HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON THURSDAY, AUG. 11. l4t PACE SIX tmtoc MAi-COl-M CPLfY HaMVtng Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM CrLEY IN hit birthday epeech t Plo Alto last night, Ex-President Hoover talked on economics rather thn politic, but he did ventur one Into tht political fteM lu Mninen relerenr to the last presidential election. ; He pointed out t h t today about one person out of every even In the population t a regular recipient of government money. If those of ate are all married, they comprise about one half of the voting strength at the last presidential election, he remarked. Commentator, editorial wrttera. political analyst and especially MnnhiiMiu themselves like to talk about what ha been wrong with EPLEY the republican party In the recent presidential elections. When one considers what government payrolls have done to Influence the ballot In the last 17 year, it must be admitted tht the republican party hu done remarkably well to com a close a it has In most of these election. Not tht the OOP doesn't need a program and a shaking-up. It need a lot of thing if It I ever going to overcome the handicap set up by the Solid South, which usually rotes democratic by tradition rather than reason, and the government money recipients who vote for Santa Clau in the form of the donkey. The principal trouble with the republican party is that the democratic party 1 in power and ha developed a formula of sell -perpetuation that seem certain to make the difference In any close situa tion. Man-Made Fire HAL OGLE 8 report the other day to the effect thai man-caused fire have Increased sharply here and to the state this year h been followed up by soma Interesting statistics Hal ha compiled from statewide tire record. Thl table shows figure for fire so state and private protective, anas, throughout the state, and others for the Klamath Forest Protective association here, of which Mr. Ogle ts manager. The figures are for the period from, May IS to July IS. Here they are: State Btste KFPA KFPA Man-Caused AH Fire Man-Caused All Fire 1M1 12S JU . 1 1M1 U M . 4 7 IMS 4S 71 1944 BS 129 S 1945 117 203 T 31 194T 111 ' 171 ' I 13 IMS S3 Ml 1 It 194 123 360 IS 31 1M figure unavailable.) While the percentage of man-made fire on KFPA has been a high or higher tn some other years, the actual number of such fires this year is especially disturbing.' In the state total, the 1949 figure is by far the worst for the period shown. Fires mount with human carelessness. The season has now advanced into an extremely dry situation, and the danger la extremely great. Everybody knows the rule. The thing now 1 to conform to them rigidly. , j These Days By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY WE all ought to like the Telephone company because it hu given us the best service tn the world, but when it sets up a system for giving telephones to UN officials, clerks and stenographers because they are attached to a government, and deprives American clllarn of their telephone, then the story ought to be told. During the war, the ar production board set up a system of distributing telephone on a basis of pilorttlra. There was a shortage of switchboards and instrument and wires and the war production board decided who was in essential work and had to have a telephone. Whether their decision was reasonable and equitable is a matter of opinion and may some day be discussed with more fact than are now available. When the war waa over and the war production board went out of existence, the priorities did as well. But the Telephone company was still short of uppUea, so they set up thetr own system of prior ities a follows: "A Official arm', navy, marine corps and coast guard units and veterans administration. "(B) Official federal, state, county and municipal government service. "C Official agencies of foreign governments." The United Nations cornea under class tC, not only for Itself but tor Its officials and personnel in their homes a well. Who. decide whether the person la entitled to a telephone? The secretary general of the United Nations, of course. He passe on it. The United NUons housing division takes car of the business. Unfilled Orders NOW. the United Nations will eventually be situated on Manhattan island in the city of New York where it is erecting a building that look like a tombstone. But temporarily It 1 at Lake Success, outside 'of Oreat Neck. A large number of Its personnel live tn Queens and Nassau coun ties, where there have been housing developments particularly for veterans. So what happens to telephones? The area has been declared a critical one. In one village, the Telephone company had. in June. 4900 unfilled order due to shortage ' of central office facilities. In a letter to an applicant an official of the New York state public service commission writes: "... If these central office facilities were avail able at the moment, it would result in a condition where some 2000 applicants would not receive service because of cable congestion. Relief 1 under wy in this area and Is expected to be available In No vember. This will give the company some WOO stations that they can use. However, all people from category 5 through category 9 will probably be delayed until the spring of 1950. Unfortunately, your application is in category 9 and unless a greater number of disconnects materialist than I expected, service wtll not be available for you until spring What puts thl applicant in category 9 to wait another year for a telephone? The fact, of course, that UN personnel, passed by the United Nations housing division and the secretary-general, come first. i Courtesy Not Low THERE b no law that set up these categories. There Is no federal law and no state law. There la no law that aaya that a UN official ts entitled to a telephone ahead of an American eltlsen. There ts no treaty between the United States and the United Nations which puts an alien ahead of an American. It la what might be called courtesy, but Is the American citizen not entitled to courtesy a well? It I like the automobile plate which the New York police give all sorts of United Nations per sonnel. The piste read "UN (Numeral).' When a policeman sees that plate, doe he know whether the Individual driving the car i on the blue list, which grant full Immunity under extra-Urrttorlallty, or on the white list, which provide limited Immun ity? What question must the policeman ask when he catches the UN license plate in a traffic In fraction like knocking down a woman tn Oreat Neck? The point of the matter Is that UN needs none of these privileges. It can move along as the rest of u do. If it were situated anywhere else In the world, all the privilege Its people want and claim would not give them a favorable conditions as art ordinarily provided here.

Ore, (To The Editor) I was very much Interest ed in your Saturday editorial against rubbish dumping on road sides, and the Impressive cartoon The Des pollers. Everyone having pride in our countryside will whole heartedly agree with most, tho probably not all you wrote. You used some rather strong language auggesting, "That anyone caught dumping rubbish should be ostra cised by his neighbors as a com mon criminal and punished by law etc. etc The reason I take exception to this Is that I do not believe that those whom you so severely de nounce are entirely to blame. Re cently I loaded some nice clean tree limb unto my trailer and in a happy mood set off for our o called city dump to dispose of them. Of all the dirty, disorganized and Inefficiently operated place, this take the cake. I had no alterna tive but to back my trailer into black cloud of smoke end pain fully and regretfully with the use of very unparliamentary language, unload it, resulting In my after ward having to visit my doctor and take penicillin treatment to remedy the physical damage done, and in remorse seek rehabilitation elsewhere for my mental and mor al aruruih. What I am awkwardly trying to express Mr. Editor I this. I, like most people have garbage hauled away weekly, but there ore infre quent occasion when It may be necessary to take a load to the city dump. Why Is it, its precinct are avoided? Imposing heavy fine on people I not the best preven tative. You ay "There I need for a county campaign against dump ing," and everyone will agree with you In thl. but may I suggest that a cleaner more efficiently operated city dump with less nails and glass around and a better road would be leas shunned by those owning trailer and would probably stop most of the despoiling of our countryside. Let's put some of the blame where It rightfully belongs. MALCOLM TEARE 1833 Melrose Railroad News R. H.
