"Si" Dillard, who recently returned from a trip to Japan, disclosed Monday noon at the chamber of com merce forum luncheon in the Hotel T'mpqua what he said was quite generally known in the Far East the ultimate master plan of Communist world conquest. Commenting on the ouster of Gen. Douglas M a c Arthur, Dillard said the I J. S. had lost "tremendous face" in the Orient because of the dismissal. Dillard staled' that the timetable I of Red conquest cslls for Com-! munist China to drive the United 1 Nation out of Korea and then to aack Formosa, Indo-China, Malay China, India and the Philippines. Russia is ticketed to knockout Japan, following up with an inva sion of Europe, except for the British Isles, he aaid. The U.S. is expected to fill of its own weight into the.Ommunist orbit by that time. Mr. and Mrs. Dillard returned to their Roseburg home May IS I after a month's vacation trip to Tokyo, Japan, to visit their son. in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Snoddy. The Dillards are well-acquainted with the Orient, having made a previous trip to Japan IS months ago. Robert Snoddy, is a pilot for Chenault's Air Transport company. Mrs. Snoddy was formerly Char lotte Dillard of Roseburg. Making the entire journey by air, the Dil lards stopped over in Honolulu en route home. U. S. Stand W.ak.iwd The U. S. lost face in the Orient through the dismissal of Mac Arthur because the Orientals re alized what a job he had done. They lost confidence in the U. S. government while MacArthur "gained stature." Dillard averred. The administration policy of fighting the Korean war is "weak- i ening our stand in the Far bast every day." said Dillard. Had the U. S. won the war quicklv, he said, ! nennles nf the Far F.ast would have been impressed with our power.

Istoblished 1173 ROSCIURft. ORICON TUESDAY. MAY 22. 151 -fr 121-51 Council Gets Sewer, Street Four Petitions Urge Variety Of City Needs Street Oiling. Parking Area, Firt Protection, Celebrations Considered Consideration of four petitions, further study on West Roseburg storm sewers, improvements to water service for West Roseburg and clarification of the new city manager's position occupied the attention of the city council at a busy session last niRht. Petitions bearing 55 names of residents in Miller's addition asked a survey to determine costs of installing sewers there. The city manager was authorized to have plana and estimates prepared. It was pointed out that assessed val ues of some of the property in this area is too low to have the improvement cost Bancrofted. Bui the opinion was expressed that the property owners would be wil ling to pay cash amounts above the Bancrofting capacity of the projierty, provided costs of the overall project are not excessive. Oiling of South Jackson street from Rice street to the south city limits at city expense was re quested in petitions bearing 30 names. This street was graded and graveled and curbs were installed about two years ago. The council referred the matter to the street committee to determine the cost of oiling. Just how far the council can go in street oiling work at city expense has been a subject of much debate at the meet ings lately. Another petition with nine names, asked for paving or oiling of Mill street between Burke and Short streets. The petition did not specify how the cost was to be paid by the city or property own ers. The city manager was in structed to check into the matter and bring back definite informa tion. A fourth petition, with 26 names, arked that the center parking strip in the 1200 and 1300 block on North Jackson be maintained like the other parking area. The council pointed out that this section does not have curbs and only part of it is paved. The matter was re ferred to a committee, headed by Frank Ashley and consisting of rouncilmen nf wards one and two.

Rowlands had been wilh RFC since September IS, 1948, and was named Minneapolis agency man ager only last April 23. Symington said that Rowlands, acting on a tip from another gov ernment employee, rented ware house space from one government agency and then leased it to an- other at a personal profit of more 1 than 116.000.

Supreme Court's Swat At Fair Trade Statutes Opens Flood Of Comment By The Associated Press The average shopper pondered today whether any money would be saved as a result of the IT. S. supreme court's blow at fair trade laws in 45 states. In some areas there were hints of price wars, espe cially in drugs and liquors, that would benefit the consum Peace Hope Based On Spring Victory, Bradley States WASHINGTON tP) Gen. Omar Bradley said today that U. S. military high command hopes a Korean peace can be negotiated if United Nations troops "bumps off" the present Communist offen sive. Testifying at senate hearings, Bradley said that military men had hoped in March that some peace moove could be made. He added: "We still hope that we will be in a position to again propose something through the United Na tions which vould end uo in ne gotiations and cessation of hostil ties." Bradley said that the March truce effort had to be abandoned when Gen. Douglas MacArthur served what Secretary of Defense Marshall described as an "ultima tum" on the Chinese commander in the field. This was a MscAr thur proposal for a cease-fire which carried also an implication the war might be widened if the Chinese commander did not accept it. President Turman has said he made up his mind to dismiss Mac Arthur from the Far Eastern com mands because of this move.

Special entertainment during the meeting was provided by "The Timber Four", Roseburg's bsrber shop quartet. Rampage On Sidewalk Costly For Auto Driver All he wanted to do Monday night was to park his automobile, but William P. Hunsicker, 54-year old Sutherlin logger, stepped on the gas instead of the brake and charged down the sidewalk at 122 W. Cass street, tearing out a park ing meter, damaging the sidewalk, and ripping a magazine and news, paper rack fronV'the outside of the Bee Hive, according to Police Chief Lloyd JojLarsen.

"The lid's off." said a New Or leans, La., liquor distributor. "Here we go." Trade sources in Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York pointed out, however, that merchants may be reluctant about starting price wars in the current period when many items are under federal price control and other goods are threatened with it On the other hand, Connecticut Attorney General George C. Con way said the ruling "kills" the fair trade act in his state. Druggists and dealers in electrical appliances feared a return of cut-throat com petition. Joseph T. Meek, executive sec retary, Illinois Federation of Re tail associations, said that "the rul ing has potentialities for a trade war." In other areas, merchants did not seem very concerned over the prospects of price battles. The supreme court said Monday a merchant who has not signed a fair trade agreement can charge what he wants to for what he sells. Assistant Attorney General Mike Culligan of Louisiana said the decision apparently does not af fect merchants who have signed fair trade agreements covering nationally-sold goods. Nor. he said. doea it appear to affect the fair trade sale of goods that org mate and are sold in one state only. The Portland, Me., Better Busi ness bureau chief, Alan F. Whit man, predicts that manufacturers can enforce fair trade prices by refusing to sell to- retailers who cut agreed prices. Officials In many states thought the decision killed their own fair trade laws, hut many refused to comment until they could aludy the opinions. Solon Hurls Lie In Acheson Fuss WASHINGTON llpi S e n ator Wiley (R-Wia) denounced as a "damned lie" today reports that he and other Republicans are out to "get" Secretary of State Ache son in the MacArthur inquiry. Wiley told his colleagues there had been "inspired newspaper re ports" that he and other Reoub- licans were conniving on "a strat- egy of getting some administration witness. "I say that is a damned lie," he declared. Although Wiley did not name Acheson, the reports had been con nected wilh Republican attacks on the secretary of slate. After denouncing the report, Wi ley said: "I would like to reiterate that it has been my intention neither in this hearing nor any other pro ceeding in the twelve years I have been in the Senate to get anyone. I do not believe in attack ing personalities. I do not believe in smearing individuals." Bill Simplifying Merger Of School Districts Faces State Grange Referendum SALEM (API Th legislature's main education bill, which makes it simpler t consolidate school districts, tvat attacked by referendum filed today by the Otegon Stat Grange. Tho measure, strongly opposed by rurol districts which fear they might bo swallowed up by city districts, would appear on th November, I? 52. election ballot if 14,4 2 1 signatures or obtained. It was th key measure proposed by Dr. T. C. Holy, th Ohio State university education eipert, who was hired by a legislative interim committee to study th state school system. vj Under th bill, county committees would be elected to draw plons for proposed unified school districts. These plans would be submitted to state commissioner on re organisation. p After that, th voters in th proposed unified district would decide by maocjty vet whether to create th district. Under present law, any district can elect to stay out of proposed consolidated district. Re new law provides a dissenting district would hove to consolidate if an overall majority approved. This bill is th fourth legislative measure t be attacked by referendum. Th others levy 3-eent clgaret tax.

Tax Limitation Election Issue Friday A budget amount of S449.524.M above the six percent limitation for operating schools in Roseburg District 4 tor tne 19S1-52 fiscal year will be referred to the district vot ers in an election Friday at the Junior high school between S and 9 p.m.. daylight saving time. A public bearing is scheduled at 7:30 that same night for a dis cussion of the budget, also at the Junior high building. Increased costs of administering an enlarged school program have brought the total sum of the pro posed budget for 1951-52 to $1,100. 325 S3, as compared with $890,834.89 budgeted for the current year. An increase in the number of teachers, living cost adjustmenls of salaries, operating costs made necessary by the large increase in school attendance, higher cost of supplies and equipment and emer gency repairs to Buildings and grounds are listed as reasons for the need of more money. Estimated receipts (other than taxation) and available cash bal ancea are listed at $521,404.62, leav ing $578,920.62 necessary to bal ance the budget. This amount, plus $50,000 estimated taxes which will not be collected, make a total of $628,920.92 to be raised by taxa tion. Since the amount of taxes that can be raised within the statutory six percent limitation is onlv SI 79. 395.78, the balance, of $449,324.84, is asked of popular vote as a spe cial levy.

Enemy Tries To Enlarge Yedge In Line Allies Continue Advance In Other Areas, Readied For Chinese Buildup By OLIN CLIMENTS TOKYO -' UP) - Allied troops advanced in western Korea today, probed an ominous Chinese build up on the east-central front, and fought to stem a Red sweep in the east Infantry troops waged seesaw battles in the eastern mountains 25 miles south of parallel 38. Communist troops were trying to expand a wedge driven in South Korean lines near Soksa. Front line . reports aaid South Koreans were forced to adjust their lines for 25 miles eastward to the Sea of Japan. All dispatches referring to this action were heav ily censored. This fighting was on the east ern flank of the heroic U. S. Sec ond division which hacked four Chinese corps to pieces in a Red offensive started last Wednesday. Second division patrols probed northward Tuesday into a new force of 130.000 Chinese reported massing north of their lines for a new strike. AP Correspondent William C. Barnard said the new allied ag gressiveness and the enemy build up indicated a showdown battle. While Reds streamed toward tha east central front, they withdrew for the second successive day along the west-central and west ern fronts. An Eighth army officer said the Reds were withdrawing to escape American artillery fire, a major factor in the destruction of an esti mated 60,000 of their comrades in five days on the central front. One Chinese probing assault was smashed before it began. The on rushing Chinese tripped allied flares. The entire area blazed into light, exposing two Chinese bat talions. Americans laid down "a solid wall of artillery and boxed the enemy In and then shellacked them," an Eighth army officer aaid. Second division patrols checking the results of artillery barrages and night bombing found one small valley littered with Chinese dead. Survivors were in i dated con dition. All were well clothed, equipped with extra socks ana even extra shoes for a long cam paign. Rds' Back Broken Mai. Gen. Clark L. Ruffner, proudly announced his Second di vision had broken the btck of the Chinese offensive and could do it again against even greater num bers. He aaid: "The boys have stopped them cold. The Red units in front of ua now are no longer capable of launching a potent attack." Other officers reported Reds were building up in front of th Second division and pouring down its eastern flank to hit South Koreans around Soksa. Ruffner aaid Red commanders had hurled four corps 90,000 to 100.000 men at his Indian Head division. The division not only stopped them but shifted eastward to plug a gaping hole opened on its flank when two South Korean divisions collapsed. Officers esti mated the Second division knocked out sbout 40.000 Reds. "That marks the second time the division hss taken on four Chinese corps and whipped them," Ihe general ssid. "We did it one before in the Wonju-Chipyong cam paign. "I don't know the limit of th division'a ability, but I think we could handle six Chinese corps on Ihe basis of past performance." That means the general thinks his doughboys could be outnum bered 10 to one and win.
