Stephens St. He will be affiliated with the Grant Business college as an Instructor In business ad ministration.

SLABWOOD In 12-1 6 and 24 In. lengths OLD GROWTH FIR DOUBLE LOADS WESTERN BATTERY SEPARATOR Pnons 691 tened, he related. People began emerging with bleeding wounds. He got up from where he lay on the ground and ran up the hill for a panoramic view of the city. He could not comprehend the devastation he saw. The whole city seemed flatten ed. Such destruction under ordi nary bombing would have taken a whole squadron of planes all day. This took place In a moment. The Rev. Mr. Tanlmoto said he saw Injured people with no expression of emotion In their faces. The shock had been too great. Cries of help came from thoie buried Inside the leveled buildings. Everywhere roads were block ed by fire. Mr. Tanlmoto had to make extensive detours in order to reach the part of the city where his mission was located. There he worked for days, con tinuously giving aid to the injured people. "I was exceptional In not being Injured, he said. Radiation Also Fatal Within a quarter-mile of the center of the explosion, people were Instantly killed. Within half-mile, people were burled un der rubble or burned to aeatn. Escapees gradually died from the effects of radiation. Even country people, who visit' ed the scene of the bombing weeks later, were affected by ra diation. Doctors and nurses who came In contact with the victims did not escape. Casualties numbered 200.000 of the city of 400,000. said Rev. Mr. Tanlmoto. Japanese Not Bitter The people of Hiroshima now wlsn to commemorate mis ca tastrophe as "world peace day" each year, with the prayer that no such experience will ever be fall any city anywhere again, he said. A shrine of peace at Hiroshima could be supported by the gov ernment, and In the United Stales it could be sponsored by such groups as the Methodist or ganization for world peace. Prominent Americans could also lend their aid. Rev. Mr. Tanlmoto declared the Japanese are not "bitter" about the attack. "We were re sponsible," he said. "Our nation started the war first." Out of the bombing came a realization of spiritual needs and there has been a Christian awakening in Japan, he added. "Many thou sands of Bibles are needed." As a military target, Hiroshi ma had four major var indus tries, Mr. Tanlmoto commented. These were located In the sub urbs and, Ironically, were not harmed In the attack. The boyhood home of General Dwlght D. Elsenhower at Abilene, Kansas was dedicated as a na tional shrine June 22, 19-17. s - Visiting Traffic Violators Given Courtesy Cards Out-of-state minor traffic vio lators, starting t'Klay, instead of being cited Into court, will be pre sented a visitor's courtesy card, Chief of Police Calvin Balrd an nounced. Special traffic courtesy tickets, as an experimental measure, have been printed by authority of the city council. They state: "This is not a sum mon: but merely to call your at tention to the fact that you have violated our traffic code in the following manner. We will appre ciate your cooperation and Invite you to visit Roseburg again." It has been pointed out that too freauently a town receives un favorable DUblicity by presenting out-of-state visitors with tickets for minor Infractions, and many neglect to pay. The theory back of the courtesy card is to obtain the motorist's cooperation with a reminder, rather than a fine, and by such means encourage tourists to visit Roseburg. Oakland Youth Fined On Shirt-Stealing Charge David Crockett Lee, 19, of Oak land, was fined $23 on a petty larceny charge. Justice of Peace A. J. Geddes reported. The youth, charged with taking a shirt from Joe Richard's Men's store, was arrested by city police. He was also required to pay for the shirt. Defense Chief Urges Foreign Arms Aid (Continued From Page One) Choice Of Clark For High Court Approved (Continued From Page One) that he Is ready to take the court post. Religion Ignored In his announcement of choos ing Clark and McGrath for the new appointments, President Tru man made It clear that he does not believe that a man's religious faith has any place In considera tion of appointments for member ship on the high court, as long as the appointee Is qualified for the work. Clark, a Texan, is a Presbyter Ian. The late Justice Frank Murphy was the only Roman Catholic on the high bench. McGrath Is a Roman Catholic. In connection with the selec tion of a Protestant for the court post, the President was asked if he had any feeling that the ma jor minority groups should be represented on the high bench. He said It made no difference whether a man was a Catholic, Baptist or Jewish, and the ques tion of faith had nothing to do with his qualification. Confirmation Assured Despite his position as Demo cratic national chairman, Mc Grath seemed likely to escape any serious criticism In Senate consideration of his appointment. Whether Clark would get by without jome harsh words re mained In doubt. Chairman Mo- Carran (D-Nev) of the Senate Judiciary committee, which will handle both nominations, has had some recent brushes with the attorney general. Senator Kern ik-moi criticized Clark in the 80th Congress for what he said was the attorney Renerals failure to prosecute vigorously Kansas City vote fraud cases. Kem wouldn't comment on the possibility that he would renew his attack on the present cabinet member. In any case, Indications were the Senate will confirm the ap pointments within a relatively short time after they are sent to It officially. Senator Kerr (D-Oklat called them "fine appointments." "Both of them are good men," agreed Senator Sparkman (D-Alal.

"I think it would he a splendid laea u we canea in Mr. Baruch, said Rep. Jackson (R.-Calif.), "Mr. Baruch recently toured Eu rope and looked into the general situation there and should be very helpful." While Baruch's position with respect to the arms aid proposal for Atlantic pact and other na tions is not known, he has been critical of the wav some foreign countries have been handling the economic aid given them under ine marsnau plan. Johnson was followed at the hearing by General Omar Brad ley, who declared that the rise of "a new aggressor bent upon ab sorbing the exhausted victors" of World War II has "given a sense ot urgency to our plans ' for de fense. The army chief of staff told the committee: "In the place of the vanquished foe has arisen this new aggres sor, bent upon absorbing the ex hausted victors. The spectre of another would-be master attempt ing to enslave our presently al lied peoples has given a sense of urgency to our plans." He did not Identify the new "aggressor." As the army leader testified a plane waited to take him and other members of the Joint chiefs ot stair to turope to start putting that plan Into working form.

House speaker Rayburn, a fel low lexan, said Clark would make a "great Justice." On the Republican side, leader Wherry, of Nebraska, said he believes both will be confirmed. Similarly, Senator Jenner (R- ind) said he knows of no sena torial objection either. School District Appeals Award Favoring Boyle Notice of appeal to the supreme court or Oregon has been filed by Canyonville School district 8, defendant in a suit in which Judgment was awarded favoring the plaintiff, Lawrence J. Boyle. A trial Jury June 3 awarded Boyle $4,200, plus $42.60 costs, as the amount of his contract for the 1948-49 fiscal year. Boyle, dismissed by the district board, had filed suit to collect his sal ary. The appeal has been filed on the grounds, alleged by the de fense, that Circuit Judge Call E. Wlmberly instructed the Jury that the dismissal was wrong ful, because the board did not give Boyle a hearing, which the iaw requires. The defense takes exception, claiming that according to the facts and pleadings set forth in the new and separate answer of the defendant, there was a breach of contract and in this case the hearing was not necessary. "Five Percent" Probe Hears Rapid Talker (Continued From Page One) to find out whether any of com mission men have attempted to influence government officials in the awarding of contracts, as has been alleged. "Never a Percenter" A reporter asked: "Mr. Mara gon are you a five percenter or a 50 percenter?" He shot back: "I have never been a five percenter, certainly never a 50 percenter or any oth er kind of a percenter." Maragon also was asked whether he Is a good friend of General Vaughan, the Presi dent's aide. "Undoubtedly General Vaugh an has thousands of good friends," Maragon replied. "I am fortunate enough to be one of them." He refused to say whether Vaughan was mentioned at the secret session. Vaughan has said he knows about 300 persons in Washington In contract opera tions.
