It calls for spending $5,768,720,000, The major portion of the proposed work, $3,480,661,000, is allotted the air force and will be used to strengthen its bases in this country, in the territories and overseas. The sum of $1,368,025,000 is earmarked for army construc tion and $786,267,000 for the navy. In addition, there is about $133,766,000 for joint projects and for construction of recrea tional and welfare, facilities at bases. The bill simply authorizes the program. Actual funds will have to be supplied later. The military services are asking $4,600,000,000 to get the work under way. This is in addition to the $56,000,000,000 military appro priations measure for 1952 passed by the House last week. The House passed the authorization measure after rejecting an attempt to strike out of the bill a $19,019,000 project for ex pansion of the Grandview, Mo., air base in President Truman's home county.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The latest (as this is written) from Kaesong: The Reds today brusquely re buffed Admiral Joy's suggestion that they indicate on a map their lea of a buffer zone based on the present battle line and the overall military situation. They stood pat on the single and inflexible demand that the line be based on the 38th parallel. Thereupon our Admiral Joy got tough. He told the Commies: "You have slammed the door on every attempt to make progress in these cease-fire talks. . . . "You didn't come here to stop the .fighting. You didn't come here to negotiate an armistice. You came here to state your price your political 'price for which you are willing to sell the people of Korea a TEMPORARY respite from pain. ...

Ousted Cadets Get Offer From Catholic Schools NEW YORK UP) Many of the 90 accused West Point cadets who had been wondering where to 90 accused West Point cadets were reported elated today over Francis Cardinal Spellman s an nouncement they could enroll in three Roman Catholic men's col leges. . Monday night the cardinal, say ing "to err is human, to forgive divine," opened the doors of the three schools in his archdiocese. Many of the cadets involved in the cheating scandal subject to the draft unless they continue their studies elsewhere said they would give Cardinal Spellman's of fer "serious consideration." One said, "The first good news we've had." Another commented, "That man really has a heart." borne cadets have said that col leges appear "afraid" to accept them. Many educators say it is not fear but merely routine policy on transfers. The cardinal's statement came as many of the 90 were preparing to leave the academy for their homes. They are accused of violat ing the West Point honor code by cheating on examinations. ihe cardinal asked the presi dents of the three schools Ford ham university, Manhattan col lege and Iona college "to ac cept any of these students who may apply .to them for admis sion." He added that the heads of the schools "have consented to my request." At West Point, an army spokes man, commenting on Cardinal Spellman's action, said: We are glad such an onportu- nity is available to them." Although many of the accused cadets were members of army's football squad, Cardinal Spellman made no mention of athletics in his statement. FIXIT SHOP ROBBED Al's Fixit Shoo at 320 W.

Fire Department Needs Pointed Out Resultant Insurance Rates' Cut Would Pay Cost In Five Years, Chief Mills Says The cost of several needed im provements to Roseburg's fire de partment could be paid for in five years through lower fire insurance rates in the city which would re sult if the improvements were made, in the opinion of Fire Chief William E. Mills. Roseburg's department rates in class 6, along with cities in the state much smaller for the most part. The saving in insurance rates could be achieved by raising Roseburg to class 5, it was pointed out. Oregon cities rated in this class are comparable for the most part with Roseburg. Class 5 cities in clude such towns as Ashland, Baker, Corvallis, Dallas, Grants Pass. North Bend and The Dalles, all of which either have compar able populations with Roseburg or smaller ones. Portland is rated in class 2 and Aston1? and Eugene are in class 4. Communities such as Enter prise. Independence and Mil waukie are in Roseburg's present class 6. Improvtmtnts NCtdtd The Oregon Insurance Rating bureau, in a grading of Roseburg's nirTystem done in 1949. listed fiv points for improvement of the fire I protection of this city, which would Qput Roseburg into class i. Established 1873 Allied Force Ready To 'Clobber' Reds, Van Fleet Declares Foe Hurting, In Bad Shape, General Says New Beating Given Reds, Who Continue Stand Pat Attitude On 38th Line MUNSAN, Korea UP) Kae song armistice talks snagged to day on an argument over the im portance of Allied air and naval supremacy. If cease - fire negotiations break down, the United Nations ground commander, Gen. James A. Van Fleet, said his troops are ready to "ciooDer" ine neas. In Tokyo Gen. Matthew B. Ridg way, U. N. sunreme commander. said the Reds have been steadily building up and are in a materially- better position to attack than they were when truce talks started July 10. Van Fleet, commander of the Eighth army, commented: "The military feels we would like to have the opportunity to meet the Communists if they attack. It would be a real clobber. "I don't know of a better way to get it over faster. "The enemy is hurting. He is in bad shape. He needs peace." Van Fleet's opinion of the abil ity of the 8th army to meet a Red onslaught coincided with views ex pressed by Ridgway, when the top Allied commander told about ahe Red build-up.. - Ridgway said' the U. N. posi tion was not inflexible, but that his troops must have a defensible po sition during a truce approximately along their present battle line. He said the U. N. won't go back to the 38th parallel, where the Reds want to set up a buffer zone. Rtd Standing Pat At Kaesong. just before negotia tors adjourned until Wednesday, North Korean Let. Gen. Nam II, top Red envoy, wound up Tues day's session by announcing the Red demand for a truce on the old political boundary line is unshak able. It was the demilitarized zone deadlock which generated the ar gument at Kaesong over U. N. air and navy might. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, head of the U. N. delegation, told the Reds that Allied planes and war ships "are prosecuting a war be hind your front lines which is not duplicated behind our lines." A U. N. spokesman said this was a reply to a one-hour and 13-min-ute attack by General Nam at tempting to "discredit the inde pendent effectiviness of air and naval power which the U. N. com mand would relinquish in an ar mistice." In one breath the North Korean said they weren't doing much good and in the next he said the Reds would run U. N. troops out of Ko rea except for Allied planes and warships. Red front line troops, which Gen.

In addition, the report stated that the department is badly in need of more paid men. Present full-time staff consists of the chief and two men. His other assistants are volunteers. The report suggested a chief and five men on duty at all times, plus sleeping quarters for at least five men, in addition to five full-time men on duty at night. Sufficient sleeping quarters t o house the required number of men would involve, remodeling of the fire department quarters where four sleeping rooms are now avail able. An addition;! six rooms would be needed. However, Chief Mills doubted the practicality of remodeling the present quarters in view of the confined space and the age of the structure. Roseburg should" have an aerial or city service ladder truck so the fire department would have auffi cieri) ladders to reach the tallest builifing In the city, the report stated. The city is urgently in need of a municipal fire alarm system class C, which should be installed in accordance with the national board wguJlions. Four Children Perish As Fire Destroys Home SPOKANE UP) Four chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Brotherton died in a fire that flashed through the family home at Deep Creek, 11 miles west of here, early this morning. The parents were away when the fire broke out. The Brothertons' oldest child, Margie, 11, was awakened shortly after midnight by the crackling of flames in the two story frame building, but too late to save her brothers and sisters: Donna Jean, 8; Jerry, 5, and twins jo Ann and Larry Jr., 6. Cause of the blaze was not known immediately. Mrs. Broth erton was hospitalized for treat ment of shock. GHASTLY GRAMMAR Friend Seeker Writes 'Note1 To Police Chief Police Chief Lloyd J. Larsen re cently received a rather unusual letter from a Mr. Alprido Bacher in the Philippines addressed "To The Boss of Roseburg Police Dept., Oregon Gen. Del., U.S.A. Bacher wished to locate a friend named Albert P. Bacher in this vicinity. It was not specified whether he was a relative. One peso was included to cover mail ing costs. i It read, "Dear Sir, I hoping you will be surprising upon receiving y very humble note of mine cause 1 am hoping you can help me at the one friend whom very dearly to wiin me I wisn you known him, Sir do you know Albert P. Bacner?" . . . It rambled on for several pages. The department had no informa tion on the location of the subject nor had he ever been heart of. Donors Urged To Register For Bloodmobile Visit As many donors as possible are urged to register to give blood when the Red Cross bloodmobile arrives in Roseburg Thursday. It will be at the Elks temple from 2 to 5:30 p.m. From 10 to 15 registered nurses are needed to assist in the blood Erogram Thursday, Mrs. P. T. Bu ar, blood program chairman, announces.- Douglas county is "way behind on its quota," she said. Clerk Slapped By Shop Lifter But Saves Skirt A sales clerk at Georgia Lee Tot shoppe, 130 N. Jackson, was slapped on the face bv a shoo lifter and companion Monday afternoon but she managed to re cover a skirt which the two women had attempted to steal, according to Police Chief Lloyd J .Larsen. The two women escaped in a car bearing a California license before police arrived. A code of fire prevention ordi nances should be enacted and strictly enforced, it concluded. Othtr Defects Pointed Out Of the points used in grading, Roseburg rates class 4.9 in water supply; class 7.0 in fire depart ment (full-time employes); class 7.1 in fire alarm' system; class 3.6 in police department class; class 24 in building laws; class 3.1 in fire prevention; and class 4.4 in structural conditions. Lowest numbers indicate best conditions. It can be seen by these fgures that the items preventing Rose burg from being rated class 5 are the lack of sufficient number of full - time employes (fire depart ment rating), and deficient fire alarm system. The location of the present sta tion is another bad feature of the setup, said Mills. The station should We somewhere on Stephens street in order to renkr more accessible the north and south ends of town. Extreme congestion makes the present location even more hazardous, he said. A suburban station on t)g west side is needed, said Mills, to safe guard the hfgh value residents and institutions there such as hospitals jwd schools. Bottleneck highways and the narrow bridge make for !- difficult fire protection situation Mnere now, he maintained. KOSEIURG, OREGON TUESDAY.

The 64-year-old Australian nurse told the Associated Press she pre fered not to make public the name, of her ailment, but. she said "it is nothing hbrrible, unsightly or i infectious." The white-haired woman, whose controversial treatment of polio has gained her wide renown, said she knows she has not long to live perhaps "a couple of years." She smiled as she talked of death, but her movements were slow. She acknowledged that she suffers some pain, bhe said she has known for two years the na ture of her disease. There still appeared to be plenty of vigor, however, in the body of the woman who for years has bat tled to convince the world her un derstanding and methods of treat ing infantile paralysis are correct. Sister Kenny said that through her self treatment she had re gained better use of her legs and hands than she had when she came back to Australia last Fcburary after 10 years in the United States. She leaves Thursday by plane for a two-month visit to the United States, England and European countries to talK aDout pouo ana to listen to doctors many of whom do not agree with her meth ods tell of their findings 1 n the treatment of the disease.

The treatment includes ap plication of thick, hot packs and thorough nursing care.

Assisting him will be three other of Russia's more noted conference orators Alexander S. Panyushkin, ambassador to the United States; Genrgi N. Zarubln, ambassador to London; and S. A. Golunski, Rus sian foreign office legal chief and former judge at the Tokyo war crimes trials. State department officials con sider it a top-flight delegation. Department officials look for Communist Czechoslovakia and Poland, the only Russian satellites invited, to follow. Moscow's lead shortly and announce they will at tend the conference. The State department, announc ing Russian acceptance Monday, declined to comment formally or to indicate what its strategy will be to counter an anticipated prop aganda attack. . American Plan Indicated An American plan for thwarting Russia's designs at San Francisco, however, is reported to call for: 1. Limiting speeches to the sub ject of Japanese peace treaty draft. 2. A majority-vote rule which can be used to declare violators "out of order." Some officials Indicated the state department will not be too upset if the conference last longer thatr the five days scheduled. It would be better, they rea soned, to give the Russians oppor tunity to talk a reasonably long time rather than risk future charges that the U. S. rammed the treaty through the conference. Russia's delegates to the San Francisco meeting are expected to press vigorously Moscow's conten tion thet the United States is seek ing to revive Japanese militarism. No limits on Japanese rearma ment are contained in the Amer ican treaty draft. This stems from a U. S. government belief it would be suicidal to keep Japan.disarmed at a time when it thinks Commu nist China and Russia both have an eye on Japan's industrial facil ities.

Those who lived remembered the hot breath of death that swept through a hillside apartment house into which the bomber plunged Monday afternoon moments after taking off on a routine check-out flight. Dozens of persons in Seattle's south end industrial section saw the doomed plane suddenly lose altitude from 700 feet up and veer off sharply to the right. With its four engines churning at apparent full power, a wing dipped violently, the B-50 flicked against the side of a brewerv. then plowed into the frame and brick Lester apartments on the hill be hind. What led to the tragedy was as yet unknown. But expert observ ers theorized that the pilot, L t. Lloyd G.
