By FRANK JI.NKINH
Rarney Bartich, elder lnlcninn
mid park bench philosopher, buck
I nun a two-mouths trip lo Kurnpe,
tells reporter) at Uio duck In Now
York:
"I wnnt to let which rrosldon
Hal candidate linn the greater
WlfMXiM AND FORTITUDE; to
lirnt Inflation before I dnclite whom
to buck t Words alono won't
do It , , . It will take lorlltude."
lie added:
"Inflation. If not beaten, will do
troy any economic or foreign poll
cv we make."
He nilulil have added Uint It will
destroy all ol ua II we don't got
II under control, lie would Imve
plenty of historical backing for
jiucli t tatemenl.
Because It la ao pat, I'd like to
tell hern the story of John Law
and hln Mlaalaalppl Hubble, Hut It'll
loo long, Suffice 11 to aav thai he
nold to Uie governing power ol
Frame laonie two oenturlea ago)
l he Idea Uiat his scheme would
help to pay off the Iiuko public
debt thai Louis XlV'a wara and
foolish extravagances had saddled
uin Uie nallon,
i In essence, hla aoheme was baaed
on spending more than was taken
In and using printing preu minify
to make up the difference. It DID
N'T pay off the Trench debt. In
stead, It ran up an astronomical
NEW debt.
The final result of It was that
a very lama part ol the iieople ol
France lost everything thev had
whrn Uie bubble llnnlly burnt.
This waa the traurdv ol It:
'I lioi,o who lost llirir all were
lh WORKING. PRODUCING peo
pie of France. Those who cume
out ahead wera the apeculators,
I he sharpies, Die last-buck boys,
the smartles who made It quick
and tailed It away In Hold which
they burled or shipped out of Uie
country.
It will be that way here If we
lack the fortitude to atop uilluilon
boforo It la loo late.
Our mountlna inflation bas lis
tragedies already, ,
who are they?
Do you know any pensioners
cither those who have retired on
company pensions or on social ao
curliy? Do you know any wldowa
whose sole support la bond Inter
est, or soma other form of FIXED
Income? Or anybody who retired
on fixed Inoome from aavlnira?
If ao, you know someUiIng ol the
tragedy that la beginning already
to stalk, our land. These people
thought they were comfortably
fixed for life. Instead, they find
themselves facing comparative pov
erty. U will be REAL poverty aa
the buying power of their dollars
shrinks still further under growing
Inflation.
Cruel things like that shouldn't
happen to a dog. Dut that's what
inflation doea.
We've forgotten John Law and
hla Mlestsalppl Bubble. But a slml
( lar character la closer lo us In
time. He was Lord Maynard
Keynes, Ho sold to our governing
powers that Idea that ws could
spend ourselves ricb and pay olf
our debt by deficit financing. He
nM lh Bunta trlfk In ftrllnln.
Keynea has been gathered lo his
fathers, but we are beginning to
pay the bill for the goods he aold
us. The bill la being paid by the
i.sme kind of people who paid It In
France a couple of centuries ago.
Payment Is being DODGED by
the unit kind of people who
dodged payment In France two
hundred years and mora ago.
That la what Bernard Barurh
means when he says Inflation will
DESTROY us If we lack the wis
dom and the fortitude to beat It
while there la atlll time.
Personally, I'll take a chance on
Ike as the Presidential candidate
most likely to possess the fortitude
to brat Inflation before It destroys
us, He knows the hard way Is often
the best way. That's how he won
the war In Europe. The way he
did It wasn't easy. But It worked.
I'm afraid that Stevenson, with
all his charm and hla tolerance
and hla decency and his seeming
middle-of-the-road philosophy, has
fallen too much under the Influ
ence of our leaders who bought
the Keynea somethtng-for-nothlng
scheme.

Pay On Ballot
The proposition of raising the
salary of tiie Klamath Falls pollco
Judge from Its present 8325 a
month to $375 Is to be placed on
tne city oatiot to oe voted on Nov.
4.
A resolution putting the proposal
up for vole was adopted lust night
by the City Council.
Since the salary of all cleottve
Klamath Falls officers Is estab
lished by charter, a charter amend
ment Is necessary to raise the pay
and the charter can be amended
only by popular vote.
If adopted, the higher pay rate
would bo effective next January,
Tho title "police Judge" for the
Job Is something of a misnomer.
In addition to the function as pre

Klamath Falls police Judge actu
ally Is city clerk, charged with
responsibility for most of the city's
official bookwork and money hand
ling. He Is Iho practical head of

$60,000 Suit
Filed In KF
A 860,000 damage suit against
Uie Southern Pacific has been
transferred from Multnomah Coun
ty to the Circuit Court here on
change of venue.
The suit waa brought bv John
T, oumn of Portland, who claims
that he was roughed up and taken
off Ihe SP's northbound Cascade
here in Klamath Falls July 22,
Qulnn Is suing for $10,000 per
sonal Injury and $50,000 punitive
damages. E. A. Culp, who was
conductor of the train and who Is
now dead, also Is named as a
defendant along with the railroad.
On Uie night in question, Qulnn
approached Ucket agent at the
depot and said he had come In
on an earner train, naa gotten oil
but had left his through ticket to
PorUand aboard, and the train had
gone off without him.
He wanted to get on No. 12, the
Cascade, next norUibound train
out.
He was Informed that he should
buy another ticket for No. 12 and
that wncn he got to Portland If
he could prove he had a previous
ticket lie would get a refund.
However, Qulnn got on No. 13
without buying a ticket and when
Culp. the conductor, came around
he found that the passenger had
neither ticket nor reservation. He
asked Qulnn to leave and when he
didn't, called City Police Who look
mm off tne train.
He was taken to the police sta
tlon, but was not arrested, and the
police officer who took Qulnn off
the - train said he wasn't beaten
and no force was used to remove
him.
Qulnn filed the damage suit In
Portland Oct. 23, 1951, and the mo
tion for change of venue was made
by Oordon Gearin, SP attorney, on
grounds that It would be more
feasible to bring the trial here than
to bring several witnesses for the
railroad from Klamath Falls to
Portland. .

Authorities
Probe Crash
WACO. Tex. Wl Authorities
worked Tuesday to determine Just
how many persons died in the flam
ing crash of two Greyhound buses
near here Monday.
Meanwhile, civilians working lor
the military barred newsmen and
others from Uie morgue where Uie
bodies are held.
Shortly thereafter, the executive
editor of Uie Waco Times-Herald,
angered at what, he called "cen
sorship." telephoned Washington
authorities and got :he ban against
reporters and others entering the
morgue lifted.
At; least 28 bodies have been
recovered from Uie collision and
flame wrecked buses, but a pile
of charred flesh and bone re
mained for classification and
identification.
Only seven of the dead had been
positively identified by mid-morn-ng,
30 hours after Uie wreck oc
curred. TWehty-five persons were listed
as injured but none were reported
in -critical condition.
Executive Editor Sam Wood of
the Times-Herald said one of his
reporters, Mary Ann Jennings, was
barred from the Compton Funeral
Home morgue by a Waco police
man. The policeman said he was act
ing under orders to bar persons
from entering Uie morgue.
The order came, Wood reported,
from two civilians, an identifica
tion team from Wright Patterson
Air Force Base, Dayton, O. They
were R. L. Trask and R. W. Rals
ton. James LaBlond, head of the Mc
Lennan County (Waco) Civilian
Defense Agency and himself a
mortician, said he was barred from
the morgue.
Wood said he believed the
morgue was closed so that no
identification of military personnel
would be made until military au
thorities released Uie names.
"This is no longer a matter of
military courtesy," Wood said.
"Too many civilians are involved.
We'll play ball with them on their
military posts but not In this situ
ation." Meanwhile, one more victim was
identified through dental work,
fingerprints, scraps of paper In his
billfold and his weddhi band.
He was Charles W. Wright, sta
tioned at Carswell Air Force Base,
Forth Worth.
He was en route to the base

Lewis Says
Miners Yant
Agreement
WASHINGTON W The specter
of another Industry throttling
strike before the steel mills have
had a chance to get back to full
blast production arose Tuesday as
John L. Lewis served notice that
ins united Mine Workers' con
tracts are ending next month.
Lew-is. president of the mine
workers union, wrote Joseph E.
Moody, president of the Southern
coal Producers Association, that
his present work contract will ex
pire Sept. 30.
That's 60 days from the date on
Lewis' letter. Terms of the exist
ing contract provide termination
upon 60 days' notice by either side,
SHUT DOWN
The notice to Moody, following
by 10 days similar word to the Bit
uminous Coal Operators Associa
tion. Is certain to mean a shut
down of all but a small portion of
soft coal mining the end of next
month unless Lewis. Moody and
Harry M. Moses agree on new con
tract terms. Moses heads the Bitu
minous Operators Association, re
presenting an estimated 240 mil
lion tons of annual production.
much of It owned bv the steel in
dustry. The Moody group pro
duces around 100 million tons
year.
Lewis, it was also learned Mon
day, has served contract termina
tion notice on the anthracite, or
hard coal Industry, which employs
100.000 miners. The bituminous dig
gers number 4M.000.
WESTERN OPERATIONS
Still not a party to the series of
recent Lewis letters are operators
in Indiana and the Far West, with
an estimated 40 to 50 million tone
a year and a scattering of soft
coal producers in a dozen ether
states.
In the last 10 years or more.
Lewis and the soft coal operators
have reached a contract agree
ment without a strike or slowdown
only once in 1951.
The 1951 agreement, which was
signed Jan. 18 and boosted miners'
daily wages $1.60, was influenced
by knowledge that the government
was about ready to slap a wage
freeze on the nation. The freeze
came a weeK later out because ol
1951 agreement had already been
signed Lewis is now entitled to a
minimum of 10 or 11 cents an hour
wage boost for all his bituminous
miners to compensate for cost of
living increases since Jan. 26. 1951.
A soit coal industry olllcial said
there is little likelihood of any full-
scale bargaining talks for several
weeks.'
