Today's Roundup
' .. By MALCOLM EPLEY
AFTER long labor, the Oregon house assess
ment and taxation committee brought
forth the sales tax bill which was passed yester
day by a 38-22 vote.
But tltat was only the house.
Now the measure goes to the
senate, where it is due for a
working over by the parallel
senate committee. In spite of
the fact the legislature is al
ready working long past its
allotted time, this is the first
opportunity the senate com
mittee has had to work on the
tough sales tax issue, and a
lot of time and argumentative
heat will be used up in the
EPLEY senate before the measure as-
sumcs its final form.
It seems likely the senate committee will
make some drastic changes. As it was adopted
.by the house, the bill calls for a 3 per cent
sales tax, with exemption on food, and the
revenue to be split between the counties, cities
. and school districts, on one hand, and the
state on the other.
It may not look much like that when the
senate gets through with it. There is talk of
'. cutting the rate to 2 per cent, removing the
food exemption, and changing the distribution
' arrangement. Until the senate gets through
with it, we can only consider general principles,
without details, in discussing the advisability
of a sales tax for the state. We don't know
what kind of a bill, if any, is going to be
submitted.
If one needed oroof, however, of the strin
gency of the state's financial situation, it came
when Governor Earl Snell declared for a sales
tax. The governor himself admitted he was
reluctant to take the step, and before he came
to the point, made mention of the separate
powers of the legislative, executive and judicial
departments, indicating that he was not trying
to tell the legislature what to do. But he said
he would "support the legislature in the adop
tion of a sales tax as offering the best and
most logical means of meeting the situation."
When Governor Snell, thus reluctant, never
theless came through with a declaration for a
type of tax that has hitherto been unpopular
with Oregon voters, it is quite clear that the
state's financial condition is most critical.

A Good Job
MRS. ALTHA UROUHART. who will take
leave of absence from the office of public
welfare administrator beginning April 1. has
established a record of intelligent, efficient
work in a public office whose duties are differ
ent and difficult,
! Because of its state and federal financial
relationships, the welfare department labors
under a rather rigid set of regulations that are
handed down from above. It has been part of
Mrs. Urquhart's job to apply these regulations
with human understanding and sympathy to
the problems of those people who have looked
. to her department for assistance. This she has
done admirably, giving Klamath county's wel
fare program a sound but sympathetic adminis
tration. She is recognized as one of the most
able social workers in the Oregon welfare or
ganization. Mrs. Urquhart has asked for a six months'
leave. It is to be hoped that the welfare com
mission can induce her to stick to the implied
intention to return at the end of that period.
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 21 The American
news dispatches from the Moscow con
ference said'our delegation was "embarrassed"
and "the Americans shifted uneasily in their
seats" when Molotov pulled from the secret
files of the past, the Yalta agreement, promis
ing Russia half of $20,000,000,000 reparations
from Germany. There was no valid reason for
any reasonable person to be- embarrassed or
uneasy.
The truth is Russia has probably already
taken more than her allotted half more than
$10,000,000,000 of the dollar value at the time
of the Yalta agreement. You, who have read
these dispatches, know she took the paper off
the German walls, machinery which we had to
recapture to run the Berlin subway, every
thing she could lay her hands on. German ma
chinery is today strewn out all over Russian
railroad sidings. The incut Russians have mere
ly made it lose its -value by putting it to
little or no use, because it can be no more
valuable to anyone than the sum total of what
it produces. Of course no one outside Russia
knows the itemized list of it, items taken
secretly as they were, behind the iron curtain
of censorship. But certainly any baby knows
enough was taken to keep anyone from being
embarrassed about reparations, unless Russia
. wishes to be embarrassed and open East Ger
many to make some accounting.
The astonishing phase is our "uneasy" and
"embarrassed" delegation made no mention of
this matter, did not demand opening of East
Germany to find out how much has been taken
or make any accusations. (Our military has
some of the facts.)
Vagueness About Yalta
THE inside reason for this strange omission
of the plain facts of reparations looting to
date is possibly due to a quite' secret story,
current in our official quarters, as to the nature
of the Yalta conference. Mr. Roosevelt is sup
posed to have been somewhat ill. as was also
Mr. Churchill. It was once said Mr. Roosevelt
forgot to have a copy made of the Yalta agree
ments, and a government official .once told
me, the agreement at Yalta was recorded in
American files only by certain personal notes
of James Byrnes (then an unofficial adviser)
which he made for his own use and placed in
the safe at his home. Once Byrnes is supposed
to have been sent to his South Carolina resi
dence hurriedly by Mr. Roosevelt to find out
what Mr. Roosevelt did agree to at Yalta. The
American delegation at Moscow may have
known this inside story and felt some embarrass
ment about the entire subject for this reason.
General Marshall, at any rate, made an ade
quate legal and diplomatic answer to Molotov
by pointing out that Potsdam superceded and
nullified Yalta (this is plainly true). However
his was a sort of defensive answer, and if he
had raised the question of how much the
Russians have already looted out of Germany
he would have put them on the defensive.
Personally 1 would have raised that question
and required the Russians at least to come for
ward with public acknowledgement of what
they have done.
The Russians are getting away similarly
with many delusions on the American public
and this may further explain our embarrass
ment in Moscow. The key delusion behind all
this may be the fact that most of the American
people believe Russia has lifted one porthole in
the iron curtain to let the world see freely
without censorship of its own conference. In
a way it has. Yet the whole (unproclaimed)
truth is the American newsmen must use Rus
sian facilities to get out their news, Russian
telephones, telegraph instruments, radio all
manned by Russians. . The Russian government
which controls all these instruments knows in
stantly every word sent out by the conference
if not before. No words have been deleted the
last check I made (this week.) Indeed one re
porter asked Russians on the street for a story
of what they thought about the conference,
which seemed to be a slight transgression on
Russian generosity in letting the world know
what its representatives were doing in Russia.
But the overall truth of the matter is that in
Moscow a reporter might have ideas he would
regret" having had once he gets home.
Might Change Location . v
(HEARD a great leader once say he used to
go out to California annually and make great
decisions swiftly in the balmy air there. But
when he came back to New York and started
thinking his decisions over, he changed every
one of them back to his original idea. Travel
may broaden one too much and travel to
Moscow might even broaden a logical man into
embarrassment and uneasiness.
For this reason you may see a surprising
bit of news develop shortly. It is possible the
delegation may find it necessary to move the
conference to some other place, say, for in
stance Switzerland, where it is really beautiful
in the spring. It is possible this may be done
long before the allotted time of the conference.
Marshall is known to have intended to remain
six weeks at the start. (Senator Vandenberg
wanted to bet him he would be in Moscow
three months, but Marshall declined to take
republican money that easily, at that time fore
seeing the possibility the conference might
adjourn to some other place in three weeks.)
The delegates might be able to think with
less embarrassment, more ease and above all
with greater clarity in Switzerland or even in
a telephone booth at the South Pole.

By KELLY ROBERTS'
Spring is here at last. , It's
been looking like spring for the
last several days, but we didn't
particularly notice it until we
walked into a drug store yes
terday afternoon with our fa
vorite brunette. Sitting at a
booth we ordered a "double
thick, extra' scoop, chocolate
milk shake" (believe it or not).
The girl served us, then sweetly
asked, "You're high school stu
dents, aren't you?"- Flattered,
We nodded . our heads. "Then
you'll have to pay for your
shakes now.". Still in a daze
of youthfulness, we dropped our
four-bits into her palm. Ah,
it's wonderful having spring
with us again.
A kid from Portland popped
up as one of the junior speakers
on last night's Town Meeting
of the Air on a discussion of
whether marital relations should
be taught in the schools. In one
of the replies to a statement he
had made, it was brought out
that there were four divorces
for every three marriages in
Portland during 1945-46.
Of course one of the things
that may have contributed to
ou.' youthful appearance (besides
the clean life we lead) is the fact
that we'd just shaven. The prob
lem of how to keep our sparse
facial hirsuteness under control
has always beaten us. We keep
one razor at the office, shave
with it, then walk down the
street and hear someone make
remarks like, "Where'd vou go
after you shaved last?" and "Are
Dearas back in fashion? or may
be, "Hey, Kelly, the centennial

Br Dowirr msckenzie
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Moscow's official reaction to
President Truman's Greco-Turkish
proposals is said by authori
tative sources in the Russian cap
ital to be trending toward the
view that the U. S. A. is develop
ing an out-and-out anti-soviet
policy.
It would be unfortunate if
such an idea came to prevail in
Russia, because there s no foun
dation for iL To be sure, human
nature being what it is, Ameri
cans can develop violent antipa
thies if pushed about. But at this
writing the citizens of the United
States not only aren't anti-Soviet
but would prefer that relations
between the two countries be on
a friendly basis.
Having said this, however, it's
well to make it plain that we do
have some entries in our black
book. We arc, , as Washington
has made clear, thumbs down on
communist aggression which
wages a world revolution to de
stroy other forms of government
and bring their countries within
the Russian fold.
We don't object to communism
In Russia, or in any other coun
try that really wants it. We do
object to it being thrust down
the throats of helpless nations
which have no use for it.
And we not only don t want it
in America, but we won't have it!
As previously remarked, the
four heads arc better than one.
Plugging it in we started, it was
the first electric razor we'd ever
used (didn't even have to push
pull, click-click) and in just a
little less than 30 minutes we
were through. No blades to
change, no lather needed, no
whiskers left, almost no razor
left, they're going to get a re
placement from the factory.
SDeakine of school kids, spring
vacation is on in several schools
and will be in full swing next
week. Several parties are plan
ned and one of the bigger events
will be the second showing here
of Karl Smykil's new outfit.
Their last engagement sounded
like some of the best local work
we've heard done in a long time.
It's set for next Wednesday eve
ning and Chuck Cecil is planning
to air a half-hour portion over
his "Stardust Melodies."
The 10-round welterweight
bout between Tippcy Larkin and
Billy Graham will be aired on
tonight's Cavalcade of Sports al
7 o'clock. Larkiii was beaten by
Charlie Fusari in his last bout.
but that isn't expected to have
any effect on this match and
fans are expecting a bang-up bat
tle between the two ring-wise
boys from the east. ,
...
Add picturesque scenes: The
Thursday night grapplers, after
mauling, gouging, biting and gen
erally committing mayhem on
each other, peacefully sitting in
a local bistro slopping suds.
American people and the other
western democracies would
like to live in amity with Russia.
We recognize, of course, that
there is no possibility of com
munism and western democracy
mixing within the borders of the
sume country. The two doctrines
are at loggerheads. Our way of
life and totalitarian dictatorship
have nothing in common. They
arc deadly poison to each other.
Vain Hop
Despite this we have clung to
the hope that it might be possible
for communism and democracy
to live side by side, in neighbor
ing states, without warfare live
and let live. Maybe that idea was
over-optimistic in the first place.
Anyway, thus far it hasn't
worked, and the reason has been
the communist aggression which
has kept reaching here, there and
everywhere to communizc other
countries.
Things might look different it
communism operated under
peaceful methods. But commu
nism applies the bolshevist theo
ries of direct action which call
for the overthrow of govern
ments, not by the ballot, but by
force. The Encyclopedia Britan
nica epitomizes the thltig like
this:
"Communism Is peculiar in
that, basing itself on the utter
ances of Marx and Engels, it
holds that this cd is only attain
able by means of a revolution.
Revolution is not rejected, by
socialism; but modern commu
nism regards revolution as neces
sary (italics) and a period of the
dictatorship of the prolctaria
based on open terror as the only
means of creating the socialist
economic and social system."
At this moment the United
States and Britain are protesting
against alleged Soviet interfer
ence and the use of strong arm
methods in Hungary s internal
affairs. The Polish elections in
January under auspices of the
communist dominated provi
sional government were con
demned by Washington and
London. There have been nu
merous other instances.
Rubber Industry
Sees Strike Hope
AKRON, O., March 21 lP)
Union and company officials of
the "big four" producers of the
nation's rubber hinted strongly
today that there was still a fair
chance of averting a strike set
for Sunday midnight.
Leaders of the CIO-United
Rubber Works disclosed that
they hadn't given up on the idea
of a peaceful settlement of the
wage controversy by scheduling
a meeting in Cleveland tomor- j
row. j
And L. M. Buckingham, attor-1
ncy representing the four giant
rubber producers, said at the :
same time: "I am hopeful that
the union and the companies will
settle this."
URGES PARK PLAN
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, (To
the Editor) I urn writing this
in the interest of city park,
that we of the suburban com
munity adjacent to South Sixth
street arc hoping to develop.
We cannot give tip the Idea of
n park in this fust growing com
munity. We have lit this subur
ban area approximately 3000
children, all good kids to mo.
At present there is no play
ground out this way but wo
could have one if wc cnuld get
a piece of ground now owned
by Klmnnlh county,
There are five nerea In this
niece of laud, located between
Wiiird and Mope streels, level
as a floor and In the center of an
addition that some day will be
a city of several thousand people.
I understand the county school
board has a promise from the
county court that the land will
be held for one year if the school
board wishes to buy .It for an
other school. It will be a shame
if the school board or the court
holds it for that time and then
it Is nut used.
Wc can have trees, shrubs and
flowers started this year, all
donated if wc can use them this
spring. Children's play ground
equipment Including swings,
merry-go-round and scottcra will
be built free of charge by good
mechanics living out our way.
We can do these things. This
park can't be built over night
but wo can start it. There Is
room on the grounds for a dandy
ball park, tennis courts, swim
ming pool, etc. Where can you
find a more suitable place In
Klamath Falls.
There must be some way this
ground can be set aside for a
park, providing the school board
does not decide to build on it.
Wo can't build roads, schools or
anything that would do more
good for so many people.
Friends have you a heart?
Where Is 117 You mothers have
your clubs and card parties, why
not organize a park club? .
Maybe there wouldn't be so
many juvenile delinquents) if we
had more playgrounds for chil
dren. It seems to me there are
more juvenile delinquents here
than in many other places.
Why? Maybe if wc can got this
park we won't have so many
children on the streets.
What would you do if you
were so lonesome you didn't
know what to do? That Is what
one little boy said one" tiny as
the tears came Into his eyes.
His mother was working. May
be we can help these children
by building up something for
them.
I hope someone interested In
helping us get the ground for
this park this year will answer
this.
Yours very trulv,

Times Claims
Huge Red Growth
NEW YORK. March 21 At
The New York Times said today
that "an authentic report" re
ceived in Washington staled that
communist bands In Greece had
a strength of 13,000 and sought
to "cut Greece in half."
The source of the report was
not given.
The Times' story, written from
Washington by James Restnn,
said the immediate military ob
jective of the armed bands was
to establish a corridor from the
Albanian border cast to the
Mount Olympus area on the
Aegean sea. In such an event,
Greek Macedonia would be sand
wiched between the corridor and
Aegean to the south, with Yugo

From where I sit ... y Joe Marsh
Do Men Like Women?
Maybe yoa read that reeent or
tlrle la a national raagaslne, claim
ing that American men don't really
like the eempsny ef women. They
lost pat them up on pedestal nd
leave them there.
Bat I wouldn't say that that was
so in our town. Look at any mar
ried couple like the Cuppers.
Jane wouldn't nag If Dee spont his
evenings "with the boys" but
actually Doe likes nothing better
than to stay home by the fire,
sharing a glass ef beer with Jane,
playing eribbage, or juot talking.
And when he deee e eat, rer
an afternoon ef lahing dowa at
Reward') Creek, er fee aa evening
glasa ef beer at Andy Ikvtkin't
Garden Tavern, Jane Is almost al
ways with him (except when she's
tot a spot of baking in the even).
From where I ait, reepect
doesn't rule eut everyday com
panion, hip , , , and never should.
They go together essential parts
ef a successful marriage.
