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.

How It Went
A S nearly
Life Today Proves To Be
Too Soft
By FRANK TRIPP
we nad just returned from a
Sunday afternoon automobile ride.
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

wage In most Industries, so the general
price levels advanced. 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.

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.

Nazi General
Convicted
NUERNBERG. Germany. 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.
He was convicted for his conduct
as commander-in-chief during the
nazi occupation of the Balkans.
Gen. Walter Kuntze, one of List's
atmv craun chiefs, nn u-n fminrt
I guilty by the tribunal, which ruled
in the course of its final judgment
that these men should have known
better than to carry out orders to
sipughter hostages beyond the limit.-
allowed by military law.
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.

must remind ourselves again that
the cold war wasn't of spontaneous
origin. As this column has pointed
out before, It Is a part of boLshe-
vlsm's thirty-year-old program of
world revolution for the establish
ment of communism. It Is a project
which never will cease until either
(11 communism succeeds In over
running the world, or 12) the red
advance Is halted by a material
barrier like the Marshall plan, for
example.

It Is true that In Kuroie the com
munist drive has slowed down to a
crawl. However, this is due to the
fact til it Moscow already has taken
over all the countries In which It
had armed forces and thus Is In
complete control.
No, I don't believe Moscow Is su
ing for peace. It might well be that
the Soviet U'llon will reach a point
where, for a change. It will be will
ing to make a concession here and
there. However, such concessions
won't be for altruistic reasons but to
provide easement for Russia In some
