S. highway No. 97 from Klamath Falls to Weed and return. It's a trip that is familiar to virtually every resident of the Klamath basin, but we are impelled, by what we saw and the line of thought it stimulated, to write a bit about It here today. We used to call it the Weed Klamath Falls highway. When we came here many years ago, tt was made up of alternate stretches of lightly oiled and vauaUH m n A tnmp n f it i ' ' I winding over Deer mountain. laapcsJ We got on the road, in those EPLEY days, by driving out South Sixth street, and then over the old Midland road by the G. N. roundhouse; the straight shot across the Klamath river bridge by the golf course hadn't been constructed at that time. It wasn't yet much of a road then, but its completion was one of the prime community objectives, for we all realized how vital it was to have this link between The Dalles-California highway and the Pacific highway. Already, in spite of its semi-primitive condition in those days. It was carrying a lot of traffic tliat de manded something be done. With the excellent cooperation of the Cali fornia and Oregon highway departments, the road was brought to its present state. The cut off to Midland from the junction on Green springs highway was built, and later Cougar cutoff eliminated the Deer mountain grades and curves. It is not yet the highway it should be. but we know men who claim they have driven the road from Weed to Klamath Falls, about 70 miles, in about 70 minutes. It became a part of U. S. highway No. 97, a major traffic carrier between all northwest points and California. Completion of the Willamette highway connec tion into the Willamette valley enhanced its importance: forthcoming construction of Warm Springs cutoff right into Portland area proper will add still more to its significance in the Coast highway picture. Scenic Beauty BUT It ti more than just a carrier of fast traf fic. It has unique and impressive scenic beauty. Driving down in the late afternoon with Mr. Ager and Mr. Wiese two gentlemen who are not above admitting inspiration from the mourn tains, desert and countryside we were struck with the magnificence of the' views afforded on the westbound trip. There's that long drive across the drained bed of old Lower Klamath lake, the rugged moun tains on the horizon for some reason always re minding us of Indian war and struggling wagon trains. There' a run through Butte valley, which some day may blossom into a veritable garden under the benificence of expanding ir rigation. Then a smooth, easy jump over Cougar pass, through a fine pine forest, and down across Grass Lake, that used to be Klamath's rail head. Beyond that, of course, come the best views of the journey's scenic masterpiece. Mt. Shasta, shouldering the sky, stands out in front of you in sharp focus for most of the trip into Weed, and it dominates the landscape if you go down U. S. 99. Shasta is terrific. It is worth watching for hours. Living near it, if you are one who raises his eyes beyond the window sill or the tops of the buildings across the way. it comes to mean something in your life. Hardboiled business men who Live down there have ad mitted as much to us. Shasta lies ahead or to your left on the final stretch into Wed. But off to the right is a striking view across a rugged basin, carpeted by junipers, ringed by now snowy mountains, studded by lava rock buttes in odd shapes. To the west is a rampart of more high mountains. The west-bound trip on the road from Klam ath to Weed is an outstanding scenic experience. It Deserves Recognition BECAUSE of all it has to offer, as a vital con necting link, as a carrier of through traf fic, as a road of real scenic worth, US No. 97 from Klamath to Weed deserves a place high in the consideration of California and Oregon highway builders as they plot their extensive post-war highway improvement program. We understand that some work is recommend ed for it in the so-called Collier highway con struction outline in California, notably an 11 mile stretch south and west from Dorris. Good as it is as compared with those days we were talking about earlier in this space, it needs and deserves a great deal of improvement to do the job it ought to do. And it needs to be given a better break by those who, officially and unofficially, direct the attention of motorists to fast, logical highway routes. We have a feeling that California high way officialdom, in particular, has been in clined in recent years to underestimate or ig nore its importance. California outdid Oregon for a while in pushing construction on this route. We hope Californians take a new look at this important interstate connection. Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON. March 14 Why some re publican leaders are reaching for the whip is not difficult to ascertain. You can guess this one accurately from the scoreboard, which to date shows no runs, no hits, and in numerable errors. Their congressional leadership Is in danger of nullification, and 'this of course means nulli fication of democracy. The matter is no less important than that. The Trumanites (unions?) who look at the situation gleefully as a chance to ruin the election prestige of their adversaries need new glasses. The republicans who think they can gain political prestige by appealing to class groups arc no less blind. - The only development which could save this democracy is for the republicans to get the chance for leadership which the people gave them in the last election. Otherwise there will be no leadership, only nullifying conflict at the helm. Mr. Truman did not have to call off his vacation for a crisis in Greece. He has one here at home which would warrant attention. If you do not believe me, look at the scoreboard on the gross Washington leadership to date: It Takes Time THE closing of the senate hearings normally would bring a report and bill on union reform within a week or ten days. Then will come along senate debate which reporters sus pect cannot be concluded for three or more weeks. The house committee was late getting started for some reason, but has a plan to get its bill out there ahead of the senate. Also the debate there will be shorter. But after action is taken by the house, the two bills will go to conference (because both bills will not be exactly alike) and the final form will be wrangled out. Ultimately dispatched to the White House thereafter, the legislation faces prospect of veto and" it may then return to both houses to pass over a veto, Anyone who figures all this can be done within two months normally is taking liberty with reasonableness. It is more likely to re quire three or more. The final form, as nearly everyone has guessed by now (although you read it first here last December and repeatedly since then.) is likely to follow the Case bill with some modi fications, or what will be called the Ball-Taft Smith bill this time. It will be practically the same as Mr. Truman voted last year before elec tion, establishing government arbitration boards. Those in charge of congressional affairs judge much of the debate will center around the pro posals to abolish the closed shop and the re strictions upon industry-wide bargaining both amendments of Minnesota's Senator Ball. One or both might be passed by one house, but the chances of either passing both houses are slim. So while some republican leaders are claim ing the job they are doing in congress is un- precedentedly tremendous, they can hardly escape the conclusion that: ' all the current trouble and more com ing, the result is apt to be just what was passed last session in a democratic congress and failed then by veto. SIDE GLANCES Iff J I cox, iw iv at mvtct. inc. t. m. esq fti sat, orr. " i "At this desk every scrap of paper is placed neatly In the wastebasket I could learn to love the kind of man who its heral" Scoreboard I OOK at the scoreboard again. They have L pushed up. near to final enactment and then stopped the bill limiting the presidency to two terms (a matter which could wait until 1950 at least before it could have any practical effect); also they have pushed abolition of the portal-to-portal backpay increases (incidentally labor did not object strenuously), and the pro posed cuts in the budget. On the budget they have spent considerable time and patience on the theory that they should pare expenses before adopting a tax reduction. This latter step naturally has had the effect of postponing tax reduction which many re publicans consider to be the swiftly needed key to economic advancement of the country, equal in importance almost to labor legislation. This proposed tax stimulation to economic ac tivity has now run into the Truman promotion of more loans and relief to Europe. The ques tion of loans has weakened some republican backing for a 20 per cent cut and caused some congressmen privately to talk about 15 or 10 per cent or maybe even less. Now I am informed with the utmost re liability, the Truman administration has not contemplated getting anything from abroad in return for the loans. Indeed high democrats tell me they cannot get anything in return for the money for instance any guarantees from Greece or Italy or the other nations which would promote our struggle to maintain our ideals in those nations against the growth of communist and Russian interests, or any com mitments. Apparently the administration policy has had the preliminary effect of blocking the planned republican tax reduction without get ting anything in return from abroad I know of, in the way of secret or public promises. This would seem to make American taxpayers suffer not only a loss in proposed tax reduc tions, but apparently continued loss of their interests abroad in the nations where com munism has been active politically in the minor ity. Otherwise, as Senate Republican Floor Lead er White said in a speech inserted in the record not long ago, the republicans have been snowed in heavily with routine work. The trouble is you cannot put snow on the scoreboard.

Wednesday's historic develop ment naturally is a matter of grave concern, but it scarcely can cause surprise to those who have been watching closely over a long period. It's the big show down which was inevitable, and the most remarkable thing about it is that it didn't come sooner. The events leading to this de nouement are the result of a studied, cut-and-dried policy laid down in Moscow nearly a quar ter of a century ago, and they form one of the most amazing chapters of world history. They read like melodramatic fiction. The story starts with the bol shevist revolution of 1917 which overthrew the czar and estab lished the Soviet government.

Att.mpUd Revolts As soon as the bolshevists got their feet under them in Russia their staff for world revolution the Comintern, or third inter national got into action, and there were revolts and attempt ed revolts in many countries. Europe won't soon forget the i horrors of the rebellion led by i Bela Kun in Hungary in 1919 when over 1000 people were slain. The bolshevists even tried 1 to start a revolution in staid and conservative England. World revolution was the pet scheme of Trotsky, but when I Lenin died in 1925 and Stalin came to power the latter decreed ; that this should be shelved while Russia was strengthened by crea-1 tion of industries and a great army.

He was given credit for recognizing that such a war would create chaos throughout the continent, and that the dls tressed populations would pro vide fertile soil for the spread of communism. Then would be the time for the world - revolution staff to get busy. Well, in '39 Hitler and Stalin made the non - aggression pact which was followed immediately by the war. Chaos hit Europe on the double-quick. And It's' in teresting to recall that on its heels we find Soviet Statesman Molotov, then both premier and foreign minister, saying in a speech that Britain and "France had declared "something In the nature of an ideological war on Germany," and adding: "There Is absolutely no justi fication for a war of this kind . . . everybody should under stand that ideology cannot be destroyed by force ... It is there fore not only senseless but crimi nal to wage such a war as a war for 'the destruction of Hitlerism camouflaged as a fight for demo cracy.'

Hitler became suspicious of Russia and at tacked her, with a resulting up heaval which created far great er disorganization than anyone had dreamed of.
