WYNNE The namins of two lieutenants by Police Chief Charlie Howard yesterday marked another big for ward step in the reorganization ol the Klamath Falls department. The council also granted How ard the designation of permanent appointment to chief rather than acting appointment. In a few short months, since the report of Inspector Richard Young was released in March, the Klamath Falls Police Depart ment has made a great number of changes. II h.is already implemented the majority of the changes recom mended by Inspector Y'oung in his 300-page hook of changes and recommendations. Tile department has gone on a 40-hour week, it has abolished foot patrols, and now has a patrol system that covers the city much more extensively than was done before the reorganization. It has more patrol cars, and all arc manned by a single olficer. Also, they have been painted so that' residents can recognize them immediately. A new radio transmitter has been installed at the police sta tion, and all cars are radio ' equipped. In the department, it self, a number of changes have been made, reporting systems have been overhauled and vastly improved. The uniform allowance has been abolished, and one unilorm has been established lor all the force The city has now purchased these uniforms and will supply the men. Archie Huff, new operations lieutenant, is, in effect, assistant chief. It will be his duly to have complete supervision of the patrol and detective operations This includes all operations of the department. II. N. iHud) Ad kins will be in charge of the serv ices department which includes the Identification oflice, the jail itself, records and reports division. These two, in turn, will be an swerable to Chief Howard. In addition lo these chanties, -the city police department will soon have "meter maids" who will have the duly of enforcing all parking regulations This will, in turn, free one or two patrolmen now assigned to meter patrol lor better use on the force proper. The jail itself has been cleaned up and much of the criticism of the jail has been corrected. Tho system, of trusties has also been changed somewhat, although more changes could be used in this division. There are several weak points which have not yet been corrected, for one reason or anolher. The report recommended that one of the two drtectues he also assigned to juvenile duty. He would be responsible lor the po lice department's handling of all juveniles, and would tie empow ered to investigate the juvenile eases before tinning them over to the juwnile olticer. This plan was abandoned when it was apparently determined that the jmctnle oflue did not lavor the idea, hut rattier preterm! ii office to hae direct and imme diate jurisdiction in all jmcmlcl cases.

The foreword adds that the study is "a part of a broad pro gram of research aimed at im proving market efficiency and ex panding markets for farm, products." We question the value in 1958 of information gleaned by means of a spot survey in Had the findings been released in July 19.17, we Would still doubt their vnhle as the opinions expressed by those surveyed would have been eight months old at that time. In July, I9.1N, they are practically an cient history so far as the clothing industry is concerned. It seems fo be just one more example of a governmental bureau spending the taxpayers' money to produce longwinded reports of neither current nor historical value to anybody. Private industry, through com mercial trade papers such as Fair child Publications, provide manu facturers, retailers and consumers an almost daily report on the pur chasers' preferences and the manu facturers' offerings including a wealth of detail impossible in a government bulletin, regardless of size and scope.

On the con trary, here was a program which the National Safety Council and a vast majority of the Oregon Legis lature thought would do much to make our highways a saler place lo live on rather than a sure place to die. The last legislative session held such strong views on the subject that lhe driver's license fees were increased to aid in the financing of the program throughout the state. Rather than depending upon the parents to instruct their teen-agers it jusf might possibly be that these young folks after completing the high school course could provide their parents with some good point ers in safe driving. Surely in this day when fhe num ber of automobiles is increasing at a substantial rate we can think of mightier things to do than dis continue a course which hurts none of us but can help many.
