Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY WHAT looked a It It might be l perfunctory primary election In Klamath county la rapidly developing Into an active competitive affair, chiefly due to the announcement by Sheriff Lloyd Low that he would not seek re-election. As this la written, at least four persona have de clared themselves for the republican nomination for snerlix Uie nouor mr eiium decided he didn't want again. There may be others before the filing deadline March 13. Sheriff Low has served for 24 years In the office of sheriff, and for three years was a deputy under his lather. His long service proved pretty well that Mr. Low was the -kind of sheriff Klamath county wanted" and that was usually his campaign platform. He was one of the best vote-getters in the history of Klamath politics due to his manner of conducting his office. EPLEY bis rough-and-ready personality and the tilings about him that made people like him. The quick Interest shown In the campaign after Mr. Low'a announcement Indicates that a qualified man will be chosen to step Into Lloyd's shoes. But It wont teem the same without Lloyd Low as Klamath county sheriff. He got to be an Institution. e e Portland Sensation AT Portland, the City club has made sensational charges that gambling, prostitution and bootleg ging are receiving police protection for a price In that city. The City club charges are contained In a report that followed a long Investigation by a group of citizens. It undoubtedly will get the consideration of the Multno mah county grand ury, which can hardly Ignore It. The Information offered by the club does not Include any names of police officers or public officials receiving money, but presumably the club had facts on which to base a statement to the public The incident further shows that when gambling and other law violation la openly In evidence, there is' always strong suspicion of public officers and public officials with legal authority In that municipality. The Portland club's report was not so much concerned with the presence in that city of vice and gambling as with the evidences It found of corruption in government and law enforcement. That is a matter that needs the attention and vigilance of every community in which gambling exist and that Is Just about everywhere. These Days By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY Twas Ever Thus LORD LINLITHGOW, chairman of the Midland bank, the largest private bank in England, has this to say: "The first step towards solving a problem is to see It clearly, to assess Its magnitude and to vUuallte Its Implications, and here a marked advance can be recorded; for hardly anyone now dissents from the view thai the postwar program of reconstruction and Improvement had outrun the nation's resources, human, material and financial. The seemingly almost miraculous achievements of war had led perhaps to over-estimation of the effort that could be sustained when the extremity of peril had been passed. Possibly, moreover, the assistance extended by the United States and Canada essential to any plan of full economic recovery had made the task appear less gigantlo than . In fact It was, having regard to the Inroads made by the war upon our physical capacity for production and our external financial assets." In a word, the planners planned too much. The professors and the experts set targets for themselves, targets which may or may not he realities, targets which have not even a theoretical basis.. They were mystical targets based on faith and hope but pro pounded by materialistic socialists. They always look good In the blueprint stage, but when It came to balancing income and cost, the blueprints did not work. e e e e Anything Con Interfere IT is not only war that Interferes with rcete plans. It Is everything: too much rain, too little rain, bliz zards when coal and oil are lacking; psychological disturbances which produce lack of confidence. Almost anything can upset the best-laid plans of men. of gov ernments, of authors of learned dissertations. One does not need to go to England to learn that truth. Here in this country, the commodity market goes sour: not distressingly sour, but bad enough to give the stock market and the politicians a fright. The smart boys had it all worked out that they could keep all the balloons up high wages, prices, farm prices, rents, taxes everything that give the appear ance of good times until, at least, after election day. Then would come another day and another story. Well, It Is not working out that way. It Is not clear at this moment how It is working. The Marshall plan, the budget, the tax-bill all have to be studied again In view of the altered psychological attitude of the buying public Buyers are waiting for lower prices. There are expenditures which are essential and pressing: food when one Is hungry; heat when one Is cold; clothes when one Is in tatters. Such expenditures must be made whatever the price as long as one has something to pay. Black market, gray market, any market Is the same when these essentials press hard. There are other expenditures which are postponable. For Instance, a trip to Miami may be very Important and delectable. If the cash Is available and the hope for the future high. But It is possible to live, even to be happy, without a trip to Miami. So the hotelkeepers down there are bewailing their fate and Hialeah isn't what it used to be. e e e e Psychology THE same Is true about refrigerators, radios, washing machines, $30 neckties, automobiles, all sorts of things. They are all postponable If the psychological situation develops that way. For good times are as much psychology as economics and so are bad times. Why are people not so sure these days? Has the backlog In construction been filled? Have all the 1B39 and 1940 cars been replaced by new cars? Have we filled all the orders for new machinery? No. We have enough backlog to produce a wonderful prosperity. But there Is a loss of confidence in government. In the administration, in the personnel of administra tion. There Is a rising resentment at the confusion In side the administration. The country Is sound; the backlog of orders Is sufficient to keep us going If wages and prices and taxes an Inflation produced by gov ernment policy would level at a reasonable point But the country Is weary of politicians who play ducks and drakes with foreign relations, with the national econo mies, with prices and subsidies. There Is no hope in that; therefore there is no confidence.

The Doctor Soys Mother's Milk Still Best By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Written for NEA Service The natural source of food, dur ing the first few months of life, 1; the mother's milk. Until recent years. It was assumed by most peo ple that this was the best source of food for the new-born Infant, and certainly most children not fed in this way did not thrive nearly as well as those who were. Because specialists in children have done so well in working out methods for feeding Infants with cow's milk, to which various other substances had been added, some mothers have lately come to the conclusion that It la hardly worth while to try to nurse Infants di rectly. Although it is true that many infants do well when not fed on their mother's milk, it Is not true that breast milk Is-no better than any other form of Infant feeding. Breast milk, as a specific food for babies, contains proper quantities of the food elements necessary for good nutrition In the early months -of life. Some physicians feel that there Is an emotional value, both to the mother and the baby, In breast feeding. This question has not been entirely settled, although It does seem likely. On the other hand, a child who is not breast fed is by no means certain to develop emotional problems. There are some occasions In which nursing the infant is not ad visable, because of some condition of the mother, because the Infant was premature and too weak to suck satisfactorily, or because the amount of milk is Insufficient for the needs of the infant. In most such cases, nursing Is desirable for at least a while, but additional feedings are required. ECONOMICAL FOOD Human milk, as a food, still re mains the best kind of milk for young Infants, although It may not supply complete reeds after the first few weeks. Breast milk has some value in building up resist ance of the infant and Is economi cal and time-saving in the house hold. It is undoubtedly the safest and best infant food in most cases. e e THE DOCTOR ANSWERS QUESTION: Does nervousness cause a person to have a gastric condition? ANSWER: It is recognized that nervousness has a great deal to do with the stomach. In ul cer of the stomach, for example, an emotional upset often brings about a recurrence ot the condition. Six life - saving minuses, extra minutes of consciousness for fight ing death when oxygen is gone while a man Is flying or fighting In the stratosphere, can be worn by pre vious acclimatization to oxygen lack. Chinese Reds Hold Marines SHANGHAI. Feb. 18 UP) The Chinese communists demand a "neutral" go-between to arrange a parley for release- of four American marines they hold captive. This information was taken to Tsingtao by a wartime intelligence officer, Capt Biistow, who met the reds In the little Shantung port of Haiyang two weeks ago. A reliable Informant told this story today: Brlstow landed from an Amer ican destroyer in a small boat. He met a communist spokesman on the beach. The American, who speaks Chinese well, was told the four marines were safe and well. He asked for their Immediate transfer to the ship. The communists re plied that this would have to be arranged by "a neutral delegate." Brlstow. 28, is from Santa Bar bara, Calif. Adm. Charles M. Cooke Jr., com mander of U. S. naval forces In the Western Pacific, and U. 8. Ambas sador John Leighton Stuart are scheduled to meet In Nanking within 24 hours to discuss the next step. Cooke presumably will acquaint the ambassador with Bristow's story, and will report any conditions the reds may have attached to the marines' return. Alfalfa may some day be grown as a source of food for humans. It is rich in proteins.

Elsenhower In his fmal report as U. S. army chief of staff emphasizes thai the solidar- 1 1 y developing among the peo ples of North and South Amer ica Is a signifi cant contribu tion to security In this hemi sphere. That is a grat ifying appraisal double grati fying because it comes from the man whose strategy figured heavily In the winning of the late war. However, he obviously isn't telling us this as an Invitation to complacence. On the contrary, he Intends It as encouragement for a strengthening of hemispheric soli darity, because he also gives this grave warning: If the Mediterranean nations should lose their Independence to totalitarianism, "war x x x would be close to us." And again: MiliUnt Party "Our traditional friends in West em Europe are in straitened circum stances and some are threatened with strangulation by a militant political party whose obvious pur pose is to promote chaos and insur rection for the advantage of an alien Ideology. Were those countries to give up the good fight for our com mon heritage of liberty, and become the pawns of totalitarianism. Amer ica's security would be In dire dan ger." In short. If the democracies should lose the "cold war" In Europe to aggressive totalitarian communism, the western hemisphere would be next in line of attack. That danger surely ought to be enough to make the nations of North and South America pull together. From the military stamiKmt solidarity menus this, to quote Elsenhower: "It Is evident x x x that a pmeii- tuil aggressor against any imlUm In culler continent would hesitate to : launch an attack which he believed would provoke coordinated, hemis- pherlc defense." The general also kiius out that the western hemisphere is linked with the British commonwealth and Western Europe in common basic ! purpose. The bonds among these : nations "weigh heavily as a stablliz- lug influence" toward world peace. It would be a formidable task for any power to defeat the democracies If they stand together. So hemispheric solidarity is vital lo security. That is the clear writing on the wall, and any nation which disregards It is Inviting trouble not only for Itself but for Pan-America.

The Gallup Poll Poll Shows Minimum Wage Boost Favored lly (.lOKI.E CAl.l.l r Director, Ainerlrall lliktitute of Publieatlun Opinion l-KINCflXIN. N. J.. Feb. 13 Two out of three voters believe congrttas should puss legislation ruining the minimum wugo for workers to 75 cents n hour (rum the present level of 40 rents. President Truman in Inn stale of the union s'ch lust month urged the lawmakers to lake tills slep. Last Muy a bill embodying the proposal was in troduced In the house by Repre sentative Ocruld W. Lumtls. In diana; 11 Is now in the house committee on education and labor. RcprcsrniulKo voters in every stale were In terviewed by Inslluiui Held reporters nnd asked litis question: . prraeill the minimum wage that can be paid lo workers in every state, lit moat busllieaaes and in dustries is -10 cents un hour. Till niraiia that all peraoui working III such bUftlncMtca, hi every state. In dulling )umis people wtiu have never worked before, cannot be puld leas than 40 cents un hour. Would ou approve ur disapprove of rata Ing Ihla minimum to 73 rrnta un hour?" The vote; Kalse .Minimum Muse . Don't KalM- '-! No opinion & The proportion of voters wanting something done ubout boosting min imum wuges has remained stea.ly during the past two years. In March. 1946. when the ptoposcd Inrrcnse was only lo 65 cents an hour, an Identically worded question resulted in practically the same percentages as today's poll. Since that tune the public has watched food prices mount and seen organized labor obtain two rounds of wage increases, all of which probably tends to confirm the aver age voter's view toward wuge mini mums. Farmers and professional and business people give the proposed boost the least hearty support, while manual workers vole better than five til one In approval. Union members, whose wages In general are above nunlniums, ure even morn strongly In lavor than unoiganled workers. Seven out of ten demo cratic votera approve, compared to six out of (en republicans. One third of the voters feel that a beginner's earnings these days shorld bo between 10 cents mid II nil hour. This Is revealed In the answers to a different question asked of a comparable cross-section. These voters were asked: "What would you say the mini mum wage per hour should lie today for a single person, Just graduated from high school, and starting nut ul a beginner's Job In a factory In this area?" The answer: l.eeu Ihun 40 cents lre 40 rente lo 71 cents 39 7s eenla to il 33 SI or over I No answer 7 When asked to give the muln rea son for the figure they mentioned, miksi voters named the current high costs of living. progiuiiis limn Ilia Medford gym, aim ling ul B:)'' Frlduy and Bsturdevi nights.
