There un doubtedly will be ample local demonstration of that fact in the next few days. Our Mr. Scarbrough, who sat through the tournament at Eugene, took off immediately for Alabama on vacation, after writing his yarn on the final game. But our Mr. Addison, whose business is advertising, knows something about basket ball, and he was there through out the tournament, We quote sidelights: "One thing that pleased the crowd was that the big city favorites, who have largely domi nated the tournament through the years, were dumped by the underdogs the little fellows. The hero teams of the tournament actually were Lebanon and Newberg. two small-school aggre gations which actually extended Klamath to the limit in their march toward the finals. These little teams were made up generally of small men without reserves, who came through and played inspired basketball. "When Klamath started the championship game Saturday night, it was obviously "off edge." It should be remembered that the Peli cans had been through three tough games games in which there was not a moment when the pressure was off. There wasn't a 'breather in those three games that preceded the title play for the Pelicans. "As a result, a very smooth-working, hard driving Marshfield team got the jump on them. But in the critical test, the Pelicans really showed they had the fire, the competitive spirit, and the fundamental ability when they made that last half comeback that kept the game in doubt until the final gun. "Marshfield is a worthy champion. The Coos Bay outfit probably displayed better team work and over-all coordination than any team in the tournament. It was a team without outstanding stars, all big men, and all able ball-players. Klamath need not feel humiliated in losing to such a team by a mere two points. "Klamath's LeRoy Coleman was more or less of 'marked man' at the tournament. The rail birds definitely expected him to be all-state for his work in leading the team in a great showing. Jerry Thorn, Klamath center who made all-state second team, really covered himself with glory in the first two games of the tournament, and was a tower of strength all the way through. Lloyd Buettgenbach, the Hood River center who broke the individual scoring record, was fortun ate in having a tired Newberg opposition in the final game had he been opposed by Jerry orn, I think it would have been a different Thorn showed up as a more finished, all 4 player than Buettgenbach, although the iver center deserved honors because the iver tam was entirely built around him: Hfsinsky, the other Klamath man who 2i state honors, played a consistently fine -e throughout the tournament '"Klamath's entire personnel, including the shock-troop second string, was certainly on a par with the best the tournament had to offer." News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 17 An astonishing divergence of opinion developed in the Lilienthal-Clapp case. One senate committee voted 8 to 1 for Lilienthal to head us into the the atomic era, while another voted 7 to 5 against his personnel-man Clapp in precisely the same case. The republicans dominating the public lands committee turned down Gordon Clapp to be TVA head on the ground that the Lilienthal-Clapp administration of TVA was' friendly to communists, while the republican controlled atomic energy committee approved Lilienthal for the greater Job on precisely the same evidence. This is strange even for inexplicable Wash ington. From the public lands committee stand point, you would be forced to conclude the re publicans did not mind a man friendly to com munists handling the whole world of coming atomic phenomena, but did not want a commie friend as head of the relatively infinitesimal TVA, which hardly develops enough power energy to fill one atomic pill. Stranger still is the other side of the matter, the atomic energy committee slant. Openly they rejected the evidence brought in by Senator Mo Kcllar to show Lilienthal allowed communists to rest in gleeful peace on the government pay roll, in his TVA. Republican Chairman Hicken loopcr announced flatly the committee had heard "no evidence to support charges that Lilienthal was a communist or friendly to com munism," (quotes are from an AP dispatch). 1 You would have to be born yesterday to be lieve this. Many government departments in the Roosevelt era were known refuges of com munists, including the office of war informa tion, the state department, and 1 believe TVA. No sin was attached to such friendliness. In deed, Russian appeasement was a professed pol icy of the Roosevelt administration, and it was the commies who came out first for Mr. Roose velt for the fourth term as 1 recall. Certainly the communist-dominated, third parties in New York were then tied up with Tammany, and they were all very pleasantly mixed in to gether. Now any man may have his own opinion as to how grievous the sin of this fraternization was, but no man in sound reason can say it was not so especially a republican. What Is It? GuiLT or not, the Lilienthal debate has left a genuine non-partisan question concerning Uie man selected by Mr. Truman to prepare the transition ot our entire civilization into what is supposed to become the greatest age ever known to man. The question is: What is he? Certain good democrats, who know many things, tell me Lilienthal is probably a socialist at heart. He led the greatest governmental ex periment in state development and ownership, I presume not unsympatheticaHy, but he said on the stand he has no party affiliation (so did Clapp likewise proclaim his independence.) I think, it was Lilienthal s own statement which won the committee, a strong statement in de fense of individual freedom and Individual Ini tiative. In his new job he will have super-presidential powers or super-congressional authority to develop and distribute atomic energy. He could help, hurt or compete with private busi ness or he could be really independent. Now the Truman senatorial technicians have sidestepped this serious angle in the congres sional cloakrooms by saying (I do not think this has been published) that if the atom develops, as many scientists fear, into an overall power, congress no doubt will recapture it from Lilien thal. Anyway, they say, he will serve only as long as Truman is president. Thus they deny the more serious implications of the appoint ment and have tried to make the opposition out to be a one-man affair of Senator McKellar. Frankfurter Man WHY Truman appointed him can apparently be answered this way: Lilienthal was originally a Frankfurter man. People in the democratic know have repeatedly denied to me he is a Baruch man, or that the retired American atomic leader in UNO had anything to do with the appointment. They say Lilienthal is still a Frankfurter man, although other Frankfurter men have not been popular around the White House lately. Truman picked him ostensibly because he had the reputation of a good administrator during the latter days of TVA (the early ones were not so strongly in his favor before congress partly cleaned un TVA I Hp was the nnlv official who had experience in a development of an incip- iently socialist character like atomic energy. It was a little out of character for Truman to choose a Roosevelt man for this spot, but more out of character for the atomic energy committee of the senate (sans Bricker) to render such a verdict. Lilienthal may make a good administrator. The unions are behind him. So are the Roosevelt people, although they are dis tinctly in the minority. He may get much busi ness support. Many business men in Knoxville were eager to testify for him, and I. am told even the monopolistic Aluminum Company of America is on intimate friendly terms. It may all work out well if Lilienthal proves to be what he says he is now, but if I were a senator, I would certainly keep an eye indef initely on the advent of the new age of man.

STATIC By KELLY ROBERTS Cycle Crash Injures Two Two Medford brothers were hospitalized as the result of in juries suffered at 12:30 p. m. Sunday on Hayden mountain of the Greensprings highway, when their Klamath-bound mo torcycle failed to make a curve and crashed into a guard rail. David Todd, 21, 403 W. Jack son, and his younger brother, Phil, 16, 603 N. Fir, Medford, were moved from the scene by ambulance and admitted to Klamath Valley hospital at 3 p. m. The two are sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Todd, valley res idents. Phil was -leased Sunday night after treatment, but David, more seriously injured, remained at Klamath Valley for X-ray and medical care. He has a bad cut on the chin, abra sions and is suffering from shock. No other vehicle was in volved, it was learned. Three out of four American farms grow corn. Horticulturist To Talk At Merrill Ralp' Clark, extension horti culturist, will meet with the Lost River Garden club at the Merrill High school at 7:30 p. m. on March 26 and with the Klamath Falls Garden club at the city library on March 27 at 7:30 p. m. to discuss landscap ing. These meetings should be of particular interest to home owners and should provide some excellent information, it was pointed out by County Agent C. A. Henderson. Saturday afternoon yours truly decided to take off for the lutr city of Eugene and the state bas ketball tournament with one Wesley Guderian. The Herald and News lensman and speed king. The trip was quite un eventful until we hit the first bump in the roud. We were never entirely on the ground after that until we landed in Eu gene. This was the first daylight trip that we'd taken over the Willamette pass and we were happy to find that there was ac tually a lake at Odell lake. We'd never seen it before. The streets of Eugene were crowded with cars and people. Our first move was to try and find Hale Scarbrough. the H-N sports editor. A tour of the town's hotels failed to produce him. Ernie Piluso, we noticed, has built a big new restaurant catty-corner rom the Eugene hotel and is doing a landoffice business. There are lots of other new drive-ins and sandwich shops opened up around the town, mostly the result of a tre mendous increase in university enrollment. The first Klamathites to be seen were City Councilman Paul O. Landry and daughters in the lobby of the Osborne hotel. Cars were crowded around McArthur. court and Bell field for blocks, just by chance we happened to latch onto a park ing space only two blocks from the court. Taking Wes' camera we entered the luilding and asked for the press box. no one seemed to be sure where it was located. Eventually we found Clarence Humble, our local D. A., standing in the hallway with a "dead from the heat" expres sion on his .'ace. He told us where we could find Hale. Entering the first doorway we spied a large object which proved to be KFLW's sport caster, Don Neal. About half the bench was taken up with men and microphones. The mikes were all generously fur nished by KUGN. Among the radio crowd was Jack Coldn from Portland and Ted Smith from KWRC. Pendleton. We were surprised to see Ted as Pendleton didn't have any entry in the tournament, but he told us that they were broadcasting seven games from the series. KWRC. incidentally, was our first station, long ago, and Ted was our first co-worker. Hale was finally located at the other end of the press bench between some guy from the As toria Budget and a gal from Cor vallis. Nearby was another old bistro-buddy. Bill Hulen of The Oregonian and formerly of Med ford. Hood River and Newberg were busy playing when we ar rived but soon finished and the Pels romped on the floor right away. The best show was the sweep er' crew which wet-mopped the floor at the half and end of each game. A guy whom we took to be the head janitor and I four fellows from tho university ! lined up in echelon and per j formed a perfect scries of nut- ncuvers on the floor, pushing ineir mops uvlorc lliem. Further up In the scats be hind Us we spied Harry and Mrs. Molatore, and "Red" Biissmnn a short distance from them. We'll ski, the game, you enn read about it un tho sports page. i i reacting our v ay tnrough j lon"-faced and sad Klninnthi j we found the car iind went to the hotel, picked up Scar brough's bugs, grabbed a bite to cat and pulled out of that "vale of sorrows." We were silent the first half of the trip until Hole solemnly began chanting "Twas brilig and the slithy loves . . ." This was followed by a rousing four square hymn. We ended in Klamath Falls about 5:13 Sunday morning. Yours truly headed for bed. Hale finished up his story, grab bed a slight nap, hopped up early, packed and headed for the airport to take, a plane for Alabama. He'll be gone the next month. The World Today By DtWITT MacKENZIE AP foreign Aiialrs Analyst Thus fur Rtixsin's public re action to America's new policy for halting aggressive commu nism hasn't been us explosivo us many expected, Hnd while there still Is plenty of time for tho lid to blow off. It Isn't a foregone conclusion tltut it will. There Is no time for luinty predictions, hut one of tho pos sibilities certainly is that the Muscovites having blasted Un cle Sam with hot words muy retire to their castle, rniso the drawbridge behind them and leuve the next move to him. Let's examine the situation from the standpoint of such a tactical move and see what it would mean. Big Achltvament First off, It's a fair assump tion that Moscow already has achieved fur more In tho way of cnimuimizutlon and extension of domination in Europe and Asia than it hud expected to accom plish by this time, as noted in this column last week, even be fore the second world war broke out European observers credited Stalin with expecting thnt the second conflict was coming and that It would produce a wide spread chaos in which the Soviet Union would bo able to spread communism. However, while your columnls doesn't profess to be a mind reader, it's hard tu believe that the generalissimo anticipated so much success with so little opposition. Of course much of the new communist empire in eastern Eu rope was created while the wur still was on. Country after coun try came under Moscow's con trol us the red army advanced. While this wns a matter of con cern for the western allies they offered no troublesome opposi tion. Those were the day when America and Britain carefully uvoldcd words or incidents which might Inlure Big Three relations and so hurt the wur effort. RKAI.D MM, KLaiilk rIU, Ori. .

It wis In 1871 that a Sir hnrlcs Duffy was elected 'rime Minister of the Austral ian State of Victoria. Good Queen Vic learned, to her amazement that this was the same Charlie Duffy sentenced to Australia a generation be fore. And she demanded the case history of the other eight men who had been sentenced with him. And this Is what she learned: Meagher was Governor of Montana. McManus and Dona hue were Brigadier Generals in the U. S. Army. O'Gormun wns Governor General of Newfound land. Morrie Lyene and Mike Ireland had both been attorneys general of Australia. McGee was President of the Council for the Dominion of Canada. Jack Mitchell well, he hadn't done so badly cither. His son became Mayor of New York. Who was it said you can't keep a good man down?
