will be at its strongest position
In armaments . That position
will Increase steadily year by
year.
"So I say today that further
reduction in our payment for na
tional security is unthinkable."
Symington drew a parallel be
tween America's present position
in relation to Russia with that of
England to Germany at the out
break of World War II and
added:
"At this point let me ask you
In case our country In turn is
caught with its defense guard
down, what nation has the
strength to stand behind us as we
stood behind England?"

State Dept. Blunders
Blamed For China's Woe
(Continued from page One)
to the Nationalists was Just one
of the points DUlard nrougnt out
in criticism oi tne state depart
ment. He said acres of automo
bile tires are stacked on China's
docks, as well as other Items
such as cost'y harvesting and
farming equipment items which
China did not want because they
could not be put to use in the
war against Chinese Reds.
"What Chiang Kai-shek's gov
ernment wanted was money and
modern war equipment with tech
nicians furnished by this country
to train Nationalist troops In the
said. "The Chinese merely want
ed these things on a loan basis
a loan they were prepared to
back up with their many valuable
assets.
He said the Chinese do not un
derstand our system of making
loans, whereby tne state depart
ment attaches strings to every
bit of material we send. Instead,
they think they should be able to
do what they wish with money
and materials borrowed from
us lust like a private American
citizen taking a loan at a bank.
Confidence Forfeited
Dillard said another Indication
that our State department is not
playing ball with China or the
American people- is tne com
plete souelch" put on the We-
dermever renort. which was suh
mltted to wasnington, v.u. ine
report was Ignored, presumably
because Its contents" disagreed
with State department observa
tions and brought to light certain
facts which the department
heads did not wish to be made
public.
Because of all this, Dillard
said, the Chinese have "all the
confidence In the world in Am
erican people and none what
ever in American officials."
Speaking of Chiang Kai-shek,
Dillard said he Is "still the strong
man of China" who controls the
north through loyalty and the
south through fear. In his opin
ion, he said, there will always
be a threat to Chinese Commu
nism as long as Kai-shek lives
on Chinese soil.
Dillard preceded these ' re
marks bv citing little known facts
on China's many valueWe assets.
He refuted the idea that China
is ancient and worn out, with the
comment that China's resources
range from the best fur and coal
In the world to "terrific deposits"
of precious metals and other met
al ore used Industrially.
"China is the only nation in tne
world able to buy all Its process
ed goods from us, supply us with
all the raw materials we need
and still have a dollar balance,"
Dillard declared. .

Lewis'- Tactics Target
Of Action In Court
(Continued from page One)
fore Federal District Judge Rich
mond B. Keech in Denham's case.
Manoli started off by offering
a score of exhibits. Heading the
list was last week's report from
James Boyd, director of the Bu
reau of Mines, stating that a na
tional crisis exists or shortly will
exist unless normal coal output
Is restored.
The complaint is based on
operator charges that In decree
ing a three-day work week In the
mines, Lewis and the XJMW were
trying to bring pressure to force
an illegal contract and were not
bargaining collectively.
there was some speculation 'n
advance that the court might de
lay action, especially since LewU
is to renew contract negotiations
with northern and western oper
ators later today.
rne miners ana tne operator
meanwhile showed no great haste
about replying to Mr. Truman'
proposal sidestepping the Taft-
Hartley law that Lewis detests
that the disputants submit their
cases - to a presidential fact-finding
board.
Most of the miners have been
on a three-day week under Lewis'
orders. Many of them, however,
have not been working at all for
weeks. As a result, coal produc
tion is low and there have been
many complaints of a real emer
gency.
Mr. Truman has not conceded
yet there is a national emergency,
under which he could Invoke the
Taft-Hartley law's provisions for
an 80-day Injunction against
striking.
Ho Old say yesterday that the
miners and operators should
agree to his peacemaking offer
in tne national interest.
"The government can no lon
ger stand by," Mr. Truman's mes
sage to both sides said, "and per
mit the continuance of conditlors
which have now come 'to such a
serious effect upon, the public
interest."
Senator Taft (R-Ohlo) com-
mened that Mr. Truman's "only
intention Is to by-pass the Taft-
Hartley act." Senator O'Mahoney

Some of his other contract

Christian Teaching Mission
Will Start Here Tomorrow
Spiritual Stimulation Aim
Of City Ministerial Assn.
Congregation and leaders of a majority of Roseburg churches
begin this city's first participation In the National Christian Teach
ing Mission tomorrow, with eight days of continuous city-wide
church activity slated.
Purpose of the crusade Is two
fold, as outlined by the Roseburg
Ministerial association. The teach
lng mission aims to stimulate the
spTrit'ial life and effectiveness of
the present church memberships,
including congregations and pas
tors. The second purpose Is to
obtain the names of the hundreds
of persons in this area who are
not now active participating mem
bers of local churches.
This awareness of the spiritual
value of churches is already in-
progress, with local ministers in
terpreting the teaching mission
to their followers. Guest leaders,
outstanding ministers in the state,
will be on hand to aid each local
church participating in the teach
ing mission. They will aid in pre
paring the local program, will
meet with ministers and congre
gations in special spiritual clinics
and will conduct special services.
City Survey Planned
Big day of the mission will be
Sunday, when volunteer census
takers from each church will at
tempt to canvass the town and
surrounding area during a two
hour period.
This complete religious census
will be taken by hundreds of
church members. Each church
will be given an area within
which its members will make a
house-to-house survey. Results will
be compiled for future use of par
ticipating churches.
Named to head the over-all pro
gram in Roseburg Is Rev. Edward
W. Gebhard of Chicago, associate
director of educational evangel
Ism for the International Council
of Religious Education.
The National Christian Teach
ing mission is a cooperative proj
ect in educational evangelism for
the Protestant churches of local
communities. It has been held in
more than 60 communities since
it, was first launched experimen
tally In 1944.
As a part of the United Evan
gelistic Advance, sponsored in
1949 and 1950 by the major Protes
tant denominations, the teaching
mission will be held In more than
75 communities before the end
of the year.

well as police and fire protection.
Similar, improvements are being
worked out in other areas recent
ly admitted to the city he said.
Surveys are going ahead to pro
vide sewers in West Roseburg,
said Slankard. Orders have been
given to the California Oregon
Power Co. to install street light
ing. Streets are being maintained
and building regulations are in
effect. West Roseburg, Miller's
addition and Sleepy Hollow have
the same fire and police protec
tion as other parts of the city.
Roseburg, said the city man
ager, has one of the lowest tax
rates in the state 15.6 mills. Cost
of city government has been low
ered 25 per cent in the last two
years, yet major city improve
ments have been made recently.
The current budget provided $93,
970 for the previous year. The
street maintenance funds were
raised $24,440, plus $15,000 taken
from street funds to finance part
of the new street lighting system.
The low tax rate is largely be
cause of the extremely high type
construction of buildings within
the city, said Slankard. The as
sessed valuation of Roseburg Is
$7,869,500, which is above the
average for cities the size of Rose
burg. (See Eait Roseburg Drawing

Hydrogen Bomb Decision
Gets Congress Approval
(Continued from page One)
all the major atomic plants. All
planes coming within 100 miles
of atomic plants in Tennessee,
New Mexico and Washington
state must file flight plans with
defense authorities. A similar rule
covers the Atlantic coastal region
from Norfolk to Maine.
The idea is to protect against
surprise air raids. Fighter planes
will be used to back up the new
order.
The Defense department said
the plan is "not related to any
specific international develop
ment." Russia Says Nothing
The decision of the President
was accepted without surprise at
the United Nations in New York.
Russia had nothing to say for
the moment. Two American Com
munist leaders, Party Chairman
William Z. Foster and Secretary
Eugene Dennis, protested. They
telegraphed Mr. Truman from
New York that "this step . . .
was not preceded by sincere in
ternational negotiation for out
tawing and destroying atomic
weapons. It thus belies your pro
fessed Intention of seeking peace."
Some U. N. diplomats specu
lated that the H-bomb announce
ment might impel the Russians
to come back into talks on con
trol of the atom and weapons of
mass destruction. They walked
out Jan. 19 In protest against the
presence of a Chinese Nationalist
delegate.
A plan for International con
trol of atomic energy has been
endorsed by 49 of the 59 mem
bers of the U. N. The Soviet
bloc wouldn't accept It and pro
posed a counter-plan that has
never even approached accept
ances. A presidential associate said
Mr. Truman's determination to
go ahead with work on an H-bomb
was no snap decision. He said the
President had mulled over the
Idea carefully with top advisers
"for a long time."
The prospective new weapon
has been estimated by scientists
to be many times more powerful
than present atomic bombs for
which uranium is the ray materi
al. Some scientists have estimated
that the atomic explosion of hy
drogen would be up to 1,000 times
as great as that of uranium prod
ucts now used.
Presumably scientists will not
be absolutely certain that such a
super bomb will work until they
assemble a model and test it
possibly on some remote Pacific
island. The evidence is that they
are convinced of the probability
that it will work. .
More than half of all Oregon
traffic accidents occur at inter
sections. There are many ways to
avoid trouble at Intersections but
the best is to remember the old
law of science which states that
two solid bodies cannot occupy
the same space at the same time.

Dewey Slashes
Budget In N.Y.;
No Tax Changes
ALBANY, N. Y., feb. 1-VP)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey sent to
the Legislature today a state
budget of $861,722,632 that pro
vides for a record slash of $77,
600,000 but no tax changes.
The present 10 percent state
income tax "forgiveness" will be
continued. But Dewey probably
will relax his pay-as-you-go pol
icy to finance some highway con
struction with bonds.
Dewey, twice defeated Repub
lican candidate for the presiden
cy, criticized what he called an
unfair federal tax drain on New
York.
He complained of what he
termed Washington's "usurpation
of taxes well-suited to state or
local use" and "grants-in-aid as
a substitute for state and local
taxes and responsibility."
New York state, he contended,
"takes as much as a 5-to-l beat
ing" on money It pays Washing
ton and what It gets back in fed
eral grants."
Dewey told the Legislature he
was not recommending any tax
Increases in spite of a decline
In state revenue for the first time
in 10 years, plus mounting de
mands for more public service
and financial aid for localities.
This also explained why there
was to be no tax cut in he face
of the reduced appropriations for
the fiscal year starting April L
Coal Miner Back On Job
After Gas Controversy
COLLINSVILLE, III., Feb. 1
UP) A coal miner who wanted to
install gas heat in his home was
back at work today after a three
week layoff.
Charles Walchekauskas, a min
er for 37 years, was laid off Jan
uary 9 after a controversy' with
his union over the gas heat. Fel
low workers refused to work with
him.
Bylaws of the Collinsville local
of the Progressive Mine Workers
union (Ind) prohibit members
from using anything other than
coal or wood to heat their homes.
Waichekauskas, 56, had plan
ned to install gas heat In his
new home. He said fumes from
his coal furnace were sickening
to his 20-year-old adopted son, a
victim of rheumatic fever.
Neither Waichekauskas nor the
president of the Collinsville local
would comment on the return to
work.
They also declined to say
whether Waichekauskas is ;till
going to install gas in his new
home.

Hopes Revived
The new development again
raised hopes which had sunk to
the lowest ebb since the search
began last Thursday night. The
spectre of what could be the
worst crash in Canadian aviation
history had haunted weary search
workers at northern headquarters
here.
The big four-motored aircratt
disappeared after last reporting
by radio over Snag, Y. T., 200
miles northwest of here. It was
on a flight from Anchorage,
Alaska, to Great Falls, Mont. All
aboard were Americans.

air crash in Canada occurred
July 24, 1948, when 28 persons
lost their lives on Gaspe peninsula
In eastern Canada.
Temperatures yesterday In the
search region hit a low of 18
below zero at Snag and six below
at Whitehorse. Search command

was down between these two
points.
Similar temperatures are ex
pected in the region today, with
