He hasn't had time to catch up with It yet. SKIPPING across a hall a world, military police In Shanghai announce the arrest of a dozen kidnapers of a wealthy Chinese couple and explain that the gang had demanded as a ransom "224 TONS OK IUCE OF THE BEST QUALITY AND 12 CARBINES. Not money, you see. In China, Inflation has cone so far that money is comparatively useless because you can't eat it, you can t wear it and you can't shelter yourself with It. THINGS were what these bandits wanted. Rice to eat. Guns lo threaten people with, so Unit maybe they could he scared Into giving up more food. THINGS are what count in this world we now are living In. THE same significant story, in a slightly different form, comes from Germany, where General Lucius Clay reports that Germans ROVING THE COUN TRYSIDE IN QUEST OK. FOOD have fought gun hattlos) with German police assigned to guard crops In the American zone. General Clay's report to Wash ington adds thai seven such af frays have occurred in Hesse in German political subdivision! dur ing the last two weeks of July. In Wurtemborg-Iladcn, he says, more than 400 pillagers over whelmed a small German police force guarding potato harvesters. THE teletypes pause for breath, then disgorge a tale that freezes the marrow of our bones. II comes from Las Vegas. A New Hampshire (New Eng land, mind you boy and girl got married anil started West, slug ging and killing (or trying lot as they came. They were caught In Las Vegas. In a cynical, bitter, half-boaslful confession they sum med up: "Our score in murder: Successful (murders) 3 Chicago one, California one, Louisiana one. Failed: Missouri one." THE girl went into It in detail. They started, she says, slug ging people and robbing tliein. Then they got hold of a gun and decided to add killing to their repertory. She goes on: "We tried it once in Texas, but the guy ran and we failed. . . . We then proceed to Ueno, where we met a rich old guy on a vaca tion. . . . We made friends with him and lured him into the mountains. ... I got him into the right position by my charm and my husband shot him three times through the head. . . . We stole his car and money, went back to Reno, gambled and got drunk and moved on to Las Vegas." Let's draw the curtain there. IN such a world atmosphere, United Nations is trying to stop a shooting war in Indonesia. Shooting war, you know, occurs when nations go on the loose as people have gone on the loose in these instanevs described by the chattering teletypes. A little serious reflection will give you an Idea of the difficul ties Involved in stopping shooting war in a world that hasn't yet caught up with itself. By CHARLES V. STANTON We. are in possession of a "gripe" letter one of many. But the complaints contained therein are such that if re peated without factual contradiction might be exceedingly injurious to several worthwhile projects. It may be possible other people have the same mistaken ideas that have apparently so disturbed our correspondent, who, to save embarrassment, we will call "Mrs. X," although she makes no restriction on the public use of liermme.. Mrs. X writes: ; We're going to build a race track! Where do the funds for this project come from, may I ask? From the recrea tion fund? This would bo no surprise, as someone has been using the fund to promote adult entertainment, with no thought to the swimming pool, which was the original reason for the fund. If backers would have been tionest in asking for the fund and said It' would be spent for rodeo grounds and race tracks and posse uniforms, I am quite sure they would not have found It so easy to collect funds from the average Roseburg citizen. Most of us actually thought that our contributions would be used to build the kids In town a swimming pool. What are they going to build next a Turkish bath? Mrs. X is justified in asking for an accounting of funds, but her assumptions that swimming pool money is going for a race track, adult recreation or posse uniforms are in gross error. Should such rumors gain circulation they could be most damaging. The facts are that the swimming pool fund is intact; money for race track and other fair grounds improvements comes from state and county fair funds and rodeo profits; adult recreation expense is paid from a special recreation fund, levied as a part of the city budget, and posse members pay for their uniforms out of their own pockets. The swimming pool fund, raised by an annual city levy amounting to $1,750 and contributions from individuals, now stands at $40,919.77, including the levy authorized for 1947-48. This money is in a sinking fund and can be used for no' purpose other than swimming pool construction. It is possible that, having determined upon an Umpqua Park location, the Park Commission may authorize the first ex penditure from the fund this year and start excavation. Money for fairgrounds development comes from several sources. The start was made by a 1-mill levy authorized at a special election. The levy raised approximately $30,000 of which $17,000 was used in purchase of land. Douglas County receives from $1500 to $1700 annually from the state fair fund and from $7,000 to $10,000 annually from horse and dog race revenues. A county levy, amounting to one-fourth mill for county fair purposes, raises about $8,500 per year. All profits from the annual Douglas County rodeo go tir the fairgrounds fund. It may be interesting to Mrs. X and others to know that the posse does not receive one cent of profit from the show it sponsor each year. The County .1' air Hoard supervises ticket sales, income from concessions) etc.' Its representatives handle all rodeo money. Profits from the lust event will amount to from $5,500 to $0,000. Construction costs to date include, in round figures, $24,000 for grandstand, $24,000 for roof, $7,000 for. fence, which, coupled with the original purchase price, represents a total investment of approximately $72,300. It is proposed to construct a five-eighths mile track, cost ing approximately $10,000 together with a like amount for stables. Mrs. X wants to know where the money is coming from. The fair board anticipates revenue to include $1,700 from the state fund, $8,500 from the county levy, $5,500 to $(5,000 from rodeo profits (not yet all in) and from $10,000 to $12,000 from horse and dog races not one cent from swimming pool or recreation fund. It costs money to conduct county fairs. They produce no revenue. Consequently the fair board has been concentrat ing on revenue-producing activities. Rodeo installations have proven profitable $2,400 the first year, $4,400 the second year, and at least $5,500 the third year. The race track, when installed, used for midget automo bile races, horse races, and possibly dog races, could be ex pected to yield $10,000. Thus as revenue is increased more money becomes available to provide pavilions and other facilities required prior to resumption of an annual county fair. Mize'sHome Run Pace Threatening Babe Ruth's Record By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer It is slill anybody's race in the National League and as long as big Johnny Mize keeps clouting those long ones, the homer hit ting New York oiants are not to be sold short. Mize not only is keeping the Giants very much in the pennant fighj,, but is seriously threaten ing what is probably the greatest batting .eat in baseball Babe Ruth's record of GO home runs in I he 1927 season. The hard hitting first base man walloped two into the Polo grounds stands last night to lead the Giants to a 5-2 victory over the Philadelhpia Phillies. The vic tory, coupled with the Braves' 4-2 win over Brooklyn in Bos Ion, reduced the league leading Dodgers' margin over the third place Giants lo seven games. The runer-up St. Louis Cards now trail the Dodgers by six games following their 8-2 tri umph over the Cubs. The Braves, in fourth place, are 10 games off the pace. Mize's pair of round trippars, his 33rd ajid 34th of the sea son, came in the Giants' 96th game and put him two games ahead of Ruth's record setting pace. Other Results Sain pitched and batted the Braves to their victory over the Dodgers. The big right-hander, who scattered nine hits for his 15th victory, rapped two hits, driving in the first Boston run and scoring the next one on Hopp's single. Camilli's sixth in ning double off losing pitcher Gregg scored two runners and broke up a 2-2 deadlock. A home run with the bases loaeded by catcher Rice and an other round tripper by Kurowski highlighted a six-run fourth in ning and heled Brecheen and the Cards to gain an easy win. Taking advantage of 10 bases on balls to arid to their 11 hits off four Cincinnati miners, the Pittsburgh Pirates disposed of the Reds, 12-4. Greenberg drove in three runs lo raise his season's output to 63 lor the Bucs this season. The Yankees stretched their American League lead to 14 games over the .runner-up Bos ton Red Sox by defeating the Athletics, H-f, while the Sox were losing a 3-1 decision to the Sena tors in Washington. The Cleveland Indians downed the Detroit Tigers, 8-4.

The Pacific Coast junior heavy weight professional wrestling championship will be at stake Saturday night at the Roseburg Armory where Herb Parks de fends his coveted crown against the challenge of Tex Hager, the erstwhile "Creswell Cyclone.'' Matchmaker Don Owen said that Eugene was also making a strong bid for the bout and' that Parks wanted to wrestle there be cause an option on the gate would give him a larger purse in view of the 3500 the Eugene Armory accommodates. Hager, however, requested that the match be staged here, so Owen guaranteed Parks S325 to persuade the cham pion to make his title defense in Douglas County. The championship skirmish will have a strong supporting match. Sugi Hayamaki, the sensational, young Oriental, will be meeting final bout that is certain to be a Donnybrook. Close followers of the mat sport here are confident that Hager will give a good account of himself against Parks. In a championship engagement here two weeks ago fiager neia tne upper hand until late in the match when Parks got a lucky break and won the third and de ciding fall. Parks will depend most on ag gressive grappling, and the Cana dian might use a lew illegal tac tics if in a tight spot knowing that he cannot lose the title if Hager is awarded a technical de cision. Hager's flying head scis sors Is one of his favorite holds.
