Ellsworth Warns "The TTnited States has the most outrageously spend thrift government in the nation's history." That was the scathing criticism leveled at the present administration by Oregon's fourth district Representative Harris Ellsworth in a speech before the Roseburg chamber of commerce Monday. He addressed the group, including Senator Guy Cordon, at a noon luncheon in the civic room of the Umpqua hotel. The representative warned that continued uncontrolled expenditure could be disastrous.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In Washington the other day Sen ator Margaret Chase Smith, our only woman senator (she's from Maine and a Republican) told a reporter she "strongly hopes the senate elections subcommittee can find some way really to get an idea nfi how much money goes into a pofctical campaign." y) do I. Spending too much money in political campaigns is an old and sore subject. We've never been honest about it in this coun try. We have laws on it, but they aren't much good and even such as they are they are not enforced. If candidates for office can FIND THE MONEY they seem to be able to spend it without much interference. The British are much stricter about this business of spending! money to get elected to office,1 especially in the case of candidates for the house of commons. Theyj permit only a small sum to be spent and if the candidate exceeds this sum and it can be proved on mm ne juoi iai i .l.Ej1i EjU, iju matter how many votes he gets. In the curious British manner, they ENFORCE THIS LAW, as they do other laws.

When the- financial system of a country collapses, that country is susceptible to a predatory man or nation, Ellsworth explained "They (Uie Russinns) have con quered one third of the world with out firing a shot because they have taken advantage of miserable fi nancial conditions within the coun tries they overran," he said. The speaker cited China as the outstanding example of what hap pens when people lose faith in their currency.

S. senator from Nebraska, filed today for the Republican nomina tion to another six-year term.

Timber Cuts Not Balanc.d The proposal to call in the state and federal road engineers fol lowed an informal discussion of the North Umpqua road problem Mon day afternoon with Senator Cor don and Representative Ellsworth. George Luoma, president of the Roseburg chamber ol commerce, acting as spokesman for the spe cial access roads committee, cited figures showing that since 1948 fail ure to take the allowable cut from the Umpqua National forest had resulted in loss of approxi mately $4,000,000 potential revenue to the federal government from timber sales. He pointed out that this sum would have built a large section of the road. He also stressed the fact that private tim ber is being overcut at a critical rate while federal timber, repre senting a far greater share of to tal volume, is still below the al lowable cut. The Umpqua forest, he said, should be supplying ap proximately 110,000,000 board feet (Continued on Page 2) Commando Raid Knifes Defenses Of Reds In Korea SEOUL, Korea Ml British and American Marines ripped through Red defenses 130 miles behind the front in the most pow erful hit-and-run commando raid of the Korean war, the Allies an nounced today. The Anglo - American force stormed ashore on the east coast Sunday night under cover of heavy naval gunfire. The troops shot up Communist communications and transport midway between the So viet frontier and the front. U. N. Naval headquarters listed two British commandos as wounded. No U. S. marine cas ualties were reported.

B. habre lets Tuesday sent 40 Russian type MIG-15 jets racing back to the safety of their Mancmirian bases in a long range chase in the ninth consecutive day of jet warfare in northwest Korea. One MIG was damaged in a 30 minute dog fight between 32 Sab res and 60 MIGs. With four other Red jets damaged Monday, this brought the announced nine-day score to 27 MIGs shot down, one probably destroyed and 26 dam aged, against six U.N. jets shot down. The number of Allied jets damaged is not announced. Allied pilots concentrating o"! Red supply lines reported they ripped up rail lines in 267 places Monday. Allied casualties, exclusive of South Korean, were placed at 107, 611 in a survey taken among U. N. delegations at Paris. Most recent official South Korean casualty fig ure, in June, was 212.544. Against this total of approximately 320,000, the U. S. has estimated Red cas ualties at more than 1,400,000. Heaviest U. N. losses have been suffered by Americans. The U. S. figure is M0.883, including 15,323 dead, 12,608 missing and 79,952 wounded.

This property lies im mediately to the- rear of Ander son's grocery and the change to Dusmess status would permit him to build a warehouse adjoining his building.

Detectives John Sly (that's his real name) said Sam Hill, 18, and Gary Lawler, 17, confessed to 60 burglaries of garages. Each, Sly said, was accomplished with a horse and wagon. Different colored horses were rented from various junk wagon operators for the burglaries. Sly said, in an attempt to confuse po lice. It did for months as the pair spread operations over 1 third of the city. Sly and Detective Robert Tran sue gave Mrs. Oliver Lutz, a 35-year-old hossewife credit for breaking the case. Mrs. Lutz looked out her window Monday and saw two "junk men" carrying stuff out of her garage. She went right out and told them to put that nice water beater back where they got it. Instead, they leaped into their wagon, lustily whipping Dobbin into a gallop. Mrs, Lutz ran and called police, who overtook the wagon in a vehicle that made De troit famous. Angry Students At Virginia Ml Stage Smash-Up LEXINGTON. Va. UP) sweeping investigation is under way into a noisy and destructive uprising by students at Virginia Military institute. . Before the Sunday night-Monday morning affair was over, the his toric "West Point of the South" saw windows and lights shattered, furniture burned, property de stroyed and some rooms flooded with water. The cadets wearied by the 40 minutes of "protesting" went to classes early Monday with only about two hours sleep after a five mile, three-hour hike to "cool them off" and discipline them. There was some disagreement along VMI officials as to what provoked the sudden protest. But there was little disagreement that the affair got out of hand for more than half an hour. Some cadets termed the damage heavv. A VMI spokesman said, however, that it was "not exten sive." He said the cadets will bear the cost of repairs. The spokesman said there had been some recent "resentment by cadets" to a "general tightening up" of VMI regulations. He added: "The disorder presumably was in protest of this tightening up. It is presumed that it was pre cipitated in protest over enforce ment of a regulation concerning the time cadets were required to, re turn to barracks on the night of a dance held the preceding week end."

Allies Spurn New Truce Conditions MUNSAN, Korea P) Com- munist negotiators Insisted toda : on four limitations to supervision of a truce in Korea. The Allies ob- jected to all four. The Reds may have other re strictions the Allies don't like. But these four came out in response to lengthy questioning by United Nations delegates in a newly created subcommittee:. 1. The Reds would be free to build air fields during an armistice. So would the U. N. command. But the Allies have plenty and the Reds haven't a single usable field in Korea. 2. Neutral Inspection would be limited strictly to ports of entry. The Allies want inspection teams free to go anywhere in Korea, 3. A ban on troops rotation. That would mean an end to American veterans coming home after a year of service. 4. No interference with or inspec tion of any reconstruction in Ko rea. Communist newsmen at Pun munjom said much construction work in North Korea is under ground and the Reds don't want the Allies to know where it is.
