The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tuos., Fab. -fi Present World Chaos Due To Five American Blunders, Maj. Gen. Rika Declares Maj. Gen. Thomua E. Rilea, Oregon national guard state adjutant, cites what he calls five major blunders committed by the United States which has resulted in the present chaotic world situation. Speaking at a chamber of commerce forum luncheon Monday, the general listed the blunders s follows: 1. At the end of World War 1. the U. S. should not have slopped at the Rhine river but continued and occupied all of Germany. He said this would have given the U. S. the opportunity to educate the German people and show them what occupation means. The gen eral believes such an occupation would probably have prevented the rise of Hitler. 2. In World War II, the U. S. forces should not have stopped on the outskirts of Berlin while the Russians occupied the city, lie said If the U. S. had taken the city, it would have presented a more uni fied front in Western Europe against the Russians. 3. The U. S. should never have allowed the Russians to enter the war against Japan just five days before the armistice was signed. He said the move handed China over to the communists. 4. The U. S. should not haye disarmed as fast as it did after World War II, Rilea stated. He said this was acutally the fault of the American people. He said at the end of war, the U. S. had the world's finest military machine, which would have been a useful tool in arranging a lasting peace. 5. The withdrawal of U. S. troops from Korea. He said if the troops had been left in Korea, the pre sent war may have been avoided. A Bomb Seen As Deterrent Touching briefly on other phases of the world situation, the general said Russia is capable of taking Western Europe by force. He said possibly the U. S. stockpile of atom bombs was stopping to Russians from making the move. He also approved aid for West ern Europe and urged a speed up of the defense effort. Gen. Rilea told the chamber member! and guests there was a posslblity that the national guard's 41st division would not be called into federal service this year. He said if it is called, it would prob ably be sometime after July. The general praised the record of the local guard company. He also asked the business men of the area not to discriminate against To Buy, List or Soil Real Eitafe Sao UNITED REALTY Arthur II. Taylor, Broker 749 S.

Affected by the change are such Important items as wheat, corn, oats, hay, fresh fruits and veg etables, chickens, eggs, milk, tur keys, buttcrfat, sugar beets, some tobaccos and a variety of miscel laneous commodities. Processing Spoils Control Once a raw product ir processed, however, it becomes subject to control. For instance, this applies to eggs when candled and pack aged, or to wheat when ground into flour. At this point, only a direct increase in the cost of the raw product can be passed on to the consumer; the profit margin of the processor or dealer is frozen. 3. Cents-a-pound ceilings were provided for green coffee, raw co coa beans, soybeans and soybean oil meal, replacing the freeze-type control. OPS said the action should not bring an increase in the re tail prices of roasted coffee but will relieve a cost squeeze on some roasters whose ceiling nrice does not reilect recent increases in the cost of green coffee beans The new Ol'S order permits trad ing in these products at or below the following ceilings: Green coffee on the New York Coffee and Sugar exchange, 55',-i cents a pound; raw cocoa beans on the New York Cocoa exchange, 38 Xw cents a pound; for soybean fu tures contract on the Chicago Hoard of Trade, 3.33 a bushel; and for soybean oil meal, $74 I ton in bulk, FOB Decatur, 111.

Because trucks are so pow erful and unwieldy, the American Trucking association has stressed safety more and more as the gi gantic trucking industry has ex panded in the last few years. America's champion truck and trailer driver, John Castner 0 f Roseburg emphasized this point at the semi-monthly meeting of the Rosburg Junior chamber of com merce in the'Umpqua hotel Mon day night. Trucking has grown to such pro portions in the last lew years, that one out of every six checks issued in the United States comes from that industry, said Castner. With its growth has come an in creasing potential for accidents, he said. "A trucker on the road is like a navigator," according to Cast ner. "He can't make many mis takes." To foster this idea, the American Trucking association has set up a system of stale and national truck ing rodeos, ne saia. saieiy regu lations to enter these events are so strict that the field of entrants is narrowed automatically, he said. To even become eligible a trucker must have driven a year without a single accident of any kind. Besides actual driving tests in the rodeo, ICC regulations, first aid and equipment defects tests are thorough, he said. Castner de scribed these tests as well as his experience in winning the 1950 na tional rodeo in New York City. That Castner practices what the American Trucking association preaches is revealed with his out standing record. He has won the world championship in the truck and trailer division for the last two years by wide margins. In 1949, at Phoenix, Ariz., he made ?44 out of a possible 250 poinls and last year in a tougher test he ran up 276 of a possible 330 points. In the regular order of business, Bill Endicott announced that Kosc burg Jaycecs will leave for the district board meeling at Tilla mook on Friday.

Washington St and S.P.R.R. Tracks Statistics Defeated In Alsea River Bill (Continued from page One) were cited to show that where formerly the fish commission has promised increases in fish popu lation, there has continued to be a drastic decline. It was sug gested that one legislator, who commented on how much he would enjoy a can of fish which had been presented to him, better frame the can for in ten years there wouldn't be any fish left to can unless something was done. Rep. goddos, Rottburg, cited tho result of the closure of the Umpqua, whore, although it is too soon to accurately measure the good accomplished, already the fish population has quit de clining and is b-eginning to show surges of new life. Ho quoted letters from coastal areas of the Umpqua, which formerly op posed closing the stream, but which now are ardent support ers of that policy and are finding more money under the non-commercial set-up. Rep. Jackson, also from Doug, las county, told mo that ho was all set to make his speech for the closure when someone moved the previous question and debate was halted. Rep. Graham Killam, Portland, in speaking for the bill declared that either the commercial fisher men are mighty poor business men, or else they are taking far more fish than they report: other wise they wouldn't fight so hard for such a small income which is so unprofitable. One representative quoted the 1946 "mandate of the people" when in the "eneral election the people refused to vote to lo.se these riv ers. But that argument was squelched by reminding the as sembly that that was just after Ihe war when we were still find ing shortages on grocery shelves and it was considered necessary to exploit our natural resources for the sake of food. Actually the only arguments against the bill seemed to center around the theory that we should give the fish commission more opportunity to work things out their own way, and that closure was just a drop in the bucket as logging, etc., had ruined the riv ers for the fish. Vote Astonishes Listening as a more or less im partial observer I felt assured that the bill would pass and was some what astounded when the "no" votes came rolling in. Most signif icant seems to be Ihe likelihood that such a trend indicates that later bills to close the Coquille and the Siuslaw will probably be defeated. The argument was clearly made SLABW00D in 12-16 and 24 in lenqths OLD GROWTH FIR DOUBLE LOADS WESTERN BATTERY SEPARATOR Phont 458 Local News Ducky Daughters To Moot The Ducky Daughters will meet Tues day evening at the home of Muriel Ellison on Micelli street.
