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-

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.

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.

Apportionment
Plan Petitions
In Circulation
V. 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.
The plan provides that repre
sentation shall be determined on a
basis of population. 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 Rose
burg Business and Professional
Women's club is sponsoring the
movement here, said Miss Logs
don. Those circulating petitions in
other parts of the county are: Can
