Superior 'Patton 48' Tank,
Nearly Like Auto To Handle,
Latest U.S. Army Weapon
By ELTON C. FAY
NEWARK, Del. ID The Army unveiled Tuesday what
it called the first completely new medium tank to be de
veloped since World War II streamlined, more powerful,
and almost as easy to handle as a new automobile.
Designated the M-48, or "Patton
48," it is .being produced at the
Chrysler tank plant here and at
two other arsenals. Official said
siieable deliveries are expected
before the end of the year.
The tank, in the 4.1 to SO ton
class, has several notable new
features:
-.1. A lower silhouette than any
other American tank of correspond
ing site. Present U.S. tanks have
been criticized because their height
made them easily spotted.
2. An egg-shaped, sloping, ellip
tical hull and turret. This makes
it harder for an enemy shell lo
get a "bite" into the armor.
3. Wider treads than present
medium tanks. The wider the,
tread, the better the tank can op
erate on muddy roads, in swampy
terrain or in snow.
4. A 80-millimeter, high velocity
gun . with a quick change tube.
Using only simple tools, the liner
of the gun barrel can be changed
in the field in minutes instead of
sending the tank back to rear areas
for replacement of a whole new
gun when repeated firing has worn
the rifling of the tube.
5. A 50-caliber machine gun on
top of the turret which can be
aimed, fired and loaded from with
in the tank. No loneer does the
gunner have to stand with head
and shoulders exposed to enemy
Tin tank is named for the late
Gen. George S. Patton, famous
World War II commander and a
leading exponent of armor. His
widow was invited to christen the
new tank in ceremonies presided
over by Secretary of the Army
Frank Pace.
The Patton 48 will use a four
man crew, one less than present
medium tanks a tank commander,
driver, gunner and loader.

Ceilings On Soft
Lumber In West
Go Into Effect
WASHINGTON 1 Ceilings at
the manufacturers level went into
effect Monday on lumber and rail
road ties produced from Western
pine and other softwoods in 12
Western states.
The Office of Price Stabilization
said the order applies to about one'
fifth of the lumber produced in this
country. It provides uniform ceil
ings lor all producers who have
been operating under the general
ceiling price regulation of January,
The new ceiling applies to lum
ber cut from Ponderosa pine, sugar
pine, Idaho white pine, lodgepole
pine, inland larch, Engelmann
spruce, incense cedar and inland
red cedar, and to railroad ties
made from these species.
Washington, Oregon, Iaho and
Montana are among the states af
fected. In another announcement, the
OPS said a second regulation, ef
fective immediately, sets ceilings
for direct mill sales of softwood
plywood, faced with hardwood.
Third Class Mailing
Privilege- Cost Upped
WASHINGTON Iff Users of the
bulk third class mailing privilege
got a 30-million-dollar-a-year hike
in their postal charges Tuesday.
The long standing minimum
charge of one cent per piece went
up to one and a half cents per
piece another of the staggered
postage Increases authorized by
Congress last year to help wipe out
the recurring postal deficit.
Third class mail covers circulars,
catalogues, similar printed matter,
seeds, plants and merchandise
samples. There is tremendous
amount of such mailings annually.
The increase, however, will not
apply to' religious, charitable and
fraternal groups, which will con
tinue to enjoy the one cent per
piece minimum charge.
Those using bulk mailing of third
class matter pay an annual $10 fee
for the privilege.

The cancellation came a day
after Catholics in the city were

Contest officials said tne arcn
bishop's ban had nothing to do
with calling the contest off. But
they gave no other reason.

WASHINGTON Iff - President
Truman said Tuesday the new eco
nomic controls law "weakens our
ability to hold down prices and
stabilize our economy."
In a statement, Truman in ef

giving him the stronger powers he

in the future.
The change as to the wane board.
Truman said, "destroys the exist

substitute."
In this respect, he said "the
Congress has opened a dangerous
gap in the mobilization program."
Truman got out a 1200-word state
ment of his views on the new law.
But at no point did he mention a
provision requesting him to invoke
the Taft-Hartley act in an effort
to end the steel strike.
Powers Whittled Down
The new law contained for 10
months powers to curb wages,
prices, and rents and to allocate
scarce materials.
But some of these powers are
wnuuea aown instead of strength'

He also had requested a two
year extension of controls instead
of the 10 months Congress voted.
Truman signed the bill Monday
and it is now law as the old con

Truman Too High
On His Federal
Deficit Estimate
By CHARLES MOLONY
WASHINGTON Iff - The budget
deficit for fiscal 1952 appears to
be about three billion dollars or
3s per cent less than President
Truman predicted.
This was indicated as Treasury
bookkeepers worked to get togeth
er the final figures for the period,
which ended Monday.
With only a couple of days' gov
ernment accounts to be tallied,
prospects were for an outcome
about like this, in round figures:
Spending 67 billion dollars, income
(12 billion, resulting deficit 5. bil
lion. The' president estimated last
January the deficit would be $8,
200,000.000. But his spending figure
of $70,900,000,000 has proved a big
overestimate, and his revenue fig
ure of $62,700,000,000 a bit over
optimistic. The main reason spending fell
below the Truman estimate was
that planes and other equipment
ordered for the U. S. armed forces
and foreign countries in the mutual
security program were not deliv
ered by June 3 In the quantities
anticipated.
The money for these undelivered
Items is obligated, meaning con
tracts 'or purchase orders have

$2 REFUND CAMPAIGN
Savant, In Fourth Letter;
Again Pleads For Return
Of Ante For Parking Boner
Maybe j'ou remember our "atomic scientist" and his
frantic efforts a few weeks ago to get a refund on the
$2 he forfeited on a Roseburg parking citation.
The scientist, Capt. William L. Finley, is still spending
much time and effort from his station at Berkeley, Calif.,
trying to get that $2 back
A two-page letter his fourth on
the Roseburg parking situation
was received today by Judge Ira
B. Riddle of the Municipal Court
in which the scientist pleaded with
the judge to "reverse your judg
ment" and "refund my $2."
Finley was cited when he parked
the wrong way on W. Cap.s St. June
20 while he mailed a letter in the
post office.
After the first two letters Judge
Riddle offered to set a date for a
trial "at your convenience" for the
captain.
The captain ignored this offer
and said he belives the "graceful
and tactful thing" for the judge to
do would be to give the $2 back.
"This is the best ethical and
moral solution to my case," the
captain wrote today.

Chair To Rescue
Drowning Child
HUGO. Okla. I A frantic
father, crippled since childhood,
rose from his wheel chair at a
family picnic Monday night to save
his 11-year old daughter from
drowning.
Olen Petty, however, could not
reach his son, Joe, 9, who. sank
within inches of his grasping
fingers. The body was recovered
later.
Joe and his sister. Lucille, were
wading in Schooler Lake. 16 miles
northeast of here, and stepped in'o
deep water.
"It was miraculous." said their
uncle, Cecil Garner, in regard to
Petty's attempt to save mem.
Petty, he said, is able to walk
only on his hands and knees.
Witnesses, shocked by the tra.

reached his children from the bank
so quickly.
Fireworks Show
Being Readied
With huge missies ready to burst
in air, Junior Chamber of Com
merce members are working to top
last year's record Fourth of July
fireworks audience.
Irv Pugh. who headed last year's
show, and is taking part this year,
said about 15,000 persons viewed
the display last year half of
them from the grandstand, and
the other half from their front
yards or surrounding hills.
The fireworks will start as soon
as it's dark enough Friday eve
ning and will be preceded by sev
eral acts of special entertainment
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Ken Anderson, head of the show
said his committee made its own
selection of displays rather than
purchasing ready-made fireworks
show. Some of those that fizzled
out last year have been replaced
by other displays, he said. Ar
rangements are also being made
to run the show off in quicker
time than last year, and it was
hoped there would be less waiting
between displays.
Commie Attack Fails

SEOUL, Korea Iff A beefed

lines along a half-mile front in the
Heartbreak Ridge sector of East

did not penetrate U.N. positions.
Allied troops won Heartbreak

Controls
Cherry, Hay
Crops Lost
To
Farmers Of Douglas
Also Pinched Between
Price Sag, Cost Boost
Heavy weekend rainfall meas
uring 1.75 inch was the "knock
out" punch to spoil the county's
hay and cherry crops, County Ex
tension Agent j. Roland Parker
says.
The two crops were marked iff
as heavy losses due to the rain
fall the past several weeks. Park
er said cherries not harvested
when the rains came were a total
loss.
The rain hit both crops just short
ly before they were to be harvest
ed. The weather bureau reported .85
inch fall from June 10 to 14. Then
there was a dry spell followed oy
2.41 inches from June 20 to 29.
The rainfall also downed vetch
and oats making them difficult to
harvest but was termed beneficial
to pastures and small grains such
as wheat and barley and was also
helpful to the second cutting ut
the alfalfa crop, about the 10 to 15
of July.
Prices Sag, Costs Rise
At the same time, Parker said,
farmers were caught in an upward
spiral of costs and a downward
trend of prices. The tendency on
prices has been downward this
year he said, pointing out that
Willamette Valley strawberry and
cherry crops brought less income
than they did last year.
Costs, notably labor, were up
ward, he explained, and a trend
of Douglas County farmers toward
livestock raising because of the
reduced need of labor has been
noted.
The Douglas County farm In
come last year amounted to nine
million dollars about one - sixth
that of the lumber income.
The Bartlett pear crop this year
is expected to be about nan wnat
it was last year, but with the rain
fall, the quality of the pears may
be Improved, Parker said.
A heavy 1951 crop and dry
weather last year were given as
reasons for the expected reduction
in pears. Crops seldom are good
two years in succession.
Italian prunes are expected to
rate about half of normal although
some orchards in the county have
good crops comin?. The crop var
ies from orchard to orchard, he
said.
Dunkin's Cabin
Fed To Flames
MEDFORD 11 Elusive George
Dunkin, who once stole back to
his mountain cahln while being
hunted for the killing of State
Patrolman Phil Lowd, won't do it
again. His cabin has been des
troyed. State Police Capt. Paul Parson
reported that Monday.'
Sunday night Lt. Paul Morgan
told of Dunkin slipping back to his
cabin at the head of Elk Creek, 40
miles north of here, and getting
an old coat, a hat and a little
sugar and flour.
It was Wednesday night Dunkin
did that. It was Friday his cabin
was destroyed. That eliminated
one of the places police needed to
watch.
The search now has settled down
into what Morgan called a "me
thodical check-out" a check of all
the many mine tunnels, cabins and
other shelters in the region Dunkin,
long-time hunter and prospector,
knows so well.
Parson said there had been no
recent trace of Dunkin.

National Committee
Hearing Suspended
In Telecast Dispute
By The Associated Press
The Republican National Com
mittee, in the opening round of
arguments over convention dele
gate contests, walked out of a Chi
cago hotel ballroom Tuesday where
cameras had been set up to tele
vise the proceedings.
Officials said the committee
might decide, in a different meet
ing place, to allow telecasting.
However, if. was obvious those
running the meeting didn't want
the cameras operating while the
television question itself was being
arguea.
Supporters of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower for the presidential
nomination have demanded that
the whole dispute over contested
delegates be televised.
Some supporters of Sen. Robert
A. Taft have been cool to the idea,
but Taft said Monday TV would
suit him if it was all right with
the national committee.
Seventy-two delegate posts are
being contested between the two
top candidates for the nomination
Whatever the national commit
tee decides is sure to be appealed
through channels the convention's
credentials committee and then
the national convention itself.
Taft Leads So Far
The Associated Press tabulation
of GOP delegates, based on avowed
and conceded- alignment for the
first ballot, shows 475 for Taft and
409 for Elsenhower. Nomination re
quires 604.
The 72 votes at stake include
38 in Texas. 18 in Florida, six in
Louisiana, four each in Georgia
and Mississippi, one each in Kan.
sas and Missouri.
Eisenhower backers say the
Texas delegation was stolen by
Taft forces.
They, in turn, claim the pro
Eisenhower Texans are, really
Democrats In dlsgufse.
The convention resolutions com
mittee, which has the task of draft
ing the 1952 party platform, called
up people with axes to grind for
tips on how to do it. .
The CIO released a copy of the
suggestions it plans to put before
the committee.
It calls on the GOP to disown
the Taft-Hartley labor law as one
way of winning workingmen's
votes.

said she had told him she was
too smart to get caught.
The housewife, Mrs. Duane R.
