School District
Employes Donate
To Hospital Fund
Expressing appreciation of the
growing needs of Roseburg, the
employes of School District 4, in
cluding the teachers, principals,
custodians, cooks and administra
tive officers pledged $816 to the
Douglas Community Hospital
Fund, the City Teacher Associa
tion announced today.
This amount represented nearly
a day's pay for most of the staff,
and was given without any op
portunity to increase the total
amount of their earning during
the school year, it was reported.
A statement from the Associa
tion said: "No group appreciates
the handicap of insufficient fa
cilities any keener than the em
ployes of District 4. In the face
of rising living costs with limited
income, this group knows the
need of additional hospital space
and wants to be counted in help
ing to supply that space.
We are particularly conscious
of the need of more school rooms
and hope the community will
make possible that building by
voting for the bond issue on the
afternoon of Monday, Oct. 18, at
the Junior High School." '
Soviet Paper Refers To
Spain in New Rap at U. S.
MOSCOW. Oct. 13 iJP New
Times referred to Spain in an
editorial headline today as "the
sixth members of the western

"American Imperialists since
long ago have been taking mea
sures to turn Spain into their
base," the Soviet weekly said.
"No considerations of a moral
character hold back American
expansionists and their servants.'
(The term "sixth member of

Union. This is an economic and

How did it happen 7
It began around a conference
table in London in 1944. At the
table was the European advisory
commission set up by Russia, the
United States and Great Britain.
Russia, the United States and
Britain were united with a com
mon aim to smash Germany.
The watchword was cooperation.
The men around the table set
up lines for the occupation in
Germany without too much
trouble.
Then It became a question of
which city should be the seat of
government for the victorious
powers. The Russians wanted Ber
linwhich was deep in their as
signed zone.
The Americans were opposed.
But it seemed not too Import
ant at the time, when all stress
was on occupation. So, the West
gave In.
Berlin was aet as the Allied
capital
The right of the western pow
ers to be in Berlin as occupying
Dowers was clearly established
by the London agreements. The
getting in and out was left to
the goodwill of the Russians.
These agreements were clear
and worked for nearly two years
with only minor difficulties.
Goodwill Disappears
Meanwhile, however, the era
of goodwill was running out. The
Allies were at odds on what kind
of a postwar Germany should
be created. Other East-West con
flicts cropped up around the
world.
The Russians wanted a Communist-dominated
central Ger
man government with full police
powers. This was unacceptable to
the West.
The Allied Control Council, set
up to govern all of Germany, bog
ged down with Soviet vetos.
The foreign ministers of the
Big Four tried to solve the situa
tion. They ended in worse dead
locks. Meanwhile, divided Western
Germany was falling to pieces.
Factories lacked raw materials.
Unemployment mounted.
The meat of western Europe
was not much better off. Com
munist parties, thriving on pov
erty ana misery, made headway.
Something had to be done, arid
it was. The United States agreed
to finance a vast European re-

OKLAHOMA CITY. Oct. 13 UP
The Republicans are sure getting
a lot of work out of Koy turner
the 100 per cent Democratic
governor of Oklahoma.
Every time a big Republican
like Tom Dewey comes to steal
Oklahoma from the Democrats,
hospitality forces Turner down
to the station to gladhand them.
First it was Earl Warren.
Today it's Dewey himself.
And tomorrow it'll be Harold
Stassen.
Since Turner Is national presi
dent of the Truman Barkley
Clubs, you can Imagine how hap
py this makes him.
But what can a governor do?
People wouldn't want him sulk
ing in the statehouse, so Turner
puts on his biggest Truman but
ton and does his duty.
Today It wasn't so bad. If the
thought of shaking hands with
Dewey was a pang, at least it
was the lesser pang.
Turner railed off a serious per
sonal appointment to meet to
day's Republican.
It was either Dewey or the
