Salvaging The Derelicts KLAMATH FALLS is well acquainted with the problem of the transient, which is at last winning the atten tion of state and national relief and recovery authorities. Thousands of the wanderers pass through here yearly, beating their way on the two main line railroads or hitch-hiking along the highways. This community, aided by relief authorities, has Struggled with the problem in a superficial, transitory fashion. The wanderers have been fed ; place has been set aside for their use as a camp; and as quickly as pos sible they have been pushed along. It is about all that could be asked of one community. It is about all that has been done by any community, and the result is that nothing has been done to affect the larger aspects of the situation. The railroads have been heavily burdened with this problem. It is estimated that one-half million trespassers have been beating their way on the railroads in an aim less wandering. Long ago, the railroads gave up trying to do anything but carry these men as far as they wisn to go. Now, the problem Is to be tackled in another and more constructive way. President Roosevelt, recogniz ing the social dangers involved, has encouraged a fed eral and state program to eliminate the transient evil. C. W. Reynolds, until recently field man for the state relief committee, has been appointed director of trans lent relief. To lay the groundwork for the new program, a sur ev was made in Klamath county last week. From this study, statistics are being prepared to show the number of transients in tne "jungles camps, ineir sex, meir age, and the direction in which they are going. Under the new plan, it is proposed to make con tacts with these wanderers, and to attempt, particularly among the younger men, to induce them to return to their homes. The local survey has indicated that a large percentage of the transients are under 30 years of age. There are many boys in their 'teens who should be with their families. It is proposed, also, to undertake the establishment, rider federal government of large concentration camps, Where the transients will be opportunity for work. . This effort to salvage human derelicts is well worth while. No one questions the unwholesome effects of the situation as it exists today. But as long as the problem was left to individual communities, nothing was being accompiianca wwuru iui cuuairutuvo buiuliuu. it u nec essarily a responsibility of the state and the federal authorities. Klamath ALIGHT, furtive shower fell Thursday night, break ing at last the long reign of sunshine over the Klamath country. But there will be a generous supply of sunshine yet this fall, and even on through the winter months. We don't sav a great deal about our sunshine. They 'do that in California, where they place values of mil lions of dollars upon the friendliness of Old Sol. And at that, he has a mischievous trick of hiding his face be hind heavy rain clouds when the Southland Is jammed with easterners attending some convention. Just to satisfy our curiosity, we looked up the statis tics on Klamath sunshine. bureau keens them. And Last year, there were Falls. There were 101 cloudy days, and 41 partly cloudy days.

WASHINGTON Newt Behind the) Newt Tlx Inside Story Pros The Capital see By PAUL MALLON Copyright, 198S, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, Oct II These current stock market hearings have not been very sensational because the Wall Streoters have found out the aecret of how to act before senate committee. The Mltchella and the Mor gana Ckuie down here laat aprlng and tried to talk their way through alone. It did not work very well. The new troop of witnesses 1 working an Inside system which very effectively ease the spanking they are getting. Th private banker, Clarence Dillon, worked it ao well that the commltte patted him on the bark when he left and told him what good fellow h was. e FLOWERS The secret ot Dtllon's success was bis disarming approval of what the committee was doing. Prosecutor Pecora could pick no tighta with him. Mr. Dillon believed that all corporations should be mad to publish truthful statistics con cerning their financial condition Instead of the crudely evasive statements they publish now. That happens to be one of the outstanding things the committee is working for. Other things found him similarly sympathetic. Some of his Wall Street friends may pass him by la New York for his heresy, but outside or that the recommendation will cost him nothing. It brought smiles or words ot approval from all the committee members save one. That one was Senator Cousens who growl ed about "flowers being distri buted around here." and left. MVRDER The technique ot Albert H. Wiggln was even more coopera tive. Aa one wag remarked to Pe cora. his questions were gener ally something Ilk this: Now, Mr. Wlggin. before you committed this murder, it you did commit murder, you probably disemboweled the victim, eh?" And Mr. Wiggln would gener ally nod his head and anawer meekly: Yes, I probably (.id." 'That'a fine," Mr. Pecora would say, starting th question all over again. 1 It left no room tor quarreling or lighting, but only for a little by-play about whether you could really call it murder or man slaughter. n m m Just where th Wall Streeters found out about thla way ot do ing It la hard to say. Mathew Brush waa the only witness to act that way laat spring and he escaped unscathed. It is prob able that his experience furnish ed the background tor the new deal In Wall Street witnesses. But what Is probably more important ia the fact that the new witnesses had th shrewdness to employ skilled publicity men to advise them. In that they were following a tendency of the new deal Itself, where no department la without good publicity advice. ARRANGEMENT Pala of Ferdinand Pecora say he will get Mr. Roosevelt's ap pointment as federal district at torney in New York If he loses out In the city election tight. A little understanding to that effect is supposed to have been made on the Inside before Pecora got Into the McKee fight. At least, some of the Pecora people look on It as an under standing. Perhaps you could not call it a deal, but just a little half vague promise. That la th way those thing are usually worked. It means Pecora has nothing to worry about no matter how the election goes. e That Is Important bcause Why Don't They Start Wars the Way LETS TALK THIS OVER A. FEW MORE. VEALS' AMD SEE.

Th mayor la elect ed by the entire vote of th city. but the Manhattan district at torneyship Is decided on the re sult In that borough alona. And that borough Is where th Tam many strength Ilea. It Is quite possible therefor that McKe will win and Pecora los. Nevertheless the two are keep ing In close contact on the pro cress ot the campaign. The other day Pecora adjourned the stock market investigation m the middle ot the examination ot Albert II. Wiggln. He had a telephone call from McKe In New York. DRAMA T Some people have doubted the authenticity of a recent yarn about Mr. Roosevelt's publicity advisers manufacturing t h drama in his American Legion convention appearance at Chi cago. Mr. Roosevelt's decision to go to Chicago waa made fully a month before th convention opened. He made a promts to National Commander Johnson at that early date, and did not make up his mind to go on the spur ot the moment as advertised. What happened on the Inside was this: Johnson was taking little vacation in the Canadian wilds fully live weeks befor th on ventlon. H heard that Mr. Roosevelt might not go and thereupon hit the trail for Wash ington. He found the president ill In bed, but managed to get an audience in the sick-room. Th president told him flatly that he would go no matter what happened. It was agreed the decision should not b an nounced. From that time until the day th president left Hyde Park for Chicago, the White House continuously denied that th pres ident would make the trip. Some ot his associates were afraid that ha might encounter diffi culties because of his economy stand, but their advice was never seriously considered. The dock recently completed at Southhampton.
