we have today a pleasing little
story from Yang P'Ai Yuan

The other day, Mary received a letter from
Yane It had been written in English for the
Chinese man by Alfred D. Hointnger, a mis
sionary and a long time friend of Rev. Godfrey
MaUhews of Klarnath Falls. Yang Wd JW
how welcome the shirt was in his trying cir
cumstances, and told her of his 15-year-old son.
who used to go to school but since the coming
of hard times has given up his education and is
working as a shoemaker's apprentice.
We have hoped that the experience of the
Benson coat, which turned up in possession of a
Tennessee woman who paid $4.95 for it would
prove to be an exception, and Yang s etter
to Mary Hooker indicates that it probably is.
There will be more relief clothing drives. In
Salem the other day. we heard an appeal to
Salemites to contribute to such a cause. A
nomDlete investigation of the facts in the Ben-
son coal case, una sum 'v"- - , ------
Mary Hooker gives us today, will be needed to
give Klamath people confidence in the worthi
ness of future drives.
Court Incident
COURTROOM observers say that District At
torney Clarence Humble made an outstand
ing presentation of the state's successful argu
ments this week on a defense motion to quash
the indictment of Policeman Vern Wagner.
. The arguments were made before Circuit
Judge Combs of Lakeview. Under the circum
itances of the motion, the Klamath district at
torney statements were made in behalf of
Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg of Klamath
county, the defense having charged that Judge
Vandenberg had used undue influence and
coercion upon the grand Jury in bringing about
the indictment of Wagner.
Due to somewhat strained feeling in evidence
at times between the circuit judge and the dis
trict attorney's office, this presented an inter
esting situation, and it is to the credit of the
district attorney that he did a good jot.. Let us
go further and say that we hope the incident
heralds a period of Improved relations between
the offices of the circuit judge and the district
T v. A.uM.tc
attorney. . .: . .

In his objective report, he mentioned unfavor
able aspects of the Oregon city, along with its
glories.
We read the Neuberger piece and thought it
good. He was commissioned by the Post to
give the real story as he found it not to put
out a chamber of commerce brochure. Portland
fared well in hii account, which proved to be
highly readable and convincing because it did
not hesitate to mention the bad along with the
good. -

By
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
FORMER British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill declares gloomily that the feud
ing Moslems and Hindus of India are preparing
for civil war when England withdraws her
troops not later than June, 1948. In accordance
with the recent promise of the socialist govern
ment. Churchill made this assertion In the house of
commons during debate in which he and his
conservative followers attacked the program.
The past-master of colorful language termed
the withdrawal "operation scuttle," and then
produced this word picture with sweeping
strokes:
"It is with deep grief that I have watched
the clattering down of the British Empire
with all its glories and all the service It has
rendered mankind."
Attlee Backed
THE big socialist majority, however, stood
behind Prime Minister Attlee's pledge. Sir
Stafford Cripps, who has played an important
role in the Indian negotiations, told commons
that the only alternative to withdrawal would
be to strengthen British controls and reinforce
British troops. That would mean England
would have to remain In India at least 15 to
20 years, he said. And Attlee gave this corol
lary: "The time has come when Indians must
shoulder their responsibilities. We can help
them, but we cannot take" this burden our
selves." The danger of civil war in India will always
exist until the warring Moslems and Hindus
bury the politico-religious hatchet. As a matter
of fact the past few months have seen thousands
slain and much property damage in communal
fighting. Even as this is written, there is
turmoil In the great Punjab province of north
ern India.
It's true that British troops have quelled
many bloody outbursts In India. But supposing
the situation as a whole should boil over, what
have we? The Indian peninsula is about the
size of all Europe, excluding Russia. Within
that vast area are some 400,000.000 people.
What sort of British force would it require to
handle a full-scale civil war there? Certainly
more than John Bull could muster, especially
in view of his grave economic difficulties and
commitments elsewhere.
Fireworks
MOST of the fireworks are in so-called
British India, which is distinct from the
native states ruled by the princes. If either
the Hindus or the Moslems of British India
wanted John Bull to stay in the country, the
situation would be far more favorable for him.
Probably most if not all the princes would
like him to retain control not because they
love him but because they are fearful of losing
their thrones after he withdraws. 1 However, in
' British India both Hindus and Moslems want
John to clear out. ' -
An overlord doesn't inspire affection in a
subject people.
The consensus of impartial observers is that
the. time has come for England to withdraw.
No one can say that there won't be civil war if
she clears out, but it's a hundred to one there
will be if she doesn't.

Frearic Alarcn a:id Horence
t-ldnoge, (Mrs. March in real
lue), as the hiuband and wife
in fa. N. Benrman's comedy. "No
Time for Comedy," Sunday eve
ning. If you tbink that that's
contusing, jiist wait until you
near tne play.- March is Uaylord
asterbrook, a witty playwright
wno gets tne sudden urge to
write a serious play. His wife,
who is being wooed by another
man, guesses correctly that
there is another woman in her
husband's abrupt about face.
From this eternal quadrangle,
the story moves to a logical sur
prise ending.
...
There is a sign on the bulletin
board at the county courthouse
which reads "Internal Revenue
Collector Not Here. See Below."
It's surprising how many per
sons reading the sign immediate
ly go to the basement and de
mand to see the collector who is
supposed to be "Below." Of
course, lots of people think that
all internal revenue collectors
should be 'way below. The "Be
low" on the bulletin poster, how
ever, refers to a mimeograph
6heet of paper just under the
poster wmcn explains why the
collector is "Not Here." .
...
The "Greatest Story Ever
Told" uses the parable of the
second Mile as its tneme lor
Sunday afternoon. The play is
Dased on tne ancient Koman law
which stated that any soldier of
Home could force a citizen of a
conquered land to carry his
shield for him a distance of one
mile, but no more. The story il
lustrates that often humility is a
greater power than force.

chines and David has to catch
them as they are practically
ruining the poor owners of the

maKing the slugs are suckers to

smilh of the equator Willi the
"turnings of crabs and horned
goats? Well the connection Is
not earthly.
The sun's seeming dully west,
wurd path across the sky In
December is low In the south;
and in June, much further north.
This solar track on Ihe longest
day of the year actually l 47
degrees further north (twice 23 1)
thun on the shortest (lay. As the
earth with Its tilled pole revolves
around the sun, wo detect the
motion In the sun's apparent slid
ing eastward a little ouch day
along the background of stars.
We cannot of course see the stars
near Ihe sun, hut It Is known
exactly where they are.
The ancient peoples numed the
various stur-groips for uniinuls
and heroes. Thu 12 groups (con
stellations), among which the sun
seemed to move In lh course of
u year, formed a bund entirely
around the sky known as the
xudliic, or circle of animals. At
the tlmo of tho astronomer Hip.'
purchus (uround 125 B.C.), the
sun on the longest duy. being
2:1 1 degrees north of the celestial
equator, wus among the stars of
Cancer, the Crub. This meant
that ut noon on that day the
sun would bo directly overhvttK j
ut all places 231 degrees north
of tho earth's equator. Accord
ingly, Hits parallel took the name
tropic of Cancer. This Indicated
that the sun, thou in tha cuu
stelluliou of Cancer, wus "turn
ing,'' and from that duy until
Ihe shortest duy would bu going
further south. In the same way,
on the shortest duy it wus "turn
ing" north In the constellation of
Cuprlcornus. 23 1 degrees south
of the celestial equator, so stood
at noon in the zenith along all
points on tho parallel of latitude
23 1 degrees south of the terres
trial equutor.
At no pluce on the earth Is
the sun overhead ut noun at any
time of Ihe year excepting In
the "tropics," the band extending
23 1 degrees on both sides of the
equulur. Within this bund It is
in the zenith twice a year: first
going north, then going south.
Due to the movement of the
solstices 30 degrees westward
during the past 2150 years, the
sun is no longer among the stars
of Cancer und Cuprlcornus on
June 22 and December 22. On
these days it Is iiow In Gemini
and Sagittarius, so to bo correct
the tropics should be renamed
for theso constellations. How
ever, the old names persist,
