. State Director of Veterans Af fairs George E. Sandy wired Maj. Gen. Robert Littlejohn, ad ministrator of war assets in Washington, today that individ ual veterans feel "this makes a joke of their priority and puts a premium on the large lot purchaser." "You'd bcllor linvc it talk with Cu-orr lie liasn'l suvol a penny Ibis summer! I'm afraid when lie was in Japuit he got to thinking in terms of thousands of yen! U. S. Slashes Vet Insurance Interest Rate Veterans of this area who have loans on government life Insur ance policies will bt'nelit from the reduction of interest rates from five to four per cent an nually, Patrick Kilby. Veterans Administration representative here, pointed out. The recent rate reduction is in keeping with the present trend of Interest rotes on policy loans made by commercial life insur ance companies, Kilby stated. It follows by seven ymira a pre vious reduction, which "was tiom six to five per cent. In the nation, about 127,000 veterans of both world wars will save more than $1,000,000 on more than $115,000,000 worth of loans outstanding against U. S. government life or national serv ice life insurance, as a result of the latest cut. Kilby pointed out that vet erans may secure loans on perm anent plans of GI insurance after their policies have been in effect one year. Inquiries may oc made to Kilby at the court house here, where he is avail- 'able to veterans from 8 a. m. ! to 4:30 p. in. week days. ViiitJ-Gladys Ballingberg of 'Arlington.

I - STATIC ' I By BILL JENKINS 1 If' vv'Xj r$) if ft. .3 I snouid nave had ihis picture yesterday to fit in with a note on vacations, but didn't. Any way, it's a vacation picture the two young lassies being Gale Robbins and Gini McCurdy, ABC starlets, and they happen to be admiring the denizens of the Catalina aviary. Cau-lina. that's the place you couid see from Balboa on a clear day if they ever had a clear day ABC's classic forum gather around the table again tomor row night for another long-haired discussion, this time "How j Can Peace Be Brought To Pales i tine?" The four speakers mak i ing up the panel will consist of I Dr. James G. Heller, member of ; the executive committee and J vice president of the Zionist Or jganization of America: Dr. James i G. MacDonald, member of the Anglo-American committee of inquiry on problems of Jews in Europe and Palestine: Dr. Kah lil Totah. executive director of the Institute of Arab-Amorican Affairs: and Philip Jordan, for mer war correspondent for the London News Chronicle. The program will originate in New York. After having listened faith fully to the radio for some months now I'm just about to pack my spare socks and tooth brush and take off for Holly wood. Better money can be mj:dc there than anywhere else, and for a lot less expended energy. All you have to do is read Bartlett's Familiar Quota tions, Ripley's Believe It or Not, brush up on your American His tory and scan the encyclopedia and you're set mentally. Then steel yourself for a good d'.-al of physical torment and you'ie in. They ask you a question, you an swer it. they hit you in the face with a pie. you laugh, they hand you S450 in cash and you retire to wait for the $500,000 sweep stakes question which is usual ly something difficult like 'What animal, living in Africa and eat ing grass has a trunk in front and a tail behind?" Yes, radio is a great business, but tho cus tomers make all the dough. If you're willing to have your feel ings trampled on in public, you haven't got a financial worry in the world. ........ 1 OUR ESTATE 1 I SURVEY I I will lay your (state I many dollars m Basin Area Employment On Increase Employment In the Klumiilh basin area continued to increase j during the month of July, ne-l cording to latest reports from j the local United Sluti-a employ incut sci vico and no real labor i shortage in any group has do-1 velopcd here.

Aug. 14 111 'l..o hundred fifty non-edlble ducks will go on sale Aug. 19 at the Umatilla ordnance depot, the war assets administration report ed today. The ducks more properly called DUKW's are amphibious trucks which, the WAA asserts, would be splendid additions to the hunter's or fisherman's equip ment. They can be driven on the highway if compressed one and a half inches on each side to meet highway regulations, and (rom there right into the water to turn the motorist into a sailor. The possibilities, says the WAA, are "unlimited." Pendleton To Hear Portland Ex-Mayor PENDLETON, Aug. 14 (,V Joseph K.
