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

Teen-Age Pair Nabbed
In Bank Robbery Case
SAN DIEGO, Calif. UP)
Two youths wanted in connec

Modoc, Kan., state bank last
Wednesday were arrested In a
hotel room here Monday.
A Kansas bureau of investiga

booked on suspicion of robbery.
Three-fourths of the loot was re

George Luoma, president of the
Roseburg chamber ol commerce,
acting as spokesman for the spe

figures showing that since 1948 fail

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

rate while federal timber, repre

he said, should be supplying ap

Before the Sunday night-Monday
morning affair was over, the his

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

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.
