TWO NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 194? Youth Steals Safe To Buy Yute Gift For Girl Friend COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 7. f) A Portland, Ore., youth told po lice ,he stole a 300-pound safe to buy his girl a belated Christmas gift. Detective Sgt. Herman Beck said George C. Lyons, 23, admitted breaking into the Alaska Distrib-' uting Co. Tuesday night and hauling the safe in his auto. Ly ons was charged today with burg lary and grand larceny. The youth told this story: He knocked off the safe hinges with an ax, removed S100 and a book ol the company's cheeks and dumped the safe in a creek. He returned to the Alaska Distribut ing Co. and filled in a number of the checks on the lirms check protector, then tried to cash one of them to Duy a suit. This was his downfall. The tai lor called police, saying he thought the handwriting "didn't look right." They were waiting lor Lyons wnen he returned to pick up the suit. The detectives said Lyons told them he had wanted money to buy his girl a Christmas present because she had given him one. He had his eye on a $1,700 dia mond ring, he said. Prosperity Cooperation Requested by Truman (Continued from Page One) even to mention the price de clines of recent months. Today's message had this reassurance: 1. "It is possible that we mav not, In fact, be forced to use such controls" as the standby price, wage and allocation powers he wants on the law books. 2. The tax policy "should be flexible and should be promptly adjusted to the changing needs of nusiness ana consumers an lm- J)lied promise to lower rates again f a recession hits. 3. Price ceilings, if they are In voked on key materials, will be selective and not the "general or over-all price control of the war time variety." Any legislation should encourage voluntary price cuts before ceilings are clamped on. 4. Private enterprise Is the na tion's prime reliance "for econom- Starts SUNDAY One Weekl ' l Jl- ; E WAYHE WALTER BREHNAN MmIiiihi CttfT Jmom mm ic results," aided by a "vigorous government and the mutual re spect and trust that we all hold lor one another." Would Repeal Oleo Tax The president demanded rent control extension for at least two years." Today's legislative recommendations followed in the main his Wednesday program, with this additional tax proposal: some new excise taxes may ne uesiraDie, along witn the rise in corporation, gilt and estate levies and the possible boosts in middle and upper bracket income taxes, tsut tne oleomareirine tax and some others "should be re pealed." Mr. Truman also asked exten sion of the law under which steel and other scarce materials are allocated to vital industries bv voluntary industry agreement. But he added: "There is grave danger that the problems of acute shortage cannot be ade quately met by voluntary agree ments. I therefore ' recommend that the use of mandatory allo cation powers be authorized . . ." On the Issue of price control, Mr. Truman also declared him self convinced that voluntary ef forts "cannot meet the problem unless the government possesses the power to act firmly." While wage increases should be limited if they would other wise cause a break in price ceil ings, Mr. Truman said, there exist some current situations "where non-lnflatlonary wage in creases can be granted by em ployers without price increases.' He again scolded the housing inuusiry jor "nricine itself out of the market." And again he asked for strengthened rent con trol, slum clearance, and a public housing program to build 1.000.. 000 low-rent dwellings in seven years Mr. Truman opened his mes sage on a note of high optimism. "The people of the United States have just enjoyed another year of bountiful prosperity." he reported. But he soon moved on to a warning tone: "Let us all remember that our unparalled prosperity has not been maintained by chance, and that we can lose it if we leave the iuture to chance. . . ."

"Profits in 1948 surpassed all previous records and were rising throughout the year," he report ed, citing a profit total of $21, 000,000,000 or $3,000,000,000 over 1947. "As I pointed out a year ao, such profits are in excess of the levels needed to furnish incen tives and equity funds for Indus trial expansion and to promote sustained economic health, al though some businesses have not thrived nearly so well as others. . fa. 5 :J vi.

HAND MADE O UNION MADE GILKEY' 523 N. Jackson Phone 803-1 cause he is chairman of Senate Labor commit lee. Thomas acknowledged in a Senate speech yesterday that furl her labor legislation Is "called : for beyond the more restora tion of the Wagner Act. Hut he didn't call for it in the bill he Introduced. Unions Favor Wagner Act He chose rather to follow an Immediate course which is in line with labor union demands. The unions want to get lid of Taft-Hartley and go back to the j Wagner Act first of all. Then they and their congressional friends would be in a better bargaining position to rpsist the re-enactment of those parts of the Taft-Hartley Law they call objectionable. The Wagner Act of 1935, often called "labor's magna carla." guaranteed the rights of workers, to organize and bargain collec tively through unions of their own choosing. It also created the National Labor Relations Board to enforce these rights. In 1947, Congress re-wrote the Wagner Act in order to curb some union practices and im prove the position of employers. Congress also passed new provi sions relating to national emer gencies, an Independent media tion service, and olher things. All those things the new ver sion of the Wagner Act and the added provisions were put into one big bill. Tills was the Taft Hartley An. Under Thomas' proposal only one Taft-Hartley feature would remain: The Labor Hoard would continue with lis present five members, instead of going back lo three members as in the old Wagner Act. President Truman recommend ed that Congress repeal the Taft-Hartley law and restore the old Wagner Act with certain changes. The Weather U. 8.

Magnuson Silent On Reported Romance WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-4.n Widespread reports of a romance between Senator Magnuson and a sUiro and screen beauty failed to day to bring any response from the Washington slate lawmaker. His office reported it still had no word from the 43-year-old Democrat. Associates said they assume (a) Magnuson must have seen pub lished stories linking his name with that of June Millard, 25-year-old heiress-actress and (b) If he wanted to confirm or deny the stories he would have issued a statement. Magnuson was recorded as "necessarily absent" when the 81st Congress convened Monday. Shortly afterward reports were circulated that Miss Millard, al. so known as Toni Seven, had left New York with the intention of marrying the once-wedbut-dl-vorced senator. Softer Policy Toward Reds Denied by Truman WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. im President Truman denied today, emphatically and in detail, a pub lished story that he is engaged In a fight within his cabinet to soften U. S. policy toward Russia. At his news conference the chief executive asserted that there Is no change in this country's foreign policy. He said the article, by Jay Franklin in Life Magazine, is without foundation in fact in nearly every instance and para graph. Mr. Truman said further that he never had a private conference or Interview with Franklin in his life. He said the writer had been In to see him about a Job a couple of times and that was all he knew. Franklin never saw a top secret document, the President said.

C, and a graduate of the University of North Carolina. He was practicing law in Washing ton with the late O. Max Gardner, former governor of North Caro lina, when President Truman ap pointed him budget director in August, 1946. In switching Webb to the State Department, Mr. Truman named Frank Pace of Arkansas, now as sistant budget director, to re place him as head of the Budget Bureau. Fred J. Lawton, a career onicer in tne Budget Bureau, was advanced to Assistant Bud get Director. Projects Talked At Lions' Session . A near record membership turn out was reported for the weekly meeting of the Roseburg Lions Club Thursday night in the Hotel Umpqua. Only one member, who had not previously been excused, was missing from the meeting. Means of keeping up the club member attendance to a maxi mum during the coming months, program possibilities and a dis cussion of future projects took up most of the meeting. The club voted that a house committee be appointed to study future attend ance problems. Carl Felker, vice-president, pre sided in the absence of Dr. L. M. Lehrbach, president, who is out of the city temporarily. It was reported the club is eligible for four "Scotch light" reflecting Lions head signs, one to be erected at each entrance to the city.

Guests at the meeting Included Bert De Han and Charlie Close Eugene; Leon Hugand, Medford, and J. W. Lowe, Roseburg. Roy S. Smith was introduced as a new member.

P) Hleh British government officials pri vately expressed entnusiasm to- day over Dean Aeheson's appoint ment as United States Secretary 01 aiaie. One informant In touch with cabinet opinion said Acheson is considered "a friend of Britain." When told about Aeheson's ap pointment this source exclaimed: "Oh, good." There was no immediate offi cial foreign office reaction to the resignations of George Marshall and Robert Lovett as Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State. But, again prlvalely, officials said they were sorry to see Mar shall go after all "his fine out standing work for the good of hu manity. One official who has had per sonal contact with Acheson called him A man who has always un derstood this country and sym pathized with lis problems."

Statewide testing of automo biles will be proposed, as will a plan to issue auto license plates on a staggered basis throughout each year. A new motor transportation act, based only on weight of trucks and buses, will be submit ted, to replace the present com plicated system based on weight and mileage traveled. Labor will ask for repeal of the 1947 laws banning secondary boy cotts, hot cargo actions and juris dictional disputes. But these will probably stay on the books, since the Republicans lead the Demo crats in the House 49 to 11, and in the Senate 20 to 10. Employers and labor also will tangle over labor's demand for increased unemployment and ac cident benefits, and over the em ployers' demand for lower unem ployment compensation taxes. Fair employment legislation will be submitted again. The pur pose is to prevent racial and re ligious discrimination. There will be bills to increase salaries of vir tually every public employe and official. Here are some other proposals lor rne legislature to consider: A one-man liquor commission. It now has three men. Increase public employes' re tirement age from 65 to 70. Allow sale of liouor bv the drink in clubs, and permit court appeals from liquor commission aecisions.
