One, which Includes the bulk of the cynics and the hard-boiled antt RoosevCltcrs who can see no pos sible ray of hope in anything the president does or ever may do, holds thut it was the first move of another drive to the left P-obaby a scheme o use (he big . government lending agencies hitherto gathered together in the department of congress as a spearhe-td q' reckless lending to take it away from those who have and give it to those who have not. This crowd's enthusiasm for the George bill (now signed bjf FDR),-which removed the big lending agencies from the do partmept of congress and so took them out of the Wallace orbit, is tempered by the sobering knowl edge that after all the president has the appointive power and so win pick (he man who will head these agencies In whatever set-up they may be placed. He may, of course, have another squabble with the en.ate yhen t comes to confirmation, but history leaves it fairly clear that in all such ruckuses thp holder of the ap pointive power usually comes out ahead. TIERE is another school, fairly numerous and Including a fair proppition of Impersonal ob servers, tnat tliltiRs run may have been Just finally and de finitely getting rid of Henry, whom he dropped overboard at the convention last summer. . The theory of these people is that the- president picked the secretaryship of the department of commerce as (ho one Job which WiiUnco couldn't possibly be con ilrmed, by the senate, expecting, when confirmation was refused, to be in a position to shrug his shoulders and say deprecatingly: "Wel, Hcpry, I've dpne my best to repay ypii ' for the self-sac- r(fiplng, sojr-torgcttine devotion you displayed l'lst summer when you gave me your all-out support after getting the gate at Chicago, fiut you see how It Is. Just can't get away with It. The wicked sen ate won't li!t me. "Bpf at least I've done the best J can to pay pfj my debt." THERE is a third sector ot po litical opinion which holds the thought that Wallace was being built up as the New Deal candi date for 1948, and that his final confirmation by the senate has more or less dtimicd the play. The contention has been that In order to be a sure-fire winner in 1918, Wallace will have to be dramatized as a martyr. Now that (hp .senate has gone ahead ami seated him in the commerce secretary's clutir, after taking away tho big marbles, It Is as serted that !ie will have a hard time playing himself up as the taidcr of a great cause that will be hopelessly lost unless ho Is vindicated at the polls three and a half years hence. BEHER HOUSING NEEDED IJERE and there one hears a (1 chirp to the effect that once again Roosevelt Is knocking down a head that threatens to rise ebovc the .general level in 'the JN'irw Deal party, thus offering a J By Charles V. Stanton When a woman has spent hour-after-hour and cjay-after- oay in a mutiessf search for suitable living quarters, it would be perfectly understandable if she became short tempered and resintfil. fixxt a few. days ago we met a wpman who, dispite conjnued disappointment, has found a certain measure of pleasure In house-hunting, even though she is still searching. "I have met sp mny wonderful people," she declared. "Everyone is so kind and hospitable. We have been here only a short time, but already J see people I have met, while hunting a hpuse: We speak. In just these few weeks it seems we no longer are strangers. I think I have been on every street in Rpseburg. Sometimes people stop me anil ask for directions and, I get -4 thrill opt of being able to give them information. This is such a beautiful city and tiie people are lovely. Everyone is so friendly. I know ve will love it here." ! Sq many people in this woman's position would be cross and out pf sorts, critical of the tpwn and its ppople, and resentful because continued efforts had failecj. It is refresh ing, indeed, to find a person who can see the brighter side and find a certain amount of pleasure even in such an onerous task as hunting a house in these days of shortages. But the plight of this woman and numerous others who are facing the same task today, as well as many who are soon, tp come, emphasizes the necessity for immediate action to relieve the critical situation. The Roseburg chamber of commerce has been working industrjqusly to aid persons desiring to build homes. A great deal has been accomplished. New residences are to be seen under construction in nearly every part of Rose burg and, environs. But it; is a slow, hard task. Negotia tions must be conducted through federal agencies with their maze of red tape: ' Retail material yards have low inven tories. Even when priorities are obtained, it often becomes ampst impossible to secure materials desired for the job. The federal government is urging sawmills to increase theijr rate of production," and the operators are doing every thing possible to turn out greater volume pf timber products. Put it is found extremely difficult to keep plants operating at full capacity, simply because inanpower is not available. The reason there is not sufficient manpower is because adequate housing is not available. In contacting federal agencies to secure relief from this situation, the city is confronted, with the fact that the emctv gency trailer camp located near the east city limits has never been filled to capacity. But anyone familiar with conditions in that camp can understand the reason. The trailers are constantly damp. Bedding mildews piost overnight. Interior fixtures rust out within a fqwl weeks. , The surroundings are unattractive and there are1 few conveniences. People will occupy trailers only for emergency housing, and when something better catyibt 10. dbtalneci they will move on. . ' . , ' A great industrial expansion is in prospect during the coming few months. Where the people necessary to this expansion are to be housed is a problem which is creating a good many headaches for civic and industrial leaders. ' A large public housing project tp serve the Roseburg area has been proposed to congress, but what is needed is a diversion of materials into private construction enabling workers to build their own homes and thus obtain a feeling of permanence and security, Which would be reflected in butter production and community pride.

BORM THIRTY YEARS TOO SOOK1 J-1 threat to the theory o( his own lndlspensabllty. , Hoover managed It, but the department of commerce Isn't very widely regarded as a step ping stpne to the presidency. Once installed there, the argu ment goes, Henry will be definite ly burled, THE tendency of objective, non partisan observers here Is to withhold an opinion until the president names nn administrator of the great lending agencies that were amputated from the do partment of commerce as the price of Wallace's confirmation. The kind pf man he picks for this Jpb will give a reaspnably de pendable inkling of what is In his mind fpr the course that he described after his fourth elec tion as "slightly left of center."

Singing of Kipnis Pleases Audience i - By 1 . K. P. One ef the world's most famed artists, Alexander Kipnis, bass baritone of the Metropolitan Opera association, brought to a close the 1911-15 season of tho Roseburg Community Concert as sociation by presenting his pro gram last evening hefnrc a large audience at the Junior High school auditorium, Kipnis' voice proved to lie one pf tho most powerful ever heard here and he also proved himself equally adept at singing the soft er tones in presenting some of the most difficult numbers on his program. He added greatly to the concert by explaining the mean ing of the songs, which he sang in foreign languages. He was very ably accompanied by Wolf gang Roee, who presented a pi ano solo oh the program and re sponded to an encore as a result of the audience's demanding ap plause. Mr. Kipnis' encore muni hers Included both English and foreign l.-ini:UM;Te selections. Tommy Debojt Gravely Wounded In Battle Action Tommy Dcbolt, son of Mr. and Mis.
