PERHAPS there 1 too much emphasis placed to
local minds on the Importance of a name for
the new state school at the Marine Barracks plant,
but we agree with Manager Charles Stark of the
chamber to his proposal that the state board of
mt ., Ain;,.,"w education re-conwucr uu c
wr.
The board chose the name,
"Oregon Vocational School." It
Is a name that lacks Imagination
and falls to Indicate the full scope
of the work to be offered on the
hill.
We have been told b Mr,
Purvlue, the newly-chosen director
of the school, that the specialty
at Uls particular Institution will
be technical training, Just below
the professional level. The school
EPLEY will offer this work as Its special
field, along Willi the vocational courses which are
generally offered by vocational schools over the state.
' Why shouldn't the name of the Institution give
some Idea of this special function?
. Incidentally, we received a news release this morn
ing from the school set up on the big navy installa
tion at Parragut, Idaho. It Is called the "Parragut
College and Technical Institute."

Balloon Secrecy
THE Astorian-Budget is skeptical of callms that air
tight secrecy about Japanese balloon bombs to
1944 and 1945 was Justified, a claim based on recent
findings to Japan.
The Japs have told army authorities that they gave
up the bombing project after failing to recieve reports of
the great damage they hoped the bombs would create
to this country. On the basis of that information.
General William H. Wilbur, who was chief of staff of
the western defense command during the bombing
period, has said that the secrecy program was a
...great success.
The Budget, however, thinks that full-spread ac
counts of the balloon-bomb campaign and its In
effectiveness would have discouraged the Japanese
Just as Quickly.
Both views, of course, are second-guessing, but
we are inclined to agree with our Astoria contempo
rary. We have seen press reports to the effect that the
Japs, loosing their balloons for over a period of two
years, firmly believed that they were creating terrific
havoc to the United States. -
Complete silence on the part of the. U. S. was
probably looked upon by the Japs as confirmation
of this belief, at least for a long time. If there had
been honest, spontaneous reporting of each balloon
find. Illustrating the futility of the campaign, it
would Just have likely convinced the Japs (provided
they read every Tj. S. newspaper as carefully as a
lot of people seemed to think) as did the artificial
silence that was maintained "voluntarily" by our
newspapers under army decree.
If the balloons had been a success, it might have
been different. They were a failure, and the Japs
might as well have been informed. .
The policy of secrecy, at any rate, served to in
crease the danger lor Americans who might, to
ignorance, tinker with one of the gadgets. We know
something about that here.

SUGGESTED IDEAS
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To the
Editor) I would like to add my
thoughts on "Keep Oregon Green."
During a lovely highway trip to
Ashland the other day I had the
time to observe how carelessly light
ed cigarettes ar still tossed from
moving cars, both Oregon and Cali
fornia licenses that I saw.
I would like to suggest that the
public needs 12 months' instruc
tions on how to care for their cigar
ettes and I think it should be a
punishable crime to toss lighted
material from any moving vehicle
12 months of the year. It Is pitiful
that such momentary carelessness

Interview with
the major daily
editorial opinion last week concerned labor legislation.
Of comment on this subject 29 per cent favored the
stiff house anti-labor bill, while 22 per cent preferred
the equally vicious senate bill."
Now let us look at that again. If those percent
ages before May & expressed public opinion accurate
ly then, they have certainly been changed by CIO
activity. Also in this indented story the CIO is at
tacking the daily free public press. But union mem
bers work to every newspaper office throughout the
country, In reportorial, typographical, telegraphic and
I think other positions. The union thus Is attacking
Its own Industry, Its own job. The extent to which
It goes to this respect you may see from its own
magazine on page 11. A strong attack is carried
there against a certain nationally known soup com
pany, charging it with gambling with the nation's
tomato crop. Then It adds: "The union has been
trying to negotiate with soup company management
since February ..."
Indeed, the former Philadelphia Publisher Mr.
David Stem has testified the CIO local union to his
extremely favorable shop chased him out of business.
should cause such disastrous re
sults. I also would like to comment on
the article on the Harvey Jones
"treasure."
After talking to many old-timers
who know the man It is impossible
to believe that a poor old man (who
was driven from his dry land farm by
drought, and the low grain prices of
the early 20's) could possibly have
buried a fortune, let It lay so many
years.
Anyhow, why couldn't it have
been more recently buried treasure
for Instance the loot from the El
Rancho Tule, a robbery which re
sulted to the murder of the night
watchman over a year ago.
This old bam would have been
an excellent location to bury the
loot until the excitement of the
affair blew over. The robbery oc
curred during lambing tune when
extra tracks could not have caused
much curiosity. Also It was evi
dently dug up at a corresponding
time. Also It was close enough to
Tulelake that the guilty parties
could rob, blow their safes on both
sides of the line, transfer the loot
to a strongbox, take it out and bury

itol "to trie disgust ot a lot of congressmen seeking
to knife the people's Interests," and continues:
. "They talked with representatives and senators,
left petitions and scrolls and headed home deter
mined to spread the word that now Is the time to
'48 elections . . , said Luther Slink'
official to St. Louis who spoke for a
group of 32 Missouri unionists: 'Our visit with Mis
souri congressmen showed a shocking lack ot recogni
tion of the seriousness of the Hartley bill.' (Note to
those who do not have time to read much news: The
Hartley bill was largely discarded by the house and
senate conferees last week.)
"The congressmen, with the exception of Reps.
Cannon and Kartsten are either uninformed or bad
ly Informed .... from Ohio came ISO ClO'ers . , ,
50 of them crowding Into a committee room for au
Senator Taft . . . were told by the
senate OOP leader that labor was exaggerating the
seriousness of the bill and that he has no objection
to Industrywide bargaining ... the Ohio senator had
gone , to great lengths to keep that view out of the
public eye. . . . Conclusions of Lavelle and the Ohio
group: 'We found many congressmen who voted for
the Hartley bill, and didn't know what they were
voting for. , . . Indiana sent two groups of CIO
boosters to make life difficult for Senators Capehart
and Jenner and for many OOP members of the
state's delegations." . . .
Cose Of Red Ears
THE article continues to tell of delegations isiling
senators and congressmen from their home dis
tricts. South Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
New York, New Jersey, the New England states,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky and West Virginia,
with similar tactics.
The article Is headed: "Mr. Labor Comes to Wash
ington." The final line says with innuendo: "And
judging from what the delegates promised they'd
report to the people back home (that?) a lot of con
gressmen must be having a bad case of red ears."
Now let us go over that again from the beginning.
This sort of thing has been continuing since the
beginning of consideration of- the labor bills and be
fore. In that time there has been no similar tactics
by the public at large, interested solely to the public
welfare, no delegation ior them before congress to
such a way or any other. Their weekly magazines,
news service, etc were not similarly active. In short,
the people whose interests are thus reported to have
been "knifed" did not even appear. The CIO plainly
Is assuming it solely represents the people's Interests,
an assumption hardly Justified either by its limited
members or this attempt to its own selfish Interest.
For an Instance of this, the CIO editors carry a
headline on page 6: "CIO wage gains soar. Pay
hikes for half a million." They do not report that
the wages of the other 134.500.000 people soar al
though these 13400,000 are the people they profess
to represent.
a a a
Attack On Press
NOW you might say this was not important un
less It was successful. The CIO magazine shows
you it is successful. Indented right Into the same
story Is another story concerning this CIO campaign
which started long before May S and continues to
Its unequaled attempt to influence public opinion.
This indented story is headed: "For the record.
Another link to the anti-labor record of the Daily
Press was forged last week. The Twohey analysis
of newspaper opinion reported that 'support of stflf
legislation on labor has crystalized and strengthened.
The analysis, an objective survey of comment in
papers, said that 48 per cent of !
it and home safe and sound before
daylight and before the crime was
even discovered.
It seems the robbery was well
planned, though the murder may
nnt. hail, kaan a..U ....i
....... guMvjr parties
were too well known to let him live.
l m airaia mere is still at least one
or two of the robbers and murder
ers In our midst or at least "south
of the Oregon" border.
What do you think?
I don't like to sign my name lest
I get in trouble, and I don't think
you can blame me, but It is a
thought anyhow. a.C

America Is Still Tops,
And Ireland A Memory
By HAL BOYLE
ivnrlSAS CITY. Mo.. Jane 2 WV
Nobody can surprise you more than
your own mother.
Mine Is crowding sixty, and I
thought I knew her pretty well. I've
thought all my life she secretly
wanted sometime to revisit Ireland,
the land of her birth.
She came to this country as a
young girl from County Mayo, and
was seAslck five days on the way
over. She remembers it as one of
the most terrible experiences of her
life, and It has cured her of any
taste for salt water traveling.
She was the oldest of nine chil
dreneight girls and a boy and she
had to help care for the others after
her own mother died early.
Poor mom! She only lumped from
the frying pan Into the fire. It
wasn't long after she came to this
STATIC
By KELLY ROBERTS
We have two letters In this
morning's mall. One at a time,
they are:
"Dear Kelly. Sorry I'm late In
(jetting In a reply to your question.
Yes, I do think: the picture ot
Zeke Is tlatterlnn considering that
voice on the radio. And he's not
old, really, unless I can't see plain
ly. And Isn't he young? Or am I
really seeing things? Still won
dering. P. 8. Thanks for printing
the pic of Oabrlel Heatter. I was
surprised."
Dear "Still Wondering": If you
think that picture of Zeke Is good
looking. It's no wonder that you're
still wondering. Well agree with
you that It IS flattering, but . . .
No, he Isn't old, either, but that
always reminds me of the old one
about "How old do you have to
get In the mountains" which Is
where Zeke was raised.
Here's the second letter . . .
"Dear Sir: Static Is as erratic as
everl But I keep reading It, with
hopes. How about a "pic" of your
good pal Charlie McFarlan? Be
wildered as ever, Kay."
Dear Kay, thanks for the "sir,"
it's the first we've had In the
basin. As for running a cut of Mc
Farlan, we ran one about eight
weeks ago and our circulation fell
off about 800 copies. After all, he
works for KFLW and doesn't have
to worry about the paper, but
what about us?
The other evening, in our usual
spot, a gal got up to sing and we
liked her. Walking over to find out
who she was, we. found that It was
Kay Carlisle, former songstress
with the Camel Caravan network
shows and MWSM, Nashville, Ten
nessee. Kay's been In the basin
since last November, her husband
being with Weyerhaeuser. Here's
hoping to hear more of her.
Rumors have a new tenor sax
orch starting up at the armory on
Wednesdays soon. It'll be a good
change, the armory used to have
some of the best stuff In the basin,
but lately has been bogged down
by a bunch of haphazard show
manship and Indifferent sponsor
ing. . .
The Shasta-Cascade Wonderland
association started a new feature
on the noon-day news over KFLW
today. Titled "The Shasta-Cascade
Reporter," the series will con
tinue for 14 weeks over the six
stations In the S-C area. The pro
grams will be narrated by Dean
Pleper and are designed to show
visitors the scenic and recreational
attractions In the region.
.
All of which makes us wonder
why Klamath county doesn't do a
little more to keep visitors here,
Instead of guiding them south for
their vacations.

country that she was embarked on
a family of five children of her own.
Slaters Followed
Her sisters followed her to Amer
ica, one alter the other, until only
tnc one brother was left to take over
the old larm In Ireland.
When her children were young
mom used to love to tell us tales ot
County Mayo and her childhood
there. How the things she had
wanted most desperately as a small
girl was a china egg like the one a
neighbor had to keep her hens lay
ing. How her own father, who
worked from before dawn until after
sunset, had one luxury In his life;
his mother used to get up first so
she could bring him the breakfast
tea to his bed. It was a good
formula the old man lived well In
to his eighties.
From all these stories we some
how got the Idea that mom still
carried In her heart a hunger to
see Ireland again. But when the
boys recently talked over sending
her back for a visit. It turned out
she Just wanted to keep County
Mayo where it was In her memory.
. She said It would do no good to
go. that everything would be
changed and her childhood friends
scattered or dead. And she had an
other reason.
"I really am so happy In America
that I never want to leave It," she
said. And for the first time In my
life after knowing her all these
years I learned what an adventur
er mother was. She hadn't come
timidly or hesitantly to America,
but vigorously and eagerly. Search
ing for what she wanted a chalice
for a better life.
"I wanted to come after I saw
the change In people who had gone
to America and come back on a
visit," she said. "There was more
to them. I felt then that America
must be the land of opportunity.
Biggest Regret
"My biggest regret Is that I wasn't
born In America. I would like to
have lived here 50 years earlier and
helped pioneer the West."
Then mother added, with that
caution that makes her the family
balance wheel:
"But I wouldn't want to get Into
any entanglements with the In
dians." I asked her just what particular
advantage life here has over the old
country, and she said:
"It is education the public school
system In America. It Is wonderful.
All can share on It. There Is noth
ing like It."
Mom educated herself by home
reading chiefly newspapers but
the schools were there for her chil
dren. She believes that overseas
service taught many young people
during the war to see for the first
time the merit of their country.
"Of all the lands in the world
America Is the most beautiful," she
said. "Whoever leaves America and
returns, comes back loving Its shores
more and more."
She herself wants to see "all the
history of the United States Inde
pendence Hall, Mount Vernon,
Alexander Hamilton's tomb, yes,
and Hollywood, too."
So this summer she Is going to
give the kitchen stove a rest and
see America first taking along the
Irish brogue she's never lost. She
does hope to shake off the rheuma
tism that developed this soring.
"I can't see how anvbod" would
want to leave here after 40 min
utes let alone after 40 years," she
said.

(HeWItt AUrKriule Is On Vacation)
WASHINGTON. June 1 The
recurring notion Hint Kuroie nilglil
be hnmilar lis n "United Hlntcs of
Kuroue Is netting a sort of labor
atory test In Uireo of the little
north countries.
Belgium, The Netherlands and
Luxembourg are working toward an
economic union which will menu
their people enn do business with
each other Just about as the peo
ple ow Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Maryland do.
The experiment Is getting a good
bit o anxious and hoie(ui watch
ing from experts who think Ku
roe's tariff walls nud patchwork
currency systems only add fuel to
the flames of antagonistic national
isms. This summer the three Utile
countries will set up a uniform
tariff schedule. The Brlglun. the
Dutchman and the Luxembourg
cltlscns, buying from country "X"
will all puy the same tariff on the
same commodity.
No Tariff
Right now there Is no tariff or
customs. Duty between them ex
cept a few excise tuxes and luxury
duties. And they are not so much
based on the old Idea of shutting
out foreign goods as they are a de
terrent to trade In non-essentials.
No visas are needed to travel be
tween the countries, and the hoe
la to keep It that way. The Nether
lands Is the most liberal on this
score. They already have made
agreements with several European
nations the United Kingdom the
large : among them to permit free
travel, wiping out the- nuisance tax
of the visa fee.
Eventually the three little coun
tries plan to have a common cur
rency. Happily Belgium and Holland are
markedly complimentary to each
other In the things they turn out.
Strangely, lying as close as they lo
on a small part of tile world s map,
Belgium Is roughly a Pittsburgh to
The Netherlands' combination of
Kansas and Minnesota.
Traditionally the Belgians have
bought the Dutchman's dairy pro
ducts and world fumous bulbs. And
the Dutchman has bought a good
bit of his Iron and steel products
from his western neighbor.
Up to World War II the three
nations charged tariffs on each
other's products. With the tariff
now out of the way. the price the
consumer pays In all three coun
tries will be lower. Trade has al
ready picked up In the area notice
ably. Klfld Price Control
All three nations rre working to
keep comparable and rigid price
control and rationing systems go
ing. Their citizens have little chance
to complain of a neighbor's unfair
advantages.
The Dutch have already licked
their major reconstruction problem
the repair of the bridges which
the warring armies blew up. Trains
are moving on a reasonable Imlta-
I tlon of prewar schedules. Even the
uutcn lurmianns which were Hood
ed when the dikes were blown up
are dry again and will produce their
first peacetime crops tills year.
Belgium came out of the war
with a hnppy difference from most
of her neighbors. She bad a com
paratively large supply of foreign
currencies, due In part to the fact
that the U. S. army lived there for
a year, leaving behind a legacy of
American dollars.
The experiment has more than an
economic phase. The Dutchman is
essentially a Nordic The culture
of the Belgians has deep Gallic
roots. Eras ago that was enough
to start a war. and Europe has
seen plenty of religious wars.
Now such widely different peo
ples are tossing together their eco
nomic fates, regardless of the
shrines at which they worship and
the songs they ting on holidays.
This Is nothing new to an Amer
ican, but to Europe It Is almost
something new under tha sun.

Big Dipper In Unusual
Position At This Season

"I know I never saw the Ulg Dip
per In that queer position before,
why, It's nlmml overhead and Hil
lside ilowul" But despite surprise,
mat nas been exactly Its location
around 8 p. in. every year late In
May.
A teacher wrote UinU she over
heard her small boy and his Jap-
laliese pluymule discussing the Dip
per. Her boy was learnedly explain
ing that at tills season It was always
upside down. Then came the retort:
"Vou know what I think? I think
you're upside down."
Very few are there who do not
know the Big Dlpiwr, but Its ap
parent motion hi the sky Is not
always evident. The two end stars
In the Dipper's bowl, almost M
degrees apart, are called the Point
ers because an Imaginary Una drawn
through them and continued on
nearly .10 degrees will about strike
the North Slur. This star Is so near
the pole of the sky lonly one de
gree off at present i that we shell
assume In tills discussion that It
constantly stays In one apparent
position. The other stars In the
northern sky seem to revolve around
this star once In 33 hours M min
utes as though all were securely
fastened to a huge cardboard disk
centered at the North Star. When
the Dipper Is above the North Star,
as In the evenings of late May. It is
upside down. Twelve hours later
(then Invisible, of course) It la near
the northern horlson and right side
up. This apparent motion Is due to
the earth's dally rotation.
But why does the Ulg Dipper revolve-In
four minutes lens than s
day? This Is due to the earth's revo
lution around the sun. Tills puts the
Dipper In slightly different positions
at S p. m. from night to night. At
the same hourlx months from now
it will be near the northern hori
zon, as at present at 9 a. m.
The star at the bend of the Dip
per's handle. Mlzar, has nestling in
Its rays a tiny companion, Alcor.
In even small telescopes Mliuir
breaks Into two bright stars quite
close together and Alcor appears fsr
removed from this pair. The light
from theso stars requires 78 years
to reach us.
Throughout the span of a human
lifetime, naked - eye observation
will show no change In the shape ot
the Big Dipper, but minute angular
movements will after ,100.000 years
