plants are closed, others will be
closed, rne exact loss is unae
tcrmlned, but it will be extensive.
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."

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."

"Old Glory"
Again Flown
On MT. 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.
