By FRANK JENKINS
EIGHT labor party members of
the British parliament have
been visiting with Stalin In Rus
sia. The visit started in Moscow.
They were then flown to Stalin's
villa on the Black Sea (which is
Russia's eouivalcnt of Florida or I
Southern California).
They report from Warsaw, in
Poland (presumably they are on
their way back to London) that
Stalin told them he wants to "re
solve" (a big word meaning set
tle) political and economic issues
with the United States and Brit
ain. They add that he "impressed"
them as having no thought of
war.
SOMEWHERE along the line,
these eight Britishers had a
AO-hour interview with the great
man of Russia. They quote him
as saying (among other things):
"We want as close trade rela
tions with Great Britain as pos
sible. We are INTERESTED in
the Ji-velor.ment of trade hetween I
our two countries.

agree, the better for good part

Menjou Knows Many Who
'Act Like Communists
Actor Tells House Group
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. OP) Adolphe Menjou told House In
vestigators today he has "heard" that John Howard Lawson, film
writer, is head of Communists in Hollywood but cannot prove It.
The dapper film actor also testified to the House Committee on
un-American Activities that he believes Herbert Sorrell, head of the
Conference ot Studio Unions, "is a Communist."
With a wave of his hand, he
said he would question the loyal
ty of anyone publicly associating
with Sorrell.
He was asked, as a member of
the Screen Actors Guild, if he
knows of any members who are
Communists.
"No," he replied, "but I know
a great many people who act an
awful lot like Communists."
Before questioning Menjou, the
committee made public testimony
he gave a subcommittee in secret
in Los Angeles last May 15.
This disclosed that Menjou de
clared at that time that Holly
wood "is one of the main centers
of Communist activities in Amer
ica." He also expressed the opinion
then that "it is the desire of the
masters in Moscow" to use
movies as a propaganda medium
toward the ultimate end of an
overthrow of the American gov
ernment. 'Outlawing Advocated
Menjou said he has no doubt
that Communists in the United
States are agents of Moscow and
are engaged in "treasonable ac
tivity." He urged that Congress out
law the Communist party be
cause "it is not a political party;
It is a conspiracy to overthrow
the government by force." He
also suggested that Congress
should "require propaganda pic
tures to be labeled as such.
"There has been an amazing
change in Hollywood" since the
House Committee started Its
work, Menjou volunteered.
He emphasized that he does
not consider any movie produc
ers to be Communists. On the
contrary, he said, they are "patri
otic Americans."
Menjou completed his testi
mony with a declaration that
"America should arm to the
teeth" and should adopt univer-
sal military train'.pg.

Chest Canvassers
Go Out for Funds
Almost 30 volunteer canvassers
for the Roseburg Community
Chest started their round of calls
on Roseburg business houses this
morning to collect $19,721.18. 'the
1947 chest goal, said Abe Bean,
campaign chairman.
The drive started with a "kick
off" breakfast in the Civic room
at the Umpqua Hotel, where
State Senator Tom Parkinson,
chairman of the board of direc
tors of the Community Chest,
turned the drive over to bean and
Don Radahaugh, who will active
ly direct the fund raising effort.
It was announced that down
town headquarters for the drive
have been changed to the Indian
theater, where individual contri
butions to the chest will be ac
cepted. The volunteer canvassers
will make their turn-ins at the
theater, also.
Bean said that a strong effort
will be made to collect a large
share of this year's quota by to
night, saving the remainder of
the five-day drivt for call backs.
The city has been divided into
20 zones In which there are 400
businesses, which will be asked
for stated amounts.
There will be no solicitation
of residential districts this year.
Individuals wishing to contribute
may do so at the downtown head
quarters, where an attendant will
be stationed all day, or through
their respective employers.
All lumber mills in the Rose
burg area will be contacted and
employes given the opportunity
of signing voluntary pay deduc
tions. The goal this year is almost
twice as much as last year. The
drive will benefit some 14 agen
cies, Including those of the Ore
gon Chest and the annual Cancer
Drive.

ROSEBURG. OREGON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2
Congestion of
Schools Cited
By Board Head
The Roseburg School Board
would issue bonds up to $G00,000
this year to construct addi
tions to the Senior High School
and Fullerton Grade School If
sentiment of the district's 'ax
payers favored that action, A. J.
(Bud) Ellison, chairman of the
school board, said at the Cham
ber of Commerce forum lunch
eon Monday.
Ellison cited the crowded con
ditions which exist at all of the
city's schools. He said that an en
largement of the Senior High
School and Fullerton Grade
School is "mandatory in the
coming year," if the school dis
trict is to maintain its educational
standards.
Classrooms at the high school
were designed to accommodate
25 to .30 pupils. Ellison said. With
the district's present soaring en
rollments, classes at the high
school have up to 35 to 40 pupils
and space for laboratory equip
ment is held to a minimum, he
said. He also pointed out that
teachers cannot devote as much
time to individual pupils in large
classes as In small.
Plan of the school board is to
move 9th grade classes to the
Senior High when the addition Is
completed, and to move elemen
tary grades Into the Junior High
building to relieve congestion in
the grade schools.
"The Junior High location Is
not tio good," Ellison said, "but
the taxpayers are not in a posi
tion to pay for a new building.
The suggestion has been made
that we sell, the building to city
officials for use as a civic center."
Poll Tests Sentiment
A poll was conducted among
persons at the forum to test the
sentiment toward a possible bond
issue. Thirty-one persons who
turned in the ballots indicated
they would favor a bond Issue,
eight were "evasive" while nine
expressed no opinion.
Ellison asked his audience
whether the district should bond
for all its anticipated needs
within reason now, or for only
part of its present needs. He said
that remodeling of the Senior
High and Fullerton Schools
would cost $fi00,000. Additional
projects would increase the fig
ure to $800,000. He said the board
felt the larger amount should be
asked, but not necessarily spent.

House of Lords
About to Lose
Ancient Power
LONDON, Oct. 21. Brit
ish socialists challenged the an
cient authority of the House of
Lords today.
King George VI, reading a
soeech written by his -abor
Party ministers, signalled a par
liamentary battle with the an
nouncement that legislation will
be introduced to curb the power
of the peers, the last conservative
citadel in the government.
The proposed legislation would
amend the parliament act of 1911,
which itself curtailed some of the
peers' power. Some sources said
the new bill not yet written
would be confined to reducing
the period for which Lords can
delay the enactment of legisla
tion aDproved by the House of
Commons.
The House of Lords In 1911 as
sented to a reform bill rather
than let the government take to
the voters an Issue of "the peo
ple versus the nobility" In an elec
tion campaign. At that time the
parliament act curbed the peers'
power to delav a money bill, fol
lowing their rejection of the 1910
budget.
Free Hand Wanted
However, while the 1911 act
curbed the Lord's power on
money bills, the upper house re
tained the right to reject other
legislation. The House of Com
mons then could enact such a
measure onlv by passing it in

High Price of Wheat
Blamed on Government
SPOKANE, Oct. 21. (,V)
Blame for the present high price
of wheat was laid today on the
government program of buying
to supply world needs.
A. E. Sutton. Portland, general
manager of the North Pacific
Grain Growers, Inc., said the
Commodity Credit Corxiration
has purchased 75 per cent of the
grain sold in the Northwest this
year, and added:
"It is the opinion of the 16 di
rectors and managers of this
marketing association that the
cause of high prices is due to gov
ernment buying to help satisfy
the world's needs and the drastic
shortage of corn."
Farmers holding grain off the
market are not seculatlng, Sut
ton said. "They are holding back
sales on account of heavy income

Dillard Man Patents
Chest Measuring Device .
A patent on a device for meas

suffering pulmonary ailments
has been granted Chris McCann
of Dillard. McCann's invention
consists of a belt with a gauge
to indicate whether air has been
completely Inhaled or exhaled.
While treating patients with In
halants, It is frequently difficult
for the physician to determine
whether or not they have com
pletely Inhaled or exhaled the
medicine, McCann said, in ex

to this purpose, the belt may tie

Report on the securing of op
tions for the E. 2nd Av. S. right
of way, necessary step lor widen
ing the thoiuuglifare, was given
by Councilman Percy Crolt to the
City Council last night.
Croft said that the committee,
of which he was chairman, had
secured options on 28 parcels ef
land varying In width from IS
feet to 700 feet: in depth, to widen
the street, from a few inches to
12 feet. All options were secured
without cost to the city or state
and there will be no properties to
condemn.
The street widening will start
from a point opposite the Inter
state Tractor and Equipment Co.
and extend easterly to the city
limits. Land has been acquired
principally on the south side, with
one small parcel on the north side
near the city limits.
Costs Are Estimated
Croft said that some commit
ments were made, in which the
city and state will jointly assume
the cost of reconstructing 12 feet
on the ends of two buildings and
of moving a service station and
three houses, and placing of side
walks on the south side.
Total cost to the city for mov
ing back buildings and houses
would be approximately 59,000,
Croft estimated. Whether the
state will assume a share of the
sidewalk construction costs is not
certain, as sidewalks presently do
not exist along the street.
"While this may look pretty ex
pensive," the councilman com
mented, "we should bear in mind
that we have had no engineering,
that all of the estimates have
been figured by the state, which
has also drawn all the plans."
Croft also pointed out that the
County Court was "big enough
and good enough" to allow more
than $100,000 "out of their
money" to be r.nent insjde the
citv. The city will now take title
to the land parcels and prepare
the deeds, he said.
Jeep Crash Kills
Crosby, Rodeo King
ROSWELL, N. M., Oct. 21.-P)
Boh Crosby, who cheated death
a thousand times on bucking
broncs and wild-eyed steers, is
dead from a Ji-ep accident.
The "King of the Cowboys"
died of head and chest injuries
near here yesterday when his
Jeep plunged 30 feet Into the dry
bed of the Pecos River.
Sheriff George Wilcox said the
50-year-old rodeo star's Jeep ran
off the approach to the river
bridge as he apparently turned
out to avoid hitting another auto
mobile. He was en route to his
Cross B Bar Ranch, 40 miles
northeast of here.
Crosby had been "King of the
Cowboys" to rodeo fans lor a
quarter of a century.
During his countless rodeo ap
pearances, Crosby had received
almost every kind of injury
from a broken leg to fractured
ribs and cracked skull. But he al
ways walked out of the hospital.
Crosby retired from active
rodeo competition in 194B. He
was permanent holder of the
Thwdore Roosevelt trophy as
world's champion cowboy after
winning It in three successive
contests In Cheyenne, Wyo., and
Pendleton, Ore.
Ills earnings In the rodeo In
cluding one tour of Europe paid

DeGaulIe'sYicfory
Brings Strike End
PARIS, Oct. 21. (.P) Gen.
Charles DeGaulle'a new antl.Conu
! munist party, the Rally of the
Flench People (RPK), held a,
steady lead over all other parties
today as the count of votes In
Sunday's municipal elections pro
ceeded slowly.
Frenchmen, convinced that
something would be changed as
a result of the election, awaited
a scheduled declaration from the
general tomorrow for a possible
hint as to how he Intends to ex
ploit his victory.
Frenchmen are sure that the
re-emergence of DeGaulle as one
of the top political flpurcs In
France means some changes are
going to be made.
One change already was evi
dent, and many Frenchmen attii
buted It to DeGaulle's victory.
Parisians woke up to find their
buses and subways running on
schedule after having been strike
bound for a week. The strike was
settled last night.
This work stoppage had been
depicted hs a struggle between
the non-Communist government
of France and the Communist
led labor unions. Positions of
both the government and the
Communists were said to have
been weakened by DeGaulle's
demonstration of strength, al
though the Communists did not
