Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
EVERY once in a while the persons who handle
the public business get the strange notion
that the public business isn't any of the public's
business.
We've had that experience
here on numerous occasions,
and we note from the Bend
Bulletin that something of the
kind has been going on at
Bend in connection with the
work of the city commission.
The Bend commission is re
quired by the city charter there
to meet twice a month. The
Bulletin has had a reporter at
those meetings, and has re-
pont-a ute pi ui-trcumga w his EPLEY
interested public.
But this week, the Bulletin suddenly found
out it had been missing out on things. It found
the commission had been holding private, un
announced meetings, and had not been giving
out any information afterwards about what
went on behind closed doors. There were 24
regular meetings of the Bend commission in
the last year, and 24 of the secret meetings.
"Obviously," concludes the Bulletin, "busi
ness has been going on that the administration
did not care about getting to the public."
Out of the fuss raised at Bend came a deci
sion by the city officials to notify the Bulletin
reporter of all meetings, and presumably they
will be duly reported hereafter.
a
it bW Up
SOME years ago, the Klamath Falls city coun
cil, at a publicly unscheduled meeting,
adopted a parking meter program. When it
came out that the deal was cooked up in a star
chamber session, the resultant ruckus blew the
parking meter program sky-high. In the recent
parking meter dealings, councilmen took a leaf
from the notebook of experience and worked
in the open.
But there is still a tendency on the part of
the council to hold off-the-record gatherings at
times other than the regular council sessions
are conducted. Councilmen-have indicated they
do not wish the press to report these meetings,
or gatherings, or whatever they may be called.
Any action agreed upon at the special or in
formal meetings presumably will be officially
approved at regular meetings, and will become
a part of the minutes, thus being made available
for report to the public.
That, it may be argued, puts the special ses
sions in a better light than would otherwise be
the case. But even so, we urge the inadvisabili
ty of doing very much of that sort of thing.
Often the discussion that precedes action pro
vides important information the public has a
right to know.
For example, discussion by the councilmen
shows why they take certain action, or why
they refrain from certain action. It carries the
explanatory material that is essential to mak
ing the public well-informed on what is done
about its business.
r If the discussion is confined to off-the-record
gatherings, the public is denied that informa
tion. . First issues of the Congressional Record have
arrived on our desk, by courtesy of Congress
man Stockman. We pored over the verbatim
report of the Bilbo argument last night, and
today we struggle with a third-degree headache.
Cordon, Cornett and Snell have now all de
nied a gossip story of a political deal that would
make Cornett governor, Snell U. S. senator,
and Cordon jobless.
' A woman reader inquires: "Why don't they
light those ornamental lights at the entrances
of the Klamath Falls post office? Those steps
are dark and dangerous any night, and dark,
dangerous and slippery on cold nights." Well,
why don't they?
A representative of the Soroptimist club re
ports to us that Soroptimists tried for a long
time to establish a waiting room and rest room
facilities in town, along the lines discussed in
this space yesterday. The club couldn't find
suitable quarters for the facility. The project
looks like an exceptional opportunity for a re
tail business house, if nothing can be done co
operatively or through semi-public agencies.

Bv PAUL MALLON
Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS Backstage here
the publicity catfighting unions (CIO,
Lewis, AF of L) are teaming up toward unit
ed effort to stop congress from enacting any
except token union reform legislation. A man
dropped into a congressman's office the other
day on what he said was a tour of all the fresh,
earnest new legislators, mostly republican. He
said he had been chosen by CIO headquarters
and John Lewis jointly, meaning also the Lewis
wing of AF of L at least, to do a joint job of
"publicity" on the reform proposals.
In the other days lobbying was confined
largely to lawyers and their associates. Nowa
days a heavy bulk of the work has switched to
the field of "publicity." The various parties
wishing to influence legislators have come to
realize primary importance of news, or as Mr.
Lewis himself might describe it (and himself)
with his predilection for Shakespeare: "With
his mouth full of news, which he will put upon
us, as pigeons feed their young" the "young"
being the public and the yearling legislators.
Strange Alliance
THIS evidence of strange banding together is
surprising in view of the printed stories
that Bill Green declined to accept the CIO in
vitation for a joint public conference on legis
lation and Lewis did not appear at that meet
ing either. But it is not illegal and displays
primarily the growing scope of a coalescing
union movement to descend upon congress not
only with both feet, but all feet. The unions
may say the manufacturers do about the same
thing, yet actually in this instance, the manu
facturers in their convention decided to leave
the issue of how to legislate up to congress.
On the contrary, the unions are developing
public news designed indirectly to influence
congress such front page bits as these:
The constant warnings that any union reform
legislation must not be "punitive" a warning
which is already causing many yearling legis
lators to lean over backward, because nearly
none wish to be punitive.
The public CIO indorsement of the Truman
plan to submit "evils of the labor situation" to
a congressional Investigation, which the presi
dent thought could be concluded by March,
although no one else seems to think so, and
certainly not those parties who would be glad
to shove the important parts of proposed legis
lation off into an inquiry which might be made
endless by developing a constant need for con
tinuance. The needs of the unions to assume that any
move for reform is just a plot of the corpora
tions or, as Phil Murray has specifically put
it advocated "by powerful monopoly interests
(which) hope to restrict the effectiveness 01
labor by legislation to curb, harass yes, even
strategy the unions have notice
ably been initiating, and you mignt De greaxiy
effect it is naving
OSTENSIBLY the strategy seems designed
to promote a split in the republican party.
Already various groups of majority legislators
are being formed backstage, and while none of
these has oublicly joined or assigned any promt'
one or two CIO sympathetic re
publican senators, some groups now are favor
able to slow action, to seeking union political
reforms (as reported in this
and similar steps. Already the
work has caused six or seven
democratic senators to form a group openly
supporting a further investigation of a subject
upon which congress has for two years speni
more time than any other.
However, this movement has not cut all one
way. Evidence is discernible tnat certain siaie
CIO organizations are developing antagonism
to the New York (if not the Washington) lead
union, and may come out. against
its ties to the commies through tne American
labor party and its dwindling political action
committees.
All in all, then, any objective report must
disclose a terrific inner lobbying struggle being
now to which little or no public
attention has been drawn. In essence, so far, it
seems to be about what any experienced legis
lator would expect at this stage of the game
is running wide open, prelim-
ir.ary to an attempt of the republicans to agree
Any attempt to measure its ef
forthcoming legislation would De
In general, the incoming republicans seem to
be a clean-looking lot of rather earnest politico,
seriously bent on listening to but not being in
fluenced by the lobbies of either business or
unions, and ultimately working out for them
selves certain reforms strictly in the public
interest.

It's sBingsday evening again
and as always "Der Binglc"
heads ABC's list of hits. Bing
has as his special guest for to

the screen by Larry Parks in the
"Jolson Story." Al and Bin
get together in two numbers
and Bing does an Al Jolson take
off while Al does a typical Bing
Crosby boo-boo-boo song. It's at
9 p. m. over Kt LW.
Following Bing, of course,
comes Henry (Here's) Morgan,

"Typical Morgan Fans" (sung to
the tune of for "He's a Jolly

shows that more thinking people

plains that this statistical phe

previously. According to Mor
gan's theory, this proves, that
people want to think, and will
think, if they know what to
think about. "It's up to us." he
says. Morgan cites the 44-hour
week a6 a great detriment in
thinking, people now have more
time for thought, he says. Mor
gan also claims that thinking
can become extremely benefi
cial, if done in moderation. In
any case, , why raise a big

Truman Is right in saying go

Keep most of the taxes up till

only income tax . reduction
should be on married men with
a $2000 income and $1000 on
single men. Keep alt the other

the appropriations down to
$29.5 billions. It can't be done.

AP Foreign Alfalrs Analyst
Rome imviil veterans re su
Rntliil llmt 1 1 ti 1 lit it suitors scuttle
Ihelr ships rather Ihnn surrender
them to the World Wur II vic
tors under the proposed pence
treaty.
It Is threat of which allied
authorities In Italy have been
aware for ioiiid time, and has
resulted in strict secrecy regard
lull allied atircementa as to who
will get the warships as repara
tions. Althouith Frank O'Brien, As
sociated 1'ress correspondent in
Rome, says authorities will not
lulk openly on the subject. It Is
understood that Kruncf, Soviet
Russia and probubly Yugoslavia,
Greece unci Albania will be on
the receiving end.
Comet r. Ernesto Clurlntl of the
Italian navy said in New York
after the foreign ministers con
ference that Italy stood to lose
200,000 of her 330.000 tons of
warships, and would bo reduced
to two old battleships, four cruis
ers, four destroyers, 10 turpvdo
boats and 20 corvettes, with' no
submarines. This means that
three battleships, five cruisers,
seven destroyers and 37 sub
marines are to go to other coun
tries, together with a large num
ber of auxiliary vessels.
. Allies Nervous
O'Brien reports, however, that
allied authorities, although they
hold the units under surveillance,
are frankly nervous over their
ability to deliver. The crews, not
the Italian government, are sus
pected, although the government
had asked for permission to scrap
vessels which It would not be
permitted to keep rather than
have them turned over to other
Mediterranean powers. The gov
ernment also has cited Italian
naval cooperation with the allies
in the last months of the war,
and tried to maintain that the
fleet had not actually surrend
ered, but changed over to the
allied side under a "gentlemen's
agreement.
All of this seems to have been
merely a grasping at straws, how
ever, without any real hope of
changing the allied decision. The
government probably will be
held strictly responsible If It falls
to control any fire-eaters in the
fleet. Italy's preferred position
among the former axis powers
had been duo all along to her
willingness to carry out allied
Instructions. She is years ahead
of Germany and Japan In re
habilitation, and has been the
recipient of much kind treatment
such as $100,000,000 export
credits. The Rome pronouncement by
the naval veterans, taking the
form of an "order of the day,"
serves to put the government on
notice, however, and the allies
will know where to place the
blame for any overt act which
might now occur.
Germany was forced to pay
heavily in additional tonnage for
the vessels her crewmen scuttled
In Scapa Flow after World War 1.
Italy, heavily dependent on sup
port from those she fought
against during the war, has
everything to lose by bucking
too hard against allied decisions
which have been, from several
standpoints, very lenient.
One half of one per cent of
the petroleum produced in the
United States, If converted Into
synthetic rubber would produce
an amount equal to all U. S. rub
