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

troll-free only when sold by the
producer.
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

More Emphasis
Placed On Safety
By Truckers Assn.
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. The meeting is
slated to begin Friday afternoon
Leo Sevy, membership chair
man, revealed the inauguration of
a new membership drive gimmick.
Starting alphabetically wilh ihe
first name on the Jay:ec roster, a
member will receive a live
rabbit. He must care for the an
imal until he gels a new member,
at which time he may pass it on
to the next member in the alpha
bet name arrangement.

Ethel Minium, sang three selec

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
