Today's Roundup By MALCOLM El'LKY TIME will tell whether much of n organization can be built up In Oregon for Henry Wallaces presidential campaign, but at the moment It looks highly doubtful If the Democratic party bolter can carry 5unport of consequence in this state. Locally, there appears to be virtually no sympathetic Interest in the Wallace campaign. No one has come forward as a potential local leader, although it is con ceivable, of course, that some one will as the campaign shapes up. There has been no drumbeattng among politico here for a third party or for Henry Wallace. The attitude for the regular Democratic party folk appears currently to EPLEY ignore Wallace as a guy who has overestimated a lot of things, including himself. There was evidence of considerable feeling here against Wallace at the time he openly sabotaged American foreign policy. He has never been a popular figure here. Some years ago, he went through here I believe he was secretary of agriculture then and a small crowd, mainly a curious one. showed up at the train to take a look at him on the back platform. , The fundamental question, of course, is not con cerned with Wallace as a man and a personality, but with the things he represents as a public figure. On that score, too, there is little evidence of support locally or regionally. Oregon is pretty strongly a republican state. It eame extremely close to going republican In the last presidential election. If the Wallace people succeed in splitting off a part of the democratic strength, there is litUe doubt that this state will be found in the republican column in November, 1948. .... Population Gain BETWEEN federal census years, it is pretty hard to get an accurate estimate of the population of any given area. A good many devices are used, such as water and light connections, but at best, the result ant figures can only be construed as guesses. Some of the guesses that have been made in past years have proved to be pretty far off, when the official Ease-count was made. Elsewhere in today's paper is a story telling of population estimates for Klamath Falls and Klamath county based on the school census Just completed in this area. This is probably as good a way as any of undertaking to determine how many people reside here now. The school census in the county district was an actual nose count of youngsters from 4 to 1 inclusive, while in the city, the census was estimated, as is permitted by law, on the basis of the last count made and current school attendance. School people tell us that it has been customary in the past to figure that the total population of an area is approximately four times the school census In that area. Some years ago, we tested that theory en the basis of the Oregon census population of 1940 and the school census of that year. We found it worked out. On that basis, it appears that Klamath county has passed the 50,000 mark; that Klamath Falls has a population of about 18,500, and that the population of Klamath Falls, plus the surrounding suburbs (city cone) is about 32.OO0. It is not possible to vouch for those figures, but they are as good as any that are currently available. The Doctor Says Death From Childbirth Down By EDWIN P. JORDAN. M.D. I Written for NEA Service The conquest of deaths from! childbirth has been enormously I speeded over the past few years. ' Between 1915 and 1933, about six to eight young mothers died fori every 1000 live births. Since the early 1930s, however, there has been a tremendous drop in the ; rate. The most recent figures show that there are only two deaths of " mothers in every 100 births. ', This great Improvement in the ' hazards of childbearlng is not acci- dental. It is caused by Improved . methods of caring for mothers, ' better education, and the discovery ! of new drugs. The improved methods of ma ' ternal care have been the result of , concerted efforts by physicians to 1 give more aid to mothers during I childbirth. Relief of pain is only ! one of the several advances which ' have taken place. Education has been aimed pri i marily at letting people know the WEDNESDAY EVE., DEC.

Because such care reveals many preventable conditions, it has a direct bearing on the chances of life and well-being of the mother and the child as well. Drugs Aid Fight The discovery of sulfa drugs and, later, of penicillin, has helped enor mously to cut down the danger from one of the most serious com plications of childbirth. This is childbed fever. The three factors Just mentioned are the ones principally responsible for the greater safety of child bearing today over 15 years ago. As long as there are any prevent able deaths from childbearlng at all, however, medical men will re main unsatisfied. Still greater im provement is possible, and even greater safety is to be expected. Question: I am a diabetic. My diet calls for two eggs at breakfast IIADIO PROGRAMS 31 KFJi 1240 kc.

Men enter upon war blithely, heroically. They never reallre that detent is possible, that no country has ever altogether won a war, that the cost of victory In material terms may be as unbearable as defeat. t The years Immediately following war are always difficult ones of adjustment In all phases. Economical ly, wars must be destructive. Prices rise beyond rea son, not because producers and distributors are selfish, but because shortages, taxes, public debt, the cost of adjustment, the disorganization of trade routes, the confusion In politics become burdens upon price. The current Increase In price Is unpleasant as taxes are unpleasant, but we have survived both with astonishing good cheer. Those who have criticized governmental policies concerning the adjustments and prices have been sound, but the fact remains that conditions could have been very much worse and are infinitely worse In every country in Europe except Switzerland and possibly Belgium and Holland. We have absorbed a S300.000.000.000 war in our stride In spite of errors and blundering. Two Great Gains IN the field of international politics, two great gains have appeared In 1947. One is that the deceitful, even profane alliance with Soviet Russia is at an end. No longer does our government feel obligated to lie to its own people "to cement friendship." The truth of Teheran. Yalta and Potsdam is being unfolded before the eyes of a hitherto blind-folded people. In tills connection, the presidency has been put in its proper place. The importance of this lies not in the goodness or badness of Roosevelt but rather in the strengthening of the American tradition against secret and personal diplomacy. The president is the chief exicutlve of the nation, not its master. The second gain is the obvious acknowledgement of the inadequacy of the United Nations. Nobody can be a parliament of man which employs such a device as the veto. The United Nations Is moving into a new direction, namely, as the Joint council of the anti-comlnform nations, the place where countries may counsel with each other at public sessions In the immediately lesser but permanently more substantial phases of mutual enterprise. This past year has been a trying one for those who hope to retain in the western world the Ulgnity of man a very hungry and a very tired man In most European countries. The anti-communist victory In France will stand as a symbol of the Inner strength of the western peoples. France has again proved herself the mother of liberty a weary, a worried, a frightened mother, but with spiritual resources so great that they shine through her tears. Politics WE approach what is always a trying year for the United States. We have to elect a president. Therefore, every move, every act is calculated not on a scale of eternal verity but rather on the mundane scale of what will produce the most votes. It is a foregone conclusion that the democrats will nomin ate President Harry Truman. There are no foregone conclusions about the republicans. The two outstand ing candidates are Governor Thomas E. Dewey and Senator Robert A. Taft, two competent men of fine character and extraordinary ability. Taft is favored for his outstanding knowledge in the field of federal legislation, for his forthright char acter and his philosophic outlook. Dewey is favored for his administrative ability, which is far greater than is generally encountered in public service. Neither is demagogic. Between them the republicans can make a good choice. General Eisenhower's campaign for the presidency is of a different order. The response to him is wholly emotional, for no one can say what his attitude Is on a major public question. He has avoided declaring himself while in uniform. But it is his choice that he wears the uniform even after the president has ap pointed his successor. It is not likely that he will be nominated. Other candidates on the republican side 1 do not matter yet. They may become important if Dewey and Taft deadlock each other. If that happens, they will undoubtedly support, as a compromise, a 1 republican and a civilian. : Well, that seems to be the story and on that, let us say, a good, a bold, a prosperous New Year to all! and a generous portion of meat at the two other meals. Would It be injurious for me to have just one egg a day and less meat in these days of short supplies? M.M. Answer: A strict diet for a pa tient with diabetes is calculated very closely to supply the needed food stuffs in the right proportion. It would not be wise, therefore, to change your diet without consulting your doctor. Battle of Slacks Won By Girl CAMDEN, N. Y., Dec. 31 rVj A 14-year-old eighth grade girl today won the "battle of the slacks" at I Camden Central school. John A. Litts, president of the board of education, announced the board had repealed its ban against girls wearing slacks In classes. The action followed a written pro test from Thomas Delahunt whose daughter, Jeannette, was sent home December 9 to "get a skirt to replace brown wool slacks. Jeannette had remained away from school since then. Delahunt explained he wished to dress his daughter In slacks to keep her warm in bad weather. THURSDAY P.

Sen-; ator Vandenberg is likely to touch off a republican scramble In Mich igan with a forthcoming announce ment that he does not want to be his state's "favorite son" candidate for president. Politicians long have known that Vandenberg planned eventually to ask the Michigan republican organi zation not to give him Its formal backing at the Philadelphia nom inating convention in June. There are Indications the senator will make this request In a New Year's letter to party leaders. Vandenberg Is chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. Seemingly he Intends his letter to forestall any charge that he may be influenced by personal political ambitions In his task of piloting i the long-range European recovery program through the senate.
