This is true, even though: Safeway agreed to the terms of the new contract along with other Roseburg employers. Safeway has notified the meatcutters Union that it is ready and willing to sign the new contract with no strings attached. Thus far, however, the Union business agent has refused to submit the contract for Safeway signature. And without this piece of paper properly signed we cannot sell meat to our Roseburg customers. We regret that this elusive piece of paper is preventing our customers from getting guaranteed Safeway meats in Rose burg, at Safeway's usual low prices. We are sorry that we have no way of knowing when the whims of this one man will release the new contract for sig nature so that this one final detail of reopening the Safeway meat section can be completed.

P) A gov ernment economist and a visiting college professor both gave words of advice here to American busi ness. Competition must be kept alive, Dr. Corwln Edwards, chief eco nomist for the Federal Trade Commission, urged. Depressions should not be con sidered Inevitable, said Dr. Maine Goldschmidt, professor of politi cal science at Reed College, Port land. Dr. Edwards, a student on busi ness cartels and combines who headed a 1946 mission to Japan to study ways of smashing the in terlocking family trusts which ruled Japanese economy, said: "My personal view is that our freatest prohlem in the United tates is whether we will drift until we have a concentration of economic power such as that which existed in Japan. "Right now, 113 manufacturing companies collectively have one half the corporate wealth in American manufacturing. . . . Family monopolies may become a future problem in the United States, as they were In Japan." His report on Japan has been used in policy making by General MacArthur's staff. Dr. Goldschmidt, who has spe cialized in political theory and studies of revolutions, criticized what he called Americans' fatal ism about depressions. The atti tude brings depressions, he said. "We have enough intelligence and knowledge' now to avoid de pressions or at least minimize their effects," he commented. "The last depression gave rise to Hitler." . Effective control of the busi ness cycle, to keep the American economy on an even keel, is the countrys key problem, he asserted. Sutherlin Voters Pass Special City Tax Levy Sutherlin's 1949-50 city budget was passed by the voters last week with a comfortable margin in a specinl election held at the City Hall. Very little interest was shown in this election as very few people turned out to vote.

That request is heard every day in social security offices through out the United States, according to Paul F. Johr.snn, manager of the Old-Age and Survivors Insur ance office In Eugene, whose rep resentative was at the Oregon State Employment Service Office in Roseburg Tuesday. "There is no burial benefit spe cifically provided In the Social Security Act," Johnson said. "However, a lump sum death pay. ment is made upon the death of an Insured wage earner, provided no one is entitled to a monthly benefit for the month In which the wage earner dies. The widow or widower, if living with the wage earner at the time of his death, may qualify for the lump sum payment. If there is no widow or widower, the person who pays the burial expenses may re ceive the lump-sum. A claim must be filed within two years after the death of the wage earner." Monthly death benefits are paid to widows over the age of 65; to children under the age of 18; to widows with young chil dren, and to dependent parents over the age of 65. Recognizing that survivors or dinarily need extra funds to pay last illness and burial expenses, the Social Security Administra' tlon has recommended that lump sum payments be made in all death cases, even if monthly bene fits are also payable, Johnson said.
