Chuck is a News-Review carrier boy, and a good one. He receives very few. "kicks" ,for missed papers and is very dependable. , He also is patriotic. His income from carrying papers is not large, but every week he has been, putting a maor part of Jiis money into war stamps. The Fifth War loan campaign has had hjm worried. He did not have enough stamps in his book to convert into a bond, but he wanted to help the drive along. , Being a business man in his own right, he applied busi ness methods to his problem and negotiated a loan from his father for the balance needed to complete the transaction, pledging a portion of his weekly income to retire the debt, and now Chuck's bond, and one bought by his sister, Janice, has been included in Douglas county's totals to date. , : Until the loan is repaid, Chuck won't have much money for shows and ice cream cones, but he says he'll get by' all right. He has boosted Fifth War loan sales and has the satisfaction of having accomplished something for him self and for his country. He is proud to be in partnership with the United States government. Chuck is only 10 years old, are older and have bigger incomes would only be as patri otic and willing to cooperate Douglas county would be much nearer the goal. Mel Ingram, new athletic school, is planning to conduct sometime this summer. Mel has taken over supervision of the summer recreation program, and is hard at work on a plan to be submitted for approval by the park commission. He contemplates .activities proper, cooperation, will be great service through supervised recreation, organized sports and social events.

We are particularly interested personally in his plan for a baseball school Softball is a fine p-nme. advantages of spftball simply because we personally prefer the good old American game of baseball. Softball can be played by active persons of almost any age. Little equip ment is needed. ..The game strenuous or it can be played in a more leisurely fashion. But the crack of a bat against a hard ball, the fielding, tnrowmg, base-running and strategy provide a sport that, in our opinion, is incomparable. the game by a boy possessing auons oiten leads to a professional career. Mel Ingram, who played Pittsburgh Pirates, has conducted baseball schools for the Cincinnati Reds. , IIo has helped to uncover talent now in the big leagues. Perhaps his Roseburg school will lead to the development of another great name in baseball. But even if no player ever gets out of the sandlot classification, he will have received training in a game which requires real skill and sportsmanship. We hope the school will be Rescued On Rubber Raft Of f Aleutian Islands WITH NORTH PACIFIC FORCE, United States Fleet, June 20 (AP) Seven young navy fliers, survivors of the first rub ber raft rescue in the Aleutian area, thanked their lucky stars totlay Hiid Herbert Rowe, of Clearfield, Utah, remarked: "We proved It could be done." He and his mates recalled that only two months ago another navy plane crew perished off "'in aiicr waving orf rescue planes which might, also have foundered in the rough sea.

It took about five minutes for him and the others to struggle into the tiny rubber boat. They managed only because the sea was calm. Then they started paddling to ward Agattu. They kept it up for about 35 minutes until sighted by a Catnllna rescue plane. About 10 minutes later a crash boat dispatched from Attu ar rived and took the fliers off the overloaded raft. Plan Offered to Break Deadlock on Price of Cotton WASHINGTON, June 20-(AP) Seeking to break a senate house conference commit tee deadlock on the Uankhead cotton amendment to the price control extension bill, the admin istration today put forward a new compromise plan for adjust, monl of textile price ceilings. lis tletails were not divulged officially, but Senator Maloney ID-Conn said he thought it would be accepted by Senator Bankhead (D-Ala) and oilier cot ton stales senators, Maloney made the comment after a con ference with Bankhead. As a result of the compromise move, the conferees postponed until 2 p. m. a final meeting to attempt to eracK (lie stalemate. The administration offer was reported to provide for a limited atljusiment of some textile ceil ings if raw cotton falls to go to parity, but to give administrative officials more leeway in making the adjustments. The original Bankhead plan called for tvlnc textile ceilings to a parity price for raw cotton and also would have guaranteed millers their manufacturing costs plus u "rea sonable profit," OUT OUR WAY fey J.

Congressman, Fourth Oregon District WASHINGTON, D. C, June 17 This week the house finished its more than seven days of dis cussion of the price control bill tOPA). A few amendments were put In on the floor of the house, but most of those were rejected. The bill is now in conference. The conference committee made up of both senators and repre sentatives .will doubtless make a report early next week, and the bill will probably be passed and go to the president. There, has been some rumor, to the effect that the president might veto the bill because of some of the pro visions. However, in view of the fact that no , great sweuping changes were made, it seems to me he should find it acceptable, i The debate ;pn the , blHvurpre sented . an outpouring felUthe grievances of our J.40.000.00Q pep pie against what has apparently been poor administration of ia fairly good law. The recitation of the troubles followed a gen eral pattern. Regulations forced manufacturers out of business with low price ceilings, bub per mitted new mnulacturing In the same line to begin business and sell their products" at much high er prices. This resulted in scar city of goods and ultimately in much higher prices to the, con sumer for many items. One typical example was the pancake flour situation which de veloped about a year ago. Many producers of non-branded pan cakelour packages were forced to quit business when denied a lc increase1 in price from 6c to 7c per package. Thereupon, some new firms went into the business of producing pancake flour of the same kind and in the same size package, but they were permitted to sell at ceiling prices as high as 18c per package. Numerous small retail stores were forced out ol business be cause the prices they were com pelled to pay for merchandise were higher than their retail celling price line, but new stores 1 I U.S. MINISTER HORIZONTAL Si Inflamed... l.

The new stores, of course, were permitted ceiling prices in line with their current merchandise cost prices. :In my own district, I have known several instances of tons of farm produce being left un harvested for the reason that OPA delayed too long in telling the processors what the celling price on the canned, bottled, or preserved product would be. Since the processors did not know what they could sell their pack for, they were afraid to buy the pro duce from the growers. These are but a few examples. Hundreds were recited on the floor. i "" Out o sheer desperation, many members of congress sought to remedy administration abuses by attempting to write administra tive detail into the law. The mem bers proposed the hundred or more amendments because there seemed to be no other way of getting relief for the people. The original price control law gave the people no appeal from OPA to the courts. It was recognized, however, by, a majority of the members of the house that it is impossible . to write administra tive detail into any statute.. The best that could be done, . there fore, In addition. to throwing cer tain other safeguards around the administration of the law was to provide a system of appeal through the courts from OPA rulings. It is true that some minor groups sought the passage of amendments that would give their interests special advantage. The house was well aware of these moves, and all such amend ments were killed. A few also sought to wreck the functioning of the law, but these attempts were also voted down by large majorities.

It happened that the OPA administration was more in the public eye and has received the most attention. However, similar administrative abuses of other laws are occuring. The Wagner labor relations act is a reasonable statute, but the ad ministration of it has caused strikes, , confusion .nd bad rela tions. There are numerous other minor examples. Since the courts as presently constituted gener-. ally .uphold the administration, we are dangerously near, under this administration, a change in the form of our republic from a three-branch government, name ly legislative, administrative and judicial, to a government of only two branches, namely administra tive and legislative. Since the con gress cannot write administrative detail into law, we are placed In a very difficult, not to say impos sible, situation. As I see it, the only way of reestablishing the republic under the constitution is to go back to the three-branch system of government. DIALipLOG By SUSAN. ' . HI, kids!
