2 Th Ntwi-R.view, Ronburg, Or. Mon., Oct. 17, 1949 Newcomers Get Plea To Help In Red Cross Service Red Cross volunteer service present! an excellent opportunity lor newcomers to the City of Roseburg to get acquainted and at the same time achieve con siderable pertonal satisfaction through the performance of a needed and worthwhile commu nity activity. That was a statement of Dour lai Slmms, executive secretary of the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Crews, who today issued an appeal lor vol unteer workers. "Many people who are 'short time' residents of Rosebure have found that their social outlets ar somewhat limited because of their 'newness' in the commu nity," nid Slmms. "It Is to these people that the local chapter of the Red Cross addresses Its ap peal for volunteers. "It Is the feeling of the chapter board of directors that as a vol unteer Red Cross workers, new comer to our city would he able to greatly shorten that 'getting acquainted period' and would soon find themselves firmly es tablished as members of an en thusiastic group of mmmunltv minded citizens engaged In the performance of much-needed ser vices, either In the Roseburg Vet erans hospital or In the chapter headquarters," he said. "There are ample opportuni ties for volunteers to serve In the entertainment and Instruc tion corps, staff aide corps, mo tor corps, or in the Gray Ladv group at the hospital; or as mem bers of the production and supply corps or the social welfare aide groups at chapter headquarters. "Anyone Interested In the Red Cross volunteer services, regard less of previous Red Cross ex perience, is Invited to contact chapter headquarters In the ar mory (telephone 8321. "Red Cro feels that the feel ing of satisfaction experienced by Red Cross volunteers Is one of the important contributions of the organization to its members." Simms said prospective volun teers may contact: Mrs. Edward Titcomh, volunteer services chairman: Mrs. Joseph Bou dreau, Gray Lady chairman: Miss Maryanna Peterson, field director. American Red Cross, at the Veterans hospital; or Miss Ruth Swinney, Junior Red Cross chairman. The Weather U. S. Wsither Bureau Office Roseburg, Oregon Fair today, tonight and Tues day.

See Page 8 recommended by the board but not unless the steelworkers con tribute too. ! Big Aluminum Company of ! America, which makes 50 per cent of the nation's aluminum, says It met the steelworkers' demand for isix cents for pensions and lour J cents for Insurance. I The company said negotiations 'collapsed Friday night over the ; union's refusal to accept a pro 'vision that the proposed pension !plan be subject to any future ad- lust mem in leaerai social si-iuiny laws, Alcoa Strike Orderly There was little. If any picket ing, at Alcoa's plants. At New Kensington, Pa., where 4,000 are employed, three union representa tives and three company officials appeared at the main gate. "This strike Is very orderly," an official commented. "The men simply are not coming to work." Other Alcoa operations were struck at Badin, N. C; Alcoa, T-nn.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Kdtie water, N. J.; Detroit; Bauxite, Ark.; Richmond, Ind., and Mo bile, Ala. As the steelworkers struck Al coa, Murray continued his stump ing tour of the steel centers at Bethlehem, Pa. "Frankly, I do not know when the strike will end." the veteran labor leader said at a news con ference. Then, In a speech to some 20.000 steelworkers, Murray de clared some steel companies "believe the non-contributory principle In pensions Is okay for steel executives but not for the workers." Murray said he has been out of touch with U. S. Conciliation Di rector Cvrus Chine and added the steelworkers are "prepared for an enduring struggle to win the se curity to w hich every human be ing Is entitled." The steelworkers made no Im mediate estimate of the number of fabricators closed down during the week end. So far, 28 lubrica tors employing about 50,000 have seltled with the union. They've agreed to pay the entire cost of employee pension and In surance programs. The soft coal miners hnve been Idle since September 13. They quit afler their pension and wel fare payments were suspended. the Air Force have Joined up to out-vote the Navy, 21. Cates and (Jen. A. A. Vantie grift, a former commandajit of Marines, were called as the last witnesses for the Navy. Next the committee will hear the other I side of the dispute from air force j and army men. I What Navy Contends I Broadly, the Navy's argument l.i this: First, that present military pol icy puts too much reliance on the air force high flying B 36 bomber and the atomic bomb. Second, that the other services want to do away with the Marine corps and naval aviation, reduc ing the navy to a transport and antisubmarine force. Cates k)id he heartily endorsed everything the Navy hai been saying along that line. For two years, the Marine commandant said, a lot of the time, energy and attention of tee Marine corps leadership has been consumed by resisting "inroads and incursions" against the corps. These "Inroads" have been go ing on, he said, despite the spe cific protection thrown around the corns by Congress when It passed the unification law put ting the Army. Navy and Air Force under one department. Marines' Power Weakened Cates adder): "The manifest combat power of the Marine corps is being de stroyed and dissipated and Its mobilization potential ignored." Cates said the "Army general staff group" stands today within 'measurable distance" of achiev ing three objectives against the Marines, In spite of what the law savs. He listed the objectives this way: 3. That Marine units be limit ed to regiment size and the corps cut to 50.000 to 60.000 men. 2. That amphibious warfare, the specialty of the Marines, be recognized as an army function. 3. That the Marine corps not i he expanded appreciably in war time. Cates went on to complain that fundamental questions regarding I Marine weapons and equipment are passed on by Army. Navyand are passed on by Army, Navy I and Air F'nrce officers. Marines Ignored The Marines have no Important post in the defense department, he said, and thus "lack adequate representation" In matters vitally concerning them and the national defense. From Its "submerged position at the bottom of this vast ad ministrative structure." Cates re marked, tt is hard for the Marine corps to keep the position Con gress Intended it to have. Cates said the solution of pres ent troubles doesn't lie In more laws but In "a simple show of loy alty and good will in complying with the spirit of the law we have." In the "type of teamwork that the American people expert their leaders In uniform to display." The Boston symphony orchestra was founded In 1881. It has had ten conductors. Jack Mathis On OSC Rooks "11" In Friday Game CORVALLIS, Oct. 17 ( Special Jack Mathis, the captain nd a standout tackle on the 1918 Rose burg high school eleven that fought to a It 19 tie with the state champion Grants Pass team, started for the Oregon Slaie "Rooks" Friday afternoon against the LI. of O. Frosh team. The combination that clicked for the "Frosh was the passing at tack ol Hal Durnham on the toss ing end and Jake Wllkens on li e receiving end. The Oregon State "Rooks" lost. 33-6. The defeat broke a string ol "Rook" victories since the end ol the war. In 1946 there was no otficial club, but the Oregon State Junior varsity, composed mostly of freshmen, defeaied the babv Ducks twice, repeating the feat in 1947 and 1948. The two lineups were sprinkled with all-state ma terial coming from the Shrine game played last August in Port land. Out of a field of twenty-three candidates lor Homecoming queen a list of ten was aninTnci-q Thursday, which Included Joyce Graham from riosehurg, repre senting Alpha Gamma Delta so rority.

The identification of the queen will be kept secret until the Mid night show being held during Homecoming weekend at 10:30 on October 28.

Sigma Nu, one of 28 national I fraternities on the Oregon Stare college campus recently initiated seven men including Clyde Olm- srheid, Roseburg. Sigma Nu is I the fraternity which Stanton Ot- nutt of Roseburg and Edward I Shirtcliff of Myrtle Creek pledgL-d ' during the first rush week Sept. '26. Four high school hands from neighboring cities participated in the first OSC Band Day Saturday. They marched in a downtown va rade before the OSC-Montana football game and played at half-time. CIO Steel Strike Not " I Seven New Armories To Get Aid Of AFL (Continued from Page One) defense and general welfare ol the labor movement." That wasn't exactly what Lew is was talking about. He suggested that at least nine AFL unions were rich enough to Join with the United Mine Workers in contriu uting $250,000 a week each to wards the steel strike. Sawyer said that the steel strike which began Oct. 1 has cut steo! production to 10 percent ol capacity causing metal consumini; industries to draw on their exist ing inventories. Should the strike continue to Nov. 15, "it Is expect ed that shortly after that date 80 percent of the production of these steel-consuming industries will be lost, with serious damage to the nation's economy." Sawyer expressed concern lor more than 200.000 small inanu- lacturing firms and additional I thousands of service establish I ments which he said depend on si eei. Lewis "Grandstanding?" There was no immediate Indi cation that his survey of the pos sible effects of the strike was an advance signal for some drastic government move. . Murray, In a creafully worded statement, also suggested that the steelworkers to the last man would "lend help and assistance to the mine workers." Lewis' critics said he was mak ing "a grandstand play" to boc.l the morale of his own miners, who have been on strike since Sept. 19. The union, although it had more than $13,000,000 in its treasury at last report, pays no direct strike benefits. Miners at i St. Michael. Pa., telegraphed Lewis that "we believe a kitty should be raised to alleviate pov erty in the mining fields first."
