Garbage Rates Fixed The new garbage ordinance, es tablishing rates for garbage serv ice In the city, was defeated on Its third reading. Immediately re vised, and passed again with an emergency clause, so that It may become effective Oct. 1. The ordinance establishes the following rates: Once weekly, one can. $1; two cans. $1.75; three cans. $2; twice weekly, one can. $1.75; two cans, $2.25; three cans, $3. The revision made In the gar bage rates last night included a boost from $1.50 to $1.75 for col lection of two cans once a week, and a similar boost for collection of one can twice a week. With the exception of these two Increases, the new schedule of garbage rates prepared last month was adopted without change. The changes, as request ed by the Roscburg Garbage Dis posal company, necessitated de feat of the ordinance on its third reading; its Immediate revision and passage with an emergency clause. Street Widening Ordered Other ordinances passed on third reading last night call for widening of N. Jackson street, on either side of the center park way, and for Improvement of Ford street with grading and oiling. N. Jackson street will be wid ened to 28 feet on either side of the center parkway, between E. 2nd avenue S. and the Southern Pacific tracks; and to 22 feet on either side of the center park way between the railway tracks and E. 1st avenue S.

Councilman Harrison Winston suggested that the entire council attend the convention, for the reason that all would benefit and learn more about municipal af fairs. Mayor Albert G. Flegel agreed that It would be worm while for the council to attend hut no provision has been made In the budget for expenses of so large a group. Often, the mayor pointed out, Koseburg Is con spicuous by Its absence" at league of Oregon Cities conven tions.

Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the American Joint chiefs of staff, appears certain to become the key figure In the Atlantic Pact military organization. The military organization, con sisting of a series of defense planning committees. Is to be created here Oct. 5. It Is expect ed to come up with a set of unified defense plans for the whole western European-North American-Atlantic ocean area In about six months. Speed in laying out at least the general plans of a unified strategy is considered essential now by the state and defense departments. One reason Is Con gress may make full-scale Amer ican arms aid to Europe at least partly dependent on the existence of such plans. That Is one of the major new points in the bill now before the Senate. While the American member of the 12 nation military organi zation has yet to be designated by the President, defense and diplomatic officials said there seemed to be no doubt that he would be Bradley. The 56-year-old general is noted for getting along with people and getting things done. He Is already regarded highly by Europeans. Currency Devaluing Now Lines Up 19 Countries (Continued From Page One) the wage line, railway workers began a slowdown for more money. On many sides, the press at tacked Britain's economic leader, Sir Stafford Cripps. and the gov ernment for giving no indication that government spending and taxes would be cut. This, it was argued, would give pound-poor Britishers more pence to spend for the new, expensive goods of dvaluation. Since Britain took her sterling monetary dive a string of other nations have plunged Into the de valuation pool with a loud splash. Exchanges In Home, Milan and South Africa shared the excite ment. In Italian money markets the lira fluctuated wildly and cheapened. At Johannesburg, brok ers struggled to handle thous ands of orders for gold pouring in from many parts of the world. Government bonds gained in London, hut they had suffered severe losses in the last few weeks In anticipation of devalua tion. Trading In foreign stock was barred in Paris, where the franc opened ahout 6 per cent under last week's free market prices. That was at the level sought by the French government. Russia Expected to Follow In Moscow, economic observ ers believed the Soviet ruble will retain its present relation to the dollar. That will be Moscow's way of saying that Its ruble Is as sound as U. S. coin. But Russia Is expected to adjust the rate of its ruble In relation to the money of devaluing countries. Canada, a great gold producer like South Africa, made a com promise devaluation 10 per cent. That means it will cost 110 cents to buy an American dollar In Canada. The pound's worth was set at $.108 In Canadian funds. Thus the effect was to bene I it Britain, since the pound would have been worth only $2.80 if Canadian dollars had remained at par with U. S. dollars. Over almost all the world, gold was king -and tha V. S. dollar grew mightier. In Sydney, Australia, gold was the darling of traders. Twenty thousand shares in eighteen ilij ferent gold companies changed hands during a bewildering morn ing sesion. As news of the world wide gold Increase got around, the demand sklyrocketed. Chicago Printers End 22-Month Long Strike CHICAGO -.P The 22 month printer strike against Chicago's five major riailv newspapers came to an end Sunday with union ac ceptance of a $10 weekly wage DOOSI.

"I am absolutely convinced be- :yond the shadow of a doubt lhat jit is all we can get at this time." said Local President John J. Pilch In urging acceptance of the agree ; ment.

The factors Involved with large airplanes, he pointed out, incluoe a long runway, clear approaches, and radio navigational aids. These would be necessary for commercial planes to maintain schedules. A study by the C.A.A. has in dicated that the city should con trol the property to the north of the present airport. This Includes a 15-acre parcel, which would permit extension of the runway to 4.700 feet, and a 50-odd acre tract known as "Boucock hill." which would provide clear ap proaches to the field from the north. Slankard told the forum audi ence this property could be ac 3ulred either by purchase or con emnation. Irving, on a large map, pointed out that the new alignment for the airport has been laid out to utilize the ballast rock of the present runway as much as pos sible. Paving Item Largest He Itemized the cost of the pro posed airport Improvements and said that the biggest single Item would be that of paving the run way with asphalt, 100 feet wide and 4,700 feet long. He estimat ed the cost would be $94,391. Other items of expense would be construction of drainage cul verts, installation of radio navi gational aids, grading and rock ing of runways and taxiways, paving of taxiways, etc. Irving said a master plan of the airport should be prepred, showing all future improvements which may be desired. He sug gested that an area on the west side of the field be reserved for hangars and administrative buildings. Program chairman of Mon day's forum meeting was City Councilman George IS. West, who credited the Chamber of Com merce with Initiating the pro gram for Improving the present airport in 1944. As chairman of the city coun cil's airport committee.

FORREST LOS EE 230 N. Stephens St. Fullerton Realty Price Adjustment Made Over Globe y The Associated Press Because Britain and many other countries changed the price of the money in terms of dollars, prices of a host of articles had to be adjusted In far-flung cor ners of the earth. The world's economy was get ting a thorough shake-up. . These were major develop ments: Stocks-London's brokers, their exchange closed, bid shares up wildly In open-air trading, ex changes shut down In France and some other nations. Prices a t New York where trading opened as usual dropped a few cents to around $1 a share, then levelled off. But gold shares were higher everywhere. Commodities active selling of contracts calling for future de livery swept United States mar ketsWool and wool tops fell the dally limit allowed by trading rules; cotton, cottonseed oil, hides, cocoa and rubber also were affected. Rubber at Sing apore closed nearly 7 cents a pound above Saturday's level. Foreign e x c h a n g e -fairly heavy conversion o f British pounds into 11. S. dollars was reported by New York dealers at the new rate of approximately $2.80 to the pound. But wifh banks of many other countries closed and official rates not yet announc ed, other devalued currencies were not quoted at New Yorn this morning. Impact on American consumer his dollar should buy more In goods Imported from count lies which devalue their money. But many articles won't reflect a full 30 per cent reduction. A New York dealer for a British motor car dropped prices 20 per cent today, but he may have to raise prices later: best guesses on British woolens were that de clines might range from 10 to 20 per cent; Scotch whiskey, be cause of the huge tax factor, would be affected to lesser de gree.

FIND YOUR NUMBER AND WIN A FREE PRIZE Half Million Idle In Spread Of Coal Strike (Continued From Page One) pie workers and a truck driver were beaten at a strip mine op eration. Thirteen truckloads of coal were dumped In both instances bands of rov ing pickets were blamed. Virginia's Governor Tuck got Into the strike story while giving a speech at Richmond. Remark ing he has only four months of his term left, Tuck declared: "I Intend to leave the state capitol in January and I don't in tend to leave it cold." Then with out referring to Lewis, he said: "I will continue to enforce the laws of Virginia during the next four months. There may be mol lycoddling of these labor leaders In Washington but there will be no mollycoddling In Virginia. Lewis took It 11 In. He didn't say a word. And there was no Indication from his United Mine Workers headquarters in Wash ington whether he will show up for scheduled resumption of con tract talks with southern coal op erators at Bluefield, W. Va. The southerners are the thorns In the UMW president's side. Members of the Southern Coal Producers association refused ;o continue paying 20 cents a ton royalties Into the union's pension and welfare fund. Lewis said that refusal had forced the fund to suspend pension and welfare pay ments to aged and ailing miners. Lewis told southern operators they were wrong in their conten tion that lapse of the contract June 30 freed them of their obli gation to continue royalty pay ments. Fund Basis Held "Unsound" Those developments brought on the nationwide work stoppage yesterday. It wasn't long before Industry stepped into the battle. Joseph Moody, president of the Southern Coal Producers, called the UMW fund a "Frankenstein," adding: "If continued as It has been in the past, it will wreck both the coal industry and the union it self." And Moody said suspension of the fund's payments wasn't caused by the southern operators' reiusai to Keep up their pay ments. "The reason is that the fund was established on an unsound basis and that It has been on- erated in a manner that Inevit ably led to its collapse."
