He never does. West Virginia., biggent soft coal producing state, reported its 120,000 miners Joining the stop page, f Pennsylvania, No. 2 on the pro ducing parade, saw miners refus ing to show up at pits across the state. All Mints Closed The Western Pennsylvania Coal Operators association said no miners were working in the rich bituminous belt employing 56, 000. All big mines in central Pennsylvania, employing 45,000 also were down. Only a few of eastern Penn sylvania's 80,000 hard coal min ers showed up for work. They sat around and talked for a while and then went home. The great majority never reached the mines. Many industry leaders had expected the hard coal mines o continue working since the operators have continued royalty payment's. The anthracite pension fund is administered separately from the bituminous fund. The United States Steel corpo ration said all its coal mining operations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky were closed with 16,000 men Idle. The steel corporation's mines have a daily production of 90,000 tons. In Illinois, 145 UMW diggers at Glenrldge did not change clothes for work after showing up.

In January WASHINGTON UP The top dividend checks to be sent to World War II veterans on their National Service Life insurance will be for S528. Dividends will start going out in January. Veterans Administrator Carl R. Gray Jr., disclosed this in re leasing the formula to be used in distributing the $2,800,000,000 div idend among some 16.000,000 vet erans and their dependents and heirs. He had planned to release it next Sunday but changed his plans because of published re ports about the formula. The dividend, to be paid be fore next June 30. is not subject to income tax. Veterans must ap ply for it, and about the fourths of them have already done so. The formula, Gray said, is cal culated on the basis of a divi dend of 55 cents for each S1.000 of insurance, for each month the policy was in force before its an niversary date in 1948, for all policy-holders who were aged 40 or younger at the time the policy was issued. For older veterans, the divi dend declines gradually until lt is 20 cents a month, for each $1. 000 of insurance, for veterans 55 and over when the policy was is sued. - The scale: Age 41 at issue, 52 cents; 42. 49 cents; 43, 46 cents; 44, 43 cents; 45, 40 cents; 46 37 cents; 47, 34 cents; 48, 31 cents; 49, 29 cents: 50, 26 cents; 51, 24 cents; 52, 23 cents; 53, 22 cents; 54, 21 cents. For ordinary commercial life insurance, the typical monthly premium for $1,000 of term In surance at age 21 is $1.25, the veterans administration said. For National Service Life in surance it is 65 cents. And th man who took it out at 21 will now get a 55-cent dividend. Gray said the maximum pay ment of $.)28 is based on a $10. 000 policy in force for 96 months, on a veteran 40 or less when the policy was taken out. Since the mortality rate for persons 40 and under did not vary greatly, a single dividend rate will apply to that entire age group, he said. The dividend will be paid at the same rate on both term and converted policies. No payments will he made for periods of lapse. "The scale does not apply to insurance on a permanent plan which has been surrendered for a reduced paid-up amount," Gray said. "These rases will be handled separately," Angelina Martha Cross Dies At Daughter's Home Angelina Martha Cross, 88, died last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Helen Dun can of Roseburg.

(Continued From Page One) return. Some officials felt this drain should be cut to one-fourth that amount; if possible, while Britain concentrates on selling to the areas which pay in dollars. They forecast improvement In British exports to the United States, because Americans can buy in Great Britain for $280 what used to cost $4.03. That should spur a buy-British move ment. It should also put some econ omic forces to work behind Sir Stafford Cripps' don't-buy-Ameri-can camoaign. U. S. goods will cost more in England; many Brit ish buyers will cut orders or ouy elsewhere, if possible. Both factors more exports to America and less Imports from America should help England balance her dollar accounts, which are lopsided in America's favor and are cutting into Britain's re serve of dollars and gold at a fearful rate. Observations Mads American oflicials and some diplomatic ones made these ob servations, applying especially to Britain but also to the other de valuing countries: 1. Imported British goods won't dron 30j per cent for Americans at retail. Motor cars may drop sharply in price, as Sir Stafford suggests. But tariffs, (ales costs, Importers' mark-ups and other cost factors on this side won't be touched. British textiles, chlnaware and cutlery will come down, it is pre dicted. But Scotch whiskey may or may not follow suit. The U. S is the great consumer and the price of Scotch is geared to what the U. S. will pay. 2. The price of British Imports will rise: every oound will buy fewer American dollars' worth. Sir Stafford told the English yes terday the net Increase will be slight. But the monetary fund has warned him and other Europetn finance ministers to keep an anti inflationary firehose handy. British Devaluation Of Pound Felt Over World (Continued From Page One) tals held emergency sessions to decide what to do. It was the biggest financial turmoil the world has seen since Britain went off the gold stand ard on another September Sun day night almost 18 years ago to the day. Devaluation of the pound was Intended to solve Britain's grave financial crisis by selling more and cheaper goods to America. A treasury spokesman said de valuation of the pound would have no effect on Britain's strict currency controls. Pound Not Convertiblt The pound is not convertible Into other currencies without a treasury permit and dollars may not be taken out of the country unless the treasury approves. The new, cheaper pound means that Americans may buy Scotch whiskey, English tweeds, Staf fordshire china and many other British products at lower prices. By mid-day 2,000 stockbrokers and clerks Jammed Into the street in front of the stock exchange. They had an open air market going especially in booming gold shares. In the confusion prices quoted In one knot of brokers often were as much as three shillings high er or lower than those 20 yards awav. South African gold shares shot up over last Friday's official closing quotations. Kandlontein gold mines Jumped from 18 shil lings to 25. Brakpan rose from 15 shil lings, sixpence to 20 shillings. The British economic boss Sir Stafford Cripps said last nignt in a nation-wide radio address that England is banking on a big boost in dollar eanings enough for Britain to become self-sup porting by the time the European recovery program ends In 1952. Railroad Car Shortage Is To Be Investigated SALEM. Sept. 9-(.V Utilities Commissioner George H. Flagg plans an investigation of the rail road freight car shortage. Flagg said lumber operators complained that lack of about 125 cars during August and early September had delayed ship ments, particularly from south ern Oregon. He said the most serious situa tion was south of Eugene and in the Coos Bay areas served by the Southern Pacific railroad. The utilities commission said lumbermen assert that Oregon is being discriminated against In the allocation of cars. Railroad spokesmen say the upsurge In or ders for cars has been larger than anticipated, he added. 3 Roseburg Policemen Place Among Top Men (Continued from Page Oae) to form a Southern Oregon Po lice Officers association amnnif those present.

Sept. 19 UP) A soil conservation district farm demonstration near here Satur day drew about 6,000 Willamette valley farmers. The day's work on the 269 acres owned by Irvin Bartels included strip cropping of hillside fields, water diversion terraces, drain age ditches, a farm pond and weed and rodent control. Santiam District Conservator Leonard Burns estimaled the work if paid for in cash would have cost $10,000. He explained, however, that had farmer Bar tels completed the work over the original five year program the cash outlay would have been about $2,000. Regional Conserva tor J. H. Christ said federal studies indicate the projects could boost the farm profits as much as 30 percent. Governor Douglas McKay told the crowd the slate was far be hind Washington and Idaho soil conservation work. He said he hoped the example here would stimulate other farmers to save their farm soils. State Grange, federal and state agriculture and state college ex tension service officials shared in the demonstration planning. Izcrak Walton League Closes Annual Session BEND.
