McClure, delivering his annual address to Grangers assembled at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, said that "one of the farm prob lems least understood by the gen eral public is the cooperative or ganizations which are so vital to the small farmer." Competitive Hop "Only through strong coopera tives can the small farmer hope to compete with the giant industrial ized agricultural enterprises that are threatening" to completely dom inate the agricultural industry," he said. He also warned: "The majority of Americans, I am afraid, simply do not under stand what it would mean to the political and economic life of Amer ica if we permit American agricul ture to become completely indus- "Now we have millions of peo ple who have no more farm exper ience than a drive in the country will give them.

A Defense Board spokesman said a 2,000-man regiment had been placed on alert and a division of 15,000 stationed in Tokyo could be rushed up if the situation warrant ed. The spokesman stressed that re snonsibilitv for guarding Eisenhow er rests with a 25,000-man police force to be mobilized against leftist demonstrations expected when Ei senhower arrives Sunday.

Zengakuren students tried to repel the police with rocks and staves, Eleven policemen were re ported injured, but no students were arrested. Major non-Communist leftist or ganizations were reported consid ering abandoning plans for a large- scale demonstration at the airport, although it appeared likely they would demonstrate elsewhere dur ing the President's visit against the U.S. -Japan security treaty and Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi's government. There were report! of a possi ble truce between Kishi's be leaguered government and its So cialist opposition to take the heat off Eisenhower's visit. Kishi's Liberal Democratic party was reported considering recessing Parliament lor three to five days, If it remains in session, the secur ity treaty is automatically ratified on Sunday, tne day Eisenhower ar rives. Firemen Answer Alarm , The fire came to the firemen at the Roseburg Fire Department's . westside station this morning. Apparently some hot ashes had been thrown into the bed of a gar bage truck owned by Roseburg Garbage Disposal and a fire start ed. Driver Leon Teller wasted no time in taking the truck rb the westside station where firemen took care of the matter quickly. Then Teller continued his trip on to the city dump. Tired Spanish Mexican Bull Mexico we were there! And are we glad to be home! That just about sums up the alti tude of 35 Roseburg High School students and their three chaperons, who arrived home this morning from their 10-day trip south of the border. The students tired after two nights of trying to sleep on the bus from Nogales all expressed them selves as having had a "wonderful" time, but anxious to "hit the sack" for some much needed rest.

Stender : said he had already started receiving calls from local residents stating their neighBors have high grass that could cause a serious fire. He said he would like to see all of this grass cut before the low numiaity time of tne summer rolls around and the grass becomes even more susceptible to fire. The fire marshal said that after the grass is cut, residents may nave it nauied away or contact his office to receive a permit to burn it. He pointed out the department linds it difficult to cover this prob lem in all sections of the citv be cause of a lack of manpower and is asking the cooperation of resi dents to eliminate the fire hazard. Council Awards Sewer Contract The Roseburg City Council Mon day night awarded a contract for installation of the Bogard District sanitary sewer to Jeske Brothers of Eugene for a low bid of $2,026.- 50. No starting dale has yet been set on uie project. The council also approved pay ment of $2,625.97 to Hoffman and Lloyd of Creswell for work done on the Millers Addition sanitary sewer extension. Other action taken bv the coun cil included tabling of the proposed $43,724.31 street paving project in the W. Sharp, Tanager, Oriole and unaeer sts. area. Petitions for and against the pro posed project had been brought before the council for the past month. The move Monday night means a new petition containing more than 50 per cent of the front footage favoring the project will be needed before the project will De reconsidered.

"somehow, the general public must be made to realize that the fam ily farm is the heart of a strong and healthy agriculture in this country." Farm Forestry During his prepared address, Mc Clure also touched on the problem of farm forestry, saying, "Perhaps the chief reason more farmers do not use more of their forest lands for the growing of trees is our present method of taxing forest lands and growing trees." 'It is a grave error for Oregon to continue with a tax structure that discourages farm forestry. The day is not too distant when farm forests must supply a major por tion of the saw timber for the lum ber industry." McClure's address opened the nrosram for the second day of the convention, which has brought hun dreds of delegates and their hus bands and wives to Koseourg. Suburban Growth The nroeram for the first day closed with the state lecturer's pro gram and mixer which featured an address by Herman Kehrli, di rector of the Bureau of Municipal Research and Service of the Uni versity of Oregon. Kehrli discussed the problems of the growth of suburban areas at the expense of cities and the prob lem of zoning for counties. Referrine to the drowth in num ber of special service districts for urban areas surrounding cities, Kehrli noted: "The Legislative Interim com mittee on Local Government which studied the governmental problem reached the conclusion that as a matter of state policy, Oregon's basic city-county structure should be adjusted to meet the needs of suburban areas. 'That means that mumcipal an nexation must be encouraged. It also means that counties must be ahle to nrovide services in those portions of today's scattered urban areas wnicn cannot or win noi pe come incorporated to a city." The convention continues this aft ernoon with committee meetings and business sessions in the Fair grounds auditorium. The program, tomorrow opens with a home economics breakfast from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the Umpqua Hotel. - Grangers Using Two-Buck Bills Vncahtn-tf morrhanta who HO- tii....! - B.,AAan tnnrt tt l-avplv llpH UtCU " OUUUCU v. . two-dollar bills today will know the Grange is in town. rrt,A ni-nrri-am WorlnocitnV Will in nlt.rlA nmi-ninty.lnnff ndi'iMlli lirfll conference in the fairgrounds audi torium with speakers discussing dairying, agricultural prumuuuu, J fnv mA local nrnhlpms nf farmers.

OREGON TUESDAY, JUNE 14, I960 138-60 PRICE Se Joyous Crowd Welcomes Ike In Islands MANILA (AP) A joyous, sing ing, almost uncontrollable mass of Filipinos today nearly over whelmed President Eisenhower with an ecstatic welcome. This land which the United States set free only 14 years ago gave Eisenhower perhaps the greatest tribute he has ever re ceived overseas. One and a half million or more roared their ac claim along a flag-bedecked route showering Eisenhower with a near blizzard of pastel conteiti and even paper boxes. The crowd rivaled the nearly hysterical turnout of Indians who welcomed jiasennower xo new uei hi last December. Sometimes surging out of con trol, the tide of humanity slowed his parade to a walk as they jammed to witnin incnes or ine open car. He rode beside Philip pine President Carlos f. iiarcia from the airport to downtown Manila. 10 miles. Acrid fumes from the slow-mov- ine ears occasionally brought tears to Eisenhower s eyes. Fili pino and American security agents strained to clear a pain in humid 85-deeree heat. One enthu siastic well-wisher tried to climb on the hood of the automobile, Police hustled him away. U. E. Baughman, head of the U. S. Secret Service, estimated the crowd at lvi million. Tne run- inninn nresn secretary. Jose P. Nable, said police and military of ficials set the total at inree mil lion 1V4 million in Manila alone. Dripping with perspiration, Ei senhower flashed his famous grin at the crowds. They smiled and waved back at him with affection for a home town boy made good the young Army officer who served here in the 30s and later became president. The display was unequaled in tne isianas' nistory. The tone of the popular greet ing was obvious from the moment Eisenhower landed at the airport after a long, tiring flight from Alaska via Wake Island. , Garcia despite political pres sures that sometimes make it ex pedient to strike an unfriendly pose toward America was un stinting in his praise of Eisenhow er and the United States as lead ers of the free world in a quest for peace. Garcia said the Philippines "is and will ever be the staunch friend and ally of the United States." He praised Eisenhower for his "patient, passionate ana unrelenting quest for permanent and just world peace. Resolution Asks Street Vacation The Rosebure Citv Council Mon rtnv nirht nassed resolutions call ing -for vacating portions or sc. Rose St. and SE Washington Ave. In addition to nassine the reso lutions, the council called for pub lic hearines on the two proposed vacations July 11. Two former city councilmen, James Knudtson and Roswell Myers, appeared at Mon day night's meeting to protest the vacations. Thev protested on the grounds Roseburg has too few streets now and can t afford to give away any of them or portions ot any oi tnem. The proposed SE Rose St. vaca tion would turn over the portion of that street adjacent to SE Wash ington Ave. to the developers of the former Central Junior High property for development as shopping mall. Police records show this section of street receives only very light traffic. The proposed SE Washington Ave. vacation would be for a three and one-half foot strip of that av enue near the intersection of SE Kane St. to allow for construction of a business office building. This vacation would not alter the cur rent flow of traffic. Latest Oregon Count Hits 1,756,366 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The latest word on Oregon's 1960 population count puts the total at 1,756,366.

East Roseburg The annexation election, which Calls for annexing the area penaral. ly included in the East Roseburg Sanitary District, was set for July 14. A public hearing on this elec tion will be held on July 11 at the westsiae iirenau. . - The area in Question for ahhot. ation takes in some 300 people with an assessed valuation of about $600,000. The annexation try stems from an attempt by the district to ODtain sanitary sewers. Three- Sewer Way Residents of the area were offer ed three possible ways to get sew ers. In addition to annexation, it was thought the district might con tract to the city for sewer serv ice, pending an approval by tha voters of the city, or that the dis trict might construct its own treat ment facilities. Tho board of directors of the dis trict, headed by President Alton Andrews, favored annexation and a majority at a public hearing gave their approval to can for the annexation vote.

Second Election The city budget, as has often happened in Rosebure. will be com. mg up for a second election.

The slate Department of Educa tion for a number of years has been requesting that additional land be purchased in order to pave the way for a standard rating at Days Creek.
