PACE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON MONDAY, MAY 24, .948 tenter ucuu tnjrt nuwm ten uttacmimo aarTSVi II M Ml L3 Today's Roundup By MALCOLM ErLET KLAMATH county republican turned out a boom In; M per cent ol their retatratlon In last week end's primary electloa There's been nothing like tht round here In my memory. Democrat, a had been predicted, dldnt do so well, with a lack o( lntenstlnt contest on their side, they voted only about 41 per cent of regis tration. The percentages are only ap proximate, but about right. I figured the total of republican t'V k J J WHinf by adding the rottng for t V'-W ! the two candidates for president V' j I added the democraUc votinf for IVJ , i' I ahertlf to ret the total democratic rotes. Those totals ought to be Indicative of the totals. It appears that about 1100 more republicans than democrats roted grLEY t the primary. Yet the democrat bare a registration lead of 10.734 to 37. On a number of previous occasions, more republi can than democrat hart roted In the primaries despite democratic leads in registration. But never quite so bad as this time. On the whole, it doesn't apeak well for the rigor of the democraUc party In this county. Surprise; THE surprise of the election locally was the apparent defeat of John Reber. Incumbent county commissioner, by Ed Oowen In the republican nomi nation contest. Mr. Reber had served two terms. The campaign In that department wa rery quiet, and the movement against Reber gathered an undersurtace momentum that Is rather unusual In this county. Mr. Oowen. the nominated republican. Is an old timer In Klamath county, and the son of an old time sheriff. In fact, he was born a half century or to ago when his father was sheriff. Mr. Oowen s opposition In the fall will be Ouy Bellant, democrat, nominated without opposition. Mr. Reber. who has given the county a lot of good errice. took his narrow defeat In good spirit and' Immediately put In a plug for his opponent's election in the fall. e Sheriff's Roc. TRX outcome of the republican contest for sheriff ill somewhat expected, although a race like that Is not easy to figure. Jack Praney is the present deputy, he has long experience both In the sheriff's office and In county politics, and ha ran a most competent campaign. There were a number of good men running here, but it Is a fair statement that the republicans did wen In naming Mr. Praney. Prank Steele emerged out of a large field of demo crat for the sheriff's nomination on that side, where predictions were even more difficult than In the republican situation. Mr. Steele benefited from his . connections with labor, especially In the camps, where Hi drew strong support He Is lumber company railroad man. Legislature ED GEARY drew exceptionally strong support on the three-way race for republican nomination for the legislature. Evidently, a good many republi cans gave Oeary a single rote. Instead of voting for two. Carl Stelnselfer, entering politic for the first time, eased out Mayor Ed Ostendorf In the legislature contest, which was somewhat of a surprise to many people. It ha been said that the mayoralty of Klamath Palls I a political graveyard, and there Is some basis for that comment In the fall. It win be a four-way race for two legislative post Democrat Henry Bemon and Tom Bus tin, and Republican Ed Oeary and Carl Steln selfer. Reform Sentiment THE Klamath county vote on governor ran counter wise to that In the state as a whole. Perhaps one reason for Oovernor John Hatl's ' ms)orlty here was the fact that he appointed a Well-liked Klamath county man, Harry Bolvln, to the state liquor commission a one of hi first Important act. Also, the reform sentiment which helped Doug las McKay strongly In the PorUand area evidently badnt spread out this far. Even so, if this writer had been forced to make a prediction before the election, I would have guessed that McKay would have carried this county in a dose rote. The Hall support was stronger her than appeared on the surface. The reform sentiment that hit Portland's Mayor Earl Riley and Oovernor John Hall (the Orrgonlan even thinks It had something to do with the Dewey victory! is something for all office-holders to think about. The people of Oregon are generally pretty conservative on matter of public morals. They msy let things run a Utile wild for a while, but there 11 be a reaction that win be hard on the politicians who happen to be In office when things begin to get out of hand. A lot of Oregonians. especially at Portland, were rotlng their conscience last Priday, These Days By GEORGE E. SOROUSH Y LET us have a look at the "advisory nationwide poll of dally newspaper editors" for the Collier's prises. The top ten for first and second choice for the sens tor who this year provided the most dis tinguished congressional services shows: 1st 2nd 1st 2nd Tafl .. Ill Vandenberg 45 Byrd 31 Morse Berkley t 39 35 ss Planders . 6 Ban ( Perguson, i ConnaUy -.. S Ives 3 ( n 10 s Of these 10. the poll shows that 1 are republicans. Although Collier's Ignored the newspaper editors' judgment, passing over four names to reach Senator Berkley, the fact remains that the only new dealer among the 10 Is Senator Berkley. Taft received more rotes by I than the remaining nine added together. This is particularly significant because the poll was taken on a nationwide scale, covering all pan of the country and all shades of political opinion. I Funny Butinett THE fact that the Collier's committee, headed by Eric Johnston, chose to Ignore this poll, rejecting Taft, who received 113 rotes, and accepting Berkley, who received six rotes. Is something that requires a better explanation than that the committee has de cided to disregard candidates for the presidency, what, even if that is true, is the excuse for dis regarding Byrd and Morse, who are not candidates? Considering the Washington newswrlters, editors, broadcasters and columnists, altogether 28 of them, Taft received 12 as first choice, 3 as second choice, 2 as third choice; Berkley, 3 as first choice, 2 as second choice. S as third choice. On the first choice. Taft leads Barkley 4 to 1. But this, too, is ignored by the Collier's committee. If the first 10 senatorial names are studied in the Washington poll, nine out of 10 are republicans, namely Taft, Plandera. Ives, Tobey. Ferguson. Hlcken looper. Smith, Vandenberg and White. Only one democrat appears among the first 10, Barkley, and he got the prise. This Is one of the most amudng showings In all this curious prise business. Taft leads the field among nationwide editors, 113 to Berkley's : among Wash ington newsmen, 13 to 3, but Barkley get the prize 1 e Question PRECISELY what additional Information did the Collier's committee have before It that made Senator Berkleys services In the present senate of greater distinction than those of Senator Taft? It is Interesting that such Washington newsmen as Robert 8. Allen, Bert Andrews. Prank Kent, Thomas L. Stokes, none of whom Is a rock-ribbed republican, roted for Taft for first choice. Yet the CoUler' committee Ignored their recommendations as it did the nationwide poll of dally newspaper editors. There must be a reason. The most plausible but unsatis factory explanation is that the Comer's committee desired to avoid endorsing a candidate for the presidency. But that has nothing to do with the prize which Is designed to honor a senator and a repre sentative for distinguished service in a particular year. James C. Derieux says in Collier': "The committee does not operate under a fixed criteria or rules. Each year It is free to do as It pleases. In selecting the winners for 1M7, a number of members felt that It would be wise to eliminate avowed presidential candidates from consideration, lest the award be mistaken for a political endorse ment." If that is the explanation, It should have been made In advance of making the polls. The pollees, in that case would have known that they could not rote for Taft, Vandenberg and Joe Martin. A It stands, many must wonder whether the committee did not reach Its conclusion after the rote was In and Bob Taft came first. - SIDE GLANCES m tfc p PkJ per.

May 34 The majority of American voters polled in a nation-wide survey think that most members of the American communist party are loyal to Russia, not to the United States. Whether the public la right or wrong in Its estimate, that Is the fundamental attitude which colors American think- I ing about such proposals as those embraced In the Mundt Nlxon bin. The prevalence o f the attitude helps explain why Americans look upon the American com munist party a something en tirely different from various m I n n r nartles which in the past have espoused unpopular doctrines. The general feeling of the voting population is that something ought to be done about the American com munist party. The public 1 in a mood to accept almost any program which the experts think wul work. For example: One of the principal provisions of th Mundt-Nixon bill is that members of the communist front organizations shall be required to file their names with the federal government. This proposal Is approved by an overwhelming majority of American voters, aa follows: "Would you favor or oppme a law requiring all members of the com munist party In this country to register (file their namesi with the Justice department In Washington 7 Pavor - 'To Oppose 12 No opinion 11 Harold E. Stassen In his cam paigning for the republican presi dential nomination has been advo cating outlawing the American com munist party. His rival, Oovernor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, opposes thl tep on the ground that the party if driven under ground will spread it ldealogy and propaganda more effectively and that "you can t shoot an Idea with a law." Whether outlawing the party 1 constitutional or feasible is a tech nical matter which perhaps should be left to experts. But insofar as the general principle of outlawing the communist party is concerned the last time public sentiment wa tested on the subject, in December, 1847, it was found that 62 per cent favored outlawing the party, while 23 per cent were opposed and the rest MS per cent) had no opinion. Whether the Stassen-Dcwey radio debate on the Issue and other publlo discussion of it has changed opinion since last December will be shown In future surveys. At the present time Institute sur- 81 1ST. 14 veys show that a slightly higher proportion of people believe Amer ican communists are loyal to Russia than mas found last December. The trend of opinion follows: "In cenrral. do you think moat American dtisens who belong to the communist party In this country are loyal to America or to Russia" Dee. 147 Today Loyal to U. S. 19i l-v Loyal to Russia it U No opinion 22 19 Another provision of the Mundt Nixon bill prohibit communists from holding Job In th federal government. Sentiment in favor of that pro posal was found overwhelming as far back as a year ago. In April, 18-47 the Institute found the follow ing vote: "Should American eltlsens who are members of the communist party be forbidden to hold civil service Jobs (regular government Jobs) or should they have the same right a others to hold government Jobs?" Should be forbidden to hold government Job .. Should be allowed to i kold such Jobs No opinion Until such a proposal does become law, however, the public Is In favor of giving any government employe whose loyalty ia questioned the right to a fair hearing on the charges. In September the institute polled on the question of loyalty purges without a trial and found the following vote: Employes should be fired 24 Employes should have right to present ease SS No opinion ... 8 The present mood of th country so far as communists ar concerned Is Illustrated In the results of an other survey completed in AprlL This found the voters in favor of removing communists from Jobs In industries that would be vital in wartime. "Do you think the communists should or should not be removed from Jobs In U. 8. Industries that would be Inportant In war-lime? Should 80 Should not 12"c No opinion - 8 Sweden Makes Survey Swedish voters take the same at titude as Americans do on the ques tion of the loyalty of communists In their country. The Swedish Oallup poll, one of the 12 members of the World Oal lup poll, questioned Swedish voters on the following Issue: "If Sweden should come Into con flict with Russia, do you believe the Swedish communists would be for Sweden or for Russia?" For Sweden 17 For Russia 88 No opinion ..... 28 The American poll report In an accompanying column shows that 65 per cent in the United States think American communist party members are loyal to Russia, not the United States. Britain's trial of socialistic gov ernment has taken a highly In teresting turn a pause for con solidation of "gains." Thl Indicates that Prime Min uter Atlle and his cabinet ar fearful of over-estending their communications If they continue an all-out offensive. It also means, I bi-lleve. that the high command notes a decided Increase In pub lic resistance to further socialist experiments un til those already undertaken have demons t r a t e d their valu. It's three years now since lite labor party (so cialists' under leadership of Attic came to power in the sensational general election which resulted In the downfall of England famous wartime leader, Winston Churchill. Th socialists didn't concral their alms from the voters but on the contrary laid doan a platform which railed for naltonalluitioii uf some 20 per cent of Hrltrsh In dustry. This was a tremendous venture for capitalistic Km land, but she tmk Uie chance and put socialism 111 the saddle for what, under normal circumstances, would be a five-year period. Steel Still Out In three years the Attire gov emment has naUonalisrd coal. Inland tramport. civil aviation, the Bank of England, foreign communi cations, electricity, and now is In process of nationalising gas. In short, the program has been carried out with on important exception nationalisation of Iron and steel, which Is one of the country's biggest Industries. The government has been en countering fierce res.stance from th Iron und steel industry, and has chosen to mark time, probably on the beuls that discretion Is the better part of valor. War Minuter Emanuel ShmweU Indicated In an Interview the other day that the socialist party Is spill over pro posed government ownership of the Industry, and declared: Steel is all up In the air."
