In Lon don he will tackle world prob lems that were left unsolved at Moscow. These problems will In clude Iran and the DAR DANELLES. Both arc oxpected to be TOUGH. In Iran, Russia Is ob viously reaching for more terri tory in her program of setting up "friendly" governments around her borders. It has been known from the beginning that she is going to have a lot to say about final disposal of the Dardanelles strait, which is the outlet from the Kusslan-bordereu Black Sea to the waters of the Mediter ranean. So far, this liing-exiH'cted issue has not come out into the open. It will have to be settled sooner or later. It lcxks as if the fire works may begin In London. y Charles V. Stentoe Decision of Roseburg; merchants to adopt a uniform Saturday night closing- hour--6 o'clock undoubtedly will aroune criticism from habitual Saturday night shoppers. The action may cause a few isolated cases of hardship, but, for the most part, will require only minor readjustment of shopping habits, merchants believe. It is another sign that Roseburg is "growing up" and is following trends common in the majority of towns of its size up and down the coast. The custom of keeping retail stores open Saturday evenings is a hangover from the horse-and-buggy days the period when a day's work was 10 to 12 hours, six days per week; days when farmers came to town only at widely separated intervals, and stayed overnight because travel was too slow to return home the same day. It is a common belief that stores remain open Saturday evenings to accommodate farm trade, but a careful check shows that less than one out of ten customers after 6 P. M Saturday are farmers, according to a report from the Retail Trade Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. A farmer usually must be at home in the late afternoon to do the daily chores. He may come to town to attend a show or other entertainment, and, in that case, occasionally will do a little shopping. But Saturday is no longer the big farm shopping day in Roseburg. Many things have developed in recent years to change the farmer's shopping habits. The automobile makes it possible for him to travel to town as often as he pleases. He no longer is tied to his farm because of impass able winter roads and slow transportation. Closure of banks, courthouse offices, post office, and financial institu tions at noon Saturday has caused a large part of the farm population to shift shopping hours to days other than Saturday. While mills were operating on an overtime basis, Saturday night hours were an accommodation to families of mill workers. But with restoration of the 40-hour week, shopping time is possible on other days of the week or before the 6 o'clock closing hour, merchants contend. Business houses also have a problem. Female help cannot be worked more than 44 hours per week. Wages have, been materially advanced and it is not profitable for a merchant to keep a staff of employes in a store after 6 o'clock unless there is sufficient trade to justify longer hours. If the same volume of business can be efficiently handled in fewer hours, without seriously discommoding the shopper, the merchant's overhead costs are materially reduced, his business can be more efficiently conducted, and his profits increased. Employes have been clamoring for the change. During spring and summer months, particularly, they, like other people, desire to depart for weekend recreation in the tnountajns or along the seashore, ,or participate in sports or ' entertainment; but a clerk who has been serving customers until 8 or 8:30 o'clock, nursing aching bunions and a tired back, isn't in very good humor for a show, a dance, a party or a trip. On the other hand, merchants are in business to serve their customers. They want their hours of operation to conform to the needs of patrons. But their studies have led them to believe little actual hardship will result from a 6 o'clock Saturday night closing; that shopping demands can be even more adequately served by maintaining full sales staffs at all other times, rather than staggering work to provide service Saturday evenings. Habits, however, are hard to change, and doubtless the new arrangement will not meet unanimous approval. THE Turks are looking for trouble. "Well informed" diplomats said In Istanbul the other day that the Turkish foreign minister has been instrurted to reject any de mands on Turkish territory and to tell British and American rep resentatives that his nation would rather FALL IN WAR than to take a diplomatic defeat. Britain is an ally of Turkey, and we and the British have more or less strung along together In European diplomacy. The Turks are putting it up to the two of us to look out for their interests AGAINST RUSSIAN DEMANDS. YOU may think you are not much Interested in all those lurelgn affairs. If so, you aie mis taken. In the new world that began for us at Pearl Harbor, foreign relations will be as Important tu AI L Americans as the delllT; lions of the city counell.

The Negro, known here as Aaron T. Robinson, 27, has been Indicted on a first degree mur der charge. Poole, former Kelso resident, was found fatally shot at Vanport. Howard I. Bobbltt, FBI chief here, said the Negro told the following story to FBI agents in Philadelphia: He fired two shots at Jerry Taylor, another Vanport City Negro, Christmas Eve, then fled to his own apartment. Shortly after midnight he started toward the highway, and forced his way at gunpoint into Poole's car. . He ordered Poole to drive to a deserted part off Vanport, then struck him over the head with a pistol. Upon the third blow, the gun accidentally discharged. Robinson climbed into the car and drove to Philadelphia, where he visited his mother, then sur rendered to military police the next day. Sheriff Pratt said extradition proceedings have been started to return Robinson to Portland. He was being held at Philadelphia as an Army deserter. Robinson, whose true name was reported by the FBI to be Wardell H. Henderson, also faces an assault charge arising from the attack on Taylor. The latter is recovering from wounds. New York City are subject to In definite delajf," Coles said. "Tele graph traffic to and from all other points In the United States is moving at normal speed. "Cable and radio traffic to Eu ropean and South American points, normally handled through tha New York gateway, has been Interrupted as a result of the New York, strike. Trans-Pacific messages except to Australia, New Zealand and British Paoifio Islands, is also interrupted on ac count of the strike situation." ill, Comedy to Mark Basketball Tilt Here Tonight Spectators who see the basket ball game tonight between the traveling House of David and Roseburg Recreation teams will witness scientific basketball mixed with a good deal of com edy and horseplay. Each of the visiting players is adept at show manship and, unless too closely pressed, the bewhiskered ball handles usually indulge in a little comedy along with their sports artistry. Bon Karstens, center, is noted for his ability in Juggling a basketball, and . probably will provide a few demonstration during the course of the game: 1 he Roseburg squad which will face the visitors is composed of former high .school and college lfars who Jiave boon , working out regularly as a .part of the Roseburg Recreation program. They should be able to afford sufficient competition to make the game interesting. Boy Slip: While Tossing Rocks Into River, Drowns VANCOUVER. Wash..
