run jikxixi Editor HALCOIH PUI Managing Editor KfcZJ EPLEY Today's Roundup Bv MALCOLM EPLEY AFTER a fow days out of town, and two or three more wound up in the fire story, we got time today to take a look again at the Oregon legislature ana louna it, apparently, Just about where we left off paying at tention to It a week ago. The tax puzzle is atill un solved; they are still Introduc ing new Ideas into the basic school fund situation; other tviatnr feclips are Still in 8US- pense, while something of spe cial interest to us, tne marine Barracks school project, is still being kicked back and forth by the state and WAA and hasn't even reached the legis lature. . , The legislative wheels grind too long too slowly, and this session, like all others, will end up in a mad scramble. Barracks Issue WAA has rejected a request from the state for a change in the proposed contract on the Marine Barracks. Here is the provision in the WAA offer to which the state formally objected: 2. That the property be utilised by the state of Oreoon In accordance with its pro gram set forth in detail in the application of October 14. 1946, and recommended by the U.S. office of education, for a period of 25 years from date of conveyance . 3. None of the property to be sold or other wise conveyed for a period of 23 years from the date of conveyance. The state asked to have the 25-year period reduced to 10 years. This the WAA has now refused to do, and the state board of education will be called again to consider the situation. Meanwhile, the legislature moves on toward con clusion, and more fooling around on this issue jeopardizes this project which state and federal authorities have already declared to be worthy. If the state accepts the 25-year provision, it can have the Barracks for educational purposes for $1. After using it for that purpose for some time, It wants to use it for some other pur pose, it can buy the property at the following basis: 40 per cent discodnt of the current market . value of $1,462,740. less 4 per cent of said amount of discount for each completed 12 ' months et operation in compliance with the terms of the transfer. Those are the provisions in the terms of the WAA offer. But this Is the state dealing with .the federal government, and it is not at all unlikely that an even more liberal plan could be worked out in later years if the state decided later to make use of the Barracks property for other than educational purposes. ' " The project should be placed before the legis lature on its merits for determination of bud getary support, for the vocational school pro posed there. -, 'About Meters RECENTLY, we have received a couple of communications from readers which er roneously state that parking meters were at one time voted down by the people of Klamath Falls. That is not the case. There never was such an issue at an election here. A vote on re taining parking meters here is planned tor some time along the middle of the present year, after the meters have been given a trial. One reader said he understood meters could not be installed without a favorable vote of the people. That, again, is erroneous. The council here, as elsewhere, has the authority to order meters installed. The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst SECRETARY of State Marshall is said by members of the house foreign affairs com mittee to be "optimistic on the whole" over maintaining peace, and Secretary - General Trygve Lie of the United Nations declares that "for the time being the possibility of actual 'armed conflict involving the powers can be discarded as a madman's dream." That's encouraging testimony by two of the world's leading experts on international affairs. Indeed there's plenty of evidence to support the thesis of peace among the major powers for a considerable period of years. However, Gen eral Marshall was discussing the world's "sore spots" with the committee, and Mr. Lie, in ad dressing the Minneapolis round table of the international conference of Christians and Jews, cautioned that the world must devote itself to the future. So it's clear that neither of these gentlemen is doing wishful thinking but that both recognize the dangers which must be avoided if peace is to continue, Peace is a fragile vase. Can't Wage War THE greatest deterrent to another world con flict in the near future is the fact that none of the powers barring the United States is physically capable of waging another major war. They're all in, and it's going to take many years for them to recover. And of course the peoples who have experienced this horror are, on the whole, thoroughly fed up. I think we can add, without being over-optimistic, that the majority of peoples never did want war anyway. However, your columnist isn't one of those who believe that the militaristic spirit has been uprooted from all hearts. To mention a specific case, I have no doubt that if the Russians were capable of making war, they might be at it again. My tour of Germany a few months ago convinced me lhat while the militaristic-minded German had been thoroughly whipped physical ly, he was far from beaten mentally. The will to fight was still there. But unfortunately that's not the whole story. There are other folk beside the Prussians who most certainly are toying with militaristic ideas. Perhaps they don't exactly wish for war but they've persuaded themselves that they will have to fight sooner or later to achieve their aspirations. Quite apart from the question of whether anybody wants war, there are numerous inter natonal issues which are potential breeders of conflict. One - of them and among the most dangerous is the matter of world-wide control of atomic energy. Peace will be in jeopardy until that is settled, for it is creating doubts and suspicions. STATIC By KELLY ROBERTS One of the many unsung heroes of the unfortunate Evans apartment house fire is Bill Peck, of the "K" cafe. Bill, whom I understand used to work on the police force himself, brought down three five-gallon milk cans full of coffee, which he served himself to any needy fireman or policeman on duty, used all the do-nuts in his place for the forces, and on top of that always had a pack of cigarettes handy, free of charge, for any fire-fighter that needed one. It's people like Bill that make a per son start thinking once again. Tomorrow night's Coast Guard Jamboree over KFJI at 7 p. m. will feature Madeline Mahoney and Joy Jones dividing the vocal honors, and the "Smile Time Boys" holding the center spot light. The STM's were here last week at the Pelican theatre, in case you didn't know, which I didn't. . Bing Crosby (lingsday, you know) finds himself with Judy Garland. William Frawley and Leo McCrary as guest stars on his TX'd program tonight at 9 p. m. over KFLW. According to the. publicity release Frawley and "Der Bingle" are supposed to liven up the script with a duo. That, we've gotta hear. Bing and Judy harmonize on "Connecti cut." Just what McCrary has to do with the program, ex cept getting the groaner a couple of "Oscars" for previous per formances, we have yet to learn. Right after Bing comes Mor gan. Why? I don't know. If you listen to "the poor man's poor man" lont enough, you eventual ly hit a fairly good show. At thai., Henry's about the best hu morous show on the air today. Here's your chance, girls! The Herald and News classifieds car ried an ad last evening under "Help Wanted, Female," telling any of the fair sex that they could look forward to a career in adventure in the U. S. coast guard. The only trouble is that the C. G. is not accepting any recruiting for the SPARS, only the regulars. If you can't be a SPAR, just stay where you are. We got quite a kick out of the Art Baker show over KFJI yes terday morning at 9 a. m. Art spent about his entire 30 minutes ra-.'ing about K F L W's "Bride and Groom" program which is heard at 2:30 p. m. each week day. It's darn seldom that one station puts on a platter which builds up another rival like KFJI did. The fair -haired boy of the morning broadcasts over KFLW was a little silent we noticed, especially on personalities. He ought to stay that way, he'd get rich quick, "Silence is Golden," ya know. We became embroiled in a discussion with our favorite "bistro" operator the other day, maybe you can help us out. When is a Zombie not a Zombie? He claims that a Zombie is copy righted ana can only be mixed according to the "Original Trad er Vic's"' recipe. We claim that isn't so. Does anyone know for sure? Anyway we got back at him slightly by asking, "How d'ya mix a Blue Blazer?" . 14 Oregon Unions Plan Merger PORTLAND, Feb. 19 ((In dependent telephone union workers and two railroad broth erhoods reported today they planned action - consolidating their ranks. C. M. Bixler, president of the United Telephone Employes of Oregon, said a coastwise vote ap proved 18 to 1 the affiliation with the ewly-formed Commu nication Workers of America.

Miller Speaks To Lions Club Roscoe Miller, health educa tion consultant of the Oregon state board of health, spoke on general phases of social hygiene at the Lions club luncheon Tues day. The subject of Eve Benson's letter regarding the sale of clothes donated for European refugees, was discussed and the club proposed to turn over any information they have to the na tional organization with head quarters in Chicago. Investigation is being made, Paul Angstead stated, to deter mine which clothing drive ac cepted the clothes which were contributed by the Bensons, and whether or not it was the na tional drive which was locally sponsored by the Lions club. Static Disrupts US Broadcast MOSCOW, Feb. 19 (Pi Poor atmospherics and interference from other stations caused bad reception in Moscow for the second U. S. Russian - language broadcast beamed at the Soviet Union last night. The first broadcast, the day before, also was poorly heard. Those who heard last night's program .seemed agreed that the program was too "highbrow" to attract many listeners, even if they could find it on the dial. They did welcome the presence of Bing Crosby, but didn't care much for the Stephen Foster tune he sang. Coin Collection Survives Fire A valuable coin collection owned by Ernest Mullis, mana ger of the local California-Pacific Utilities office, came through the Evans apartment fire last Sunday undamaged, although tne gas company was wrecked by the flames. Some of the coins were in a safe and some in a drawer at the office, Mullis said, and all were located after the fire, un damaged. He said that he docs not know how much his collection is worth on today's rare coin market, but planned to catalog the collection to establish its worth. Norblod Asks Cut In Army Officers WASHINGTON. Feb. 19 (JPi The army should reduce the number of its officers, Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) said in a statement today. He said that while the num ber of enlisted men has been cut from 8,000,000 in 1945 to 1. 070.000. the number of enlnneln has been cut from 10,590 only to 6489. Although saying the army's reason was that it needed a large peacetime group of offi cers as a nucleus for a wartime army, Norblad said "it is about time they were foregoing this luxury and economizing in their own front yard."

Famous Feud Flares Again MATEWAN, W. Va., Feb. 19 M'l Echoes of the Hatfield-Mc-Coy feud rang today through this mountain community where that storied clan war raged in the 1880's as Sheriff Dan Cham bers reported the death of Hu bert (Bay) McCoy and said Po lice Chief Allen Hatfield had ad mitted shooting him. Chambers said Chief Hatfield, 51. claimed self-defense. Tho sheriff told this story: A patrolman called on Hal field for assistance in a routine arrest yesterday and McCoy, 28-year-old miner, accompanied the Erisoner to the town jail, where ard words were exchanged. McCoy threw an uppcrcut at Hatfield, then turned on the pa trolman knocking him to the floor and grabbing for his gun. Hatfield, fearing McCoy would kill the patrolman and then turn on him, fired and mortally wounded the miner. "Their heads were close to gether," the sheriff quoted Hat field as saying, "but I fired from six or eight feet."

PUC Ponders Local Boost In Gas Rate (Continued from I'age One) been paying $173 a month for his office und warehouse in the Evans building, and now wus faced with the prospect of pay ing much more than that for possibly less adequate space, lie said he hud been offered office space only, without store room, service room and display facili ties, for $125 a month. He suld thut he figured the fire would cost the gus company several thousand dollars a year in Increased rents for office and warehouse space alone. But the gas company's request for a higher rate scale was made beforo the office here wus burned out and Is based on increased fuel costs, freight expenses, labor costs and other expenses. E. K. Albert, chief engineer anb) vice president of tho com pany, showed charts proving present gas rates were out of line with the heating costs of coal, cordwood, stovo oil and other forms of heating, and that as a result of the low rates the gas company was having to carry an "unnatural and unde sirable" heating load. C. E. Bramble, vice president and treasurer of the firm, told PUC members that the proposed rate hike was asked to return the company to its 1945 basis of a -small return on investment above operating expenses, and said that at the present rate the company was operating at a loss.
