Military Building
Bill Posts Record
WASHINGTON (AP) The House today authorized the
largest single military construction program ever presented to
Congress in war or peace. 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.

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.

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

waukie are in Roseburg's present
class 6.

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.

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.

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

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

nor had he ever been heart of.
Donors Urged To Register

As many donors as possible are
urged to register to give blood

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.

Incurable Malady
Dooms Her, 3uys
Sister Kenny
SYDNEY, Australia UP) Sis
ter Elizabeth Kenny, who won
world fame helping others fight
polio, discloses she is treating her
self for a disease she described
as incurable.
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.
Sister Kenny never claimed a
cure for polio. But she did claim
that those who recovered under
her treatment escaped twisted
limbs. The treatment includes ap
plication of thick, hot packs and
thorough nursing care.

American officials expect
out of the 50-nation Japanese
an overwhelming majority of
Moscow s delegates, headed by
actine Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko, have promised to show
up in San Francisco Sept. 4 for the
opening of what was planned as
a five-day conference.
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

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

Scene Of Daytime Horror;
Twelve Badly Burned
SEATTLE (JP) Charred,
smoldering rubble and melted
metal marked the pyre today
where at least 11 persons were
consumed in gasoline-fed flames
spewed out from a crashed B-50
air force bomber.
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

toward the Rainier valley wall to
