To Meet Shortage
Of SP Freight Cars
Meeting in Portland Friday to
consider progress in their program
seeking a solution to the perennial
box car shortage on Southern Pa
cific lines in Oregon, directors of
the shippers car supply committee
Eassed a resolution endorsing steps
eing taken by Public Utilities
Commissioner George Flagg to cor
rect the situation which has annoy
ed western Oregon for 30 years or
more.
Commissioner Flagg was espe
cially commended for putting men
into the field to check car orders
and records in offices of both ship
ners and carriers. Members of the
committee, including shippers of
lumber, plywood, mouldings, icea,
seed and other commodities
throughout western Oregon are be
ing requested to cooperate fully
with the P.U.C. men in the survey
to determine the balance between
need for box cars and ability of
the railroad to supply them. All
shippers on Southern Pacific lines
in Oregon are urged to participate
in the study if called on since the
information sought is considered
best course of action to insure bet
ter car service.
Reports from different areas In
the state presented at this meeting
indicate that forest products indus
tries are already faced with criti
cal shortages. One lumberman
E resent stated that his won firm
ad received only 52 percent o' ;ts
car requirements during the . ir
rent month. Seed men present

ments for shipping seed to south
ern and eastern states for fall
planting.

Sensational HURRICANE Engine Gives
Surging Performance, Record Mileage
Rural Roadway Accident
Deaths Higher Than City
Accidents on rural roadways
claimed 77 percent of the lives lost
in Oregon traffic last year but ac
counted for only 28 percent of all
accidents reported throughout the
state. Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry said friday.
Newbrv said rural traffic acci
dents in 1949 were three times
more lethal than those taking place
inside cities and towns, according
to statewide records. The speed at
which most open-highway mishaps
take place is blamed for the top
heavy death percentage.
The secretary reminded that a
driving error or mistake in judg
ment that results in a crumpled
fender in city traffic frequently
proves fatal at highway speed.
"The record makes it clear that
long, inviting stretches of open
highway call for the same alert
ness most drivers display in con
gested areas," Newbry said.
He pointed out that the impact
with which a car may strike a fixed
object or another vehicle increases
four times when speed is doubled.
Sunday Traffic Deaths
Leads For Days Of Week
Sunday topped all other days of
the week in traffic deadliness in
Oregon last year with 67 fatal acci
dents, the state traffic safety divi
sion has reported.
Saturday ran a close second with
60 fatal smash-ups, resulting in a
combined weekend traffic toll of
127 throughout 1949, the division
said. Least fatal accidents were
recorded on Tuesday, with a total
of 25, and Thursday, with 28.
Heavier rural highway traffic
volume due to weekend driving is
the main underlying factor, offi
cials said, which increases the
chances of mishaps at high speed.
Worst killers in 1949 were accidents
in which a car ran off the road-
or struck a fixed object, most of
them due to loss of control at
excessive speed. '
