He added that the way to handle communism is to keep it out in the open where people can see it. We have plenty of law al ready, he asserted, to take care ol attempts to overthrow the gov ernment of the United States by force. Out of this disagreement came a debate. It soemed to this writer that in the debate Stassen's posl tlon was woak. He gave the im pression that he hadn't really gone very deeply into the subject. That led to the thought that may be he had just seized on the "out law-communism" issue as an easy road to a lot of votes. Dewey, on the contrary, ap peared to be fiercely sincere in his belief that the wny to beat communism is to keep it out in the open and fight it as some thing that has no place in Amer ica because it has nothing to of fer to Americans. f HAT fits into a theory that this writer has held lor some time. It seems to me that people arc Bck and weary of the political methods of the past. INSINCER ITY has been the outstanding characteristic of these methods. Promise anythinlg that at thr moment seems to be popular whether you believe in it or not. Beat the drum for any issue thai seems to have a lot of followers. WhHt matters it whether you be lieve what you are saying? Get the votes. principles. It's VOTES that count not We've had too much of that in the past. It has brought us to where we are now. Where we are now is a long, long way from where we'd like to be. So maybe people arc beginning to realize that only SINCERE leadership will get us whore we want to be. IN THE Dewey-Stassen debate, Dewey appeared to be more ut terly sincere in his position than was Stassen. it Js true that what people are seeking is SINCERITY IN LEADERSHIP, it followed natur ally that Dewey would win in Oregon. Anyway, that Is tills writer's theory of what hnppened Friday. Graduation Exercises Held at Scotts Valley YONCALLA Graduation exer cises for the eighth grade class lit Scotts Valley School were held at the school last Thursday eve ning. Diplomas were awarded to Richard Kingery, Mallow Full bright, and Sandra Dny. The Rev. Fred O. Hunt deliv ered the address of the evening. The valedictory address was given by Marlow Fullbrlght. San dra Day read the class history; Richard Kingery read the class will. Presentation of diplomas was made by Raphael Wise, chairman of the school board. Frank von Borstel, Jr., county 4-H club agent, presented 4-H awards. Mrs. Bessie Mulkey, teacher, played the processional and reces sional at the piano. Musical selec tions were presented by students. At last, at last, it's here! We now have the dog to wag the tail. Our beautiful new press, which has been standing so handsomely in our brand new press room, gorgeous but silent, now has a motor. Maybe just maybe we'll be in full production soon. But we've still got our fingers crossed, Just to recount a little past history, we waited two years to get the press which had been promised in nine months Then, when "we received and assembled the press, we were forced to wait for the motor and drive machinery. We have had since late February to admire the new press, fully assembled and ready to operate, while we awaited arrival of the motor. News that the motor was ready for shipment came just as railroad unions were preparing to strike. Rather than risk delay by having the shipment strikebound, we ordered delivery from Chicago by motor truck. We were promised delivery in six to eight days. That was on May 10. While we impatiently and expectantly awaited arrival, sweating out one breakdown on the old press, truck company officials were burning up the wires trying to trace the delayed motor, finally located on a sidetracked trailer. Once located, the motor was highballed through to Roseburg, arriving Sunday night. But, when we received the bill of lading, we found that the chain required for power transmission had been omitted, So we went through another frantic spell while the drive chain was forwarded by civ express. The press erector, a fo-Aory representative directing in stallation, insists that all parts now are present or accounted for. We Bincerely hope he is correct in his appraisal, but we've been disappointed so often, we still can't accept the fact that the press is about ready for operation. News-Review readers may wonder this week what's hap pening around our office. While we're making trial runs with the new press we may print one section of the paper on one press and another section on the other. As the page size for the new press Jb slightly longer and narrower than the page to which our readers are accustomed, our paper may present a rather fantastic appearance if we use both machines. But our present plan is to transfer our entire operation to the new press June 1, if no additional obstacles arise, and publication appearance then should be uniform, We are extremely grateful to our readers and our adver tising patrons for their patience and tolerance during the several years that we have been working under severe handi caps. We have at times been forced to curtail production and even yet must limit advertising. Unless we run into a paper shortage, however, we'll soon be able to take off all the wraps. Our circulation manager is now completing arrangements to establish door-to-door carrier deliveries in Drain, Yon calla, Oakland, Sutherlin, Myrtle Creek, Riddle and Canyon ville. Readers in those communities soon will be approached by their "Little Merchant" carriers and, jf they so desire, may arrange to have their papers delivered to their homes each evening at about the same time Roseburg subscribers are receiving their papers. The carriers also will solicit for new subscribers, something we have been wanting to do for the past six years but which we couldn't do because of our production limitations. Another reason we have been so anxious t,- get our new press in operation is that we have arrangea to give our readers "Blondie," the nation's most popular comic strip. Newspaper readership studies show that Blondie, Dag- wood, Alexander and Cookie are the most popular comic strip characters in the world. The same studies show "Out Our Way" to be the No.' 1 panel cartoon. With "Blondie" added to our family, we will be able to offer our readers the two top comics in the nation, as "Out Our Way" has long been a News-Review feature. So look for "Blondie," starting June 1. And wc have other pleasant surprises in store for our readers in the way of entertainment and features to be an nounced soon. In addition we will be able to expand our news and picture coverage as well as our advertising service. We hope to be able to publish a newspaper more in keeping with the growth of our community thtin has been possible in the past because of production limitations. We hope you'll join us in keeping fingers crossed until the new operation, about which we have been dreaming and planning for so many years, becomes a reality.

Fenton May Face Tough Substitute On Tonight's Bill The possibility appeared today that another fighter may have to be substituted for Jimmy Ogden of Portland against Babe Fenton, Sutherlin scrapper, in one of the two main events of tonight's box ing card at the Armory. Promoters Bill Olsen and Rurlv Schlotthauer received word last night that Ogden had been in jured and may not be able to ap pear, ine promoters nave not been able to learn the extent of his injuries. However, they assured that a suitable opponent for Fenton would apnear on the oard. Olsen said that capable and well trained suostitutes are usually available for such emergencies and that he had been informed from Portland that a worthy opponent would be sent down if Ogden could not appear. uisen gave assurance that a well balanced card bad been lined up, and that fight fans would be given their money's worth. Dick Wolf, Klamath Falls, and Dean Abney, Salem, are matched in the second of the dou ble main event for an eight-round go, and as this is billed as a grudge re-match, anything can be expected to happen. bod -iuci isazeirod, making his first professional fight in Roseburg, promises from evi dence from his scrap book to make one of the outstanding fights of the evening in his ap- gearance against Chris Holmes, alem. Nazclrod's record shows that as an amateur on the East Coast he put on some great fights against some of the top ranking amateurs. One of his fights is reported to have been so outstand ing it made the headlines for months afterwards and his man agers promise this one will be as good. While there will be two four round preliminaries to add to the card, an added attraction billed at 8 o'clock as a prelude to the boxing show will be the anpear ance and introduction from the ring of 13 beauties, who are com peting for the honor of being queen of Sutherlin's Timber Pays centennial ceieoration July a, and 5. The girl candidates sched uled to appear are Doris Beamer, Donna Enyart, Beverly Pone, Joyce Sheffel, Gerry Olson, Doris Price, Ella Mae Lesinger, Joan Powers, Donna Cracroft, Connie Groshong, Beverly Nicolazzi and Dixie Emerson. Miss Emerson is also the Roseburg Sheriff's Posse s Rodeo queen.

Henry Wognqr Rt. 1, Sutherlin ' Newhouser Hits Winning Streak As Detroit's Ace By JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sports Writer) Detroit's loyal baseball fans were beaming again today. Hal Newhouser. one of thplr ormtmt Idols since Ty Cobb, finally has utgun to iook line tne pitcher he was in in and 1MB. Those were the years the south paw star rolled up 80 victories wnue losing only 27 games. Hal's return to form began last Wednesday when he hurled a masterful four-hitter against the Boston Red Sox. He followed yes- icrauy witn a seven-nit t-2 tri umph over the Washington Sen ators. That was only Newhouser's third win of the season. Since he beat the Chicago White Sox in the opening game, he had been shelled from the mound five straight times and had dropped four decisions. . The victory was the Tigers' 16th against as many defeats and strengthened their hold on fourth piace. They now enjoy a full game lead over the St. Louis Browns. The defeat dropped the Senators into a sixth place tie with the Boston Bed Sox. Dodgers Quit Cellar The Brooklyn Dodgers were en joying a new experience today. They were riding high, wide and handsome in a one-game winning streak. The man resnonsible for Brooklyn's first success since May 13 was southpaw Preacher Roe. The Brooks had dropped eight straight to fall into the National League basement. Roe went the route with an eight-hit, 9-4 win over the Cincin nati Reds. Incidentally, it was Roe who won the last Dodger game via a 9-3 score, and then too it was the Reds who were the victims. The victory pushed the Dodgers up two notches into sixth place, seven percentage points in front of the Chicago Cubs. The Reds dropped into the cellar. Dubiel, who onyl 10 days ago Dubiel, who only 10 days ago with three hits, pitched another three-hitter last night as the Phil lies whipped the National League leading St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2 in Philadelphia. Blatnik, Philadelphia's rookie outfielder, continued his spectacu lar hitting with a double and triple, driving in two runs. Dubiel also collected two hits and scored twice. Musial's seventh home run I accounted for the Card's runs. No other major league games were scheduled.
