Barber Shop Quartet Will
Hold Its Charter Ceremony
In KP Hall Saturday Night
To most people, the words "barber shop" convey an impression
of lather and shaves, clippers and haircuts. To others they mean
a place to drop In once In awhile and pass the time of day.
But to an increasing number of Roseburg men, the words denote
a particular' type of singing, harmony which is at its best only
when close, and the closer the better.
About six months ago, eight lo-
cal men gathered (very informal
ly) in Cliff Kinch's Associated
Plywood office for mutual enjoy
ment of the old songs. Perhaps
at first their efforts at song malt
ing could not be classed as mu
sic, but as the months and week
ly practice sessions rolled bv,
their voices began to blend in
that type of harmony unique in
America, known as "barber
shop.

In Forests
Most Blazes Believed
Small But Fighters Are
Handicapped In Efforts
Douglas county's first big
storm since spring hit the Rose
burg area at approximately 4:55
p.m. yesterday and passed on to
the north, leaving a string of pow
er line outages, telephone service
interruptions and forest fires In
its path.
M. M. Nelson, Umpqua Nation
al forest supervisor, reported a
total of 19 lightning-set fires on
forest lands, scattered from the
south boundary north beyond the
Steamboat district. An average
of half an inch of rain gave fire
fighters some relief but Nelson
said only three of the blazes were
considered "controlled" by 9
a.m. today. In many cases, fire
crews have not had time to reach
fires reported by forest service
lookouts, he said.
Dispatcher U. F. McLaughlin,
of the Douglas Forest Protective
association told the News-Review
that his office had reports of 15
fires, "all over the place last
night from one end of the coun
ty to the other."
Fires Not Large
Although he reported no big
fires or considerable amount of
damage, fire crews were aided
by the rain and handicapped by
power and telephone line inter
ruptions and radio damage.
Both Nelson and McLaughlin
reported that planes would lly

voiced the fear that "sleeper"

The ultra-modern building will
house an expected 100 students

the new school is designed to care
for a total of 500 students, if city

The old high school building,
constructed nearly 50 years ago,
will be taken over as the city's
expanded elementary grade
school, Gilbreath said.
He announced that high school
students will not attend classes
the entire day Monday. Students
will be run through an abbreviat
ed schedule, covering all classes
offered in a regular day, and will
be dismissed early after receiv
ing assignments and book lists.
The customary class schedule
will be followed Tuesday.
No special ceremony was held
yesterday, Gilbreath said. Board
members and architects merely
looked over the school in a sort
of informal "business session,"
he said. The school district does
plan, however, to hold a regular
open house at the new high
school, sometime In the next few

Russia May Not

sailed down with a liberal dose
of caution today the prediction
by the Italian pro-Communist so
cialist leader, Piertro Nennl, that
Russia would stop short of war
in her anti-Yugoslav campaign.
Any analysis oi Yugoslavia s
unique position halfway between
east and west should underscore
this: that the prospects for a
peaceful settlement of the dis
pute with Russia should be re
garded as warily as the possi
bility of a shooting war.
Remember last spring. Then,
largely Inspired by rumors in
Washington and Paris, reports
were circulated that Russia had
begun a peace offensive to patch
up her differences with Premier
Marshal Tito differences which
began with the expulsion of Tito's
Communists from the Communist
International Information Bureau
(Cominform) 16 months ago. The
peace offensive did not mate
rialize. On the contrary, the Balkan
war of nerves was intensified,
marked by Russian-Imposed eco
nomic sanctions, spying sabotage
and frontier Incidents.
The Balkan people might nat
urally look upon the Nennl state
ment as a trap to lull Yugo
slavia into a feeling of false se
curity. But there seems little
pissibillty now that the Yugo
slavs will nibble at the bait. Nen
nl made his statement yester
day after his return from a
"peace congress" In Moscow.
Nennl knows well that before
there Is any peace between Tito
and Stalin, certain questions must
be answered, among them:
Will Tito's success in getting
help from the United States
spread "Titolsm" elsewhere in the
Communist orbit 7
This last Is the point which
prooaniy nas Moscow most wor
ried. Signs of Titoism have de
veloped outside Yugoslavia.

To Quit Jobs
Many Thousand Mora
Employes Will Be
Affected By Shutdown
President Truman made last
minute attempts today to avert
a strike set for 1 p.m. (PDT)
on the 7,200 mile Missouri Pa
cific railroad.
However, all Indications point
ed to the scheduled walkout ot
5,000 operating employes. The
strike is expected to force the
laying off of some 25.000 other
workers and affect industries In
more than 1.000 communities in
11 states served by the Missouri
Pacific.
Mr. Truman, who also said he
may ask for another 10 day truce
to delay a steel strike scheduled
next Wednesday, said he was
making every effort to avert the
MOPAC strike. He said the gov
ernment had exhausted nearly all
its authority in the dispute.
The Missouri Pacific was ready
to halt all operations. The four
brotherhoods involved in the dis
pute went ahead with their strike
plans.
Freight Service Stopped
Freight service stopped yester
day. Early today an embargo wai
placed on passenger, mail and
baggage service. However, trains
In operation at the strike dead
line will finish their runs.
The chief issue in the dispute
is the manner in which various
operating rules should be inter
preted. Wages and hours were
not involved in the dispute.
Unions involved are the Loco
motive Engineers, Railway Train
men, Locomotive Firemen and
Englnemen, and the Order of
Railway Conductors. The carrier
is the nation's ninth largest.
President Truman also waa
concerned with the CIO steel dis
pute which threatens a strike
of some 1,000,000 members of
the CIO United Steclworkers. But
he told a news conference yes

on the presidential fact-finding
boards report tomorrow before

to "fronts" which develop In tem

He further differentiated be
tween cyclones, system of winds:
hurricanes, any wind over 75
miles an hour, and tornadoes, a
small system of wind, which
touches the ground and is only
75 to 100 feet wide. A typhoon, he
explained, is merely a geographi-
c .1 term applied to a hurricane in
the south Pacific or oriental
waters.
Barometers In Roseburg aren't
of too' much value, because Rose
burg weather does not follow a
true pattern. Frequently, when
the barometer drops and calls
for a storm, the clouds pass over
this vicinity, which lies In a
