CHARLEY HENDERSON'S picture ol the Strug -glint
Klamath potato tine, u painted In his
story on our farm page yesterdsy, ws enough to
brum tears to the eyes nd no
kidding.
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.

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.

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

Last night I had the misfortune
of being obliged to listen to a pro
gram easily as bad as "Lights Out."
It was called, and rightly so. the
"TfVeird Circle" all who heard it
will agree It was weird, and how
circular can weird get? Jam being
fair In this matter, as promised
some columns back, and it Is with
this full knowledge that I predict
the "Weird Circle" will some day
be widely known as very Inferior en
tertainment. 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. Brace
yourself, you'll have to pry them

It. It Is called "Fine Arts Quartet",
and presumably features a musical

render "Quartet In " Minor. Opus

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.
