Was dis cussing the Crater Lake murders with Lloyd Low, ex-sheriff (24 years in officei. when we got off on the . subject ot guns in general. One thing led to another and the newest mystery was unearthed. Remember back a few years when Klamath Falls went all out and staged a centennial celebration? And at the time Chet Barton and a companion or so look off for a tour of the state to advertise it? Well, part of the paraphanelia ot that trip consisted on old time v garments and guns. One of the guns to go on the trip was an old time nogleg owned by Judge U. E. Recder. The Judge says it was the original gun that his great-uncle Slug packed from Plymouth Rock to the Rock Candy Mountains. Be that as It may, the gun went along on the trip. On the party's return " the gun was added to a couple or so more pistols owned by Lloyd and left in his office. About this time it was that a local merchant wanted to do his part for the celebration and put in a window display. So he borrowed the guns from Lloyd. With Lloyd's blessing, of course. And there the story ends. The guns were never,returned. And the sad part of it is that Lloyd can't for the life of him remember who it was he loaned 'em to. The high desert Hawkshaw holds CAUGHT In By DfcB An interesting point was raised by HolUs Hull, head of the Oregon Legion, in a talk to service clubs here Friday. It was the same point made by Senator Harrv Byrd of Virginia, that was referred to here the other day. Sen. Byrd said that one of the characteristics of the venal de generation of our present govern ment Is that of "amorality." Amo rality sets in, the senator explained, when we are so hard ened by all that we observe around us that we are no longer able to distinguish the moral trom the immoral. Hollis Hull, speaking for the non partisan American Legion, was critical of our foreign policy of the past seven years. In commenting on American dol lars being sent to foreign countries (billions in reUef immediately after the war, and billions through the Marshall Plan) he took the stand we 6hould expect a return, in some form, for every dollar sent abroad. He went on to say that such a stand had been criticised as being immoral. Since when, he asked, has the solid American principle of an honest return for an honest dollar become immoral? What the world needs from the United Stales is leadership, Hull said, not the free gift of dollars. ! Speaking ot dollars, notice came to this paper Thursday that the price of - newsprint has gone up 10 dollars a ton as of now. ' The price of Canadian paper ad vanced 10 dollars a few months Truman Turns Party Banner To New Democratic Choice CHCAOO (PI President Tru inan turned over the Democratic standard to Adlal 6tevenson Sat urday and looked forward to the role of elder statesman. ' But, the fire of the political war horse burned brightly as ever as . he headed homeward into a hot Missouri party primary. ' In a sort of swan song to the Democratic Party as its leader, he offered to whistle-stop the coun try for nis successor.

' "The only trouble was," he said, ''we had to pick one and leave the others out." ; He went on: : "We are going out of here an Inspired and fighting party, dedi cated to the welfare of the people. OTI To Hold Police School Training of Southern Oregon po licemen in Civilian Defense tech niques has been scheduled for the Oregon Technical Institute campus Aug. 14-15, according to Klamath County Civil Defense Director Joe LaClair. About 40 policemen plan to par ticipate In the training, being given by a military-instructor team of the Sixth Army, out of Fort Lewis, wash. ' The trainees, upon completion of the cc-jrsc, will serve as explosive orirAce reconnaissance agents, The training is primarily for municipal and state police officers, sheriff's deputies and representa tives of the Federal and State forestry departments. Washington and California, ac cording to the Six;-, Army- have already completed i!s training In the treatment of explosives. BILL JENKINS Managing Editor JENKINS as his opinion that the merchant, when he tore down his display, put the guns in a box with the uilcmion ot returning them. And then with one thmg and another forgot all about it. Thusly. they must still be laying around, alone and tor gotten in the basement ot some store. It anyone can remember the event or happens to (ind a box of pistols that he doesn't know any thin? about, lake em down to Lloyd He doesn't care much about his own equalizers but Uie judse at taches a lot of sentimental value to his uncle Slug's pet revolver.

And we think it is wonderful to have them here having a wonder ful time. It has been many a long year since the state confab has headauartered here.

Incidentally, the chest X-rav Is not a kid's Drogram. Chest X-rays, in adults, detect almost as much heart trouble and cancer as they do tuberculosis. In all cases the Important thing is early detection and diagnosis. When was your chest X-rayed last? Let's close on a pleasant note. Turn to the society section. You'll note that Mrs. Hjalmar Rathe looks like Lily Pons, the opera star. Mrs. Harry Mangan looks like Elizabeth Taylor, the movie star. We are bound to win this elec tion." "You have met the issues head on. the only way to meet them," Truman declared, in praising the 1952 party platform. There was much of the old "give 'em hell" in what he said, but there was evidence that much of his talk was tailored to the dif ferent tempo of Stevenson. He taunted the Republicans. He said they can't understand "why it 'is the Democrats keen winning Plf.tlrmc " "Thev think thpre i som. kinrt ii i, . ' sa a' Bnd rrv7. , fiir. ...""l1-,.8" "JS Is." The reason, he said. Is that the democrats give the people "the kind of government thev want." When he stepped up with Steven son, the apolau?e was so loud and prolonged, the President kept call ing for quiet, as If anxious to step out of the snotlight In favor of the new nominee. He said he thought Stevenson made a coori impef.lv T tu,. ,t. dent bv his annlause, by the emo- jiuns miecieu in nis changing fac ial expressions.

And in the dark that precedes the dawn he went hnrfc in hi hotel. He flew to his home In Inde pendence, Saturday, where he will remain until he votes Aug. 3 In the Missouri primary.

In the nation's bid steel centers preparations were rushed to heat up the blast furnaces that were banked when the strike began. Along the upper reaches of the Great Lakes, the big ore carriers made ready to resume their runs waiting only for final agreement over terms that would send 23,000' Iron ore workers in Minnesota back to their mines. Munitions plants, which closed down after scraping the bottom of the steel barrel, . were set to re open. Freight carriers waited at tne gates of many steel plants to load finished tlnplate stored in the idle mills.

A grcal . roar went up as the president quick-stepped out, strut ting like a bantam rooster. You could tell the great pride Bess has In that little fighter. I thought hor eyes reddened with tears at this last great tribute to him, but If there were tears Bess dldn t both er to wipe them away. it was a big hour for him. as he launched into his favorite sport giving the Republicans hell. But it was a bigger hour for her, the signal for their return to a private liie together after years of swim ming in tne public goldfish bowl of politics. Wilbur, you could see thev were both having a wonderful time. Alter tne resident finished nis batting practice against the Re publicans, he Introduced Gov. Adlal Stevenson, the new nominee. wen, reluctant Adlal took a gen erous stand. Ho forgave the con vention lor nominating him. an d ho was an awful small fellow for such a big Job, and then began slashing right and left at the Re publicans, He used a rapier, wbore as the President had been clubbing at them with a ball bat. Then the convention wound up its biggest evenimr with a real old- fashioned family hour. The dele gates were introduced to two of Gov. Stevenson's Uirce sons. The Veep nnd Mrs. Barkley came out, and finally Mrs. Truman Joined mem. It was a contrast between tho old and new In politics, the transi tion of one age to another, and the convention felt it and went wild with applause.

I suppose It was because sue felt she soon will have at last what every .woman waiiis her man to herseli, for the years they have left. Woll, Wilbur, I auppose you are less interested In woman talk Uian you are In what kind of a man una Adlal Stevenson Is. To tell you the truth, the delegates them selves are rather puzzled at this nominee iney were told they draft ed on the tnlrd ballot. Harry Truman looks and acts llko n small businessman who sud denly rose to great power and learned how to live with It. Bui Adlal Stevenson Is more like an aristocrat who has gone Inlo poli tics because he haa a sociological interest in Uie common man. What the delegates find hard to under stand Is his humility. They aren't used to humility In either aristo crats or politicians. They agreed his speech of ac ceptance had literary miignlll cence and was full of great phrases such as when ho snoke of "thi, day when no one rattles a saber ana no one arags a chain." Hut when he said the Democratic party "Is the party of no one because it Is the parly of everyone," I heard one delegate aay: "What does he mean7 Can't he make up his mind?" Another delegate told him, "lis ten, nobody In politics has bocn ablo to sling words like him since Woodrow Wilson." "Well," said the first delegate, "I alwaya did hold that Wilson would have gone farther if ho had been able to speak in plain Eng lish. You don't have to warp your brain trying to understand Harry Truman." Anyway, honey, I'm coming home.
