Today's Roundup ,' By MALCOLM EPLEY Cv SS action In Washington yesterday, giving . Western Air Une permission to fly from San i r.-vtoco to Seattle, apparently does nothing for Klamath, western originally ap plied for Klamath as an inter mediate stop on such flights, but in the re-opened case, the inter mediate stops were not consid ered, with the exception of Port land. Klamath got on the main line when United Air Lines wa awarded the service stop here under the first consideration of the West Coast case. What is of primary Interest to us now Is good feeder line service to the points in our region such EPLEY as Lakeview, Alturas, Susanvtlle End Medford. That's the service that can be pro Tided under an application to the CAB filed by Southwest Airways, a comparatively new feeder line system that Is doing a good Job in serving many western points. Lakeview was not included in the recent CAB application to operate a feeder line service from Medford to Reno via Klamath Falls. Alturas and Susanvtlle. Lakeview is anxious to get on the pro posed line, and we think that any such service set-up should most certainly include our neighbor on the east. Prom what we know of the progressiveness and alr-mlndedness of our neighbor on the east, we .believe It would originate a lot of business for a good airline service. It Is to be hoped that Southwest Airways expands its application to Include Lakeview, and the CAB acta favorably on the whole proposal. Regular air service between the communities of this region would be mutually beneficial, and It Is something which may well be established as a definite civic objective, e e e e Reclamation Figures KLAMATH'S reclamation program is not seriously threatened, regardless of what the senate does with the house-passed interior department bill. Along with a speech given by Senator Wayne Morse, the Congressional Record shows the recla mation financial set-up as affected by the house action. Here are the Klamath project figures: Total cost ..- $14,135,000 Balance of total to complete ....... Budget to congress for btenntum . Amount passed by house Balance on hand Total available ' Amount to restore . 7,168370 . 2.000.000 . 1300.000 . 947.410 . 2.747.410 . 200.000 It will be seen from this that the Klamath project fared well in the house bill, so far as general funds are concerned. - There is still feeling of concern here over con tinuance of the land and water survey being con ducted by the reclamation bureau in this basin. This Is a matter of major importance here, and regardless of congressional action, we need to show our Interest in continuance of this survey. News Behind The News By PAUL MAIXON OUR TOWN, USA., May 20 A woman in an Ohio suburb writes the women of her com munity have been getting away from old style meetings of clubs, which pass mournful resolutions about the atom bomb, Russia, UNO and other things they hear free lecturers talk about, and have turned toward getting things done in their cwn com munity, things they really know about and cm do something about. They are getting behind a bond Issue for a new school, went to the state legislature to Increase teachers' minimum pay, got after de linquent taxes to raise soma money, secured a new leader for the Boy Scouts and started a Ctrl Scout troop all of which la Just beginning to Improve their living. They have their usual run of bicker ings and petty Jealousies, she says, but concludes from her experience Uiis far: "Maybe this Is the way to world peace." We are doing the same thing in Our Town and others nearby. We have found the women get more things done than Uie men. Lately they have riled themselves Justly about the way building Is going. Their experience should be valuable Information to people all over the country who realise this nation Is largely a collection of small communities which can considerably work out their own road to post war progress. Indeed, they have turned over a situa tion in another locality which has somewhat sensa tional national Implications. " e e e e Project A SYNDICATE of small builders and .real estate people who do not have much money are trying to put over a 116,000.000 multiple housing project on land which has some aspects of the famous Florida lot at high tide. It is partly marsh, partly flooded and must be expensively filled before the buildings can find a foundation. If any. Now there are many good, solid building projects In our district, which the people are behind. Some needed apartment houses are to be put up, and there is wholesale veterans housing around, which, at least, might make money. Cost of materials these days, however, runs the rent and sales prices up out of sight. We hear of a hotel in a city not too far away where an addition Is costing S15.000 per room per room, mind you. Dealers are charging our veterans $3000 more on a $15,000 house than anyone will appraise It for. Inflationary prices are bound to come down as soon u we get production, so most people are waiting. But the peculiar circumstance about tills multiple bouse project is this: the syndicate went to an in surance company which presumably promised the money. The insurance company enjoys from the government in these matters, a complete assurance that It will gain" any profits and cannot suffer a loss on its 80 per cent advance. The loan Is to be Insured by FHA at 80 per cent 80 per cent, mind you. So If the builders and real estate dealers lose their 10 per cent original cost, say $1,500,000. they can make far more than that by doing the building, furnishing the materials and handling the lands. They can take the loss of their 10 per cent advance and make money out of uneconomic building. The Insurance company can shift the whole project on default to the government. Thus everyone makes money except the FHA. which becomes a renter by gaining the property at 90 per cent of Its vastly Inflated cost, and rents for whatever a losing project would bring. In short, these 90 per cent government loans which guarantee Insurance companies all profit and no losses, are opening up uneconomic building. This one is so poorly managed they want to build another shopping center where we already have too many a few blocks further, and a movie theatre whereas we have built several new ones in the area In the last year or so. ease Worried ' THE nearby merchants are discouraged because they fear FHA might finance competition with another shopping center. The theatre owners do not like it. The real estate people see that FHA would get the project in the end and Jeopardize rent bases by making FHA the landlord. The women are going before the zoning commission with their case. They stopped one such multiple housing scheme, at least temporarily. I asked a good businessman what he thought of the project He said: "A first class hick from the backwoods wouid not fall for a proposition like that: yet the federal government is expected to fall for It in the name of veterans housing, Although I understand FHA is getting tougher than it used to be and I would not think It would take such a risk." Apparently all building Is not as laudatory as Its name would imply in the Interest of "veterans" who are being gouged in the purchase of homes which would not make a good domicile for a flock of mosquitoes. My guess is the women will stop this thing Just as they stopped the other one. But they will have to remain continuously alert In order to keep our community up to what it now Is, against people who think they can get rich fast under the FHA 90 per cent loan insurance even on bad projects.

Out of London cornea two lleim ot news which, II taken In )uxlnHl lion, demand a pause tor serious consideration: 1. lntoimcil Hilltsli souivrs Kay England Is prepurlng la hand over In the United Hlnlea the responsibil ity for defense of the Mediterranean and (he Middle East, Including the Sura canal.

And It may be one that will cause consternation in America." As already Indicated, luken at face mine and studied together, these two stories don t look so good. One gets a picture of Uncle Sam holding the sack. Of course we lung have known that Britain uaa abandoning Its chief Mediterranean drfrnsea and was establishing Its mnln base III East Africa. We have known, too, that the United States was to assume defensive responsibilities in the eastern Mediterranean. However, It's news to the general American public that the U. 8. Is expected to take over the entire deleitse of the grral Medltrrrnneinl which Britain dominated (or so many decades with her mighty navy. Still. If that's the arrangement which Washington and London think best, there wouldn't be so much enue for concern If it weren't (or that second Item of news about the possibility of Britain casting her lot with Russta lu a big deal which mav "cause consternation in Amer ica " Naturally It remains to be seen whether Mr. Uevlu will carry out such a transaction and thereby pur chase a place lu the red camp. One ran only say at this Juncture lhat It would be most extraordinary If our ally thus should play both ends against the middle. For this reason I think we must decline to accept such a thing as a Jikellliood, pend ing developments. I.ltllr Truat Unhappily there are people In England who don't trust America.
