A those words are written, King
J'arouk of Egypt has suddenly tak
en the bull by the hnniN nntl fired
his premier ulong Willi nil I ho cab
inet that apparently was Just abut
, ready In break diplomatic rela
tions with Britain mi net Hint
could easily have started nhootlng

Score one lor tlio fat boy. lie

hnndlnd It decisively. There mny
or coume bo war yet down In thn
exploitive Hum ennnl .one. where
tempers hnve been worn rnw, but
nt IcuHt Fnrouk broimlil nbout n
pause that will give lime lor tlio
soberer nocond thought.
You never con tell iibout people.
- 80 far, Farouk has given ovl
deuce ol being nothing but n piny
boy, with Itlllo conception ot what
In wrong with hln country. Take
the cane of bin Just-bom noil und
heir. Farouk rushed olf en order
to PrlK lor ft M8.0O0 LAYETTE I
1. . TliouBht No. 1 :
How could you upend 138,000 for
11 layette? That 0110 la easy. Just
intimate to the Parlii baby coutur
iers that you hitve S28.000 Unit
you're wIIIIhk to port with, and
they'll do the real. Quick I before
you can change your mind.
Thought No. 2:
How could the ruler of it poverty-stricken,
dlseaso-rlddcn. down
trodden people Mich as the mod
ern Egyptian even THINK of
blowing 'J,000 for layette for
bin first-born son?
That ones oany, too. All you
hnve to do In to picture for your
self the abuses of power thut huve

world where for thousand of years
too much power has been held In
too few hands too long. ....
When too much power In held In
loo few hiindii TOO I.ONO. any

At this point, I'd like to lay a
little bet which I can't hope to

If In thin country the greatest
and the freest and the monl uni
versally top-lo-bottom prosperous
on earth we leave too much pow
er In too fow hands too long, we'll
unk Into a situation not essential
lv dissimilar to that of present

There are few exceptions to thut
law of history.
Anyway, by acting with decision
In a critical moment, Farouk In
jected some hope Into a stuto ot
affaire Jn which there had pre
viously been no visible gleam o
hope,
I'd like row to offer a word of
advice to one of the world's big
men. I'd dmlre greatly to aay
to him: ' - -
1 Deaf Mr Churchill- -
v In their hour of peril, your peo
ple have placed In your hands at
this moment when you have ex
ceeded by seven years the Biblical
anan of three (core years and ten
their fate.
ADVISE THEM, as strongly as
vou can, to read Dale Carneglea's
How to Win Trlenda and Influence
People. I'd suggest that you read
II yourself. It Isn't, of course, a
classic that has come down
through the centuries. But It con
tains some good hsrd common
sense on the subject of handling
people. It points out. among othor
things, that you can't handle mod
ern people with a club or with
naval squadron. If you wnnt to
handle modern people, Carnegie
savs, you have to MAKE THEM
LIKE YOU.
Over the great years of the Brit
ish Empire, you British never
unite succeeded In making people
like you. As a matter of fact. In
Ihe explosive Near and Middle
Ka.it and In dynamlle-lnden South-,
west Asia, mast of Ihe trouble that
hnngs heavy over our beads arises
out of Ihe fact that the people
DON'T like you.
Thev like you so little that, they
are willing to HURT THEM
SELVES In order to hurt you
,,)vorse.
Olve some thought to II, Mr.
Churchill, If, by some mnglc, you
could make the people of Hint part
of the world LIKE the British In
stead of hating them a lot of our
worries would be lessened.

Press said today. Southern Califor
nia Is beginning to feel the pinch
as potato shippers have been hold
ing back shipments !ln order to
pain an extra dime's revenue per
l,trtlrd:.j unds allowed them by
OPS for storage -after Feb. 1.
But reports from Washington,
DC, say now there may be lur
Uicr adjustments made on the
monthly storage allowance of n
dime for February and March, and
a nickel more for April and May.
A telegram received here lute
yesterday from Klamath Grower
Scott Warren, who has been at
tending OPS-grower sessions there,
reported storage price adjustments
f cll as base price ndjust-
nients for the basin may be an
nounced soon, perhaps today.
If such an announcement is de
layed, it also may delay the re
lease of shipments for sonic time.
So far this month, the locnl
slate department of agriculture's
figures show, 774 railroad carloads
of potatoes have been shipped to
markets, mostly In California, Ex
perts consider this fur below the
normal supply needed to meet the
demands.
California, which normally sup
plies a pood part of its own Dotnlo
Mipply, has reported nearly 3,000.
000 (M) bushels less this month
than it did a year ago, according

To Cut Unit
By WALLACE MYERS
The storm-tossed Tulana Farms-
Reclamation Bureau lease was still
tucked away In an Interior Dept.
pigeonhole In Washington yester
day, unsigned by the government.
It's been there since early Decem
ber with opposing factions sniping
and tiring salvos for and against
the lease.
The lease would give Tulana two
more years' use of 2314 acres of
iule sump crop land. The land,
once under water, was drained and
developed by Tulana starting in
1944.
Tulana's second lease on the
land expired Dec. 31. In October,
the Klamath Reclamation Bureau
office announced no new Tulana
lease would be granted, that the
2314 acres would be broken up
into eight plots for lease on vet
erans' preference basis.
But Interior Secy. Oscar Chap,
man reversed that decision and or
dered a new two-year lease for
Tulana. The lease was drawn- by
the Reclamation Bureau and signed
by Tulana in November.
Some ranchers In the Tule area
protested strongly. They held
meetings, passed several resolu
tions blasting Chapman's reversal
and bombarded Washington with
phone calls and telegrams against
the Tulana lease.
Ento0k up .The" cudgel fo? the
iuiana opposition. jigie requested
that the Interior Department hold
the lease in abeyance until he
could talk it over with Chapman.
That was In Npvember, Yesterday,
according to an Associated Press
dispatch from Washington, Engle
was still requesting a parley-wllb
ClK.pman.
But Engle now finds himself on
hot spot. In November, the tilt
appeared to be between Dick an
Ben Hcnzcl, operators of Tulana,
and several other Tule ranchers,
wnn tulana far outnumbered.
Then on Jan. 20, an estimated
10,000 sportsmen, members of the
Asfoclatcd Sportsmen of Califor
nia, took a stand against -breaking
up large land sections into small
tracts. That, in effect, added 10,
000 persons to the Tulana ranks,
throwing the numerical odds tre
mendously in favor of the Tulana
lease. 1
With Ennle coming un for re
election this year, action of the
10,000 sportsmen has, no doubt.
been of more than mild interest
to the congressman.
The Associated Sportsmen did
not mention Tulana in their action.
They were concerned with the
whole policy of breaking up large
plots.
But the Klamath-Modoc chapter
of the Iznak Walton League, did
single out the Tulana question and
tired a sizzling blast against Tu
lana's opposition. League members
charged the breaking up would not
only be injurious to wildlife but
thnt some of the ranchers opposing
Tulnna were not concerned solely
with seeing that a few veterans
got a break . . . The League men
charged that some of the veterans'
lease plots were actually being
farmed by older and ineligible men
who had veterans fronting for
them.
So the Tulana lease is still In
Washington . . .
And Representative Engle Is still
requesting a nearing.

McKinney
Not On Book
Of Empire
PHILADELPHIA Iff! The name
of Frank McKinney, Democratic
national chairman, never appeared
in the books of the Empire Tractor
Corp., of Philadelphia. Frank Co
hen, promoter of the defunct firm
testified Tuesday.
But, McKinney. who has acknowl
edged making $68,000 on a $1,000
common stock investment in the
firm, was definitely the owner of
the stock. Cohen told L. Leroy
Deininger, referee in bankruptcy
at a six-hour rehearing.
Cohen appeared to describe the
foundirur of the corporation and the
subsequent maze of stock deals
concerning Empire Tractor and Its
sister firm. Empire Ordnance Co.
The hearins was requested by
bankruptcy trustees who wish to
determine whether protits maae Dy
MeKtoneiu. -Eck . M. McHale,
Democratic national, commlttee
maTfrbm m'dfand, ana others, are
recoverable in any way.
The hearing was adjourned un
til Feb. 14.
Cohen told of reorganizing; Em-
Dire Tractor in August. 1946. He
said the deals with McHale, and
McKinney, followed within a few
months.
McKinney was named Democrat
ic national chairman last year, and
subsequently confirmed his profits
in the Empire transaction.
Cohen testified that at the time
of the sale to McKinney in 1946
he signed the stock certificates in
blank, concealing the name of the
purchaser, a practice he called not
uncommon. -
Cohen told how McHale and Mc
Kinney bought 1.000 shares of Em
pire Tractor common stock for $1
a share and 2.500 shares of pre
ferred at S10 each at a total cost of
S26.000. Ten months later, Cohen
said, he bought back the stock at
$68 a share.
