Marvin Mayo, business represen tative for the local teamsters' union, said today he had no com ment on the matter, pending more meetings nlanned for the near fu ture. He announced yesterday that all local dairies except Umpqua dairy had signed an agreement with the union. He intimated ne gotiations with Umpqua dairy are still pending.

The representative said that Can adians can undersell- American lumber mills because, by counting devaluation of the Canadian dol lar, the wage they pay workers is 97.5 cents an hour, compared to $1.45 in Washington and Oregon He said using tramp steamers fur ther gives the Canadians an ad vantage of $6 a thousand feet in freight rates.

Play grounds alone are not enough to occupy a growing boy. He must learn self-created activities, said Jensen. Following the singing of two vo cal numbers by Warren Mack, News-Review reporter, Bill Tipton, Junior Chamber of Commerce dis trict vice - president, introduced Kelly. Kelly first praised the scout pro gram, and stressed the importance of youth training so that the boys of today may meet the problems of the nation when they become men. One of the chief differences between success and failure lies in the youth's training, he declar ed. Many people who fail, he said, do so not because of a lack of enthusaism, but because of a lack of steadfastness of purpose. He quoted a poem to the effect that it is bettr for a ship to do down fighting than to drous to death on some sheltered shore. He then gave a short discourse on the fact findings of the Hoover commission relative to the tremen dous cost of taxation. His talk was on the same line as that on which he has spoken before other civic groups in Koseburg recently. He stressed that our nation is "on the last mile to collectivism," and warned against its dangers. If Russian economy was in such a startling situation as our today, we could sit back and not worry," he declared. He urged that the Hoover commission report be sup ported, in an effort to eliminate waste in government spending. sxn mem cotursroHomair low WS1AUATION IXJtA L0CKW00D MOTORS Rose. and Oak St. Phone 80 HOME TOWN NEWS "THE WIFE MUST BE ASLEEP BY NOW . . .

"Man needs the kind of help which, in my expeii ence, only God can give," says the scientist, adding, "For me, this is no academic statement, but an experimental truth." The film is one of a series in cluding "Voice of the Deep" and "God of Creation," produced by Moody Bible institute of Chicago.

Officials said close to $400,000 was investited on the basis of that promise. While early investors re portedly got their promised prof its, others were left with losses of over $200,000 when the scheme blew up. Mrs. O'Mahoney said Ambrose "didn't make a dime," to her knowledge, out of the dealings, which resulted in his ouster from the postoffice department. Officials said they understood Ambrose used postoffice station cry, but they said no government funds were involved in any way. No charges have been filed, they added. Reporters trying to reach Am brose found that his telephone num ber is not listed, and there were reports it had beer, removed from the phone book after his wife was besieged by calls from investcrs seeking their money. About three years a?o, a House subcommittee brought out at hear ings that Ambrose, while on leave from the department, had been publishing a private newsletter which he sold to postmasters for $10 a year. Since his name was still carried on the department's personnel rolls, committee members objected" that postmasters might feel obliged to subscribe to the newsletters. Ambrose thereupon was ordered to suspend the publication. Ambrose is in his late 30s. He comes from Winchester, Mass., and now lives in a Virginia suburb of Washington with his wife and five children. He was not immediately available for comment.

Douglas Settlement Looms In Coal Mine Strike (Continued from page One) could speed up its report to the President "if one is necessary." He did not elaborate on that statement. President Truman has asked for a report by Monday. The board had some informal sessions with Lewis and the coal operators yesterday. Strike Impact Felt As the board swung into action, the strike of 370,000 United Mine workers was being felt at points all over the nation. More than 25,000 other workers were forced into idleness as coal burning factories ran out of fuel. Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois announced that the state's four teachers colleges, with an enroll ment of 7,200 would close tonight until Feb. 27 "or until such time as coal supplies are made available." The Pennsylvania railroad said "it has been necessary and will continue to be necessary to appro priate some coal" from shipments being carried from the mines to wholesalers. , The railroad,' one of six which had furloughed employes, said: "We have only a week's supply of coal on hand and it will be neces sary to make certain additional curtailments next week if there is a wholesale suspension of coal mining this week." The Wheeling Steel Corp., said it will cut production 50 percent Friday. The soft coal miners walked out this week after Lewis rejected a fact finding peace plan which Mr. Truman had offered. Defiance Intimated That forced the President to in voke the emergency provisions of that Taft-Hartley act, even though he has fought for the act's repeal. The Taft-Hartley board of inquiry Mr. Truman named cannot recom mend a settlement. But the Presi dent must wait for its report be fore directing Attorney General McGrath to petition the court for an injunction. That may touch off an unprece dented showdown between the miners and the government. Lewis has hinted that the diggers either will defy a court back-to-work or der or will lift their tools very slowly if forced to work. After 80 days they would be free to strike again. Mr. Truman could then ask for new legislation to cope with such a situation. If the President gets an injunc tion and the UMW fails to obey it, the union Wjiild be subject to a contempt action. Two previous contempt citations have cost Lewis and his union $2,130,000. Lewis has never made known his contract demands. But agree ments he has signed with mines producing about one-tenth of the nation's soft coal provide a 95-cent-day wage boost to a total of $15 a day and a 15-cent boost in the present 20-cents-a-ton royalty paid into the miners' welfare fund.

But first it dyes them so they can't be used for hu man food. ' Meanwhile American brokers go to Canada for their stocks. Segari said Idaho potatoes would cost him $4.40 a 100 pounds deliv ered to New Orleans. He would not divulge what the Canadian pota toes of equal grade cost him but said he was selling them at $4 a 100 pounds in job lots after paying an import duty of 75 cents a 100 pounds. Water-freight charges from Canadian ports to New Orleans run 60 cents a 100 pounds. Surplus To Feed Livestock Last week the government an nounced in Washington it would dump between 25,000,000 and 40,000,000 bushels of potatoes it ac quired in price support operations. Secretary of Agriculture Brannan said they would be disposed of in the areas where they were grown He authorized their sale at one cent a 100 pounds to farmers who are expected to use them for live stock feed or fertilizer. Originally they cost the govern ment an average of $1.25. La3t week the government cut the sup port price on the 1950 crop to $1.01 a bushel, an immediate drop of nine cents. The government has about 50, 000,000 bushels of potatoes acquired through purchases under the law requiring support of farm com modity prices. Present law re quires support at 60 percent ot parity the price the law says is fair to both potato growers and potato eaters.

Because that is just what hap pened. And ,the sensation, says Gale, is "particularly gratifying." Gale, a New York businessman, was adjudged yesterday the sole heir of the multi-million dollar es tate of the late aged recluse, Mary Bullock Powers. Miss Powers, who had "lived the last quarter century in a strange, shut-away-from-the-world solitude, died without a will 20 months ago, and set off a transatlantic scram ble for her millions. Men and women in this country and abroad 173 of them put in thier bids for the money, claim ing various degrees of kinship. Two men claimed to be illegitimate sons. After months of hearings, Sur rogate (Judge) William T. Col lins sorted through the claims, fin ally eliminating all of them except that of Gale, a first cousin once removed. His paternal grandmother was the sister of Miss Powers' father . Miss Powers, who was 72 when she died, lived her last 26 years shut in a midtown hotel room. She saw almost no one except the waiter who delivered her one meal a day, the hotel manager who col lected the rent three times yearly, and her physician.
