a bit. This is the general drift of
them:
Payments to Individuals for
DIRECT RELIEF in this country
were more than twice as much
in the big boom year of 1948 as
In the bottom of the depression
year of 1934!
f IklRECT relief doesn't include
11 social security, old age pen
sions, unemployment insurance,
or anything of that sort. It is
money paid directly to people who
just haven't enough to live on
and have to be taken care of by
the state.)
BUT, you may say, In 1934 we
were just getting started on
government help for the needy
and hadn't had time yet to get
going.
That doesn't seem to work out
In the six years of depression and
unemployment from 1933 to 1939,
AVERAGE direct relief payments
per year amounted to $824,000,

During the past six years, Sco
field said, the camp has housed
529 families, of which a great
many have purchased or built
homes in this community and
have become permanent citizens.
With deterioration a id old age
overtaking the trailers, many
have reached the stage where
they are now unsatisfactory for
further use for a public trailer
project, said Scofield.
Information on the sale of these
trailers Is expected at any time
by the Dougjas County Housing
authority, explained Scofield. In
Roseburg today was a Mr. Olson,
representing" the J.S. Soil Con
servation service at Portland,
who was inspecting the trailers
with the idea of re-using some of
them on a project in Wyoming.
With the closing of the trailer
camp, the housing authority will
clear the site for future industrial
use by the Youngs Bay Lumber
company, owners of the land.

Two Children Perish In
Home-Destroying Fire
MOUNTAIN View, Calif.,
Nov. 10 CP) Two of ten chil
dren in a rural family burned to
death early today in a fire' of
unreported origin which destroy
ed their home nearby.
The mother, Mrs. Ynez An
dona, and two of the other chil
dren were burned severely. The
six others escaped the flaming
structure. Their father was away
at the time.
Burned to death were Joe, two,
and John Andona, five. -
Developing the theme, AH the
begs in one asket," the Rev. Wal
ter A. MacArthur, pastor of the
First Methodist church, addressed
a rally of workers at the Rose

day. He suggested that workers con
tribute to the C ommunlty Chest
through the payroll deduction
plan, spreading "their payments
over a number of weeks. He
pointed out that If separate drives
were held they might give $5 to
each agency. So a suitable dona
tion would be a combination of
these separate gifts, he said.
Community Chest leaders in
Roseburg pointed out today that
the current drive represents a
saving of time and energy. Six

duct six separate drives, were it
not for the chest organization.
Member agencies Include the

of pre election clashes In which
hundreds reportedly have died.
Censorship of press and radio
also was ordered by President

Corvallis High
Reinstated But
Games Forfeited
PORTLAND, Nov. 10. UP)
corvallis nign scnool was rein
stated by the Oregon School Ac
tivities association today but all
football games played thus far
were declared forfeited.
The reinstatement and the pen
alty were reported by Tom Pig
ott, secretary of the association.
Pigott said Corvallis was free
to play its scheduled game with
Albany tomorrow.
It was for painting "Beat Al
bany" signs on the Albany field
that the suspension was ordered.
Corvallis had been one of the
contenders for the district 4 foot
ball title.
Pigott said the .forfeiture of
all games won thus far ruled
Corvallis out of contention now.
The record, showing all games
to date lost; had too many de
feats for a title-aspiring team,
he said.
The suspension was ordered
Tuesday afternoon. The swift re
instatement, Pigott said, reflect
ed the board of control's feeling
that Corvallis school officials had
acted promptly and properly In
reporting the painting incident bv
students as soon as they learned
of it. Corvallis also made resti
tution, he said, by paying the cost
of removing the signs.

Columbia valley area, the visitors
pointed out many of the dangers
to be expected if control of the
area is turned over to three men
as proposed in the measure.
Specifically noted was the fact
that the region covered by the
bill includes all of southwestern

CVA Opposed By
Cong. Norblad
WEST LINN, Nov. 10 (Pi
Rep. Walter Norblad, Republi
can, Joined the anti-CVA forces
last night.
In a speech at a Young Repub
lican dinner here he said the Co
lumbia Valley administration
would give too much power to too
few people. It was his first state
ment on the CVA issue.
He said local groups should try
to bring into harmony conflicting
interests in basin development
rather than to turn the problem
over to what he called a "super
state."
Norblad said the CVA proposal
was an admission or tne adminis
tration's "guilt in failing to folovv
the sane and economical meth
ods of private enterprise in the
Columbia Valley developments."
PORTLAND, Nov. 10 UP)
Senator Wayne Morse told an au
dience last night he would have
plenty to say , about CVA when
he campaigns for reelection.
"I expressed my views on
pending CVA legislation In my
Oct. 14 speech. In my campaign
I will enlarge on those views, but
I have not yet begun my cam

Ching, Finding Truman
Undecided, Drops Try To
Promote New Contract
WASHINGTON, Nov. VS-m
John L. Lewis today snubbed the
government's bid to a coal peaca
conference and Cyrus Ching, fed

was dropping his efforts to
smooth the way to a new mining
contract.
Ching went to the White House
and reported that Lewis, instead
of showing up for the peace
talks scheduled for this morning,
had sent a wire saying he would
see the mediators on Monday.
When he left the White House,
Ching told reporters he would
tell the mine owners here for the
conference to go on home.
He said he had other plans
and would be too busy to see
Lewis on Monday.
Ching added:
"I haven't any plans at this
time for calling any further meet
ings in the coal dispute."
He hedged that a bit later,
however, by saying that he was
not ruling out the possibility that
another government effort to pro
mote peace might be made.
Asked if he expected Presi
dent Truman to take any action
in the coal dispute in view of
today's developments, Ching said:
"Not yet. There are no plans
for anything like that yet. Noth
ing has been decided."
However. If President Truman
should decide that the mediation
service can accomplish nothing
in tne situation, ne mignt turn
to other means. He could estab
lish a fact-finding board or he
could Invoke the Taft-Hartley
