Theie must eventually come a
time when we'll have to learn to
walk again. Because very shortly
there won't be any other way ol got-
ting from place to place. Despite
the cries of anguish coming from
Detroit and Flint manufacturers of
automobiles that production is
down there are more and more
cars on the streets than ever be
fore. Go downtown and try to get with
in a couple of blocks of your favor
ite store. In ' all probability you
won't be able to. All the parking
spaces will be filled, the streets
will be jammed w ith cars, the
highways leading into town will be
loaded wnn crawling cars ana eveninis car to wncre ne nws is uu-
the neighborhood streets will be
fairly well filled with motorists
trying to aim their jalopies in such
fashion as to avoid running down
numerous children.
With all this in mind we are
prompted to wonder whatever be
came of the proposals made so
bravely a few years back to in
stall off-street parking facilities in
Klamath Falls? That was about
the time that parking meters were
installed. Promises filled the air
thicker than sunlight that with the
fabulous amounts taken in by the
curbstone counters the city would
be able to buy and equip various
parking spaces to relieve the

Sage Sideglanees-
There never was a newspaper
guy who was more everlastingly
in trouble than was Mr. Kendall.
Hardly a day passed that he didn't
muss up the news somehow and
frequently get fired for it. Magic
like he'd be back at work next
dav, and maybe bounced again by
night. This went on and on while Mr.
Kendall got- away with murder.
Though I worked on the staff with
him for years I never knew his first
name. When one of his victims
would ask, "Who is that blankety
blank Kendall?" we'd Just say,
"Oh, he. isn't ther& any more."
Truth was Mr. Kendall never
' was there, because there never was
a Mr. Kendall, any more than
there ever was a "Harvey." It was
only when an irate reader was af
ter some reporter's scalp that Mr.
Kendall came to life, took the rap,
and became the most fired scribe
in history. It would be explained
that he was out of town, never to
' return, which helped appease an
angry caller.
Before days of objective report
ing and by-lines the newspaper,
rather than many identified special
ists took all of the glory or all of
the blame. The editor singlehand
ed had to meet all comers and
heal all wounds. A good one never
squealed on his boys.
The shrewdest martinet and one
of the best editors who ever bossed
me around was Earl Dean. He in
vented "Mr. Kendall." Frank Gan
nett inherited Kendall, with the rest
of us, when he came on the scene,
and kept him some-time.
Gannett was wont to say, on
strained occasions, that Kendall
was the best man on the staff.
Gradually the era of the by-line
abolished Mr. Kendall's Job.
I was considering myself a bit
of a veteran before I felt the im
pact of a by-line and realized the
responsibility that it imposed. Up
to then the paper, or Mr. Kendall,
had shouldered all of the blame
for the weird things that they let
me say.
Then one day, to my great sur
prise and momentary glee. I saw
my name above a first page story
with a screaming eight-column
headline. It was a slaughter house
story, reeking with overstatement.

Alas, soon I was to be begging
for by-lines, but had learned, since
Mr. Kendall no longer was with us,
that I must share the consequences
of my ravings, at least equally with
the paper and its editor.
- The debate still goes on as to
whether the by-line has been good
or bad for newspapertng. It brought
broad liberties for the by-liner,
but with it came a throttling of
the anonymous reporter, who no
longer may editorialize in the news
columns.
Those were merry, though hectic
times, before came today's objec
tive reporting. Wherein the reader
reaches his own conclusions, aided
only by a sometimes too learned
editorial page, which too seldom
analyzes the news that is closest

WASHINGTON W General
Eisenhower and Governor Steven
son, who seem to think like twins
on some of the biggest Issues, now
hnve the opportunity to:
1. Explain where there are any
real differences in their thinking.
2. Get down to cases, by being
specific, on what they'd do and
how they'd do it if elected.
They get the opportunity in their
campaign, that part of It requiring
speecn auer speecn aromia me
country, which opens this week.
Until now, although stating their
position on some Issues, they have
talked a lot in generalities, too.
' This is understandable, to a de
gree. Since their nomination they
nave been mending their political
fences, rounding up a campaign
staff, preparing themselves for ttie
speechmaking part of the cam
paign, and at tne same time Keep
ing in the public eye through news
conferences.
This is the usual period, the calm
before the storm, when a candi
date has the luxury of being
against sin and for the Golden
Rule without having to say too pre
cisely how be Intends erasing the
sin or establishing the rule.
But, since Eisenhower or Steven
son nil be running the country the
next four years, voters who hope
to make an intelligent choice be
tween them expect to be informed
in some detail on how the candi
dates will go about doing what
they say they'll be doing.
This will give some idea of the
twin-like quality , ol the candidates
up to this point according to state
ments they have made about, some
of the issues:
Arming Our Allies and Stopping
Communism Around the World:
Both are for it.
Going Into Korea: Both approve,
although Eisenhower, without ex
plaining exactly where, blamed the
Truman administration for steps
leading up to the Korean War.

it came no nearer.
He swam harder. No progress.
The fat man realized he was

Fear washed through him and he
began to flail the water wildly with
leaden arms.

one of the bovs he had seen on the

apparently is against both of them,
too. He eluded Elsenhower for even
considering them worth mention.
He caned mem obsolete.
. Mlddle-of-the-Road: Both say
mat s just wnere uicy are.
Taft-Hartley Labor Act: This Is
labor, which President Truman
promised to wipe out entirely
through repeal. Neltnor Elsenhow
er nor Stevenson ha; mentioned
repealing it. Both have suggested
maybe it could be amended a bit.
Corruption In Government: El
senhower savs he'd clean out cop
ruptlon. Stevenson says he'd clean
out the "mess" and be ruthless
against corruption.
Tax Cut: Both for It and think
it possible, but not right away.
FEPC tKair Employment Prac
tices Commission): Both against
racial discrimmalion and both in
dicated they're against compulsory
FEPC.
Tidelands: Here there Is some
disagreement. Stevenson, in talks
Saturday with Gov. Allan Shivers
of Texas, said the basis for his
stand must start with a Supreme
Court decision that the federal gov
ernment, not the states, has para
mount Interest In the offshore oil
reserves. He wouldn't go along
with the idea of complete state
control of the reserves, but sug
gested an "equitable arrangement"
that would protect both state and
federal Interests. Elsenhower, in
discussing the tidelands matter,
once said, "I am one who obeys
the Supreme Court." But ne has
also said he would favor legisla
tion by Congress giving the states
control over their submerged on
riches.
Aside from the tldeland ques
tion, if there's any big difference
in the outlook of the two men. It
hasn't appeared yet, except that
the Democrat says tne uemocram
can run tne government mim
while the Republican says tne re
publicans are the boys for the Job.
He wondered about what the local
paper would print about his death
... he wondered about nls wife . . .
and then all wonder left him.
He was a blind blob of flesh
slogging in a blind sea. He no
longer could feci the rcnect move
ments of his arms and legs. He
had lost the direction of the shore.
Then through the gathering fog
of numbness tne lace ot the boy
swam again Into view. The fat man
thought he was. dreaming. But be
hind the face came three more
faces the girl and. the other two
boys.
"Here, climb on this," the boy
sald. pushing forward a rubber
play raft. Like eels the (our teen
agers surrounded the (at man,
lifted him on the raft. He hugged
it as K It were his mother.
They began to push the rait
through the waves, expertly guid
ing it slantwise toward the shore.
As each wave broke over him the
tat man swallowed part of it.
They neared the beach. A great
towering wave rose behind them.
"Now!" shouted one boy. "Give
it everything!"
The (at man kicked (eebly. The
green, foam-crested wave picked
them up man, girl, boys and raft
and tumbled them in a heap into

his (orehead grating against the
sandy bottom.
The hungry sea clutched to pull
him back, and he had no strength
to (ight it. Then hands grabbed
him and dragged him up on the hot
dry sand.
He opened his eyes and saw a
sky that framed (our tanned anx
ious young faces. The girl ran and
got some paper napkins and began
to wipe his bleeding forehead.
The fat man looked up at them,
each In turn.
"You kids. . .you wonderful. . .

and tears began o run down his
