HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON THURSDAY, FEB. 1, 14 THANK r.NIUNi Editor 'Today's Roundup J By MALCOLM EPLEV -T-HIS Is Ire country, nd under our primary J election ytem in Oregon, unybody can run (or offlc who can legally qualify, to It It rather surprising that not more often does a situa tion occur such as lias developed in the Klamath county sheriff race. Already, the number of candi dates for that office has evidently set some sort of record for politics ill this county. It appears that Sheriff Lloyd Low has been like the little boy with his finger in the hole In the dike for all these years. All he had to do was to pull it out, and came the flood. The only trouble with a multiple candidate contest of this kind is that the voting is likely to be EPLLY spread out so thin among all the candidates that Uie winner may come through with "only a small percentage of the total vote cast. He will need only a plurality, which may be far from a maJorlty. This is, however, a primary election, and lof course, the nominees of the two parties will have to run it off in a two-way race (barring the possibility Zol an Independent candidate or two) in the fall. Looking back Into the history of local politics, we Jrecall an Interesting situation in the circuit Judge (election in 1934. Six candidates ran on that occasion. Hit was a non-partisan contest, with the two highest winning the nominations. The result: Edward B. Ashurst, 13S6: William Duncan, 1733; D. E. Fletcher, 444; William Oanong, 1305; John Irwin, 310; Arthur Schaupp, 1067. a, The total of votes cast was 6145. Duncan and Ashurst were nominated, but neither of them got a majority of the votes cast, lacking that support by a considerable figure. (In the fall, Ashurst went In, although he was second man In the primary race.) Subsequent events Indicated that the circuit judge "election in 1934 was not a very satisfactory affair. The winner was rejected on ending his first term. J This bit of political history Is recalled to demonstrate ,the need for the most careful public selection In a field of many candidates for any public office.

It was sort of an inspection; a test of roads which that morning were blanketed by a foot of snow. We found many bare, all passable. "Pleasant ride," said Fanny; "too pleasant too easy, too Uke life to day." I knew what she meant and shared her thoughts. She was think ing of genuinely snowbound Sunday afternoons of Uie 90s, when we were boy and girl sweethearts. All along the route of our ride we saw Uie difference, We passed just one sleigh; that a resurrected cutter, drawn by a dis mayed norse mat seemed tc be won dering what it was all about, as he wound his way among crowding cars with gaping occupants, many of whom never saw a cutter before. Along a populated street with a tempting grade stood a group of kids, pondering where and how to enjoy their bright new Christmas sleds. The hill had been cindered, also the next and Uie next Down those same hills, before an automobile was heard of, Jolly crowds of youngsters coasted all day long. I felt like stopping to clear away trie cinders, as my gang would had there been such an outrage a half century ago. Those were our mils then. Hopping bobs once was a Dasiime of the venturesome. It entailed risk of limb, was frowned upon by par ents and policemen. When sleighs moved fast, as many did, It was a lucky lad who escaDed with whole clothing and no scars. Occasionally a heavy sleigh crushed the foot of a youngster who misjudged his step. ine real thrill of bob-hooDlne was the adventure of a long ride out of town on the runners of a home ward bound sleigh. Probably that was Uie origin of hitch-hiking, onlv it was less certain than now. Getting way off in the sticks was relatively easy once a good natured farmer came along. Getting back was not so simple. City-bound sleighs were not numerous, accom modating drivers fewer and horse RADIO PROGRAMS la - 1240 kc KFLW 1450 13:00 News.

Since July 1, 1946, when the heavy government purchasing begun, prices have ad vanced so alarmingly that the condition pKnrcd inflation. president called congress into session, of the republican congress that we do bring down high prices. Surely Mr, Truman must have enjoyed a cynical chuckle as he prepared his measure in which he demanded that the congress give him blanket power to institute a new CPA. He knew, of course, he was sale in making the congress would do no such thing. time, however, it was a perfectly lovely with which to beat the republicans looked like a beautiful election year scheme recently began to full apart. Wheat and other basic food prices dropped, and In spite of an announcement by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson that Uie government was about to buy another AO of grain, the decline in price con as I can put Uie events together In " their proper order, here is about what happened Uie week the market broke. On Tuesday and Wednes day of that week, one or more large speculators placed orders with their brokers to sell a total of more than a million bushels of grain. Commodity prices began to sag, and on Thursday, when Uie secretary of agri culture ordered Uie government buying of wheat stop ped, Uie bottom fell out of the market. On Sunday, at the end of Uie week (February 8, the "Washing ton Star" said in a front page news story: "Secretary of Agriculture Anderson disclosed last night that in formation on government grain procurement and allocation plans reached grain markets in advance of his public announcement Thursday. The grain trade, Mr. Anderson said, then was faced with a realization that we were about through with heavy purchases. 'Reports of what we were going to announce got out', he told a reporter." The simple fact is that, when Uie government was buying under President Truman's orders as carried out by Secretary Anderson, price advanced sharply. That advance in prices has been going on for many months. When Uie government stopped buying, prices of commodities went down. The buying programs could have been handled in a way to have avoided sharp market Increases, but down Uirough Uie months, government buying has been in heavy quantities, and sharp price Increases have generally followed, each government buying order. In view of recent events, it seems as If Uie cost of living price spiral upward, which Uie president called us Into session to control, was not only substantially caused by his own buying procedure, but could have been checked by him. I say it could have been, be cause the market tumbled quickly and shaply the In stant It became known that government buying was to be cutailed. And Too Easy whips stung on cold legs, arms and sometimes faces. What sting drivers' whips didn't administer would be waiting when Uie young wanderer returned after dark, found supper cleared away and dad at Uie door with his razor strop. That his meandering offspring had trudged for hours Uirough snow drifts was no reason to kill Uie fat ted calf and celebrate the return of a prodigal. Instead It was a lacing and to bed with a crust All of this was braved to ge as litUe as five or six miles from home. Always Uie urge of youth has been to go somewhere. And the urge oi age always has been to get back. Nostalgic thoughts must have flashed independently and differ ently Uirough Fanny's mind and mine. Anyway I made an awful mis take. I could have gone on reminiscing about cutters, sleighs and frustrated youngsters. Instead I got off on old time Sunday night suppers; how the simple lunches surpassed the fuss we now make of the one meal we enjoy alone. . Tallsptnning into sobs for the old days, I also recounted Uie romance of Uie liveryman's cutter, with your best girl snuggled under a warm but smelly buffalo robe. To make it realistic I recited some specific events of my courting ca reer. Braggadocio let it slip the truth about an incident that hasn't been popular at our house for 40 years. It was out at last Fanny grinned and snapped: "So you did take her out that night after all." With that she got up and went to Uie kitchen, leaving me kicking myself around the room. When Uie usually welcome call to the festive board of Sunday night surprises sounded, I sheepishly re paired to a stingy one dish affair. "What s that?" I asked. "One of your good old-fashioned Sunday night banquets." gloated Fanny. It was a bowl of bread and milk. FRIDAY P. M., FEB. 20 kc.

Feb. 19 MV Field Marshal Wllhelm List, a grim-lipped Prussian of the old Ger man officer school, was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity today by an American tribunal.

In the trial, the records showed that List's armies killed a hundred Serbs or Greeks for each German soldier killed by partisans, and at l'-ast 50 for each nazi wounded. US, Britain Demand Military Inspection BERLIN, Feb. 19 (&h-The United States and Britain demanded the ripht today to inspect all phases of demilitarization in the Soviet oc cupation zone of Oermany. The demand was in answer to Russian insistence on the right to examine naval bases In the British zone. The demands were made at a mf-etln of the allied control coun cil's coordinating committee. The Russians charged the western al lies were frustrating demilitariza tion. No agreement was reached. The British-American stand was that Inspection of British zone nnval bases should be tied up with an overall study of the progress of demilitarization in Germany. The question still is being argued on the next hieher 'evel of allied control authority machinery.
