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

Mossadegh Again
Rules Iran; U.S.
Target Of Anger
TEHRAN. 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.

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.

GASOLINE TO 30 TONS
DIESU 2 TO 35 TONS
IF you use gasoline-powered tractors in the 45,000 GCW
class, here's big news. This new GMC Series 470 will
haul more pay load than any other vehicle of its rating with
comparable standard equipment-H to more than a half-ton
than some!
That's because GMC has found new ways to take dead
weight out of truck design by advanced engineering.
One example is GMC's sensational new "302" valve-in-head
engine that delivers 145 h.p. at 3200 r.p.m. It weighs less than
other engines of equal power by as much as 500 lbs. Yet it's
the highest-compression gasoline truck engine ever built
gives you extra mileage from regular fuel!
Come in. Compare them -in power, in pay load, in rugged
long-life construction against all the rest!
Then check the price and you'll agree: nowhere ehe r?' so
