Today s Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
PAUL MALLON'S column yesterday on the question
of why Uie republicans are getting a "bad
ress"' was especially amusing to those who re
nember Uie ranUngs of New Dealers who always
contended Uiat the New ueai
couldn't get decent treatment
""""Ow, from the "kept" press.
' . . 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

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

The World Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
UNDER SECRETARY OP STATE DEAN ACHE
SON'S forthright speech on America's obligations
In assisting world recovery provides us with an ex
cellent Illustration of just how sensitive this chaotic
old world of ours Is to authoritative comment on
economic and political affairs.
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."

Mother's Day
Br EAKL WHITI.OCK
She' widow, but sh s not d-
tltut. though she has to budget hr
lr.com very carefully. Lot of folk
minx sne ougnt
to let someone else
mother her chil
dren while . sh
goes out to earn
mor money. Hut
her children valu
her companion
hip more than
the things Uie
money could buy
and they have
learned things
about lh value of
money. They
know how murh
It takes to pay the Earl Whlllock
rent and the null- , ' ,
ties and to buy the food.
Other kids have more tlutn they,
but they don't seem lo mind iMtcause
their mother has taken the time to
fach thorn how Intoroxting com
mon tilings can be. The house thni'a
being built the factory making ma
chines. Uie beauty of the woods In
the lush springtime and the dry
leaved fragrant autumn, the gran
deur of the hills and the calmness
of the lake.
A real mother, this woman! And
she hss attained supreme success
In motherhood, I think, by teaching
two growing youngsters to take life
as It Is, to live It and to enjoy every
mlnuto-of It. Not to exiiect too much
and not to be satisfied with too
little.
And the nice thing about her Is
that she has set a standard uf moth
erhood well within the reach of
every other woman to attain.
This day we honor the mothers of
the nation. This day, too, many of
America's mothers might well dedi
cate themselves to being belter
mothers.
"Memory Garden Is for your
pleasure."
Next week Mr. Whltlock of the
Earl Whltlock Funeral Home will
comment on "In Praise Of The
Loafer."
