By MALCOLM EPLEY SOUTH SIXTH STREET people are celebrating again. Completion ol the fine lighting system on a section of that widened thoroughfare is the basis (or a bit of entertainment ana fun slated for Friday nlghL The lights were on last night, and, observing the double row of gleams from our hillside resi dence, we took ourselves out that way. We found the lights adding modernistic lustre to a street that already looks as if it belongs to the future. Congratulations are in order, and a lot of people will want to offer them on the occa sion of the Friday night party. EPLEY Opportunity WE have delected, among some of our South Sixth street friends, a slight defensive attitude, a sort of feeling as if someone has something against them, or may be trying to frustrate their ambitions. This may not be true of very many of the folks out there, but It is something that has shown up a little now and then. We suggest to the folks on South Sixth that they forget 1L They have a grand street and a grand op portunity, and we have observed nothing of un friendliness or jealous toward them on the part of anybody. We can all get along fine together. This department did a lot of work over many years to help bring about the outstanding improvement that has been made on South Sixth, and we know it is a matter of basin-wide pride. And that does it for today. We've picked up a few extra duties under vacation schedule at our office, and the column, lor today, has to be short. We anticipate no public complajnt. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, July. 23 A full-fledged discus sion of the inflationary possibilities of the Lewis coal settlement was stopped by a statement of George Humphrey, the Pittsburgh coal operator, to the senate economic commission. This kept Rep resentative Hartley from coming to vocal blows with his labor bill co-author. Senator Taft, in an economic free-for-all. In fact, it quieted the whole volatile matter for the most part. The Humphrey position was little reported amid other developments, and not made entirely clear in some" phases. For instance, he claimed the wage increase was only tl.20 a day whereas the Lewis people calculated for the press It would run above S3 a day. No bones will be broken in arguing about this, however. Humphrey merely figured what a losing agreement for him might cost under, the best possible circumstances, Lewis was figuring for his miners what he had won, from assumptions more favorable to his viewpoint. Two Stories YOU know you can easily obtain opposing versions of an automobile accident from several eyewit nesses. The coal settlement was no accident, of course. But from the same set of circumstances, Mr, Humphrey, got one story and Lewis another. This Involved no dispute about the contract, but has caused considerable public confusion. Humphrey figured the take-home pay of a miner from eight hours work a day would Increase Sl.iO. and it does. But he did not figure (perhaps could not), although he plainly mentioned It in his testimony, that the settlement meant a day less of work a week and an hour less of work each day. In short, the miner would make only $1.30 a day more from his work, but If you figure how much more he makes by working so much less time, the Lewis figure of over 13 can be Justified. From the basic economic standpoint of production of coal and the cost of same, the Lewis figure thus mould more accurately reflect what the consumer will pay. But what really hindered major discussion was Humphrey's interpretation of this change as rcc'.'fy ing an Inequity which had existed in the miner's wage and working conditions Since the war if meas ured against union advances. In short, he took' the position this was not a pattern for a national econo my but an exceptional case. Amid such conflicting intangibles, it became almost .impossible for anyone to reach any definite conclusions. Liberal Aim WHERE union leaders are heading their force and power remains, therefore, a question un answered here on the inside or outside. Authorities In the most objective position (and, therefore, best able to Judge perhaps), are rather certain the next big liberal movement In this country will be toward British socialization. The crowd for which Mr. Wal lace is fronting is actually directed that way. It is getting started now with demands for government participation. For example, there is a demand for expansion of the steel Industry, and the "Murray-Pepper bloc is beginning to talk about government building the steel mills, if Industry will not. Then there Is agi tation about the absorption of smaller Industries by' bigger ones, the concentration of industrial bigness. The senate small business committee says this is real and threatening, and that when the current lines fully develop, it will be much easier for the socialists to' take over. Certainly the movement is strong within congress to preserve the smaller and mlddle-sised businesses.' But all this is secondary, nebulous or minor. The union leaders have the power, position and money. Where they are taking themselves, their men and the national economy, is the Important thing. No one here seems able to furnish any worthwhile evidence on this, if the union leaders themselves know. The economists behind congress, for instance, are shy even on Judgment in the matter. It is hard to believe that John Lewis is striving for nationalisation of the coal mines. He Just got the miners out of the clutches of the government, which led him to court and fine. Yet the logical en of the Lewis program would force costs so high that when there is a break in the price of coal, or when co-operation between gas and oil makes further inroads, the cry for nationalization will surely swell Into a roar. USMC Recruit Men Coming Master Bgt George T. Welk. and Technical Sgt. Chester C.

(To the Editor) In the Oregonian of July 4, on the front page appeared the article concerning slot machines in operation in that city. We should like to ask the question, cannot something be done in the city of Klamath Falls to clean up the evil which exists here openly, namely the illegal operation of machines of chance? But recently there appeared also in the Oregonian, articles from As toria with a directive from the attor ney general that the slot machines were to be put away. Then another article from Corvallis slating that the sheriff had cleaned them out in Benton county, still another article from Baker, Ore., in which fines up to more than $3000 had been levied against the operators, including some lodges. The same matter came up in Umatilla county and all ma chines were removed from the places where they had been in use in that county. Why cannot Klamath county be made free of these illegal, unfair devices? We should like to ask the question: Who is to blame for per mitting them to run here? Is it the district attorney, the sheriff, the chief of police, or whom? Why does not the newspaper give us an edi torial upon this issue? Certainly it Steer Theft Brings Jolt Isiahi Francis Rodgers Jr., 24. who operates a small ranch in Poe valley, was sentenced to serve three years in the state penitentiary yes terday when he pleaded guilty in circuit court to larceny of livestock. He disposed of a yearling steer which was a stray from a herd owned by the Hill Brothers ranch. Rodgers admitted in court that he knew the yearling belonged to Bill and Lou Hill, Merrill cattle men, when he traded it off to Doc Daugherty, who later put it up for sale at a local stock auction yard. The Hill brothers were present at the sale and spotted their "Hat" brand on the steer when it was put up for sale. They bought it and a brand inspector and state police traced the animal back to Rodgers. The yearling had strayed from a herd several weeks ago and was located by Warren Moore of Poe valley, who notified the Hills that he had their steer. Before they ar rived to get the animal, Moore said that Rodgers had tried to buy it from him for $25. Later Rodgers represented the steer as his own and swapped it to Daugherty for a cow. is something that concerns the wel fare of the citizens of this area- We believe the whole matter could be carea tor u tnose wno are cnargeo with the responsibility would go to work on the Issue concerned. As a citizen of this area, we should like to ask, why don't they? MR. AND MRS. L. A. REDDEN, Rt. 2, 'Box 822. RADIO PROGRA31S WEDNESDAY EVE..
