Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM tPLEY
THERE'S Tlrtually no hop now for any early
work on th. new north highway entrance to
Klamath Falls.
The bid received by the state
highway commission this week
(or the Job was about S100.000
ever the estimate and fund allo
cation lor the Job.
There is no immediate prospect
for highway construction costs go
ing down. Even though there is
a re-advertislng on the Klamath
gateway, the chances are not
good for a satisfactory bid unless
more money is allocated. Even in
that case, it would probably be
too late for construction to get
underway this year. EPLET
So the entrance Job is sidetracked. It is not
permanently out, however. The highway depart
ment has cleared the right-of-way, a Job involving
the removal . of a number of houses. It will be
built, all right, but how soon is uncertain. It is
sidetracked, but it will get back on the main line.
a a a
Miffed
WHILE the high bid was the major reason for
turning down the project at this time, Mayor
Ed Ostendorf was not sure he wasn't "Jobbed"
when he appeared at the highway commission meet
ing with the dtys agreement on the street-closing
features of the program.
An agreement- on keeping Earle and' Melrose
streets open, but requiring only right-hand turns at
those intersections, had been tentatively reached
by the city and legal representatives of the high
way commission.
When the mayor appeared before the commission,
he was curtly told the city had not lived up to its
agreements. Before the discussion could go far
enough to dear the atmosphere. Highway Engineer"
Baldock pointed out that the commission did not
have a favorable bid on the project anyway, and
the whole matter was promptly cut off the discussion
program by the commission.
, The mayor came home. Just a little miffed. He
thinks the plan for the street Intersections is a good
one, and at least should be given approval so that
It wont have to be argued over again when the
project comes up later.
We agree with him.
policy, and tli hardly sen the best interests of
the United States at home or abroad.
The movement, of course, is wholly unrealistic.
Actually, the thinking people on both sides are so
close together in what they want to do, there is
little ground left between them to fight over, certain
ly not enough to warrant losing foreign policy unity.
For instance, a rather full economic plan for in
ternational policy was laid forth by Oen. R. E.
Wood of Scars Roebuck to the congressional eco
nomic committee. It was not reported fully enough
to be understood. The board chairman of one of
the nation's largest merchandising units is rated as
an isolationist, but his experience and position is as
a merchandiser. He knows how to make or sell
every consumer ' Item except food and automobiles
profitably or he would not be where he Is. From
that standpoint, he obviously set forth his plan,
(or there is nothing Isolationist in It.
a a a a
High Farm Income
THE economic prophets, says Wood, are always
wrong. They thought there would be a de
pression after V-J Day, predicting 1 to t million
unemployed. But we have only voluntary unemploy
ment today, (the word "voluntary" is of his coinage 1.
They are probably as wrong today. The prophets
overlooked agriculture. Wood sells to agriculture
through 600 stores. Since the close of the war, he
sas's. the farmers have had the highest Income in
all history, and reserves of over 33 billion in cash
and government bonds. There has been no decline in
productivity "ot agriculture.
A decline in farm prices might come if we stopped
feeding Europe, but the increase In our population of
10 millions from 19J0 to 1950. plus the fact that
people are consuming more food, shows clearly our
(arm prices art not tied to Europe's needs to any
critical extent. This comes from a man whose
company Uvea largely from farm Income and there
tore must be believed.
Wood wants to feed Europe but not invest America
there. You can hardly consider it surprising that
n American business man does not consider Eu
rope a good investment He thinks England. Bel
gium ar.d Holland are overpopulated: that their
people should emigrate; that Western Europe has
forfeited by failures its place as the testing eco
nomic ground for world trends. Whatever we give
them, he sas's, we should not expect to get back.
But there is' a good place abroad for American
investment. He mentioned "the young and growing
untries of South and Central America and Can
ada." Loans to them "if properly applied," he said,
-will result in material benelir to those countries
and the United States." But loans to Europe cannot
really help those countries because they cannot be
repaid.
a a
Morshali Plan Near
THIS is hardly an isolationist doctrine. You
might call it an American hemispheric economic
program plus charity to Europe's needy.
Now the Marshall plan, is not far away from
that In words which have been spoken so far. The
state secretary is going to the Latin American
conference with Just about this same idea in view.
Of Europe, he says that throwing our money
around must stop and that the Europeans must
help themselves, before they can expect to drain
and siphon more from, us (Marshall has never said
how much). Marshall says we have already sent to

$4000 Cake Of Ice Points
Out Personal Claim
Story
By HAL BOYLE
WASHINGTON, July 25 W) Let
us consider today a 35-pound chunk
of Ice that congress agrees should
cost the American people $4000.
It reached this Inflationary level
after coming forcibly into contact
with Citizen Barley Shores under
circumstances which led him to be
lieve the United States government
was to blame. Anyway he was sure
it wasn t nis iauit.
The case Is typical of thousands
of personal claims that used to tie
up congress before the reorganiza
tion bill was passed. This ,0111 now
shuttles most such cases originating
since January 1, 1845, to the federal
district courts for settlement.
But the "case of the high price
Ice" goes back further. It shows
how complex a matter it Is to col
lect from Uncle Sam for damages.
a
The story begins on December 18,
' 1943, when Harley Shores was
working with a Missouri Pacific
road gang near Alma, Ark. As a
troop train passed bjj at sixty miles
an hour, a 35-pound chunk of ice
fell or was thrown from a kitchen
car.
' The ice struck the ground,
bounced and hit Shores on the left
knee and his troubles with the
American government began.
He suffered a fractured cartilage
which required extensive hospital
treatment and, he said, kept him
from returning to his 64-cents-an-hour
laboring Job.
Shores first sued the Missouri
Pacific Railroad and the Jury"
awarded him damages. But on Jan
uary 7, 1946, the Arkansas supreme
court reversed this verdict, declar- I
ing that the jury had no right to
hold the railroad guilty of negli
gence as the train was under the
control of an army olflcer.
So Shores and his attorney de
dded that they had better take up
the matter ot the bouncing Ice cake
with congress.
In the 25 months since the acci
dent. Shores Informed the legis
lators In house bill No. 5154, his
knee had got no better and he had
been able to earn only $150.
He said that In order to support
him, his wife and three children,
he had been forced to cut spinach,
pick strawberries, cottons and
beans, and work in canning fac
tories. He said that he needed an
operation on his knee to remove
the fractured cartilage but couldn't
afford one.
Well, I don't know what hap
pened to house bill No. 5154, but It
must have gotten lost in the shuffle
somewhere. '
Shores, his knee and the 35
pound cake of Ice bobbed up again
last January a year later in
house bill number 640, requesting
$5000 damages.
The war department entered the
case on July 3. Secretary of War
Robert Patterson wrote the house
Judiciary committee that yes, he
guessed the military authorities on
the troop train must have been
negligent.
He said the war department had
no objection. to enactment of the
bill if the damage award was
scaled down from $5000 to $4000.
He ligured Shores had lost $2726.78
in earnings, but that from this
should be deducted the $1600 Shores
