Today's Roundup
Bf MALCOLM EPLEY
AYFAIRS of the Klamath Indian reservation
, are receiving Increasing public attention,
regionally and nationally. Wade Crawford, ex-
Indian- superintendent of tne
reservation and long a critic
of the Indian bureau's adminis
tration, hat received nation
wide publicity with sensational
attacks on the bureau recently.
The Indian bureau head has
been quoted on the wires as
saying that the Klamath reser
vation is regarded as one of
the first likely to be ready
for all or partial independence
from government supervision.
The Klamath issue is largely
tied up with the broad national
question of what to do about Indian reserve
"" tions. There are so many Implications in the
proposed liquidation of the reservation that
some who see this as ultimately desirable are
hesitant about advocating it as an immediate
measure. A thorough investigation of all the
facts and Indian affairs are really complicated
is needed to clarify the issue for the Indians,
for the public, and for congress which will
have to act on these problems.
White people in this vicinity who are anxious
that the best possible policies should be adopted
for our Indian neighbors are naturally hesitant
about becoming Involved in a situation about
which there appears to be disagreement among
the Indians themselves, and about which all
the facts are not entirely clear.
Disaster Tolls
IT was expected that there would be revisions
of the death toll in the Los Angeles explosion
that some observers described as similar to an
atomic bomb blast. The first bulletin which
came over our teletype at The Herald and News
gave "several killed." Later, the toll was
placed at SO dead, 100 injured. Before we went
to press yesterday, the number of injured was
changed to 300. Today, the last story we saw
before writing this had placed the death toll at
15, with some 156 sufficiently injured as to
require hospitalization, and some of them were
expected to die. (This may change before press
time.)
The local experience with determining the
toll of last Sunday's fire indicates the tre
mendous task of the search parties in the Los
Angeles blast. The picture which we carried
yesterday, rushed by Wirephoto from Los
Angeles, gave some idea of the mass of rubble
to which large area of the Southern California
town was reduced by the terrific explosion.
Persons close at hand, viewing the explosion
effects, could hardly be blamed for early
estimates hat ran as high as 100 dead. In such
disasters, there are always rumors that spread
like wildfire, and there is a human tendency
to believe the worst.

Institution Problem
SUGGESTED use of the Camp White hospital
facilities near Medford for a state mental
institution has hit a snag in the shape of a
constitutional limitation on the location of
stater institution. .:..'.;-.... . i, .
. This provision prohibits locating institutions
elsewhere than in the Salem area unless au
thorized by a vote of the people. Gov. Snell
called attention to the rule after a legislative
committee took look at the Camp White
facilities and' agreed almost unanimously they
were ideal for the suggested purpose. Attorney
General Neuner later confirmed the governor's
opinion.
Camp Whit hospital has an elaborate set-up
of buildings capable of caring for 2300 patients
and 300 attendants. Oregon has long been con
fronted with serious problem of overcrowding
in its state hospital, and the Camp Vihite facility
would seem to be an answer to the problem if
the legal question can be settled by vote if
necessary. It is understood the state could get
the property at 100 per cent discount.
Fortunately, the rule quoted by the governor
and attorney general does not apply to the use
of the Klamath Falls Marine Barracks for a
vocational school, which would be an extension
of an educational system already set up. Here,
also, the state could get the plant at 100 per
cent discount for use for a specific purpose.

A ASH1NGTON. Feb. 21 The Russians are
VV rolling out for the March Moscow con
ference on the German peace treaty, a welcome
doormat which is about one inch wide and
studded with thistles. What they are up to, no
one around the state department appears to
know for sure. Yet certainly Stalin's advance
propaganda is designed to make all walk a
straight and narrow path as Russia directs,
and to soften our officials into a frightened
tenderness.
Having attacked the American religious and
peace minded delegate, George Foster Dulles, as
a war monger, the Russian government officially
sent a note declaring the State Undersecretary
Acheson to be "rudely slanderous" and "hostile
toward the Soviet Union" for having said simply
this: "Russia's foreign policy is an aggressive
and expanding one."
Acheson did not volunteer this comment. He
offered what the Soviets call "inadmissable
behavior" under questioning by a congressional
committee on the doubtful Lillenthal appoint
ment. It may be inadmissable for anyone to
speak out in Russia, but in a democracy it is
paramountly necessary for a government official
to answer frankly the questions of congress.
Further, what Acheson said would not be inad
missable at a diplomatic pink tea.
Aggressive
THE word aggressive means "disposed to vig
orous outgoing activity in behalf of an
object" Any undeluded person in the realm of
reason must consider the term "aggressive" as
applied to Soviet diplomacy to be accurately
and mildly descriptive. The Soviets have cer
tainly been belligerently aggressive in Iran,
have swallowed up Latvia, Esthonia and Lithu
ania, and their communists pride themselves on
being politically aggressive throughout Europe
and Asia, as do their delegates in UNO.
Acheson also said Soviet policy was "expand
ing," which means "enlarging, swelling, spread
ing out." Anyone who claims it is NOT would
do violence to the plain facts which are no
secret to any adult American. Russian foreign
policy is thoroughly in accord with world com
munism, which is bent on world conquest.
Off the record around here, some officials
used to say when they saw the Soviets doing
violence to language and reason: "The Russians
are crazy, but not that crazy." Now these
same men say they are not so sure. The
behavior of Russia diplomatically of late has
been mimical to the simplest of common sense.
It is becoming inadmissable to reason.
Diplomats feel they run a danger of Moscow
attack if they simply say today: "Russia is
Russia," or "today is a fine day." Indeed some
wish to send Russia's world activities to a
psychiatrist for the answer.
Sensitive Stalin
HOWEVER, this is not the general studied
viewpoint of the close followers of Soviet
technique. Russia does not bother much about
reason, only about reasons. Her motives are
less a mystery to the new military regime
than to the old Byrnes political crowd which
ran the state department for so long. I think
the average impression here is that Stalin
(through Molotov) has really outdone himself
this time in stretching his professed willingness
to be offended at the slightest murmur. He has
reduced his pressures to absurdity.
The old Roosevelt crowd used' to consider
Stalin's sensitivity as an inferiority complex.
This theory held some weight until evidences
of the Russian superiority complex accumulated
in denial of it after the war. Personally I
think Stalin learned diplomacy from Hitler.
You will recall Hitler was alternately frighten
ing the world and being offended by it, and
his technique brought him many things he
wanted.
That game somehow has worn out. People
are familiar with it, particularly military people.
They are less inclined to fall into whatever pat
tern of action the dictators try to chase them.
Words and politics annoy them. They want to
know the facts and they want to act on the
facts. In view of this maintenance of realism,
what the state department and General Marshall
in his official note responding to the Russian
protest have said publicly about the incident,
is really only a part of what they actually
think.
I wish someone would call me "aggressive"
and "expanding" in my endeavors. I would
consider it a high compliment.
fits springing up in the city, they
are expected to be pretty good.
,
Tomorrow we celebrate George
Washington's birthday (which
didn't actually occur on this
date because of the change in
the Gregorian calendar while
Georgie was still a little boy).
Georgie was first in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts
of his countrymen (despite Ken
neth Roberts, John Jennings and
others). Unknown to many,
however, is that February 22
is also the birthday of the newest
personality on the radio horizon,
KFLW has him, and KFLW can
keep him! He's a good boy,
though, whatever we might say;
he can yawn through a morning
newscast better than anyone else
we know. And brother, we ain't
kidding.

CAMEL BONE
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) I note that the bone
of a camel has been found re
cently here in the valley and I
wonder how many have looked
at the vertebrae of a whale that
was dug up in the canal when it
was being excavated and I be
lieve may be seen on a shelf at
the Gui. store here on Maiu
street.
That there are many forms of
life both vegetable and animal
not only here but in all parts of
the world is evident but the
great age that is claimed for
these fossils, cannot be proved.
for what is claimed as evidence
is only guesswork that was
started by a mineralogist named
werner, a uerman, about iau
years ago.
Werner concluded tnat u wore
about so long for certain rocks
to form and concluded tnat tne
fossil formations would be found
the same all over the earth, and
so was born what is known as
the onion coat theory on which
the estimates of the age of fos
sils is based.
Werner never traveled far
from his native home and knew
nothing of geological formations
in other parts of the world and
in recent years his theory has
proved to be without foundation
for tne order of the formations
have often been found to be in
reverse of the order in which he
arranged them over thousands of
square miles of the earth's sur
face.
How many true scientists have
had to admit that they have no
proof for those vast geological
ages, but they hope that they
will find it some time, yet this
theory persists.
A new school of geology be
gan to be noticed as it started
about 40 years ago led by Prof.
George E. Price, now living in
Los Angeles.
Mr. Price and later many oth
ers wrote books and many maga
zine articles challenging the on
ion coat theory and they are
gaining every day.
The uarwm theory of man s
origin has been entirely repudi
ated by real scientists and the
onion coat theory is under heavy
fire and certain to go too.
mat there was a universal
flood of waters that changed the
whole surface of the earth about
4400 years ago can be proved by
plenty of evidence besides that
the Bible gives in written history
on Babylon, China, Greece,
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, and the
fact that it left an indelible im
pression on the mind of the hu
man family to such an extent
that it is handed down in the
folklore of nearly every race on
earth. Their stories vary in de
tail but agree on one point, that
is, that only eight were saved.
The Bible in the seventh chap
ter of Genesis tells us about the
destruction of the animal life on
the earth, and the chronology
tells us that that occurred 4196
years ago.
I challenge anyone to prove
that they have any fossils older
than that date.
We know that the greater part
of the earth is yet under water
and that the ocean depths are
greater than the height of our
highest mountains and are held
there by ocean currents.
You may be sure that that
camel bone is less than 4500
years old.

DEATH OF A PET
WOCUS, Ore. (To the Editor):
As I was working on my equip
ment beside our house near the
road, my little son and daughter
were playing beside the road
with their dog.
A car (Chev.) came along and
the dog ran up the road ahead
of the car. The dog gave one
yelp and the car went on up the
road. I watched to see where
the car went.
My little boy stood and saw
his little playmate killed. What
nice people.
The little boy ran up the road
and sat down and looked at the
little dog. When I got there he
turned and looked at me with
tears in his eyes and says,
"Daddy, Poochle won't get up.
I didn't know what to say.
so he could drive his wife and
he paid so much for the car
afford the trip!"
The little girl came along and
began to cry. They wanted to
take him to the doctor in hopes
to bring back the life, a slight
twist of the wheel of a cur
would save.
The man that was so generous
to swerve his car within six
inches of the ditch, kills the play
mate of two little children,
would feel very proud of him
self if he could have heard those
two little children wake up In
their sleep last night crying for
their Poochie. He certainly
would think he had done a grcut
deed. (What would Lincoln
think on his birthday?)
I am sure that man's children
would think him a great hero
if they knew.
If the man will come to me I
will thank him for the dirty trick
he did. His license number is
known. E. W. CLUFF.
TOO MUCH SPEED
DORRIS. Calif. (To the Editor)
I have decided to write a little
piece for your paper, hoping you
will publish it.
First 1 would like to say I have
lived in California over 25 yeurs
and think it the finest country I
have ever lived In. There is no
other place on earth where every
day and every night are just
right both winter and summer,
as in southern California, and I
have lived in a good many states
in this old U. S. A. Could ,ve
have the power to change the
weather ourselves, we would not
know what to do.
However I think California
has a few laws that should bo
changed. Not only changed but
done away with. First is on
every highway coming into Cali
fornia from every state in the
union, there are quarantine sta
tions (or so-called "Bug Houses")
where they keep a bunch of men
employed night and day to go
through every car, suitcase and
lunch box looking for fruit and
bugs. I often wonder why fruit
grown in Oregon, Arkansas,
Washington or any other state
isn't as pure as that which is
grown in California.
I think this is a rotten law, and
disgrace to California and should
be done away with. I am not tho
only one who thinks this way,
either. If you c.-juld talk to ten
different people about nine out
of the ten will sav I am right. If
the Higher "Jps will not do away
with laws like that, why not
leave it to a vote of the people
and see what will happen?
It costs the people millions of
dollars to keep up those places
and all for nothing, I say. Why
not use that money for putting
water on some of California's
rich land and make more homes
for people. In San Joaquin val
ley alone there are thousands of
acres of as rich land "as a crow
ever flew over." Nobody living
there. Because there it. no water.
Why not put water on this land
and then give each' family 40
acres. I ion't mean give it to
them but sell it to them at a good
price and give them time to pay
for it. In a few years they would
pay all this money back and
would have good homes left.
Another law I also think
should be abolished ir California
is the one where every lawyer,
doctor, dentist, school teacher or
barber who comes to California
from another state, has to take
a post graduate course of train
ing before they ca start up in
business here.
Tell me why people In other
states aren't as well trained and
educated as in California. And
why the Arkansas Barber's razor
doesn't cut just as smooth as the
California nzor docs.
I hate airplanes and think
them a curse to this country.
They are nothing but death
traps, from start to finish. Had it
not been for airplanes, and all
that goes with them I don't be
lieve we would ever have had
this late war. We all know old
Hitler would never have tried
to conquer the world with his
men alone.
They say they are building an
airplane now In San Diego which
will carry 400 people. That
means 400 people may be killed
at one time. It may not happen
for yean, but sooner or later it
surely will, to ny otlon.
I think automobiles are . fine
thing for the country if they are
run right, but they too, are kill
ing too many people. I believe
they should put governors on all
cars, so they could nc' run over
40 miles en hour gives you
time to stop before having a lad

Mother England finally hua
fixed a date (Juno, 1048) by
which she intuitls to have with
drawn from India after turning
over to a responsible native gov
ernment the uffuirs ot state
and you and I tiro witnessing tin
other epuchul evont of world
history.
Prime Minister Attlec's new
socialist government lins In a
manner of speuking removed the
greatest gem of the impurlul
crown and handed It buck to
India's four hundred millions
who have been under British
domination for two centuries.
Naturally '.ho king - emperor's
ministers hope that tho huge de
pendency will choose to remuln
within tne British omnun
wealth ot nations. But that's for
India herself to suy. She is being
offered complete independence.
Having said this one hastens
to note that tho transaction has
not yet been conpleted. It re
mulns for the warring Hindus
and Moslems of British India to
bury the hutchet and establish
that "responsible" government.
It also remains for the some 600
reigning princes and lesser po
tentates to conclude agreements
to facilitate England's withdraw
al. Perfect Setup Seen
From the standpoint of Indian
opportunity the set up would
seem to be as nearly perfect as
things come lu this life. How
ever, as Prime Minister Attlee
pointed out yesterday In the
house of commons, tho situation
is "fraught with danger" because
of the uncertainty between the
all-India congress party which
Is mainly Hindu and the Mos
lem league. Thus far they have
been unable to submerge their
quarrel sufficiently to cooperate
in the provislor.al government
which the viceroy, Field Marshal
Lord Wavell, has for months
been trying to get Into action.
Not only that, but the politico
religious differences have be
come so bitter that there has
been widespread bloodshed, cost
ing thousands of lives and great
property damage. We shouldn't
overloo'- the possibility that In
dia hasn't yet seen the end of
this sanguinary strife.
The provisional government
in New Delhi is the one pro
jected for British India. England
doesn't propose to force the
princes to come under rule of
any government in British India
when Britain withdraws. The
native states will revert to Inde
pendence and can choose their
own course, although it is hoped
that they will agree to join in
some sort of federation with
British India. As a matter of fact
the leading princes already have
promised cooperation.
However, th problem of
working out a federal govern
ment for all India is a mighty
one, since the princes are a
proud and Independent lot. In
this connection your columnist
Is particularly Interested In the
appointment of Admiral Lord
Mountbattpn as viccriy to suc
ceed Lord Wavell.
It strikes me Prime Minister
Attlee has made n shrewd choice
in picking Mountbottcn for the
job of viceroy. Lord Louis, with
his royal blood and fine record
of service in the war, may be
able to swing the princes Into
line where another might fall.
Anyway, this Is Mountbattcn's
big hour and obviously there
are hopes that he also Is the
man of the hour.
