ANNETTE DE DOBBELAERE smiles with a trifle of self
consciousness os her picture is snapped. And no wonder, for
her fellow workers in the office of the Farm Bureau Coopera
tive Exchange ot Washington and Spruce streets were doing
a lot of sideline cooching. "Smile, Annette; remember the
toothpaste ods," one would remark. "Look soulful, Annette
you know how," another would chime. Regardless of the ad
vice she took, she did all right. Annette started work ot the
Farm Bureau only a week ago. Just recently married to Mel
De Dobbelaere, who now is in the army, stationed at Fort
Campbell, she is the former Annette Gibbons, a graduate of
Roseburg high school, class of fifty-one.

Sutherlin Physician

Dr. John J. Grabow, Sutherlin
phvsician and surgeon and one of
the few Douglas county pathol

the Republican ticket for county

"That well-stocked counter of
surplus farm products Uncle Sam
set up two years ago is taking
on the appearance of a bargain

I'd say that if we're going to
tinker with the free enterprise

review the proposed national leg
islation and to use discretion on
coming amendments."
At a meeting of the association's
executive committee Monday, Lane
and Clackamas County represen
tatives said they were preparing
legal action to obtain their share
of S4.25O.00O which they claim is
due 18 Oregon counties from the
federal government.
At present the counties are en.
titled to 75 per cent of the reve
nues from the 2 '1 million acres
of tjmnCrlands. The remaining 25
per cent g0CJ , the federal
government.
The counties, however, have not
received their full share. It is over
this shortage that Lane and Clack
amas Counties threaten suits.
There has been discussion in
Congress recently to reduce the
counties' share to 50 per cent with
part of the government funds
being set aside for fire protection
access roads and a sustained yield
program.
The group also voted preliminary
approval ot a plan to set aside
about 145 acres of O. & C. lands
near the Oregon caves for a per
manent camp site.

Reds Again
Reject POW
Swap Plan
Wrangle Also Occurs
Over Foe's Proposal
To Rebuild Air Fields
By OLEN CLEMENTS
MUNSAN, Korea I The U.N.
Command Tuesday rephrased its
proposal for exchanging prisoners
of war and the Reds , promptly
turned it down.
Rear Adm. R. E. Libby, Allied
truce negotiator, said the U. N.'
plan was reworded to "eliminate
any ground for technical opposi
tion" by the Communists.
The Reds still objected.
A second truce subcommittee
argued nearly two hours over
whether the Reds should be al
lowed to rebuild air fields during
an armistice. Neither side changed
its view.
In presenting the revised plan
for exchanging prisoners of war,
near Acim. Libby said "this is in
no sense a new proposal" but it
had been rephrased to cover ob
jections raised by the Reds.
Chargts Summarizad
Changes included:
A specific provision that the U.N.
Command would release all prison
ers for voluntary repatriation after
the Reds returned all prisoners,
former South Korean soldiers, and
displaced or interned civilians who
want to go home.
Elimination of a demand that
the Reds reclassify as prisoners
of war former South Korean troops
now in the Red army.
Red commanders would 'solemn
ly agree" that all prisoners re
leased by the U. N. who were not
directly exchanged for Red prison-1

Drunken Driving
Record Draws
Court Comment
Three-fourths of 1,578 drunk dri
vers convicted over 20-year per
iod had only "two beers." ,
That's the observation of Dis
trict Judge A. J. Geddes in look
ing back over a 20-year progres
sive career as Roseburg municipal
judge, justice of the peace and
district judge.
Recently it has cost more if you
get caught as a drunk driver
about $100 more. Fines in district
court have increased from $350 to
$375 to $500 in most cases. Sen
tences often include 30 days in jail.
The increase was made princi
pally to see whether it would cut
down the number of drunk drivers
brought before the courts.
"Whether it has or not is hard
to say: it's too early to tell yet,"
Judge Gcddos said. However, the
increase follows a general trend
throughout the state, he added.
A total of 1,368 of the convictions
were during his tenure as Rose
burg municipal judge.
Drunk driving is one of the
major problems which the court
has to contend with, Oeddcs be
lieves. Another is reckless driving.
"Drunk driving is a menace all
right, there's no question about
it," the judge commented.
Most of the drunken drivers
fined maintain all along that they
had only "two beers" and I've
had fellows tell me they can drive
better after a few beers," Judge
Geddes observed.
He added that he didn't mind a
fellow taking a drink now and then,
but if he docs he ought to stay out
of a car.
Potato Price Rollback
Hard Blow To Growers
PORTLAND The announced
price rollback will cost the potato
industry around three million dol
lars for the estimated 5,000 cars
still to be marketed, an industry
spokesman said here Monday.
To offset the loss which potato
growers said they will suffer under
the rollback, a marketing agree
ment committee said it will meet
at Klamath Falls Jan. 1516 to
discuss cutting size regulations to
1 W inches from the present 2
inches.
That would permit marketing nf
some culls, William Peterson, sec
retary, said.

Problems Facing Lawmakers
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON (AP) Congress reconvened Tues
day for nn election-year session certain to be studded
with controversy over issues on which political fortunes
will ride in next November's voting.
The banging of gavels in Senate and House signaled
the second meeting for the legislators who make up the
82nd Congress-elected in 1950. They recessed their first
Symington Quits
As Head Of RFC
Republican In
W. STUART SYMINGTON
Rtsignt Amid Storm
WASHINGTON An active
Republican prepared Tuesday to
become boss of the multi-million
dollar Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration under an announced policy
nf inane "ftn haeit nf hiicinccv
of loans "on a basis of business
and merit no politics."
Even as Harry A. McDonald,
enunciated this policy, however a
move sprang up to launch a new
Senate investigation of the huge
scandal-scarred government lend
ing agency.
Sen. Maybank (D.-S.C), Senate
Banking Committee chairman, an
nounced he had ordered an inquiry
into the resignation of W. Stuart
Symington as RFC administrator.
He said Senate action on Presi
dent Truman's nomination of Mc
Donald to succeed Symington prob
ably would be held up until after
the inquiry. McDonald, now chair
man of - the Securities and Ex
change Commission, is a close per
sonal friend of Symington.
Symington, a top Truman admin
istration official for six years, is
quitting Jan. 15. The President, in
a letter Monday addressed to "Dear
Slu ', said he accepted the rcsigna
tion with "utmost reluctance."
Sutherlin Area
Plans Fire D.st.
Petitions are being circulated
this week for establishment of a
rural fire district in the Sutherlin
area.
Sponsored by the Sutherlin and
Fair Oaks Granges, the proposed
district would extend norlh to the
soulh city limits of Oakland, east
to Nonpareil, south to the Win
chester bridge and would also in
elude a wide area west of Highway
99 between Winchester and Suth
erlin.
A total of 200 signatures are re
quired before the petitions can be
submitted to the county court and
a public hearing set.
If accepted in an election of prop
perty holders in the area, a dis
trict board of directors would de
termine policies.
It was estimated that s max
imum four mill levy would be re
quired to pay for the equipment.
After that, the district could prob
ably be maintained at a two-mill
levy, a spokesman said.
Fire insurance rates would be
up to ten percent lower in the
proposed district, depending on Ihe
distance from the center of the
district.
Year's District Court
Fines Total $111,547
A ftital of $111,547.76 has been
collected in fines from one year
of operation of district court, the
countv clerk's office disclosed.
Civil fees for the year of oper
ation, which ended last Dec. 31,
totaled $2,497.
Part of the monev. probably
about 25 percent, will go 10 the
state. The remainder will be dis
tributed to the general county
fund, county road fund, and the
county school fund, with the larg
est portion going to the road fund.
The court was enhried from
justice court in December. 1950,
! due to population increases. Jur-j

Vice President Barkley, presiding

burn (D.-Tex.) in the House called
the chambers into session prompt-1
ly at tne stroke 01 noon.
Only about half of the House
members were on hand, but the
Senate roll call showed 70-odd of
the 96 Senators present.
Many of the issues they wrestled
with last year confronted them
again. Dominant ones are detense
spending, universal military train
ing, economic controls, and foreign
aid.
Out of how they deal with them
will come records to go before the
voters in next fall's election of a
President, vice-president, 435 House
members and 33 Senators.
Truman's Mtitagt Awaited
The real kick-off for the new ses
sion will come Wednesday when
President Truman will deliver his
State of the Union message to a
joint Senate Houst meeting.
This will lay down in at last
broad terms what legislation Mr.
Truman wants from the session
and lay the basis for scrapping be.
tween supporters of his program
and its critics.
Aside from legislation, some oth
er politically potent issues are shap
ing up. One is Mr. Truman's pro
posal to send an ambassador to
the Vatican.
Just before Congress recessed
last October, the President pro
posed the name of Gen. Mark W.
Clark as ambassador and asked!

Stumpage From
Umpqua Forest
Boosted In 1951
The Umpqua National Forest
contributed 11.330,000 more board
feet of stumpage to the timber in
dustry of the Umpqua Inland Ba
sin in 1951 than in 1950. The aver
age stumpage price advanced from
$10.60 per thousand board feet to
$14.60.
Robert Aufderheide, forest sup
ervisor, reports sales of Umpqua
forest timber in 1951 to have to
taled 182.030,000 board feet as com
pared with 170,700,000 board feet
in 1950.
Forest service sales in 1951 re
turned $2,667,429, as compared
with $1,810,912 the previous year.
Douglas county will receive one
fourth of the income from all for
est revenue. Some of the sales
money included in the receipts for
the year, however, will be divided
with neighboring counties in pro
portion to the amount of forest
within those counties.
The volume of timber being tak
en annually from the Umpqua for
est still is below the allowable
harvest, Aufderheide says. The full
allowable cut cannot be sustained
until access roads are built up the
north Umpqua river at least as
far as Big Camas, he reports.

Taft Claims
Pledges Held
Insure Win
That Is If Translated
Into Votes; Expects Ike
To Make Campaign
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON Ufi Sen. Taft
(R.-Ohio) claimed Tuesdav that if
all the pledges he now holda are
iiransiaieu 11110 voting sirengin ne
will win the .Republican Presiden
Hal nomination
That was the Ohioan's answer
to the statement of Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower that he is a Repub
lican and would respond to a "clear
cut call to political duty" but would
not personally campaign lor the
uOl nomination.
Eisenhower supporters jubilantly
heralded the statement as assuring
tne general s nomination and dec.
tion.
Taft told a reporter he believes
this makes Eisenhower only
"draft" possibility, adding:
it an ot tne pledges we have ob
tained from all over the country
can be translated into delegates
when they are chosen, I believe wi
have more than half of the con
vention votes."
Expects Ik To Campaign
Taft said he always assumed that
other candidates would be seeking 1
me nomination ana mai oenerai
Eisenhower would be one of them."
He intii..ated he had expected Ei
senhower to doff his uniform as
commander of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organiiation (NATO) Forc
es and return as 1 civilian to cam
paign. But Eisenhower said at his Paris
headquarters Monday that "under
no circumstances will I ask for re-
lief from this assignment in order
to seek nomination to political ol-
fice and I shall not participate in
the pre-convcnlion activities of oth
ers who may have such an inten
tion with respect to me."
i alt said he interprets this as
meaning Eisenhower will have to
be drafted to obtain the nomina
tion, and commented:
1 think this wiil make mailers
easier for us."
SACRAMENTO. Calif. Gov.
Warren's backers are giving close
study to (he political implications

porters won't change any of War
ren's announced campaign plans.
California's favorite son candidate
has announced only that he will
not enter the Ohio primary against
Sen. Taft.
However, as Warren himsclf'put
it in Honolulu Monday, Eisenhow
