Guest Editorial
By MARIAN LOWRY FISCHER
SALEM, Jan. 25 VP) An Institution that
knows well the pulse of the legislature is
the state library.
Legislators recognize they must have some
thing more than biased or fragmentary infor
mation as a basis for forming sound judgments
so, the state library is the answer.
The service requested and received is varied
rauglng all the way from gasoline taxes to
oysters, from city and county manager pro
posals to egg laws, from the appointive power
of the governor to hospital laws not to men
tion many requests about taxes, labor laws, util
ities and education.
. This service is confidential, so too much can't
be told about the nature of the contacts.
Before each session, State Librarian Eleanor
Stephens sends a letter to each legislator invit
ing him to use the state library. The letter also
calls attention to the publications in the fields
of his interest, and gives a list of comparative
legislation on current topics.
Maybe the request is to find out how to pro
nounce a word or trace a quotation, but the
library staff will come through sometimes on
10 or 15 minutes notice.
First In 1941
THE 1941 legislature was the first to have full
advantage of the state library's government
room, which is equipped with books on political
and social science, as well as periodicals, digests
and documents.
This week the library received the 10th
edition of the tax systems of the world a
work prized highly by those officials deeply in
volved in the subjects of taxes and budgets.
Also valued is the compiled recent digests
of state- laws on subjects of current interest,
covering state government, education, elections,
finance, taxation, labor licenses, planning, social
security and other subjects.
The requests are not only for interpretations
from radio, newspaper and magazines, but from
books and documents such as are most easily
available in the library.
The service goes on between sessions, too.
The library does much work for legislative
interim committees.
"The request may come from a legislator.
Rotary Hears
Farm Talk
" The transfer from man power
and horse power to maenme
power is one of the recent out
standing trends in agriculture.
according to A. B. "Sandy" Rob
ertson in a taut to notary ciud
Friday noon at the Willard. ,
Robertson, a Rotarian, is vice
nresident of the Production
Credit corporation, and is here
for the annual meeting of the
Klamath Production Credit asso
ciation. He was introduced by
Lee S. McMullen, secretary-treasurer
of KPCA. Directors of the
association William Kittridge,
Gene Hammond, Orb Campbell,
Lee Holliday were guests of the
club, and of Ed Geary, fifth di
rector and member of Rotary
; Other farm trends that Rob
ertson mentioned were increas
ing sizes of farm units, shifting
of crop production to more prof
itable crops under war economy,
reduction in sheep flocks with
increase in cattle, and inflation
of farm real estate values.
'The average farm unit in
Klamath county was 980 acres
in 1945, Robertson said, as com
pared to 498-acre size in 1940.
: Farm mortgages generally are
so large now that the farm is in
a vulnerable position, he report-

At the start wheat gained as

The World Today
By DtWITT MacKENZIE
Associated Praia Foreign Affairs Analyst
LORD WOOLTON. Britain's war-time food
minister, says John Bull has no chance of
repaying the $3,750,000,000 American loan, and
L. S. Amcry, another former cabinet minister,
declares John can't pay his way in a "world
of open cut-throat competition," after the elim
ination of the imperial trade preference system
a condition of the loan,
Those are gloomy predictions and it's only
fair to note that both the prophets, being con
servatives, are opposed to the present labor
(socialist) government. They could, of course,
be playing a spot of politics, but whatever way
you look at it (and irrespective of whether the
loan can be paid) the grim truth is that John
Bull is in the midst of a grave politico-economic
crisis.
We should have heard much more of this
emergency but for the fact that it's a character
istic of the Englishman that the more he is hurt
the less he talks. Of course there are political
outbursts between the opposing parties, but thus
far the country has been worrying much and
saying little. However, Britain is hurt, not
only as regards her own snug home islands but
imperially, for great and rich sections of her
empire are being broken off.
British Empire Changing
MOTHER ENGLAND and her empire are go
ing through a vast metamorphosis. This
change was hastened though not precipitated
by the war. Fate decreed that the socialists
should come to power just after the end of
the European conflict and so assume the re
sponsibility for handling this crisis.
England is largely dependent on imported
raw materials. And she must export to live.
Even though the British public is being de
prived of home manufactures so that the goods
may be exported, the exports are only a trickle
as compared with the flood needed to put the
country on its feet.
And as though that weren't enough, the Brit
ish Empire is in trouble. India and Burma, two
of Mother England's richest possessions, are be
coming independent. Among other difficulties
there is a Palestine imbroglio, and Egypt's de
mand that Britain cease to use that country as a
military and naval base.
That's not a bright picture. Still, it is tradi
tional with the Briton that, as he puts it, Eng
land always "muddles through." That is a favor
ite expression of his and a backhanded way of
proclaiming that John Bull will see it through.
Police Quiz
Car Prowler
Gene Ericks. 22, is booked at
the city police station for larceny
and has admitted at least seven
of the recent car prowls which
have taken place on Klamath
Falls streets.
Police said that Ericks had
confessed to breaking into seven
cars around the armory last
Thursday night, and that many
of the stolen articles, such as
flashlights, mirrors and the like.
were recovered.
Ericks was arrested this morn
ing at his home, 907 Alameda.
Police said that he has been in
trouble with the law before.
Car owners who lost items in
the recent wave of car prowls
should come to the police sta
tion and try to identify the
articles found at Ericks' house.
Sheriff Searches
Former Bend Man
Anyone knowing the where
abouts of Charles Crocker, form
erly of Bend, Ore., who is be
lieved to be working for some
lumber camp or mill in Klamath
county, is asked to contact the
sheriffs office.
Crocker is needed badly by his
family In Bend.

Black Dahlia
Clue Followed
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 25 ll'l
Homicide detectives, until now
without tangible clues in the
mutilation murder of attrac
tive Elizabeth Short, today,
found themselves provided with
"so many leads we don't know
which to choose first," appar
ently furnished by the mad
killer himself.
In a letter addressed to "the
Los Angeles Examiner and
other Los Angeles newspapers,"
were contained Miss Short's
birth certificate, social security.
card and an address book
which was seized upon eagerly
by police who immediately be.
gan to seek out the persons
listed for questioning.
The envelope was addressed
with portions of headlines re
lating to the case, clipped irom
Los Angeles papers and crudely
pasted together.
"This book opens up dozens
of new leads," Homicide Cnpt.
Jack Donahoe declared. "The
articles are definitely Miss
Short's."
He would not commit him
self, however, on whether they
were mailed by the killer, or
someone else who had come in
to their possession. Whichever
it was, the clues remain, he
added.
ExceDtionally clear finger
prints were obtained from the
envelope and papers it con
tained, and are being forward
ed to the FBI in Washington.

as a floating city years ago when
Chinese merchants, refused per

KFLW Proudly Presents
"The Greatest Story Ever Told"
Bridging the gulf of centuries between Biblical timet
and today, "The Greatest Story Ever Told" will have Its
American Broadcasting company premiere over KFLW.
tomorrow, Sunday, January 26, at 3:30 p, m,, PST.
Although the-cost of carrying this program over th
network's more than .200 sfptlons is borne by the Cood
year Tire ond Rubber Company, there will be no com
mercial announcement excepting the required sponsor
identification.' '. ...,; A-1'-' l ' .X., ' .
The opening broadcast is the story of the Good
Samaritan in which the listener will travel the road from
Jericho with the unfortunate traveler who. fell In with
thieves. The powerful dramatization, prepared under the
supervision, of Fulton Oursler, nationally-known editor
and student of the Bible, is produced In modern language
in order to add clarity and directness to the story and
ot the same time be true to the" teachings of the New
Testament. . , .
The cast is supported with appropriate music sup
plied by a large orchestra and a choral group of mixed
voices. '

weeks before he appears as early
as on this shortest day.
Miss II lock presents this addi
tional puzzler: "I distinctly no
ticed that three weeks after the
winter aolstirn (Jan, 12) It was
very much lighter as 1 was going
home from tho office than litre
weeks before tho solstice (Dec.
1.) I'lenso explain."
Using tho data for 44 degrees
north lalltuda on a standard time
meridian, we find that Dec. 22
had the sun above the horizon 8
nr., 54 mill., and both Dec. 1 and
Jan. 12 were of the same length,
9 nr. 10 mln. Hut on Jan. 12
both sunrise ami sunset occurred
exactly 20 minutes later than on
Dec. 1. Jnn. 12 thus had a darker
7 a.m. and a lighter 6 p.m. than
Dec. 1.
The causes of this seeming
Irregularity cannot be fully ex
plained here; only general prin
ciples stated. Tho inclination of
the earth's axis to Die plane of
its orbit makes the sun appear
very low in the south In winter.
After Dec. 22, it rises and seta
slightly farther north along the
horizon each succeeding day.
This tends to result In earlier
sunrises and later sunsets; a day
longer at both ends.
lint since the earth move
most rapidly on Its orbit when
nearest the sun which Is at
about New Year's, unreasonable
as this may seem it is charging -through
space throughout Decem
ber and January with greater
tlinn Its average speed. We de
tect this motion in the sun's
apparent shifting in the sky to
ward tho east. At clock-noon It
Is farther east by a greater
amount over the previous noon
position than at any other time
of the year. This tends to delay
both sunrise and sunset. It short
ens the day at one end; lengthens
it at the other.
Tho tendency toward the sun's
earlier appearance due to its
rising farther north each day, la
for two weeks after the solstice
more than neutralized by its east
ward shifting due to the earth's
excessive orbital speed, so sun
rise continues a little later each
day. But these two effects add
together favorably at the other
end, causing abnormally delayed
sunsets. There La even enough
to spare to make the sum total
of daylight hours increase im
mediately after tho solstice.
