The bulletin, a special tip sheet for all law officers in this vicinity, states that the counter feit band notes all have a capi tal ''I" in a circle on their faces.

' Steel Talks Peace The government's conciliation director, Cyrus S. Ching, hoped to get leaders of the ClO-United Steelworkers Union and industry officials back at the bargaining table.

Iff w Alt lee Rejects A A B A E - LONDON (U.R) Prime Min ister Clement Attlee Thursday re jected Winston Churchill's chal lenge to hold a general election this year. Attlee issued an announcement saying there would.be no election before 1950. He explained that he did so to alleviate SDeculatinn and attendant "disturbing effects on trade and Industry." The announcement meant that the Labor government intended to weather the storm of domestic criticism caused by devaluation of the pound and take its chances at the polls next summer. 1 By that time the Laborites will have accomplished their major project, nationalization of the iron and steel industry. The bill be-! comes law next spring. I Churchill challenged the gov-, crnment to take its economic' policies before the voters in an early general election during the .recent Parliament debate on de valuation. But Attlee said no. The prime minister's statement indicated the labor government iwill carry out its full term in of- decorated bikes and trikes lfiee until next summer, when f-- "'rutfr-Guinl PHoto Wilbhlrt B"rv. k,rjnr.,' Wr ,:K. now in progress, is snin? ittoJ i T t,,, la,rM fqnipmrnt and facil 'lit'I , Kirf Department.

A grand finale has been planned for Eugene's obser vance of Fire Prevention Week.

The parade route will be from the Southern Pa cific Depot down Willamette St. to Francis Willard School where prize awards will be made. Saturday also will marke the activation of Eugene's eastside suburban fire department sub station. This modern structure, at Seventeenth and Agate, is one of two $20,000 substations built this year with proceeds of a special bond issue voted for the fire department in 1948. The other new station is lo cated at First and Jackson. Both of these facilities will be open all day Saturday for public inspection, as will the central fire station at city hall. And on display at the stations from 9 a m. to 6 p.m., will be other new fire department equipment purchased with funds from the special bond issue. The list includes a $33,000 aerial ladder truck (.see photo above), a $13.(XI0 pumper truck placed in service here just his week, a $40,000 fire alarm sys tem and a new radid communi cations system. WASHINGTON IIP) Admir al Louis E. Denfeld, the Navy's top otficer, said Thursday the "view is often evident" in De fense Department councils that there should be no Marine Corps and no Naval aviation. The chief of Naval operations also told the House Armed Ser vices Committee that there has been "improper operation" of the military unification program. Denfeld sits inon policy mak ing by the joint chiefs of staff as the Navy's representative. Denfeld summed up the Navy's whole case in the airing of a hot row in the armed services over defense policies. His appearance in the witness chair capped arguments from a ung string of -admirals and other high Navy officers that present defense policies are putting too much reliance on the Air Force E-36 bomber and the A-bomb. In the final setting of the stage for Denfeld, the Navy had put in a statement from Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz advising that America's battle plans must as sume "we will be less ready for war at it- outbreak" than Russia. House Rejects Senate's Bill On Farm Prices 'Negotiations Agreed On Anderson System WASHINGTON MV- The House Thursday refused to accept the Senate's bill to set up a flex ible system for farm price sup ports. It stood by its own measure continuing the present program of 90 per cent of parity props for major crops. However, the House agreed to negotiate with the Senate on a compromise, through a House-j senate conierence committee. This committee may face p rug ged tug-o-war between represen tatives of the two bodies before any agreement is reached. Pass Anderson BUI After weeks of debate, a coali tion of Senate Democrats and Re publicans Wednesday pushed through on a voice vote the farm support bill sponsored by Senator Anderson (D-NM), former secre tary of agriculture. They substituted it for the one-' year continuance of wartime-level price supports voted by the House in mid-July. Leaders of the coali tion said they are confident the House will accept the Senate ver sion eventually. Under the Senate bill, the gov ernment would support major crops in 19S0 at 90 per cent of parity, but only if they were under production or marketing controls. After 1950, support lev els could range down to 75 per cent. Bouse Bill Differs Li and Cabinet Transfer Capital to Chungking HONG KONG (UP) The last Nationalist officials aban doned Canton Thursday as thousands of Chinese Communist troops closed in on the refugee capital. - The evacuation of Canton as the seat of government was completed Thursday morning when Acting President Li k ITsung-jen, his aides, and members of the cabinet left by plane for Chungking, COO I miles to the northwest. LI, in a decree issued before his 'departure, announced that the Na tionalist government will begin functioning at Chungking on Sat urday.

If you know the angles, it can be done legally. As an example: Two weeks ago, foot ball forecast sheets appeared ln taverns, barber shops, coffee nprs and other shops throughout the city. Thev offered betting odds to anyone interested in attempting to pick football game winnprs. Eugene's Chief of Police Keith Jones immediatelv became interested and began gathering info-mat;nn about the sheets and the parties seeing them. Jt wasn't liarrl to determine that they were originating in Portland, nor that the odds offered were ridicu'onslv low. .Tone was about rcadv move in on the opera tors of ths pnmW'nw settin when he de cided to check on Ms nrcnarations with District Attorney Ed I.uckev. Gentlv, but still much tn .Tones' sunrise, Luckoy informed him that he was almost certain that the nner'tion of the betting svstem was not iller'al under Oregon law. Citv Attorney John Prnininfrton was called into the huddle, and a careful check of both state laws and city ordinances sus tained Luckev's ooinion. BookmaHne. or the acceptance of hpts, is illegal in Orppon onlv when the bets in volve rares. This ban was writ'en ''nto the state code to protect nari-mnt"e! bet'ing practices throurh which the state's own coffers are pnriched. As the district attorney told the Eugene rify counc'l this week, "an .ive-sieM on the nart of the state Irpislature" has If ft the door wide oen for bookies who take wapers on other tvpps of contests. The district attorney stigrested that the council pass an ordinance to put a local plug in this loonhole. and the council's iudiciarv committee, was directed to study the problem. But at least until such time as the coun cil acts. you. too. mav be a bookie, if you care to be one. The hours aren't bad and the financial returns are terrific. You can take bets on wrestling matches, boxing contests, tomorrow's weather or whatever you think will attract the suck- T .Tiiet eta rlaf rt ratinn The football forecast system is set up ' In this fashion. The betting slip lists the opponents in 16 Saturday football games. Favored teams are handicapped with "spots," or whatever number of points the pool operators expect will be the winning margins those teams post in the game score. For instance, a listing on tne Oregon Colorado game might spot the Colorado team 21 points. If you, as a bettor, select Oregon on your sheet, the Webfoots must win bv more than 21 points to do vou anv good. Or. if you select Colorado, the Buf falo squad must hold Oregon to a winning margin of less than 21 points. Jf the dif ference in the final point totals of the two teams is exactly 21 points, you lose. The pool "takes all ties." You pays your money, and you fakes your choice. The odds offered you depend upon the number of game winners you at tempt to select. You must win in every game you attempt to predict, hut for pick ing two winners, your return will be at the rate of S7 for every $5 you wager. For three winners, you nre offered odds of 4 to 1, or $4 to every $1 you bet. And so on. You can bet as little as SO cents if you want to. But whatever your bet, don't ex pect more than an averape return of 36 cents on each dollar waeerpd. And if you try for te "iacknot" n'ckinr? 16 winners out of 16 games--eJnn't exnect more than one-third of a cent return for every dollar you nut down. These bits of advice are based on calcu lations made by University of Oregon mathematicians. Comnaring actual risks with the odds offered bv the forecast svs tem, the mathematicians drew up this table: , 110 O ver Top In Chesl Drive The T.ane Cnunlv rht innwl drew very close to the $105,000 marK unursday, as Chest worker! reported $104,776 turned In against a goal of $134,958.
