Th idea Is to lessen congestion and make it aim pier to drive in tin downtown area. But tha city expect confusion at firat and will have nearly a third of the entire police (ore at work directing err ing motorists into the proper chan nels; In fenera, the area covered is from Burnside street south to Clay street (one block south of the new Oregonian building) and from the river west to 14th. There are ex ceptions, notably Harbor drive and Front street, broad thoroughfares closest to the river. Some streets north of Burnside also will become one-way but there will be numerous exceptions, e s pecially while the new steel bridge approaches are being complex l About the only easily remember ed rule is that traffic will move south only on odd-numbered aven ues and north on even-numbered. (Broadway takes the place of 7th and it traffic is south-bound.) . There Is no rule of memory for the east-west streets unless one wants to get through the principal part of the business district by re calling that "says" (Stark. Alder, Yamhill, Salmon) heads toward the river. ' For the rest, It's up to itreet signs and traffic cops. Leopard Still Balks Starch In Oklahoma .

The case came to trial after a weekend of frantic but futile ef fort, m tut a settlement of the coal contract dispute that might have let the government drop the chargea. Federal negotiators forced a Sun day session. They kept it running into the esriy noura oi mis morn ing. But the union and the oper ators could not get together. Miners Standing. Pat In the coal fields, meantime, the 372.000 miners doggedly stuck to their refusal to work without a new rnntrart desolte the court's or ders and the snow-bslling hardship over the country from lsck of coal. At the White House, Presidential Press Secretary Charles Ross told reporters there would be "nothing here on coal" during the day. Some Congress members have been clamoring for the President to seek power to seiie the mines, believing the miners would go bsck to work under government control of the pits. John L. I-ewis, leader of the mine workers' union, waa not in the court room. He waa attending the funeral of a brother at Springfield, The government has not charged Lewis personally with contempt twii twice hss made oublic ap- peals to the miners to go bsck to work. Heavy Penalty Passible Tha nossibilitr of a multi-million dollar fine against the union had prompted the Sunday negotiations. With the coal shortage already crippling much of the nation, some officials in on the talka feared that a heavy court penalty against the union might serve merely to stif fen the miners' resistance beaides throwing a new obstacle in the path of the negotiators. In addition to the 172.000 miners, soma 180.000 workers were idled by the long strike, as coal-using indus tries ran out of fuel. In many aectiona schools closed down. Some cities instituted brown outs to save coal; some put ration ing Into effect. A number of cities and states declared emergencies, aa chilly temperatures gripped large aectiona of the country. Many minera are spending part of each day trying to find fuel for their family atovea and furnaces. They pick up bit of the fuel from outcroppings on hillsides where cost is near the surface. The diggers, who show no sign of going bsck to the pits without a con tract, are having a hard time to feed and clothe their families. The situation is so bad in the Favette county (Pa.) area that re lief workers can't keep up with demands. 1 Pennsylvania officials report one out of every six people in the coun ty sre receiving state assistance. uniontown Is the sest of the county which hss 220,000 residents. The Loyal order of Moose lodge hss directed a IS.OOO cash gift to miners in Pennsylvania. And the lodge has instructed Its local units to supply all the food and clothing it can directly to the minera. Communist Bid Spurned Communist donated two truck Inada of food to minera in western Maryland but UMW officials urged the diggers to spurn the help. Olficera of two locals posted this notice: "Bewsra of Communist party trucks . . . trying to unload their cargo of food and clothing to the miner of thia region.

Industrial Use Of Atom Energy Held Feasible MADISON, Wis. -.- Stock piles of atomic bombs, built for destruction, can be used for in dustri " purposes, a leading atomic scientist said here. Dr. Farrington Daniels, of the U-'versity of Wisconsin, who help ed develop the bomb, discussed its p a stime uses at .- e d 1 1 o r 1 a I roundtable on atomic energy at f . university. About 40 men and women, in cluding some of the nation'a top atomic experts, news, if-'r and ra dio men attended the conference. Or.

He said that the natio was miss in? a bet by not developing atomic energy for inJustrial use before some other nation doea it. Graham B. Hovey, of the Uni versity school of journalism, aaid t conference waa called in hopes o' getting scientists and newamen to understand mutual problems. He said there is a cold war be tween the two now because of lack of hrstanding, some irrespon sible reporting on scientific mat ters and lack of cooperation on part of the scientists. S ner T.

Both major political parties are committed to FEPC legislation, cornerstone of the civil rights pro gram. Almoat everyone except the southern Democrats wanted something done about it before thia year'a congressional elections. Administration Democrats op posed the bill paaaed by the House. They wanted something stronger than this measure creating a com mission to try to curb racial dis crimination in employment through persuasion and education. They wanted a commission with legal power to enforce ita orders. ''Batter Than Nothing" Unable to get that, because of opposition from southern Demo crats and Republicana, moat of them voted for the weaker mea sure, r "It ia better than nothing," said Democratic leader McCormack of Massachusetts. "It does not meet our campaign promiaea nor doea it meet the Republican platform promises. But the choice waa that or nothing." Republican leader Martin of Mas sachusetts said the bill passed by the Houses complies with the GOP platform. The way Martin and other re publicana figure it, the fact that the House passed any kind of FEPC bill must be attributed to GOP votea. Southern Democrats are on less of a political spot than anyone else. They have never made any bones about opposing FEPC in any form. They jointed with Republicana to tone down the tougher administra tion bill, and then voted against the modified measure. Administration leadera believe the FEPC bill will remain a major issue in this year'a elections, al though it may be confined to big citiea having minority groups with heavy voting strength. Jury Finds Labor Leader Perjurer WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.
