Red Cross Work's
Value Stressed In
Talk At Lions Club
Too often when we contribute
toward charitable orgnitiom
we cin't see whre the money ii
being spent, Itated Louise Hayes,
Red Cross volunteer worker,
speaking before the Roseburg
Lions club Thursdsy night on the
forthcoming Red Cross campaign,
starting Msr. 1.
Mrs. Haves orefaced her talk
with a brief account of her own
experience in Ashevllle, N. Car.,
where she wss sble to see the bene
fits derived from .the Lions own
sponsored sight conservation pro
gram. She said she saw tne Diina
made, h&DDV bv their opportunity
to work in a place provided for
them by Lions International.
Four-fiftha of the Red Cross
contributions remain in the coun
ty, while one-fifth goes to the na
tional for major disaster work and
such program! as the growing
blood bsnk program, she ex
plained. The money that remains at home
can be divided into two parts:
disaster before it happens, such
as the swimming program of wa
ter aafety and life ssving. and dis
aster at the doorstep, such as aid
to distressed families, veterans
nd others in emergency, and the
Veterana hospital program.
Aid Te Vats Stressed
She discussed briefly the work
the Red Cross provides at the hos
pital and told of the importance
of it being there. Many of the pa
tients do not have parents, or their
parents live too far away to visit
them. In aome cases parents even
look upon the mentally disessed as
a disgrace and avoid visitation.
That it where the Red Croas comes
in. It cannot take the place of the
family, but it can be the patients'
friend, Mrs. Hayea concluded.
The Liona were also entertained
by Clyde Moore's Roseburg junior
high school beginners reed claas,
which played aeveral aelections.
Solo numbers were given by Car
men Ford, playing the flute, and
by Janice Mauro, playing the clari
net. They were aicompanied by
Mollis Fullerton.
The olher instrumentalists were
Larry Kauenmeyer, Kenneth Ov
erton, Clayre Carter, Elaine Scud
der, Janice Austin, Sid Jack and
Elaine Olson.

Loyalty Files Demand

from an executive department. But
he forecast that the investigsting
subcommittee will work harmoni
ously with the State department.
Mr. Truman told his news con
ference yesterday he will coop
erate in every way possible to dis
prove whst he ssid were the fslse
chsrges msde by McCarthy,
McCarthy jumped on that atate
ment as an indicstion that the
President ia prejudging the case.
As to the denisl of the files,
McCarthy aaid in a statement he
thinks the people "will be a mated
at the arrogance with which the
President ia serving notice that he
and he alone is running the coun-
try " . .
Senator Wherry aald that the
foreign relatione group ought to
subpoena Secretary of State Ache
son to force him to produce the
loyalty records.
If Acheaon doesn t comply, the
Nebraska aenator aaid. he could
be cited for contempt of the Sen
ate, and the case could be carried
to the courts to decide how much
power Congress haa to demand
records.
Mr. Truman told his news con
ference it's pretty hsrd to serve
a subpoena on the President, and
some Republicsns apparently
agreed.
Senator Bricker (R-Ohlo) com
mented: "The President's got the U. 8.
Army behind him and the supreme
court's only got i bailiff."
It waa obvioua, however, that
most of the Republicans believe
Mr. Truman will find himself at
a political disadvantage if he re
fuses to mske available the filea
which McCarthy aaya will prove
hia charges there are Communists
in the Stste department.

For Safety Survey
SALEM, Feb. 24 Governor
DJglss McKsy's industrial safety
advisory board haa designs ted six
Oregon cities as areas for a sur
vey for industrial accidents, the
executive department announced
Thuraday.
Cities selected are Tillamook,
Rjeeburg, La Grange, Bend, Prine
ville and Klamath Falls.
Purpose of the surveys is to cre
ate local aafety committeea to co
operate with the central committee
in its program to reduce the num

E' tablishment of specific courses
In ssfety training also is being
considered.
British Laborites Win
Plurality In Commons

heard from were in traditionally
labor strongholds.
The race waa so close, however,
that many leaders on both sides
speculated on the possibility that
neither party would be able to
muster a working majority in the
new psrlisment. That would force
s new election in the nesr future.
Morgsn Phillips, genersl secre
tary of the Labor party, told an
interviewer the laborites "need a
majority of 30 seats to function
effectively aa government."
A Conservative spokesman said
there seemed a good chance that
the winning party, whichever it
was, would be lucky to scrspe home
with a msjority of ten.
If this happened another election
would be unavoidable.
Ususllr in these circumstsnces
there sre minority political groups
which csn be persuaded to support
one side or the other.
But this time the Liberals, third
strongest psrty in Britain, were
making a sorry showing in seats
won snd the "splinter" groups in
cluding Communists were com
pletely obliterated.
Prime Minister Attlee, Foreign
Minister Bevin, Deputy Prime Min
ister Herbert Morrison snd all
other cabinet members, with two
or three exceptions, were re-elected
to parliament.

aurance program covering home
repair and modernization. As the
bill atsnds it provides for sn addi
tional $250,000,000 of insurance for
such purposes. Previously it celled
for $500,000,000.
Cut in hslf, too, wss a pro
gram calling for direct government
loans to velersns unsble to ob
tain money from bsnks. The com
mittee decided on $150,000,000
worth of 25-year home losns at four
percent interest, instead of $300,
000,000. The committee left intact sec
tions of the bill providing for:
1. Federsl losns totaling $300,
000,000 to colleges snd universities
for student and faculty housing,
Thnse loans could be repaid over
a 40-year period at 2V percent
interest.
2. Reconstruction Finance cor
poration loana totaling $25,000,000
to aid in the distributing and mar
keting prefabricated housea built
through RFC production financing.
The House bsnking committee hss
approved a bill providing for the
full $2,000,000,000 in government
backed loana to cooperatives, and
for 1 substantially bigger FHA in
surance program than the Senate
bill would authorise. Whatever bill
the Senate may eventually pass
would hsve to be adjusted with the
House version.
Low's Crackdown Halts
All Florida Gambling
(Continued from page One)
Wednesday gambling in their
areaa had slowed to a mere trickle.
Gambling in Dade county came
to a., abrupt halt before governor
Warren paid his surpise visit to
I' crime commission of grester
Mismi. This indicated that the
"word" has been spread among
th operators thst the heat ia on.
How long the restricted activity
would continue also waa a matter
of conjecture. Rut one thing was
sure, the winter visitor with a
burning desire to take a fling at
chance waa having a hard time
finding a place to rpend his money.

ties hsve the same problem.
"If this contempt ia established
in appropriate trial, then it ia the
view of the government that the
full power and majesty of this
court be used to get the miners
bsck on the job.
Hopkins objected to having the
trial start tomorrow.
Judge Keech then set it for Mon
day. The judge denied Hopkins' for
mal motion that the civil and crim
inal contempt charges be dropped
and the proceeding be ended.
Union attorneys had argued the
court had no right to issue back
to work orders to the miners.

richmond B. Keech that the strike
was a rr-ult of individual action
by the 370,000 soft coal diggers.

Lewis, aa preaident of the Mine

Judge Keech has issued a tem
porary restrsining irder against a
strike on Feb. 11. The order, once
r "nded, is good until March 3.
V '" negotiations toward ending
the great strike apparently bogged
down once more after a brief pe

St. I mills and coal-burning rail
roads were hard, hit. Householdera
ran out of fuel for heating.
Still the miners clung doggedly
to their "no contract, no work"
stand, indicating strongly that even
I- atals would hsve to get by
without coal until Lewis and the
soft coal operators agree to a new
contract.
Mounting demands for ne -residential
action brought this ."aws
conference response from Presi
dent Truman yesterdsy: It's in the
ha..ds of the courts.
Figures from the Bureau of Mines
indicated that the dispute has
cost close to 200,000,000 tons of fuel
since mid-June. Thst's about fpur
