io tne echoes a Uaaiuuiuus
vote bv the county court another
Klamath county landmark went
down the drain yesterday.
The AlKoma viewpoint was sent
to a final grave by the action of
the county court despite the pro
tests of a resident of the area.
The reasons Riven by the court
tor its acuon were uireeiola. it
seems that the viewpoint, being
out In the great wide open spaces
where there are no street lamps,
is a breeding place for vice, crime,
petting parties and a champion
spot for the younger generation to
Rather and fight their first battles
with that ol' debbll. nicotine. Then
there Is the lire hazard. The area
is thickly covered with a blanket
of cheat Rrass that is as explosive
as powder and a carelessly tossed
match could touch off a high des
ert Ouy Fawkes day that might
end In considerable damage. And,
thirdly, the penny-wise county
guardians were keeping a wary
eye on the purse strings. Main
taining a road lor no other purpose
than to offer tourists a scenic view
of the largest fresh water lake in
the North wesi didn't seem like a
very good idea to ti.e elders.
With the first idea I have little
sympathy. If we are to use the
same terminology in which this
resolution is couched we would
have to condemn huge portions of
the 3700 mile system of county
roads. There are plenty of dark
corners where vice can breed.
With the second two there is no
argument. The fire hazard Is
there and so is the maintenance
problem. We do a good deal of
crying about taxes and high costs
Ibis year, so it would not seem
reasonable or logical that we
should expend money on a purely
scenic road when our upkeep
problem is already so huge.
An offer was made by M. J.
Knight, who is a barber well known
around town and who purchased
the old Algoma schoolhouse. to
furnish ISOO for keeping the road
clear and in good shape and then
turning it back to the public. A
generous offer, but one that might
possibly end with considerable

NEW YORK tfl Mankind Is
divided Into two classes:
1. Those with hobbies.
1. People who enjoy life.
This Is fortunate, for the peace
of the world. For one of the spirit
ual requirements of a man with a
hobby is the existence of other peo
ple who have no hobby of their
own and are therefore free to ad
mire him for his.
There Is a legend that hobbyists
are happy in each other's company
because they share a mutual en
thusiasm - be it collecting old moss
Or two-headed butterflies.
But this is pure fiction. Because
two men are married do they like
to listen to each other talk about
their wives?
It is the same way with hobbles.
People with the same hobby bore
each other to death. How can one
stamp collector love another stamp
coSector if the second one has a
stamp the first cne doesn't?
They are not pals but mortal
enemies, divided forever by pride
and envy of possession.
It is the same way with people
who hoard first editions or match
book covers or do needlepoint.
That is why folks who are ridden
by a hobby horse need someone
like me.
My hobby Is collecting people
who have hobbies themselves, and
I can recommend it to you. It
works both ways. You give them
the praise they yearn for, and in
gratitude you reap whatever ad
vaptage their hoboy has for you.
But a word of caution is In or
der. Don t collect any old hobbyist
to admire. Limit your circle to
friends whose hobbies can be of

There is a gravel Dit at the top
of the hill, if you will remember,
that is owned bv the state. They
may occasionally take out a little
rock from the south entrance to
the road. But from the old view
point down to the Algoma school
the road is closed.
What's done is done. But we
cannot help sheddmg a tear for
the past. In a world where there
is so little beauty it seems a shame
to rob us of this only view of the
Upper Lake. Our chamber of com
merce bulletins loudlv decry the
beauty of the lake, but the new
highway follows the verv shore
line, there being no appreciable
elevation where you can get an
all-over view of the lake, the
islands, the Westside mountains,
Mt. Pitt and Shasta and the Saw

if you w ant to walk you could do
so and no one to stop vou. If

all that.
So you can lust write it off to

everything else of peace and quiet

start losing our scenic views. Per

Here are a few to avoid:
1. Speleologists, or cave ex

a. People who breed cats, dogs
or racehorses. (If they come up

I. Bric-A-Brac collectors.
4. Amateur Geneologlsts. (If
they find they have a fine family

Hobbyists of this kind are a
total loss. They want adulation and
respect from you, but they give
nothing in return for the time they
take. On the other hand, here are
a few types of hobbyists the wise
man will court:
1. People who grow roses.
2. People who grow tomatoes,

3. People who collect vintage

4. Camera bugs.
5. Motoring enthusiasts.

Can Count On 'Surprising' Worker Vote
NEW YORK Iff Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower goes into a round
of political conferences today with
a promise that he can count on a
"surprising" labor vote in his bid
for the presidency.
The Republican nominee al
so drew the support of Roger W.
Straus, co-chairman of the Nation
al Conference of Christians and
Jews.
Word that Eisenhower would get
substantial labor backing came
yesterday from Richard J. Gray,
of Albany, N. Y., president of the
Jacob Malik Replaced At UN
By Top Communist Strategist
UNITED NATIONS. N. ,Y. tfi--Soviet
Russia has named Deputy
Foreign Minister Valerian Z. Zorin,
who staged the Red coup in Czech
oslovakia, as her chief delegate
to the United Nations. Jacob A.
Malik, the present delegate, is go
ing home for "rest and reassign
ment." U. N. officials announced last
night that the Soviet government
told them of the forthcoming
change in a note addressed to the
international organization's Secre
tariat. Zorin is expected to arrive
by Sept. 15, just a month before
the General Assembly opens its
annual fall session.
Malik, who has been suffering
from a heart ailment for some
time, was originally scheduled to
return to Moscow on leave early
this summer. He has canceled his
passage twice, but the Soviet an
nouncement of his replacement
came as a surprise which observ
ers could not immediately evalu
ate. .
Already this summer the Soviets
have announced a widespread shuf
fle of diplomat assignments.
ABC's
WASHINGTON OfV-Gov. Steven
son, reminded by President Tru
man to watch his steps. Is trying
to waltz Gen. Elsenhower Into a
corner.
When photographers were turn
ing him around to get a good shot
of him during his visit here a few
weeks ago, Stevenson quipped: "I
haven't been so much trouble
since I was in dancing school."
At least his political dancing
seemed a little rusty for he stepped
smack on Truman's toes. And, like
a man with bunions, Truman
showed he didn't like it. This is
what had happened:
Over a week ago, in a letter
to an editor, Stevenson said he
would, if elected, clean up the
"mess" in Washington. Asked
about this at his news conference
last Thursday, Truman snapped he
knew of no mess.
Then, asked if he felt he was a
target, Truman said the Democrat
ic party nad to run on tne recora
of the Roosevelt - Truman admin
istrations that's all it could run
on.
Meanwhile, Elsenhower publicly
approved some of the social legis
lation placed on the books under
the Democratic administrations of
the past 20 years.
This gave Stevenson an oppor
tunity to needle Eisenhower with
a crack about being a "me tooer."
Still, one of the oddities of this
campaign is that the New Deal
and the "Fair Deal" at least un
der those names have hardly fig
ured In this campaign although
they were Issues in previous presi
dential races.
But late yesterday, at a Demo
cratic rally in New Jersey, Steven'
son showed that in a week's time
he had polished up on his political
dancing. He came out with lavish
praise of Democratic doings for
the past 20 years.
Speaking of his party, he said:

partment and a long-time Demo
crat. "For 30 years we've been with
the Democrats and they think
they've got us in their vest pocket,"
Gray told newsmen after confer
ring with the general.
He emphasised that he was
speaking for himself, not for his
union, but he said he knew that
eight or 10 other top union officials
would support Elsenhower. He did
not give their names.
Malik's replacement conies soon
after another series of potentially
Important events In the Soviet
world.
The Soviet Communist party has
called a full congress for the first
time since before World War II.
Red China's Premier and foreign
minister, Chou En-lal. is In Mos
cow for major talks. The Russians
are trading notes with the West
ern Powers on the future of Ger
many. Malik is generally considered an
expert on the Far East. He served
in Singapore and as Soviet ambas
sador to Japan during World War
II.
Diplomatic observers recalled
that the Soviet and Chinese Com
munists, in their current confer
ence in Moscow, have made no
secret of the fact that Japan is a
chief topic of their talks. Malik
may have a new role to play In
this field.
Moscow s new delegate, Zorln,
has spent most of his foreign dip
lomatic service in Eastern Europe.
He became a deputy foreign min
ister before he was sent to Czech
oslovakia in 1MB.
"There have been mistakes, there
have been failures, there have
been false starts. There may be
more, but the blazing record of
growth and change and progress
we have written In these two mem
orable decades can never be
drowned In oratory and epithet.
"The Republicans are split wide
open on foreign policy. On dom
estic policy only now are they
slowly and reluctantly accepting
the ideas successfully sponsored
by the Democratic party years
ago . , ,
"As to their platform, well, no
body can stand on a bushel of
eels. So where will he (Elsenhow
er) stand? Well, it looks more
and more as though he were go
ing to stand on our platform . . ."
Stevenson talked of the 20-year
Democratic administration but not
as a New Deal or a "fair" one.
Since he's pretty nimble with
words, he may have had a reason
or maybe he Just doesn't like
slogans.
Still, Stevenson tried to make
this speech do double duty. It
could serve to reassure Truman
Democrats about him. And It was
a wide open taunt to Eisenhower
to show whether he was a "me
tooer."

And he added that a "surpris

ionists would vote Republican.
The building trades chief said
"a lot of labor people feel the coun
try is coming to be ruled by a
minority the Southern Demo
crats." He said he told Elsenhower that
"we don't have a United Slates
Department of Labor any more.
It Is Just a statistical bureau."

Asked how he felt the Republi
can platform on labor compared
with that of the Democrats, Gray
replied:
"We don't pay any attention to
them. Political platforms are
something to get In on but not to
stand on."
Straus, chairman of the board of
the American Smelting and Refin
ing Co., said he was supporting
Elsenhower "because his election
will insure world peace and main
tain our basic American lree
domes." Straus said Elsenhower led the
free world to victory over the
Nazis, and then brought nations
together to resist communism.
"His election will be understood
by Stalin as the determination of
the American people to increase
their strength, material and spirit
ual, so as to secure peace and
freedom tor ourselves and those
who share our Ideals," Straus said.
Still other visitors to Elsenhower
said he told them he Intended to
make a full-scale apeech on civil
rights and the controversial Issue
of a fair employment practices
commissioner.
This announcement came from
Robert Dowling, president, and
Lester Granger, aecretary. of the
National Urban League. They said
the league, dedicated to equal op
portunities for employment, had
about 50,000 members In the United
States.
They told him. Granger said,
that he had been "quoted, or mis
quoted, or misunderstood" on the
issue.
In other developments yes
terday: Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, some
times pointed to as the behind-the-scenes
brain of the Elsen
hower political forces. Indicated
he would take a back seat In the
campaigning.
The 1044 and 1948 OOP presi
dential nominee told newsmen, af
ter conferring with the general,
that he would do all possible to
swing New York Into the Elsen
hower column but would make no
speeches outside the state.
Asiced wnetner ne tnougm Eisen
hower was going too far Into at
tempting to placate right-wing ele
ments of the Republican party,
Dewey said:
"The general Is doing a magni
ficent Job in unifying his supporters
and members of the party."
To a question of whether he
thought "die-hard" supporters of
Sen. Robert A. Toft of Ohio would
vote for Elsenhower, Dewey re
plied: "Every Republican and millions
of Democrats and Independents re
alize the Importance, for the well
being of the country and the peace
of the world, of getting the ser
vices of Gen. Elsenhower as pres
ident." Elsenhower registered yesterday
to vote in the presidential election
here and also applied lor an ao-
sentee ballot to use in case he Is
not In New York on election dny.

When Ihe IrulfluUiie passed the

htlli wiiiiii are more favorable to
the tiucklnu InduMrv, and whli-h
aren't being hiiiuulil out lor puliliu

allowable gross welulit from 72.000

duced plule Irei.
Hie plnle feelue tx proposal
which Is sponsored bv the Oregon
lliuhwnv Council lau nrgamtallon
coiitnused prlmwiilv of loiig.haul
truck romiHtiilesi would be a real
boon to the long-dlslance freiahl
ti ticker. In the opinion of Hep.
Oearv, but It would work a rel
hardship mi the i.mall trucker who
slieciali.es III nltorl-haul business,
A company delivery truck, under
ti'.nl system, would have to imiv
a big license plate fee to travel
a lew thousands of miles a vear
on short hauls, and gel hooked for
easohne taxes also, while a big
Irelght rlii would be paving a simi
lar plate fee nnd be rolling mi
nialtv thotlfnU(s ol miles a year on
the highways. Alxo, points nut
Oearv, since fuels like liutana and
dlesel predominate In big trucks
nnd Ihev can carrv enouirri to take
them all the wav across Oregon
without refueling Hi this state,
many could escape Oregon fuel
taxes altogether.
The weight. mile sy.lrni of truck
taxation pioneered bv Oreaon in be
ing clasrlv waliiied bv other states.
New York already has pn.ssed legis
lation cupled from the Oregon law,
uiid the trucking Industry Is cot't
testing the New Yurk law to the
V; .8. tjuiueine Court. The New York
courts have already ruled It a fair
anil equitable method of uxnllon.
Iiluhn ol'o hns copied a part of
the Oreiton lnw.
The long-hnul trucking Industry
doesn't want the Oregun system to
spread. Rep Oearv aavs, and lor
that reason the Industry Is mak
ing a bnttleground or Oregon lo
try to whin the taxation system.
