OREGON'S highway Interim committee activities
will probably follow the pattern set in California,
where a revolutionary highway program was under
taken through legislative action.
The interim committee goes
about the state, letting local en
thusiasts literally overwhelm It
with requests for all types of high
way and road work. When It is
all in, it will be tremendous.
The legislators then point out
that If the public wants this huge
program of work, as it has indi
cated. It must realise that it will
have to be paid for, and that cur
rent financing can't begin to do
it Vou can't build roads from
thin air you've got to have hard
EPLEY cash.
Out of this will probably come legislation for ad
ditional financing, and possibly, as was done In Cali
fornia, for changes In adminlstxation of local road
work to insure sound business and engineering prac
tices. The local political organisations may have to
yield some authority in matters of road work.
Klamath Attitude
THE Klamath people who are making preparations
for the highway interim committee hearing here
In April, are well aware of the general Implications
of the situation. They know that there is going to
be a showing of desire for extensive road work here,
and that the question of how to finance this pro
gram will be brought up.
. The general principles developed at a preliminary
conference this week lean toward higher gasoline
taxes and higher registration fees as a means of state
and local highway financing. There was indicated
opposition to tax levies on property, and toward
general obligation bond issues, for highway purposes.
It is well to keep in mind that there are limits
to any type of financing, and that we Just can't
expect to have all at once all the road and high
way work which people want to see accomplished.
We will have to exercise some restraint, even though
we are willing to go for somewhat higher gasoline
and registration fees.
It would be well for Klamath people and the various
groups represented to be on band with some statement
of principles as to financing, when the highway interim
committee comes here. The disinclination here toward
property levies and long-term general obligation bond
issues for highway purposes is along sound lines.
.
Naming Of Keno
RECENTLY, we used an old picture of Keno in our
Photographic History series, and appended some
information about the naming of the town. We have
since received an Interesting letter from C. Snowgoose,
a Keno pioneer, giving some additional detail about
this matter.
Mr. Snowgoose recalls that J. W. Do ten came to
Klamath county in an early day, and bought all of
the Robert Whittle holdings on the south side of
Klamath river at what is now Keno. He laid out a
townsite. The nam of Do ten was offered to the
post office department, but it rejected the name
because It sounded so much like Dayton, another
Oregon town. Two or three other names were tried
and then somebody suggested Keno, the name of
Captain Feree's dog. The p. o. department agreed.
There was just one sawmill in the Keno area in
those days, says Mr. Snowgoose. It was down the
river a mile and was known as the McCormack saw
mill. Woodard and Ramsey had a flour mill near
the sawmill, which was later sold to Martin brothers
and moved to Klamath Falls. Mr. Snowgoose's father
bought the turbine and flume, and built another saw
mill down the river known as the Snowgoose and
Connolly mill. At this mill was sawed lumber for a
flume at Fall creek, where It was used to develop
power for a line that ran to the JF ranch. This was
the old Siskiyou Power company, later sold to Copco.
Information like this adds to the lore of the country,
and we are glad to have it We hope the photographic
aeries evokes more such reminiscences from old-timers.

ISAW a letter In "The New York Times," signed by
L. C. Dunn, professor of toology, Columbia uni
versity. So I read the letter and found that It
quarreled with the Thomas committee over the Condon
case. Dunn says that the Thomas committee made
three false statements concerning an organisation
of which he is or was president I give his words:
"ill The American-Soviet Science society has no
connection with the National Council of American
Soviet Friendship; 3 It has not been cited as a
subversive organisation by the attorney general: i3
It has at no time had anything to do with any 'com
munist endeavors' or with any except strictly scien
tific purposes."
Well, sometimes we do too much research and
discover nothing. This time it was simple. We
picked up the telephone book and there It Is. The
American-Soviet Science society is listed at 114 East
33 street, telephone Murray Hill 3-3080; the National
Council of American-Soviet Friendship is listed at
1H East 33 street, telephone Murray Hill 3-3080. No
connection? On March 8. 1948, according to "Infor
mation," tdial 4111, these numbers were as stated
In the telephone book.
So. we sent a photographer down to 114 East 33
street and he produced a photograph showing that
the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship.
Inc. occupies rooms 803-5 in that building, while the
American-Soviet Science society occupies room 804.
Also In room 804 is the American-Soviet Music society.
In room 803 is the reporter on American-Soviet relations.
Scientific?
O. Dr. Dunns letter to
The New York Tunes''
does not exhibit scientific precision. In fact, the
telephone book and the bulletin board establish Inti
mate relations, a sort of marriage of offices, telephones
and probably office help. That knocks his denial
into a cocked hat
What I cannot udcrsland Is why Dr. Dunn wrote that
letter to the "Times." After all. he must have
known that his telephone number and office are
identical with the National Council of American
Soviet Rriendship. There could be no guessing about
that. Why risk being exposed by a telephone book?
Now let us have a look at Professor Leslie Clarence
Dunn. He has been professor of zoology at Columbia
university since 1928. He is a man of distinction In
his field, having been tiained at Dartmouth and
Harvard. For a number of years, he has chosen to
associate himself with organizations avowedly friendly
to Soviet Russia.
For Instance, he has been an executive committee
member of the American committee for democracy
and Intellectual freedom; a sponsor of the American
committee for protection of foreign born: an executive
board member of the American committee to save
refugees; member of the board of editors of the
"American Review of Soviet Medicine"; a sponsor of
the American Russian Institute; member, editorial
council of the publication. "Equality"; sponsor, emerg
ency conference on deportations. There is more of
this. Most of these agencies have been designated
as communist fronts either by the Dies committee,
the Thomas committee. Attorney General Biddle, At
torney General Clark or other government agencies.
Some of the pro-Russian organizations which Pro
fessor Dunn prefers, he has supported as recently as
this year.
Bridget Letter
ON July 19, 1943, the American communists pub
lished in their "Daily Worker" an open letter
on Harry Bridges which contained the following sent
ence: "It is equally essential that the attorney general's
ill-advised arbitrary, and unwarranted findings rela
tive to the communist party be rescinded." This Is
not a defense of Bridges but of the communist party
and while most Americans would not hold this to be
sound in 1948, it was equally unsound in 1942. Pro
fessor Dunn's name appears as a signer of this "open
letter."
Professor Dunn's most recent affiliations with com
munist front organizations are his membership in
the Citizens Committee to Defend Representative
Government and his sponsorship of the Emergency
Conference on Deportations. The former organiza
tion was set up in February, 1948, as a propaganda
instrument for the seating of the communist, Simon
W. Gerson, on the New York City council; it includes
such communist leaders as Ben Gold and Irving
Potash. The latter organization, the Emergency Con
ference on Deportations, has been called to meet on
April 4, 1948, for the purpose of protesting against
the arrest of alien communists.
The World
Today
By HEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst

Secretary of State Marshall's es
timate of the world situation us
"ery, very serious" was couched In
language which in effect advised
the public to keep cool.
That's the best piece of advice
we ve nad in a
long time. We
are walking
around In a
powder factory,
and it just Isn't
a good place
In which to loss
about lighted
matches.
It's natural
that anxiety
and anger
should be pro
duced by the
steady stream
oi hostility which has been develop
ing from the battle between com
munism and democracy. There
seems no end to the flood which
comes pouring out of Europe, Asia
and the western hemisphere to
make blazing headlines in the
Pt-ess. Even our "peace" orguiitut
tion Is a field of bitter conflict.
Bolting Mad
We don't get a chance to cool
oil between events, and every tew
di.ys there's a particularly UKKru
piiug development. The rape of
Czechoslovakia was one of these. Of
course such brutality arouses fears
and wrath, and we get boiling mod
when old friends like Jan Masaryk
are driven to their deaths.
Still It's precisely moments like
this when we should keep a grip
on our passions if we want to iron
out this situation without fighting
another World war. There are
times when even the most pcace
runded folk must resort to arms In
self-defense. Such a time has not
atrived. and there Is no certainty
that it will arrive.
Now right here let it be said that
anyone who didn't recognize the
danger of war growing out of the
present situation would be crazy.
The tempers of both sides in this
so-called "cold war" are on edge
and it will require cool calculation
ti keep It from being turned Into a
hot war.
Good Chatter
However, the way It appears Irom
here the democracies have a good
chance of holding the European line
about where it is without using
aims. This column still believes
that the barrier of economic re
Inbilltatlon projected in the Mar
shall plan may go a long way to
ward turning the trick. It now
looks as though this would be sup
ported by a Western European
union of the nations participating
in the Marshall plan. This union,
as projected oy the current Brussels
conference, contemplates a 50-year
military, political and economic
pact
We shouldn't make the mistake,
however, of thinking that the bol
shevists are abandoning their world
revolution, for they certainly aren't
Italy is in a very dangerous posi
tion, lying so close to red Yugo
slavia. France also is under a
great threat
The strategy of the democranes
mast be to shun appeasement, to
take every precaution to meet all
eventualities, no matter how ex
treme, and at the same time to em
ploy economic weapons to the great
est, possible advantage.

The Doctor Says
Premaiure Birth Very Risky
Being born prematurely is ex- at freouent intervals, often with
iremeiy nsiy. i nose a earns wmcn
occur In premature infanta are
among the 10 leading causes of
death In the whole population. In
1944, for example, more than 33,000
deaths were recorded in premature
Infants,
There is Improvement. In 1933
about 15 premature Infants died
lor every 1000 live births; in 1944
this had fallen to about 11. This
means that today infants bom pre
maturely have a 20 per cent bet
ter chance of surviving than those
who werj born 15 years ago.
A baby Is considered premature
If Its weight at birth is less than
6 '4 pounds. Premature babies are
usually weak and have -to be fed
medicine dropper.
Two things are largely respon
sible for the improvement in the
chances of life for these Infants.
One is the Improved incubators
which in many modern hospitals
today are air-conditioned cubicles
with temperature and humidity
kept under control. The second Is
the greatly Improved knowledge of
feeding.
AFTER DANGER PERIOD
Premature babies who live past
the danger period are just as likely
to be healthy as those who are born
with normal size and weight. Their
rate of growth Is more rapid than
full-size infants. Consequently In a
few months or a year or two they
catch up with larger infants.
The problem of reducing deaths
of premature infants is still pres
ent in spite of Improvements. Part
of the problem can be met by trying
to reduce the number of prematurely
born Infants. Part can be met also
by further steps aimed at Improving
the chances of living for these tiny
infants.
THE DOCTOR ANSWERS
QUESTION: Would It be harmful
for a patient to use epsom salts as
a laxative when he has diabetes?
ANSWER: Diabetes should be
treated as Indicated in the individual
case. Epsom salts do not constitute
one of the treatments for diabetes,
and should not be used frequently
and regularly, either in diabetes or
anything else.

menu regarding President Trumnn a
foreign policy from your Issue of
March 9.
You stale. "President Trumnna
foreign policy doesn't seem to be
working." The fart Is that It def
initely lin't working.
It was bccuu.c of Wallace's dls-
polnilng out. that Truman's foreign
policy that Truman kicked Wallace
out ot his cabinet a year ago.
What our republicans are now
pointing out, th it Thuman a foreign
policy Is wrong. Is what Wallace
tried to tell us a year ago.
According to Sokul.sxy E. T. Weir.
the steel manufacturer, says, "I must
confess, frankly, that I do not know
whut Is meant when a nation Is de
scribed as being in danger of collapse."
What Is meant Is that the people
have last confidence tn their govern
ment. It means that the existing
government has become corrupt. It
also means that Hie existing eco
nomic system Is not maintaining a
workaole baluucs between consum
ers' purchasing ower and the pro
ductive ability of the nation.
Sokolsky also charged the sales
men of the Marshall plan with not
selling our country the truth.
It Is precisely the failure of a
government to tell Its tropic the
truth that leads eventually to the
collapse of a government. President
rrumana foreign policy can't stand
the lignt of day.
We. it tccnu, still have the lesson
to leurn that arms cannot replace
bread i:hd butter.
When we face the fact of the mess
Truman has made out of foreign
affairs, we find reason to respect
Henry Wallace's words: "Let the
fcarmongers not distort and becloud
the Issues by name-calling."
It will be Interesting to ace what
happens in the CIO now that
Fuehrer Murray has dictated liqui
dation for those who run Into con
flict with P.A.L.'s support of Harry
Truman.
Thank gosh Phillip Murray can't
control the actual vote of the work
ing man.
How can workers put so much
reliance on a president (Truman)
who didn't fight the Taft-Hartley
bill till the last minute?
With Truman shaking In his boots
and with the republican congress
men responsible for the Taft-Hartley
bill It Is becoming evident that
Wallace has a generous share of the
high cards.
A lot has happened in the last
four ysars.
It Is certainly true that anything
can happen this coming election.
