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.

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.

The World
Today
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP ForcijTJ Affairs Analyst
! ta'ta
DeWitt MacVentit
General Dwight D. 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.

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.
