The department now is trying to decide on a site. In urging the Oregon location, Ellsworth noted in a letter toj Agriculture Secretary Benson that I the site not only is owned by the! government but has water and sewage disposal facilities.

Nixon Says Deeds, Not Words Needed From Russ (Continued from Page One) ally, we may weaken our alli ances and thus invite the very war we seek to avoid.' The Vico President said this di lemma can be solved by telling the world "as we have, that we aro always ready to listen to words of peace, but that we will act only when these words are followed by deeds. "Some complain that such a pol icy is too firm, too rigid," he con tinued, "but a firm policy will not discourage the Kremlin if it really seeks peace." He said the recent Soviet an nouncement of troop reductions and scrapping of some naval units "will not affect the core of its military strength." "A real disarmament pro gram," Nixon said, "must cut deeply In three areas of offensive weapons atomic weapons, bomb ers and guided missiles, and long range submarines." Until such actions have taken place and been confirmed by an "adequate inspection system, he said, "we can jiot say that deeds have been added to words in this phase of the Soviet peace cam paign."

He said the Roseburg City Council had been approached by the Roseburg City Library Board and inc Douglas county Library Board, jointly. The council was asked for $8,500 as Roseburg's contribution to offset contribu tions expected from other librar ies in the county, he said. Barker said he had not understood the problem. He agreed with earlier speakers that "outlying libraries of the county had received a bad deal." Residents attending the Friday evening session in the new county library quarters in the courthouse appeared to agree that much "mis understanding of the subject by a great many citizens was preva lent." Board members in the coun ty should make an effort to pre sent the problem in a thoroughly understandable manner to resi dents of their respective commun- itus, it was felt. Each library board mem ber speaking expressed the hope ui ,ii wun tne cooperation of all of: the boards, the county court andj the budget committee will work' out a satisfactory solution to the problem at the budget hearing1 Monday at 10 a.m. at the court house. The problem, referred to often during the session, came to a head when the county budget committee deleted salary items from the bud get. Prior to that county library board members, had told city li brary boards that the county would pay the salary of librarians, if the cities would provide housing for branch libraries. After Reedsport had complained formally June 21, the court said it had not been told of such com mittments. It commended the li hrary board for 'enthusiasm" but administered a warning that com mitlomonts should not be made without knowledge of the court. Court members added that the county board would have to work out ils own solution to the prom ise, if the salary item was not restored to the budget.

One of the new posts was to be at Roseburg, and was to be known as the Roseburg Post. But in 1930.

VFW To Ask Legislature For Sports Rates Changes (Continued from Page One cial rates on hunting and licenses for disabled veterans. The second called for extension of educational benefits for World War II veter ans. The first resolution pointed out that an "inequitable situation" ex ists in the certification of disabled veterans for special rates on the licenses in some cases. The present state law allows vet erans with 25 per cent or more disability the special rates, provid ed the disability is certified by the Veterans Administration. But, the recommendation stales, many veterans were discharged by the armed forces for medical reasons, and retirement pay for disabilities are disbursed through the armed forces rather than through the VA. Because records are kept by the armed forces rathen, than the VA, some veterans are losing out on the benefit, said the resolution. The second resolution said many World War II veterans are depend ing on state aid after federal GI , benefits run out. The 1955 Legisla ture terminated educational aid to veterans, and the resolution asks the Legislature to "reinstato and extend" the benefits. Among other resolutions were pe titions to Congress to extend until July 25, 1962, the federai GI loan program under the amended Serv icemen's Readjustment Act of 1944; asking that the House-approved vet erans pension act be passed by the Senate and citing Reps. Ellsworth, Coon and Green for their votes in favor of the act in the House; and making adjustments in VA proce dures. One resolution approved asked Congress to authorize as campaign service for Spanish - American War veterans the military services on the islands of Jolo and Min dinao in the Philippine Islands. The islands were occupied be tween 1902 and 1914. The resolu tions points out hardships troops went through in the occupations.

The auxiliary enrollment has been running about the isame as for the men. Friday, a noisy parade banged through tho downtown streets in the late afternoon.
