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:

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.

One of the long-range argument
about atomic eueigy In this coun
try Is whether Its development and
use should be mainly under military
control or civilian conlrul.
Ilia recent Investigation of th
atomic energy commission by Sen
ator lllt keiilooper on charges of mis
management prumpled fresh dis
cussion about turning control back
to military leaders. Many liberals
have argued vehemently that el
villana must be kept In chaige of
something so vital to the future of
civilised man as atomic enrigy wl'.n
its vast possibilities for good or fur
evil.
'Hie Issue of civilian versus mil
itary control was put behire votete
in a survey by Ute Institute. Ail '
Uiose voters who hsd followed the
Lllienihal Investigation were asked
this question:

DKCRIE8 DUMP CONDITIONS
KLAMATH FALLS. 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.
