2 The, Newi-Review, Roseburg, Former Navy, Marine Corps Men Being Organized Here Into Precision Drill Company Legion Voices Demands At National Convention (Continued From Page One) agency." "Moves to dilute veterans pref erence in government employ ment." Younger Vett T Front Elsewhere in hli report, Brown railed attention to the fact that "Veterans of World War two shot ahead" in Legion affairs last year. "A majority of the 1949 depart ment conventions," Brown said, "elected younger men as state commanders for 1950 and World War two post commanders be came almost the rule on the com munity level." The convention Is expected to pick a World War two veteran to succeed Brown as commander. Brown called on the Legion to "stand rigidly lor a policy oi re tention of our atomic bomb se crets until such time when these can be turned over with full con fidence to the United Nations." And. he said, the Legion must continue its fight "to eliminate the U. N.) veto in all matters in volvine aggression, in the liml tatlon of world arms production and In the establishment of an adequate and effective world peace force." First resolution adopted by the convention yesterday calls on Congress to enact "maximum so cial security credit for active time served in the armed forces dur ing the second World war. The resolution, presented bv the Michigan department, asks maximum wage credits of $250 per month. U. S. Power Assures Peace, Johnson Says (Continued trom Page One) every day stronger and more emcient. "Moreover they are rounding themselves Into one team a team that will make all enemies top, look and listen before at tempting aggression across our tracks." Praising the Legion as the champion of preparedness at the end of World War I, Johnson said it now is America's purpose to convert the department of de fense in effect into a department of peace, "with your coopera tion." , Despite the high cost of our armed forces, Johnson said, a cut of $1,000,000,000 in expenditures Is the goal set for this year. This savmg, he told the -Legionnaires, will be effected by elimi nating waste and 'duplication through unification of the armed forces.

Minimum Wage Boost Nears Senate Vote (Continued From Page One) wrote the wage and hour law a decade ago. Senator Taft agreed. He said the amendment would exclude some workers from coverage on- lv because administrators of the law had "steadily encroached" on the exemptions originally intend ed. Under the amendment, retail and service establishments would be exempted from the wage-hour law under most conditions if more than 50 percent of their annual volume of sales were made within the state where they are located.

IAP Wirephotol Mileage Death Rate First Half Of '49 Decreases CHICAGO, Aug. 31 The mileage death rate for the na tion's traffic accidents in the first half of 1949 hit an all-time low of 6.8. This milestone In traffic acci dent prevention was reported to day by the National Safety coun cil. It was the first time in the history of such record keeping that the half-year rate has been less than seven deatha for each 100,000,000 milea of vehicular travel. 'The stoal set by President Tru man in 1946 is In sight," the council president, Ned H. Dear born, said in a statement, ai that time he asked that the mile age death rate, then about 12 deaths per 100,000,000 miles, oe cut In half." The toll of actual deaths, how ever, rose slightly In July. The annual fight to make a gain m lives saved remains close. For July the death toll was 2,850, an increase of 2 percent from the 2.790 July toll oi 194H. July, January and April are the only months this year to record more deatns man last. At the end of seven months the 1949 death toll was 16,540, still one percent under the 16,700 count at the end of July, 1948. Of the 474 reporting cities, 119 had perfect records of no deaths at the end of seven months of 1949. Only New Bedford, Mass., had a population exceeding 100,- 000. For July alone the three lead ing no-death cities were Cincin nati, population 479.300: Birming ham, 296,300 and Providence, 271,500.

Hews Views By SHERMAN PLIMPTON The "now you see It, now you don't" mystery of the age is adding chapters faster than a dowager can focus her lorg nette. We speak of the mystery of the "flying saucers." Federal agents uncovered two flying disks in a Maryland barn, and found thev were demonstrated In Washington in 19.56. The In ventor disappeared in 1941 . . . and for all we know he's been turning out disks like hot rakes ever since. Then the Air Force got into the act and said It wasn't possible. Sounds like the fellow who saw the giraffe and gulped. 'There ain't no such animal." This still leaves everything up in the air. We will be happy to put Mrs. W. E.

I Refreshment and Movies Go Hand-in-Hand r V r onus UNOt auraoerrr or Coca Cola Bottling wet Identity Sought Of Fisherman In Rescue Of Boy Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gilker son, Melrose road, and Mrs. Don Carlson, Roseburg would like to know the identity of the Califor nia fisherman who helped rescue two small children from the Um qua river Monday afternoon. Mrs. Carlson said today that eight-year-old Dennis Gilkerson owed his life to the unidentified fisherman. She said that she was alone with seven children swimming at the river's forks. She said that when the Gilkerson boy and Mike Baylor, age 7, son ot Mr. and Mrs. Russ Baylor, Broccoli lane, found themselves in deep water, they began struggling to reach shore. Mrs. Carlson, who hadn't swum in 20 years, went to the rescue and managed with great difficul ty to bring in the Baylor boy. She stated she went down with the boy twice, that she collapsed upon the shore, and was actually pulled the last few feet to land by five-year-old Bunny Carlson. She was too exhausted to aid the Gilkerson boy, and if the fish erman, who was nearbv with his mother and his two children, hadn't come to the rescue of the other child, he would certainly have perished, she said. The Californian was still in the water with the boy, when Fred De Bolt, Looklngglass, another fisherman, came in his boat to pull them to shore. Mrs. Carlson asked that the un identified man either call the Gil kerson home at 102J5, or the Carlson home at 102R3, so that he may be properly thanked.

Putney, a roofing company executive. The will was filed in Probate court yesterday.

R. Forder Buckley, attorney and secretary of the Humane So ciety of Missouri, described the will as "the silliest thing I ever heard of."
