"Top administration sources" are saying (before the meeting) that Truman has decided to tell Wal lace he must quit talking about American foreign policy or get out of the cabinet. ' ' ' THAT certainly seems the thing to do. Wallace IS probably sincere In thinking we ought to try harder lo find some way to get along Mth Russia. A lot of people think lhat. There could be no greater world tragedy than a head-on. ir reconcilable conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States of America. But as long as Wallace, holding his present views and AIRING THEM PUBLICLY, remains in the President's cabinet, he con veys inevitably to the rest of the world a picture of a divided and Impotent America that doesn't know where It is going or what It wants. , V, That can bring nothing but (Continued on Page Two) Whiskey Turns Potatoes Into Big Federal Profit WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. UP) The government figures to make a profit of more than $200, 000,000 on $42,000,000 spent so far this year supporting producer prices of the record crop of pota- toes. The profit prospect was out lined by Agriculture Department officials who explained: The agency has purchased 32,000,000 bushels of surplus po K tatoes at a cost of $42,000,000, in- eluding handling and transporta tion charges. The potatoes were sold to starch makers and liquor distill ers for about $10,000,000 a loss of $32,000,000.

VP) A typhoon roared today across this big U. S. naval base and three more fortified Mariana Islands to the north, leaving heavy military game in Myrtle Point territory. Roseburg's first score came after a series of three first downs had advanced the ball to the Myrtle Point 16-yard marker, from which point Pope tossed a bulls-eye pass to Benson in the end zone. A pass from Evans to Benson, from the 19 to the 5-yard line, set up a second score early In the second quarter. Pope picked up four yards and Ullrich drove through for the score. Late in the second period, Har vey and Pope combined to turn in a spectacular play when Har vey received a Myrtle Point punt on his own 35-yard line, shook off several, would-be tacklers, then lateralled across field to Pope who, ran 75"yards for the touch down. The third quarter was score less, although the Indians threat ened twice, but two more scores, one ifollowing a pass intercep tion, were posted in the fourth quarter. In the final period Coach Ing ram withdrew his first string, but returned the starting lineup to the field, when an interference penalty threatened to erase the potential shutout. Pope's Kicking Accurate An outstanding feature was Pope's place kicking. He kicked successfully for the extra point after eich touchdown, but one kick was canceled by a holding penalty. Roseburg's line carried spec tacular power, particularly on the left side, where Captain Bill Marsters, 190, at tackle, opened wide holes for Roseburg's gallop ing backs.
