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.

"Moreover they are rounding
themselves Into one team a
team that will make all enemies

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.

Organization of a precision drill
unit composed for former Navy
and Marine corps men has been
started under auspices of the Na
val Reserve, It was announced
by David H. Hill, former ensign
in the local reserve, unit.
The drill unit is meeting every
Thursday evening in the lower
hall of the county courthousa,
from 8 to 9:30. "Bud" Cordon,
former Marine corps drill ser
geant, is acting as drill master.
Eventually the group will have
up to 90 members a full com
pany of Navy men and a squad
of Marines composing a crack
parade unit which will perforin
at public functions.
Hill said the Marines consti
tute a new organized group with
in Volunteer Composite unit 131
of the Naval Reserve. The Ma
rines are commanded by Capt.
Walker Admire, a reserve offi
cer. The new drill unit Is open to
all Navy and Marine corps vet
erans, whether or not they are
nembers of the Naval Reserve
unit, Hill said.
"In view of the fact that this
unit has Just been formed," said
Hill, "we are interested in en
couraging all persons to take an
active part.
"One main reason why we are
encouraging Interest is the fact
that participation in the parade
team builds up credits by wnicn
naval and Marine corns veterans
can qualify and build up retire
ment time and points under the
new reserve retirement program.
"For the interest of all persons
not acquainted with their rights
and privileges under the retire
ment program, a lull expiana
tion will be given at the drill
meetings, said Hill.
Other plans for the parade and
drill unit include organization of
a rifle team to take part In com
petitive match shooting, said Hill.
Also, parade units are to be es
tablished at Sutherlln and Myrtle
Creek. Weekly drills would be
held in those communities, witn
all members gathering for a com
bined monthly drill period In
Roseburg.

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.
Newsboys Also Exempt
Holland said the amendment
would clear away doubts of "tens
of thousands" of small business
men who are uncertain whether
the law now applies to them As
It Is, he said, they are "terribly
apprehensive."
F.arller the Senate had voted
without objection to exempt news

The amendment applies to hours
and child labor provisions of the
law as well as to pay rates

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.

Divorces Hubby After
Absence Of 26 Years
DETROIT, Aug. 31-W After
26 years, Mrs. Sophie Nichols has
decided that, minus a husband,
a marriage isn't a marriage.
Yesterday the former Detroit
school teacher officially shucked
herself of Walter Nichols, who
hasn't been heard from since ne
bolted their wedding reception
Dec. 23, 1923. She told Circuit
Judge Chester P. O'llara:
Nichols left afterplcking up the
wedding presents and the con
tents of ladies' pocketbooks while
the others feasted. It was the
climax to a whirlwind courtship.
Judge O'Hara agreed that it
sounded pretty much like aban
donment and annulled the mar
riage. "I stayed married because I
didn't want to be fooled twice, '
Mrs. Nichols said.

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.
Fortune Bequeathed To
Sterilize Household Pets
FORTUNE BEQUEATHED 12
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31 UP) A St.
Louis animal lover who died 10
days ago left an estimated $100,
000 to promote the sterilization
of household pets.
The bequest was contained !n
the will of Leonard D. Putney, a
roofing company executive. The
will was filed in Probate court
yesterday.
"My belief," Putney wrote, "is
that breeders, licensed by the
states, should be the only per
sons who would have unsterilized
household pets, which could be
used by them for breeding pur
poses, subject to proper regula
tion." R. Forder Buckley, attorney
and secretary of the Humane So
ciety of Missouri, described the
will as "the silliest thing I ever
heard of."
