leaves for London to attend
the United Nations assembly,
which opens this week. 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

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

Vanporf City Negro
Admits Assault On
Man Found Slain
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 10
1P) The FBI reported yesterday
that a Vaniiort City Negro, ar
rested In Philadelphia, confessed
to assaulting Walter Howard
Poole, 3'Jyear-old Vancouver
man, slain on Christmas Day.
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.
