(News-Review Photo) Herter Believes President Should Make Orient Trip WASHINGTON (AP) Secre tary of State Christian A.

Tight Money Situation Topic Of Dean At Chamber Meeting The reason for the tight money situation- in house--anrancing now is not because of a shortage of money but because of the desire of people and organizations with money to get a better return than can be had from house loans. This was the crux of a speech given at the Chamber of Com merce forum luncheon in the Umpqua Hotel in Roseburg Mon day. The 'speaker was Richard W.

Herter was before the commit tee to urge Senate ratification of the new U.S. - Japanese treaty which he said will strengthen the "fabric of international peace and security." There have been leftist demon strations in Japan against both Eisenhower's visit and the treaty, scheduled to take effect at the same day the President arrives. Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark) said the open hearing on the treaty would be followed by a closed session on questions that were not proper for public discus sion. - Herter told the committee at the open hearing that the old security treaty, signed immed iately after the state of war with Japan was ended, gave the Unit ed States the right to station troops in Japan for maintenance of peace and security in the Far East. But there was no obliga tion on the United States to assist in Japan's defense, he said. Japanese Socialist opposition to the treaty is based on a desire Water Safety Courses Slated By Red Cross . Mrs. Rummell, American Red Cross Water Safety Chairman of the Douglas County Chapter, ' an nounced that a Water Safety In structor's (WSI) refresher course is being given for those who cur rently hold a WSI card. The instruc tion will be given on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Ron McAneney, First Aid and Water Safety Field Representative of the American National Red Cross from the San Francisco Area office will be instructing the three day course. Ron is a graduate of Roseburg High School and more recently of San Francisco State College. The initial meeting is set for Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Arm ory. Two American Red Cross mov ies will be shown at that time, "Teach Johnny How to Swim," and "Boats, Motor, and People." Any instructors who will teach swim ming this summer should plan to attend. I business administration at th Uni- eiauy- ui uregon. The effort to get housing funds has been impeded by the fact that this market has had to compete with equity financing in which the investor is protected from inflation. In addition, he can get more re turn for his dollars invested. The demand for funds for hous ing is high, but the demand by people and organizations with mon ey to invest where they get a dol lar back plus some interest for every dollar they loan is low. No Specifics Lindholm came up with no spe cific answers for the problem, but he indicated possibilities existed. He said the housing industry should try to devise a method to get at the equity savings which are avail able. "There is no shortage in money, and there are plenty of savings," he said. But they are just not available under present conditions. Lindholm s broad topic for the meeting was money and fiscal policy. i I rtn k in tr -t Mn1 - conditions in the United States, he saia mac comparatively (table "to strengthen their ties with Communist China," Herter said. He added that the Socialists want to be associated with Red cmna in beliet it is "the wave of the future." "They oppose any relations with the United States in a military sense," Herter said under ques tioning by Chairman J. William -uionent (D-Ark). Herter said the treaty defined the Far East where the United States will help maintain peace and stability as being primarily north of the Philippines to include Japan, the. Republic of Korea and the area controlled by Nationalist China. Not all members of the senate group have joined in Fulbright's doubts as to the wisdom nf Vi. senhower's visiting Japan at this uuie. Sen. George A. Aiken m.Vtl took a different view. He said, in a separate interview, that only a minor percentage of the Japanese people are opposed to the treaty and a lesser percentage to the president's visit, "I think the decision probably should be left to the Japanese gov ernment," Aiken said. "If the Pres ident doesn't go it will provide new propaganda fuel for Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. I'm sure the Japanese government wouldn't want the President to come if they didn't have the situ ation in hand." The Japanese government reit erated Monday there are no plans to postpone Eisenhower's visit. Both Fulbright and Aiken said they, know of no opposition to U.S. ratification of the treaty, which was signed here earlier this year. The pact, replacing one signed aft er World War II, is designed to give Japan added recognition as an equal rather than a conquered na tion and to provide for mutual de fense arrangements. 1 ,200 Autos Checked Around 1,200 vehicles were check ed in the recent safety inspection carried on by the Roseburg Police Department, according to Bert Ea ton, captain. Capt. Eaton praised the public and press cooperation during the checks. It was found that 380 of the cars needed service, he added. i RICHARD LINDHOLM explains 'tight money' prices of consumer goods are due to the depression of agricultural prices.

A trainman said some passen gers became hysterical and screamed in terror during a wait of over one hour before rescuers could start leading them out. Several subway trains were stalled in the smoke-filled tunnel section, but operation of railroad lines into Grand Central was not affected. Officials said 86 people were taken to hospitals for treatment. Fire Commissioner Edward F. Cavanagh Jr., said the blaze ap parently started in rubbish and spread to cable insulation. It forced suspension of all service between the Brooklyn Bridge at the foot of Manhattan Island northwest to 86th street for three hours. The fire broke out at 9:25 a.m., but rescuers, hampered by the blinding smoke, were unable to start leading out passengers out for over an hour. The subway station under the big mid-Manhattan terminal, was filled with smoke. However, the upper level passenger facilities of the New York Central and New Haven railways which use the ter minal were not affected.

Foreign Salts Coming back to the matter of "tight money," he said the money supply is not going up as fast as the volume of loans in the United States. This means that bank re serves are cut back, giving the federal reserve system a tighter rein on the money that can be loaned. This power is due to the fact commercial banks have to bor row from the federal reserve. The University of Oregon auth or and teacher also touched light ly on the gold reserve situation. He said the dwindling gold sup ply is caused by the United Slates paying out more money than it is receiving back. He said he thinks the situation will improve as industry begins doing a better job of selling its products abroad. He said the con siderable amount of American travel and investment abroad has drained the gold supplies. , ROSEBURG, OREGON TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1960 Glide's V , " ' I .... -t-JT' " J ' ' CANDIDATE NO. 2 Lou Ann Shelton is representing Glid.e in the competition for the queenship of the onnual Douglas County Rodeo.

Sen. Warren G. Magnuson ID Wash) said the talks would con cern the "recently concluded Ja panese - Russian salmon agree ment, the failure to effect agree ment at the Geneva Law of The Seas Conference, and the possi bility of bringing about a unilater al agreement with Canada cover ing American off-shore fisheries.' In asking for a meeting, the eleven told Secretary of State Christian A. Herter that prospects of a good 1960 run of salmon from Alaska s Bristol Hay area are largely due to conservation efforts of American fishermen in past years. Test Centers SAN DIEGO. Calif. (API Tw9 Atlas missile test launching! at , Cape Canaveral, Fla., were post poned today because of the ma chinist strike against Convair, which makes the ocean-spanning rocket. The union meanwhile expanded its walkout by calling new "quick-. ie" strikes against Convair In San Diego. Some facilities here al ready had been struck. xne international Assn. oi ma chinists niillerl workers nut of two - departments at the Convair plant here in a continuing policy ot call ing quick strikes, a spokesman said, "where it hurts the most." Fiftv men who service Air ,t Force F106 jet interceptors before they are flown from the plant and an undetermined number of main tenance workers Inside the plant were called off the job today. This brings tne total ot iabi members out at missile bases and plants to about 2,450, a spokesman . said. The number of IAM .workers at Convair facilities prior to tha strike was given as 27,235. Word of the postponement of tha . Cape Canaveral test firings came from the Air Force in Washington. The launchings had been , sched uled for this week. The strike, which was called early Monday by the IAM in. the -wage dispute, has curtailed activ ity at live missile bases including -Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., : site of the nation's only combat- , ready Atlas launching pads. Construction of new launchlnes facilities has been slowed at Van denberg because many workers are refusing to cross the IAM picket lines. However, the machinists today agreed to confine their picket lines at Cape Canaveral to Convair op erations inside that missile test center instead of placing them at entrances to the facility. The decision means that eon- , structlon work can resume on key . launching complexes. Some 2,000 building tradesmen honored the machinists' lines Monday, hatting . all construction work. Approxi mately 500 members of other un- ; ions also refused to cross the lines, but they too will be able to resume work now. A Polaris submarine missile was launched at Cape Canaveral to day.

However: an other 25,000 IAM workers at plants here which make the big missile voted to go on working because large scale strikes are too costly.

They were: - Vandenberg AFB, whose " war- 1 ready pads and gantries are lo cated on a windy mesa and beach . 160 miles north of Los Angeles. .
