SuterrlpUOM Si Xdrw Commendable Cooperation KLAMATH'S law enforcement agencies the sheriff's office, city police and local division of the state police are cooperating closely and commendably in their in vestigation of the Buffalo lunch killing case. The case has many difficult angles, and all the re sources of these agencies will be needed to solve it They need, also, the cooperation of the public. Local law enforcement agencies have been building a good reputation for this county in suppressing and punish ing violent crime. Because of the seriousness and sensa tionalism of this case, it affects that reputation. Let those who may be inclined to commit crime of that nature know that it's not healthy to try it in Klamath county. Agreeably Surprised "NN their visit in Klamath Falls this week, several mem wbers of the Portland party with Queen Dorothy Gast and her court of the Oregon Winter Sports association ' spoke with both surprise and admiration at the sort of a city they found this to be as well as its relationship witn Crater Lake national parte. Like many Portlanders, these folks thought of Klam ath falls aa a lumber camp or some sort rather than a modern city. They didn't know just where it was lo cated. They didn't know its highway connections. They were. agreeably surprised, and this city should receive some favorable mouth-to-ear publicity from the visit of these young people. The job of educating Portlanders and others of the lower Willamette valley on the characteristics of the Klamath section has been long and tedious. There is still much to be done. The Willamette highway is cer tainly going to help, and here's hoping that more of the downstate people use this superior route when they travel south the next time. Local people have on occasion asked us what the press of Portland has to do with the lack of enlighten ment in the metropolis concerning some of the upstate areas. Certainly the Portland newspapers are generous with their use of news from this area, and we can make no complaint on that score. It is possible, however, that there is a, policy of eliminating some of the upstate news from the city editions of the Portland papers, which are the editions that Portlanders read. Constructive news is not usually sensational news, and it may get left out of the later editions while sensational, but none too favor able items, are retained. If Portland city readers had op portunity to read more of the favorable community news about this district, which the Portland papers print gen erously in their early editions, Portlanders might know more of the truth about us. It s an idea. At Stake WASHINGTON, March 20 From under the blanket of enthusiastic defense publicity. troublesome cries are coming In Increasing volume. More re organization obviously cannot be long delayed. The Bernard Bar- uch statement demanding atten tion to economic phases, price fixing on industrial products and food, and freezing of wages, was only a mild Indirect disclosure of difficulties encountered. The annoyed groups In the trenches around defense head quarters are talking now of the necessity of Immediate coordina tion of economic effects (Mr. Bench's first point). Some nickel plants, they say, are on the verge of going out of business because they have insufficient raw ma terial. The priorities board tells them, in a hypothetical case. three-fifths of their production must go to defense Industries, which means they must lose three-fifths of their old private business. With only two-fifths production left to supply this whole outside market, they must ration their finished product among old customers. They could charge any price they wanted to ask. Manufacturers of aluminum pots and pans are not far away from the same predicament, and motor manufacturers are only six months or so away if steel priorities come by July 1 as ex pected (Mr. Roosevelt's Cano Dunn report to the contrary notwithstanding.) Salem Incident HIGHLY embarrassed are the good people of Salem over the disgraceful performance of a group of Salem youths who nearly mobbed the Astoria basketball team last Saturday night after Astoria defeated Salem for the state hoop championship. There is the usual talk of investigation and possible breaking of athletic rela tionships, and the Salem newspapers have been doing a good job of deploring the occurrence. The Capital-Journal calls the actions of the Salem youths a "disgraceful exhibition of hoodlumism" and the Salem Statesman calls the mobsters "spoiled brats who couldn't take it." The incident was particularly embar rassing because Salem is the host city to the basketball tournament, and there has been some effort to have the event transferred to some other city a movement that will probably gain force as a result of the rowdyism of last weekend. The unfortunate Statesman not only found itself in the unpleasant job of berating young citizens of its own community, but in a news story it mentioned a national guardsman arrested in the affair and said he came from "Fort Stevens, Wash." Inasmuch as Fort Stevens is in Clatsop county near Astoria, the Statesman unwittingly added insult to injury ind Clatson ceoDle didn't imnn the error. The whole thing will probably blow over and it is hoped the lesson to Salem's younger generation is such that nothing of the kind ever happens again. We are interested because, had the tournament gone a little dif ferently, Klamath Falls might have been directly concerned. CONTROL BOARD CALLED FOR Some sort of economics con trol board la called for by these developing facts. Unless some governing agency takes hold of the effects of the vast expendi tures, the spiral of Increasing prices, then Increasing wages to take care of Increasing prices. and then more prices, more wages, will soon reach a threat ening altitude. The symptoms of increased food prices and union demands for higher wages have already appeared. Greatest sufferer will be the salaried employe and small busi nesses comprising the great bulk of the unorganized people of the country. The weak spot In Hitler's armor still is Italy. The British know it, but cannot get at it. Unclosed avenues of subterran-1 ean information from Rome de- J scribe Mussolini as a broken man, forced into retirement by failures. Criticism of his conduct ' of the war is expressed'openly on street corners, and goes unpun-j ished. Yet the chances of revolu tion or a separate peace with! Britain seem to be out of the cur rent question. Italy cannot break away from Berlin because her economic sustenance is now coming from uermany. Hitler Is still feeding in a million tons of coal a month and practically all gasoline and oil used in Italy now comes from Germany. If she cut away from the axis now, Italy would face economic starvation. ; umm auu ah II I I is (UPpn m i n;v.-'.'i!

A NEWS item tells us that the Central Labor council has appointed certain of its members to attend city council meetings every Monday night and thus keep in touch with city affairs. The Idea is a good one and others might well follow JL Unless there is some controversial matter scheduled lor consideration, the council chamber spectators' section is usually occupied by less than half a dozen citizens. More people should attend these sessions. They are the clearing house for municipal activities of all sorts, and opportunity is always given for members of the pub lic w cuke uiiu any ui me uiauasiuns in which they are interested. A good way to know more about city government and local problems ia to go at least occasionally to council meetings. Federal gasoline taxes (at the higher rate imposed for national defense purposes) will total $390,000,000 during 1941. It Is estimated that during 1041, American motor vehicle owners will pay a state gasoline tax bill of about (900,000,000.
