Distributed In Roseburg to Lifi - SI DILLARD MOTOR CO. Your Dodge Dealer Reinstatement Given Mexican League Jumpers WASHINGTON, June 6. UP) Baseball Commissioner 'A. B. Chandler's abrupt reinstatement of the Mexican League jumpers was received with mixed reaction last night and this morning. Chandler extended an offer yesterday to major and minor league players who skipped to Jorge Pasquel's outlawed Mexi can League three years ago to reinstate them in organized base ball if they so desire. They had been barred by the Commissioner in 1946 for five years. After accepting large bo nuses and salaries to play below the border. Many of them now are playing on Canadian teams since Pasquel stopped offering the huge inducements. The Kirious owners and man agers who may help themselves to a pennant with a : .instated Mexican Leaguer were naturally delighted with the move. Those who stand to gain nothing had nothing to say. The players who were reached expressed extreme delight over the action. However, it was learned that the three players who now have suits pending in New York's federal district court for damages suffered by Chan dler's suspension order plan to continue their actions. Former New York Giant out fielder Danny Gardella is suing organifed baseball for $250,000 and two former St. Louis Cardi nal pitchers Max Lanier and Fred Martin are suing for $2, 500,000 from the Cards. Both suits ' are based on the legality of baseballs "famed" reserve clause. This clause in effect makes the player the property of his club until he is released or traded. Chandler, in a formal state ment, said his action was taken at this time. "because, after three years it seems a fair thing to dor and because the threat of compulsion by court action now has been removed by recent unanimous decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in the Martin and Lanier and Gardella cases." The court recently refused to order the players reinstated. Neuner Rules On School District Bond Question SALEM, Ore., June 6.

Si . iir::r;' fMPA til "BAR OF JUNE SIXTH" In honor of the American paratroopers who liberated the town of St. Marie-du-Mont on D-Day in 1944, barkeep Paul Patrix re-named his establishment the "Bar of June 6th." Here, school children pause to read posters in the bar's win dows. Five years after the greatest military invasion in all history, St. Marie-du-Mont like all cities and towns in Normandy ts re turning to normal again. Churchill's Futile Urge For D-Day In Balkans Recalled On Anniversary Of Allies' Invasion Of Normandy By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst This fifth anniversary of D-day, when the battle of Europe was inaugurated with a mighty invasion of Normandy by allied forces, recalls the striking differences of opinion which existed in Supreme circles' over where the assault should be delivered. Premier Stalin had been urging an invasion of Prance by the Western Allies to ease pressure on the Russian front. However, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was chilly to this propo sition. He favored an invasion -all right, but his mind was set on stabbing at what he described in his picturesque language as the "soft underbelly of Europe," meaning in the Mediterranean area. Churchill presented this view on its military merits, but there were many observers at the time who felt that he might be looking at the situation as much, or more, from the political angle than from the military. The Allied in vasion of Italy already was under way, and if the Western Powers drove up into the Balkans, they would have possession of this strategic territory of Eastern Europe when the war ended. The implication of such an operation are clear enough. The Western Allies would have come iiewspape Phone 100 to dominate Southeastern Europe and would have swung into Cen tral feurope on the lelt flank of ihe Russians. Thus, instead of giv ing the Muscovites a free hand in all Eastern Europe, the other powers would have been there with their armies when the armis tice came. What Might Have Been That of course would have meant a complete change In sub sequent events. Russia would not have overrun all Eastern Europe, and established a Communist em pire with its eastern frontier run ning through the heart of Europe, from Stettin on the north to the Adriatic on the south. On that basis there probably wouldn't have been a "cold war. Many of the nations which be came unwilling satellites of Mos co 7 would have remained free and would have cast their politi cal lots with the Western De-, mocracles.

UP) Oregon State College graduates of this year's class were warned last night against over-emphasizing security. Dean G. W. Gleeson told the first of three commencement au diences that campus surveys indi cate the upper classmen were anx ious lor jobs with economic se curity. He said they would be sacrificing otherwise "unlimited opportunities" If they emphasized security. Bachelor if science degrees were presented 412 engineers in the group graduating last night. Other groups this morning and afternoon bring the total degree awards to 1542 for 1535 Individ uals this spring. Gov, Douglas McKay was pres ent for the weekend ceremonies. His daughter, Mary Lou, receives a degree in floral culture. The governor noted that It was his first opportunity to attend a col lege commencement. He had hur ried off to the Army in 1917 with out waiting to receive his O. S. C. degree at the commencement pro gram. Dr. Cecil F. Riston, Seattle Unt- many and Austria would long ago have been Ironed out and they now would be contributing to the rehabilitation of Europe. Had all this happened, the United Nations might have been able to function efficiently, in stead of being hamstrung by the stride between the Soviet bloc and the Democracies. We should have been far closer to the "one world" ideal than we are n6w. Did Churchill have something of this sort in mind when he ar giidd for making the attack on the "soft underbelly?'" It would be interesting to hear from him on that point. Don't Miss Modern I VI 1 for Of Mattresses and Box Springs 2 for, 2 for 3950 4950 mm 222 W.
