The department was called to Montgomery Ward and Company store at 4:45 p. m. to wash sur plus oil down a drain, after an oil deliveryman, told to put 1000 gallons of oil in a 600-gallon ca pacity tank, started pumping the oil and left for a few minutes. He returned to find the tunk overflowing. The fire Jepart- ment assisted in eliminating the fire hazard by washine the sur plus oil down the drain. A rural call was made to 1380 Umpqua Avenue at 1:25 o. m. to the Lutman residence, and before that truck returned another was sent to the Fred Hunter home at 327 Mosher at 1:35 p. m. for another flue fire. At 7 p. m. an overheated oil stove in the U. S. National Bank again brought out the firemen. No damage was caused at any of these places. The final call came at 8:50 when the firemen took the resus citator to the Pine Court Apart ments and succeeded in reviving Vern Walton Yates, who was overcome by gas In what police termed an attempted suicide. Two calls were made last Fri day, one to a car fire at Stephens and Rice Streets, when the car of M. J. Magnus was badly dam aged at 1:10 p. m., and the other at 9:35 p. m. to another car fire at the Harold Horn home at 411 South Jackson.

Spot Zoning Opposed A letter o appreciation for his services, sent to the Rev. Walter A. MacArthur who resigned as a member of Ihe Commission at the last meeting, was read by City Recorder William Bollman. No successor to MacArthur has been named. The petition of O. N. Wallace for reaming of an area at the south end of the city from rom merclal and residential class II to Industrial, was returned to the City Council with the recommen dation that no changes be made at the present time. The change requested would be "spot zoning," it was explained. Unal approval was given to two nlals submitted last nieht These were the Qulhell Home- sites, located south of the city, and By-A-Rlver Meadows, be tween the North Umoaua River and Ihe Winchester-Garden Val ley Road. The first plat was pre sented by Floyd C. Frear In be half of John and Doris Qulbell, the second by Earl Wiley In his own behalf and his wife, Gladys G. Wiley. Tentative Approvals Tentative approval was given to four plats: Eugene Ridenour received ten. talive approval for a subdivision of an area on the Pacific High way near Club 99, north of the city. He had revised nis plans, which had received tentative ap proval at the last meeting. James R. Daugherty appeared with sketch maps of the John J. Thennes Grove, on Ihe Fisher Road near the North Umpqua tuver, and tne i nomas Kerr Ad dition north vt the city.

Washington St. and S. P. R. R. Tracks Cold War Cost in 1949 Estimated at $21 Billion (Continued from Page One) and other army-occupied areas this year. Next year the cost will drop slightly, by about $100,000,000, as recovery progresses and the Eco nomic Cooperation Administra tionthe Marshall Plan Agency absorbs more of the burden. Taken altogether, the Ameri can military program amounts to approximately twice the cost of all other foreign policy spending. A total of $3,500,000,000 this year will cover European recov ery, Greek-Turkish civilian and military aid, relief in occupied countries, China military and civilian aid. and a variety of les ser expenditures. Next year the actual outlay of cash for European recovery will rise by several hundred million dollars and a billion or more will be necessary to help finance a proposed new military aid pro gram to Europe. The wide spread between mili tary and other foreien soendine emphasizes one of the main foun dations of present American poli cythat this country's security and In fact rhe security of Ihe whole non-Communist world must be based primarily on American armed strength. One of the fundamental con cepts of cold war strategy as de vised by Secretary of Slate Mar shall and his top advisers is this: Jhere are only five areas in the entire world where the vigor and drive of the people coincide with the availability of such vital resources as coal and iron to cre ate modern power centers. These five areas are the United States, the British isles, the Ruhr section of western Germany, the Urals-Volga region of Russia, and the Islands of Japan. Of these five areas, three the United States, the British isles and Japan are firmly in the hands of the western, non Soviet peoples. The Ruhr Is safe ly held at present, but the aim of much of Russia's policy in Europe apparently Is to shake western control, and win access for Rus sian power to that area. Presumably, the major aim of Russian foreign policy eventual ly is to combine the Ruhr with the Soviet-Volga area and there by confront the rest of the world with a possibly unbeaten combl nalion of resources for massive modern war. The counter-aim of American foreign policy is to build Ger many, cooperatively with Britain and France, into a peaceful base for European recovery ai.J to build convalescent Europe Itself Into a great, new center of politi cal, military and economic strength.

Military' leaders asslened the job of defending the Yangtze are not too nappy anout it. No general in history lias ever been able to retain control over China by try ing to defend the Yangtze. In historical times military domin ance of China has hinged on con trol or inree river lines the Yangtze, Hwal and Yellow. Chi ang already has lost two of these lines.

I COUNTY ATOMIC POWER RACE SLOW Immense Cost Involved Keeps United States In Lead of 5-Nation Quest By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK UP) An international atomic power race Is get ting under way In the fourth year of the atomic age. The contestants are the United States, Britain, Russia, France and Canada. Progress In each is obscured by secrecy. But there is no cooperation. It is each nation for itself alone.

Wage Conference Plan Debated by Senators (Continued from Page One) become binding in practice and thus cause trouble," Thomas said. As for Morse's suggestion that any new labor-management con ference recommend provisions of a new labor law, Thomas said that would be passing the buck. "That decision is up to Con gress, after proper public hear ings," the Utah lawmaker de clared. But a CIO spokesman, com menting on the Council's sugges tion, said he thinks a conference would be a fine place to draft recommendations on such things as: (A) What to do about juris dictional disputes, (B) how to eliminate certain secondary boy cotts and (C) how to handle "na tional emergency" strikes. Morse Explains Stand Morse outlined his Ideas In an Interview before leaving to make a speech in Cincinnati. It seems to me. he said, "that leaders of American Labor and business have an opportunity to periorm a service ot Industrial statesmanship by reaching as many agreements as possible on the broad question of labor and business legislation to be consid ered by the 81st congress." The Oregonlan noted, as the Economic Council did, that the labor-management conference of 1945, accomplished little. But Morse said he believes the situa tion has changed since passage of the Taft-Hartley law in 1947. "It is certainly to be hoped that labor and management have learned the lesson that discrimi natory legislation which seeks to weaken bargaining strength docs not in the lung run work tc tne advantage of either," Morse said. Ihe lime has come for both labor and management to stop Jockeying for position to secure passage of legislation slanted in their favor. To that end. a confer ence of both sides would he a con structive aid to congress." ' "GOOD EVENING, Don't overload your wiring systtm. Whon you build or modorniio provldo ADfQtMT! WUINO. EXPERT ELECTRIC MOTOR REPAIR FOR SALE ELECTRIC MOTORS, ALL SIZES STEECK ELECTRIC CO. 119 N. Stephens The United States appears to lead But there is one 'if." If none of the others has dis covered a short-cut to make atomic power more cheaply and easily, such a discovery is not impossible. Each of the other nations has one of those Incentives whlcn are the mother of invention. For three nations, this incen tive is lack of the huge sums the United States is said to be lavish ing. Exact American figures are secret. But David Lilienthal. chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, says the money is greater than private American capital can afford. The three with the nones' pov erty Incentive are Britain, France and Canada. Russia has a differ ent incentive. She lacks coal or any other industrial power fuel at low cost. For her, atomic power could pay the biggest and quicKest dividends. Slow Progress Noted American power progress Is slow. In the fourth year afler the war, America finishes her first postwar pile. It has enough heat for power experiments. At first It was announced such experi ments would be made. Now unof ficial reports are probably no power at Brookhaven. N. Y. The first atomic steam-electric power plant Is to be built neat Saratoga Springs, N. Y, under the General Electric Company plan which was announced re ccntly. Construction might take years, but no figures have been Issued. During the first two postwar years, an experimental atomic power plant was repeatedly re ported under way at Oak Ridge, Tenn. A year ago it was disclosed nothing had been built, and per sonnel of Oak Ridge power was transterred to the Argonne Labo ratory in Chicago. At Argonne nothing has been announced except a study of con centrated energy. At Los Alamos, New Mexico, the "watch charm" atomic plant has been publicized to the extern of permitting Information that U is small, maybe not bigger than an atomic bomb, and that it does not give much heat. Private Industry Blocked Nucleonics, a new atomic en ergy scientific publication, has said editorially that private Amer ican industry, If permitted a free hand, would have atomic power already years ahead of itj pres ent stage. The McMahon act pro hibits Industry from making Its own private plants. Atomic Energy Commissioners have not said how far along power may be. Their most sig nificant move In 1948 was to pre dict that It should be possible to build power plants that will "breed" more atomic fuel than they consume. The significance is that if this plan falls, then the atomic age will be limited. Breeding means that uranium 235, in burning or splitting, will create either Plu tonium or uranim from thorium. Uranium 235 is far the scarcest of the three metals, and might not last long by itself. Commissioners have suggestec' that until the breeding problem Is solved it may be unwise j burn the uranium resources. They have said that power is NEW LOCATION! Dr. H. B.

Sales on men's clothing were held in New York, Boston, De troit, Chicago, Kansas City and Dallas. A Chicago store put 10,000 men's fall suits on sale, "great est sale in 10 years." Kansas City stores were put ting on sale women's apparel and shoes, men's suits, home furnish ings, blankets and sheets down about 60 per cent from last year. AoDliances Included Cleveland stores were clearing out wearing apparel and house hold appliances, with ma.-kdowns averaging 25 to 40 per cent. ban rranclsco mercnants re ported generally stronger clear ance action, slightly larger mark- downs and wider range of goods offered. All said the public is more value-conscious this year than last. The Seattle story was a little different. Clearance sales include a comparatively small amount of the total merchandise, even less than previous years. Shoes and tasnion Items are the principal types being cleared out. And mark-downs also were generally smaller than in other years. International Control Of Ruhr Agreed On (Continued from Page One) the French often the victim of German aggression who argued with success that Germany's in dustrial might was developed in the coal, coke and steel produc tion of the Ruhr's concentrated industries. The decisions will be put Into torce just as soon as the agree ment is signed by the six govern ments. The British cabinet al ready has given It an okay. In dealing with future German participation the communique said: "Soon as a German government is established, it will have the op portunity of acceding to the agree ment .
