A complete financial state
ment for the six months ending
March 31 was submitted for the
council's perusal.
The franchise would not be ex
clusive, and the rates would be
subject to revision at any time
at the discretion of the council.
Rent Decontrol Requested
Request that the council take
action to eventually bring about
a decontrol of rents in the city
will be studied by a special coun
cil committee.
A petition, submitted by Eddie
Kolhagen, Dr. B. R. Shoemaker
and John Todd, asked that de
control action be recommended
to the governor. They pointed out
that housing Is no longer criti
cal, that rentals arc now on a
competitive basis, and that there
now exists an unfair rental scale
under control.
The special committee, headed
by Mayor Albert G. Flegel, In
cludes Jack Hart, Chester Mor
gan, Percy Croft and Frank Ash
ley. Two other petitions were sub
mitted for council consideration.
Mrs. Thomas Coatcs, represent
ing the W.C.T.U., submitted a nc-
tition asking the council to pro
hibit the sale of Intoxicating bev
erages on Sunday. The petition
was referred to the police com
mittee for study and report.
The other petition asks that
sound trucks be banned from the
city streets. H. O. Pargeter and
A. N. Orcutt, representing 16 pe
titioners, including the names of
several prominent attorneys,
claimed the sound truck inter
rupts business transactions, par
ticularly telephone conversations.
They would favor continuing use
of a sound truck for civic func
tions, such as rodeos. The peti
tion was referred to the police
committee for study and report.
Lockwood Motors' bid for a
new police car was accepted. The
city would pay a balance of
$643.41 on a trade-In of the car
now In use. Purchase of a motor
cycle from Joe's Harlcy David
son agency tor $733.90 was also
authorized.
The council accepted the police
committee's recommend a

first civil . service law ana naa
overhauled the penal and correc
tions system.
As mayor of Detroit at the
depth of the economic depression
of the early '30s Murphy asserted
that a great business depression
should be as much a federal gov
ernment responsibility as an
earthquake.
In one year he spent $14,000,
000 to feed and house the city's
jobless.
Murphy resigned In the spring
of 1933 to accept appointment as
governor-general of the Philip
pines and remained In that of
fice and as U.S. High Commis
sioner until 1936. In that year
President Roosevelt had him re
turn to the United States so he
could run for governor of Michi
gan. Soon after his defeat for re
election as governor, Murphy
was appointed U.S. Attorney Gen
eral by President Roosevelt. That
was in 1939. Roosevelt and Mur
phy had become close friends
while wrestling with relief prob
lems during the depression.
Scandals Exposed
During the year he served as
attorney general, political scan
dals were exposed in Louisiana,

ic political boss of Kansas City,
was sent to prison ior income
tax evasion. Murphy's last act
as attorney general was to deny
that he had "for political pur
poses suppressed possible pro
ceedings" against others.
When President Roosevelt

Court bench at the beginning of
1940, Murpny, wun cnaracuH isuc
modesty, said he thought others

became a member of the tribu
nal without ever arguing a
case before It.
On the high court bench, Jus
tice Murphy has a mystical, al
most priestly mien. Extremely
mild-mannered, his benign atti
tude toward attorneys was em
nhasized by his softly-spoken
questions.
But his opinions were vigorous.
His private motto was: "Speak
softly and hit hard."
The first thing friends usually
mentioned in describing the red
haired, bachelor Murphy was his
piety. He attended mass regular

Metal Workers
On Job Despite
Strike At Eugene
Although union sheet metal
workers in Douglas, Coos and
Lane counties were reported
from Eugene to have walked off
their Jobs Monday, they were still
at work here today.
There was a breakdown of con
tract negotiations at Eugene, ac
cording to the Oregon Journal.
The dispute centers around the
basic work and payment for over
time work.
About 40 workers in the three
counties are said to be asking, a
25-cent-an-hour raise. They were
paid $2.12 1-2 an hour and double
time for overtime. In the spring
they sought a new contract which
would provide a 25-cent increase
and retention of the double-time
provision for overtime.
Employers countered with a
2 1-2-cent offer and time-and-a-half
for overtime.
Ralph Clarke, financial secre
tary of the Sheet Metal Workers
union, Local 332, was quoted as
saying this would mean a cut in
the average take-home pay. He
said the union had served notice
of a new contract 90 days before
the old contract expired May 31.
He said the union and the Master
Sheet Metal Workers association
had been negotiating since June
1, with "no success whatever."
George Miller, spokesman for
the Master Sheet Metal Workers
association, was quoted as saying
his group had met with the union
and found common ground. How
ever, when his group took the
agreement back to the Affiliated
Contractors' association, It was
told to "sit tight."
Check of sheet metal shops In
Roseburg this morning revealed
that union sheet metal workers
here have received no official
word of the reported strike and
are continuing on their jobs.

timated at $100,000.
Green was credited with sav
ing two boxcars by setting them
rolling down a spur grade out of
the fire zone. He used a crow-bar
under the wheels. One was load
ed with lumber and the second
was empty. All were Union Pa
cific railroad rolling stock.
Firemen were joined by scores
of citizens on the hose lines and
grass fires. They first abandoned
hope of saving the co-op struc
tures and attempted to save the
Interior warehouse. Then they
played the hose lines on the ad
joining business buildings and the
oil and gasoline tanks.
Telephone and power service
was interrupted briefly. The
main phone circuit between Ar
lington and here was burned out.
Emergency service was restored
during tho night on a rural line.
Fire equipment from Lexing
ton, McNary and Ordnance later
joined the volunteers here. Mo
bile water tankers of the U.S.
Forest Service and a few ranches
were used to augment the city's
water supply.

Sought By Pact's Foes
WASHINGTON. July 19. UP)
Leading foes of the North At
lantic pact joined lorces today in
a new malor move to write a no-
arms commitment into the 12-na-
tion treaty.
This last-minute maneuver is
exDected to close the ranks of the
loosely-held opposition and offer
the greatest threat to the admin
istration's fight to keep all reser
vations out of the pact.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) and Sen
ator Watkins (R-Utah) agreed on
a revised reservation which will
be put to a vote Thursday.
It says: "Nothing contained In
article three (of the treaty) cre

the part ot the united states to
furnish arms, armaments, mili
tary, naval or air equipment or
supplies to any other party or par
