Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THE (urge In voter registration In tin pre-prlmary
period hu been most encouraging. It Indicates
a reawakening of Interest In political affairs, which
definitely lagged In the war and the first post-war
years.
In that period, voter parti
cipation In elections In Kla
math county fell to such a low
ebb that several thousand names
were dropped from the poll books
under the law that provides for
cancellation of registration of per
sons failing to vote In two elections.
Registration activity for th
May primary started with the
Klamath registration total at the
lowest It had been for a long
time. Figures are not yet available.
' EPLEY but Indications are that the rush
of, name-filing which came to a climax this week
hu boosted the registration level back to 18,000
or more.
Lire Poll Books
IT also appears that the present registration Is
, much more "live" than It has been for several
years. That means there are fewer registrations ot
persons who have passed away or moved out of the
cdunty. With less "dead wood" on the books, the
chances are good for a much Improved percentage
showing at the primary election.
jt Is to be presumed that the thousands of new
registrants got their names on the poll books with
the intention of voting In the primary.
In the last several primary elections, voting volume
his been low, running at SO per cent of the regis
tration In some years. It has been especially bad In
the democratic primaries, leading to the conclusion
that the "dead wood" was especially prevalent In
the democratic voting lists.
iWe should do much better In both parties this year.
Get Out The Vote
THIS happens to be a presidential year, and the
record shows a much greater public Interest In
political affairs at such times. However, the forth
coming election Is the primary, not the general elec
tion, so all the credit for the surge of current
Interest cannot be attributed to the presidential
election. State, district and local contests, as well
as the Dewey-Stassen presidential preference battle
in the republican primary, must get some of the
credit for the favorable registration showing.
Registration Is not voting, and the extent of
public conscientiousness here will not be really dem
onstrated until the primary election Is held In May.
But a lot more people have put themselves In a
position to exercise their voting privilege, and the
next drive must be to get out the vote.
SPEBSQSA
KLAMATH'S chapter of the Society for the Preser
vation and Encouragement of Barber Shop
Quartet Singing In America will be In the limelight
Friday night when It stages its "parade of quartets'
at the Pelican theatre. There will be many crack
singing groups from points scattered over the West,
and our personal experience as spectator at such an
event at Eugene indicates a sure-fire program of
first-class entertainment
An Interesting feature of the Klamath chapter l
that It Is basin-wide In membership. Men from com
munities throughout the area have gotten together
In this 30-voice organization, and the comradeship of
'close harmony" has helped create friendly Inter
community relationships. It Is things like this that
help to make the Klamath basin a happy family
of people who know and like each other, and work
together for big and little projects.
By GEORGE K. IOKOLSKY
THUS far, nothing much has come out of the
canvass for the presidency. No particular Issue
has been raised except by Henry Wallace, who has
adopted an unmodified pro-Russian orientation even
to the extent of opposing not only the official policy
of his own country but its right to maintain a
separate non-Marxist existence.
Troin Dewey, Taft, Btassen, Truman, Eisenhower,
Vandenberg and Martin not an Inspiring syllable.
not a word to lift the spirit of the American people,
not an Idea for the correction of the groat evils that
were bom out of grievous errors I The campaign so
far Is personal; the debate ad homlnem.
Stassen, who demonstrates some personal popu
larity, carefully avoids a sentence that speaks more
than an oft-repeated and carefully tested cliche and
changes his theme In accordance with the most
recent headlines. He has been able to spend enor
mously, devoting himself to the sole task of winning
a nomination to which he is neither by experience
nor Intellectual attainments fitted. It cheapens the
presidency to spend so much to get It: that was
dona tor Wendell Wlllkle. and the vulgarity ot the
Philadelphia convention will not soon be forgotten.
No other candidate has such a fund as Stassen
threw Into Wisconsin, where he won against Mac-
Arthur by the narrowest of margins. If only money
talks, Harold Stassen will be nominated and an
extraordinarily large number ot republicans will vote
for either Truman as the lesser ot two evils or tor
Henry Wallace In protest.
They Just Gripe
BUT Stassen'a opponents have done little more than
gripe. Here we are In a crisis, more acute, more
permanently serious than any Franklin D. Roosevelt
ever faced or Invented. It Is no longer a Question ot
Isolationism or Internationalism, ot defeating the nasi
or saving the British empire. It is a question ot
saving our civilization, which we can lose even
without a fighting war. Yet, those who presume to
aspire to the presidency speak ot trivialities, follow
the polls, hit out at what la momentarily unpopular.
They dare not or know not how to strike at the
heart ot the problem, which Is:
Shall the American civilisation, which has been
developing on this continent for three hundred years
and which achieved the greatest productivity man
has ever known in an atmosphere of the widest
recognition of the Inalienable rights of the Individual
man, survive or become abortive when challenged by
the creative force of the Eurasian civilisation stimu
lated by the Immoral and antl-Chrlstlan Marxist
creed?
In a word, Is Americanism worth fighting tor?
Many find this too challenging, too tough to
answer. It arouses thm from an Intellectual lethargy
into which the Jazs age of the twenties swept them;
It arouses them from the comforts of the easy slogans
of pro- and antl- new deal which occupied them
during the 'thirties; It forces them to understand,
and therefore to study, why they oppose communism
and to acknowledge a decade ot lying by men In high
places.
It Can't Be Evaded
THE challenge creates a world of unpleasantness.
It insists that the so-called liberal comes out
from behind his smirk to exhibit the shallowness of
his soul. It makes It too late to speak political plati
tudes, and forces moral law Into every political con
sideration. It makes compromise Impossible because
compromise between western civilization and Eurasian
Marxism Is Impossible. No bridge can be manufac
tured which will close that gap, stated by ancient Job
and restated In Goethe's Faust. It Is the old problem
of God and the devil. And what politician wants to
take that on?
But no politician in this or any other country can
dodge It, tor no matter where he hides his mind, the
problem creeps upon him. Perhaps that is why so
many politicians are paralyzed, why so many of them
suffer from confusions and fears and know not on
Monday what they might do on Thursday. Lincoln
would not have been so confused. Nor would Theo
dore Roosevelt. But those who aspire to be their
successors dare not look at the central fact of our
age, which is that the Eurasian horde, operating
like a slave state, like the Osmanll who once con
quered them, are seeking it destruction and may
achieve It.
The Doctor Says
Diet Only Reducing Plan
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written 'or NEA Service
Most people who are fat or even
only moderately overweight claim
that they want to lose the excess
poundage. No doubt this Is true,
but most fat people seem more
willing to talk about It than to diet
With exceedingly few exceptions
and I mean exceedingly tew the
cause of obesity Is overeating. By
the same token, those who say they
want to lose can do so by eating
less. This Is not easy for the aver
age overweight person but it can
be done by the liberal use of will
power and without the use of drugs.
However, someone who really
wants to lose should understand
what foods o eat and how much.
They cannot afford to cheat as so
many people do by little extra tid
bits now and then which they just
"dont count"
The foods -vhlch turn Into human
fat most easily are the animal or
vegetable fats such as butter or
margarine and fat meat The
starches or carbohydrate foods too
must be cut down or eliminated it
weight Is to be taken off. In this
group belong potatoes, sugar and
cereals.
If foods such as these are elimi
nated from the diet or taken only
lr. small quantities, progress should
be made, rhey can be replaced
with lean meat, fowl, fish, vege
tables and the less sweet fruits.
RI AL HEALTH BENEFIT
A really scientific diet 'for reduc
ing, however, should be calculated
fci each person by recording such
things as height, age, sex, and prop
er weight, and then figuring the
calories which such a person ought
to have. Then a strict diet can be
worked out on a calory basts and
if cheating on the diet does not
take place, the person will lose
weight
Obesity has s bad effect on gen
eral health. At all ages the over
weight person Is more likely to die
or to become 111 with most types of
disease than the thin person. Aside
from the saving of food which is
now a national problem, there is
real , health oenef it to be gained
from losing excessive weight
The Doctor Answers
Question: What is the cause of a
burning tongue?
Answer: Burning sensation of the
tongue Is rather rare. Most com
mon causes are believed to be 111
flttlng dentures, disturbance of the
joint of the jaw, sensitiveness to
dentures, unclean fissures of the
tongue, electric currents between
metal dentures, some vitamin de
ficiencies and possibly anemia.

"THE MEMORY Or LADY"
(Of Hamilton's cafe)
Do you keep a record of dogs you
kill?
Does your conscience hurt you a bit?
I'm the voice of one, near Algoma
hill.
The dog you deliberately hit
I belonged to a little boy I loved.
Just a wee, little tyke like me.
I had a home In the house where
he lived.
By the road near that beautiful tree.
He had no little sister Br brother.
That's why we were pals, don't you
see?
While his father worked, and his
mother.
They depended a lot on me.
I was only a little dog, that's true,
Just a little bundle of fur.
I know that my life meant nothing
to you,
Yet you deliberately killed me, sir.
I never had chased a car, you see,
Wasn't out on the road that day.
You drove off the road to hit me,
Then went speeding on your way.
You left me in agony, dying,
Till Ood eased my pain at last.
While the ones who loved me were
crying.
And my little pal's tears fell fast.
It wasn't just me that died, you see
I was waiting tor a special day,
For the little puppies, soon to be,
So you murdered us all that day.
On the porch Is my little empty bed.
My dish Is there by the door.
Because of you I now lay dead
I can romp and play no more.
If Ood hears a little doggie's prayer,
I pray He will somehow maks
right
And ease the grief of a boy some
where, Who misses his dog tonight.

'AMERICA'S SECURITY WILL BE YOUR SECURITY"
The World
Today
By DKWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affair Analyst
M
OaWIM Matkanilal
The victory ot Ills aiiU-oommuiilst
forces In Un Italian national lec
tion Is giving a mighty lift to morale
among tin democracies In their
fight against totalitarian, commu
nism. This Is particularly true of West
ern Europe, across portions of
which Uic shad
ow of commu
nism hus been
striking heav
ily. The reac
tion has been
Immediate and
e n t h u I astlc.
The London
Dally Express
says the Flec
tion Is "t h e
latest and most
spectacular
phase of the
swing to the
right which Is now at work over
Western Europe." and continues to
sum up the situation thus:
"Marshall aid played a big part
. . . but even If there had been no
Marshall aid. (Premier) d Gas
perl's (Christian drmocratlo) party
would still have won. They would
hv won because Italy was aiked
to choose between the democratic
outlook ot the west and the authori
tarian communism ot the east."
Confirmation
From Jacob Kaiser, head ot the
Christian democrats in Berlin,
comes a somewhat similar view. He
declares that the outcome of the
election "confirms that no popula
tion In this world voluntarily will
choose dictatorship when given a
free, democratic election."
All the evidence at hand since
bolshevlsm came to power In Rus
sia In 1917 supports Kaiser's view
The whole history of communism
during the past generation Is a story
of an Ism being thrust on unwilling
peoples by trickery and force. There
Isn't a single one of Moscow's satel
lites In Eastern Euroe which would
have accepted communism If the
people had been allowed a free vote
Apropos of this thought Winston
Churchill describes the Italian elec
tions as "an historic event" and
adds:
"Italy now regains her place In
the ranks of Uie principal powers of
Europe Instead of being like so
many unhappy countries mads to
live In the cage with the bear."
Follows War
Communism drives Its ntering
wedges by preying on distress and
discontent. The war plowed the
ground for communism by creating
chaotic conditions in many coun
tries. Privation, Including stark
hunger, has been thrust upon nu
merous peoples and when folk are
hungry they think with their stom
achs. They are ready to gamble on
most anything which may produce
food.
So the democracies must demon
strate that they have something
concrete which will take the place
of the red promises. And that Is
true not only for the countries
where there Is actual distress but
In the more prosperous lands where
there still Is discontent because of
economic and social conditions.
Basin Girls

Return Of War Dead
Be Completed In Two Years
mi
lly 1IAI, nnvi.R
BROOKLYN AKMY HASH ITV
The task of returning American
war dead will be completed In half
the expected time.
Originally the army thought
would take five
years end $200.
000.000. This es
timate was bas
ed on the belief
Unit next-of-kin
would request
the return for
reburlal In this
country of about
B0 pre cent of
the men who
died overseas.
T a d a v the
quartermaster IIOVI.E
corps hupes to complete the pro
gram ill about two years. Hurvlvurs
of only (19 per rent of the combat
dead ot World War II have asked
they be returned from the lands
where thry fell.
An Interesting sidelight:
Of 2,3a letters dispatched by
last February to next-of-kin asking
their wishes, some M.AM) have never
even been answered.
What does tills figure mean? It
means that one out of every five
persons hssn't taken the trouble to
notify the government what he
wants done with Ihe body of a man
who. when alive, listed him as hu
nearest or dearest relative.
Just Kepi Quiet
A charitable Interpretation of tills
Inaction Is that the 20 per cent who
didn't reply merely took tills means
of Indicating that they wanted their
war dead to remain where they
are.
in 10.1B9 other cares the lotters
of Inquiry were returned as umle
Uverable. The next-of-kin no long
er could be found.
Of some 115.M7 reply forms re
turned and now classified, 19.7&4
or 89 per cent requested the serv
iceman be returned here for re
burlal In a private or national ceme
tery. A majority of the war dead pass
through the New York port of em
barkation on the way to one of the
15 distribution centers throughout
the country, where military escorts
are assigned to accompany them to
their final resting place. .
The task Is carried on with sim
ple dignity. Each transport la met
by 300 to 00 survivors, represent
atives of veterans groups, and a
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
chaplain. A short memorial service
Is held.
Passenger List
The dead are listed Individually
on the transport's passenger roster.
After each name Is the notation
(deceased).
"One mother who came down to
meet Uie ship bore up well until she
saw her boy listed as a passenger,"
said Capt. Larry Phelan, combat
veteran of the first Infantry divis
ion. "Then she wept."
The caskets are scaled, as required
by law In all states. The question
troubled parents ask most often:
"You're sure It's our boy, and
there's been no mistake?"
They are satisfied by the army's
answer:
"You would never have received
a letter ot Inquiry If the Identifica
tion hadn't been positive."
Bodies travel home by train, from
the distribution centers except when
the burial site Is within 40 miles.
In these cases motor hearses are
used.
Bninetlmcs as one transport un-
freights Its war dead at Uie base
here, another Is being loaded by
