PICTURES IN By Charles V. Stanton We have been endeavoring: this week, in the annual observance of National Newspaper Week, to report to yon on your newspaper. We have discussed . various de pj'.rtmenta, outlining the work involved in the production of a newspaper, Mid some of our plans for the future. We have conducted this lengthy discussion of The News Review bf.'Yiuse it is our theory that the newspaper is a public utility; that its readers are the stockholders and that management holds the responsibility of super vising a service lor the newspaper's readers. The readers, therefore, t.re entitled to know how the business is conducted. The News-Review has enjoyed a most unusual exper ience. The community's sudden growth permitted a large expansion program with changes in style and policy, which, while difficult, has been most interesting. We have greatly enlarged all departments. Perhaps the most noticeable to the reader is our local pictorial news coverage. Few newspapers in Oregon are more profusely illustrated than The News-Review. It is our policy to illustrate iocal news "tell it with pictures" in the belief that readers can thus be much better served and informed. In our picture department we are fortunate to have the services of a veteran photographer and feature writer, Paul Jenkins, whose work is of out standing character. Having also had experience as an engraver, .Mr. Jenkins is able to give his excellent pictures the touch they need for superior engravings. News room staff photographers also contribute to our pictorial news coverage. Strike Recovery Rapid Expansion of every department of a newspaper in such a short space of time as has elapsed since the start of our county's boom growth is not an easy task. It seems that management of The News-Review has constantly been fighting trouble shortages of materials, equipment, manpower, spiraling costs, etc. . The hardest blow your newspaper has suffered, how ever, was the recent strike by composing room employes. This strike was wanted by neither The News-Review nor its employes. Proposals by management were satisfac tory to tha workers. They were ordered to strike, how ever, on a matter of jurisdiction over printing processes a point on which we could not yield. We do not propose to be told by a labor racketeer in Indianapt.lis how we shall conduct our business, nor do we intend to be forced into an action we believe to be a violation of federal law. Because of our stand we suffered a strike. ' The News-Revirui is not anti-labor. We support the cause of organized labor,, although! we cannot condone racketeering and radicalism, nor dictatorship on the part of labor leadership. We would have preferred to con tinue our relationship with union composing- roorrj workers, just as we have with the pressmen and en gravers, who continued working under their contracts with The News-Review. If permitted in the future to operate as an open chop we will not discriminate against union workers. Conditions Nearinq Normal We have weathered this most severe crisis in our flistory and have restored nearly normal operating con ditions. We have a full composing room crew. We are handling normal production volume of news and adver tising - . We still have a picket line. Only four of the original strikers remain in town to picket our plant, and our information is that the force will be cut to two within tha next 1'tw days. The ITU is using hired pickets to keep the line operating. . . We could not have combatted this attempt to impose dictatorship over management policies of The News Review had it not been for continued cooperation from readers and advertisers. We endeavored to report truth fully to the public our side of the dispute. It has been evident that the public, in general, also resented the ITU demands, iivnmuch as matters of wages and local working conditions, other than jurisdiction over processes, were not involved. The management of The News-Review is extremely grateful fur continued support from its friends in time of trouble. We will endeavor to show our appreciation by pledging the best service it is possible for us to perform as we strive to keep pace with the assured future growth of our community, and will cooperate to the best of our r.bility in that development program.

Martin J(;-f, al--nj By WENDELL WEBB Editor, The Oregon Statesman THE PRESS ROOM One of the most interesting parts of a newspaper plant, from a layman's standpoint, is the press room. On flat-bed presses, the news paper is printed directly on the flat page forms of type as they came from the composing room. On newspapers with larger cir culations, flat-bed presses are re placed by presses on which curved repjicas of the flat page forms are placed. These curved lead forms, one for each page, revolve rapidly on cylinders and the whir-rr-r of the pressroom drowns out conver sation. There are many types and sizes of presses. They can turn out all the way from four pages to more than 100 at one time. They can produce all the way from 1000 newspapers an hour to hundreds of thousands. The men operating the press must keep a close eye on its work ing. They must see that the ink is not too heavy or too thin, too light or too black; and on the cylindi iral-type presses they must see that the tension on the great rolls of paper is not too loose or not loo tight it is easy to have one tear in two. And they must watch the rolls as they dwindle in site, and be ready with an other roll at the instant it ii needed. The newspapers come from the press half-folded. They pile up rap idly and men must keep moving thpm from the press to the mail tables or chutes. Some newspapers have endless belts which route the I newspapers to whatever room they are needed without anyone hand ling them directly off the press. As the first newspapers come off the press, staff members scan them hurridly to see there is no transcendent error which would warrant the cry "slop the press." Minor errors found at that late stage must go subscribers don't like to have their paper de layed. Truman Orders Draft Of Medics WASHINGTON I V Presi dent Truman set machinery in mo tion Friday for e draft of physi cians and dentists for the armed services, The first registration date will be Monday, Oct. 16.

Every time Newspaper Week comes around I get out a copy of the 1Ondon Daily Mail for June 23, 1897, which my mother saved at the time of (Jueen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee no.

The most fascinating story In the eight pages is where sketches, also in gold ink, give a hint of '.ravel in 18.17, when the Queen ascended the throne as a girl of eighteen; and also the part about newspapers in those days. I'll quote the news paper ator first:" "In 1837 the number of news papers and other journals pub lished in London was 102, of which thirty now exist. Circulations such as appear today (1897) would then have appeared astounding. That of the 'Times' was about 11,000 cop ies; upon which it paid for adver tisement duty in the year nearly 10,000. All newspapers had then to pay a special tax; and the num ber of newspaper stamps issued i? 4VYF laiAfcan. .mm . -i .iii i. nff maia a. ai mi DOWN IN THE DUMPS These naked North.

The white fledgling was finally rescued by its mother, who returned just as it was feared the young bird would starve. o o in 1837 was over 28,000,000." (What! Has our government missed some thing in tax ideas?; Suburban dwellers were rowed Mo their business areas in "water I men's wherries" look like row- boats. Travel was by coach or on foot.

The number of coaches in the Kingdom was 3,028." Children's dresses then and now were a contrast!

I have one vivid memory of Queen Victoria I was one of a line of children passing through a great room in 1 Windsor Castle where the kindly ! old Queen received us. She sat in a "bath chair" (wheel chair) I was with my cousin Reginald, whose mother, my aunt Elizabeth, lived near the castle and received 'commands' to sing for the Queen. I remember vividly the kindly blue eyes of the old lady who was much stouter than my own Granny, a dainty doll-like person. :U- i otoea o Russia's Phony Peace Move Obvious Attempt To Avert Further North Korea Move 1 ly DIWITT MACKENZIE - AP Foreign Affeira Anelytf Th Soviat bloc's Koreen paaca plan, ai laid before th lav Red North Koraa from furthtr military dilatter.

' Serious Setback or Reds In advancing the Soviet proposal, Vishinsky rejected the eight-power project for united and inde pendent Korea. This had been sponsored by Britain, Australia, Brazil, Cuba, The Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan and the Philip pines, it has been receiving in creating support among the U. N. membership. The Soviet positionisn't difficult to understand. The sweeping success of the United Nations intervention in Korea hai caused communism a serious loss of face and that is a mighty important item in Asia. This Red setback is likely to encourage resistance among other Asiatic countries which lie in the path of the Com munist steam roller. In short, this isn't a propitious development for the Soviet bloc communism shins tne weignt of its world drive to the Asiatic theatre. Worry For Russia Moreover, apart from the po litical aspect of the situation, the status of Korea is important to both Russia and China strategic- Soviet Move For N. Koreans Loses In U.N. Assembly NEW YORK (Jtt The V. N. general assembly today rejected a last-minute Soviet attempt to get North Korean participation in dis cussions of the Korean case. Then the assembly quickly moved to ward final ratification of an eight power resolution authorizing Gen eral MacArthur to occupy North Korea. By a vote of six In favor, 41 against and six abstentions, the assembly rejected Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A. Malik's request that both North and South Korea be invited to appear before the United Nations as equal par ties to the dispute. Malik opened the Soviet bloc's final attack on the eight-nation resolution for unifying pacifying and rehabilitating all Korea under U. N. auspices. Defeat of the Rus sian last-gasp fight was a foregone conclusion. The assembly's 60-nation polit ical committee approved the eight power plan Wednesday by a vote of 47 to five wilh seven abstentions. An identical vote, or nearly so, is expected in the full assembly later in the day. The assembly's action is the final one. While the eight-power plan does not specifically order Gen M a c Arthur to advance beyond the 38th parallel, its meaning is clear. The U. N. commander is given the responsibility of taking all military steps necessary to bring peace and unity to the country. Eccentric Man's Three Wills Pose Court Problem LOS ANGELES (V) Where there's a will there's a but which way for a probate judge now con fronted with three documents dis posing of eccentric Charles Babon-. el's $500,000 fortune? The third will was filed Thurs day with reservations bv Pub lic Adminisirator Ben H. Brown. It is in the form of a rambling letter dated Aug. 17, 1945 and ad dressed to "Dear friend Abe" in pencil on four sheets of tablet paper. Brown said it was apparently mailed from Denver. Colo., with an accompanving letter from "Abe." who failed to identify him self or give an address. Brown told the court he was offering the will for probate with the reserva tion he could not yet determine if it was authentic. A Miss Betricia Reed was named as the chief beneficiary for $200,000. The writer said he had met Miss Reed for an hour once in Richmond. Calif., but believed she had since moved to Denver. Other bequests included $35,000 to t "Dr. Mel, who might be found in Colorado." and $15,000 each to Boys Town. Neb., and Santa Bar bate Mission, Calif. Opposed to this.

Moscow is said to be particularly worried for fear America may es tablish control over this penisula which lies so close in the north to the great Soviet naval base of Vladivostok. That would in truth be most embarrassing to Russia if it happened but it won't happen because the United States has no intention of any such maneuver. However, these various worries are enough to explain why the Soviet bloc is anxious to salvage what it can from the North Korean debacle. N.W. Vets Should At Once Renew G.I. Insurance Veterans of World War II living in the Pacific Northwest are re minded by the Veterans adminis tration that many of them will have to convert or renew their present National Service Life In surance policies sbmetime this year. Failure to do so, the VA said, may result in tne loss of their (i. I. insurance, unless they are able to pass a physical examin ation. The VA explained that G. I. policies issued in 1942 have eight years to run before they must be converted or renewed. Since 1942 was a year of heavy recruitment by the armed forces, thousands of N. W. veterans have insurance policies that will expire sometime this year. The VA emphasized that vet erans must apply for their new policies before the old ones expire. Veterans are advised to write or visit their nearest VA office to check up on the status of their G. I. insurance policies, if they entered the armed forces during 1942. School Financing Advice Veterans attending college this fall under the G. I. bill should be prepared to finance themselves for a period of at least thirty days be fore they receive their first sub sistence checks, it was announced today by the Veterans Administra tion. The VA explained that heavy fall enrollments and the large vol ume of work in setting up neces sary records will cause some delay in the issuance of first subsistence checks to student-veterans. Veterans enrolled in schools where classes started the first of September should get their first checks a month later in most rases, the VA said, although a few checks may be delayed a little longer. Most G. I. students enrolling after September 20 will receive their first subsistence checks the first of November. Initial checks will include all payments due, retroactive to the date of enrollment. The new insecticide lindane is recommended by the U.S. Dep. artment of Agriculture for peste oi dajry cows.

P The United Lutheran Church in Amer ica (ULCA) for the first time in history was on record today aa approving full membership in t cooperative American Protestant agency. By an overwhelming standing vote delegates to ULCA's biennial convention here agreed to become a member of the new National Council of Churches of Christ in America. The national council of churches is tj be formally organized at a meeting in Cleveland next month. It will absorb the Federal Council of Chruches and seven other inter denominational agencies. In taking tne unprecedented ac tion, the 2,00O.0C? member ULCA joined the Augustana Lutheran church, the Danish Lutheran church and 19 other Protestant faiths and four eastern orthodox churches in approving the action. An eloquent plea for membership in the council was made by Mrs. W. C. Hanning. of New Rochelle, N. Y., first woman delegate ever to speak on the floor of a ULCA convention.. COLUMBUS, O.
