Franco Shakes Up Cabinet in Gesture Toward Monarchy MADRID, July 23 (AP) Gen eral Franco administered the oath of office to his new cabinet Sat urday and the fnUingist news paper Arriba declared that the new government wmua continue the ''falannist ideal." The newspaper's editorial said the long-expected cabinet shake up, which placed in office five men considered monarchist sym pathizers, was a "new step" in the life ol tne f ranco party, the only one in Spain. Franco snld In a speech last week that Spain was entering a preparatory x"iiod for the re turn of monarchy. The five men named, however, lack the support of exiled Prince Don Juan or any monarchist groups.

Stanton , Protests of the City of Reedsport against inadequate power service have aroused considerable attention through out the state of Oregon. The Oregon Voter, which con sistently has opposed public encroachment in the field, of private industry, claims that Reedsport's threat to with draw from the Public Utilities district reveals the weak ness of permitting PUD's to extend service outside their organized territory, while the Coos Bay Times angrily chal lenges the position of the Oregon Voter, all of which, on the theory that "the squeaky wheel port's favor. Reedsport receives its electric County Public Utility district- of a "haywire" outfit, badly in heavier transmission lines and The south end of the district, from Coos Bay to Florence, is energized from the Mountain States Power company plant at Coos Bay under an exclusive contract with the PUD. The northern end of the system, Newport to Flor ence, is energized with power generated at the C. D. John son Lumber company mill in Toledo. The rapidly growing Reedsport community is aroused by an announcement recently system is overloaded and that be provided. ..Reedsport's expanding industrial and busi ness life demands an ever-increasing volume of electric energy.. Progress will be materially affected if some source of supply is not forthcoming Consequently, a committee has been named by Reeds port's mayor, John Skaaluren, to study the possibility of installing a municipal system, with power to be generated at "one of the Reedsport or Gardiner mills. The big "beef" from Reedsport against the PUD centers al'ound the fact that the Mountain States Power company is able to furnish the power Reedsport needs, but the trans mission line between Coos Bay and Reedsport must be rebuilt to carry the increased load. The utility district lacks funds with which to provide improved transmission facilities. To obtain funds it would be necessary for thl district to vote more bonds, thus' making it impossible to receive relief for a long period of time perhaps a year or more. The City of Reedsport is not a part of the public utility district and, therefore, is in a position to buy power where it pleases. But the pinch comes in the fact that the distri bution system within the city belongs to the PUD, which will force Reedsport either to buy the distribution facilities or install a complete new system if it decides upon a muni cipal plant. An alternative now under consideration by Reedsport's special coirimittee is that the municipality give financial aid "to the PUD in improving transmission facilities be tween Coos Bay and the lower Umpqiia district, utilizing electrical equipment to be made available through the Surplus Property division of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. While Reedsport is taking the bull by the horns, other communities are watching with interest, for the condition is one which prevails quite generally throughout Oregon, particularly in Douglas county. Rapid development of the lumber industry in Douglas county has placed a groat strain upon power companies. The California Oregon Power company has spent install a new substation to supply the Sutherlin area, cut ting that district off from the Roseburg station and con necting directly with the high voltage transmission line, The Roseburg station was greatly enlarged and new facil ities were provided at Myrtle Creek. In spite of these ex penditures and enlarged capacity, Copco has not been able to keep pace with demand. lhe Douglas JMectnc Cooperative has been forced to refuse extension of its service to new applicants. The cooperative has been planning since its inception to secure energy from Bonneville through a transmission system between Eugene and Drain. Work on this transmission line was scheduled prior to the war, but hostilities inter vened and took equipment which had been collected for the job. A contract, however, was let recently and work is now under way, but numerous delays have been encountered and inability to secure equipment needed for a substation at Drain probably will delay energizing the system to capacity for many months. The cooperative now is buying power from Copco. The fact that Copco wus able to give a substantial, though incomplete, measure of relief promptly, while the public utility district must fuss around with elections and bond issues before it can do anything for Reedsport, marks one round for private industry, from an efficiency standpoint, in the Public versus Private power fight. tho higher-ups.

Beavers' Lead in Coast League Race lipped to 7 Games (By the Associated Press) The fire-cracker hot Beavers and the hot-and-cold Rainlers square off at Seattle tomorrow nlgnt to lead on a scries oi nclghborhool squabbles this week in the Pacific Coast Baseball leagues. Forging into a seven-game lead over Seattle, the Beavers swept both ends of a Sunday double bill with the weak Hollywood Stars, 8 0 and 5-3, for a resound ing 6-0 series shutout. The Rainiers, meanwhile, loos ened their hold on second place by dropping a series to San Fran cisco, 4-3. Seattle, behind the three-hit hurling of Dcmoran, shut out the Seals, 5-0, In the op ener, tut dropped the finale, 5-9. While third-place Sacramento was twice bowing to Los Angeles, 10 -l and 8-7, Oakland and San Diego were sharing honors by 5- 4 scores in two overtimes. The second game went to the Acorns, who clinched the series. Although the Hollywood Stars nearly turned the tide In the nightcap, the Beavers had little trouble extending their winning streak. Liska hung up his third shut-out, fifth straight and 15th victory oi tne year in the matt nee. Tising's pitching in the second tilt was almost airtight until the seventh frame, when three singles, a hit batter and an error let in three runs. As Seattle's De Moran was holding the Seals to three scratch hits, the Rainiers were combing 21-game-inner Bob Joyce for 14. In the closeout, however, the Seals caught four pitchers for payoff blows and the game. Davidson Downs Lipscomb; Achiu Wins Over Kiser In a dog-eat-dog tvoe of wrest. ling (?) bout that fulfilled ad vance notice of "nothing barred" but outright homicide, Buck Davidson defeated Jack LIds- comb in the main event of the weekly card at the Roseburg ar mory Saturday night, it was a three-fall affair, the winner tak ing the first and third with a Boston crab hold in the respec tive periods of 10:07 and 7:43. Lipscomb annexed the second full In 6:42 with a bodv Dress after exhausting Buck with about everything prohibited in the book oi rules. It took the combined efforts of Referee Elton Owen and David son in the second stanza to sp- rcao-eagic upscomo on the mat long enough for Buck to rif rrom Lipscomb's hand an unnecessary bandage which had enabled the Hoosier mcanle to punish Buck severely about the eyes. In the final minute of the third and deciding round, Buck more than evened the score of villainy by twice trapping Lipscomb by the throat between crossed strands of the ropes, forcing the referee to exert all of his strength to save the Hoosier from helpless strangulation. Achlu Defeats Kiser Jack Kiser, Pacific coast light heavyweight champion, went down to defeat at the hands and legs of "Sneeze" Achiu In the semi-final but retained his title because the Oriental was ten pounds over the class limit. Iliis was also a three-fall combat, a little unorthodox at times, but still wilhin the classification of "clean and scientific." Kiser took the first fall In 22:16 with his major weapon, the skin-the-cat. and was apparently on the verge of victory with the same hold in the third round, missing it be cause he failed to grip one of Achiu's wrists. Alter an ensuing duel of drop kicks and shoulder butts, Achiu slammed Kiser to the nut with a crotch and shvuld tr hold and pinned him tor ttie THE WORR.Y WART verdict, in 9:12. The Oriental gained the second fall in 14:10 by catching Kiser in a body scis sors with his columnar legs.
