Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THE other night, on Um radio program which I
conduct, I commented al some length on the
Ircqutnlly heard remark that "you cull get away
' with murder In Klamath county.
I raised the question as to whether
It Is true, as mrny people seem
to think, that criminal prosecu
tions have been generally less suc
cessful in Klamath county than
elsewhere. If It Is true, I asked,
what have been the responsible
factors? Has It been the inef
fectiveness of the conduct of
prosecution, the exceptional ef
fectiveness of defense lawyers
hereabouts, the manner in which
law has been interpreted by the
court, or the attitude of Jurors
toward criminal cases.
I offered no answer to the questions t asked, but
made it clear that this reputation of Klamath
county, among our own people as well as elsewhere,
has evidently been built up over, a long period of
time and over generations of Judges, prosecutors and
Juries. I made no reference to any particular local
case, and Intended no crack at any particular of
ficial or Individual.
In fact, the whole matter came up through a few
remarks that were made at a luncheon table discus
sion In which a local business man, an attorney,
and I were participants. This discussion was started
over the child abandonment case in nearby Siskiyou
county, with the business man making a typical
comment to the effect that If some person were
going to go outside his own county to commit a
crime, his best chance of getting away with It would
be in Klamath county. When he said that, I com
mented that I had been hearing talk like that
about Klamath county for years, and suggested
: speculation as to what was behind It- The conversa
tion followed, and the radio discussion followed that.
Repercussions
SINCE the radio program was given, I have heard
unexpected repercussions. Some effort has been
made to connect my comments with particular cases,
whereas I had none In mind. There has evidently
been some misinterpretations of my motives, and
-.there certainly have been some wild distortions of
trhat I said.
' For example, I have heard that a Juror in a recent
easevacvery angry because he heard that Epley
had gone on the air and asked what the Judge and
Jury got out of an acquittal In that case. I made
no such remark or anything that sounded like it.
I did not quostkn the Integrity of any official or
Individual. Some- one was probably kidding my
Juror friend, but it shows how far oft the truth
some reports can go, and that is why I am discussing
the matter today In cold type.
In the broadcast, I mentioned the fact that the
attorney who participated In our conversation had
suggested that the nature of juries may be an im
portant factor In the allegedly frequent acquittals
here. I went on to emphasise the responsibility of
Jurors, and particularly the responsibility of good,
Intelligent citizens accepting the call to Jury serv
ice, rather than to attempt to get excused for per
sonal and business reasons.
My sole motive was to advocate a public attitude
toward criminal prosecution to the end that guilty
persons axe convicted, and that Innocent persons,
wrongfully accused, go free. I carefully cautioned
against blind con victor attitude. There was abso
lutely "nothing said that should influence any Juror
or any public official to do other than his duty In
any case, nor that could in any way react unfairly
on any accused person.
It Is not what was said, but misinterpretations and
misquotations, which so easily follow the spoken
word, that might do harm, and so I have under
taken in this written piece today to clarify the
situation for all who may be interested. "

Behind Tne News
By PAUL MALLON
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, July 3 How much tlie big name
leaders really control their union members po
litically Is a question asked by recently glossed-over
events. How much they represented the rank and
file In Uieir campaign against the reform bill
(salient provisions of which were designed to In
crease member-authority against the leaders) Is the
striking, all-pertinent Inquiry raised by these de
velopments, to wit:
You can always get a crowd for any cause In
New York, and tlie press had been metropolitan
minded In reporting Die Madison Square Garden
meetings and rallies against the union bill. But In
a small steel town near Pittsburgh, where the entire
community relies on the mill and adjacent factories,
the story was different. More promotional ballyhoo
than the town had ever before seen was prepared
for a big mass meeting. Sound trucks paraded the
streets. Large advertisements were In the news
papers. Petitions were circulated on street corners.
The speaker against the congress bill was no less a
national drawing card than Lee Pressman, council
of CIO.
Yet a citisen who went that night reported no
more than ISO persons by actual count attended the
meeting, many of whom were outsiders there to put
on the show. Pressman normally would have drawn
several thousand. That union community Just did
not react to the national union leadership on that
question.
a
$1 Contributions Sought
YOU all will remember how Phil Murray and tlie
national CIO-PAC directors decided to raise
SI from each CIO member to campaign against the
bill, contemplating up to S6.000.OOtT for the effort.
And you all noted the telegrams, letters, petitions
and caravans which descended upon Washington to
express "public" sentiment against the republican
congressmen, who were voting for the legislation a
campaign calculated to cause them to change their
votes. , t
The CIO-PAC has filed a report with tlie clerk of
the house showing receipts of only S59.463 from
January 1 to June 1 this year while the bill was up.
According to this official CIO-PAC listing, the J'i
to 5 million members of CIO hardly contributed
enough to the political action organisation to pay
for the halls which were used for rallies the report
of contributions certainly Indicates the CIO member
ship fell far short of what the national union leaders
planned.
Now there may be something funny about this.
Perhaps the anti-bill funds were tunneled Into other
channels, although they were not supposed to go
elsewhere. Probably local unions bore considerable
expense without reporting. They may have borne
all local expenses.
Nevertheless you must reach the conclusion that
either the full expense was concealed, or else the
rank and file did not contribute to back their lead
ers in this campaign. Probably both conclusions are
correct.
6eparate resort are filed for quarterly periods.
For example in the last quarter, the contributions
came from 31 unions. Among the union contribu
tions to CIO-PAC were: national maritime S3000 (a
coastal leftwing union): Amalgamated Clothing
Workers (considerably New York area) 13000: Marine
and Shipbuilding Workers S2500; Electric Radio and
Machine Workers S3 000; United Rubber Workers
S2S00; International Longshoremen's and Ware ho use
men's union S1500; International Fur and Leather
Workers S7500. Nearly all these are the large metro
politan and eastern unions.
Wallace Outfit Gave
BUT counting the entire six months period since
January 1, the largest contributor was Phil
Murray's union, the United Steel Workers which gave
CIO-PAC flS.000 (far less than SI a head).
It is quite possible the locals spent 10 or 100 or
more times as much as the CIO-PAC nationally.
In ways which possibly never' will be reported, be
cause an audit of each local treasury in this respect
would be a tremendous task If the figures were
available for collection. Furthermore, the Taft-Hartley
reform bill prohibits unions from making political
expenditures "to an election," as well as corpora
tions. CIO-PAC may have to realign, or it may now
be realigned on a local basis which congress will
have difficulty penetrating.
In any event, the Henry Wallace Progressive
Citisens of America raised more than CIO-PAC
nationally the first six months of this year a tidy
and surprising S117.246.

Russia's rejection of the Marshall
f migrant for European economic re
labllltntlon is good newa for West

It is gixKi because II removes a

powers upon whom rests the main
responslbllty lor global welfare.
There could be no greater boon to
humanity than that.
!owever. wiUi each passing tiny
slii'e the end of the war it has
become Increasingly clear that the
way of totalitarian communism was
not that of Western democracy.
Moreover Western suspicions that
the Soviet Union was bent on com
munlslug the world have grown as
Moscow has brought nation after
nation In Europe and Asia within
lis sone of domination by cotits
which have evoked vigorous pro
teats from Washington and London.
Card. On Table
For a considerable time It has
been obvious to Informed observers
that (here must be a labium of
cards among the nialor powers. Sec
retary of State Marshall's economic
proposal has forred the showdown.
The Western allies tabled their
cards when that altruistic proposal
was made, and was agreed to by
Britain and France. Then the Au-glo-French
pair extended an Invi
tation to Russia to loin, thus leav
ing Moscow tlie choice of three
courses to pursue.
1. To accept and go all-out In an
effort to make the program work,
thereby encouraging belief that after
all communism and other Isms could
collaborate.
J. To Join with tongue In check
and then try to scuttle the ship.
S. To reiect cooperation, thereby
widening the breach between East
and West.

tov In turning down the proposal
declared that It "would lead to In
terference In the Internal affairs of
European countries." Moscow pre
viously had charged that the United
Stales was using tilts plan aa a sub
terfuge for extending its own In
fluence In Eurone an accusation
which Marshall has branded as
"fantastic" and "malicious."
So It s to be non-cooperation
unless Russia has an unexpected
change of heart. At long last we
know exactly where we stand and
we can plan accordingly.
