That comment Is lmpired by experiences of last night, when homeward bound from Eugene, we fnund ourselves on Bun mountain ... , In the wake of a blizzard. Roads were bad Just about everywhere in Oregon yesterday and last night, and probably Bun mountain was no worse than many others. But the fact that a much more favor able relocated route is nearly ready reminded us of how much better the situation will be In such weath er, come another winter. In fact, getting back to Klamath from Eugene yesterday proved to be quite an all-around adventure. We knew It had been raining i i MitnU of riv and that ,i ... n. tlk nf flood staire on the Willamette. but we got our first Inkling of how serious it was getting when we stopped for gasoline at a service station between Springfield and Eucene about 11 a. m. Sunday. Pleas Don't Bother Ut THE service station man asked us please to go some where else, he was busy getting ready for high water. He and his helpers were busy moving things off the Door and lower shelves of the station. We drove out on CS 99 toward the Willamette high way Junction at Goshen, but soon a state policeman stopped us. TouH have to go back to Eusene." he said. "You can't get through to Goshen on W." We talked to him alternate routes but he didn t seem to have any information. Frank Jenkins was with us, driving in his car. and we decided to try the route through Jasper over to Pleasant Hill or Lowell on the Willamette highway. Frank drove ahead, as he was familiar with the roads through there. We got to jasper, were turned back by high water on both the Pleasant Hill and Lowell legs of the route. So we hurried back to Eugene, a little indignant about a system that stops traffic on one road, but doesnt inform the travelers where else to go. At Eugene, we made further inquiry, and found a detour fay a winding hill road called Dulard road, which put us on the Pacific highway two miles south of Goshen. There were scores of cars In our caravan, which was shuttled through the route on a one-way control system. We turned north to Goshen, and rolled up to Oakrtdge and over the Willamette pass. There was plenty of packed snow on the pass, but the plows had been busy and we went through without incident and van without chains. Woter On Povemenr . TURNING south on US ST, we found an unusual water condition at various places along this usually dry road. Water had evidently accumulated along the roadside at low places, and was across the road to a depth of several Inches at numerous places between Chemult and Band Creek. Cars splashed through easily, but we had a momentary scare when our motor died right in the middle of a stretch of deep water. We had visions of some cold wading in our street shoes, but tried the starter, and the engine started, ooughlngly. We crippled out of the water, and toon wen rolling along again. Then earn Bun mountain. We let ourselves down slowly In the early darkness, about 100 yards behind Frank. Suddenly, we came around a bend, and found a pile-up. Several trucks were stalled at the roadside, on ear was piled up Just In front of us. Frank's car had executed a complete turn-around and was nosed Into one of the trucks. We tried to stop, and slipped By GEORGE E. bOKOUSKT ONE of the permanent effects of this past ar is the accumulation of human beings Into vat empires of population. World War I broke up empires into smaller states: this one brings peoples together. Soviet Russia (together with her puppets) Is accumu lating 263.000.000 or more; China has some 450.000 .000; Hindustan and Pakistan some 400.000 000. The United States has about 140,000.000 people. What will all this be 25 years from now? That may be very Important then. There are many aays of approaching population problems. Some object to increases of popualuon be cause they hope to maintain a homogeneous population. The American population in 1920. upon which the quota system was fixed, was 41 4 per cent of British origin iGreat Britain); 1SJ per cent German: 114 per cent Irish; 4.1 per cent Polish and the remainder was made up of about all the peoples on the face of the earth. There is very little of homogeneity In all tills. Experts on population predict that the Increase in our population will not be as rapid as It has been. Be ginning with I960, they give us 14S.00O.OOO but they do not expect us to have more than 163.000.000 by the year 2000. I am not competent to Judge the accuracy of these estimates. But If we accept them as correct, we shall doc have the population in 1960 that the Eurasian peoples have already. That is something to think about in a world that Involves empires of hundreds of millions of people. Then arises the question as to whether this country is overpopulated and what it would take to over populate this country. Those who Uisist that this country is already overpopulated can be disregarded as capable of using any argument to make a point Comparison HERE are the figures given by Thompson.

Compare countries of comparable standards of living. Sweden. Belgium. Switzerland. Netherlands. Great Britain, with the United States. Great Britain has a population density nearly 10 times that of the United States. Defense Problem' THIS is something to study, not to make glib state ments about. Once before I wrote about this and one of those clever "yes" or "no" men said this w as not an underpopulated country, but the assumption was apparently based on soil productivity about which i so little is known, particularly as w approach the revolutionary methods of chemurgy. But this we do know: We shall have to defend our selves and our population some day and we shall have to know how to do it. Can we do it without increasing our population? Is It to be assumed that we possess an Intellectual superiority which gives us an advantage over other countries? And If we have to Increase our population, shall we do it by Increasing births, by conquering and assimilating our neighbors, or by selective Immigration? We need knowledge, wisdom and an unprejudiced understanding to handle that problem. STATIC By JOT BIGGS For tonight there's our favorite "Let George Do It," followed by Charlie Chan which is always good although he doesn't sound any more like a Chinaman than I do and is irrltatingly smug about his theories besides. "This Is Adventure" is meant to stir the heart of every red-blooded young man and move htm to Join the coast guard. The rest of us can alt back and enjoy a good "reel life" adventure story in the most comfortable spot we can find and not feel constrained to do anything about it. Radio television pix will be taken ef the Bt. Patrick's Day parade to be held March 14, Sunday, in San Francisco and will be shown on the I east coast 15 minutes later. Klam- ' ath Sheriff's Posse is to participate in the parade to spread the good word about Klamath county. May- be some of our boys in the plaid posse shirts will be seen in the radio ! screen movies. I ' ' I Ob say have you been listening to that new adventure program on JI's air waves? It's "The Mysterious Traveler" who "takes the same train each week" Take a trip with him on Monday night Just before "Cisco Kid," If you like mysteries. Tonights local LW lineup has "Your Navy Recruiter" at 9:30; "Stardust Melodies" at 10; News Summary at 11, and "Telequest," tat popular Cecil program at 11:05. Looks like the info we had on tht Hollywood Washington's Birthday dinner broadcast was all wet It was a Purple Heart award dinner :not academy award Oscar) com- j memorating our first president who started the Purple Heart award. I ! Well Chuck, there will be a lot , of late listeners tuned to LW at : 11 :05 tonight to learn the outcome i of the program Telequest after that mishap Saturday. And there will be a lot of disappointment if it should have to be discontinued. We often get wrong numbers dial ing from the newsroom, too, and we dial the right numbers, so It ixn't altogether careless dialing. I This telequest program is getting i better and better what with Chuck giving rhyming conundrums with 1 clues as to the mystery recording offered for give-away. Visitors Mr. and Mrs. Gus A.

Feb. 21 The victory of the Wallace-supported candidate In last Tuesday's special election in the Bronx renews specu lation among political observers as to how senous the Wallace threat will be In November to the democratic party. In the Bronx election the Wallace - back ed candidate lor congress polled a far higher pro portion o f the votes than did the third party In 1946. the American labor party iA-P. This was not surpris ing in view of the results of an Institute poll on Wallace last month. In a trial heat race against Truman and Thomas E. Dewey which showed Wallace polling 15 per cent for the whole state, the ballon from New York City alone found him running far ahead of the previous '1946 ALP vote in the city. In the Insti tute poll he received 23 per cent throughout the city, as compared to 16 per cent for the ALP In 1946. If the Wallace figure of 23 per cent in the Institute s poll of New York city continues it would al most certainly mean that the re publicans would carry New York state in the fall election. NATIONALLY, the Institute polls find Wallace's strength running be tween 6 and 8 per cent, depending on the line-up of opposing candi dates. Assuming a total vote for the nation of approximately 60000.000 this year, the Wallace party would have somewhere between 3.600.000 and 4.8O0.0OO if It were able to get on the ballot In all 48 states. This seems out of the question because of election laws in various states. The Wallace percentage nation ally does not fully reflect the threat which he can be to the democratic party. Wallace mieht poll only a low vote nationally, and yet receive enough votes in certain key areas to upset Tru man's chances for re-election. This is because Wallace draws about ten times as many votes from democratic ranks as from the re publicans. In the most recent Institute trial heats pitting Wallace against Tru mai and Gov. Dcwcy. It was found that the previous political affilia tion of Wallace supporters Is as fol lows throughout the nation: Previous Political Affiliation Of Present Wallace Followers 62 per cent voted for Rooecll in I 1944 i 6 per cent toird republican in i 1944 2 per cent voted for minor parties in 1944 i 30 per cent didn't oie in 1944. or were loo youiiK lo vote. IN ANY area won by the demo crats in 1944 by only a narrow mar- I gin. the draining off of democratic votes this year by Wallace could have a most serious effect There are three principal rrion which fall ; into this category: the New England state, the Middle Atlantic slates. : and the East Central section. In the New England area the dem ocratic lead in the 1944 election averaged only 52 5 per cent and in 1 the Middle Atlantic area 62 per rent. , In the Ea-st Central stales ohio. ' Indiana. Illinois and Michigan' the : democratic margin was even more : precarlou's 503 per cent. Assuming a similar division of , sentiment today, the Wallace ticket could be the means of defeating the I democrats. i The sectional picture In the 1944 election, showing where Wallace in , roads could be enou. Is given in , the following table: 1941 Drm. Rep. New England 52 5". 47 51 Mid-Atlantic 52 1 479 : East Central . 50.1 49 7 West Central 48 0 52 0 South 69 1 30 9 Mountain 52 6 47 4 Pariflc Coast 56 5 13 5 In the first two sections listed above. Wallace's vote In institute I trial heats 'aiiges between 7 and I 11 per cent, depending on the op ' posing candidates In the EaM Cen i tral states It raners between 5 and 8 per cent. Clearly the Walla. j threat to the democrats In those areas Is a very real one. sin-e ! the majority of his supporters are former democrats. Wallace's appeal is chiefly to young voters and voters In big cities. The pattern Is the same re g.irdless of who the opposing can didates are.
