LET'S hark back here lot a moment to the Moscow news paper talk about Sweden and Nor way. We don't pay much atten tion to newspaper "talk" In this country. It's Just somebody's opinion. We mustn't forget that In Russia tfie newspapers are a part of the GOVERNMENT, and are used to put out whatever the government wants put out. e IN Korea, a' responsible American correspondent reports, the Rus sians are building a fortllfed line between Russian North Korea and American South Korea. Maybe, the correspondent (AP's Roy Roberts) says, they're doing It to prove 'to the North Koreans that the Americans in South Korea are gcttlhg ready to at tack. (That, you see, could be the lame principle they may be lol ' lowing In Sweden and Norway ihat Is, charging us with planning to do them dirt and then usifcg the charge as an excuse to do 11 to us first. IN Washington Bernard Baruch (whose advice has been right much oftener than it has been wrong) asks Congress for "action now" approving universal mili tary training and a temporary draft. He says: "The time for study is over." L . , . HE then offers a statement thai all reasonably well-Informed persons know to be true. He says: ; 1 "So terrible are the destructive potentialities of modern instru mentalities of war that it Is no longer good enough to punish an ' aggressor AFTER he has begun a war. Preventing war (now) re quires buttressing our national security before the crisis is upon us. Never again do we dare per mit our own lack of preparedness to encourage any potential ag gressor into attacking tills coun try or into over-tunning other peaceful nations." THAT Is to say, the way to keep out of War is to make our selves so strong that It won't be safe for ANYBODY to tackle us. Baruch thinks we can do that. He says: "Although the time for decision has come, there Is no reason for panic or even fright . . . The re sources, economic, military and spiritual, which the free peoples ,of the world hold, arc vastly su perior to those which the lntnll tartans can command." " He adds: "We have but to mobilize enough of these resources and to apply them Intelligently, vigor ously and PROMPTLY to achieve the stability in the world which lasting peace requires." HE uses big words, but his meaning is clear enough. What he Is saying Is that if we start soon enough and work hard enough and intelligently enough we can make ourselves so strong that Russia won't attack us. Ex-Convict Must Now Pay Insurance on Safe NEW YORK, April t.- .V-ln addition to paying his debt to society by serving time In prison, a safecracker must pay an Insur ance company tor damage lie did to a vault and safe, a Stale Su preme Court jury rulrd bore. The amount Is $M2 including interest and II will lie easy fur the convict, 33-veaiMild Stanley Patrek, to pay. He has $15,000 in bank accounts, Justice James B. M. McNally noted. Patrek, who pleaded his own THREE MORE TO GO By CHARLES V. STANTON Newspaper readers have done a swell job in supplying information concerning early-day post offices in Douglas County; Assisting Lewis A. McArthur, Oregon historian, in gathering data Concerning little known stations of former years, readers of the Neivs-RevieiV and Port Umpqua Cour ier have identified eight of eleven post offices on which in formation was sought by Mr. McArthur. Three are still on the "missing" list Rowes, Louis and Kroll. Rowes post office operated from 1890 to 1892 and was closed to Glendale. Mr. McArthur wants to know, where it was located and how the name originated. John C. Moore was the postmaster. Can someone in the Glendale area sup ply the information oh this station? Write the editor of the News-Review, who will forward the data to Mr. McArthur. We still need information on Louis post office which was operated by David D. Huff in the 1890's. It was located near Elkhead. What Was the exact location and how did the name originate. Kroll post office was operated by William L. Forsyth, sometime, someplace. Where was it and what was the ori gin of the name? We await replies. Mr. McArthur writes of his appreciation for help given to date and says that "returns from readers in Douglas County have been especially remarkable and your paper must have a profound influence, especially amongst the old timers." Readers may be interested in his statement that "with the exception of Lane County, Douglas has had more post affices than any other county in Oregon, and yet the list of unkowns is really small. One of these days I shall succeed in getting most of them. The problem in Lane, Klamath, Curry and Baker counties is tough." Bertha B. Pennell of Tiller writes to report that the spell ing of Kohler, as used in connection with the post office at what is known as Reuben, was in error and backs it up with a postcard mailed April 18, 1911, and bearing a postmark from "Koler" post office. "It could not be named Reuberii" Bhe reports, "because of a Reuben in Columbia county in this state. Freight orders at Portland were at times sent to the wrong Reuben, causing the railroad men extra worry and delay. I understood that the post office department had the name spelled "Koler." George Burnett, Myrtle Creek, previously had reported that the station was named for Richard Kohler, general manager of the Southern Pacific railroad company. The spelling "Kohler" was used by the historian. Additional information also is given on Wroe post office, located four miles up the north fork of Smith River, about 20 miles up Smith River from Gardiner. We previously had a report from Mrs. George Thomas of Roseburg, who taught school in that district in 1922-23 i but another letter has come in written by William M. Wroe, a brother of Floyd A. Wroe, tho postmtiHtor for whom the station was named. "The post office never was operated, only installed," the writer says. "After he (Floyd Wroe) had everything ready for the post office, several families moved awny and then there wasn't enough money in it, so he never went through with it. Floyd A. Wroe passed away several years ago in Portland, George B. Baldoree used to live around here years ago, but I can't remember him ever operating a post office." We have, with the help oT the Port Umpqua Courier at Reedsport, succeeded in locating and getting information on Willard, Sampson and Ruby post offices, previously unre ported in this column and will pass on these reports another day. In the meantime, if readers of the three post offices so far and Kroll please write all you the News-Rcvivw editor. Or if anyone has more complete in formation about any of the post offices so far reported in the list, we would like to have the comments. Mr. McArthur is interested in obtaining as much local history surround ing each of these stations as he can obtain. case, contended he was not liable to pay the Aetna Casually and Surety Company which Insured the safe, because he was acquitted of the specific charge of burglary when tie was convicted oi grand larceny.

RHS Indians Drill For Doubleheader Ifh Grants Pass Coach Ceorne Erickson's Rose burg High School Indians will hold their final workout this af ternoon prior to the opening ol the spring baseball season, with a double-header baseball same slated at Giants Pass Friday af ternoon. Just how good the Grants Pas-, Lavemen are Is not known here, but Coach Erickson will have a better opoprtunity to evaluate his own green squad during the con test. Inexperience will handicap the Indians, as there are only three lettermen, Chuck Scofield, a pos sible starting pitcher. Jerrv Coon and Harold Edgar, both outfield ers ,are on tne roster. The coach has been working the boys in various positions this week in ah effort to find the most effective combination, but states he will not select a start ing lineup until the day of the game. Most promising to date are Sco field, Ronnie Oiler, Wayne Relt man and Tom Johnson, with all likely to see action in the two games. John Raushert and Bob Saunders are shaping up as catch ers. Infielders Include Bill Madson, or Bob Rogers, first base; Buddy Mathews or Dexter Garey, sec ond; Leo Bowers or Archie flut ter, third, and Stan Cornutt or Frank Webber; shortstop. Most promising outfielders are Nlel Wessing, Coen and Edgar. However, the conch says, some of the younger fellows may crowd those showing the best now as the season progresses. Beavers Post 2nd Win Over Oakland (By the Associated Press) The racket you hear in the Pacific Coast league ball parks comes from tne hits banging against the fences. Batters bombarded pitchers In the games last night, the second day of competition in the Ions season. Los Anglelr' Angels topped them all wllh a 20 hit assault that sank San Diego, 17-1, a score duplicating Hollywood's opening night win over Seattle. Seattle tallied 11 hits last niirht to even things with the Stars, 4-3, in 10 innings. Portland's Beavers, who beat Will Hafey opening night, took picks ori his pitcher-brother, Tom Hafey, last night as they beat the Oaks' 94. Each team got nine hits. San Francisco used a nine-hit attack to heat Sacramento, 4-1. Portland's Diliiasl coasted alonp; against) Oakland. being sjirrtled a 9-2 lead by the fifth, but tho Oaks touched him lor two runs in the ninth. Tom Hafey, who slarted for Oakland, had to be tfenieked in the fouth. Reich and Mullen hit home runs for the Beavers. . , Massachusetts Boxing Law Will Bar Unfit BOSTON, W) Professional boxers would be forbidden to com pete in Massachusetts unless cer tified by a doctor if thev had been knocked out six times In a year under a bill approved by the legislative committee on public safety. The measure, which requires that doctors passing on a boxer must be selected by the boxing commission, is now in the State House. It would be effective If the boxer had been ruled knocked out, either by a ten count or a tochlnical kayo. If a boxer was found to be physically unable to box by an examination under the proposed statute, he would be allowed to apply for reexamination In three months. High School Football To Be on College Pattern NEW YORK (P) Next sea son the nation's high schools will play their football on the college pattern. A uniform set of playing rules was adopted here by a special committee representing both the college and high school organiza tions. Whereas in the past there have been as many as 150 differences in the two codes, the revised standards reduce these differences to half a dozen, none important. The rna I n differences remain ing de:il with length of quarters and substitutions. Striking Typos Told To Negotiate New Contracts INDIANAPOLIS.'
