Ministers Meet
In Pre-Big Four
Session Today
PARIS, May 21.WP) The For
eign Ministers of Britain, France
and the United States met here
today to forge a common front
in preparation for Monday's Big
Four Conference on the future
of Germany.
Secretary of State Dean Ache
son of the U. S. and Foreign Sec
retary Ernest Bevin of Britain
met in French Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman's office in com
pany with their top experts on
German problems.
They had before them a de
tailed plan for German policy
drafted by their deputies during
the week.
The deputies' recommendation
are secret and probably will re
main so until after the Big Four
Conference starts. Well-informed
officials, however, predict that
the ministers will approve it
quickly. It was worked out un
der guidance of the ministers
themselves.
Well-informed French sources
said the report embraces a proj
ect for a provisional, semi-unified
German regime, which would
maintain some liaison between
a newly-formed west German
state and a regime in process of
formation in the Soviet occupa
tion zone.
The plan also Is said to con
tain provisions for exchanging
West marks and Soviet zone cur
rency, and arrangements to stim
ulate trade between the two sec
tions of Germany.
The western powers are ex
pected to urge extension of the
west German constitution to all
of Germany, but will offer semi-
unification if Russia refuses to
put the Soviet zone under the
constitution.
The foreign ministers confer
ence will open Monday after
noon at an hour dependent up
on the arrival of Kussias for
eign minister Vlshlnsky.

UNIVERSITY SINGERS The cream of the University of Oregon's vocal talent is combined in this
40-voice mixed chorus. Called the University Singers, they will perform in Roseburg Tuesday,
May 24, at 1:30 p. m., in the Senior High School auditorium. There will be no admission charged
and the general public is invited. However, a free will offering will be taken to help defray the
expense of the singers, said Principal Alva Laws.
PROCRESS This was all that remained Friday of the once proud Union Oil Service Station at
South Stephens and Lane Streets. The station, built about 1920, was one of the oldest, if not
the oldest, service stations in Roseburg. Constructed of reinforced concrete, it was a sturdy
building, but not modern, and such buildings cannot stand in the way of progress. It had to be
moved to be replaced by you guessed it a new modern super service station, which the com
pany will erect at an estimated $15,000 cost. Hamilton Construction Company has the con
tract for wrecking the old station and constructing the new, double bay, super station with
heated rest rooms and hot water. About 60 days will be required for completion. Uperator Don
Johnson is vacationing meanwhile in Nebraska. (Picture by Paul Jenkins.)

The Columbia River is going to
rise again.
A climb in the Snake today
b"ought a forecast from the
weather bureau that by Wednes
day the Columbia at Vancouver
and Portland ill be back to
within two tenths of a foot of
the crest reached two days ago.
The forecast does not go beyond
Wednesday. The river stage for
