But If the republican party is to w in, the people must WE'RE PROUD OF CORDON ! . , , ; By Charles V. Stanfos WE are, indeed, happy over the nomih'atibn of Guy-Cordon. Appointment of Cordon to succeed the late Senator Charles L. McNary pave 'Southern Oregon double represen tation for the first time in Oregon's history, as he joined Representative Harris Ellsworth, first congressman to he elected from Oregon's new Fourth district, at Washington. Naturally we feel highly elated to have two Roseburg men in such important posts. We are inclined to boast of the fact. It gives us a new source of community pride. We have every reason to believe there will be no change in the arrangement at the general election in November. But, while we can rightfully take pride in the fact we have been able to furnish two exceptionally well qualified men for important posts in the national capital, we have no reason to expect, nor want, any special favors simply because of tandem representation for the first time. Rather, we believe, the situation is one which will prove beneficial to the state as a whole. Southwestern Oregon is and will continue for at least state's industrial "hot spot." Therefore, it is advantageous to all of Oregon to have in Washington two men thorough ly familiar , with every resource and potentiality of this area, in order that they may furnish protection, guidance, and assistance through legislative action. Although they make their respective homes in Southern Oregon,, neither Cordon nor Ellsworth is provincial-minded. In tiie brief time he has been in office, Cordon has suc ceeded in aiding very important projects for the northern arid, eastern sections of the state. Ellsworth, . although a representative from the south western counties, has been .v , ..(,,- uy wummeiiu vauey anu eastern uregon counues anu nas noyer failed to give all possible assistance. He has not been limited by district nor even by uoin nave snown spiencua energy ana entnusiasm ana a willingness to work for the 'good of the stale as a whole. The greatest Industrial strides in the state undoubtedly will tie in Southern Oregon, where lies the Pacific coast's largest body of merchantable timber. Despite the good start already made, development of the timber industry in Southern Oregon will hot reach full 'swing until after the war. While other war industries will be slowed down by reconversion problems, the timber industry will be able to speed the rate of production through increased man power. Thus Southern Oregon is in the enviable spot of being the one place in which the boom from war activities will not cease when hostilities I clced, .to have men in congress who are thoroughly familiar with the technical details of resources and procedure. Wo believe Cordon is in Noveipbcr election. The dignified campaign waged" in his contest with the State's former governor; Charles "A. I CZiM.niritn f.i'iinfnrl iin Wil !l 1 1 1 alimiitnu Tt i'o i n Inf.fiuf ill rr frt fl ' " w note that Cordon's largest majorities were accumulated in the counties where he is best known personally. His great est handicap was in the fact that he was not better known throughout the state. . His ability and popularity were un questioned in those localities knowing him best. As the rest of the state gets better acquainted with him, his popularity will grow, He has done nothing to alienate the republi cans who marked their ballots for Mr. Spraguc and should be able to count upon their support. No election Is "in the bag" Therefore, wo should continue energetic missionary work in Cordon's behalf until his retention in office is assured. We can do so with great pride, knowing that in supporting the candidacy of a Southern Oregon man we are not entirely scirish, but are promoting the .v i U .1 .. wn.-. State Press Comment ASPIRANTS APPRAISED (Eugene Reglster-Guurd.) In the republican primary, the people of Oregon have spoken rather plainly on what kind of representation they want In con gress. They have recalled Rufus jllolmun, given a big vote of pref- I ait'i.rw.n tr thn vmmir iinrl mil. L)ok,,n Mo,.se.

Against Smith, Morse will have the job of selling Morse, and It should be a cam paign whljch will stick to real issues. In the finals. It Is likely to be the short-term race which will provide the fireworks. It Is amaz ing that the democrats have noth ing better to offer than Mahoney, the self-styled "business man s .radical," the fellow who boasts that his pro-labor, pro-Townsend, pro anythlng speeches are just "to get votes.'" But the republicans will be very silly to underrate Mahoney or the pressures which the Nudoul will exert In his be half. , We are Inclined to Interpret the primary as an indication that the voters of Oregon know pretty well what they are doing on both sides of the party line. Smith rates Up with the republicans as senatorial timber .but Mahoney should be ruled out from tho start. He is I lie most dangerous type of poli tician tho glib exploiter, the tin scrupuous opportunist,, who beds with the Nudeal or any other cause only, for what he can get. The candidacy pr such a man Is an affront to his party and to the people of this state.

Washington Hews Argument, Sentiment, Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District . . , WASHINGTON, May 20 The much discussed veterans' bill, known generally as the "G. I. Bill," was unanimously passed by the house ot representatives Thursday. The bill had previous ly been passed by a very large majority in the senate. The house committee on World war veter ans legislation, however, com pletely rewrote the senate bill. As a matter of fact, thc bill pass ed by the house was an entirely new bill, embodying the same general principles of the senate bill. It is believed thc senate will accept the house version. Chapter I of the new bill deals with hospitalization and claims, and sets out certain administra tive provisions, Including a sec tion which recites the procedure for review of certain cases. Title II of the G. I. bill caused the most, controversy of thc floor ot the house. It Is the part of the bill dealing with education of vet nans. Thc bill as amended nnd passed by the house gives due recognition to state educational authorities. Briefly stated, the ed ucational provisions are as fol lows: The veteran will be paid $30 per month while going to school, if. without dependents, or $75 per month If he has depend ents. Tuition up to $500 per year will be paid direct to the insti tution in addition to tho monthly maintenance allowance to tho In dividual veteran. Paragraph 6 of the education section of- the bill carries . this statement: "No department, agency or officer of the United Slates, In carrying out thc provi sions of this part, shall exercise any supervision or control what soever over any state educational agency or stute apprenticeship agency or any educational or training institution; provided, that Indian schools operated or suervised by the United States shall not be ineligible to supply education or training under this title by reason of such federal operation or supervision." The re sult is that it rather clearly states that there shall be no federal in- Urference In education, Title 111 of the bill has to do wilh loans to veterans for thc purchase or construction of horn- es, farms and business property, As the bill was first written and Introduced on the floor of the house, the total amount of the loans was set at $1500. This fig ure was amended on the floor, and the amount now in the bill is $2TiW. Title IV of the hill has to do with employment of veterans and goes Into great detail on that sub ject. Since the house and senate ver sions of the hill are somewhat different, a conference commit tee of senate and house members will be named, and during the coming week will doubtless bring In a report of agreement as be tween the two houses. As soon as this report Is adopted by both houses, the bill Is passed and will go to the president for his signa ture. I shall be. very glad to send a copy of the bill to anyone who would like lo have one. although the final printed version of it may not be available for some two or three weeks. Next week the house will con sider minor bills on Monday, and on Tuesday we arc scheduled to Like up thc bill to amend thc tiunsportation act by repealing tiie railroad land grant rales. At the present lime, the government u given great reductions In . ': , SCptsl THIRTY EARS.TO.O From an Inside View freight charges on shipments over land grant railroads. Off hand, this would seem like an advantage to the people. Actual ly it does not work that way. P.ailroad rate structures are bas ed upon the earning ability of the railroads, so, if the railroads have to carry a considerable amount of tonnage free for the overnment, all other shippers have to make up the cost of op crating the railroads by higher rates. It is argued, and I believe reasonably so, that, far greater savings to tho public, would re sult from lower freight rates if tho government preferential land grant rates were eleminated. This problem will bo vigorously .debat ed in the house next week, and I plan to listen to the arguments on both sides very carefully. The congress is swinging into high gear now with the likeli hood of Saturday sessions from now until the end of June, hop ing to complete its work so that a summer recess may be taken just prior to the republican na tional convention. Some opposi tion against such a recess plan has been voiced but I question the sincerity of such opposition. Actually the summer recess last year was a very satisfactory ar rangement, and I believe was generally approved both by- the membership of congress and by the people. It was the first time in years that members of con gress had an opportunity to go into their districts and become acquainted with local problems. The congress up to that time had been In almost continuous session since 1939. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting 8ytem, 1490 Kilocyolcs.

Navy Wants More i7-Agers to take Course in Radio There has beenv fine response in this area to the navy's call for men ,to fake the qualifying .Eddy test in radio engineering and ma teriel, advises, Chief W." E. Bell of the Eugene navy ..recruiting station. Enlistments have been continuing high above the nation al average in this . particular branch of naval service and a real appreciation of the advan tages of this training has been evidenced. Young men of 17 are eligible to take, this examination at the local recruiting station, ., chamber ,pf commerce offices, on Friday or Saturday, May ,26 and 27, when Chief Bell will be In Roseburg on his regular . bi-monthly , visit. He points out that, the nine months course of training in radio is the civilian equivalent of about three years at a, leading technical school and that men who are ac cepted are enlisted as first class seaman, which is two pay grades above ordinary enlistment. A pet ty officer rating, 2nd class, awaits each man completing the course and promotion will be rapid. Men of induction age, when as signed to the navy pool following preinduction physical, are also eligible to take the Eddy test, the only proviso being that it be done within one day after receipt Tf notice to report for final induc tion. Complete information on this branch of naval service will be obtainable from Chief Bell, while he is here, and he urges the in quiry of anyone interested at that time. - By SUSAN Music You Remember is back on the air tonight at 6:30 after missing hearing Annaloris sing last week, we are very glad to say "welcome home" tonight.
