Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
A PAINFUL aftermath of the widely publi
cized Tulelake homestead drawings is the
announced rejection of 10 of those whose names
appeared among the first ao
drawn on that eventful day.
Despite repeated notations
In news stories and official
statement that the 86 "lucky"
veterans would be subjected
to a final screening before
certified as entrymen, undoubt
edly many people got the im
pression that the drawing was
final. The veterans them
selves must have known better
than that, but there is under
standably bitter disappoint
ment amone those who have
been rejected since the drawing.
As a safeguard against injustices, appeals from
the board's rejections are permitted. When and
if rejections are final, alternates will move up
1o fill the vacancies, and enough alternates who
have passed the screening will be certified for
homesteads.
Touchy Business
WHEN Michael Straus, reclamation commis
sioner, was here last fall, he made the
statement in a talk at Tulelake that the recla
mation bureau was deeply concerned about the
homestead opening because of the high value
of the farms at stake and the extreme interest
among veterans. Under such conditions, he im
plied, it was almost inevitable that there would
be disappointments and criticisms.
On the whole, however, the program has pro
ceeded smoothly. Much credit must go to tha
homestead examining board, made up of rep
resentative, reputable citizens, whose integrity
cannot be questioned. The reclamation bureau,
with Ted Broeck Williamson in charge as settle
ment officer, has done a careful job. It is to the
credit of all concerned that the program has
proceeded thus far without serious hitches.
Chance Of Success
NO system for handling a deal of this kind
can be perfect. No plan could be devised
that would guarantee to turn the farms over to
the most deserving of all interested veterans,
and we doubt tf any system could be worked
out even to determine who are the most de
serving. There may be improvements that could be
made on the plan that has been followed on
this opening, but in general outline it appears
to us to be sound and fair. The main idea has
been to make the land available to veterans of
good character who have the minimum in ex
perience and finances to make a go of it, and
to keep speculators from shouldering out genu
ine farmers who will establish homes and make
a living from the land given thern. by a gener
ous government. Financial requirements were
kept to a minimum level that would obviate
the charge that the opening was predicated on
the theory that "them who has gits."
This being irrigated land and part of a' recla
mation project, the government has a substan
tial investment in it. It is essential to the wel
fare of the community that farmers go on the
land with a reasonable chance of success.
Tragedy And Its Causes
TRAGEDY has taken the lives of two children
in the Klamath area in the past two days.
Both incidents bear examination for causes that
need public recognition so that other incidents
of the kind may be prevented.
In one case, a small boy, too young to be re
sponsible for what happened, fired a gun that
killed his little sister. It's the old story of the
handy gun that has been at the bottom of many
a tragedy in this area over the years. Guns
shouldn't be treated as household articles; they
have no place within easy reach of either chil
dren or adults. .
Stove oil poured on live coals is believed to
have caused the fire which killed a Tulelake
boy and seriously burned his sister. Several
serious fires have resulted from the same cause
in this area in recent months. They indicate the
need for extreme caution in the use of this
substance; children probably should be warned
not to attempt to use it at all.
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan, 22 The officially In-,
spired reports said Mr. Truman had ef
fected a great compromise between the navy
and army to get service approval for his uni
fied army, navy and air force. The implication
of these top headlined accounts was that the
president had given something or other unstat
ed to the navy for agreeing to relax its opposi
tion, and quit lobbying.
What this something or other was, is quite
difficult to find. The published form of the now
agreeable plan is about the same as the George
report recommendation of April 194J yes 1945.
There is to be an overall secretary of na
tional defense instead of one called secretary
of the armed forces as the original report rec
ommended, but there are to be three equal de
partments under him, air, army and navy. The
navy won a new right to keep its planes but
under a coordination requirement which may
make the retention purely technical, and pos
sibly unimportant. In all essentials the setup of
the joint chiefs of staff is about the same also,
except a war council haj been added. But if
the navy considers this a compromise, certainly
it would have reached just about the same com
promise nearly two years ago.
Before this, the congress had already com
bined its army and navy committees, formally
and officially, and the Truman budget had put
all national defense consideration into a single
item. The defeat of the navy politicians had
become an officially adopted conclusion long
since, so there was no need for anyone to com-nromise.
My information indicates Mr. Truman actual
ly "compromised" the navy with a rhetorical
cat-o'-nine-talls. The "compromise" effected by
the navy was simply a promise to do no more
lobbying to delay the merger which had already
been too long delayed.
Unification
THUS there will now go into full effect a
unification plan which was first disclosed
in detail to the outside world (and my informa
tion is, also the first to Truman himself) in this
column on October 8, 1945.
The fight of the admirals against this change
was wholly unrealistic of the condition of the
war plans today. Our frontier is not at our sea
coasts or where the geography traces its maps
of our extremities. Warfare has gone scientific,
and created a new frontier in the air north of
this country on the most direct Arctic route
from the only nation which is critical threat
to us today Russia.
The Russians well realize this new state of
defense affairs in their current efforts to obtain
Spitzbergen bases from the Norwegians despite
treaties protecting the neutrality of that terri
tory. In a conflict begun and waged by directed
air missiles, our frontier then is placed in a
waste which the army is just beginning to enter
in its considerations and in which navy seaships
probably cannot penetrate the ice.
- In this kind of warfare you must primarily
have air borne armies, a new kind of an air
defense and attack concept, depending on wholly
different preparations and developments. The
chief significance of the merger and its great
est beneficial point thus is that it gives the
air force equal standing with the old line serv
ices. Of course, you must have troops to occupy
zones and ships to supply armies of occupation,
so the old services cannot by any means be
dispensed with. They must have new jobs.
m
What About Savings?
A HEN the "compromise" was first an-
VY nounced, certain authorities thought it
necessary to warn the public there would be
no savings therefrom but that the $15,000,000,-
000 armed service budget this year could not
be cut below $11,500,000,000 next year.
That sounded bad, so other authorities rushed
out with promises to eliminate more energeti
cally the current duplication and waste and
later it became known some reserve officers
told the congressional committees a savings of
perhaps $1,300,000,000 could be made in the
military budget. The argument about this will
no doubt be long and hard.
No matter what savings can be (and frankly
a great many should be) effected, and no mat
ter what trivial circumstances may now be
called a big compromise for face saving pub
licity for the navy, the great truth behind the
announcement is that the armed services seem
now to have grasped their problem with ac
curate knowledge and a realistic hand. The
lesson of Pearl Harbor has sunk in. The services
at last have the means now to develop efficiency
in national protection. They have agreed on the
right idea. They can now work as a team. Not
wasting their energy in duplicating and fight
ing each other but in vying competitively with
in their single unit to keep right up to the min
ute every minute.

The World
Today
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Spitsbergen, main island of
Uie Svalbard group toward
which Moscow is milking passes,
had been operating as an or
ganized community for only 17
years when the Russians first
began to covet it.
That was during the first
World war, when the last czar
wanted to buy out the private
Norwegian coal owners, who had
gone in along with British and
American developers after 1900.
The only objective then, for a
Russia which was only slightly
interested in the northern ship
ping routes, was the nine to ten
billion tons of coal which are
estimated to lie beneath the
frozen surface.
Focal Point
Now Spitsbergen, which be
came a legal entity for the first
time in 1921 by a treaty under
which the world powers accepted
Norwegian sovereignty, reflects
the impact of world affairs from
several facets.
Soviet Russia first asked Nor
way to cede parts of Spitsbergen
in 1944 for bases which could
have been important then. Nor
way's exiled government in Lon
don declined to act on such a
matter until it was back home.
Since then, important political
angles have entered the picture.
Spitsbergen lies northeast of
Iceland, about half way between
Murmansk and the north pole,
and guards the sea route above
Norway's north cape. It lies
along the much-discussed rocket
route across the Arctic. It is
between Russia and Greenland,
that enormous island on the At
lantic's northern fringe which
was penetrated by the Germans
so recently, and whose staging
stations between Europe and
America will be even more im
portant in any future conflict.
In the last war planes and
ships from Spitsbergen could
have met the German planes
and ships from Norway which so
harassed the allied convoys to
Murmansk.
In Communication Lane
But much as this little soot
may lie across the communica
tion lanes of the modern world
from which it was so long iso
lated, uie recent Kussian moves
have placed it even more sauare-
ly across the path of American
policy.
Ihe united States wants a
system of bases which, coupled
with the availability of British
strong points, can be used to
help keep any future war at a
distance. She is working hard to
develop Alaska and the northern
Pacific, plans bases in far north
ern Canada directly across the
pole from Russia's own Arctic
outposts, retains north Atlantic
bases under long-term lease from
England, wants to work out
better security with regard to
such places as the Azores, and
is continuing civilian aviation
operations in Iceland, near those
same northern sea routes to Rus
sia, on a basis which contains
an open implication of what will
happen in war.
Russia probably sees Spitsber
gen as an opportunity to meet
us, as far from home as pos
sible, at one more point. But she
also foresees valuable use in the
future for every argument we
put up against it. Nothing would
give her more pleasure than to
catch us testifying against ourselves.
Police Probe
Minor Cases
Minor offenses and car prowls
made up city police business for
Uie past 24 hours.
Carl Garey, Macdoel, Calif,,
reported that his car was en
tered last night while parked on
s. 7tn ana a new stetson hat
and two pairs of Levis taken.
Chet Cole, Tulelake, told of
fleers that a tire and wheel were
removed from his auto while it
was parked in the Elks lodge
parking lot last night,
Three drunks appeared in
court today and four parking
tickets were paid.
Oregon Car

Abductor
(Continued From Page One)
lice guard until last night when
sho and her father were sta
tioned across the street from a
Sacramento bar in a futile ef
fort to capture her abductor.
The kidnaper was expected but
failed to appear at the bar to
collect the ransom.
The father, John Edward Dc-
vine, wealthy L,odi grape grower
and vice president of the Amer
ican Fruit Growers association,
had been told in a note the
night before to be at the bar at
8 p. m. last night with $10,000
in $20 and $1,000 bills if he
wished to sec his daughter again
After waiting nearly an hour
beyond the raasom deadline, po
lice and FBI agents decided Uie
kidnaper had been frightened
away by newspaper stories and
the girl and her father were re
turned home In a state highway
patrol automobile.
The girl was whisked Into the
back door of the Oevine home
just as her mother told a group
of newspapermen she had heard
nothing of her daughter's where
abouts.
Just then, Alice Dean's
brother, Dalton, cried, "Oh,
Mom, oh Mom, shes' here!"
Alice Dean, rushing into the
house, threw herself Into her
mother's arms with a cry, "Oh,
Mother," and then ran upstairs.
She was disheveled but appar
ently unharmed in any way.
The police broadcast said the
fugitive was driving a 1937 grey
Ford sedan with Oregon license
plates numbered 82-9086.
The broadcast described the
wanted man as about 42, S feet, 8
inches, 185 to 170 pounds, dark
brown hair, blue eyes, sharp
features, apparently well edu
cated." Since Saturday the man had
posed here ax a feature writer
in a nation-wide survey of high
school life looking for the "typi
cal American girl."
