Hospital Shows For Veterans Continue Despite Fold-Up Of USO Frt., Fab. 24, 1930 THo Nv-Rvlw, Rosebura, Or. II By WARREN MACK U S O. h folded but the show muit 10 on. Sound trite to most of ui, but to patients in more than 100 veteran bospitali throushout the nation thii news is good news. Earlier th' week. Veterans Hos pital Camp shows offered the first of the 1950 entertainment series by presenting to patients of the Rose burg Veterans hospital the produc tion, "Breezing Along." In all, the touring troupe gave three local per formances during its one-day stop i in HoseDurg. H. K Minsky, business manager for the group, said "VHCS" would not go out of existence, nor would hospitalized ex-Gls find themselv s without top-notch, traveling enter tainers because of the untimely death of United Service organiza tions. This body, known to us all as U S O., formerly paid the bills for veterans entertainment troupes. But suddenly, U.S.O. found itself unable to carry on financially. Veterans Hospital Camp shows, a subsidiary group, went ahead with plans for the 1950 season and only recently received encourage ment from the theatrical and movie industries. Minsky said his bosses ' had met with representatives of the two Industries and had been told not to worry for the remainder of 1950. The boys would still get tkeir entertainment. And good entertainment it is, judging from the show which ap peared here. Fourteen entertain ers, all talented and experienced persons, made up the group. A total of five acts ("all standard; this is no training ground for vaudeville") plus a musical combo were pre sented, ranging from a sany pro fessor of magic to a comedy dance team. Although "Breezing Along" and the other eight teams now on the road may get some compensation from movies and the theater, many of the bills will continue to be paid bv contributions of the public. In dividual performers are paid a flat salary from which they must pay everything except transportation expenses. ' Three weeks from ow, another troupe will play the Roseburg Veterans hospital; three weeks after that, still another show will be staged. Each unit tours a 28.000 mile circuit of veterans hospitals in 43 states, providing free, profes sional entertainment. I3A ICIZ TV IT fi !WTAI? j mi nm v-W Kir 4 ,rl ' J 3 1 ''.'! : i- ( I , .

Appointments For Chest X-ray Will Ease Task While not entirely necessary, ap pointments for chest X-rays are desirable when the mobile unit visits Douglas county next week, according to an announcement from the local Tuberculosis and Health association office. The appointment system makes it easier for the X-ray unit offi cials to schedule their work and also prevents unnecessary delays for the individuals.

Groups of men or groups of worn ' are pre ferred to mixed groups, since they must be segregated as they enter the X-ray unit trailer. Two units will open in the county Monday: At the high school in Drain, starting at t a. m., and con tinuing to 5 p.m., and at the Pres byterian church in Roseburg be tween the same hours. The unit re mains at Drain until Wednesday, when it goes on to Oakland. The unit at Roseburg will be here Mon day and Tuesday only, and go then to Yoncalla and thence to Sutherlin. While Glendale and Myrtle Creek will be missed in the unit's visit at this time, and only a brief stay is scheduled at Roseburg, addi tional dates, to complete the inten sified county coverage, will be scheduled sometime this summer.

OP) Democratic Senate leaders wound up today with even more authority than they had asked to investigate charges by Senator McCarthy (P Wis) that a Communist spy ring has been operating in the State department. Republicans succeeded in gettin the Democrats to accept several additions to the original inquiry resolution. These addition would give the inquiry group considerably more power.- McCarthy touched off the Inquiry by a series of speeches at Repub lican meetings across the country, charging that card-carrying Com munist party workers are employ ed in the State department.

Hosebdairg Poiiry Phone 53 We Invite You to Inspect Our Plant at Any Time Food Prices Drop, Other Needs Rise To Record Tops WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. 0W -Consumer prices declined 2.S per cent during 1949 and at the start of this year were four per cent under their postwar peak, the Commerce department reported. While food prices had fallen farthest from their crest, they con tinued to be "high in relation to those for other commodities when compared with the prewar situa tion in either 1939 or 1926," the de partment said. Clothing prices to the consumer took the biggest proportional de cline, 7.3 per cent, in 1949, but were off only 7.11 per cent from their postwar highs, by department calculation. House furnishing concentrated practically all of their postwai price decline (.7 per cent into 1949. The department noted that con sumer prices rose to new highs in other respects rent moving up 2.9 per cent; fuel, electricity and re frigeration 14 per cent, and other costs, classed as "miscellaneous,'' up 1 per cent. Food costs to the consumer, while down 9 per cent from their postwar high, were off only 3 8 per cent in 1949 although "prices of food at the farm" slumped IS per cent. The spread In the drops In prices at the farm and to the consumer were held by department analysis, however, to be "approximately in line." "Changes in retail prices normal ly follow farm prices only after a lag, and the amplitude of variation is usually smaller because of the sluggishness of distribution and processing costs," they said. While consumer prices went down only about 2 per cent last year, they got a break on improvements in quality and in the increased availability of less expensive items, the analysts said. . Fatally Wounded Man Suspects "Ku Kluxers" PELL CITY, Ala., Feb. 2-UP An unmasked gang shot a white storekeeper to death at his home I Wednesday night just after he told a son: "I think the Ku Kluxers are aft-1 er me." j The victim, 39-year-old Charlie Hurst, fell fatally wounded as he ; snatched a rifle from a son and fired three shots at his assailants.
