THIS fellow Harry Truman ha a way of slicking to people he rate aa friends that preaenta a heart-warming picture of Mr. Truman aa a man, but la disturbing for a public official who at time ace mi to be a poor Judge of th meaning of real friendship. To our way of thinking. It Is not loyalty to us a "friendly" relationship with the president of th United Slate In a way some people har obviously been using It. No real friend of anybody In power, big or little, will creat a situation that makes him and his official group vulnerable to criticism and suspicion. One of the penalties of public nffir for a sincere Individual. Is th necessity for placing friendship on a dif ferent basis than that which exists In private lit. Often one cannot "do things" for friends that h would like to do. People who ar th genuine friends of public officials do not expect these things from them. If given themselves positions of trust and authority, they follow scrupulously a covin that will protect their benefactor and friend from public suspicion and distrust. IT. on th other hand, they us th friendly relationship or th power given them in a way that invites suspicion and distrust, they ar not true friends and should be told to close th door as they go out. The gent who first said a public office is a publio trust had something. o o o furg Kick-Bock NOT unexpected is th resentment exhibited by many grangers to the so-called "purge" which came out of the recent session of the state grange. This feeling is vigorously expressed In th resolu- tion adopted by th Klamath county Pomona grange and released today for distribution to other Pomona groups for considers tion of similar action. It is reported that some grange In Malheur county. ,and possibly elsewhere, have expressed themselves) along the same line. At the ruts grang meeting, political death waa threatened against 7X legislators who voted for House Resolution T at th recent legislative meet ing. Many of th most able men In the legislature wer marked for punishment. Including Ed Geary and Henry 8emon ot Klamath county.. House Resolution T, which. Incidentally did not pass, provided for a distribution of petition signing requirement on Initiative and referendum Issues on a congressional district basis. Th Idea wss to require that a certain percentage of th petition signatures be obtained In each district, thus pre venting th possibility of obtaining th necessary signatures In one area. The theory waa that If a statewide vote Is going to be called for. th petitions requesting that election should likewise be on a broad basis. Ther Is nothing in that Ides , .that sounds nefarious to thla department, or would justify th drastic action proposed by the state grange Purthermore, the change proposed would have goo to th people for a rot before tt could become law.."- Klamath Pomona grange feels aa w do about It. Th Henley grange passed a resolution condemning th "purge" action of tha state grange, and th Pomona grange approved th Henley resolution. It 1 a natural kick-back from people who bellev tn tn right of sincere legislator to exercise their best Judgment and resent concerted action against a lawmaker simply on th Usis of a single vote on an Issue which Is at least open to argument on Its merits. a o Thingt Aren't Th Soma Any Mora AN old Klamath Palls tradition has passed. You cant mall first class matter or any other mat- -ter on the northbound West Coast train at th depot any more. The station mailing has always been remarkably popular here. The northbound box at th depot haa been loaded, night after night, and big pieces of mail have adorned Its exterior. Lou of people have made It a habit to mail In the slot on th side of the mall ear. It simply got to be a Klamath tra dition. But lft all over now. P.O. officials tell ma that These Days M" IVr GEORGE E. SOKOLSKV R. WILLIAM B. WOODBURY writes ma a. follows: w anew ur. wiiuam Wirt Intimately and liked him a a neighbor and associate. He hsd a nice property her to which he brought his family year after year when his duties as sup erintendent of the public schools at Oary. Indiana, wer over till tall term. Dr. Wirt also had at one time extensive and valuable real estate holdings in Oary. When he divulged the chatter that went on at the party at Georgetown the 'new deal' set out to 'get him.' "Henry Ford ithe late lurmshed him with legal counsel In person of former U. 8. Senstor Jim Reed ' of Missouri, democrat, who was one of the ablest I and most powerful lawyers in Americsn public life I at th urn. Even Reed was mowed down with scant courtesy and Dr. Wirt waa made out to be I an irresponsible fuss budget) j auirw urrw ot rus intensive patriotism and felt he was telling the truth which was. ot course, distasteful to th red lunatic, fringe so tealously counea oy me late rxw. "After trying to -make a monkey out of Dr. Wirt before the committee of the U. 8. senate and hold ing him up to ridicule to the country, they did not stop there. The bank examlneis wer turned loos on the banks tn Oary and elsewhere, who hsd ad vanced money on the Wirt real estate operations. His loans wer called, his properties sold and he waa ruined. His property her at Diamond Point was sold for taxes, his two children, a son and a daughter, and wife Impoverished, and Dr. Wirt and his wife died of a broken heart- Wallace Laughed Charges Off PRETTY tough, that. And then I came across a dipping in which Congressman John O'Connor, who waa the second ranking member ot the com mittee that heard Wirt's charges, said: "The procedural motion, which I personally pre sented, limited the hearings to an examination of Dr. Wirt under oath to bring out the name and the exact statements of his Informants. Over the protests of th minority members, any examina tion of "other persons.' connected in any way with said activities, waa precluded. "Dr. Wirt waa not allowed to have his counsel cross-exsmln ' witnesses, nor was he called In re buttal after they had presented - their well-staged' denials. "I use tha word "well-staged' advisedly because It waa known that at least six of them met and rehearsed their denials ot what they had told Dr Wlrt." Many of the men. now up on disloyalty charges, who object to th methods ot the house committee on un-American activities, wer responsible, in 134. for th destruction, physically and mentally, of this fine American. Henry Wallace, for. Instance, laughed Wirt's charge off. by saying: "It is amazing th state of mind that newspapers can create at times." William Wirt, himself, (aid. In 1934: - "I am not seeing red, nor am I going around looking under beds for fascists and communists. I am not engaged In a manhunt. "I Just want to call national atention to th fact that so-called Intellectual radicals' ar changing government without a revolution of bloodshed . "I bellev trujt, aa American eiUxens. we should be permitted to discus government openly and freely and change the form If we want to do to . . SIDE GLANCES lr TNK '""' usvm. art t. a. era. a at. arr. 'Florence feeli to out of thingt all her friend at camp have had terrible experience and th hatn't even been rescued from drownins-i" Told Tha Truth IP we look at that plctur tn 1M. w know that Dr. William Wirt of Oary. Indiana, waa telling th truth and that- he was destroyed for telling th truth. His main targets were Henry Wallace and Rexford Ouy TugweU. Where arc they now? Henry Wallace la the darling end also the prisoner of the communists, following every twist and turn of their International policy, and TugweU Is for gotten as a political figure, although he was for a short time resuscitated to head th resolution committee of th ma progressive convention. When the Wirt episode Is studied In relationship to the testimony of Louis Budent. .Elisabeth BenUey, Whittaker Chambers, Henry Julian Wadlelgh. and with what is being disclosed at the trial of the 11 communist leaders In Judge Medina's court In New York, It Is clear that th United Bute was being fouled by torn of It officials In the 1830 s. Pouled Is a mild term for betrayal. Arnold Puts OK On B-36 Bomber SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. IT (IP, The B-39 bomber, which Is under Investigation by a congressional subcommittee, hsd the approval of Oen. Henry H. (Hap) Arnold, war time air force commander. The retired general made that statement yesterdsy in advance of the committee's inquiries on the west coast concerning th long range bomber. "Political favoritism and business relationship had nothing to do with th selection of the B-3e as a long rang military bomber," Arnold told newsmen yesterday. "I should know. I am the one who selected it He described the B-3 as th "best of its kind and time" and aald Its performance had demonstrated it waa well chosen.

If we accept ' that as a valid premise it opens up startling pos sibilities. Foremost Is the strong prooaoimy that we shall see de velopment of a tlerc rivalry between O e r many and Eng land for leader ship of western Europe. Britatn already seems to be taking note of this likelihood. For example, the London Dally Express. alter retemng t o charges of Oerman abuse of the Ayied occupation powers, says Biuntiy: -Before It la too late the Brtllah should get tmih with the firmans. who have net given mp the ha. f worhjrtr Mr humiliation and ruin.
