One ol our boys is leaving.
Jim Morrison, who once was a
Klamath Falls schoolboy, went to
work for the Klamath News as
night editor before the war, when
we still published the News as a
separata morning edition. . .
Then, Just In time to catch Uie
headaches of publishing during
World War II, he bought the Bum
Valley Star at Dorris. He and his
wife. Wllla. put out the Star dur
ing most of the war. and sold out
in the summer of IMS.
With the deal to sell his paper
In the wind, Jim Miked to us
about going to work here to gel
some more advertising experience.
Yours truly was a one-man ad
staff at the time, while Jus Mc
Donald wore the navy blues. It
was decided that Jim would be a
member of the ad staff untU. Mc
Donald got back. He had the Idea
of working until then, and then
buying another weekly paper.
So Jim sold the Siar, took a va
cation, and went to work for the
Herald and News.
Jim went to work the lirst of
October; Mac got out of the navy
and came back to work the first
ot November.. . ..
. That tour of one month's ad duty
didn't end It. That one month
stretched out to more than six
years. But now Jim Is leaving.
Hell go to m-ork for The Oregonian
in Portland the first of the year.
The Morrisons will move to their
new home In Portland next week.
Il takes nerve to unroot a lam
lb', cut all ties and embark on a
iew career in the sharp, cold com
petition of a city.
We doff our hats to Jim. and to
Willa and the two boys, and wish
him real success on the big paper.
When opportunity comes up, as it
does more often on a big opera
tion in a big town, we're sure that
Jim will be ready.

by then.
Truman could (A) dump tne
problem in the lap of the wage
stabilisation board, which he migot
oo In preference to using (B) the
fait-Hartley act, through which he
could delay a strike SO days. j
so doubl the president will han
dle the case aelicately- since Mur
ray is one of bis strongest baccers
and it isn't politically smart to
alienate your friends unnecessarily.
But the president, has another
and, so far as the rest cl the
country Is concerned, a stronger
reason for being careful here: if
he pokes a hole In the anti-Inflation
curtain to help Murray, liv
ing costs go up.
The steelworkera want a new
contract giving them higher wages
and other benefits. Murray warns
they won't work without a con
tract and If they don't have a new
one when the old one ends January
1, they'll strike.
Tne U.S. Steel Corp. says It can't
raise wages a penny unless the
government permits it to raise
prices to pay for the raise, which
thus rams tne whole dispute hod
en Into the anti-inflation program:
CEILINGS ON BOTH
The government's office of price
stabilisation (OPS) and the wage
stabilisation board (WSB) have put
ceilings on prices and wages to
keep both of them down.
It It breaks the ceilings in this
case to avoid a steel strike, then
it has opened the door for other
unions and companies to demand
higher wages and prices.
Of course, there's a question of
whether the Industry, out of its
present profits, can afford to raise
wages without needing a price in
crease to pay for them.
If it can, it would seem the dis
pute can be settled bv January I
between the union and the indus
try, and nobody gets hurt. But its
own statement that it can't taken
at face value would indicate the
OPS and WSB will have to get
into this mix-up before it's over.
This is what the president can
do if a strike seems certain on Jan
uary l:
1. Taft-Hartley. Under this law
he could declare that a strike
would create a national emergen
cy. The attorney general would ask
can strike
i So this method could delay a
strike but not. in the eneV prevent
it. Further: if the injunction were
Issued around January 1. the 80
days would be up in mid-March.
By that time John L. Lewis' coal
miners could be on strike. Their
present contracts end in Marrh.
A coal and steel strike at the
same time would be a beaut.'
EXAMINING BOARD
1. WSB. The president could ask
the board to examine the dispute.
It would. And It would malt; rec
omendation.. Neither the union
nor the Industry would have to ac
cept the board's recommendations
although public opinion would sup
port the board, putting pressure
on both sides to accept.

Interested in voting In Klamath

Those who don't will be dropped.
Because of the ooll book cleans
ing now underway it is lmoosslble
to get an accurate check on how
registration figures . stand for
Klamath county just now. Probably
a hard and fast count will not be
obtained before April 16, when the
books are closed prior to the com
ing May 16, 1952 primary election.
But the Republicans are gaining.

I'OMMl'NITY Cfle: ST
KLAMATH FALLS I attended
the meeting of tha director of our
community chest held Wednesday
(December 111 and reported on
freely In your paper on Thursday,
including tha plan I proposed at
aald meeting to raise tha I3S.0O0
still needed ta make the 1151 ohest
a 100 percent auccess.v
"I am a nut," I told the chest
meeting but sometimes It takes a
nut with a cutty idea to reach the
people and get things dene.
My plsn ta copied from a town
la the East, about the aire of
Klamath Falls, which needed 155.
00 ts finance a children's hospital.
Tha mayor and several prominent
eltltens cooperated were sen
tenced la Jail and dressed in flashy
prison stripes. Then the good pee-
fue of tne tewa came aovn to see
hem and donated funds to ball out
the poor prisoners. The money
poured tit loo percent, lot af fun
and nobody hurt.
Now for th loeal play: We have
a mayor wa the people pay a BIO
salary and his time la ours. A day
or two In the clink would make a
better mayor of him and help a
very worthy cause. Then there Is
Judge Reeder of the county court.
We all voted for him and he sure
ly om-es a few hours "doing time."
One maverlek from the city coun
cil could heln the fun too. And
there's Sheriff Sack Franey who
always gets hur man and would be
a goad man ta gat. Then we come
to the mtnlstera ef eur churches,
always reedy te help a good cause
as well aa punish ua with some
terrible aermons. Two of these
should a summoned te court and
put away until they see the light
and mend their ways.
Why a fsney new city jail ex
cept for our bast eitliens? With
th cooperation af press, radio and
our best chert workers I firmly be
lieve this plan would succeed In
reaching our goal and give our
children many good things they
will not otherwise receive.
Th Klamath community has a
big heart. We are a too percent
county, not a M pereent county. We
giv to help ourselves, our commu
nity chest.
We ran make It a loo percent
success.
