Here at the News-Review we have appropriated a slogan coined 30-odd years ago by a lovable for mer citizen of Oregon, K. Suga man: "We ain't mad at nobody." Particularly are we not mad at our friends and former associates who have called a strike in our composing room (the department of our business in which we set the news and advertising type that goes into the paper.) They are fine people who feel that the principle involved in what they are doing is important enough to justify even the cost of going on strike. Those of us who remain at work, of course, disagree with them, but disagreements do not necessarily need to interfere with friendships. Looking back over the years, I can recall with considerable pleas ure that some of the people with whom I hava disagreed most em V -w'l chandise gifts from Douglas coun ty merchants. The 19 prizes in clude the following from Roseburg business concerns: a 17-jewel wrist watch from Lawson's; a formal Miller's; pair of shoes, Wayne's Shoe store; nylon blouse, Craig's; cotton dress, Luveme's; hand bag, Mabel Lewis'; two pair hose, Low ell's;' scarf, Style Shop; cologne, Fashion Center; table lamp, Judd furniture; lace table cover. Car slen's; a box of hand rolled choco lates from Sanford's Candy kitch en and $3 in cleaning, City Clean ers. Sutherlin concerns gave a two strand set of pearls from Buri and Taylor; nylon slip and nylon hose, Sutherlin Apparel shop; waffle iron, Umpqua Valley Appliance of Suth erlin and a toaster from Harvey and Roe. The Lentz Clothing com pany of Myrtle Creek gave two pair of hose. Flowers for the queen and prin cesses will be furnished by Fern florists of Roseburg. RESCUER REWARDED . . FRANKFURT, July 1-OT-Cpl. Joseph E. Mea of Chester, Pa., re ceived the army commendation award today for saving a six-year-old German boy from drowning in an icy pond. JENKINS phatically have remained among my warmest friends. Voltaire, with his usual clearness and directness, expressed that thought when he said to an opponent in the course of an argument: "I disagree most heartily, sir, with what you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it." I want to speak another word for some more of our people. They are members of other newspaper un ions. They have contracts with us. They have been instructed by their international unions to stay on the job. They are staying. Inevitably, things in these days being what they are, their situation is unpleasant. They are taking that in stride. I respect them greatly for what they are doing. They are living up to their agreements. What I want to ask from the pub lic is recognition that these men are remaining on their jobs on the direct instructions of their inter national unions. They are not only good citizens. They are good union men. I hope they get tha credit to which they art entitled. IrtakhtkW 1173 Hard, Bloody War Faced By I) U. Forces Foul Weather Handicap To Operations; South Koreans Lack Training By MAX BOYD WASHINGTON. Julv 1 UP) The reported virtual collapse of the South Korean army means a nard, bloody and perhaps long cam paign for American troops thrown into the battle against the Korean Communists. Military men here said the out look is all the more grim because foul weather may make it increas ingly difficult to bring America's air superiority to bear. At this time of year, Korea normally en ters a season of torrential rains and overcast skies lasting two months or more. During the next few days, when the first U.S. ground forces are struggling to get established and stop the rush of Communist tanks. the weather will be of extreme im portance. It will decide, more than anything else, whether the GI's get protection and support from the hundreds of planes available on Japan, Okinawa, Guam and on al lied aircraft carriers. Initial limits on armed Ameri can aid to Korea were abandoned yesterday, even before the full pro- Portions of the southerner's rout became known publicly. South Koreans Lack Training If the South Koreans were well trained and had the will to fight, one officer declared, they should give the invaders considerable op position. The army spokesmen acknowled ged at this initial briefing that a counterattack by two South Kor ean divisions had failed for lack of coordination. They confirmed that two Ameri can divisions withdrawn from South Korea last year had left $56,000, 000 worth of equipment for the Kor ean army.- Thisincluded no tanks, however. Nor had the Korean air force been given any combat planes. Mr. Truman's decision to send ground troops closely followed a report to Washington by General Douglas. MacArthur after his visit to the fighting zone Thursday. A defense spokesman disclosed Friday morning that 40 to 50 Com munist vehicles had broken through the defense line on the Han river, south of the Korean capital of Se oul. Later Friday he said the South Koreans were rallying to get in front of this thrust, and that it was hoped they would stop it. The public's first word of an al most complete demoralization of Korean defenses came from cor respondents in the field last night. At that time, the defense depart ment spokesman said no official confirmation of the reported col lapse had been received. He add ed, however, that news reports were running far ahead of official dispatches to the Pentagon.

Third World War Averted By West's Fi rmness-Strachey COLCHESTER, Eng., July l-OW-War minister John Strachey said tonight the firm stand by the western powers against Red aggression in Korea may save civilization from a third world war. In an address to a political meeting here, Strachey declared: "How can one doubt that the communists are forcing this choice on us all: either blindly to obey the orders of the politburo in Moscow or to take a full part in the world struggle against them. "From Korea to Jugoslavia and across the world again to western Germany, it is being proved every day that none of us has any choice but that." Strachey said that, in his opinion, the fighting in Korea is unlikely to spread into a global conflict. "On the contrary," he said, "the knowledge that the western world wiil not sit by while the Communists attack this small country will greatly help to prevent the outbreak of a third world war." Strachey himself was a well-known Communist sympathizer and ap ologist in tha years before World war II. SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1VS0 Tough World Faced, Word To Boy Scouts Truman Tells Jamboree Not To Return Hate For Hate Of Red-Trainers VALLEY FORGE. PA., July 1 MV-President Truman stood up before nearly 50,000 Boy Scouts last night and told them man-toman what a tough world they are growing up in. It will be an even worse world, the President said, unless all Amer icans work for peace and freedom witn tne same burning laitn that inspired the men of George Wash ington's army here at Valley Forge." Seated shoulder-to-shoulder be fore Mr. Truman, their ranks stretching to the limits of the ast open-air ampitheater, were scouts and tneir leaders Irom 20 nations. On the outer fringes, some 20,000 spectators craned their necks for a view of the scene. It was the largest youth gather ing in the history of the Americas, and one of the largest audiences the President has ever faced. He didn't give one of the folksy chats that he sometimes gives to boys. He broke away from his prepared speech at the outset to tell the scouts they were lucky to be young Americans well fed, well taken care of. "Today." the President said. "the young people of Communist- dominated countries are being mo bilized and marched . . , "They are being made into tools of power politics, and their mas ters will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives if that will advance the cause of Communist imperialism. Remedy Pointed Out What should be done about It? "There is only one way." Mr. Truman said firmly. "We must not return hate for the hate which these young people ire being taught to feel toward us. We must realize they are the victims of a cynical group of leaders. We must make it clear to them that we believe in the fellowship of human beings Today, even more than in Wash ington's time, men in other coun tries share our belief in freedom and our willingness to make it work. . . . Our program for peace is not directed against the people of any nation. It is designed to bring to all people the benefits of justice Tonight there will be monster camplires for it. ol the 35 sections into which the jamboree is divided. Religious services for all faiths will be held tomorrow, followed by an evening convocation with the theme "freedom of worship."

Tax Delinquency In Douglas Cited By Legislators Facing Problem Of State's Deficit - PORTLAND, July 1 W Amondmeni of the state's oqriirovdrsial six percent tax limitation was proposed here yesterday as a possible aid solving Oregon's monetary problems. , t- ' It was one of five proposals outlined to the Portland City club by the state legislature's interim tax committee. The others: amend the excise law to eliminate many present ex emptions; replace state property taxes witn a z percent Dusiness tax on net profits; improve assess ments and collection proceaurcs. Sen. Howard C. Belton. com mittee chairman, said elimination of the six percent limitation would permit local subdivisions to set up new tax bases. If expenditures and income con tinue at the present level, Belton said, the state would have a de ficit of $7,500,000 by the end ot the binnium. But this would go to $42,000,000 annually If a vet erans' bonus and higher pension and state school support funds were approved. The tax bill for the head of a family of four in Oregon is $1,600, Belton said, with an annual state tax load of $613,000,000. - Because no emergency clauses are oermitted in Oregon tax bills, voters have passed many measures, but provided no means to nnance them, he said. Tax deliqucncies, according to Belton, are rising. He cited an in crease of 300 percent in Douglas county in the past three years as an example. As a result, he said, the state's so-called money "surplus" is dropping rapidly. Rcd. Giles French. Moro, a mem ber of the committee, said a busi ness tax is more equitable than a property tax. Change In Hatch Act Meets Veto WASHINGTON, July 1 UP) President Truman Friday vetoed a bill which would have removed some of the teih from the Hatch act hy permitting leucrnl workers to take part in local election cam paigns under certain conditions. The Hatch act restricts political activities by government employes. The bill disapproved by Mr. Tru man would have allowed them to engage in politics in those local elections where the number of fed eral employes predominates. In a message to the house, the President objected to confining Ihe liberalized provision on local poli ics to geographic localions where the number of government em ployes Is predominant. The President bIso objected lo a provision which would have given cogressional committees the stat utory right to records of testimony regarding charges of violations of the Hatch act.

MacArthur'g headquarters announced that North norean lorces nad breached the Han river defense line and were concentrated 10 miles north of Su won. former provisional capital of South Korea.

They must travel 162 miles north west by rail to reach Taejon. The Suwon area is 73 rail miles still farther north. An air force spokesman in To kyo said the airlift was without incident. He said a C-54 transport that crashed at Pusan. killing 23 ' men, was not on a troop-carrying mission. An air force announcement yes terday said U.S. planes had des troyed 15 tanks and heavily bomb ed other Communist armor along me nan river east ot Seoul. The report of the arrival of American G.
