U.S. Prosecution
Of Reds To. Stem
From Decision
WASHINGTON (AP) Widespread prosecutions of
individual members of the U. S. Communist party for plot
ting violent overthrow of this government appeared certain
today.
The supreme court opened the doors for an extensive
program of such actions when it upheld Monday the con
victions of 11 top officials of the party charged with a con
spiracy of force against constituted U. S. authority.
In an historic 8-2 decision de-l
livered by Chief Justice Vinson,
the court held constitutional the
1940 Smith act outlawing plots of
violence, and said the activities of
the Communist leaders involved
'a clear and present danger" to
the United States.
In New York, U. S. Attorney
Irving Saypol said soon after the
decision was announced that ev
idence of subversive activities by
other Communist party members
already was in the hands of a
grand jury. He said action would
be forthcoming as a result of the

Announcing this, Price Director
Michael V. DiSalle did not say
what the items will be, except to
tell newsmen they will be

Merchants will be required t o
post the ceiling prices as they did
under the wartime OPA. The prices
will be fixed by communities to
allow for varying local conditions.
DiSalle disclosed the program to
reporters after he had explained it
to the united labor policy commit
tee, representing the CIO, AFL and
railroad unions. The labor chieis
have been protesting that Di
Salle's controls were not working.
DiSalle said he cautioned the la
bor leaders that wage increases in
some cases would definitely push
prices upward. He said he had not
suggested to the unions that they
forego all wage increases.
Later, AFL President William
Green said DiSalle had not quite
convinced the ULPC the controls
program was working but he
said DiSalle was "making the best
of a tough situation."
DiSalle's price-posting program

R. L. Murphy, agent in
charge, said he had no fur
ther information,
Tollett, under 25-year sen
tence for the 1947 Sweet
Home and Oakland, Or.,
bank robberies, escaped from
McNeil Island on Nov. 20,
1949, apparently by hiding in
a crate of furniture that was
trucked from the prison.
Now 56, Tollert's record
goes back nearly 30 years to
his native Oklahoma, where
he served a number of terms
on varying charges.
Along with Joe Berry Bis
hop, Sam Scribner and Henry
Clay Green, Tollett was con
victed of taking part in the
$31,431 robbery of the E. G.
Young and Co. bank at Oak
land, Ore., on May 5, 1947,
and the $57,947 robbery of
the Bank of Sweet Home on
the next August 29.
Picked up soon afterward
at Bakersfield, Calif., on an
armed robbery charge, he
was returned to Portland for
trial.
REDDING, Calif. CP) An
armed man who was wounded Sun
day when he refused to submit to
an officer's questioning was Identi

fugitive from McNeil island federal
prison and one of the FBI's 10 most
wanted men.
He still was listed in critical con
dition in Shasta county hospital
from stomach and back wounds
from a bullet fired by State High
way Patrolman Jim Lane. Lane
said he fired at Tollett wtien the
man pulled a gun, refused to drop
it and started to flee while Lane
was questioning him and a com
panion on the edge of Redding Sun
day. The companion was named as
Rex Wilson Fletcher, 36, Musko
gee, Okla. He was hooked at county
jail on a charge of carrying con

den under the back seat and a re
volver was found in the car's glove
compartment in addition to the one
packed by Tollett.

From N.Y. City
Besieged Retailers Rush
Replacement For Goods
Sold In Opening Days
NEW YORK UP) The nation
had new price battlegrounds today
as merchants in several cities
adopted the cut-rate tactics of
warring New York City depart
ment stores.
There were no signs of a truce
in the price war that started here
a week ago today.
On the other hand, the war
spread yesterday to Baltimore
Md., Newark, N. J., Omaha, Neb.,
and San Francisco.
As the battling bargain hunters
stormed store counters, New Vork
merchants were bringing up re -
placement items for goods that
had been snapped up in the initial
onslaughts last week.
Macy's made the boldest ma
neuver Monday when it slashed
prices on Bulova watches. It re
duced them from a range of $27.50-to-$l!)5
to a range of $18.75-to-$121.88.
Gimbel's, Herald square neigh
bor of Macy's, promptly met tne
reductions and also slashed Elgin
watches from a S29.7S-S104.17 range
to a $23.87 $92.02 range.
Meanwhile, another price war
rior, Bloomingdale's, said it would
reduce phonograph records by 30
percent starting today,
Brooklyn's Abraham and Straus
said it would add a long list of
Father's day gifts to its price
slushed items. The holiday is June
17.
Gimbel's and Hearn's remained
open last night until 8 o'clock a
schedule normally reserved for
Thursday nights and Christmas
rushes.
In the Bronx, three persons were
Injured in a rush on the Rogers
department store,' where $h9.H5
Lewyt vacuum cleaners were of
fered for $49 99.
At other stores, 100 tablet bot
tles of aspirin sold for 17 cents.
Normally selling for 59 cents, the
aspirin had opened at 24 cents.
Despite the price slashes, New
York department stores reported
dollar sales for last week gener
ally up 25 percent over the same
week a year ago, according to a
federal reserve bank survey.
Philadelphia department stores,
in contrast, showed a marked drop
in the absence of a price skir
mish. Some merchants thought
shoppers were holding back, wail
ing for the price war to hit that
city.
The price war, following a U. S.
supreme court ruling upsetting
much fair-trade law price-fixing,
drew thousands to San Francisco's
Market street stores. Weinstein's
department store led off San Fran
cisco's bargain battle, and other
merchants jumped into the fray.
New Jersey's biggest depart
ment store, L. Bamberger & Co.,
of Newark, started cutting i t s
prices to meet New York competi
tion. This store is a Macy affiliate.
In Baltimore, Gutman's c u t
prices on fair-traded items rang

County Library
Project Will Be
Discussed Here'
The possibility of establishing a
Douslas county library system will
he discussed at a public meeting
Wednesday at the city hall. The
meeting will begin at 10 a.m. and
all Douglas county residents inter
ested in the project are invited
to attend.
The principal speaker will be
Miss Eleanor Stephens, state
librarian from . Salem, who will
talk on "What A County Library
Would Mean To Dou'jlas County."
According to Miss Muriel Mit
chell, chiet librarian for Roseburg,
some libraries in Douglas county
are conducted on a voluntary ba
sis with books, magazine subscrip
tions and frequently the mirarian s
time donated. These libraries rep
resent a tremendous amount of
labor and sacrifice on the part of
the town citizens. In Canyonville,
for instance, the library building
was built by funds raised from
food and rummage sales and din
ners sponsored through the untir
ing eflorts of the Women's Civic
club. Under a county library sys
tem, these libraries could be sup
plemented with financial aid from
the county, which represents a
pooling of resources of all the com
munities, Olher towns In the county having
library facilities are Drain, Glcn
dale, Myrlle creek, Oakland,
Reedsport, Lookingglass, Sutherlin
and Yoncalla. Large outlying
areas, however, are not as yet
receiving library service which
could be provided under a county
system.
Miss Eloise Ebert, executive as
sistant to the state librarian, will
also be present and is in charge
of the day's program. There will
be noon adjournment for lunch
at the Umpqua hotel.

Sewer Plan
Survey Meets
Opposition
Installation Cost More
Than Miller's Addition
People Willing To Pay
Opposition to a proposed survey
of Miller's addition to determine
the cost of installing sewers was
presented to the city council at
its meeting Monday night in the
form of petitions bearing 62 op
posing names.
The survey was first proposed
Dfter petitions hearing So names
asking for the work were submit
ted at the council's meeting two
weeks ago.
The opposition stems from the
belief that the cost of installing
sewers would be too high for the
property owners to pay. From the
audience, Mrs. Knute Erickson
countered that the district was in
a "deplorable condition." She said,
"t feel that since we have been
incorporated into the city we
should get some of.the benefits."
City Manager W. A. Gilchrist
stated that he understood how the
people who were against the meas
ure felt, but, he said, the survey
would merely be to determine the
cost. Whether or not the project
would be undertaken would de
pond upon the expense. It it
oo'nted out that the rueged ter
rain of Miller's addition would
increase the overall cost beyond
that of more level ground. The
council decided to proceed with
the determination of costs at , city
expense.
Oiling Job Atktd
The matter of oiling a two-block
section of South Jackson street
rom Robert street to the soutr
city limits was also discussed at
le.iglh. The matter was finally
turned over to the city manager
to use his own judgment.
He reported that a complete
'limit up" job could be secured
for about $22.r(). Two coats of oil
would cost JIH30, and a single coal
would cost about $915, if outside
help were employed. As an alter
native, he said, the city employes
could do a one-coat job for about
$400. Mayor Albert G. Flegel ex
pressed himself favorably to the
suggestion of F. C. Frear, resi
de nt of the area, that a "dust
palliative" be laid down, but left
the decision up to Gilchrist.
Councilman Bill Evans, memher
of a committee appointed to inves
tigate improving the center parking
strip at the end of North Jackson
street, reported that the 960-foot
strip could be improved by curb
ing and leveling at a cost of about
$X00. After discussion, it was de
cided to determine the cost of
leveling the parking strip and in
stallation of a sprinkling system
and curbing on the east side of
the street. This stub end of North
Jackson has never been aceepted
by the city as an improved street.
The center parking strip has been
considered an eyesore, in contrast
to the well-kept parking extend
ing south.
Equipment Ordered
Looking forward to the new bud
get, the council authorized the city
manager to order new street signs
and certain pieces of mobile equip
ment. The stipulation was that it

$245,000 Issue
Up To District
Voters June 28
Additions To Riverside,
Fuller-ton Schools, Needs
Of Others Contemplated
The Roseburg district 4 school
board Monday night decided to
submit a $245,000 bond issue to dis
trict voters in an election June 28
for the purpose of building a physi
cal education addition to the Riv
erside school building and eight
additional classrooms at FuUerton
school.
Preliminary estimates indicate
that the Riverside addition would
cost from $100,000 to $125,000, de
pending on the contractor, con.
struction costs, etc. The eight Ful
lerton classrooms are expected to
cost approximately $12,000 each,
which includes equipment.
Balance of the funds would be
used for equipment at Fullerton,
Rose, Benson and Junior high
schools, bringing them up to state
school standards. Benson and Rose
schools would be modernized to
some extent
State Standards Sought
The Riverside addition will be
designed as a combination audi.
tonum-cafeteria-physical educa
tion building. It would complete
Riverside school and make it
standard under state specifics,
tions, according to Paul Elliott,
Roseburg superintendent of
schools.
The additional classrooms at Ful.
lerton wouid bring that plant up
to 25 rooms which would make it
an economical unit to operate and
afford sufficient capacity for t
fast-growing west side, Elliott
points out.
Enrollment Boost Looms
Elementary school enrollment ii
due for a "big expansion" in the
fall of 1952, said Elliott, and our
plans are directed toward being
prepared for it.
The Fullerton classrooms were
planned to be ready by the fall
of 1952 while the auditorium-gymnasium
at Riverside should b e
readv this winter if voters approve
the project.
Plans call for the Riverside ad.
dition to be built onto the south
wing of the present building, next
to Walnut street. The Fullerton
classrooms would be built onto the
existing three wings.
