VOL XXIX NO. 39 OF THE EVENING NEWS rnrn o) PI MM MM PI IV A mm m Editorials on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS yHE Los Angeles Herald prints a table showing increases of the Los Angeles county cities whose 1930 populations have so far been reported to the census bureau. These increases range all the way from 36 per cent for Glendora to 24S6 per cent for Beverly Hills. Thus we have official proof of the rapid growth of Southern Cali fornia, of which we have been hearing so much unofficially In the past decade. yHIS writer, speaking as one In- dividual, is PLEASED by Southern California's great growth. We of Oregon sell a great deal of our surplus production to Califor nia. The more people there are in California, the MORE PRODUCTS we can sell to California. 'AND don't forget the tourist. The tourist is apt to come first to SEE and return later on to LIVE. That is the way California has got n lot of her present population. The greater Southern California's population, the better are our pros pects to get Callfornlans up here as tourists and thus show them what a fine state Oregon really Is. pH 1 8 writer, again speaking as one Individual, Isn't ashamed to show Oregon to ANY CALIFORNIAN. Oregon, In natural beauty, In natural resources and in prospects for future development, Isn't ex celled by ANY STATE IN THE UNION. HO MUCH for the bright side of California and her great growth In population In the past decade. Let us now take a look at the side Rhlch is not quite so bright., George I. Dean, who has Just re turned to Oregon after spending the winter In California, said yes terday to this writer: "In twenty years more there won't be a white man left outside the cities In all of California south of Sacramento. Aliens are rapidly driving the white men off the farms down there." WE WANT development here in Oregon. We want growth. We want more population on our farms, and MORE AND BETTER farm production. But this writer thinks we DON'T WANT the kind of development that will drive the native Ameri can farmer off the soil and into the cities because he can't compete with aliens who have a lower slnndard of living. What do YOU think about It? WHEN you think of dairy prod ucts, what comes first to your mind? Milk, butter and che.se, probably. Don't forget ICE CREAM. Last year SIX BILLION POUNDS of milk went into the manufacture of Ire cream. About a third of a mil lion cows were required to produce the milk which we consumed in the form of ice cream. The amount of whole milk used in the manufacture of ice cream in this country Just about equals the amount of whole milk used In the manufacture of cheese, and Is con siderably greater than the quantity used in the manufacture of con densed milk. fCE cream is an American inven- tlon, which came along about the time of the Revolution. The first newspaper advertisement offering ice cream for sale appeared in the New York Gazette of May 9, 1777, almost exactly 153 years ago. According to one story. Dolly Madison, the attractive and popu lar wife of President James Madi son, was the first to serve Ice cream at an important social (Continued on page 4) McNary Reassures on Vets9 Home EXPLANATION OF ALTERING BILL IS MADE Substitution of Northwest for Roseburg as Site Merely in Keeping With Custom. This City Will Be Chosen for Institution, Says Opinion Expressed in Telegram, . While the national soldiers' home bill In which Roseburg is vi tally interested has been amend ed to provide for an institution in the Pacific northwest instead of definitely designating Roseburg as the site, there is no need for ap prehension on the part of Rose burg. according to a message re ceived today from Senator Charles L. McNary. who is giving every possible Influence to the passage of the measure. "The house committee on mili tary affairs voted favorably to day to report the sollders home bill with an amendment that the home be located In one of the states of the Pacific northwest," Senator McNary states in a telegram re ceived by the Roseburg chamber of commerce late last night. "I have Just discussed the commit tee's action . with the t chairman." Mr. McNary continues in his mes sage, "and he stated that the prac tice of the committee Is .to select the locality hut not the site, lenv ine the definite location to the board of managers of the national home for disabled and voluntter soldiers at Dayton. Ohio. ' "I have presented to the board of managers Roseburg' unusual ad vantages as n site for a soldlerV home. Dr. E. B. Stewart, while in Washington, presented Rnpe burg's unequalled claims for this honie in a very effective way. "We shall continue our pctivl ties. which in mv oninion will re sult in the location of the home In your delightful citv." McNarv's Aid Valuable Senator McNary concludes IiIb lengthv telegram with the request that his best wlahen he extended to General Georee White and nil others present nt the dinner to be he'd In Roseburg tonight. It Is certain, ocenrding to Dr. E. B. Stewart, that Senator McNary will do everything possible to land the home for Roseburg. He has excentlonel influence In congress, and his support Is erlremely valu able to the city of Roseburg. The matter now rests largely in his hands, and from the great inter est he hps shown it Is apparent thnt the bill will receive every pos sible consideration from him.

(Associated Prota Leaned Wire) WASHINGTON, May 21. The senate yesterday confirmed Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia as an associate justice of the United State supreme court. Confirmation was without a rec ord vote. Roberts takes the place on the supreme court bench left vacant by the death of Justice Edward T. Sanford of Tennessee. President Hoover previously nominated Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina,-a member of the federal cir cuit court of appeals, but the sen ate rejected this nomination after a two weeks' controversy, 41 to 39. Known now as a lawyer of great ability, Roberts wanted to be a teacher when he was In "prep" school. He did not think lawyers In pursuing their profession could be honest, but after arguments by his father and advice from the headmaster of the academy, chose the profession which has led him so high. He is only 65 and one of the youngest men ever named for the place, the sixth Pennsylvanlan since the court was erected 150 years aeo. Not only has he practiced law. but he has taught it In the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. He was a leader of the bar before President Coolldge shot the spotlight of fame on him by naming him to prosecute the celebrated oil cases. In addition to his home in Phil adelphia, Roberts owns a 700-acre estnte 30 miles distant. He is very fond of the woods and roughing it In camp. He is an expert with a canoe, too, thavlng spent summers ZEi GAPE VERDE ISLES (AwoctAted Pr..s Leased Wire) PORTO RICO, Cape Verde Is lands. May 21.
