ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG. OREGON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1947 NINE City Resists Plan To Scrap Warship In Its Harbor NEWjfRK. N. J., Nov. 12. (.P) The city of Newark's two-fire-boat navy armed with chemical sprays and water hoses manned battle stations today In an at tempt to blockade the onetime battleship New Mexico as the 30,-000-ton warship was en route to a salvage dock. here. City officials, who have re quested the Navy to vacate its lease on part of the port In order to permit the start of a 570,000.. 000 development program, said they wanted no more ships scrap ped at Newark and would block the channel entrance to halt the New Mexico End the three tugs which are towing It Mayor Vincent-J. Murphy said, however, that his disoute tndcy was mainly with the salvage firm, Lipsett, Inc., to whom the Navy had leased the salvage dock and sold the de-commissioned New Mexico. Murphy made It clear he wanted no battle with the Navy and had nothing against the New Mexico. . "She is a fine old ship with a wonderful record," he said, "but the New Mexico is no more a part of the Navy today than our fire boats are part of the Coast Guard, which originally had them. The New Mexico has been purchased by Lipsett. Inc.. from the Navy and is now merely a potential scrap heap." Navy officials agreed It was not their fight. Rear Adm. Rus sell S. Berkey, acting comman dant of the Third Naval District, said in New York that "a prelim inary examination of the situa tion at Newark would Indicate that the Navy is not directly con cerned." While the New Mexico neared New York harbor en route from Boston, Newark officials appeal ed to President Truman for some moral support before sending the citv'e two 30 foot f iceboats against the giant ship. Farmers to be Asked to Plant More Feed Grains WASHINGTON. Nov. The government plans to ask farmers to plant nearly 6.5 per cent more land to livestock feed grains next year in an effort to replenish supplies cut short by this year's poor corn crop. Larger grain harvests will be needed if a serious shortage of meats, dairy and poultry products Is to be averted In 1949. These feeds will be scarcer in 1948 than this year because of the present corn shortage. 9 T' si r f SpV"- NEW COME IN AND SEE THE FORD TRACTOR AND DEARBORN Implements UMPQUA TRACTOR CO. 125 S.

Dewey you must first pass the critical mus ter of a big, red-haired, well armed state policeman, who then unlocks the door leading to the governor's office suite. This American political oddity that even in a democracy the major public servants have to be protected from the people they serve has always interested me. I asked about the locked door. "It wasn't Dewey's Idea," an Albany newsman said. "It's been the custom here for some time. You know In a state as big and complex as New York there are a lot of screwballs, and . . ." And that explains the police guard and locked door. Going through the outer office you pass a shelf parade of 150 miniature souvenir elephants col lected by Executive Secretary Paul Lockwood.

The day I calTed Dewey was dressed in a brown suit and tie, guiltless of wrinkle. About both his person and his office there was an air of careful neatness and precision. The reporter accompanying me remarked Jokingly that I had come to get the governor's an nouncement he would seek the Republican presidential nomina tion. Dewey gave me a precise smile. "That makes you a member of a very large club," he laughed. Less Reserved in Manner At 45 Dewey looks no older than the days when he first won national attention as the rackets-fighting- Manhattan district at torney. He Is less reserved in manner now, however, and for half an hour chatted pleasantly off the record on political figures. He impressed me as a man of quick keen wit rather than broad humor. Kpys to any man's Intellectual life are the books he reads and the men he admires. Dewey said the book he remembered as in fluencing him most in his forma tive years was "the autobio graphy of Lincoln Steffens" which pictured the decay of city government under boss rule. He still prefers biography to other types of reading. He said the political leaders of the past who had most guided his thinking were Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and Lincoln. State Treasury Guarded He said his biggest worries had been to obtain proper staffs lor state mental hospitals and to "keep the wolves away who wanted to squander our wartime treasury surplus." ' His biggest problem now Is to get contractors to bid at prices he feels are reasonable on recon struction and highway projects for which $450,000,000 is ear marked. He thinks it essential that the state maintain a large financial reserve. "Relief costs could go up $100,000,000 In a single year," he said. "That Isn't any Immediate problem, but I have to think of the future welfare of the state." He said he found his work as governor more fun and less ex citing than the years spent in convicting public enemies. Marshall Scores Trial of Maniu WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-4.V) Secretary of State Marshall yesterday denounced the recent trial of former Premier Jullu Manlu in Romania as another ef fort by a Communist-dominated regime to eliminate all opposi tion. Marshall told a news confer ence that the Hie sentence impos ed on Manlu by a Bucharest military tribunal would not les sen his statute in Eastern Europe as an outstanding champion of democratic ideals. Maniu, leader of the opposition Peasant Party, was convicted of treason Tuesday. Marshall declined to say wheth er the United States plans a for mal protest to Romania similar to the protest filed with Bulgaria against the execution of Nikola Petkov, Bulgarian ' opposition leader. Marshall said this govern ment's views on denial of human rights in Romania through arbi trary arrests and inhuman treat- About one person In seven em ployed in the United States gains his living from motor vehicles I--T&fr,-Vl!yi- "" ' - UNTIL 8:30 P.M. gyv "' -' ROSEBURG, ORE.
