Playing their rolea with con
fident air of thorough enjoyment,
membera of the Roseburg high
achool tenior class presented "Our
Heart Were Young and Gay" by
Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily
Kimrough Friday evening in the
lenior high achool gymnasium.
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

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. The present nationwide un
employment inaurance guards
against a failure in public pur
chasing. 4. We now have a successful,
operating public worka syslem
which was planned in preparation
for post-war unemployment.
5. G.I. insurance premium pay
menls and the maturing of war
savings bonds will go into trade
channels, thus boosting business.
Introduced By iaStudent
Dr. Gilbert was introduced by L.
J. "Butch" Thompson, vice-president
of the Lower Umpqua Cham
ber of Commerce and' one-time
student of the former economics
professor.
Preceding Dr. Gilbert's address
were brief talks by well-known res
idents of the coastal city. Howard
Hinsdale, former chamber of com
merce president and vice-president
of the Port of Umpqua commission,
traced the history of the port de
velopment and outlined some of
the proposed projects in developing
off shore commerce and harbor
entrance, aa well as other port
Srojects.
tudents Honored
Six awards were made to grade
school students of Reedsport and

Truman Ponders
Natural Gas Bill
Signing, Veto
WASHINGTON. 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.

Sen. Ferguson
Calls For Talks
On U.S. Policy
WASHINGTON, April 1. 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.
