Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
THE newsgatherers in our office were
busy this morn Int picking up the
details on a dozen or more accidents
one fatal and several
others causing serious
injury which occur
red in this area over
the Christmas Evc
Christmas Day
period.
While this was go
ing on locally the AP
wire brought in a
story telling of the
huge nationwide vio
lent death toll over
the same period.
These post - holiday EPLEY
accident stories are universally dis
played as big news because they are
in sensational contrast to the theoreti
cal tradition of the day rejoicing,
merrymaking, and happiness.
There may be other periods of like
length in the year when the accident
toll mounts to similar volume, but at
no time does tragedy strike the public
consciousness with such impact as at
Christmas.
DANGEROUS
HOLIDAY . periods such as Christ
mas, Fourth of July, Labor Day
week-end, Armistice and Memorial
Day, at least appear to produce more
violent death than other periods of
the year.
They are times when people depart
from their ordinary workaday routine,
seeking unusual pleasures.
And that brings up the unpleasant
conclusion that pleasure-seeking is
generally pretty dangerous business.
SHOPPING SEASON
THE Christmas shopping season
which ended Tuesday night may
have produced an all-time record in
volume of sales. It started early, and
was fairly well-sustained over a rather
long period.
But while sales volume did go Into
the heights, it has not been a season
of profits to the extent that it might
appear to casual observers. Retailing
costs were high, margins were not
great, and some of those business
houses which did a bang-up business
on the sales floors find business not
so bang-up on the black side of the
ledger.
In general, Klamath's enterprising
business community provided the holi
day buying public with a generous
supply of Christmas merchandise, and
Klamath maintained its standing as a
shopping center lor a large area, with
some people coming here to shop from
points outside what is generally re
garded as the Klamath trade territory.
CHRISTMAS WEATHER
THERE was a lot of yearning around
here yesterday for a White Christ
mas, many people feeling the same
sort of nostalgic twinge that touched
Irving Berlin when he wrote the song
in warm sunshine at Beverly Hills on
one December 24.
Winter weather in the Klamath
country is seldom given a good word.
When it is bad, people holler about
it; when it is good, they complain it
is unseasonal. ,
As a matter of fact, we have more
than the usual quota of sunshine in
the Klamath country in winter.
Weather bureau records show few sta
tions in the state with such a high
average of sunshiny days.
PROPERTY GIFT
RECENTLY, the city of Klamath
Falls has received some worth
while property gifts, particularly the
Riverside property of Mrs. Rufus
Moore, left in a will, and 40 acres
adjoining Moore park from Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Reed.
These gifts point an example for
others who live and prosper in Klam
ath Falls, and wish to return some
thing to a community which has given
much to them.

Motion's Column
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 Tom
Dewey has been running off
with the publicity for the 1948 presi
dential nomination while issuing denial
of intent. His spectacular victory in
the nation's strongest political state
has. brought him even into the femi
nine gossip columns, where it is being
reported he is the best republican vote
getter. Higher up some of the leaders
are saying his nomination and election
are already a foregone conclusion.
But this does not happen to be the
case. Dewey is not the best republican
vote getter. Those republicans, who
arc fine pointers, have figured that
Bricker of Ohio received 5D.D1 per
cent of the vote in his homo state;
Martin 59.81 per cent; wlillo Dewey
received 56.60 per cent (but Warren
of California got nearly ull), .
WHO IS LEADING?
k OR is Dewey's titular leadership
l actual. The working leaders of the
party really are Vandcnbcrg on for
eign policy, and Tuft on domestic poli
cy. This may or muy not turn out to
Dewey's advantage. While he sits in
Albany taking a stand only necessari
ly on the Issues of the stuto, Vandcn
bcrg will be mostly at the United Na
tions the next two years taking a
stand on every international Issue
which comes along. Similarly, in the
senate, will be required to act daily
on economic issues of the day. In the
past the positions occupied by Vandcn
bcrg and Taft have been considered
by politicians to be detrimental. Usu
ally in such positions, men accumulate
too much opposition in time, and the
nomination goes to a governor (Lan
don and Dewey) or an outsider (Will
kie) against whom not much can be
said.
But we are In an atomic area now.
We are seeking progress towurd peuce
and production. If the active republi
can leadership should succeed in de
livering one or both, the step from
the senate to the White House might
be shorter than that from Albany.
Vandenberg has already been an
nounced as the next president by the
governor-elect of Michigan although
he renounced Intent also. Taft Is in an
excellent tactical position since he
adroitly retired from the last race in
favor of Bricker (who now may simi
larly bow in favor of Tuft). And, of
course, Warren of California, Martin
of Pennsylvania, Stasscn of Minnesota
(the announced candidates) and Martin
of Massachusetts, may be running
along with some others who could
make it a close fight. Thus my present
conclusion is that the chances of Van
denberg and Taft, If added together,
are certainly much larger than
Dewey's. Unless they kill each other
off, or split, they couldn't beat him
today.
MACHINES BREAK DOWN .
THE biggest strictly political news of
the elections was the breakdown
of the democratic city machines. Those
machines, plus the south, were the
democratic party. But Kellcy is cling
ing to Chicago only by a clutch on his
hair (the last half the most important
Cook county offices, having delivered
the next mayoralty race to an antag
onistic democratic leadership. This has
not been publicized much around the
country, but Kelley could hardly ex
pect to keep his machine functioning
with so many parts missing, and there
seems to be every current reason to
suspect Chicago will go republican in
me mayoralty elections next SDriinz.
Dewey did not similarly crack the
Tammany machine in New York, but
a republican presidential condition
might.
Last year Mayor O'Dwyer's opposi
tion slate was almost as large as his
democratic vote (without the doubtful
American labor party). At any rate,
O'Dwyer does not run again until
1949. Incidentally, the Hague leader
ship went further toward inconse
quence in New Jersey, and the repub
licans carried Boston for the third
time in history.
BUGLE CALLS GOP
SO the republican race is now hear
ing the bugle, with the knowledge
that its nominee will likely win the
White House and the race is wide
open. The various candidates today
control so many divisions of the vote
no one would have a nominating ma
jority. Warren will have the Pacific
coast and probably the Rocky moun
tain area. Vandenberg and Taft will
divide the midwest, and Dewey can
bet a substantial following In the east
and south, although the big Pennsyl
vania delegation would be for Mar
tin. If Taft and Vandenberg get to
gether, one might win; if a deadlock
ensues, the nomination would go to
someone like the popular Warren of
California, or Martin of Pennsylvania,
with Dewey theoretically looming
large in the background, but perhaps
not as large as the Ohio group which
could nearly run the party if it works
Washington things right.
Personally I am saving my money
until I can see what happens In the
next year, at least, and marking all
republican presidential stories now
down to publicity.

Day After Christmas
Proves Tough For Writer
Br HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. Dec. 26 (IP) I
can stand everything about
Christmas except the day after.
That is today.
Today I want a nice padded
cell away from anything and
anybody I ever knew. Don't you,
too?
Don't you wish you were a
leprechaun? Wouldn't it be nice
to soy 'The devil take the whole
human race," and really not
care?
I would like to take off my
shoes right now and wade
around in the morning dew of a
land I never saw.
I would like to shuck off this
husk "mo" and be somebody
else. Don't you ever get tired of
your own identity?
I've worn the "dogtag" of my
self so long that I would trade
filnces with a Siberian shepherd
f I didn't hate to eat lamb so
much.
Did you ever look Into the
eyes of a oat? There is mystery.
A cat is caged and purring ad
venture. The eyes of a cat are
windows to a terrible wonder
land in which we tame people
arc afraid to wander.
Problems Unsolved
I am an untidy man sitting at
a desk heaped one foot high with
letters, in each letter is a prob
lem. I hate to answer letters be
cause I don't think any problem
In life is ever really solved. I
think we just keep postponing
the solutions until death wears
out our compromises.
uo you think It would be fun
to have my job and write a daily
piece for the newspapers? Not
today.
I had a swell Chrsltmas yes
terday, but it was just the kind
of a day you had. Something to
enjoy but nothing to write
about.
But then I came Into my office
to "dig my daily grave," a Don
Marquis once described the task
of writing a column.
And a fellow said, "Why don't
you write about the people that
don't have anybody to be with
on Christmas but still try to be
long? Like the old elevator oper
ator that hung a Christmas
wreath in his elevator because
if he hung it in his room nobody
would sec it but him."
And another guy said, "Why
don't you write about the ex
press men who deliver Christ
mas packages? I ran into one
who was frantic because all day
long he had been trying to de
liver a twontv-five pound tur
key with the feathers still on it
to a woman who wasn't home.
And he told me the year before
he -delivered two full grown
Great Danes to a woman and she
fainted right under the mistle
toe." Well, now, who wants to write
about people with problems on
the day after Christmas? My
heart Is a wrung-out rag. I feel
sorry for all two-lcgui'd folk In
general, but not for unybody in
particular. Do you?
Dream of Eden
Today I Just want to take off
my clothes In tho Garden of
Eden, and let my four remaining
gray hairs float In a breeze born
In the springtime of the world.
I don't want to meet anybody
I ever knew or say anything I
ever said before. I would like to
have lunch with a wlvule with
six legs or play titldlywinks
with Cleopatra.
Wouldn't It bo wonderful on
this doy ofter Christinas the
one period of phunlusy in our
always troubled year to do
something never done before?
To walk right through the door
way of our commonplace exis
tence and wrestle with the
fourth dimension.
Wouldn't you like to know for
example what your dog really
thinks of you? Or what manna
tastes like? Or who was the
most beautiful woman who ever
lived? Or what was the first
word Eve spoke to Adam?
Well, we never will. But
everybody gets a tin whistle of
some kind on Christmas. And to
day If you'll excuse me I'm
blowing mine romping In ever
lasting pastures, where the grass
is always green and the wind is
never chilly.
Cometh now . the good wife
