Ask for It Now
NOW that the state highway engineers have revealed
a definite plan for South Sixth street improvement,
local people should spare no effort to induce the highway
commission to authorize early construction on this heavily
traveled and hazardous artery.
Engineer R. H. Baldock has stated he will present the
plan for a three-lane highway on South Sixth to the high
way commission May 22. That is the time to make an ap
pearance on behalf of immediate authorization from the
highway board.
There is ample arcniment to justify the request. South
Sixth has been a serious problem for years, and the volume
of traffic there is unequaled on any similar artery in the
itate. State highway authorities long ago recognized the
need for action there, and there can be little excuse for
further delay.
The state highway engineer while here explained that
South Sixth property holders will be expected to build the
sidewalks in the space to be provided on the state highway
right-of-way. Lack of sidewalks is one of the most haz
ardous factors on South Sixth street. Residential property
owners, downtown business property owners, and others
throughout this area have constructed sidewalks as devel
opment came their way. Certainly sidewalk construction
cannot be justifiably delayed on South Sixth and the pub
lic, which is putting up the money for the three-lane high
way, has a right to expect South Sixth property owners
to do their part with sidewalk construction.
The immediate objectives on South Sixth should be to
get the highway department busy on the highway con
struction and to get in those sidewalks. Traffic congestion
and accident hazards will then be greatly relieved and
the community can look with satisfaction on the solution
of its most notorious traffic problem.
Pelican Basebail
rERE is still a lot of potential interest in hardball out
in the bush league territory, and a strong local team
in a strong league should go far in developing it.
Klamath appears to have such a team in the Pelicans,
who are entered in the Oregon State league for the first
time this year. Klamath's teams have played in Northern
California and Southern Oregon leagues in past years,
but never before in the state league, which offers a com
petitive situation which should arouse home town spirit
We're looking forward to an interesting baseball sea
son hereabouts.

State Employment service as car

tinued to pour through Klamath
Falls from Southern California.
A call for beet and onion

Parachutist Snared in Practice
By PaUL1a1L0MJ
WASHINGTON, May 16 Hit
ler seems to be letting out
the clutch for one of his fa
miliar all-out propaganda rides
on the Roosevelt government.
The German short wave radio
broadcasts have suddenly mani
fest tactics suspiciously similar
to the type of campaigns they
used against European adver
saries. These show an intimate,
catalogued knowledge of Amer
ican political doings and are
obviously the result of a me
thodical nazi preparation as
shrewdly devised as their mili
tary campaigns.
Some of the broadcasts are
appealingly contrived in Ameri
can slang with the poison slyly
covered with good humor. Mr.
Roosevelt is called "FDR." and
American political figures fre
quently by their first names.
References are even made to
their wives and families. The
whole thing hits the line of anti
Semitism (naming Jewish offi
cials), encouraging rebellion
against the tax bill, promising
farmers European markets,
slugging "FDR" and family.
a a a
MOVIE FILMS
FBI has simultaneously picked
up information that nazi films
have been smuggled into this
country from South America.
One is designed to demonstrate
the invincibility of the nazi
army. It is called "Victory in
the West." Another is anti
Semitic. One copy of the mili
tary film was picked up some
where abroad by the army and
shown privately to our military
officers months ago.
a a a
KEEPING WATCH
The government is somewhat
disturbed by these and similar
manifestations (circulation of
pamphlets, scurrilous buttons,
etc.) but for the present is just
listening and reading. Even Hit
ler could not find an answer
to short wave foreign broad
casts short of decreeing murder
for his listeners. Of course there
is no intention here of meeting
the situation that way. The
federal communications com
mission is making records of all
the broadcasts. A special de
fense unit has been quietly cre
ated in the justice department
to note overall nazi propaganda.
The post office department is
burning all it can detect going
through the mails, mainly im
portations from abroad printed
in German and English. The
domestic stuff is circulated
mostly in hotel envelopes, or
without identification.
a e a
HESS AFFAIR
One thing to keep in mind in ;
reading these sizzling Hess de
velopments is that neither Lon
don nor Berlin can be expected j
to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. Tney j
are at war. Even the parachut-'
lng nazi politician himself oc- i
cupies with the British the
same relative position as Charlie
McCarthy occupies with Mr.
Bergen. He is in their lap.
Therefore, it may not be im
portant that all sides here and
in Europe deny a version which j
logically fitted the known facts. ;
It is that Hitler dispatched his j
trustworthy intimate with a se- j
nous peace proposal, under an
arrangement whereby Hitler j
was to denounce Hess as hal-:
lucinated if no satisfactory an- j
swer came within 48 hours, j
The peace plan could have been
roughly the same as carried in ;

"This little bundle from heaven is going home thank

this column under date of May
6 with the prediction that it
would shortly emanate from
nazi sources. That plan was
based on German domination of
Europe under a decentralized
system providing nominal self
government for the Balkans,
the Scandinavian countries as
a group, with the British isles.
Canada and Australia to remain
as is.
With this, Hess could have
carried the threat that Britain
would be immediately invaded
and conquered, and he himself
would thus be liberated, if the
answer was negative.
a a
OUT OF CHARACTER
The nazis naturally might
deny such a supposition as they
have denied from the beginning
of this war all the authentic
peace overtures they have ad
vanced. Hitler apparently con
siders a peace proposal a sign
of weakness.
The British might well hesi
tate to expose the trick for
fear of reaction among the paci
fists here and elsewhera who
prefer a German victory to
continuance of the war.
All official sources here deny
this theory and incline toward
the British versions, even
though these sometimes require
a disregard of Hess' long estab
lished character. If he were
going to split at all on any
subject with Hitler he would
have to parachute himself
wholly out of his life-character
as a devoted watchdog type,
wholly devoid of individual in
itiative, and as cruelly brave
personally as all the other nazi
leaders with blood on their
hands.
It is mighty hard to think
that type of man would flee his
beloved wife and child as well
as his equally beloved fuehrer
to save his own valueless skin.

WHEAT NERVOUS AS
SMALL GAIN MADE
CHICAGO. May 16 (D
Wheat prices were up a cent a
bushel at one stage today but the
market became nervous later
due to a let-up in milling de
mand, optimistic crop reports
and some uncertainty about the
farm program.
Quotations at one time were
fractionally below the previous
close but the market managed to
finish with small net gains.
Some brokers attributed the
president's remarks at his press
conference as Indicating he will
approve the 85 per cent of parity
crop loan bill, upon which the
recent sharp price rise has been
based at a large extent, but
there was no certainty about
this.
Wheat closed unchanged to 1c
higher compared with yesterday,
May S1.00-99ic, July 981-lc;
corn l-lc up.
