A protest was registered on the basis that Mrs. Bauer did not in tend to continue renting the prop erty, but only wanted a place for herself to live. The condemnation was based on the premise it was to continue .is an apartment and that necessary work to bring the place up to standard would be 7 per cent of the value of the prop erty. The other condemnation recom moDtatior. had to do with prop erty of Mrs Emma Ohman, 320 W. Cass St. A petition from 24 residents on Ballf Street north of Harvard that the street be widened was referred to the street committee and the city engineer. Ministers Protest A letter from the Roseburg Min isterial Assn. censuring the coun cil's action on a liquor store site was read by Mayor Croft, then filed. At the last council session, the body gave it? approval to a plan to move the state liquor store from Stephens Street to Rose Street, behind the new J. C. Pen ney building. The ministerial as sociation pa:sed a resolution in "strong opposition' to the council action. The letter said the asso ciation's action wrs unanimous. Pro-rated distribution of city boxing commission funds to vet erans' organizations was approv ed. The American Legion, Dis abled American Veterans, Veter ans of Foreign Wars and Spanish American War Veterans will di vide $1,200, according the mem bership of the oraanization. Early Protest Heard One of two or three citizens at tending the council session, Noble B. Gocttel, arose to protest a rum ored move to install tennis courts in the city's Laurclwood Park. He said a petition had been circulated in the area protesting such a move. But, Mayor Croft said no peti tion had been presented and that he knew of no proposal for such a move. He said if and when such a proposal comes un or petitions are entered, they will he studied by the city nark commission. Street Signs Approved The council approved the pur chase of street siqns along Har vard Avenue as far west as the city limits. The action came after a discussion on whether the signs misht not have to be chanced when the city planning commission com pletes work on plans for revamp In? 'he street system. That was solved, however. when the council agreed to have an ordinance prepared stipulating north and south streets he called "streets" and east and west Union Leader Resigns Over Roosevelt Deal LOS ANGELES ( The head of the big Los Angeles local of the AFL Retail Clerks Union has resigned from the National Demo cratic Party Advisory Council on the ground that there Is t conspir acy "to wreck the name of Roose velt." The resignation of Joseph T. DeSilva, secretary-treasurer of the local, followed the suggestion of Democratic National Chairman Stephen Mitchell that James Roosevelt withdraw from the 26th District congressional race in Cali fornia. Roosevelt refused, saying the suggestion, if generally accept ed "would open the door to politi cal blackmail." Mitchell said in a letter to Paul Ziffren, California Democratic na tional committeeman, that 'f be lieve most Democrats would feel that the candidate would serve his party best by standing aside from election contests until personal problems are disposed of in the proper place." He said the party is not supporting Roosevelt or Rep. Robert Condon (D-Calif.). Rep. Condon was barred by the Atomic Energy Commission from a Nevada test last Mav 7. Mitch ell's letter said a Senate-House committee, before which Condon had a hearing, has made no deci sion and the AEC has not lifted the ban. Condon, who has denied under oath that he is a Communist, bas called the ban 'stale political cnarges. Sears Resigns Position As Counsel For Hearing (Continued from Page Onei What are the intrinsic advantages of the MICHELIN "METALIC TIRE ADVANTAGES 1. SAFETY IN OPERATION: Elimination of blowout and bead failures, py cellent resistance to deep cuts. Rarefication of ply separation ond impact breaks. Belter re sistance to bruises. While sufficiently sharp ob jects can pierce METALIC Tires, ordinary punct ures ore greatly reduced. The protector a standard feature in METALIC Tires (consisting of a heavy liner made of soft rubber crmen'rd insido the casing) provides added insurance a qainst punctures, making flats exceedingly ra'e in operation. Thus with METALIC, there is no longer the risk of costly road dcloys. Like onv other tire, Michelin METALIC con be ruined by under-inflation, bleeding, bad rims or faulty mountings. 2 OP.ERATINC TEMPERATURES: Michelin METALIC Tires operate unde' severe conditions at a temperature 20 to 25 decrees cooler than textile tires. This is due to th fewer plies flexing against each other, cud to better heat dissipation because of thinner wails. "Hot Spots" ore eliminated due to the heat conducting character of the steel cables, which render the temperature homogeneous through out the carcass. 3. STEERINC ABILITY: Excellent! This, combined with front wheel sofctv is a feature much appreciated by drivers of large busses or heavy log trucks. 4. FLEXIBILITY: The deflection of the METALIC Tire is superior to that or corresponding textile tires, became of its 2 4 (qccording to size) ply construction, Our LOAD INFLATION TABLE has been made out so that METALIC Tires, no matter what load they carry, will run with the same deflect ion, i. e , the one deemed to give th best runnmQ conditions, resulting in as even wear and high milcoae. 5. RIMS AND TIRES: Michelin METALIC Tires fit standard rims. Thev use tubes of corresponding sires, but their flans are different due to their bead specdicat.ons They are always supplied with special flaps and with o "protector". 6 BULKINESS: Using the same tubes. METALICS hove the some inside bulk as textile ttres. Yet, waits being thinner (fewer plies1, the outside cross secti-n Is somewhat smaller. The loaded radius and the free radius are approximately the some as those of textile tires, the decrease in wall thick ness being compensated by on increased thickness of the treod.
