THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1947 PACE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON fteralb anil gelt News Behind The News f RANK JENKINS Editor MALCOLM EPUCY Managinl Editor EPLET Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEV IN yesterday's Interesting discussion of tourist pro motion possibilities for the Klamath area, con ducted by John Houston at the Tulelake Rotary club, Uie point was made that una section la on a tourist fly-way, with a flow of traffic through It inevitable, regardless of promo tional activities at distant points. Continued development of our highways, and Insistence on their recognition on maps, roadslgns, and among -"those who provide In formation for tourists, Is certain to ' bring an Increasing travel through our region. Another basic factor In attracting tills lucrative travel Is first class facilities for accommodating the people passing through here. The major objective, of course, 1 to hold these travelers for a while in our area. To accomplish this, we have, among other things, two outstanding attractions Crater Lake national park and the Lava Beds national monument. In addition to these, there are many other interesting things in our country. For example, we have found that the Tule lake country Itself, where yesterday's meeting was held, holds fascination for, the visitor. On several oc casions, we have accompanied visitors for the first time Into the Tule lake area. As. we have passed the J. Frank Adams place, we have always mentioned that at this point we are entering a huge area once covered with water. Invariably, that has won their Interest and curiosity. ' It might be a good Idea to erect a sign at that point on the highway, bearing some such large in scription as TULE LAKE WATER LINE, followed by other Informative material. This would add materially to the Interest of travel through our area. The sign recently erected at Algoma viewpoint on US 97 Is all to the good, and more of that sort of thing might well be undertaken. Observers report that more travelers than ever before now stop at Algoma viewpoint, and that sign, only recently erected by the state highway commission at the instigation of the local chamber of commerce, has been read by thousands, As an enthusiastic motorist, who has driven con siderably in strange territory, this writer has always been appreciative of efforts made to keep him in formed about interesting spots he might otherwise pass without knowing of their significance. Information AND as to Information, it is mighty important that the passing motorist be accurately In formed by those in the area of whom he may Inquire. Distances, road conditions, special attrac tions within his reach, availability of hotel and auto court accommodations, become matters of great im portance to the traveler. The people with whom he is likely to come in contact service station attendants, restaurant folks, and others need to be able to answer these questions promptly and accurately. These people would do well to bone up a bit on the history of the region, for that can add a lot to the pleasure and interest of a visit to our region. A little imagination and ingenuity can help a lot on capitalizing on the tourist trade possibilities of the region. Mrs. Phyllis . Beardsley, at yesterdays Tulelake meeting, made many interesting suggestions, ' such as the promotion of a catchy song that would feature our area. The point we are getting at is that if it is true that heavy travel through here Is Inevitable, regard less of what we do about it, it is also true that It offers economic opportunity" that can be realized .to s greater or lesser extent according to our own imagination, effort, and hospitable Interest In the folks who pause In our country. A V Y mention federal finances around here. Money Is a lubfect repugnant to democrats and republicans alike. Consequently when the second Installment of Income tax returns ram In June 15, no on la the treasury, congress or press paused to see it they were larger than expected due to the Increased circulation of money. More receipts might Justify tax reduction still mere. Yet no one said anything. When Mr. Truman sends up his budget each year tlx to eighteen months ahead of expenditures, and keeps It so open, no one can possibly approach defin ite conclusions; the topic fills air and papers. But when the tax payment comes and you can actually see where you are, no one cares. The June SO treasury statement allows receipts were $4317 million in June, compared with 3B84 last June, an increase above $400 million. For the first six months of the year, treasury receipts were down about the same amount itvi.i billion last year compared with $43.1 tills year) but the Increases in recent weeks show all the treasury figures this calendar year are running currently higher than anyone has thought. The low Income groups are paying more tax. In June the withholding tax receipts were up along $100 million ($753.6 million this year compared with $631.4 last year.) Bigger Than Expected EVEN at the end ol the Itscal year, ine .time oi final addition, all that came out was a state ment by Treasury Secretary Snyder tliat we had a much bigger surplus than expected, i$7M.7 millions he made it.) accompanied by a warning against ' reducing taxes. The financially minded Wall Street Journal used Just a few paragraphs on this, and in the N.Y. Times you had to look tor It on page 9. Obviously no one cared much. Perhaps this is Just as well because the treasury sneaked some next year's expenditures into last year's budget in order to hold the surplus figure down, and make the finances look worse. Former Treasury Undersecretary Hanes said the treasury "Juggled" the figures to sustain the Truman fiscal argument against tax reduction. In truth. Snyder had reduced the debt by 114 billion in the year then closing. His receipts had' been Hi billion more than he figured. But he cut the surplus total by adding In some tax refunds, British debt advances, and other things which would normally have fallen into this fiscal year. Dollars are worth less. Naturally more will be received in taxes from the acceleration of wages, particularly from the low wage Income group. Busi ness receipts (miscellaneous Internal revenue) are off from $615 million to $601 million. High prices are taking a buying fall But this does not at all fit. the Truman picture of the rich getting a big republican tax reduction, so Mr. Snyder painfully views the happy or disre garded circumstances with caution. Indeed, even Senate Director Taft was against bringing up the delayed-ux reduction (beginning next January 1) at this time. Ten appropriation bills were then un passed. ' ' SIDE GLANCES eoet mi n i tk-.-. we. t. m. in u. i. .i o.r 7-0 "I don't know why his music is so nppoaling to me as a rule I don't like married band leaders!" STATIC By VAN HEMKRT UN Action Waits FOREIGN CHAIRMAN VANDENBERG was even more deadset against raising the subject. Van denberg has all his United Nations legislation to get through before adjournment, and he did not wish a tax reduction bill Interfering, especially . as the cut Is to be promised for six months hence. It was the house republicans, plus democratic Senators Byrd and George, who forced Taft and Vandenberg to change their minds. The house republicans said they intended to pass a tax reduction anyway, whether Taft agreed to tate it up in the senate or not. Taft could see he would look rather con spicuous as an obstacle in such a situation. He reluctantly consented to the senate taking, up the bill. Byrd made a personal poll Indicating the tax reducers had 51 sure senate votes, plus 8 or 6 others who would probably go along, and all they needed was 64 votes to pass their bill over a Truman veto if all the senate happened to be present (an unlikely circumstance.) He showed there was no excuse for delay. The World Today By Da WITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The Greek government's an nouncement of a communist plot to overthrow the Athens regime ac quires special significance from the fact that a few hours earlier Deputy Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko has charged Deiore the united Na tions security council that the situ ation in Greece was due to Anglo- American interference and had de manded that the u. N. order foreign military personnel (meaning U. S. and British) off Greek soil. It was In the p re-dawn of yester day that Greek police and military made swift raids which netted close to 3,000 people who were charged with plotting rebellion against the state. Many important communists reportedly had fled to the moun tains or were In hiding. Officials stated that all those arrested would have hearings and that those impli-1 rated probably would be exiled on the numerous islands off the Greek coast in the .Aegean. The zero hour for the coup is said to have been one a. m. today. One wonders whether Oromyko would have delivered exactly the same speech if he had known that the Greek police were to swing Into action against the reds a few hours later. Anyway, the Soviet delegate's attack on America and Britain and his defense of communism in the Balkans provided another Gromyko drama for the security council at Lake. Success. Gromyko said that Russia couldn't accept an American proposal for the establishment of a semi-permanent u. N. watch along the borders in question. The effect of Gromyko's fiery pro posals of course must be to delay the security council in making a de cision regarding the Balkan investi gating commission's report. Any de lay of this sort obviously would be of advantage to the red elements which have been aiming at the es tablishment of a soviet In Greece. It would permit continuance of such tactics as have been employed by red elements along the frontiers of Greece's northern neighbors. ine aiscovery oi tne plot in Athens presumably has out a dent in the communist program, but it Isn't likely to halt the red drive, i Because of Greece's strategic poliltl-co-military position she has been marked down for communization and the only thing which can block it Is outside intervention. Greece Isn't yet capable of defending her sell. Oklahoma To Back Dewey SAPULPA. Okla.. July 10 lP Two Arkansas republican leaders told Gov. Thomas E. Dewry of New York Tuesday there were strung In dications the Arkansas delegation to the OOP national convention In 1948 would support the governor for the presidential nomination. William T. Mills, defeated can didate for governor of Arkansas last year, and Claude-M. Williams, a member of the Arkansas state committee.' said they assured Dewey there was a "heavy sentiment" for him In Arkansas. Arkansas has 13 convention votes. Both hoped to be delegates to the national convention. Mills said that while It was too early to make final Judgment on which ay Arkansas delegates would go. he expected a majority of them would be for Dewey. Mills, wearing a 1944 Dewey pres idential campaign button, and Wil liams, conferred with the governor In his hotel suite here this morn- State Police Stand Guard Over Roads By VAN 1IKMKKT Everyone did not take a vacation over the 4th of July holidays.
