PACE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON FRIDAY, FEB. 20, 14. JJcralb anb $cUrs These Days ritANK JENKINS Editor MALCOLM EPLKY alanagliuj Editor ' " Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY HERE are hearty congratulations to the Pelicans of KUHS, certain today of a place In the state high school basketball tournament. We're proud of those kids, whose record In con ference play Is unsullied and who trounced their traditional rivals at Mcdford last night by a whop ping score. It has been a pleasure to see an outfit that wasn't given any chance by the rallbirds come up Into championship calibre. Lacking In dividual stars, the Pelicans play a steadily rising game that has over whelmed the toughest opponents. Their record Is a credit to them selves and to Coach Wayne Scott, who seems to have a habit of EPLEY turning out consistently good basketball teams. Here's best wishes to the Pelicans for a great show ing in that tournament at Eugene. Whot About Vernon? THE Oregon Voter, Portland political weekly, carried Interesting comment the other day on the situa tion In the 29th (Lake-Deschutes) legislative district, where Deschutes has foregone Its old-time gallantry and Is running a candidate for a job usually left to Lake county. Lake county folks are a little huffed over the Voter article, however, and with good cause. It went Into considerable talk about James Short, the Deschutes . ' candidate for the post, and utterly Ignored W. P. Vetnon, Lake county rancher who has filed on the democratic ticket. The Voter seemed to take It for granted that Short Is In the legislature already; it has a right to think so If It pleases, but It should have given Vernon the courtesy of notice. Short and Vernon are both good men. Short Is a republican In a county that has a substantial demo cratic majority. Vernon Is a democrat In a county that has a slim republican majority. If Deschutes democrats should decide to go strongly for Vernon, the democrat, he has a chance. (For those who may have overlooked previous com ment on tills situation, Deschutes has a representative district of Its own and shares one with Lake county. Traditionally, Deschutes has bowed to Lake in the joint district; this time it has produced a candidate. Lake people realize that they should have gotten sooner Into the field with a candidate, which may be one reason the Deschutes candidacy developed.) There Is feeling in Lake county that it should be joined with Harney, rather than Deschutes, in a joint representative district Share Of Debt SOME figuring on the $40 billion requested federal budget has been done by Oregon Business and Tax Research to determine the shares of various Oregon counties In the proposed federal government cost for the year ending June 30, 1949. The table shows that the Klamath county share is . $9,021,052. This Is based on an Incorrect population estimate (39,229) for Klamath county an under -estimation of perhaps 10,000. Therefore, the true Kiarcrth county share is a lot more than the figure given in the study. OB & T figures that the federal budget cost is $276.68 for each man, woman and child in Oregon, or a grand total in the state of $366,852320. Current population estimates for Klamath county run from 48,000 to 51,000. On the basis of 48,000, the Klamath share of the federal budget is $13,279,680. The absurd population estimate used by OB and T came from a study made by somebody up at the Uni versity of Oregon some time ago. Anyone who would claim that Klamath county's population is less now than it was in 1940 needs his head examined. Ship Picture THERE has been so much friendly interest shown in my over-publicized cruise on the navy's DSS Ajax that I've decided to show a picture of the ship here. It Is at the bottom of today's editorial columns, and the picture was taken from a postcard I purchased in the ship's store. The Ajax, a repair ship, has a dis placement of 16300 tons, is 530 feet long, and moves along at 18!? knots. By GEORGE E. SOKOI.SKY -T-HE general court of the commonwealth of Mu&sa I chusetts has before It a bill which seeks to prevent "communists and others who advocate the overthrow of government by force," from teaching in Institutions of learning. This la one of those measures proposed In haste and regretted when it is too late. It seeks to do too much. It not only forbids communists to teach but it throws the responsibility for what is taught upon Uie president of the university. Considering the nature of human inquiry and the varieties of view and debate in a university like Harvard, under the terms of tills bill President Conant would have to upend the remainder of his lite in prison. This is what the bill says: 'No person wno Is a member of the communist party or who by speech or in writing advocates Its doctrines, or who by speech or In writing advocates the overthrow by force, violence or other unlawful or unconstitutional means of the government of the United States or of tins commonwealth, shall be employed as a teacher or otherwise in any university, college, or school, public or private, or in any position in the educational system of the commonwealth or of any city, town, superlntendency union or county." We send our sons to college, I should hope, that they may have the leisure and the mental disciplines to explore human knowledge. In the field of politics, the student should know all the varieties of concepts concerning man's relationship of the state, at least from Hammurabi to Henry Wallace. That will In clude many who believed in no government " at all like Francisco Ferrer, or in mutual aid without gov ernment pressures like Peter Kropotkin. or hi Christian Individualism like Leo Tolstoy, or In the doctrine that the least government Is the best, like Confucius and Thomas Jefferson. No Utopia Found CERTAINLY, no one has yet discovered a formula for a perfect government, although Plato at tempted that in his "republic" and Aristotle laid the foundation for it in his "politics." Our constitution was not written to establish a perfect government; the founding fathers were too wise for that. They were quite satisfied with "a more perfect union." And then to make sure that no one would take the con stitution as sacrosanct, they provided for its amend ment, which we have often done, once even amending an amendment . The essential error in this bill is the emnhnsi- nr. the communists' intention to overthrow the govern ment by force and violence. Far be it from them to engage in any such physical exercises. They seek to take over our government by simple political means sucn as alliances between the communists and the democrats through the new deal, or the process of endorsement sucn as sent Vito Marcantonlo and Adam Clayton Powell to congress after winning in both the republican and democratic primaries; or they organize fronts, like the league against war fascism, which was Joined by millions of innocents and fellow travelers who were used as communist stooges. (Some of these front organizations include the very best names in America.) They would destroy us by underrnlnlng religious and moral teaching, by stimu. lating racial and religious hatred, by advocating pro Russian policies, by fomenting strikes and discontent, by playing upon the normal American dislike for war by convincing perfectly honest citizens to oppose pre paredness.

For Instance, what effect would it hare upon the gentle, professional scientist who teaches that man is a product of his environment, his attitudes conditioned by his means of earning a livelihood; that therefore there is no moral basis for action, only a struggle for existence and survival? Chew that one to a fine pulp and it can undermine our civilization more effectively than the atom bomb can explode it. But the Massachusetts bill will do nothing about that and cannot, because the truth Is not discovered by suppressing falsehood; truth Is graauai oawning on uie consciousness of man. Only those who fear the truth insist upon suppressions, purges, arrests, murders. Because we do not resort to such methods, we need never fear Stalin, who does resort to them. He has to. J.

J Feb. 19 The southern democratic revolt against President Truman will have to go a long way before It atlects voting sentiment In Uie South. President Truman is as popular with southern voters as Franklin D. Roosevelt was In the early days of his administra tion, and more popular than Roose velt was during p" office. When south ern voters were questioned dur ing January and February on their preference in various "trial heat" races for the -vote for Truman ranged between 74 per cent and 76 per cent. This compares with a vote of only 69 per cent for Roosevelt In the South in 194. A number of southern governors have threatened to withhold elec toral votes from Truman unless he modifies his demands for civil liber ties reform in the South. It is pos- i slble that these threats may In-1 '"US' h'.n. no' J li. . i fn-. more than 800 word. In length muil ' Iluence southern voters against Tru-: t. written i.iibir on one sidk o I man.

On severul occasions In recent years Uie Institute has polled South ern opinion on Uie Idea of two strong parties. Widespread support was expressed. In 1939. 87 per cent of all eligible voters with opinions said they thought the South would be better off with two effective parties. In 1943 Uie percentage roue to 59. and In 1944 to 64. However, Uie second party would have to carry a different label from that of Uie republican party. Except In border states such as Oklahoma and Kentucky and parts of Tennes see, most southern whites will usual ly not vote for anything that Is called republican. The name for a new party which would have the most popular appeal In Uie South, Judging by a 1B43 survey, would be "southern demo cratic party." with Jefforsonlan party" and "independent democratic party of the south" close seconds. .Telling The Editor of the vote. The problem facing any anti-Tru man movement in the South can be seen from Uie following Indica tions of the president's popularity there in "trial-heats" against ally to wives and families who are victims of the prosperous "open gambling dens" of Klamath Falls. This menace CAN and MUST be removed. There Is a way It's up to the dr Thomas E. Dewey, Harold E. Stas- I cfnt women of this community to n win organize a committee and close these places.

In other words, President Tru man's popular standing In the poll shows him as strong as the party ever ran In recent elections. Many southern leaders have de plored the one-sided party situation in the South, claiming that the South would be better off If It had two strong political parties.

All we can suy Is that there manifestly Is a determination on the part of many of her people to fight for their Independence. If they don't win now, perhaps some day they will win. for I don't believe you can keep them, or the Poles, or the Hungar ians, or the other liberty loving peoples of Eastern Europe In bond age Indefinitely.
