Neu berger a "cheat." This was the result of Neuberger's criticism of Newbry, whom Neuberger claims Is putting his name on State Department license appli cations and other such State do cuments in order to gain politi cally. Governor McKav and Newbry are republicans. Neuberger and Pearson are democrats. The upshot of the whole thing is that Pearson's printing hill probably will be paid by the state, because of Newbry's posi tion that elective state officials can spend money out of their own budgets without having to win approval of the hoard of control. Pearson Sounds Off After Newbry mad this latter statement, Pearson said: "That printing voucher doesn't require approval of the broard. It was unfair for the governor to hit me below the belt when I was out of town. Itt Is the first time that the hone-sty and Inte grity of a public official has been attacked by another board mem ber. "You, Governor McKay, are the only one running for office. I'll pay that printing hill myself If you and Newbry pay for the state seals which they distribute to school children and tourists." Pearson claimed he asked Newhry for a supply of state seals so he could distribute his autograph, too. But he said New hry refused to give him any, so Pearson said he had to have the controversial document printed. Pearson then attacked the go vernor for spending slate mon ey to go to Washington, D. C, to testify at Congressional hear ings against the proposad Colum bia Vallev authority. McKay, Newbry Hit "Sack" The governor answered that this money came from money ap propriated hy the legislature for Ihe governor's travel expense, and that he could spend It any way he wanted to. Answering Neuberger, Newhry said "If Newberger was in my position, he would have his name on Ihe capital dome." Newbry said he has cut down printing expense In his depart ment, and that the state seals he distributes were printed by previous administrations. Then he attacked Neuberger. charging that Neuberger placet! large orders for personal letter heads and postcards, even before he was sworn In as a member of the Legislature. Newhry claimed that Newber ger ordered his stationery print ed In different colored Ink than that used by nlher members, adding to the stale cost. I dislike refreshing the sena tor's memory. What he does Is no concern of mine. But, I Just do not like a cheat," Newhry said. DRIVER EXAMS SET A driver's license examiner will be on dulv In Rnsebure Thursday and Fridsv.

"Construction or Highway 99 will be both expensive and diffi cult, but the work will be done in the next decade," he predicted. "It's our ambition to have a four-lane Pacific highway through the stale, but it will be a long time coming," he pointed out. "The worst spots will be taken care of first. There might be other developments elsewhere." Moore made it plain that he Is nnl speaking for the State High way department, but that depart ment's engineers are closely fol lowing the recommendations of the committee's engineers, as made to Ihe last legislature. Traffio Outstrips Repairs Improvements in ro.ids and highways have not kept pace with modern automobiles, Moore point ed out, and during the war there was "a great backlog" of deferred construction of highways. The legislative Interim com mittee, set up In 1917, Is a coor dinating agency between the Slate Highway department, county road and city street depart ments, and studies their respec tire needs. Road and traffic congestion In the state will probably "grow worse before It gets better," Moore cautioned. "The sooner we overcome our road inadequacy the belter. It is very expensive to en dure bad roads.'' Moore pointed out the net sr.vings that are to he made In wear, tear, and depreciation on automobiles and products carried over the roads, when good high ways are built. "The general pub lic doesn't realize the terrific cost of keeping up with the old roads," he said. Moore told of a Salem orrhard ist who has saved $600 to $7(10 in bruised fruit, since a gravel road from his farm to the city was paved recently.

Ellsworth Scores T Railroad Car Lack (Continued from Page One) 1948 this tonnage had Increased to 2.811.116.913. Annual Economio Upset The Southern Pacific system, which serves Oregon where Ihe freight car shortage since the war I an annual economic dislo cation, particularly severe this I year to lumber ana agricuituiai : products, has had an even more i remarkable growth In business, ; the Oregon congressman stated. ! Freight car loadings increased i 170 percent on the Southern Pa cific system in the ten years from ; 1939 to 1948. he pointed out. Car- loadings in 1939 were 1.565.664 on the Southern Pacific and 2.665, 909 In 1948. Tonnage hauled hy the Southern Pacific In 1939 was 45.873.289 tons compared to 88, 710,747 In 1948. Increase in tonnage carried on the Southern Pacific was even more spectacular, Ellsworth said, up 193 percent in ten years. Much of this was accounted for by the tremendous Industrial growth of the western states, an example being the Increase In Oregon's three southwestern counties of 632 percent In lum ber production from 1939 to 194K On the Southern Pacific, Ells worth said, cars have been fur nished on the basis of from 50 to 75 percent of needs during tin last two months. Open cars are now In full supply, but closed cars I box carsi are short about 50 percent of the region's neei's and some shippers report only 25 percent of their closed car orders are being filled. Threat To Industry Lumber inventories are piling up dangerously, the congressman warned. Southern Oregon lum duction of 20 percent for a three month period, would mean a loss in employment of 4.022,792 man hours. The payroll loss would approx imate $6,689,903, and $30,366,575 In lumber value. The Southern Pacific company has not adequately provided for the ama.ing industrial growth on lis system, Ellsworth stated, and its freight car supply has not been built up to take care of this permanent expansion In our west ern economy. He ciled the growth in lumber alone In Jackson, Josephine and Douglas counties to prove his point. In 1939 these three coun ties produced 249.836.000 board feet of lumber. This output had increased during the following 10 years lo 1.579,690,000 board feet, or 632 jercenu There is cause for alarm, Ells worth believes, when it is appar ent that the supply of freight can throughout the nation is dwindling and orders for new cars are far below mnimum re placement figures. the Pacific coast states have increased nearly 50 percent in population since 1940, yet the principle railroad serving the area has made no steps to keep ill service comparable with th's great growth, Ellsworth said. Ellsworth urged American rail road! to take a realistic view of this nation's vast growth during the last decade and put their house in order so they can keep abreast of America's future.

That's why when experienced buyers come in to look at a Packard we often invite them to take a "road s-eye view."

Special alloys that make the engine almost "wear-proof." Fact: In fast, 25,000-mile endurance rum, Packard cylinder wear is less than the thickness of this page!
