Modernizing Of Highways
Requires $750 Million
(Continued from page One)
interim committee traveled through
out the atate gathering the infor
mation needed to draw up a con
structive long range program of
highway improvement to recom
mend to the legislature.
Moore went on to explain that
the present interim committee was
a natural outgrowth of the 1947
committee. Its purpose, he said, is
not to gather information but rather
sell the public on the program that
it has recommended to the state
legislature.
In closing the meeting, Chairman
Moore stated that Douglaa county
had one of the best highway pro
grams in the state of Oregon. Such
a program, Moore commented, is
needed in every county in the state
if highway modernization is to be
carried out successfully.

pretty well established that "man's

to one of his own kind.
The story is that of FriUy, the
half-doxie, and Archie, I two-year-old
boxer. Archie owes FriUy nil
life and if ever a dog said "thanks.
pal" that's what Archie told Frit-
zy at a flog hospital here.
Five-year-old Bobby Unkel. the
boxer's master, let Archie out of
the house Monday, April 3. Archie
didn't come home that night. Nor
the next.
Bobby and his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred A. Unkei, hunted Archie
six days and seven nights.
But on Easter morning, Richard
Miller, a neighboring farmer,
came to the Unkel borne carrying
Archie. The boxer was mangled
and nearly dead. Miller had found
Archie hopelessly impaled oa a
barbed-wire fence.
Miller said he had noticed Frit
zy, his half-doxie, carry her food
away each time she was fed. Fi
nally, out of curiousity, he fol
lowed her. He found out why. She
toted her grub straight to the pris
oner in the fence.
There were enough food scrsps
scattered around, Miller said, to
indicste the mercy mission he had
witnessed was not FriUy's first.
And, spectators reported, Fril
ly's first visit to Archie in the
hospital was a strange and won
derful sight. Archie all but hugged
her.

40 Jap Generals
Freed By Russians
TOKYO, April 17 (JP -Forty
Japanese generals returned home
today from Siberia, "happy to be
back in Japan before war starts
between the United States and the
USSR."
Maj. Gen. Iketani, former chief
of staff of the Kwangtung third
army, aaid most felt "it is only
a matter of time" before the shoot
ing wsr starts.
Government controlled newspa
pers in Siberia and Russia depict
Soviet Russia as a lover of peace,
he said. They blame the United
States for increased world ten
sion. The genersls were among 1,600
repatriates landed at Maizuru.
Iketani said he spent most of
his captivity at Khabarovsk, east
of Manchuria in Siberia. There are
37 other generals at the camp, he
said, and another 37 at Nahodka
awaiting repatriation. Twenty-one
died at Khabarovsk. Iketani said.
Ten are serving prison terms.
Today s arrival raised to more
then 6,000 the number of Japanese
prisoners repatriated since Russia
announced last fall that she didn't
have any more. American and Jap
anese authorities charged later the
Ru-sians still had not accounted
for more than 370,000. ,
After these charges the Russians
said nothing, just began sending
back an occasional shipload. To
day's waa the third. Even as it
docked another sailed for the Si
berian port of Nahodka to pick up
some more.
