City Needs Welding Factor For Centennial Plan Spur, Director Robinson States Roseburg needs a unifying factor, and if the Doucrlas County Centennial Celebration can contribute to that unity it has accomplished more than its intended purpose, according to Horace W, Robinson, Centennial director. Robinson, who is in the process of recruiting talent for the big show as well as preparing for other programs in con nection with the Centennial, spoke to the Roseburg Kiwanis Club Tuesday noon. Using as his theme, "What's Wrong With Roseburg," Robinson stated he had been warned that RnsAhiircf u. a a "fitnnv" Inu-n lla aid thai rietnit the wurnin? he p.m., Mel Venter's Centennial came with the feeling that, sotiolo- j Broadcast, 8 p.m., princess beauty gically, all communities are the ad talent contest, Aug. 2, 9 p.m., of town for entertainment. , He listed events leading up to the pageant, Including Aug. 1, 2:30 same, "Theatrically every town 1 s alike," he explained. "I have ' found, however." he raid, that Roseburg Is a little diff erent. I have much to learn about it. But that difference is of a tem porary nature.

He discussed briefly the com ing pageant, which will have, he said, the largest stage in America, wilh a cast of 1,500 actors singers, dancers and riders.

Iran ( A frenii.'d mob of 50,000 screamed anew Wednesday for the death of former Premier Ahmed Qavam and anti American fe?ling rose in Tehran in the wake of Mohammed Mossa degh's latest triumphs at home and abroad. Mossadegh, renominated prem ier Tuesday by the lower House of Parliament, now appeared undis puted boss of Iran as a result of Monday's violent outbreak which swept Qavam from his briefly held seat and Tuesday's decision of the International Court of Just ice favoring Iran in its oil dispute with Britain. The anti-American feeling stem med from growing belief that the United States had supported Qa vam, whose announced intention to seek a settlement with Britaiu ,iad touched off the rioting. Many Iranians also were angered that the American judge on ths World Court had voted against the majority ruling upholding Iran's contention that the court had no jurisdiction over the British- I Iranian dispute. The huge crowd jamming Ihs ancient Ark Mosque in Tehran's bazaar section was told Qavam had been arretted but had escaped immediately after. Unconfirmed reports persisted, however, that he was being held by police south of the capital. The demonstration memorialized those killed in Monday's clashes between demonstrators and the po lice and troops. $20 BAIL FORFEITED Judge Ira B. Riddle today .-ed S20 bail of Clifton Veal.

' Park. Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia as a running mate for Stevenson. Russell, in bidding for the lop spot, has said repeatedly that he didn't want the vice-presidential nomination. If he stuck by that attitude and party velerans had their way on their proposed Stevenson-Southerner ticket the second place might go either to Sen. John Spark man of Alabama or Sen, William Fulbright of Arkansas. Backers of Sen. Esles Kefauver of Tennessee and Averell Harri man, other aspirants for the presi dential nomination, were not giving up their fights despite the increas ing Stevenson boom. Ktfauvtr Critical Kefauver himself spoke out against what he called a "synthetic draft," and said delegates don't know how Stevenson stands on the issues of the day, "The people are entitled to know how the candidates stand on such questions as the Taft-Hartley law, farm legislation and civil rights," Kefauver told a gathering of chair men of state organizations which have worked for his candidacy. , He also said supporters should ignore all reports that he would be given the vice presidential nom ination. Most of the heat apparently had gone out of the North-South scrap over a "lovaltv oledse" as a result ' nf a rnmnrnmisA drafted WpHn.c. day night in line with suggestions telephoned by Charles Murphy, personal counsel for President Truman. In effect, the compromise says no delegate would have to pledge his support to put the convention's nominees on his state's ticket as the rightful Democratic'nominees if such a pledge would contravene state laws or state party rules.
