MONDAY, DEC. 22, 1947 PACE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. ORECON FRANK Jr.NKlNS Kauor MALCOLM Ki'i.m Managing Lanor F.PLEV Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EII.EY FAIR progress Is reported by the various Christmas lime good-will effort under way In this com munity, but there Is still much to be accomplished. The Christmas bureau organ- , .... . ,. led to consolidate and coordinate the various plans for giving to the deserving needy at Christmastime can use a lot more children's clothing. The bureau has provided for 182 children on its list. There are till 179 to go, and the greatest shortage on the supply list is In clothing. Clean, good used clothing, or new clothing. Is acceptable. Merchan dise orders for new clothing will be gladly received. The bureau can also use more supplies of food. Klamath people, who hare not yet done anything helpful in connection with this Yuletlde effort, can get In touch with the Christmas bureau at 1946 Main, or by calling No 3300. The Christmas bureau is sponsored by the Klamath County Youth Council. Its purpose is to make Christmas giving to the deserving in this community as effective as possible, with the elimination of dupli cation of effort provided through the coordinated program. Gome Hearings OUR neighbor, the Lakeview Examiner, indicates editorially that there was more heat here than elsewhere at the hearings on Oregon fish and game matters conducted recently by an interim committee of the legislature. The committee went from here to Bend. There, the Examiner says, "the course was much smoother, and, after Klamath Falls, the committee must have been amazed at the quiet and orderly manner in which the matter was discussed without a single request for commission heads to fall." Now we are not necessarily in sympathy with every comment that was made at the session here, but we challenge the Examiner's inference that the presenta tion here was "noisy" or "disorderly." We attended that meeting. There was a great deal of talk, going far into the night, but it was not disorderly. Much of it was spontaneous, some of it was unnecessary, repetitious and boresome, but as a whole it was a good way to get a good picture of what those present were thinking. It is true that there were some pretty vigorous attacks made on the game commission at the meeting here. It happened that this meeting was well covered by the press, and those attacks were thereafter well publicized. Since the meetings here and at Bend, we hare received one report that the session at Bend was much like the one here. The informant, who wrote to a sportsman here, said he attended the Bend meet ing, and was surprised to read afterwards news stories that tailed to present the real temper of the meeting. We have a lot of confidence in our newspaper friends at Bend, but It Is possible they did not have man present at the hearing there and the informa tion they received did not tell the whole story. We are Interested in knowing. These Days By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY THE third party factions consist of irreconcilable new dealers, Wallacites, communists, P.A.C., the Lewis group in labor, and those who still believe that a way to peace and friendship can and ought to be found with Soviet Russia. The leader of this amalgam Is Henry Wallace. In the senate, it will be supported by Senators Kllgore and Taylor, They hope that eventually Claude Pepper and Elbert Thomas of Utah might Join them. In tho house of representatives they have Vlto Marcantonlo. The maximum strength that the third party hopes to produce for 1948 Is 8.000.000 votes. That will bt more than enough to defeat Hnrry Truman for the presidency. The objective Is to defeat Truman. Then the democratic party would be split and broken as the republican party in 1933. Wallace and his group, being tightly organised, would then step In and take control of the machinery of the democratic party with possible accretions of power In the 1950 congressional elections and with real possibilities In Ml. Oppose Truman THE third party groups are opposed to Truman because they are convinced that he is essentially a conservative American who Will not succumb to the blandishments of Soviet Russia. They won over Hnnnegan by arithmetic: then Hnnnrgun lost his in fluence over Truman. They manipulated Gael Sulli van by scaring him with tho bogey of Henry Wallace and they even pushed Truman Into false moves, but in the end Attorney-General Clark published a partial and doctored list of subversive organlrations contain ing some very dead ones. Nevertheless, a list was formally published. Al though they managed to impede the full enforcement of the loyalty edict. It nevertheless stands as an order to be enforced effectively whenever Truman so desires. The pattern Is clear that Truman might appease Wallace but he will not accept his palskles. So. they are out for Truman's scalp. The third party does not object to a republican victory in 1948 because they are convinced that the depression which they anticipated for 1946 and which has not yet arrived must sooner or later come. They believe that it is inevitable before 1952. If the republicans are In power when the depression comes, it will serve them well. Then they will be able to say that the republicans are responsible for the depression. They know that the public always blames the party on the spot. By killing off Truman, breaking up the democratic party and associating the republican party with an "inevitable" depression, they slaughter three birds with one stone, which is a wonder to behold. Then they will be in power forever ' Wallace Red Hope TO the communists, Henry Wallace is the Kerensky of the American revolution He can serve as a vehicle to restore them to places of authority and may even bring them to power. Wallace is now so sur rounded and his mind has been so conditioned that it is doubtful whether he has any will of his own left. Certainly, he has cut all his bridges and Is now their slave. Wallace, as president, would do their bidding not as completely as Tito. Pauker, Togliattlor Thorez but sufficiently to satisfy them at this stage. Once in power, they could force him to obey or they could throw him out as they have Mikolajczyk of Poland, Nagy and Pfeiffer of Hungary. This Is the pattern that is now being developed and it may alter the entire campaign. The republicans want Senator Taft as president because they are convinced that he is the most competent man In their party. An element exists among republicans that fears, first that Taft cannot be elected and secondly, that because he Is forthright and strictly honest, he would say something during the campaign that would defeat him and also many republican congressional candidates. Should Wallace run as a third party candidate, the republican election will be assured. Therefore, these particular assumptions concerning Taft's candi dacy would go by the board. Under such circum stances, he is likely to be nominated. At any rate, that Is the reaction of the moment A third party ticket would kill off all republican candidacies except those of Taft and Dewey with Taft the favorite. The next month may tell the story. SIDE GLANCES Boyle's Column Cancer-Stricken Child Awaits The Inevitable By HAL BOYLE YONKERS, N. Y. OPj There is a stranger at the door of a small base ment apartment here, and he isn't Santa Claus. The stranger is death. He had been waiting at the threshold for so long now that Thomas and Lila Linehan have almost reconciled themselves to the time when he will enter. Their three-year-old daughter, Peggie Ann, knows that he is com ing for her, but she doesn't quite understand what it all means. The endless lethargy she soon will know already has slowed her. But she Is looking forward hap pily to a Christmas party. She doesn't remember she already has had her Christmas party three weeks ago, when it seemed the stranger at the door could be put off no longer. The mother told me about it In the small family living room, bright with Christmas decorations, as Peg gie Ann played listlessly on a sofa with her 18-month-old sister, Judy. Mrs. Linehan, a slim, dark-haired girl, is Canadian. She met her hus band while working with the Red Cross in Alaska, where he was sta tioned with the American air forces. She came here four years ago. one of the first war brides. Tom Line han works in a fish store here. In September. 1946, an operation on Peggie Ann disclosed cancer and the young parents were told their child's condition was hopeless. Early this month she was stricken again and hospital physicians said they didn't expect Peggie Ann to live. "That night Father Gallagher of our parish gave her the last rites," said Mrs. Linehan "Her feet were icy cold. Her body was dead, but her heart still beat. "The next morning she came out of her coma by the will of God. The doctors let us take her home to ." Just then Peggie Ann lifted her grave brown eyes, and the mother finished the sentence softly: "Home to d-i-e." She spelled the last word. "We had the Christmas party for her on December 10th. We had a fine Christmas tree, but we couldn't get her many things because the money has all gone for medical ex penses. There was a small doll and a toy piano, some picture books and the neighborhood children brought her some gifts. "But she was weak and slept most ! o? the time. She doesn't remember ! the party." I Peggie Ann, dressed in pajamas and a yellow robe figured with red : apples, looked up and said : "I want my dollie." Her mother got it. The child calls her doll I "Little Judy" to distinguish it from her sister, who Is "Big Judy." "She lives only on ginger ale now," said Mrs. Linehan. "She drinks two quarts a day. That Is all her stom ach will hold, except for some vita mins and a little candy now and then. "She suffers at night and the doc tor left me something to quiet her when the pain is too bad. She knows what is going to happen. Often In the evening when she feels bad she says. 'Daddy, I think I'm dying. I'm awfully sick. But I don't want to go to the hospital.' ' Peggie Ann, holding no memory of the Christmas she already has had, is expecting more presents for her doll a small cradle, a toy re frigerator and some tiny pots and pans "so I can cook meals for Lit tle Judy." Her mother said that, despite the family budget situation, some way would be found to get the toys 'f Santa Claus comes In before the stranger at the door. "The doctor says she may go any time in her sleep now," said Mrs. Linehan. "We're Just grateful we've had her this long."

STATIC By EDNA KILLMEYCR Ssturday. Marjorle Eagle, KFLW receptionist, came Into the newsroom and asked, 'Whose turn Is It to write Static next week?" I glanced up Innocently to find dead silence and everybody looking at me, so-o-o-o. I'm blaming It all on Marj. Both, studios are making with Christmas tidings right now. At 9:30 tonight, Monday, LW will carry a program of Christmas musical selections from the First Presbyter ian church. Organ music will be played by Mrs. George Mclmyre. and there'll be a quartet, consistlni of Erlene Wheeler, Marian Mcln tyre. Colleen Creswell and Marie Casjens. doing special vocal num bers. Erlene and Marian will also do some solo work. Then, down the street at JI, they have Santa Claus doing his regular evening stint at S o'clock. KFJI will also carry the Girl Scout Christmas tree lighting ceremony from the courthouse lawn. That's at 7 p. m., and Immediately following at 7: Id a music group from Sacred Heart academy will sing the old favorite carols. I've been worried about a col league and Static ed. of a week or two back, Lois Stewart. She's been planning for weeks to lake an after noon off for some Christmas shop ing. but something else Is always Interfering unless she hurries we're 'frald Lois will be doing her Christmas shopping In time for Valentine's Day. Then, there's the Sage of Ala bama, Hale Scarbrough, sports edi tor and immediate past Static writer. He's having troubles, too. A while back. Hale came home, rattled the door knob gently to signal the girl taking care of his pride and heir to let him In. The sitter was asleep on the Job It seems, and Hale spent the next half hour banging and thumping and wishing he had his door key. When he did rouse the sitter, she was so afraid of all the rumpus that she wouldn't let him In! The next sight and sound to greet the neighbors was papa yelling his lungs out to let her know who he was. Yule Skiing Will Be Good Folks that -find new ski equipment under the tree Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, were assured of excellent skiing at Crater Lake natlonnl park over the holidays. Six Inches of fresh snow fell Sun day and visitors to the park reported a fairyland of beauty. There is every chance In the world, rangers ! told The Herald and News, that there should be fine skiing for the rest of the week. Eighty-eight cars carrying :I19 people visited the park Sunday. The maximum temperature was 30 de grees, minimum 15 early this morn ing. Roads are Ice and snow covered and chains are mandatory from Annie Spring to the rim. The ski tow will not ojierate Christmas Day but will be In serv ice Saturday and Sunday. 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. There will be a light lunch available Christmas Day and the usual full meal Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Rangers reported one accident, a painful burn on the left arm received by lff-year-old Dick Harrison of Medford. son of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Harrison of that city. Dick was re moving the cap off the car radiator when he was severely scalded. Rang ers gave first aid and Dick was sent home immediately In the company of friends. The World Today Not long ago, Mrs. Ed Miller, a neighbor of ours and wife of LW's night man, asked us a plaintive "Would you consider selling your dog?" We were at the same time flattered and startled. Seems that the Millers' very cute twin boys have taken a decided fancy to our Tip, and simply must have him or a pup like him. Our answer? We gave Tip an extra ration ot dog food that night. The lower lid covers most of the eye in blinking In a reindeer; in humans, the upper lid does most of the covering.

By DKW1TT MACKr.N.IrS Al Forelgi Affulm Analval Each passing liny since the allure of the Ulg Four foreign iiilulsti'i'H' conference In Loudon It has uivimio luuro nnd nunc clear thai U. B. Secretary of statu Marshall ren dered democracy a iiolablo service by calling for atljcrumrut, thereby forcing acceptance (he fact that the parley long had been ilciid on Its leel and was merely being used as a dummy for Soviet propaganda purposes. While the ronlereucp dragged on, Moscow was getting ahead with lis officially declared war against the Marshall plan. With the meet mil out of the way as an ackiinwlrdKcil flop, the western allies have been able to concentrate on developing their program tor the rehabllltallon and defense of Western Europe as a counter-move against a llercely aggressive and determined commu nism. Mil Three Now It's no longer the Illg Four. It's the Big One Russiaversus (he Illg Three America. Ilritain and France. For the slroiiK-aun ellorls of bolshevlsm to secure control ol the Paris governtn' have forced France to abandon her mlddle-ol-the-road course toward Mixscow and come over completely Into the Amerleau-Diitlsh camp. So the battle is swelling between the two EuniM's East and West. As Secretary Marshall said in his broadcast last Friday nlchl. "Until the result of this struggle bccmurit clearly apparent, there will continue to be a very real illfflriilty to solve, even on paper, agrard terms for a treaty of peace." Meantime all hope of an early unification of Germany - so im portant to the economic recovery of Euroe must be abandoned. The indications are that America. Brit ain and France will combine their tones of Western (lermanv Into a polltlro-coonomle unit, while Russia j will continue In possession of the rlrh Eastern Reich. The Soviet Union Is going all-out I to consolidate Eastern Europe. ! In this connection a European ; foreign minister yenterdav tnld Arthur Oavshon. member of the As. sorlated Press staff In London: New Po;rer "Tightened xllt!cal and economic ties between these communist -led countries mf Eastern Europe! will unite 80 to M million people and in effect will mean that a great new jiower has arisen In Europe." That may be. but we shouldn't try to put a tapc-niraure on this new power until we see how It de velops. Before Eastern Enrol ,.Hn become formidable, there must be tremendous Industrial expansion. I spent considerable time in Cen tral and Eastern EurojM- and the Balkans Just before the war. Virtu ally all that area was under llltlrr lan domination and the Fuehrer had so developed economic relations that Germany provided manufactured products for all thr e states while they In turn supplied the reirh with raw materials and agricultural pro ducts. These small countries were dependent on Germany economical ly, and consequently politically. Russia now has supplanted Ger many politically In this great area, but the Soviet hasn't replaced tho Reich Industrially. Moscow still Is a long way from being able to meet 1947 Payroll Sets Record For Oregon HALK.M, Dec.
