Soviet Menace Stressed
Nations Of NewWorld
Should BolsterTheir
Defenses, Truman Says
Bv JOHN' M. HICHTOWER
WASHINGTON' (AP) President Truman urged the
nations of the New World Monday to strengthen and co
ordinate their defense forces against "great perils" posed
by the "aggressive expansion of the Soviet system toward
our own hemisphere."
"We must now plan as a primary task for the strength
ening and the coordinated use of our defense forces in this
hemisphere," Mr. Truman said in a speech prepared for
the opening of the inter-American foreign ministers' meet-

the teletype from New York:

That is to say:
The boom we've been hearing so
much about is a WAR boom. It
threatens to collapse at the first

time being.
If we have to fight wars, or

Price Ceilings
On Meats Due
In Mid-April
All Phases Of Problem
Will Be Settled At One
Time, OPS Expert Says
WASHINGTON P Fixing
of dollars and cents ceiling prices
on steak and pork chops by mid
April is the target at which gov
ernment price experts aimed to
day. Frankly acknowledging the meat
price and supply situation is their
No. 1 problem, Office of Price
Stabilization experts are working
feverishly on a solution.
Both Economic Stabilizer Eric
Johnston and Price Director Di
Salle have said the ceilings will
be ordered as soon as possible.
But they haven't given any indi
cation as to the probable date.
One OPS meat expert said, how
ever, he didn't think he was being
too optimistic in making the mid
April forecast.
Previously OPS authorities had
indicated regulations covering live ;
hogs and dressed pork would come j
first, to be followed by ceilings on !
dressed beef and live cattle.
The aim now is to get the entire j
meat situation settled at one time j
or at least with the regulations on :
beef following closely those on !
pork. j
Livestock Men Warn
The livestock men generally i
have been vigorously opposed to I
ceilings on live animals, especially
cattle. They have predicted such j
ceilings would bring shortages and 1
black markets. They have insisted j
in talks with DiSalle that such I
ceilings be made high enough to
be "workable."
Along this line, Johnston has
cautioned the public not to expect I
all meat prices to be rolled back j
to pre-Korean levels. It they were, I
he said, a lot or meal would cer
tainly go into the black market.
Right away, perhaps today, OPS
may announce kill quotas for
slaughterers who were required to
register with the agency by March
15. The new quotas for slaughter
ers will be effective April 1, These
will be worked generally on the
experience of slaughterers' killing
in the comparable poind of 1950
and on government estimates of
live animals available.

Eric Johnson Warns
On Prices, Profits, Pay
WASHINGTON (A1) Economic
Stabilizer Eric Johnston assesses
climbing business profits, farm
price and wage for labor as po
tential explosives which "could
blow the roof off inflation."
In a television interview he said:
1. Business profits in 1050 were
30 percent above 1049 in spite of
increased taxes, and "we simply
cannot allow business profits to
keep going up."
2. Farm profits have gone up
27 percent since fighting started
in Korea.
3. He honed working men will
not ask for wage increases be
yond the present formula which
permits 10 percent above the lev
els of January, 1950.
Any of these things, Johnston
warned, could "blow the roof off."

No Community Support
Jack Newby, Ex-Coach,
Scores Handicaps That
Led To Four Resignations
Retiring basketball Coach Jack Newby lashed out Mon
day niprht against what he termed the lack of community
support of athletics in the Roscburg school system. He
was speaking at a Junior chamber of commerce dinner
meeting at the Umpqua hotel.
He cited this asserted lack of civic interest as one of
the reasons he and other coaches have quit their posts.
He said his feeling was like that of a fellow coach who
said he was "dissatisfied with the attitude of the com
munity.
Newby also made the startling
announcement that baseball Coach
Ray Stephens was handing in his
resignation today to bring the in
creasing throng of retiring coaches
to four in the matter of three
weeks. Other resignations were
previously tendered by football
coach Ccce Shewood and assistant
football Coach Ray Brown,
A second reason given for his
resignation was that the athletic
department can contact only about
400 of the 1100 students for athletic
activity. He said more than 600
students travel back and forth to
I school on buses. For this reason
he said, potential players cannot
go out for practice after school
anil still catch the bus for home.
He explained that this leaves an
available student group to be
drawn from near the size of the
Myrtle Point or Coquille student
bodies.
Training Inadequate
A third reason given by Newby
was that there has not been a su
perior athlete in school for years.
This is primarily due, he said,
to the fact that no training is re-
ccived bv the athletes below the
: high school level in the surround-
t ing communities. He noted that a
business career cannot be moulded
I in a couple of years, nor can a
, championship team be built in that
time
This year, he said, the basket
ball team's eight top players were
seniors. Not a junior was good
enough to place in the top eight,
he continued. The junior varsity
squad playetl games with the
Marshficld freshmen this year and
were soundly trounced, he noted.
"This was next year's varsity,"
Newby said, "and as a result,
Marshficld has flatly refused to
play us next year. The Pirates
want stiff competition and we can't
give it to them." Grants Pass and
Medford have also taken Roscburg
off the schedule, he added.
Facilities Not Sufficient
One of the reasons for this poor
competition is a lack of motivation
in the kivls, he said. This can be
traced to the bad facilities the
school offers, he pointed out.
Only two "B" schools and one "A"
school in the county have worse
facilities, Newby said. The floor
of the Roscburg gym is peeling and
only eight candlcpowcr of light
reaches the gym floor because of
the poor lighting. This situation is
another reason Marshficld refused
to play Roscburg next year, ac
cording to Newby.
"The situation is dark for the
next three years," said Newby,
"and you, as businessmen, would
not want to wait four years to
have your business pay off."
Newby said that pressure had
been brought to bear on him. "I
was asked to quit last year but re
fused," he saill. Although he did
not mention this as reason for his
resignation, he said "The pres
sure is on."
When asked if he had the "open
minded" support of the "powers
that be," Newby answered, "The
board was a little backward in go
ing forward. However, he added
I,.:,, .., nr,.,,ipm.
Remedies Suggested
Newby concluded that three
ways of remedying the situation
are incorporation of the outlying
Wade schools into the progressive
athletic program, formation of co
operative interest wilh the school
hoards and active support by the
taxpayers.
"If you expect learns to win,
you have to get out and support
them," he said. "I personally feci
that we (coaches) have done a
good job."

Anastasle Arrested
Joseph Anastasio, brother of Al
bert Anastasia, reputed execu

mob, was arrested today and held
for deportation proceedings.
The 46-year-old longshoreman
was seized in his Brooklyn home
early today. Later he was booked
by police and held for immigra
tion authorities on a charge of
violating U. S. Immigration laws.
Police said Anastasio entered the
U. S. illegally by jumping ship
in San Francisco in 1929. The long
shoreman spells his name with a
terminal "O," in contrast to the
spelling use by his four brothers.
Albert Anastasia was summoned
to appear before the senate crime
