Before a large and enthusaistic audience, the young actors showed good results of the weeks of prac tice on their part and the work of their director, Marie Dii-oreto. Pat Mears and Jan Elliott were capti vating in their interpretation of the dramatic Cornelia and drolly humorous Emily. The dance panto mine of Emily in their hotel room and Cornelia's monologue in the last acene provided momenta of special hilarity. Simple stage settings made a good background for the amusing antici of the two romantic 19-year-1 i.

Stephens St. Reedsport Man, Woman Honored By Chamber (Continued from page One) will attend the national jamboree this year. Dr. Cilbart Main Spaakar sion was Dr. James Gilbert, dean emrntua of economic!. Univeriity of Oregon, who apoke on " 29 and 49 A Comparison and a ton- Irani." Dean Gilbert traced the trait factors which led up to the panic of 1929 and the ensuing depression and compared them to business and economic developments of the past few years. One of the evils which he said occurred in both years was install ment buying, which he termed "a stimulant and not a tonic," to busi ness evils. However, he was opti mistic of the outlook for the future. Although a recession will be noted, he forecast a big normal level of prosperity for 19S0, one that will be only siightly less than was noted in 1948. Safeguarding Factors He said the following factors will tend to safeguard against a repeat of the crash of 1929 and a serious 1 drDrrssion : higher reerve levels and federally insured deposits 3.

April 1. t.PV President Truman was confrwted by a aharp division among Demo crats today as he considered wheth er to sign or veto a natural as bill which squeaked through the Houre by a two-vote margin. Brushing aside opposition vies of "a grab" by big interests, the House last night sent the bill to Mr. Truman by a 176 to 174 vole. The measure would prohibit ihe Federal Power commission (FPC) from fixing the price of gas deliv ered to pipelines by independent producers. The bill was approved only after Speaker Rayburn I D.-Tex.) made a personal appeal for ita passage. "In my opinion," he said, "this Mil will not raise the price of natural gas to any consumer by one red cent." But other Democrats shouted hat the measure would take an extra $100,000,000 a year from consum ers, principally in the north and east, and hand it over to special in terests. "Horse thieves have been hanged for lesser crimes!" cried Rep. Dingell (D.-Mich.). Senator Douglas (D.-III.) has de manded that Mr. Truman veto the bill. However, Rep. Priest of Ten nessee, assistant Democratic floor leader, said the Federal Power commission, in requesting the leg islation, had informed him it was in accord wia'i the President's pro gram. The Senate passed it last Wednesday. 44 to 38. In the final House vote, more Democrats voted against the meas ure than voted for it; it was sup ported by 97 of Mr. Truman's party members, opposed by 116. The bill experienced a perilous moment before its passage. With the vote still unannounced official ly, opponents had a lead of six votes, 178 to 172. But four mem bers who had balloted against it changed their votes. They were Reps. Shafer (Mich ), Wilson (Ind.) and Latham (N. Y.). Republicans, and Moulder (Mo.), Democrat.

CP) A suggestion that President Tru man could salvage the nation's bi partisan foreign policy by inviting Republicans to join in decisions on world problems was advanced to day by Senator Ferguson (R Mich.) . Ferguson's proposal was made to reporters as other Republicans pulled out the stops in a bitter counter attack on the President's assertion that at least three GOP senators are sabotaging foreign policy by attacks on the state department. Calls Far Sh.wd.wn One of these, Senator Bridges of New Hampshire, called for a show down. American policy "is pre sumably aimed at Russia," Bridges said, adding: "I believe it is time to tell the American people the truth about this policy and how we are losing the cold war." Ferguson said there is no reason why the President couldn't call in Republicans as well as Democrats "when there is a decision of major importance in the offing." "These policies should be dis cussed fully with senators," he said. "Even with some of those opposed to them. Certainly the j secretary of state could talk to sen- iui iuuui infill, mii m uiiie. President himself." Discussion Lack Mated Ferguson said that until recently he has found very little disposition on the part of administration offi cials to discuss problems with Re publicans in advance of decisions. Bridges' statement was made in response to Mr. Truman's asser tion at a Key West, Fla., news conference Thursday that Bridges and Senators Wherry (R-Neb) and McCarthy (R-Wis) were helping the Kremlin by attacks on the state department.
