'before , Jumping to.. any conclusions, lot's 5 be SURE It's true ON A BIG .; SCALE. . Whenever the Gorman army ; begins tq crupible GENERALLY, 1 the Jig will be up. ft YN the homo front, there's a I big j'uekus on oyer t he recent ma,tement by,a,!'hlgh Washington personage" that axis propaganda based on American rail and steel disputes and near strikes has pro longed the war and cost many allied lives. (Meaning that naz) leaders have .used these disturbances on tin; American home front to In spire the German people with the hope that America is,. about to crack up and that Germany can win If she fights long enough.) A IS. to the statement Itself, it i may or may not be true. If we should hear of similar distur bances In JAPAN, we'd be buck ed, up ho end. News of acute labor troubles In Germany would , thrill us because we'd accept Ihent as ah Indication that Ger man home front morale-Is crack ing ; . . It, must be equally true that the Germans are encouraged (per haps even Jed to hold out LONG ER) by the garbled ami propa gandized reports of our labor dif ficulties that are feci to them by Ihclr leaders. It certalntly must be true that the nazl propagandists are using these reports of trouble on the American production front for all they are worth. . By Charles V. Stanton THE Roseburg city council and the Douglas county court, in our opinion, should not longer postpone settlement of the iSSUe COncerninc VuiVlYlent fVir thft iv)iuilt aiiannnaiAM fiwvik bridge tributary- to UrhiVqua park. We are hot attempting to criticize, either the : county .court or llie pity council. , We eld riot venture an opinion oh the merits of the minor co'ntro- yei'sy. We do believe, however, that these are times in which cooperiYi'beYweeh governing bodies is vitally essential. It l!V.0.in ffi ,rne :fuNest endeavor, of all .administrative agencies td wjoi-k out forthcoming problems that will multiply in proportion to Douglas cbuhiy's rapid growth, These are not times to permit sores to fester. , Our governing bodies should' have a spirit of, muiual confidence and trust with no cJ$9Yr on the part of .one to ''jgouge" the other a spirit of sincere effort to work in the greatest haraionv to nromote the welfare of the county as a whole. A little over a year ago the old footbridge was condemned by the county cour,t, . which was prepared to remove the structure because of its dangerous condition. Residents of Umpqua park, which is directly across the South Umnciua river, from the south city limits, objected strenuously. Peti tions were submitted. The county court finally agreed to rebuild the bridge, .conditional upon the "City of Roseburg as suming a share in the cost. . : . '"s...v '-.t' ; The county court claims the city council agreed to share C0-5Q in the cost.'1 :The council contends' that the citv's ratio of participation was nevoi definitely fixed." The council also claims that tlie bridge was too expensive;, that it should have b't-eh built t ii-itouch lower figure., The council admits it is a good bridge. ( The courtngreea that he .bridge could have bcei bliift at less exjiense but that Jt would not have been as good, a bridge as, the present structure which, barring acci- aenv, M'lii servo loij algreat many years, t There also is the issue of the preliminary estimate, which the council feels should have had ratification by tho city., ,:, To use round figures, the bridge cost ap'p'roximatey $3100. The city has been billed for one-half the expense or more than 1500.'-. . Regarding the detailed phases of the case we are not con cerned. Wo believe that if a committee of the council had met with, the. county . court when the bill was first presented. around six months ago, a 30-nu'nute discussion would have ! clarified the whole matter and everyone would have been satisfied and there .would have been mutual respect, confi dence and good will. Now, however, the matter has been normil.teH to rlrair along, flach discussion touches a new sore point. Distrust grows. ; Neither the council nor the countv court will he ns ready to cooperate on some future project, which may be far more important than a footbridge. 1 hat ih why we say there should be no further riostnoiio- nicnt. Representatives of the city and the county govern ments should get together -without further delay, talk out their differences and reach a prompt settlement. To allow the matter to continue means widening the breach of confi dence. . That is a dangerous situation for the future. The danger lies not in the issues themselves but rather in the possibility of further, exaggeration of their importance through continued ,procrastinatioh. A settlement can be reached quickly if the two bodies will only get together and talk it over. ; There always has been, and still is, too much disposition on the part of county courts to treat municipalities as if they were separate entities. The fact is that municipalities are still a part of tho county. The present county court has gone a long way in overcoming jealousies, but there arc still evi dences of a mental .separation of municipalities from the county. We should not think of "Roseburg and Douglas County," but instead it should bo,, "Roseburg in Douglas county." And because, Roseburg is hi. Douglas county, the city, should be just us seriously concerned with the welfare of the general county As with its own success. Until We start thinking of Douglas county as a whole rather, than as a collection of urban and rural communities, each w-ying 10 suiie me omer, we are going to seriously retard! the rate of future development. i V urge ror rterurn Of Prohibition is Faced By Congress WASHINGTON,, Jan. 5, (AP) pun-nig io qemanas oi more man. 100,000 individual petition er for immediate legislative ac tion, a,., house . Judiciary sub committee will begin DUbllc hear. ings next week , on national pro- Uikill iiiijiuuii ii-Kisjauon.' , The hearings will be on legisla- uoii iiurouucea last March , by Kep. Bryson. (D., S. ,C.) , .to, out law ut.-vi.-i ages containing more than one half of one per cent al cohol by volume, the prohibition to remain in effect until "the ter mination of demobilization" at the end of the war. , . i.Its professed purpose Is "to re duce absenteeism, conserve man power and speed production of materials necessary for winning oi me war. . . , a outer light ,1s. exoected to develop over the proposal, which has strong house backing. Oppon ents contend it would, po unfair to members of the armed forces to impose prohibition by statute at a time, when they can pot ex press their views in a referendum. "We did it in the last war and four millions soldiers lumped on congress for Its action." said ReD. Ramspeck of Georgia, democratic whip. .VThere will bo at Jcast eight million of them ready to complain, if it's.. done again. -I will never support such legisla tion." , . Petitions, pro and con, have been pouring jn since Bryson in troduced the bill. Many were fil ed with the house bill clerk dur ing the current recess. , William McDcrmott, chief 'bill clerk, estimated that more than X.000 , petitions have been Jlled, with an estimated 300,000 signers. "If I had to make an estimate," he told reporters, "I would say that there are as many, If hot more petitioners against the lee- islation as there are for It."

Liberty Ships Held Unfit for Use as Troop Transports SEATTLE, Jan. IW (AP) - Rep. Warren O. Magnuson (D., Wash.) said last night he. had received Information that one of the nine Liberty ships reported to have split or broken open In Alaskan waters- the John C. Alnsworth is now liclng converted to a troop transport at a Portland, Ore., yard. "It Is a mat tor of grave con sideration that, tho lives of hun dreds nf our soldiers should bo entrusted to a ship that already has shown serious defects at sea. I question whether any of the ships suhlect to these mishaps shbiild be used to transport troops." Magnuson said he would hrlnn the matter of the conversion to the attention of the senate Tru man Investigating committee. He said he would submit find ings nf Investigations here as a member of the house naval af fairs committee to Senator Mon C. Wallgren, tlx, Wash.) who Is exported Monday to handle the Truman committee investigation.
