Solon Asks Halt To Filibuster CHICAGO im Sen. Benton of Connecticut moved Saturday, to wrest from southern senators the filibuster weapon they have used to kill federal civil rights bills. He demanded that Democratic MYRTLEWOOD TREASURE HOUSE at Winston OPEN MONDAYS Why not try our Atomic-Burgers? platform drafters call upon the Senate to revise its rules so a fili buster can be ended. Assailing the Republicans, he said in a statement distributed in advance to newsmen: "In their civil righti plank of two weeks ago, the Republicans pay the same old lip service to the ideals of equality under law but conspicuously ignore the can cer of ttie filibuster imbedded with their aid in the Wherry rule." Under this Senate rule, named for the late Sen. Wherry of Ne braska, it takes a vote of 64 of the 96 senators to end "a talkathon." A. VITAL 11 From Mayor Al Flegel Twice within the past two months a budget for the City of Roseburg has been submitted to you and twice it has been defeated by your vote. In an endeavor to cut the budget to a level evidently desired by the electorate, the second election presented a budget modified by the amount of some $9000, Upon the defeat of this budget the budget committee again reconsidered it, deciding unanimously to submit the second proposal for a third try. It wai only after a careful consideration of the effects upon the city, if the amounts were drasticall reduced, together with the realization that less than 10 of the qualified voters actually voted and, further, that the second vote was within 6 votes of winning that the budget committee made this decision. It was only after the budget committee had considered the budget for the third time, and after the electorate had refused the budget twice, that the Oou.qlas County Taxpayers League, through it's municipal committee consisting of George Singleton, retired businessmon; Harry Pargeter, manager of the Umpqua Savings and Loan Company; M, E. Ritter, retired business man; Lon Wilder, retired busi ness man, and Glen Taylor, owner of the Fire Equipment Company, first voiced any protest. At that time they delivered en ultimatum to the budget committee to the effect that, unless the budget was cut to their recommendations, they would spend a large amount of money in radio and newspaper ad vertising to defeat the budget, thus forcing the city to operate for the fiscal year within the 6 limita tion. This ultimatum was delivered to the budget committee, and I would like to take this opportunity to name for you the men that have given their time and their efforts to submit to you a budget which to them is fair and equitable. Not by the most remote stretch of your imagination could you consider any of the men I am going to name as irresponsible spendthrifts or extravagant wastrels. They are: H. N. Jacobson, vice president and general monager of Youngs Bay Lumber Company; Harold Backen, Jr., manager of RE A; Kenneth Ellison, truck rental and service station owner and operator; J, E, Dent, retired Railway Express Company manager; Arlo Jacklin, owner and manager of Jacklin News Service; Richard D. Coen, partner, Coen Supply Company; Dr. Bruce Hetrick, dentist; H. E. "Deb" Debernardi, "semi" retired business man. All those just mentioned teamed with the following council members to comprise the budget committee: Jack Hart, managing partner. New Service Laundry; Bernie Saar, owner-manager, Roseburg Wood Products Company; Gordon Harness, partner, Douglas Paint and Hardware Company; Frank Ashley, manager, fuel department, Roseburg Lumber Company; Cecil Hugh, partner JC Sporting Goods Store and developer of Hucrest Subdivision; Bill Adair, owner, Adair's Associated Service Station and Parking Lot; Dr. Byron Woodruff, optometrist; and Harrison Winston, attorney at law. The proposition presented to the last named group of sixteen representative citizens by the muni cipal committee of the Douglas County Taxpayers League was as follows: If the budget group would confine all salary increase to not more than 5 of the salaries paid in the year just passed, the tax payer group would spend their war chest to help pass the budget instead of attempting to defeat it. The budget group, being men of reasonable qualities, felt it to be to the best interests of the city as a whole, that a dog fight be prevented; this despite the fact that they felt that the budget as it was originally presented to the voters was fair and equitable for a growing, progressive city. Acting in good faith with the taxpayer pressure group, the budget was revised as agreed upon and everyone assumed that the trouble was over as faros a budget was concerned. But no, now this repre sentative group of taxpaying business men, who at members of the budget committee have spent soma considerable hours endeavoring to assist the City of Roseburg, have been delivered another ultimatum by the Taxpayers League. Despite assurance that the Tax League would support the budget, its com mittee now informs the budget group that unless another $41,000 is chopped off the budget they will again open their war chest and spend prodigiously to defeat the fair and agreed upon compromise bud get. Despite this latest ultimatum by the taxpayers' pressure group, your budget committee has de termined that they will once more submit to the voters a budget to spend approximately $18,000 less than was originally submitted. Yes, despite the threats of the pressure group; despite the threats of monies to be spent in defeat ing the budget, your mayor, your city manager, your city attorney, Paul Geddes, and your budget com mittee dare to resubmit the budget as agreed upon for your final decision. Members of various civic groups have volunteered their assistance in getting out the votes on Tuesday, the 22nd of July. Among these groups ore the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Jay-C-Ettet and the Lady lions. I am simply urging each and every qualified voter to make himself heard in this election. Vote as your conscience dictates but vote. It is the recommendation of your mayor that you approve this budget. It is of the utmost import once that you do not permit an overly cautious minority to reverse the progressive trend of our city. This is a paid message, paid for in it's entirety by Albert G. Flegel, Mayor, Roseburg, Oregon. KRNR 1490 kc..: . 1240 kclCRJtL : BBHAININQ HOl'18 TOD A.

Cars Still Are Luxury Items When you pav $2000 for a new automobile, $614 of It goes to tax es. This estimate was given re cently by the Oregon State Motor Association in an appeal for re lief from federal excise levies on passenger cars. Federal excise taxes, which once were referred to as luxury taxes, are imposed on passenger cars alone with such commodities as alcoholic beverages, fur coats and jewelry, the AAA club pointed out. Now, lone after tha luxury label has worn off, cars are being taxed more heavily than ever. Kvery day 59 million American adults use passenger automobiles. Nearly 70 per cent of this ear use Foot Injured By lea Encased In Ice Peck INGLEWOOD, Calif. W Fac tory worker George D. Pauly, 35, dropped a 150-pound cake of ice early Saturday. It landed on his big toe. Later at a hospital the doctor found Pauly suffered only cuts on the toe and advised: "Go home and keep your foot In an ice pack." COL.

Robinson, who has sued for $134,000 in connection with his being dropped from the Waila Walla Valley Society, said Sunday that the Judicial Council of the American Medical Society has sustained his appeal of the expul sion.
