SAME HERE ITEM (Roseburg News-Review) "There is an unshakable conviction that one of the first major items of business on the Big Three agenda at Potsdam is the allotment to the Rpse burg armory of a captured cannon to replace the one con tributed to the war effort." It has been so hot here, own ers of fashionable "two-toned loafing Jackets" peel them off afternoons to loaf, hillbilly style. ... Tokyo reports the broadsides from the fleet raking the Japa nese coast are not worth opposi tion, and the results trifling. The lack of opposition is called a "side-stepping operation." This is befuddling logic, and there has been nothing like it since the 1936 alibi, the "plan to pack the supreme court, would unpack it." , .

The assailant states his Grandmaw permitted him to take a walk with the weapon, when he promised not to shoot It. He took a shot at the woodshed upon which the victim was seated, and, for some unexplainable reason, hit her. An uncle of the defendant slated to the sheriff the defendant was 13 years old and previously had fired 2,000 rounds of ammuni tion at various living objects without hitting them, and does not believe it will happen again. A number of farmers report their tractors are worn out, and they are thinking of getting a new one, or using something that has colls. Careful checking of all can ning equipment before using may prevent death or Injury. Even canning is the same as In viting an accident to happen. une A Ato) Kwrnin? The new Dean of Canterbury, like his predecessor, is strongly pro-Russian. Also like his predecessor, he visited Russia, had a long talk with Commissar Stalin and returned enthusiastic about the Muscovite All Highest and the progress being made in that rapidly developing country, in the direction of human better ment. If this were not true, that is, if the English church had not become typed, so to speak, as decidedly "pinkish" the report of the new dean, Dr. Hewlett Johnson, probably would nave made tne iront page. But with the background what it is, the interview was no doubt taken with a gram of salt, particularly in England and the United States. e . HOWEVER, biased or not biased, the interview is of genuine importance. For it indicates a com plete chancre of heart as far as Soviet Russia s attitude toward the established church and religion are con cerned, as well as an extremely surprising and re freshing spirit of tolerance toward other countries and England in particular on tne part or Lomraae ataun. IN fact, this department's skepticism regarding the 1 interview was intensified by the angelic spirit which nrevaded it, a spirit of such sweetness and lie-ht. that after observing the Russian technique at " . i ?. n jj j.- San a rancisco lor over two montns, h an auua up to one of those things just too good to be true. However, Russia is so important in the world today, what the head of all the Russians says is of such vital significance to this country and the peace -of the world, that we print it herewith in full, that is the full text of the story as it came over the wires from the United Press. Stalin is sneaking, we quote: "Religion cannot be stopped. Conscience cannot be stilled. Religion is a matter of conscience and conscience is free. Wor ship and religion are free. The church has Its history, and wc have our history. The patriarch of the Russian Orthodox church pronounced Anathema on the new Soviet government and bade the people refuse to pay taxes. We on our part were obliged to defend ourselves. The state had to act. "The war has now shown the church how essentially patri otic the Soviet government is and also has revealed the patri otism of the church." . To Dr. Johnson's request , for suggestions on methods of drawing Britain and Russia closer to gether and keeping them together in the post-war world. Stalin replied : "It was easy to keep together when We were fighting side by side against the might of Germany. But the Germans are beaten now, and it Is less easy when the tension is gone to avoid friction. , "But we want to do it. We want to keep firm our union, not only in words but in deeds. We have no wish whatsoever to hurt England or hinder England. "We want to be friends with England and friends in deeds as well as words. If your politicians will do it, we will do it." We. don't doubt that Stalin made a statement similar to the above, what we do doubt is that he ex pressed himself as he is quoted, for Stalin just doesn t talk that way. The attitude of the Kremlin toward religion and the church undoubtedly has changed since Lenin s dictum that "religion is the opium of the people," and there is also little doubt that Russia wishes to be friendly with Britain and the rest of the world, especially the large powers. e . DUT it should be realized the new dean does not speak Russian and Stalin does not speak English, so the conversation between the two men had to be conducted by interpreters. And where interpreters carry the ball, exact quota tion is practically impossible. AS a result, it is our belief that the above was phrased by the dean, expresses the ideas of the dean more accurately than those of the Russian dic tator, that while there was no conscious effort to mis represent under the conditions existing, a strictly ex act realistic picture of Stalin s views today regarding religion, the church and Russian relations with Britain was not obtained. There has undoubtedly been a change for the better along these lines in Russia, but probably nothing as idealistic and poetic as the dean s report would indi cate. Too Much Of A Good Thing Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security administrator and director of War Manpower on arrival in Manila today declared his intention is to survey the economy of the Philippines and not concern himself with politics. That is undoubtelv true. But it is also true, that the economy of the islands from this time henceforth will determine the politics. THERE are already two distinct schools of political thought among the native leaders of the Philippines. One group, and undoubtedly the larger one, favors immediate and complete independence, cutting themselves off entirely from the United States' this year. The other group doubts the wisdom of such action and believes that a few years of such absolute inde pendence will show the people and the economy of the islands are in no condition to successfully make their way in this turbulent world alone. The latter croup favors not absolute independence but'a modified form of dominion status, that is com plete self government, but a favored nation relation ship as far as the United States is concerned, parti- t-ui.iiiv in me economic reaim. . .

HALTS EXPANSION Washington, July 20 (U.R) The War Production board's rub ber bureau today cancelled 12 plant expansion projects in its program for large truck tires and announced partial cutback or complete elimination of 23 ad ditional expansions in the pro gram for smaller truck tires. Five projects for tires to which. tank treads are attached also were cancelled. The 12 large truck tire plants would have cost $86,000,000 if they had been completed. The reductions announced today, plus cancellation of 21 truck- tire tube plant expansions an nounced last week bring total cancellations by the bureau of $ilu,uuo,ooo. Washington, July 20 (U.R) The senate last night approved a bill designed to permit subsidy payments to lamb growers by the Commodity Credit corpora tion. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., now goes to the house. The bill provides that CCC can pay the subsidies under a pro gram to be approved by the sec retary of agriculture. OMahoney pointed out that CCC has the authority to pay di rect suDsidies to producers but lacked the funds. He said RFC had the funds bt not the auth ority. His bill permitted trans- ler of the necessary funds from tlt C to CCC. Newly weds JIT, ' 4 1,-5 ...- TeUphotol tAcm Universal starlet Ponl Adams and Lt Tom Turnage.

COMMUNICATIONS Letter to the Kdllur muif oeai the name tnd addrett il the writer although the use nl a pen-name ol Initial fur publication l permis ithla I'he Mall Tribune reiervei the runt to edit all letter! with a view to elarlty and condemaUoo 'Thrill of a Lifetime" To the editor: I wonder how many natives of this vicinity have passed up the thrill of a lifetime? How many have watched the huge lumber trucks that thunder down these high ways with nothing more than a brief exclamation of wonder or of annoyance at being caught be hind one and having to follow it around a curve or two? It was this writer's good for tune while visiting in .Medford to have been Introduced to one of the valley's expert logging truck operators. An invitation to make a round trip to the log ging camp between Prospect and Crater Lake was promptly ac cepted and turned out to be an experience full of thrills and surprises. First there was the drive up the beautiful Crater Lake high way which really should be seen from the cab of a logging truck to be fully appreciated! From such a vantage point the writer enjoyed and admired every mile of scenery as the highway fol lows along the course of the tur bulent Rogue River, curving, twisting, across' meadows, be tween cliffs, through the forests and finally skirting the edge of a gorge hundreds of feet deep where the river far below looks like a silver thread winding through its green borders. Turning off the highway onto a trail road cut through a mag nificent stand bf virgin timber, the writer was impressed by the size of the trees towering 100 feet and more in height and measuring 9 to 8 feet around. But the greatest amazement and admiration of all was in spired by the case with which the loggers handle their opera tions and drive their huge loads back to the mills In Medford in just a few hours. Watching them is like seeing real "supermen" in action. Riding with them is to be convinced that these men of the woods are men of stca without nerves! For a real thrill try a ride with a logger watch him swing 28, 000 pound of rough logs down a curving mountain road as sim ply as a mother wheels a baby carriage across a street! G. H.
