One source in the industry places it at 475,00 vehicles. Seven car makers have switched over to 1950 models. Only one of these Nash motors is now closed. Nash started making 1950 models last September. Another, Pontiac division of General Motors Corp., will close Wednesday, however, just two weeks after putting its 1950 car into production. The other new models include Fords and Mercurys produced by the Ford Motor Co., and Hudsons, Studebakers and Packards. All have continued in production through the steel strike and short age, with relatively little or no curtailment. But Ford closed down its Lin coln division Nov. 11. A week earlier Chrysler Corp. shut down plants producing Dodges, DeSotos and Chryslers. At the time Chrysler said It would keep Plymouth operations going until Thanksgiving. The firm managed by channel ing its available steel into Ply mouth production. However, a Chrysler representative said to day Plymouth division lines would close down next week either Wednesday or Friday. Next week will sec the shut downs of Buick and Oldsmobile divisions of General Motors, as well as Plymouth and Pontiac. Other auto makers whose opera tions are at a standstill are Willys-Overland Co., Kaiser-Fra-zer Corp. and Reo Motors, a truck manufacturer. Kaiser-Frazer says its shutdown is not linked with the steel shortage, however. Chevrolet, GM's biggest divi sion, began layoffs in its Flint, Mich., .manufacturing plant yes terday in preparation for inven tory and model changeover. Work on the 1950 cars is scheduled to start in December. U. S., Russia Risk Total War To Rule World, Assertion LAKE SUCCESS UP) The Philippines has told the United Nations that small countries are mere kibitzers at the mercy of two great power blocs that are risking total war In a champion ship contest to domkjate the world. Salvador P. Lopez, the Philip pipines representative, said the world "has become too small for the giants" and added that "one side will try to push the other off this planet" unless something is done to stop their rivalry. Lopez appealed to the United States and Russia to "let each other alone" and stop their "mi crophone diplomacy." Other small powers quickly joined in the double-edged appeal. Fadhll Janali of Iraq urged the big powers to stop "coining ad jectives for each other." Peru vian delegate Victor Belaunde said he agreed wholeheartedly with Lopez. The debate was In the 59-nation political committee of the gener ar assembly which is discussing rival peace proposals of Russia and the Western powers. Up to now the debate had been domi nated by bitter East-West clashes between Russia's Vishinsky, on one hand, and U.S. Delegate Aus tin and British Minister of State McNeil, on the ther. Lopez said Vishinsky had made it painfully clear that the busi ness of peace is "exclusively the business of the Big Five, or rath er of the Big Two." The small powers "are merely spectators in this deadly game of chess." mum rTnTriiiMiMM.MWiMniii 'wr-m wiiTrmimn -imiifimjiiiir imrtir .Jiiiitrririrnn'i nrmf i iww.itM.MMiMB ipwpmmwimi iiiiiii mwniTim-TTTm imrnmrn n C-.LI!-I I 1 OT1 iCON MONDAY, NOV., 21, sv4 Soviet And Yugo Diplomatic War Is Flaming Anew By The Associated Press The diplomatic war between Yugoslavia, the Cominform out cast, and Soviet Russia took on a new spurt today. The Soviet news agency Tass said Lazo Latinovic, acting head of Yugoslavia's embassy in Mos cow has been expelled for spying and subversive activities. Latinovic, now in Yugoslavia, took charge of the. embassy after the Russian government said his chief, Ambassador Karl Mrazu vie, no longer was acceptable. Russia had accused Mazovic, too, of subversive activities. The latest move looked like re taliation in the bitter word war between the Kremlin and Pre mier Marshal Tito who has snip ped mother Russia's apron strings. Tass said the Russian consul at Zagreb and a military attache at Belgrade had been or dered out of Yugoslavia by the Tito government. A Soviet Infor mation Bureau olflclal had also been given his walking papers. They were accused of "engaging in anti-Yugoslav activities. The Russians denied ' the charges, Tass said. The agency added; The Russians regard the ex pulsion of their attaches "as a new manifestation of the hostile policy of the Yugoslav govern ment toward the Soviet Union."

Nebo Roseburg Elks Lodge Replaces Damaged Pold, Unfurls Another Flag Duplicating a rite of 30 years ago, the Roseburg Elks lodge on last Armistice day performed a flag raising ceremony, with a 21 gun salute on Mt. Nebo. It was in 1919 that the late Judge J. C. Fullerton donated an acre of land atop Mt. Nebo to the Elks lodge for the purpose of maintaining a flag. But seven years ago the flag pole was blast ed by lightning and had not been replaced. Robert Helllwell, general chairman, related the story of the first flag raising ceremony and also that of the last one. Early in 1919 the late C. B. Sutton began work hand-hewing from a fir tree a pole suitable for use. It was 75 feet long and about 10 inches in diameter, secured against a cedar stub, which was imbedded in cement. The task of getting the pole up the steep slopes of Mt. Nebo was not an easy one, said Helll well. Tractors in those days had just put in an appearance for general use, and several compet ing firms offered the use of tractors in an attempt to haul the pole to the top. After several failures, Art Marsh, now living in Medford, successfully perform ed the feat. Plaque Commemorates The flag raising ceremony took place Oct. 16, 1919, with Sutton, I. B. Riddle and Roy Bel lows on the committee in charge. The first flag is now In display witn a memorial plaque in tne Elks lodge room, together with the following inscription: "This Is the first flag unfold ed to the breeze on Mt. Nebo for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks by its members. I. B. Riddle, C. B. Sutton, Roy Bellows Roseburg, Ore.. Oct. 23, 1919." For seven years now no flag has flown on Mt. Nebo, until the Elks committee, consisting of Helliwell, Gil Holderman, Sig Fett, Val Strong, Blayne Flora, Jack Chapman, Bob Phillips and Archie Elliott got busy on the project. , . Their work culminated in the raising of the present flag at 7:30 a.m. Nov. 11, following the gun salute. The task of securing and erected the new flag pole was simple compared to that of 30 years ago. A pole of the type commonly used for piling was hauled by Holderman on his truck to the base of Mt. Nebo. Sig Fett offered the use of a tractor, operated by Bob Major, and the pole was easily hauled to its place on the mountain. A volunteer California-Oregon Power company line crew, head ed by Val E. Strong and Dale Simmons, lowered the remnants of the old lightning-shattered pole and erected the new one in its place. The flag was raised in fitting ceremony. Weather Handicap Fought The performance, however, was not without its drawbacks, as any of the committee can at test. Rain beat down, and the wind at the mountain height was cold and bitter. Each member returned "soaked to the gills," so to speak. One member of the group who participated in the original cere mony in 1919 also helped in 1949. He was Elliott. Helliwell expressed his thanks to the following participating firms, which volunteered their services without charge: Puget Timber Co., Fredrickson's Photo Lab, California-Oregon Power company; Sig Fett, Denn-Gerret-sen Co., and Harry Pierce. Tomcat's Secret Ride Earns Him New Home LEWISTON, Idaho UP) A 250-mile jaunt under the hood of Neil Beaulleu's car earned a traveling tomcat from Vancouver, Wash., a new home. Beaulieu said the meandering mouser apparently crawled under the hood in search of warmth. Eight hours later, it had peri ously traveled to Walla Walla, Wash., where the stowaway was discovered by Beaulieu when he stopped to have his car serviced. The rest of the trip from Walla Walla to Lewiston, the feline rode with Beaulieu inside the car. He intends to offer the transient a chance to settle down here. ? Jfir - . : J?
