"FRANK JUNKINi Editor MALCOLM EPI.IY Manastn Editor Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY KLAMATH FALLS is back In the metropolitan press headline with a crime story, but local people should not feel resentment about It. Tne inciaeni nere mvuives transient escapees from San Quentin; It would not have de veloped into a coastwide news story without the courage and alertness of law enforcement officers here. There is noth. ing In the story to discredit this community. " Incidentally, tnere lias Deen n3 I a run of sensational crime stories in Oregon recently, in stories appearing in the metro politan press under the date- EPLEY lines of other cities. ' At Vale, there was the Broadhurst murder story: at Ore gon City, a woman was tried for killing her school principal husband; at Eugene, a woman was tried for killing her mill operator husband; at Medford, a killing occurred in connection with a residential district poker game. Klamath Falls may once have had the dubious distinction, but it no longer is the upstate crime capital of Oregon. Good Work A GOOD word is in order for the Klamath Falls policemen who displayed alertness and courage in spotting and battling two San Quentin escapees after the hold-up of a South Sixth street service station Monday night. Officers Bart Smith and Sam Malsbery acted in line with the best traditions of law enforce ment in the critical situation which arose. There was neither timidity nor hesitancy on their part; they took the risk in stride and they did a good job. There is an inclination locally to criticize the police at the slightest provocation. There should be a willingness to commend the officers pub licly on an occasion such as this. We are glad to speak up here with a word of praise for a lob well done. Camp White Veto GOVERNOR EARL SNELLS veto of the Camp White hospital bill was expected1. The governor, as a member of the board of control, had participated in the selection of a 14-man committee to make a study of the pro posal. When this committee recommended against use of the former military installation for a state mental hospital, the governor was placed in a position where he felt he could not approve the proposal. Subsequent adoption of the Camp White bill by the legislature put him definitely on the spot He based his veto on the report of the in vestigating committee, plus a constitutional question raised, by legal opinion that a vote of the people is required to set up a new institu tion outside Marion county. The situation puts the governor, in an un pleasant position, and we .suspect- he, would not be too disappointed it the legislature should pass the bill over his veto. An effort along that line is to be made. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON , WASHINGTON, April 2 The New York Herald Tribune, press citadel of the re publican party (Stassen branch) has published a full page advertisement of the communist party, USA (March 31.) Just a few days before, the state department had discovered sabotage of its program to Russia. An antennae in the Munich relay station had been reversed so that news, views and songs of this government program our propa ganda if you wish to call it that was wasted on Latin American ears which could not translate it. The sly communists no doubt considered it ironically funny to direct our Russian program to a hemisphere the communists consider fascistic. The contrast of these two events are contrasts of two civilizations now vying for control of the world. A simpler, clearer example of the crisis of our age cannot be - imagined. The mildest, friendly propaganda of the United States govern ment to the Russian people was denied pene tration of the red iron curtain, while the far more valuable space of a full page in our lead ing metropolitan press was given communists. And these U.S. communists had been called that very week the dangerous fifth column of this nation by the head of our bureau of federal in vestigation, J. Edgar Hoover. This is an exhibi tion of our weakness in both tactics and intel ligence such as has caused the philosophers to predict communism will certainly defeat us in the end (Santayana for one.) Innocuous THE U.S. government radio program dealt ac curately with current news, conditions, beauties and accomplishments within the United States and our songs, thus being more of a normal promotional than a political revolution ary nature. As propaganda goes. It was almost innocuous. But the advertisement of the com munist party was a statement by the party secretary which he said was denied presentation to the house un-American activities committee because the secretary would not even tell his right name. The statement contained the usual inane and timeworn iratings of the communists, including attacks on J. Edgar Hoover, a defense of Marxism and other material headed: "What the house un-American committee did not hear," meaning of course the material was not sound enough to get into the record of a committee of congress which will take nearly anything. It was sheer communist propaganda, with strict ly political Intent. - The Herald Tribune did not need the money for the ad, even on a Monday morning. It's republican favorite, ex-Gov. Harold Stassen is now traveling in Moscow investigating things. Presumably it may have desired simultaneously to exhibit the great freedom of attitude toward Russian propaganda. Possibly also it may have been impressed by two boxes at the bottom of the ad. One reading: "Wire protest to President Truman, Representative Rankin and your own congressman" and the other saying: "Commu nist party. USA, I am enclosing $ as my contribution toward the cost of this advertise ment," etc. Divide And Conquer THE intention of communism is to divide and conquer a civilization more powerful than its own. If U.S. communists can get a republican citadel to display its wares, and carry its attack upon democrats, their party would be imprudent not to venture such attack (especially if it can get the money back in contributions from the unwary republican readers of the Herald Trib une.) This is classic communist irony. Com patible with and comparative to the sabotage of the Munich relay station. The incidents are in every way similar in purpose, the only dif ference being that in one case the communists bad to sabotage a government radio to gain its will, while in the other it sought to collect money from republicans to attack the head of the very same government and the republicans let them do it! The lesson to be drawn from the experience is one for the republican press leadership, specifically the Herald Tribune element. It would not allow a false patent medicine to obtain one of its full pages for advertising. Yet it weakly and rather stupidly grants its page to a false patent medicine of politics, a much more serious blunder because that political medicine is designed even to destroy an entire world civilization. SIDE GLANCES STATIC Br KELLY ROBERTS ' The Deep River Boys ended their stay in town with a fare well party and impromptu jam ession at Lakeshore inn Monday night (sounds like the start of the society page, doesn't it?) The boys popped up with probably the mellowest group of tunes we've heard in a long time, in cluding a brand new one by Torf Anderson, Tower theatre manager, called "I Need an In- apiration" which the boys are planning to cut for RCA Victor on their return to New York. In between time the inn bounced with Don Morman on his vibra harp. The best thing in a deal like that is the total ease with which the group puts the song or number across. All the tension of a regular performance is gone, this is just fun. A good musician is like the proverbial postman, who spends his day off going for walk. Starting tonight at Lakeshore will be the "Three Chips" who have been providing the back ground on the latest Woody Her man platters. The trio consists of a bass, guitar and piano, with vocal specialties by all three. We'd like here to pass a palm to Lou Taylor who is bringing into the basin some of the best performers seen here in a long tune. According to Lou, he is investigating bringing Lena Horn, Joaquin Geray and other big namers soon. The "Three Chips," by the way, will be heard over KFJI this evening at 9:30. A big give-away contest is be ing featured on "Stardust Melo dies." All you do is write your name on a slip of paper and sign the book at Harwin's, then you stand a chance of winning one of two Barette radio-phono com binations, two table model radios, or two record carrying cases. Anyway, it doesn't cost anything to enter. Speaking of the escaped con vict, we can think of no greater frustration than to be running from the police in a stolen car, stop at a filling station to steal some gas from the pump, pump your tank full and then find that it was a gas pump which was pumping only pure water. That's rwhat happened to Paine at Fort Klamath. Tonight is Bingsday and Mor gansday again, so keep your kiddies home tonight and set them beside the radio. Don't forget, Paine isn't caught yet. Applegate Trail Brochure Planned PORTLAND, April 2 OP) The first of a series of brochures on American pioneer trails, "The Applegate Trail," has been re leased by the Oregon council of the American Pioneer Trails as sociation. The 28-page booklet was writ ten by Walter Meacham, executive-secretary of the association. It has an introduction by Gov ernor Snell. Others inthe his toric series will include the Bar low trail, the Oregon trail and the Lost Wagon train. The first voting machines were invented in England more than 50 years ago.

Lajra The World Today Br Do) WITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The Greeks again have heard the fateful words which have gone echoing down through the centuries: "The king is dead: long live the king:" and should their new ruler have a modicum of understanding and guts (if one may be permitted this very un-regal expression) he may give his liberty-loving people the leadership they need to escape totalitarian communism. The late King George was a colorless individual who lacked leadership lacked guts. His whole vicissitudinous life was marked by this deficiency. What the new king. Paul, will pro duce remains to be seen but. as this column remarked yesterday, he scarcely can be less efficient than his brother. This is, of course, a particular ly critical moment for the Athens government. It might inspire the red elements to re double their efforts to ' over throw the government, though paradoxically the saving grace in this instance could lie in the very weakness of the late king. He provided little guidance or personality to be missed by peo ple or government. However, it's equally possible that the anti communists may find a way of strengthening their position as the result of the wholly unex pected death of King George. No Change Seen Thus far there has been no In dication that the position .of Greece, as one of the key bas tions of democracy against ag gressive communism, has been changed. President Truman's Firoposal for help to this fiery ittle Balkan state still etands. and congress continues its study of the proposition. The Greek government shows no signs of weakening in the face of the red offensive. Simultaneously with this sen sational development, another throne came under the spot-light that of Spain and it's a pe culiar coincidence that this country, like Greece, is so stra tegically situated that both com munism and western democracy would give much to see it un der their respective isms and within their respective zones of influence. Political Effect For what happens in Spain will have a mighty effect on the political trend in France where the communistic electoral vote has been running neck and neck with that of the opposition and consequently upon the whole of western Europe. It's- significant that world at tention has been drawn to the Spanish crown by none less than Generalissimo Franco himself. He has asked his parliament to declare that Spain still is a mon archy and to designate the pro cedure for selecting the next ruler. Thus the dictator would seem to be paving the way for the return sooner or later of one of the royal princes to as sume the crown which was aban doned by Alfonso XIII when the republic was established in 1931. it strikes me as possible that the generalissimo finally haa hit upon some method whereby he can withdraw without lowering his head too much. However, that's speculation based on the belief that he was ready to re tire a year ago. Certainly Spain won't profit in the long run by his continuance as dictator with almost the whole world against him. Senate Okays Sales Tax SALEM, April 2 (Pi The sen ate assessment and taxation com mittee accepted the 3 per cent sales tax in almost the same form as when it was passed by the house, but it differed sharply over when the special election on the measure should be held. The committee voted to hold the election next November 4, while the house had voted for next June 24. If the senate accepts its com mittee's election recommendation as expected, the difference over the election date would have to be ironed out in a senate-house conference committee. The election date is contained in a separate bill. InJIlm Paine May Be Headed For Idaho (Continued from Page One) Tucddny, law enforcement forces continued their search of back roads and main highways over largo section of tho Fort Klam ath and Seven Mile country, mid aided by stale police from Bend and Eugene, combed the area between Fort Klumtith and those points. Tho road block ended about 4 p. m. Tuesday, Stule Police Sergeuut Earl Tlchenor suid this morning that during the road block, with spe cific information tlmt I'alno wax driving a 1937 Chevrolet, that was the car officers looked for. This car, titolcn from Ward Her ron on Oregon avenue, was switched for a gray-green Pon tiac sedan at Fort Klamath, moved from Harold Winter's garage around 2:30 a. m. Tues day. Officers were told by Mrs. Ballou of Fort Klamath that a man now believed to be Pulnc was in front of her homo for a considerable time around 2 o'clock, striking mutches and checking the cur. Tho Ba lion home is Just north of the fort. Investigation proved that Paine had pumped "gas" from the Winter station but obtained wa ter Instead from a faulty pump and the motor conked out.

The mess in Greece gives their yelling a certain measure of seeming reasonableness. e o a , "yHE only excuse for such a venture, which is fraught with danger on all sides, would be grim conviction on the part of our government that we must stop Russia now, before she gets too big to handle, or we will be destroyed.
