Ora.. on Auuit 20. 190S. under act of coajrau, March t. 1879 1 Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EP1.FV LAST night's sale tax forum l Fremont audi torium, sponsored by the Klamath Oregon Edu cation association unit, was especially interesting be cause ot the responsiveness of the audience. While It was not large. of about 150 Y, ,..; played a genuine curiosity and f il interest In the Important issue V . discussed, and the "auestlou and answer period" was xnore sprtghl ly than is customary for such features. With the vote on the Oretton Iv v,Ci ' is ample time for a thorough dis f cussion of the question, and open- V . mindedness Is probably advisable st this period. There are. of I course, confirmed believers in the L ii in 1 ia aasi sales tax principle, and confirmed EPLEY opponents to it, who will not be swayed by any of the discussion that is now getting under way. But most persons -will want to learn more about the specific measure proposed, and will withhold Judgment for a while. There were two situations in the discussion last night that struck us as particularly Interesting. Lamar Townsend. speaking on the negative side, commented that he believed there is need for still more government services, but upon answering an audience question, said he would not suggest how they should be financed. He said that the sales tax should not be used because it shifts the burden from those better able to pay to those less Able to pay. The other was a comment from Phil Hitchcock, speaking on the affirmative, who declared that he dislikes not Just the sales tax. but also the property tax. the Income tax. luxury taxes, and all levies. Dislike lor taxes, he indicated, must be tempered by sober consideration of what methods must be used for fair and equitable financing of essential govern ment services. It seems to us that it Is the Job of thoughtful citizens either to oppose extension of government activities that cost money, or to express ourselves as to the way we want those activities financed. We aren't acting responsibly when we demand serv ice, on the one hand, and demand tax reduction, on the other. Briefs From The Pocket File NO name has been officially given the technical school at the Marine Barracks plant, but city planning commissioners have their own idea . . .

Man-caused fires In the Klamath Forest Protective area- last year were 143 per cent of the 10-year average, which doesn't speak well for people in a community that does a lot of worrying about Its timber supply ... A major highway construction Job in this area that hasn't received much publicity is the new road connecting the Tulelake area with US 97 near Dorris . . . This route is of vital Impor tance In the whole scheme of traffic carrier develop ment in the basin, and will give south-end people a short cut to points west and south that has been badly needed for a long time. TRANSPORTATION NEWS U.r'ii'.-'.'.T - - - - - .............. .... . Southern Pacific employes heard of the death of Jerome W. Day last Wednesday in Dunsmuir with ' regret.

ABC 11:00 Night Nowo Summary 11:05 Sign Off 11:13 11:36 11:16 KFLW Feature Feature By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April J3 The peculiar thing about the big steel agreement for another round of wage Increases, 16 cents an hour this time, is that neither side considered the primarily Important public point of Interest. The Initial announcements at least said nothing about a price Increase, but rather ominously avoided the subject. Certain senators noticed this. A new wrinkle seems to have developed In management-union agreements which was not considered In the pend ing labor legislation. The possibility Is now being foreseen that management could make agreements with unions which would break the national eco nomic policy of the government. No adequate pro vision had beeu made for this. The house and senate labor committees had been absorbed In promoting equal rights and opportunity for both sides in their dealing but forgot Uie third side. Most of the committeemen with whom I talked had assumed management would naturally protect the public against too high wages and the unions would naturally protect the public against too low wages. They did not foresee the possibilities which arose first in the electrical workers settlement with General Motors (neither side mentioned price in creases there either) that management might mere ly pass along Increased costs to the public Cost To The Public US. STEEL PRESIDENT F AIRLESS says his agreement will Increase the labor costs to his company by S7S.000.000 a year. The CIO union says the cost will be 42.000.000. Say they are both grind ing their axes as usual, the average of their esti mates would be an Increase of S58.000.000. This is only the beginning of the cost to the public The electric-OM settlement was supposed to furnish a pattern for the auto Industry. The big steel agree ment is supposed to furnish the pattern for the nation. The ultimate cost to the public of the settle ment therefore could be billions. The strategy of big steel, I am told by certain insiders, is that the settlement is apt to be suffi ciently unpopular to push the pending union reform legislation through congress. As a matter of fact, however, the legislation Is well on its way to final enactment within a few weeks by majorities which assure its success over an expected presidential veto. Of the union strategy In the settlement, I am not the chief Ingredient in the manu facture of automobiles. If the steel price goes up and the union labor costs of the auto go up to upon the price of automobiles could be tremendous. Last year the workers in both Industries got an 18 ' cents an hour increase and the price of cars went up I believe about "5 each, according to announcements, although the price in been more. At any rate the pattern settlement last year caused a general national In crease of prices the very condition upon which the unions are getting this new price increase. Illimitable WHAT cost wage increases? The answer is: Il limitable. Mr. Truman said last week if prices Increased again, further wage Increases would be Justified. Well., if these settlements result in another price increase, then the unions can follow Mr. Truman and demand another wage increase. Each step is another zooming push upward in an inflationary spiral, which diminishes all values toward the de struction point. These developments may not prove as unhappy as their nature suggests. They may lead the republi cans to strengthen their bill in time. Indeed Mr. Truman could well Join any mora to establish firmly the present economic line until full production re stores the forces of competitive enterprise. They could both Join in stopping any further price In creases or wage Increases until those forces become operative. These pattern agreements have already been made, true enough. But cqngress could easily provide that any such step taken In the public Interest, be made retroactive, say to the day of the last election. Fire District Petitions Candidates for board positions in the south suburban fire district will have to file their signed petitions with the county court by this Sat urday in order to have their names on the ballot for the May 6 elec tion. Those who have filed so far are L. Aha Lewis. Leon E. Judd, Claude H. Williams. William Metier. George Williams, Richard Griffith, Cecil Prather, C. R. Bird and Frank Steele. Five directors will be elected to the board' with the candidate re ceiving the greatest number of votes serving for five years, and the rest accordingly, serving 4. 3, 2 and 1 year. The polls at 5512 S. 6th will be open from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. May 6. The election was held st ne time ago, but due to a legal technical ity must be re-held. The original balloting was held too close to the time of the hearing on the fire district, since the law p.ovides that 30 days must elapse between the two.

After all the talking the Break fast Clubbers did about broadcast ing from a New York ferry-boat, the program didn't come off, some sort of technical difficulties.

Volcanic ash Is not actually an ash as It has not been burned but In appearance It does look like ash. It Is composed of small pieces of lava, glassy under the microscope, about the size of shot or small peas, that have been shot out of a crater by the expulsive (orce of pent up gas and steam and scattered over the surrounding region, often form ing thick beds. If the size is smaller, to dustlike, it Is called volcanic dust.

Obsidian or volcanic glass, which Is also found on or near the surface, is lava mat cooiea too quicxiy to allow the formation of crystals or grains, though, according to recent investigations, more important than rapid cooling Is probably the high viscosity of the lava whlr-h prevented the formation of crystals.

Dill linn far fia hasn't explained publicly what lie figures will happen If thesa two Balkan slates aren't given as sistance to safeguard themselves ugalnsl communist uuKrenslon. To a good many peuplo the posi tion npiHireutly presents a picture oi nunc rru armies rolling out oi the north agonist Greece and Tur key. The fact that Marshall la credited with being the greatest military expert of our time may tend to encourage Uils martial Uiought. However, Uie Immediate threat doesn't strike me as presenting any such contingency. In Path of Danger Those two countries are In the path of the communist advance all light und are In danger, but there taut Uio slightest sign that lUissui ulnns to Intervene mllttanlv. To do ,so would be to precipitate ullnllief wnrlil u'ur anil tlinl'a llin last thing which Moscow wants at this time. That's true for several reasons but one Is euuugh the So viet Union Is too exhausted from the late war to embark on another now. Where then lies the danger to Greece and Turkey? Well. Its an old suylng, but neverUielesa true. that Uirrcs more than one wav to skin a cat. Communism works In two ways by direct action and by Indirection. It's largely the latter method whirl Is being used against the two Balkan states, especially In the more vulnerable Greece. Communism Is boring from with in In Greece, trying to create a rebellion which will overthrow the monarchy ami permit establishment ot a Soviet republic. The Greek goverivitettl chart"! that rebellion is being fostered and aided by neighboring Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia, all satellites of Moscow. The United Nations security coun cil has a commission on the north ern frontiers of Greece watching this explmive situation. nlralegic liasiton The aid which America proposes to give Athens Is to enable the Oreek government (o defend Itself against this aggressive communi.Mii. And where does Turkey come Into the picture? The answer Is one which this column has given before: Oreece Is Uie strategic bastion that guards Uie Turkish flank. Including that all - Important Dardanelles strait. If Greece should fall, then Turkey would be trebly vulnerable. Now of course such a situation might produce a war, that is. a conflict among Uie Balkan states. However, one would expect Russia to keep her little satellites suffl clenUy In leash to prevent the pres ent maneuvers from causing anoth er war. And surelv If a Balkan conflict ' should break- out. Moscow would do everything possible to avoid becom : lug militarily Involved, because that would again set all Uie mills of the ! war gods to grinding for another global upheaval, i ' No Quarter So. to repeat. American aid would I be' calculated to equip Greece and Turkey so that they could stand off communism by themselves, without 1 active help from outside. That will now to gain tnis position. The point which Washington ha made In urging the aid to Oreece and Turkey I Uiat the security of the western world would be en dangered at some distant date If these strategic countries came un der the domination of Russia.
