The audience was attentive and expressed appreciation . of . the artist's performance with loud ap plause. He repeatedly came back for curtain Calls, and at the close of his performance played three encores. Odnoposoff definitely is a mas ter of the violin, and performed excellently. The program varied from the serious type of selec tions, such as bach's "Grave" from the piano suite in B flat minor, which is being presented In its present arrangement by Leon Culler for the first times in the United States, to the lighter interpretaions of such numbers as Heler Vllla-Lobos' "Song of the Black Swan," and Harold Trigg's "Danza Brazilians."

Obstacles To Marshall Plan Cited By Cordon (Continued from Page One) Congressman Thomas Should Quit, Opinion (Continued from Page One) and a half-day trial. In it, the government contend ed thousands of dollars were paid out for work that never was done. This money, it claimed, turned up in Thomas' bank account. Fur thermore, the government pro duced testimony that .Thomas kept relatives on the payroll who did no work one of them a 71-year-old bedridden woman. House Could Expsl Thomas doesn't have to resign, even if he goes to Jail. If he doesn't, the House could expel him. Thomas still has a year to go on his seventh term. The few House members now In town . agree that . Thomas ought to hand In his resignation. Thomas himself was saying nothing, except that he was go ing home to Allendale, N. J., and come back next week. Thomas' lawyer said the del isting trade barriers, then it will be time for us to lower tariffs." Advice to Lumber Industry Ills remarks on the Marsha!! plan followed the statement that there was "not much hope in the Immediate future for a lumber export market." He said other countries have the desire to buy, but no dollars with which to pay for the goods. As a result, Sen. Cordon said, we must increase the variety of our own wood nroducts so lunv ber-producing Oregon will have goods to offer other states. Es pecially Is this a must in what tne senator lermea ine ioubii times." To further acquaint himself with the modern lumbering me thods now utilized In Douglas county, Sen. Cordon said he would like nothing better than co spend several weeks in KoseDurg "doing Just that." He said there is still a need to urge all lumber operators in this area the necessity for long term, sustained yield operations. "There must be no indiscrimi nate cutting. Planned deforesta tion is every bit as necessary as planned reforestation," the senator declared. He said this area must plan the lumber industry on a sus taining agricultural basis. If not, "We have only ourselves to blame for what might follow." Busy Period Ahead After staying a little more than a week In Roseburg, "nearly the longest time I've spent in my home town in five years," the senator said he Is off for Salem today for a meeting with the Willamette Basin commission and discussion of the flood con trol program. While in Salem, he hopes to meet with the state board of the farm bureau arid will greet Gov. McKay. A series of general meetings in Portland will occupy him Fri day and Saturday and next week he will be visiting dam sites and projects in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Following this, he will spend several weeks in Califor nia, familiarizing himself with two reclamation projects in ord er to report his observations to the Senate appropriations com mittee, of which he is a member. Shortly after Christmas, Sen. Cordon will return to Washing ton, D. C. Lewis Restores 3-Day Work Week For Miners (Continued From Page One) sion to place the congressman at the mercy of the court was made out of consideration for Thomas' health and his family. . His nleadlne no contest doesn t necessarily mean he will get a lighter sentence than he would have if the jury had found him guuty. See Us Before You Buy d Hammond Spinet Organ!

Mine after mine reported: -"Were set to mine coal but the miners aren't coming to work." Iwls strategy is In the form of a compromise because it keeps the coal miners at work before Christmas, thus reducing the threat of a revolt among the coal diggers who have been re ported in several states to be grumbling about meager earn ings this year. Bleak Christmas Faced The walkout, if protracted, will be a body blow to 400,000 United Mine Workers and their families. Already the diggers, their wives and their kiddies face a bleak Christmas. The government esti mates the three previous walkout's have cost the miners $300,000,000 around $750 a man. The first walkout came even before the li;01 a. m. deadline set by an aloof Lewis. The usually fiery UMW chief simply had no comment. ' Two hours before the truce ex pired, some 200 miners failed to report for the overnight shift at the No. 4 and 5 mines of Jones & Laughlln Steel Corporation at nearby California, fa. Then, the walkout became offi cial at one minute after midnight. And reoorts of more mine idle- ness began trickling in. Hundreds of miners in West Virginia, Ken tucky, Virginia and Illinois didn't report for the overnight tricks. Several thousand miners worked the overniRht shifts, prln cipally in Pennsylvania and Virginia. However. UMW sources Insisted this was routine. They explained the miners worked out the iast shifts so they could obtain the same pay as diggers who worked tne urst two snuis yesieraay. While the soft coal truce ex Dired. there was no indication a S"mpathy walkout would spread to the UMW's anthracite miners, consequently, the 80,000 hard coal diggers in eastern Pennsylvania were expected to go to work as scheduled. Negotiations for a new anthra cite agreement are slated to re sume in New York, Dec. 6. For months, Lewis has been trying to get a new contract to enforce the demands hes never publicly announced. He's merely said they wqujd add 30 to 35 cents a ton to the cost of coal. The miners' basic waee Is $14.05 for an eight-hour day. Average weekly earnings run about $70. But the operators pay millions of dollars to the miners besides wages. Through a 20-cents-a-ton royalty they finance entirely the cost of a $100-a-month pensions for retired miners and a health and welfare fund. Canyonville Lions Set Auction,.
