PARK BOARD ACTIVITIES
Annual Report Details
Work On Playgrounds,
Pool, Cut In New Budget
Formation of a park department and selection of a park super
intendent, together with the opening of the municipal swimming
pool headed the list of Roseburg park commission accomplishments
in the annual report issued by Chairman Percy Croft.
Harry Isbell was chosen to head
the city's new park dtpartment,
and tools and a truck were pur
chased in order to put the depart
ment into operation.
Operating on a budget of 15,
000 for the 194849 fiscal year, the
department saw the city's new
swimming pool opened to the pub
lic after the commission had
studied plans and specifications
for dressing rooms, and other as
pects of operating pool.
Working in conjunction with
the Elks lodge, the park commis
sion constructed a wading pool at
the swimming pool site and ear

wading pool and playground
equipment installed on Commer
Some time late tomorrow the
Senate will vote on the 12-nation
pact. The big issue is whether
critics will be able to write in a
declaration that the treaty does
not carry any obligation for the
United States to furnish arms
to 'the other signers.- :
Senate leaders said the Senate
is certain to turn down efforts
to write that in.
Baldwin argued to the Senate
that any major conflict in the
future between two other na
tions would involve the United
States.
"We know the hope of security
and peace by isolation is futile
and dead," he said. He went on
to say the pact is not a threat
to any nation "unless that na
tion chooses to cast itself in the
role of aggressor."
As for the risks involved in
the treaty, Baldwin said that by
failing to join the alliance
the United States would run the
risk "of standing alone in the
world."
Chairman Connally (D-Tex) of
the Foreign Relations committee
told reporters that pact foes "do
not have a chance", of winning
their fight.
He was backed by ' majority
leader Lucas of Illinois and other
pact supporters who want no
reservations to the pledge of
mutual aid and assistance to re
sist armed attack.
The Senate is due to begin
voting tomorrow on reservations
to the treaty. The final vote on
ratification will follow. : .

U. S. "Force" Assures World Peace
Pledge Given
Struggling
Democracies
Broken Promises Of
Russia Referred To
In President's Speech
CHICAGO, July 20 UB
struggling democracies naa pres
ident Truman's assurance today
of United States leadership to
provide "enough force" to main
tain peace in a world he said is
endangered by broken Russian
promises.
With the United Nations chart
er signed and the collapse of Ja
pan, he said, the peace for which
the world had prayed "didn't
come it didn't come.".
"For we found that we had an
ally, an ally whose habit it is,
and whose habit it has been since
1917, to make agreements for the
purpose of breaking them," he
declared.
"Now it is absolutely neces
sary that we assume the leader
ship among the democracies of
the world, so that there will be
enough force in this world to
maintain the peace."
Mr. Truman's remarks were
delivered ctt the cuff at a Shrine
dinner at the Stevens hotel last
night following a formal address
earlier in the day at Soldier field.
At the big lake front stadium he
reported apparently increasing
"tensions and conflicts" behind
the iron curtain.
The dinner address, his third of
the day, climaxed his attendance
at the Diamond jubilee session
of the Shriners of North America.
Talking to 2000 nobles and their
ladies, he said if the United
States had stayed out of the
United Nations "the only thing
left for us would be to crawl into
our shells and prepare for. the
destruction of the world, and our
selves with it."
Expenditures Touched On
Contrasting current expendi
tures with those of the war, Mr.
Truman said the 1946 fiscal year
budget called for spending $103,
000,000,000. He said that the month after
Japan folded up in September,
1945, he canceled $60,000,000,000
in war contracts "and made a
recession in expenditures of $63,
000,000,000. He thought spending could be
brought down to "where we could
stand it," he said, and "then
came the cold war" and the Eu
ropean recovery program.
All he has asked, he said, Is
that the country spend 'ess than
one-third of the $60,000,000,000 In
war contracts "and revive Eu
rope and Asia for peace."
"Which is better," he asked,
"to spend three or four or five
billions a year for peace or to
spend a hundred billion dollars a
year for another war?"
And he again served this warn
ing: , '
"We are going to maintain the
peace and make the United Na
tions a going and militant organ
ization for the welfare of the
world as a whole."

None of the party was' killed

The other victims were Miss
Dee David, 25, and Edward (Ned

as he was entering his apart

police vice tieups which already
has resulted In a wholesale shake-

Only yesterday Attorney Gen
