It began last spring when the teed spud was planted. The weather was dry then, and tne . seed was attacked by rot But it courageously sent up a vine, which began a hopeful growth when wet, cold weather hit it. That ', encouraged an attack of rhizoc- - tenia, which Is bad. About the time our plUIul Utile vine was in an advance stage ot convalescence from that, it re- ' celved a smashing blow Irom one : of the worst June freezes In years. EFLET The story Is heart-wringing, but there is one encouraging note: In spite of all that misfortune, the vine still lives 1 Only a Klamath basin potato plant could take a beating like that and survive to produce tubers which, incidentally, may bring a pretty fair price this year In view of the general shortage. . a a a They'll Be Down NOW let's pray for that frost-free August and early September which, Charley says, may add ' a somewhat rosier shade to the sorry picture he paints. But no matter what happens, Klamath basin potato shipment statistics are going to look strangely small in the coming year. The deep acreage eut made that certain from the start, and what has happened since, as has been so graphically described by Mr. Henderson, has merely further reduced esti mates already well under the amazing volumes of recent years. What Mr. Henderson ventures as a likely figure tor the potato shipments of 1M7-48 is 6000 carloads. In recent years, they have been around 12.000 carloads. However, 6000 carloads are not to be- sneered at, specially If there if a strong price situation. That's really a lot of potatoes. We can well remember one of those economic conferences held here back In the early 'thirties when the crop outlook committee came in witii . recommendation that basin potato production be stabilized at around 6000 carloads! Expanding land use, improving production per acre, and that growing market in California, have altered the picture considerably since that committee report was made But recalling that recommenda-' Hon puts a somewhat different perspective on the 6000 carloads which Mr. Henderson says is the likely shipment figure for the coming season. a a a a Oregon Picture AT our service club meeting yesterday. Standard Oil company presented a moving picture about Oregon. Photographically, and from the standpoint of pro cedure and method, it was Just about the best effort of the kind we have seen. The narrative was only fair, and the Interjections by some guy listening to the narrator were corny. But that didn't spoil a mighty fine comprehensive colored pictorial story of the state we are happy to call home. By PAIX MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 The republicans brought themselves out of their first new leadership session of congress in greater unity than any politi cal party has. achieved since long before the new deal. Defections generally drew only three of their senators. This was accomplished by a peculiar inner system of organization. Normally steering committees are bossed by one or two men, but the republicans made theirs truly representative of the party. For tn rtance in the house, Speaker Martin was boss, but he worked closely with Floor Leader Halleck (which la not unusual), and they both cooperated genuinely j with a steering committee, which made many de cisions to which both Martin and Halleck were op posed. This la unusual. In the senate, the re publicans had a policy committee headed by Senator Taft, which functioned a little less as a unit, but held frequent meetings in which freshmen senators were given full1 representation for the first time. Out ot this system of operating from the grass roots up. instead of from a top leadership down (as Mr. Roosevelt did), came the dominant party char, cateristic of their first session. a a Under Cover NOW this guiding conimittee-leadenilup had an operating system which was kept completely under cover. They had a two-pronged base policy from the start. They strove A to keep down the amount of legislation, selection only the bare es sentials for beginning a new policy era for the country, and IB) to get away from emergency and -must"' legislation into which Mr. Roosevelt trapped them -with so much hasty action, preventing them from going to the bottom of things studiously. (Thetr delay on the union reform baj was deliberate.) Nothing was said about this yardstick. They kept the democrats from knowing their formula. But they feel rather good now about the way It worked out They had some failures, conspicuously on economy. This "has been advertised. The house republicans wanted to cut $6 billion, the senate M'r billion, and all they both got was a debatable cut of $3.7 billion. The trouble on this was that alter the house really slashed appropriations, the pressure groups turned on the steam and the senate had to put many back. When the house cut further flood control we have spent billions already for this). the Mississippi valley basin and the Missouri basin got together even with Pennsylvania, and their com bined pressure on the senators was too much to withstand. The western states did the same thing against cuts in reclamation: the farm organizations with agricultural appropriations, although agriculture is in its greatest year. - Combined local state pressure groups thus pre vented important economies in expenditures which the new dealers had been building up through the years (logrolling is what this formerly was called), a Rent Control Issue ' NONE of the republicans, even the logrollers, were genuinely satisfied with this failure of economy, so a committee was appointed of men who know government like Herbert Hoover and Joseph P. Kennedy, (men who could operate beyond . these pressures) to go through government during the recess, and tell the next congress which inefficient, wasteful and purely political costs ' can be cut This committee is In a position to furnish the necessary objective Impetus to overcome the political necessities of logrolling. What is apt to hurt the republicans more than the failure ot economy is their series of exemptions granted in rent controls, while continuing control Itself to next March 1. Their idea was to promote building, by allowing enough rent Increases to make, building profitable. If we get building out of it now, the (republican move will be considered a great success. It not much building develops, and gouging by landlords starts instead, the republicans are quite likely to come back next winter to rescind their action and adopt rent control strongly. Thus the two major defects within their program hich were unsatisfactory to the decentralized com mittee leadership, are apt to prove temporary and may be corrected at the next session in January. SIDE GLANCES Boyle's Column Midshipmen Now Have An Easier, Maybe, Course By HAL BOYLE ANNAPOLIS, Md, VP) -Midshipmen at the U. S. naval academy are being treated less like pistons and more like men these-days. The century-old center of Ameri can naval training Is streamlining its teaching program and giving its midshipmen more freedom In order to prepare Uncle Sam's future fleet officers for the broader demands of the post-war world. The old tradition Oi rigid disci pline that practically ordered every moment of a midshipman's life from the day he entered the academy un til the day he graduated goes back many decades. It developed slowly from the founding period In 1845, when cadets were boisterous and diffic-lt to con trol. For evening fun then they often grabbed up pokers and en gaged in pitched battles with the Annapolis citizenry. Once they hanged a mathematics teacher in effigy and escaped court-martial for insulting a superior officer only by pointing out that he was a civilian. So congress made him an officer and raised his pay MOO a year. Few Graduated The cadets of that day took their shore education so lightly that only 269 of the first 1209 admitted ever graduated. But the thumb of authority grad ually came down more heavily as standards were raised. Some critics complained that the martinet-like discipline tended to Iron out the In dividuality and initiative the mid shipmen would need if they ever commanded ships in battle. They said thrrre had developed too big a gap between the rigid and precision regulated life the midshipmen led In the academy and the more flex ible human give-and-take life that awaited them In their future ca reers. Rear Admiral Jame L. Holloway Jr., present academy superintend ent, wants to close that gap. A forward-looking c ;ator, he also is placing new emphasis in the An napolis curriculum on the humani tiessuch as economics and govern mentin the belief that the mid shipmen should study technical spe cialties in the navy post-graduate school. "But of course the curriculum is still pointed toward a sea career," a senior officer pointed out. Air Combat The importance of air combat is also being increasingly stressed, and one officer said: "It's not that we plan to train pilots here, but they must be thor oughly Indoctrinated in the import ance of air as a second ocean. Air must be in their soul just as the seas was in the soul of the old salt water sailor." Old line admirals need have no fear that the midshipmen are being coddled. The normal high academy discipline is being- maintained, but Holloway feels that midshipmen will develop qual'i'es of leadership better if given more personal re sponsibility in their 'conduct , One custom that has been aban doned is that of marching silently to classes in drill step formation to the beating of a drum. The middles are also being allowed more week end leaves, enabling them to keep in closer touch with civilian, life. Another innovation that has worked out well Is a closer linking up with their future fellow officers of the army, the cadets at West Point. ' Midshipmen and cadets spend two weeks each summer in joint amphibious landings, and also each RADIO PROGRAMS C:00 6:15 6:25 :(. 7:0(1 7:1ft ?:30 8:1.1 8:30 8:45 V:15 :30 t:45 I0:( 10:1ft 10:30 11:00 I I :(!.. 11:30 1 1 :4ft FRIDAY EVE., KFLW Feature fiport Lfnenp Home Town New World Newi Komrfiiry The) Sheriff ABC Cham pi oo Roll Call ABC uiucue fifhtt abc Army- Air Forect Ann. v.

While so discoursing. It is a good time to give the second- reason this column does not mention soap operas. This type of program, be ing perennial by nature, does not lend itself easily to publicity. There car be little unusual going on of a sensational or newsworthy nature during the 1531st broadcast of "Jack's .Wife's Uncle's Other Nephew." Therefore, advertising agencies practically never feature soap opera blurbs. The word "prac tically'' Is used here .simply as a protective measure. Actually. I've yet tosee a blurb of thia nature. Tomorrow you will read my third and last reason. . ' Fur those of you who are real early birds, here la a program for you this Vimlng Sunday.

This Bunday they will render "Quartet In " Minor. Opus B5" by Bethovcn. For those of you who are not particularly fond of music on the somber side, of which I am one. this particular work Is not recommended. However, the program promises several other selections. Devers On Road Group SALEM. Aug. 1 A'i J. M. Devers. ' attorney for the state hlRhwuy com I mission, was appointed today by j the American Association of Btate ' Hlghwny Ofllclals to serve on a j committee to study toll road con- struction and operation. j4 Devers said the purpose of the committee Is to develop a policy on : toll roads, which now are being built by several states. If the committee j recommends toll roads, then it will recommend imtform legislation on I the subject. The federal government does not I provide financial aid tor construc ; tlon of toll roads.

The socialist program still calls for na tlonalluitlon of Iron und steel, and the coal-gas Industry, during the i remaining three years of the pres ent government a life. If this program Is uchlcved II will mean, according to govern ment estimates, (he nationalisation of 30 per cent of business, leaving 10 per cent In private hands.
