U. S. SAVINGS BONDS SAFE
President Truman Gives
Assurance In Referring To
Government Debt Status
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. LP) President Truman has assured
Rep. Norblad (R--Ore.) that he need not be apprehensive about the
federal government paying off Its savings bonds.
The President also told him that the government is interested
in "prudent debt management."
Norblad had written the President suggesting that savings bonds
could not be paid "from a treasury that is going further into debt."
Mr. Truman's reply said that
"as long as we continue to main
tain high levels of production
and income, there should be no
fear, even remote fear, that we
are not able to properly manage
and even reduce the public debt.
In the fiscal vear 1949 just
ended roughly $5,000,000,000 In
savings bonds matured or wete
redeemed before maturity. As
you indicated, because of the
heavy wartime sales of this type
of obligation, the maturities of
this portion of our public debt
will probably be somewhat high
er in the early years of the next
decade.
"However, neither in 1949 nor
In the near future are savings
bonds likely to account for more
than a small fraction of the to
tal debt operations of the federal
government within any one year.
"With the present volume nf
maturing obligations, it is mani
festly impossible to meet all ma
turities of the public debt from
current tax revenues. Because of i

Nudism At Beach
On Way, Asserts
Mack Sennett
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 19.OP)
Mack Sennett says the feminine
beach costume in 10 years may
be lipstick, rouge and perhaps
a hair ribbon. That's all, brother.
"It isn't necessary to look far
to see that women, if not men,
too, are headed in the direction
of nudism," remarked the long
time comedy wizard of the
screen.
Sennett can bear some of the
responsibility for the trend. His
bathing beauties of the flickers
showed more of the feminine
form than was generally seen in
those days. (Even though his
beauties look now as though they
were clothed by Omar the tent
maker.)
Sennett said he heard women
In New York and even Boston
were wearing sun suits on down
town streets. He died the plung
ing neckline and bare midriff as
more evidence , of the movement
toward nudism.
The movie maker Is no advo
cate of nudism, but says it may
have its points.
"The woman of the hour-glass
figure with the sand in the
wrong end will start checking
the bathroom scales and pass up
a second helping of mashed po
tatoes and gravy."
That goes for men, too, he
added.
"So if you want to be in the
social swim when the summer
of 1959 rolls around," Sennett
concluded, "start watching your
waistline, get an over-all tan and
practice getting along without
pockets."
Forest Fire Fought
In Coos County Area
That large, dark cloud, west
of the city, viewed by many
Roseburg persons last night was
caused by a forest fire at Re
mote, in Coos county.
The Douglas Forest Protective
association said it received a par
tial report Thursday afternoon
that the fire was blazing on San
dy creek, but the extent of the
blaze or nature of control were
not known. Fire fighters from
Camas Valley were dispatched
to help quell the fire.
this, management of the public
debt becomes a matter of Increas
ing significance in our economic
and financial life."
The President added that be
cause of these considerations "it
is imperative that we manage our
current budgets in such a way
as to permit a gradual retirement
of the public debt in years o?
prosperity."
That's why, he said, "I vetoed
on three occasions measures re
ducing taxes at a time when the
economic condition of the coun
try permitted continued retire
ment of the public debt" and
why "I have constantly limited
budget expenditures to the mini
mum amounts necessary . .
He concluded:
"Certainly no safer obligations
exist than U. S. savings bond.
Prudent debt management win
continue to handle all maturing
obligations."

SO Percent Cut
In Fund Asked
Truman Forces, Badly
Beaten, Now Pin Hopes
On Action In Senate
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 UP)
Battered by the House, the ad
ministration's foreign arms aid
program looked to the Senate
today for gentler treatment.
The program was slashed and
hedged in with restrictions before
the House passed it last night
by a vote of 238 to 122.
It marked a bad beating for
President Truman's congression
al forces.
Despite their entreaties, a 50
percent cut was imposed on the
$1,160,990,000 earmarked to help
western European nations resist
possible Soviet aggression. Con
gress could decide to appropriate
the rest of the funds next year.
On top of that, the House de
creed that at least half of the
supplies sent abroad must be car
ried in ships flying tne American
flag. The lawmakers also tight
ened up a prohibition against
using United States troops for
other than non-combatant duty
in connection with the program.
Amendments Defeated
But the House granted the full
$211,370,000 the President want
ed for aid to Greece, and Turkey,
and the $27,640,000 he asked for
Iran, Korea and the Philippines
and it beat back amendments to:
(1) Add $100,000,000 for China
and other southeastern Asia
areas, (2) charge the western
European allotment against the
current II. S. military appropri
ation, (3) withhold funds from
Britain as long as Ireland re
mains partitioned, (4) ban the
use of U. S. troops for any pur
pose under the program, and (5)
require the President to channel
production into areas suffering
from acute unemployment prob
lems. Hope Lies In Senate
The roll call count of the
amendment of Rep. Richards (D
S.C.) to halve the western Eu
ropean fund found 35 members
not accounted for. And among
the 71 Democrats who supported
the amendment were many north
ern members who normally are
found in administration ranks.
The bill's House manager said
privately they doubt if they can
salvage the western European
cut in the Senate, although they
hope they may get part of It
restored.
The Senate has not scheduled
the bill for debate. It still is be
ing considered by the foreign

War Two veterans, announced
that it planned "citizen action to
stop lawlessness, restore Intergri

it will seek appointment of a

Impoverished
Mother Kills
Newborn Baby
CHICAGO, Aug. 19. im A
young mother from Astoria, Ore.,
who first told police that her
six day old daughter was
strangled by a Negro prowlei
was quoted by police early to

Mrs. Skeoch, a former pay
roll clerk at the University of
Chicago, was quoted by Enright

because her husband, Thomas,
21, had been unemployed since
he lost his Job as a dockworker
two weeks ago.
'There was no money coming
In and I couldn't stand seeing
the baby go through what I have
gone through," Enright said the
woman told him.
Enright said Skeoch told him
that he had worked at several
different Jobs within the past
few months and that he is on i
year's probation for theft of a
pen and pencil from the mail
while he was employed as a let
ter carrier.

ADVANTAGES OF ANNEXATION SHOWN
Standards Of Living Improved, Property
Better Protected, City Manager Reminds
Should areas adjacent to Rose
burg annex to the city or should
they organize their own sanitary
districts and provide other need
ed facilities wholly separate from
the city?
City Manager M. W. Slankard,
without intent lo influence or
persuade, has Issued a statement,
as viewed from the city's stand
point, to acquaint the people of
these areas with pertinent facts.
"Most of the people living In
the fringe areas of Roseburg
originally bought their property,
not becaure It was Just outside
the citv so there would be no
city taxes, but because there was
no available room left in the
city on which to build their
homes," said Slankard. "True,
some of the property owners did
buy outside because of supposed
ly high city taxes."
"It has developed," he con
tinued, "that because of the heavy
population increase, desire of the
people of these areas for city
facilities has prompted many to
want to come Into the city.

Samuel Green.
Imperial Wizard. Passes On
ATLANTA, Aug. 19. W) A heart attack last night killed Im
perial Wizard Samuel Green, the fanatical ruler of the Ku Klux
Klan.
There was no doubt, however, that the Klan would carry on
though minus the energetic leadership of the thin, 59-year-old phy
sician with the Hitler-like mustache.
A leading Ku Kluxer here said
the board of directors probably
would meet next week to name a
successor to the rasp-voiced little
man who breathed a spirit of re
surgency into the "Invisible Em
pire." Though Dr. Green had been a
Klansman for 31 years, his family
asked that the fact be omitted
from his obituary.
At the time of his death. Dr.
Green's passion for preaching
"white supremacy" had made him
a target for aroused newspaper
editors and public officials.
They feared the Klan might ride
to power again on predudice, as
it did in the decade of the 1920's,
and become once more a powerful
political factor in the south.
Angrily and bitterly, Dr. Green
declared he was being "perse
cuted." As a pattern of violence spread
over the south In which masked
men figured In cross burnings,
beatings and threats, Dr. Green
relied more and more upon a stock
denial.
All these acts he ascribed with
out fall to "bolshevik" groups
over which he had no control.
He promised that any Klans
man found guilty of violating the
law would be banished. To offset
growing public Indignation, he or
dered the Klan unmasked Just 10
aays prior to nts death.
