2 Th Newt-Review, Roicburg, Ore Fri., June 23, 1950 ENUMERATION AGAIN New Roseburg Directory Being Compiled May Be Completed In September Enumerator! ire hard at work again in Roseburg and the imme diate vicinity but they are not census takers. Six enumerators are now engaged in gathering information for a new directory for the city of Roseburg, to be published by T. W. Salis bury and company of Portland. The workers are asking such questions as name, address, occu each family and the number of children under 18. Salisbury, in Roseburg to supervise the project, figures it will take about a month to gather this information, another month to check it for accuracy and a third month to print the pages and assemble them for binding. Salisbury said he hoped to have the new directory ready for ids tribution fn September. This is the company's third ex perience in providing Roseburg with a city directory, a fact which Salis bury says will help the workers by giving the workers a sounder fool ing on which to start. Another point he values is the policy of using as many local persons as possible in gather ing the information on the theory that Roseburg resi dents know the city better than do strangers. - 1 Past Experience Counts Working from a street guide, en umerators cover various zones which include the city and the immediate vicinity. Workers also compile information of persons ser ved by all rural routes out of Rose burg. Some of the enumerators worked in the same capacity for the census bureau and will knock on the same doors and talk to the same persons they did a few month! ago. Other workers are on file with the Roseburg Cham- rlSi What'i a RODEO FRILL"?

Investigators Of Freight Car Lack Reach Roseburg Representatives from the office of Public Utilities Commissioner George H. Flagg are in Roseburg today studying the railroad car shortage problem. The men are David W. Kelley, formerly connected with the inter state commerce car service div ision. T. W. Dench and Roger U Hawley. They are touring south western Oregon, where the car shortage seems to be more crit ical. They have already visited the coastal area, and the Medford and Grants Pass areas, but will be continuing their survey for some time yet. Visits are being made to all the major lumbering concerns, as well as to the railroad depots, and con sultations are being held with the heads of these concerns. Factual information and data is being compiled to be submitted to Commissioner Flagg to aid him in meeting the situation. Fullest cooperation on the part of the industries and the railroad freight agents has been received in supplying the information needed, the men stated. The southwestern Oregon area appears to be the most affected There seems to be a greater num ber of freight cars available in Washington and the Portland area. Methods of securing a hettcr ap portionment of cars for the entire Pacific Northwest is one of the major' problems the commission is facing they stated.

J Approval Sought For Plan To Arm Western Europe WASHINGTON, June 23 -IIP) Administration forces opened a drive today for senate approval of a program which would place Am erica's most modern weapons ex cept atomic bombs along the de fense frontiers of western Europe. Senator Connally of Texas had the job of guiding the $1,222,500,000 foreign arms plan into its second year of operation. There was trouble ahead mostly from Re publicans. The major points of dispute were: (1) A provision to give Presi dent Truman authority to hand over $122,250,000 worth of arms to any European nation whose d e fense he considers vital to the security of the United States. (2) An amendment which would permit the U. S. government to sell arms on credit to any friendly nation. (3) A proposal by Senator Lodge (R-Mass) to permit Marshall plan nations to draw on $5,000,000,000 of European recovery funds for mil itary purposes. These funds are lo cal currencies deposited by Eur opean countries to match recovery dollars. Two senate committees strongly emphasized yesterday that new type weapons developed since World War II would go into Eur ope's defenses. While many of these arms are not yet being produced in any numbers, the senate foreign r e lationa and armed services com mittees said in a report that new weapons capable of mass-production will make it possible to de fend western Europe without matching an Invader division for division. "Our armed forces and those of our partners must have well equip ped forces available men armed with the most modern weapons science can develop," the c o m mittces said. Any show of weakness at this time, the committees argued would be a confession "which the soviet union would not be slow to interpret as an invitation to aggres sion." i Under present law, the United States cannot arm European na tions with atomic weapons. But other arms can he supplied as thev become available, and it was to these (hat the committee referred. The report spoke of rccoilless guns, shaped explosives for use against tanks, non-magnetic mines and new uses of vacuum tube fuses. "These new weapons o f d e fense," the report said, "give us greater assurance that our plans can be carried out successfully without the necessily of matching the enemy division for division, tank for tank, or man for man. Connally was confident that the Senate would approve the bill vir tually as it came out of the foreign relations and armed services com mittees. Indications were that a final vote would not be reached until early next week.

Vivian Logsdon of Roseburg is heading a county-wide move ment to secure petition signatures to put on the November ballot the so-called "balanced apportion ment" plan for determining the membership of the Oregon state legislature.

Equal propor tion shall be used for determina tion, except that no county shall have more than one-third mem bership of either house. A county with insufficient population for a member shall be attached to or grouped with an adjoining county or counties for representation. The reapportionment would be made on July 1, 1951, and on the same date for each tenth year, following the latest federal census. Petitions are being circulated throughout the county.

The committee has already heard proponents of the measure, army engineers, the bureau of reclamation, some opponent! and all of the governors of the states affected by the proposal. Most of the governors opposed the measure, urging that the com prehensive program drafted by the reclamation bureau and army en gineers be approved in its stead. Senator Cordon (R-Ore) and Sen ator Morse (R-Ore) oposed the measure but did not testify at the hearing. The measure would set up the CVA to control development of the entire Columbia river basin.
