FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1947 ACE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON WANK JENKINS Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM KPIEV ONE of the clearest discussions of Soviet thinking wo havo heard waa given by Alexander Brown, city attorney of Portland, at yesterday meeting of . the Klamath Klwanls club. Mr. Brown spent a long period ' with tho AMQ In Berlin, and he tells with authority a story that Is as fascinating as disturbing. Ho makes it quite clear that ccr luln terminology, used in common by the Soviets and ourselves, is as far apart as the poles In definition and meaning between us. When the Soviet says democracy, for instance, he means the dicta torship of tho proletariat. "Its first and primary purpose is to protect nnH iwiwtiinte itself." Mr. Brown said. "Therefore, there can be no EPLEY opposition and tills prohibition of opposition goes even so far as to prohibit even the thought of opposi tion . , . They feel perfectly Justified in pursuing an active policy of Incarcerating anyone whom the dicta torship thinks might be In opposition. When we read of Molotov or Vishinsky talking ot democracy, that is what they mean. Our definition of democracy is to them sheer and utter nonsense." Freedom Of Press 1 1 pREEDOM of the press" is another term that doesn't mean the same at all to the Soviets and ourselves. The Soviets think our freedom of the press, which permits criticism of the government, is treason and anarchy. Their definition of freedom of the press Is not only the right but the duty to print that which the government says should be printed, and only that. Said Mr. Brown: "Under the Soviet theory of democracy all power flows from the top down. The small and select clique which runs the dictatorship must and does have a firm and complete control over all administrative and governmental offices and agencies down to the lowest position In the smallest village. "It is not proper nor within the province of an Individual to have or express any opinion In regard to the manner or type of his government, nor would a Russian dream of having such an opinion because If he did he might In some way Interfere with the program of the Soviet state to which he la dedicated. The higher the individual is In position, ability arid education the more intense his feeling and as an Individual he is completely subjugated to the will of the state and they fanatically defend this position as being the only way in which true democracy may be achieved." The difficulty of dealing with people who talk your language but mean something else is brought out with disturbing emphasis by Mr. Brown. But It certainly Is well lor us to know that our definitions differ, lest we be led astray by talk that sounds good but is really meaningless. There is one thing Mr. Brown says we might well borrow from the Russians, and that is realism. These Days By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY THE war is over. There is no depression. There is no need for made work or for sharing the work. There is a shortage of labor in many Industries. More boys and girls are in college than at any time in American history. Yet the public payroll continues to increase. Federal, state and municipal employment, as recorded in October, 1947, but giving April, 1947, Boyle's Column Hermits Present A Major Threat To Civilized Life Bv HAL BOYLE NEW YORK, Dec 5 (P) In the great twentieth century drive to wipe out special privilege in the world, one small class has escaped legislative attention. I am speaking of hermits. Con st ess should get after these acorn aiunchlng life dodgers. The banker and the employer class claim the new deal black jacked them. Labor says it now is getting lumps on the skull from the Taft-Hartley act. Nurses complain they are overworked, schoolteachers grumble they are underpaid. Holly wood thinks it is being persecuted, housewives moan nobody appre ciates them. High prices have put us all through the wringer. It has been a rough century for every class except the hermits. How long are we going to let these fugitives from life's disorder run wild In the woods, laughing and scratching themselves and evading all responsibility? Why should the rest of us walk the treadmill of the commonplace, wearing callouses on our brains figuring out ways to pay the butch er, the baker and the candlestick manufacturer? Why, indeed, when escapees from this routine are al lowed to roam about the under brush, frightening the rabbits and confusing innocent squirrels, and with no worry except what bush their next berry Is coming from I FRIDAY EVE., DEC. 5 KFLVP Featara Sport .Lineup Home Towd News World Newa Kunimarr Tb Sheriff ABC Champion Roll Call ABO GllleUa rtfhts AOU :00 6:2ft ti:W :.- 6:55 1:15 J::itt 7:15 :( S:;10 8:45 D:.(1 Drift 0:30 8:4ft MiHXi 10:1ft 10:30 Tha Fat Man ABC Thli la Vuur F.B.I.

Hermits have had it too easy for too long. They don't have to pay In come taxes, wait on street corners for their wives, fawn on bosses, shave, take sass from children, stand still for a public opinion poll, or go to cocktail parties. The wind fans them free for nothing. A stream !s their mirror, the moon their lamp. The cricket serenades them with hi rusty-sweet fiddle, one small tune In nature's endless music. And the wood thrush never bores them with the mouldy preamble: "Stoo me If you've heard this one." H just opens hi small beak and lets go, pouring Joy from a feathered container. Whittle All M rning The possibility of a third world war never ploughs furrows In the brows of hermits, because the bul letins on the start of the second world war never reached them.

What do they all doV In April, 1940, the federal government gave em ployment to 996,000 Chilians; In April, 1947, that category reached 3,215.000. The state and local gov ernments in April 1947, show 3.683,000 employees. Go into any government office and see the feather bedding, the slipshod work. Many of the old-timers resent the newcomers who land a Job and hold It down, doing as little as possible and serving the public without Interest or concern I have been told that in some government services man' of the newcomers ara nuisances, actually getting in the way and slowing up the Jobs which the old-timers clean up after them. Many of these gentry must believe that they are not expected to work; they are expected to vote. .... Curious Situation HERE in New York, we have a curious situation: the department of welfare Is under numerous Investigations because there is obvious inefficiency, possible corruption and positive abuse of authority. The Jobs are mostly civil service Biid the remaining old-timers tell of the utilization of publio funds for propaganda purposes. Never in the worst days of Tammany Hall was anything so foul. The set-up is Uke this: the law requires the depart ment of welfare to employ specific types of social workers, sociologists and others trained In particular schools. The civil service commission prepares ex aminations, in accordance with the law, which only such persons can pass. Although for all practical pur poses, lawyers and accounants could serve more ef ficiently, the Jobs go to these social workers. They have organired a union It so happens that it Is a communist-dominated union. All grades of employees belong to the same union. Those who supervise belong to the same union as those who are supervised. Those who give the examinations for promotions belong to the same union as those who seek promotion. Those who decline to Join the union or do not go along with Its bosses do not get pro moted. In a word, a communist-dominated union runs the department Until the investigations started, the public official in charge, the commissioner, was not the master of his job: he was a sort of negotiator with the union for consent. In fact, the evidence so far shows that the union was in full charge. How true tills Is of other government departments, federal, state and municipal, I do not know. Whether such control exists even in the state department, the treasury, and other confidential agencies of govern ment, I do not know. It Is interesting that the state department fires employees for reasons of security, giving no names, and after prolonged negotiation and consideration, permits them to resign without prejudice still giving no names. II Is now reported that these nameless persons, once declared security risks, have now been re-employed In government agencies. Who arranged that and how? . Why Nor These? WHILE congress Is doing all this probing, they might, go Into this question, too. They might investigate the National Federation of Post Office Clerks, the American Federation of Government Em ployees, the National Federation of Rural Letter Car riers, the Office Employees International union, the National Association of Post Office and Railway Mail Handlers, the National Association of Postal Supervisors, the Railway Mail association, the Ameri can Federation of Teachers, the United Public Work ers of America (a merger of the State, County and Municipal Workers of America with the United Federal Workers of America), and the United Office and Pro fessional Workers of America. Some of these organizations are good, straight Ameri can labor unions; some are communist-dominated. Some of them are protective organizations of their members; some are engaged In a political conspiracy for control of government in America. Only a con gressional investigation can get the facts straight because without the power ot subpoena, it Is impossible to establish the truth. neckties, convince them they need shoes, shame them for having no bank accounts. They must be forced back to matrimony, parenthood, the we of the ballot, crowded buses, and the monotony of the daily task that must be done on the scheduled hour. Yes. hermits must be sent to the iron discipline of modern life, for at stake is civilization itself. Other wise, left free, the examnle set bv I these feckless fellows may cause ail brooding mankind some gay day to play hookv from duty en masse and ran. laughing and scratching, back into the woods forever. Hermits must be harnessed! Food Ship Plans Laid Plans for launching the "Pacific Northwest Christmas Ship," a food ship to Europe, are being made by four Northwestern states, with may ors of the cities as coordinators with state officials. It is hoped that such a ship load ed with food donated by civic club and organizations may leave port at Seattle for Europe by Christmas and the governor of each state co operating has chosen a state co ordinator who will set up a state committee to get the program under way. Mrs. Dena Backes has been named by Mayor Ed Ostendorf as Christ mas Ship coordinator for Klamath Falls. A center for donations and details of the local program will be announced as soon as they are out lined, Mrs. Backes said. SATURDAY P.

Tradi tion says that since a king is born to his high position he beloiiKs to the people. He may not abandon his tusk. So In the code of the playluit fields of KiiKlaiul, Edward has let his side downand he vu captain of the team. That was bad lor team spirit. Edward was probably the must popular Prince of Wales ever to hear tho fateful words which have run- down through the ages: 'The Kin la Dead. Lour Live the KliiK." He 1.1 credited with beinir the best 1 1 allied heir ever to don the crown. He had traveled wldel. In the do minions and knew his people better than almost an" oilier Union. Gallant III War Moreover. Edward had endeared himself by Ihe (tiillnnt part he played In World War I.

He emerged from the war as the out stnndliu: figure In the empire. Edward could have made a great name for himself as kinn and his services would have been Invaluable In the trying times which followed on the heels of his abdication. This may sound ..trail-: lit view of the fact that the British monarchy Is constitutional and the sovereign theoretically has no power. How ever, an astute king does have much Influence by virtue of his vast knowledge of Ihc empire and com monwealth.
