Reds In Asia Offer Problem For Congress (Continued From Page One) nated from the Nationalist gov ernment it could serve as a frame work to unify a fight against the communists. There was no doubt he was suggesting that Chiang Kai-shek severely criticized in the state department report, make his exit. Senator Knowland (R-Calif) scolded the department for what he said was an effort stretching over a period of years to force Chiang's government to take in communists. Senator McCarran D-Nev) said that if the white paper policies are continued "it will be only a short time until all Asia is under communist control, which will ex tend to Japan and the Phillip pines." Dept. "Excuse" Seen Bridges charged that the white paper "is a complete effort of the state department to scuttle the Nationalist government and anti- communist lorces in China." Even Senator Dulles R-NY). who cooperates with the admin istration on bipartisan foreign policies, looked upon the white paper as "an attempt to explain and excuse past failures." 'The American people are not interested in that," he said. "They want future success in stopping communism In Asia. Fortunately, the state department Is seeking a new policy and I very much hope it succeeds." On the other side. Senator John son U-Col) said he wanted to make the most of one of the few oppor tunities he has had to cheer for state department foreign policy decisions. "To intervene In the civil war in China would be reckless be yond description," he declared. 'The state department In this In stance is being realistic and sen sible. Elsewhere In congress: Arms for Europe program Chairman Kee (D-WVA) of the house foreign affairs committee was trying to forestall demands for a 50 per cent lash in the 51.- 450,000,000 fund.

Foreign aid The $5,797,724,000 bill comes before the Senate Mon day for what is expected to be a favorable vote. If this occurs, the bill goes to a Joint Senate-House conference.

He said he felt It his "duty to stale in simple terms tne posi tion that Catholics together with many Americans of other reli gious beliefs are upholding." No "Anti-Catholic" Bias Mrs. Roosevelt, declaring anew that she has "no anti-Catholic bias," said: "I am firm In my belief that there shall be no pressure brought to Dear oy any cnurcn against the proper operations of the gov ernment and that there shall oe recognition of the fact that all citizens may express their views treeiy on questions ol public in terest." The controversy between the cardinal and Mrs. Roosevelt flar ed up two weeks ago when the cardinal assailed her for views the expressed in her dally news paper column. He said the widow of the late President was guilty of "anti- Catholicism .... unworthy of an American mother," and said he" stand coold item only from misinformation, Ignorance or prejudice." Replying, Mrs. Roosevelt denied any bias, declared that public support of religious -controlled scnoois naa always proved an "unhappy" arrangement, and said she would continue to speak out for what she thought right. At issue in the dispute is a hill sponsored by Rep. Graham Barden (D-N.C). It would pro vide $300,000,000 federal aid for general expenses of public schools, with private and church schools excluded. The bill, still not acted upon, would provide no funds for health, lunch or other auxiliary programs either for public or parochial schools. Another bill already passed by the Senate would leave the dis tribution of federal funds up to the states. The Weather U. S.

Revised. Gains Support WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-4JPi Growing Republican support for the administration's modified minimum wage bill was claimed today by Chairman Lesinski ID Mich.) of the House Labor com mittee. He credited the swing to a con centrated campaign by textile un ion representatives during the past few days to persuade New England congressmen to vote for a 75-cent minimum wage. "Some of our Republican friends are beginning to see the light," Lesinski said. 'They are discovering that low wages can cut two ways. "They certainly will vote for the bill If they want to keep their textile mills from moving south. The mills are going down there for low wages, and the only rem edy is a higher minimum wage." The administration originally proposed boosting the national minimum from 40 cents an hour to 75, and broadening the wage hour law to take in about 5,000. 000 workers not now covered. The new bill, a compromise, car ries me 70-cent minimum, but would make only minor changes in coverage. Funeral Services Set For David G. Swanson Funeral wrvieea fnr nnisiri 1A.

Hawaiian Legislature Votes To Seize Docks (Continued from page 1) would be arbitration by a board of nawan ousinessmen not con nected with any of the "Big Five" sugar agencies. ine union repeatedly has de manded arbitration. Employers nave rejected It, contending they should not be bound in advance to accept an award on wages by third parties who have no finan cial responsibility. "Sig Five" Is Assailed Bridges referred to the "Big Five" as "feudal lords" and said their attorney James Blaisdell "got the horse laugh" In Wash ington last month when he told a Senate committee there was no Big Five. An important Issue in a settle ment, the longshore leader said, should be an extension of the present contract for one or two years. "The union doesn't want to go through another strike next spring," he said. The contract ex pires May 1. The present strike grew out of the wage reopening clause. Bridges said he came here to determine whether it is "worth while to continue or, If necessary, to compromise" the strike. He said he would remain as long as he felt he could be of any use in making a settlement. Non-Red Oath Demanded He said he felt the ILWU has a responsibility to continue the strike until wage cuts imposed on unorganized workers are re stored. Such cuts, he said, axe not justified economically. Some companies have cut wages and laid off workers on grounds that business has fallen off in the dock strike paralysis. The final version of the legis lature's bill retains the House provision requiring a loyalty for citizens and a non-Communist oath for aliens employed in the government's dock operation. The House also won revision of the Senate plan to charge an operating fee of 1 per cent on the companies' gross revenues. The final draft gives the com panies the option of taking a frofit less than one-fourth of per cent on gross revenues or being paid for rental on their equipment. Rental would be de cided by a court. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. I (IP) The government is willing to postpone its civil suit against longshore leader Harry Bridges. The suit, to cancel Bridges' cit izenship on civil grounds, was filed simultaneously with his in dictment May 25 by the federal grand jury on charges of perjury i and conspiracy in connection with his naturalization in 1945. i Asistant U. S. Attorney Robert , McMillan said yesterday if the ; government were forced to an swer the 47 interrogatories asked by the longshore leader's attor neys in connection with the civil action it would hamper and ob-! struct the criminal case against Bridges. He added that there would be no need to proceed with the civil suit II Bridges were convicted in the criminal action. JUSTICE COURT CASES Justice of the Peace A. J.

July was "a very near normal" month, according to a report from Thomas A. Hill Jr., official in charge of the Rose burg weather bureau. Only five days did tempera tures reach 90 degrees or above, ; with the year's maximum read-: Ing, an even 100, recorded July ; 14. Average maximum tempera ture was 82.1 and average mini- i mum was 53.9, Just slightly above average for any July in both cases. The 100 degree reading falls to compare with the record 109 1 degrees recorded here three years ago, July 20, 1946. To the average Roseburg resl-' dent and nearby farmer, July ; was a rainless month, but the weather bureau recorded four days when a "trace" appeared. However the total for those four days amounted to less than .01 of an inch. Although the month's rainfall was J2 of an inch below normal, Hill said this was not exceptional since nine previous months of July have recorded no rain what ever and six other Julys have had only a trace.
