Film Boycott Urged The Albuaueraue. N. M.. Minis tcrial alliance called on citizens to boycott 'Stromboli' because ot what it called "glamorizing and sensationalizing of adultery." In Abilene, Tex., the board of censors asked exhibitors not to show "Stromboli." Sioux City, la., Catholics were asked to pass up the film by Bishop Joseph Mullcr because of what he called "con jugal infidelity." An Indiana chain of six theaters announced it would not show "Stromboli." And in Los Angeles, the membership of the Trinity Methodist church voted a resolution banning any movie star ring Miss Bergman. The San Diego, Calif., Daily Journal said it was withholding publication of an Ingrid Bergman romance serial because of reader protests. Despite the outbursts of public opinion, a spokesman for RKO stu dio said: "No comment. We're pretty busy getting ready to 10 lease the picture." Offices of the Motion Picture association here also hsd no comment. The picture takes its name from the volcanic mediterranean island of Stromboli, where Rojsellini and Miss Berg man were on location for months. Liberty Vs. Socialism New Slogan Of G. O. P. (Continued from page One) tion vital to our security has been made available to alien agents and persons of questionable loyalty." "Fair Dosl" Blastad , The policy declaration, approved by Republicans in the Senate and House and by members of the party's national committee, bore down on the Truman administra tion's "fair deal" with these words: "Basic American principles are threatened by the administration's program for a planned economy modeled on the socialist govern ments of Europe, including price and wage control, rationing, social ized medicine, regional authorities and the Brannan plan with its controls, penalties, fines and jail sentences. Bosh, Democrats replied general ly, with Senator Humphrey (D. Minn.) accusing the Republicans flatly of trying to steal the admini stration's program. He said this was proved by the GOP policy declaration which said: "We hold that government can use Its just powers to foster na tional health, promote real securi ty for the aged, develop sound agricultural and labor-management policies and advance civil rights." Several Senators Distant The. Republicans approved their nlatform in time for it to be scanned at a $1 a basket Lincoln day dinner in a local arena. GOP National Chairman Guy G. Gabriclson told the gathering that from this night on the Republican party is going to be the strong est, most active and vigorous op position parly that has ever been known in the history of our coun try." There were 20 speakers at the monster rally, each limited to 45 seconds. Attendance was esti mated at 11,000 ror a show that in cluded everything from operatic selections to band music. While the GOP platform was fin ished in plenty of time for the big meeting, approval was not unanimous. Senator Lodge (R.-Mass.) said he and "four or five others" voted against it in a conference of all Republican senators, The harp is believed to have been developed from the twanging of the strings on bows used for war and hunting. ,f)..:.;.:;:.....--:.:::::v.: ' LftSW Y 1 s r n i in WHY WATIRS AM DIFFERENT Chlurination, iron content, seasonal variations in hardness, and the pres. ence of different minerals greatly af fect the brewing value of waters. To maintain the constant purity and del icate flavor, the same fine qualities the year around, the Olympia Brew ing Company uses only the rare water Jrom its famous subterraneaa wells at Tumwater, Washington. Volunteers Not Meant For Rap In Fire Story Several c'alls have been received by the News-Review regarding i front page story in Monday's pa per which appeared derogatory to Roseburg's volunteer firemen. Although the story explained the misleading first paragraph, several complaints have been received as to use of the word "volunteer." By "self-appointed volunteer fire men," this paper meant those sightseeing kibitzers who tie up traffic, offer unhumorous sugges tions and otherwise hinder opera tions of the Roeburg fire depart ment and Its 29 volunteer fire men. The department's volunteers are elected, not self-appointed. Their training consists of regular month ly meetings, special weekly train ing classes and other meetings and general training sessions. Coal Miners Show Defiance Of T-H Law (Continued from page One) miners in eastern Pennsylvania and about 30,000 bituminous (soft coal) miners covered by new con tracts. It is the first nation-wide coal walkout since Dec. 1. That one ended a few hours after it started on orders of UMW Chief John L. Lewis. Word that President Truman re luctantly had invoked the Taft Hartley act in the 10-month-old coal dispute had little effect on the embittered miners. They have termed this a showdown ight in their battle with the coal operators for more pay, and an increase in welfare fund payments. The president s action included naming a fact finding panel to in vestigate the drawn out contract dispute. The next step is for the attorney general to ask a federal court order directing the union to get its miners back on the job for 70 or 80 days. Lewis and the union were fined $1,420,000 in 1948 for defying a court back-to-work order. Contempt Risk Factd ilcfusal to restore production alt er a court injunction might put the miners' union and Lewis in con tempt of court again. They have been fined a total of $2,130,000 for two earlier offenses. If the court followed Justice T. Alan Goldsborough's yardstick for fixing contempt fines against Lewis, the'amount would be dou bled. The major task on enforcing an injunction would rest with the Jus tice department. Government lawyers pointed out that the law can't force a miner to work, but he can be punished for persuading other miners not to work. That's where the local and district union leaders, as well as Lewis, might be held liable. Goldsborough ruled that the un ion Itself was responsible for the concerted acts of its members, and h termed it "ridiculous" not to take notice of the "wink, hod or code" which touched off that uni form action. Lowlt May Not Cooporato Any hope of peace without an Injunction showdown seemed to rest with the three members of the Truman board. They are sea soned arbitrators, with a record of successes behind them. There was no assurance from Lewis that he would cooperate with the board. A UMW spokesman said he had no comment on that ques tion. Senator Brewster (R-Me) said Mr. Truman had pointed out to him in a White House visit 10 days ago that there is no penalty for resuming a strike after an 80- day injunction. Brewster noted that the presi dent is authorized to take the dis pute to Congress if it persists after the court order expires. t'erhaps the (latt-liartiey) act will need strengthening on that score if the emergency Is as grave at the end of 80 days," the Mains senator said. Water is 770 times heavier than air Although chemists call water HjO, meaning two parts hydro gen and one part oxygen, water existi in several forms. As a liquid, it is 770 times heavier than air; yet as vapor, water has only about 62 of the weight of air. ' 7f The Weather U, 8.

Origin Of Dispute The original dispute began when dairy farmers, members of the Umpqua Valley Milk Producers association, asked that tne price mey are paid lor their milk by dis tributors be set at $6 per hundred weight. Prior to Nov. 1. farmers received $6.12 per cwt. but on that date the price was dropped to $5.50 per cwt, the new minimum set by uic smic iiiuk uiarjieunK aamuus tration. . The milk producers later af filiated with the Roseburg Central Labor council, giving as their reason, an opportunity for more oargaining rights. An Associated Press dlsoatch from Grants Pass said milk con signed to Umpqua Dairy was being held there today became of re- ported labor trouble. Sullivan declared no labor trou ble had developed as yet, that the country was "full of milk' 'and that no shortage was foreseen. Mayo said later this morning that the Umpqua dairy was asked to appear Dec. 7, 199, before Jie the central labor council and show reason why it should not be placed on the "do-no-patronize" list. He said the owners failed to appear ana sent no representative, tne dairy was then placed on the list and has remained there since that time. Carl Binder of Elkton, president of the milk producers association, announced last month that the Umpqua Dairy refused to recognize his group of dairy rarmers as a bargaining unit. According to Mayo, "it is oniy a matter of oolicy" that this associa tion, now affiliated with the labor council, should be supported by the stronger group. Telephone Union Stays Call For General Strike (Continued from page One) tracts would not permit them to join in the first walkout. Hint of Conarait Action In his appeal for more time, Clung gravely warned that me con sequences of a telephone strike may not be limited to a temporary inconvenience to the public. "Many of the freedoms -which hnlh sides nresentlv eniov. and are enjoyed by employers and un ions, generally, wilt be endangered bv a demonstration of an absence of sound and stable manager-labor relations in the critical commum cations industry." he said. This appeared to be a hint at the possibility of congressional leg islation aimed at the telephone in dustry and perhaps others. CORRECTION The bid-opening date concerning construction of a grade school build ing for district 71, Melrose, Elga- rose and Cleveland districts, is to be Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the older school building. Yesterday's story in connection with the construction erroneously reported te date as Feb. 10. CRAFT CLASS CANCELED The YMCA craft class sched uled for tonight has been can. celed. The class will be held nxt Tuesday night at the Methodist church at 7:30 p.m. This month's craft work is linoleum-block printing. the Water Junior High " 1" Sets Assembly On Giant 'Eye' The National Assemblies of Los Angeles offer a special treat when they bring the noted expert on the 200-inch telescope of Palomar and master story-tclier, Robert Edgar, to Roseburg junior high school Wednesday, Feb. 8, at 11 a.m. The public is invited to this spe cial assembly, Principal R. R. Brand said today. There ia no ad mission charge. Edgar, a young Australian, will tell tne story of the great Palomar telescope which has been in the limelight so much recently. His talk will be illustrated with models and pictures. He will take his audience on a "visit" to the observatory to show the magnitude of the undertaking which produced the world's great est "eye." The giant "eye" will reach a billion light years into space and bring the moon within 25 miles of us, figuratively speak ing, the National Assemblies or ganization states. Copco Franchise On New Basis Proposed (Continued from page One) a special committee, headed by Percy Croft, is incorporated in the city zoning ordinance. An ordinance amending the present city law to incorporate this change, requiring that garages must be built not less than four feet from the side lines in resi dential zones, and increasing the available space on a lot for build ing construction, provided set-back lines are conformed to, will be presented to the council at the next meeting. A public hearing on the matter will be held the first Monday in March, prior to final action on the ordinance. W. Roseburg Zones Fixed The council accepted a report of a special committee on the zoning of West Roseburg, which recommended the following zone boundaries: the property on either side of Harvard to the average rear property line except the com munity hospital property, would be business zone; all area north of Harvard from the rear of the property lines off Harvard would be residential class 2, except that area east of Umpqua avenue and north of Umpqua Ave. E., whicn would be class 1; all area south of the rear property line on Har vard, west from the old city limits to Wharton Ave., and including a small area west of the south end of Wharton would be residential No. 2, and the area from Wharton Ave. west to the west city limits would be residential class 1. Considerable discussion centered around the opening of Umpqua Ave. E. to connect with Boden Ave. and Riverside drive in Laurelwood upon the written re quest of Robert Bellows and Dr. Donald R. Gibbs. No action was taken by the council, but the street committee and city manager were instructed to make a study of the matter. Water Problem Studied The same committee was in structed to investigate the possi bility of securing adequate water for fire protection in West Rose-, burg areas now served only by two-inch water mains. City fire hoses will not reach some of the area, including that on Umpqua Ave. E.. from the oresent fire plugs on Harvard street. New fire plugs cannot be installed in these areas until four-inch water mains are put in. Councilman Frank Ashley, West and John Hart were named to study the need for a city ordinance requiring physical examinations for cooks, waitresses and other food handlers. Gasoline Bids Submitted The following oil companies sub mitted bids to supply gasoline to the city: Richfield $.1973 regular. $.2173 ethyl; United Petroleum, $.21 regular and $.23 ethvl; Union $.2075 regular and $.2325 ethyl; Shell $.1958 regular and $.2158 ethyl; General Petroleum $.216 regular and $.236 ethyl; Associated $.2024 regular and $.2224 ethvl: Signal $.202 regular and $.222 ethyl, Texas Co., $.2099 regular and $.2299 ethyl. Because of other allowable discounts listed in the bids, they were referred to the finance committee for study and awarding of a contract to the low est bidder. A motion to alter the bicycle ordinance, requiring an annual license for bicycles was approved The present ordinance requires only that a bicycle be licensed, and the fee is 25 cents. The council split over whether to make the annual fee 25 cents or 50 cents, with Mayor Flegel casting a vote in favor of the 50-cent figure. How ever, no final action can be taken until an ordinance is drafted and the figure will then be inserted by vote of the council. An ordinance was approved adopting previously recommended ward changes, to include newly annexed areas within city wards An emergency clause was attached so that the ordinance would be effective prior to the coming pri mary election. An ordinance was also passed vacating a portion of Claire St. New Fireman Named The resignation of Russell Wes- Let Us Help You With Your Banking Needs ...

Blue-coated Inspectors handed out 172 summonses yesterday to persons caught dropping paper, sweeping refuse onto the sidewalk, or leaving garbage cans uncover ed. The maximum penalty Is a $500 fine and a year in jail, but the first offenders are expected to get off considerably easier when they appear in court Thursday. The drive so far applies only to the central section of Manhattan between 14th and 72nd streets, where 4,800 new wire wastebaskets have been set up. But it probably will be extended. - Burglar Eludes Guards In Drop Of Six Stories . NEW YORK, Feb. 7 4P) A burglar, trapped in an office build ing just off Fifth avenue, escaped ftom guards early today by leaping six stories into a heavy netting over a skylight. He then made his way to the street from a second-story exten sion. The unidentified burglar had been seized by two guards of the Holmes Electric Protective com pany. They had rushed to an eighth-floor textile company office at 44 West 28th Street when an alarm went off at 12:30 a m (EST). The burglar grappled with the guards, broke loose and made his daring leap from an open window. Search of the office showed that nothing had been distrubed. Family Deserter Back After 34 Years; Jailed WARRINGTON, England, Feb. 7 IB It was 1916 when Edward Williams walked out on his wife and five kids.
