' . . 1 Tli Imnllratlon of that Yowling always was that If the republicans were In power, the press would heap undeserved blessings on them. Now, with Uie republicans In control of congress, the OOP big shots hold a luncheon to consider why they are getting a "bad" press. What's the answer? The truth Is that the independent press-' not the organization and ideology 4 EPLEY house organs the Independent press Is inevitably considered an "enemy" by those in governmental power. That is because It Is objective and critical. People In power don't like critical analysis. People engaged In controversy and national politics Is con tinuous controversy want a press that does only one thing takes their side of the argument and sticks irith it through thick and thin, right or wrong. The press may at times seem too cynical, too fominst" everything. But by and large, if it is in dependent in Its viewpoint, it performs valuable service. If it can get both sides to calling it names. It Is doing all right Guest Editorial By GODFREY MATTHEWS LAST night (Thursday) I was one of a small com pany of people privileged to witness the dress rehearsal of Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town," acted by members of the senior class of KUHS and directed by Genevieve Oppen. The public perform ances are scheduled to be produced on Wednesday and Thursday nights next in the KUHS auditorium. Because of what I saw and heard I want every adult person In the Klamath basin to know that this production will certainly go down In the history of this area, as one of the mos remarkable artistic triumphs ever known. This sounds like exaggerated praise. The simple fact Is that the seniors have been encouraged to produce one of the greatest, if not the greatest, American play yet written. "Our Town is a superb piece of dramatic writting and it makes tremendous demands of everybody working in It.. To the challenge of these demands the young actors have given everything that Is in them; they are completely saturated in the meaning and significance UAL Official Speaks Here A thousand passengers a month now are being -served by United Air Lines at Klamath Falls, and I air mall, express and freight usage ' im fnin rr nn It. was talH fiv nnrffP Hatch.

Acheson's statement was made before businessmen and farmers under auspices of the Delta Council at Cleveland, Miss., Thursday without fanfare, and yet within a matter of hours It was producing interna tional repercussions some favorable and others hostile. Among points made by Uie under secretary were these: America "must push ahead with the reconstruction of those two great workshops of Europe and Asia Germany and Japan upon which the ultimate re covery of Uie two continents so largely depends." She must take as large a volume of Imports as possible to narrow the financial gap between what Uie world needs and what it can pay. She must undertake further emergency financing of foreign purchases, and her emergency aid must be con , centra ted In areas where It will be most effective in building political and economic stability and pro moting democracy. e Proposal Welcomed A BRITISH foreign office spokesman said his country welcomed Uie proposal that the United States increase imports to bolster interna tional trade. He figured Acheson's analysis of global economic problems was "far-sighted and wise." The London Times was more cautious and expressed the view that Uie under secretary's proposal that re construction of Germany and Japan should be pushed ahead was a controversial one. And sure enough Uie Times was right, for the Paris communist newspaper LHumanlte came out with a blast which expressed the hope that next year's V-E Day celebration "would not see a Germany transformed into a factory that is Europe's arsenal." The paper also declared: "We did not fight this war to alienate the Inde pendence of most of Uie European naUons by foster ing Uie economic expansionism of Uie United States. More and more Americans, and not only Henry Wal lace, view such a policy not only as dangerous but even as an absurd one." Yesterday the Moscow magazine New Times also dealt editorially with Uie politico-economic situation, though apparently not in answer to Acheson. In the course of a long article the New Times said: "The mongers of a new war, as Henry Wallace put it, keep the kettle of hostility towards Uie Soviet Union at Uie boiling point. The imperiallsUc circles of Uie Anglo-Saxon countries are building big ger plans for their expansion, plans for economic and political enslavement of foreign peoples."
