Stanton Roseburg's traffic pattern is receiving: minute scrut iny. State Highway Department engineers, cooperating with the county and city governments, are engaged in a three-part study of traffic movement designed (1) to de termine the effectiveness of the existing grid pattern, (2) determine the need, if any, for additional river crossing facilities, (3) integrate city streets and county roads into the pattern on the new highway location in West Rose- fcurg. Extensive studies already have been made into the flow of traffic over city streets and county roads leading into town. Further counts are to be made to learn the volume and direction of traffic in and around the city limits. An Interesting survey is to be made Tuesday- as a part . of the second objective, that of river crossing facilities. , All traffic moving across the Oak Street bridge and over the bridge on the Veterans Hospital reservation will be halted momentarily and each driver will be given a questionnaire. He will be asked to fill out. a self-addressed card, which needs no postage, telling where his trip start ed, his destination, and the purpose of the trip. Street addresses of residences or offices, names of places of business, industrial plants, etc., should be used. Mailing Every Card Requested Some persons, who may use one or more of the bridges several times during the day, will receive a card for each direction of each trip. It is extremely important, high way department engineers report, that each of these cards be filled out and mailed. As the survey is t6 determine the pattern of the traffic flow across bridges, multiple trips must be measured as completely as single trips. Is the Oak Street bridge in the best possible location? Will enough traffic be diverted from the Oak Street bridge by construction of the new highway to relieve congestion oil that structure? Will relocation of the highway add to us of the Oak Street bridee? If additional facilities are found necessary, would it be better to replace the Oak Street bridge with a four-lane structure or build two one-way bridges? And, if one-way bridges are found more desira ble, where should they be placed to best serve trail ic con venience? These are some of the questions lor wnicn an swers will be sought in Tuesday's survey. With cooperation from all motorists, engineers believe they can come up with the right answers. The city will be divided into zones. The questionnaires will bear code numbers corresponding to these zones. Let's say, by way of example that a person residing in Laurelwood, which might be zone 1, drives to his place of business on Jackson Street, which could be Zone 2. - His card would; Ik placed in a machine wjiich would sort out all cards according to their zone combinations and his would reemerge in company with all other Zone 1-2 cards. By tabulating the many combinations, engineers will be able to draw a comparatively accurate pattern of all traf fic using the river crossings. Motorists Convienc Sought After learning how many cars use the bridges, their points of origin, destinations and whether the trips are of economic character, engineers will be able to recommend river crossing facilities most convenient to motorists and best serving the community's economy. Other phases of the study are equally important. Pro gress already has been made in evaluating the city's down town grid pattern; .. Is the pattern effective as it now stands? Could it be reversed to advantage? Should it be discontinued en tirely? The engineers also expect to have answers to those questions. The third phase of the study, that of integrating traf fic over city streets and county roads with the relocated highway, is closely tied to the other objectives. Engineers point out that when they have completely accounted for the volume of traffic, the direction of flow, points of origin and destination, and other such factors, they will have a very good Idea of just what effect highway relocation will have on the traffic in and around town. While Tuesday's survey may cause slight inconvenience to motorists, engineers feel that everyone will be glad to cooperate if they fully understand the purpose behind the check. They tirge that every card be filled nut. as indicated, nnd that It be mailed as quickly as convenient. They par ticularly emphasize the importance of filling out and mail ing every card received, no matter how manv the driver may collect in repeated crossings of the two bridges. Wine hell Says He Burned FBI Letter To Army NEW VORK lit) Columnist Walter Winchell said Thursday lie bad burned a copy of the secret "FBI letter ' ziven to him und'-r mysterious circumstances at the time it set oCf an uproar in the wcuanny-Ar.ny hearings. Winchell, who termed 'It "very dull reading," said he destroyed the copy after consulting various government officials, and after the attorney general ruled it contained security data. i However, he said he had been informed that about 35 copies of f-eter chon- ia goiog to have to occur to ui aooner or later: We are approaching the point where we will have to consider '.tie fatal consequences that couid en aue to us from spreading ourselves too thin all over the world. In New York the other day Governor Dewey, who owns a big dairy farm, took note of the fact that in this country there is a shortage of coffee and a surplus of milk. So be got up on his feet and publicly urged people to "switch to milk" as being iiealth icr, cheaper and more plentiful." That got Brazil in his hair. The Brazilian ambassador in Washing ton promptly lei go a broadside lo the effect that an American switch from coffee to milk would damage the economy of his coun try and would be a BLOW TO HEMISPHERE SOLIDARITY. That ia to say (by intimation): If the Americana start drinking their own milk and cut down on their drinking of Brazil's coffee the Brazilians will get huffy and flirt with the communists. It's a weird world, isn't it? While we're discussing foreign ers and their ways, there's the case of the Vietnamese poet who vowed in Geneva the other day that he'd never eat again until nis country got some real help from somebody in the way of protec tion of its liberties and its inde pendence. He stuck it out for 18 days and theh caved in and called for a waiter and a menu. Your situation at Geneva, sir, is basically the same as ours. You talked bolder than you were prepared to act. We're eating also at Geneva. We're eating crow. I' '.!' i "Heck, we help out with loans to so many new ; t fathers we're beninnina to feel like av' s father ourself!" I guess a lot of the satisfaction in this business! comes from the wonderful feeling we get by helping folks financially to elcome their newcomers. , . COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL FINANCE CORP.

Why did communism appeal !o (hern? Wnat did they think of the Hussians? Of America? Of Wash ington, he atom bomb, Wall Street, their own government, their own future? An attempt to answer these questions has recently been made on a group ot 60 Malayans anyone good at propaganda would be good at other things too. They all believed rumors more than they believed what they read in the newspapers or other primed publications. These people believed that pol itics was always subject to change, and that it waa imDorLant tn he on the winning side. They sensed the power of the Communist Party. They felt that it was ex panding.

He said the "letter" was written by FBI Director J Edgar Hoover. The Armv. after searchln? its files, replied later that the "let ter" was a "perfect phony." It turned out, according to sub sequent testimony, that it was not a Hoover letter but a cut-down version of a 15-paee. 1951 FBI memo on the question of espion age at Ft. Monmouth, N. J.

HE WAS WELL FITTED there fore, lo interview 60 Chinese in Malaya who had quit commu nism when they found it did not measure up to its promises. All are now active anti-Communists. They had no hesitr.ncy in talking to Dr. 1'ye, recounting their experiences in minutest da tail and giving their reac'ions to world political and economic forces affecting their lives. Nearly all of the 60 believed that Russia won World War II. They had heard of Stalingrad and the Russian defense of Moscow. Thev knew the Russians got to Berlin first. They had heard that the United Slates had perfected the atomic bomb first, and had dropped it on Japan. They thought that very 1,-iever oi uie Americans lo lei all the others get killed in actual combat while the Americans them selves were perfecting the atomic bomh. The Chinese-Malayans believed afterwards that Hie American atomic bombs were no good. Oth erwise, why hadn't they been used in Korea? Russian atomic bombs of today were thought to be better than American bombs. THE CHINESE BELIEVED that Oieir countrymen had won the war in Korea. Normally having an inferiority complex with regard to America and things American, here was one thing tint made them proud of China. It gave them j a feeling of superiority, even ! through the victory had been won by Communist China , up or down from time to time, but uiey am not Know wny. They had a vague notion this was due to tit manipulations of Wall Street. This they imagined to be a street of bungalows set in broad lawns where the rich lived. Prices were set low to squeeze the work ers, then raised again before the workers revolted. They had heard of Washington as the capital of America. But when asked what they knew about Washington, some of them volun teered the information that there was one street in Washington on which only poor people lived. They did not believe that any one in Russia is poor. enough to enjoy a swim and a sunburn. After all, you can always sec lions and tigers at the ncarc.t zoo.

Strong, Says Eisenhower WASHINGTON I President Eisenhower said Thursday the "wisdom and forward-looking ca pacity" of businessmen will keap American economically strong and progressive. The President expressed that view in an informal talk at a meeting of members of the Com mittee for Economic Development, a private research and business analysis organization. Eisenhower paid tribute to busi nessmen for their rolp in develop ment of the United States. Eisenhower said America Is "going forward in an exDsndino and growing economy that wi.l provide hapoiness and peace In the world, ' and added that busi nessmen plav a major part in making decisions which affect the country's future. Administration Eager To Assist, Says Ike's Aide WASHINGTON I A proposal to turn the hot controversy of flexible vs. rigid farm price sup ports to the Senate was advanced Thursday by chairman Aiken (S Vt) of the Senate Agriculture Com mittee. Instead of continuing indefinitely a closed-door committee battle over this key issue. Aiken said in an interview, he will seek "general agreement on the best farm legis lation we can formulate." Aiken advocates the proposal far flexible government price supports urged by President Eisenhower and Secretary of Agriculture Ben son. But a majority of the committee he heads is believed to favor con tinuation of fixed price supports on major field crops at 90 per cent iif parity. Parity is a level said bv law to give a farm product a fair purchasing value in terms of prices a farmer must pay. "After all, the important decision on flexible vs. rigid supports wi.l he reached on the Senate floor, not in the committee." Aiken said. 'The committee should consider other important farm issues." The House Agriculture Commit tee also is holding closed-door ses sions on farm legislation with a majority reported to favor exten-I-ing present rigid supports. BIRTHS NEW YORK W Do you have a simple, fool-proof retirement plan? If not, I think I have one that may interest you. Wait: Don't run away. This won't coat you anything. Here is what is wrong with most retirement plans : 1. A mm retires and discovers his pension is really only peanut money. He then has the problem of convincing his wife that peanuts not only taste good but are even more nutritious than steak. 2. Or i man skimps all hii life. figuring he will save enough mon to that he can retire and do all the fine careless things he dreamed of doing when vounj Then he makes the sad discovery that the dreams of youth lose their glamor and become nightmares n old age. A man Hearing 60 put his situa tion to me this way the olher day: "Retirement looks wonderful to t man in his 30's or 40'i, but as you actually got nearer to it you begin to tee it as a pitfall.

But every sound retirement pro dram requires that you postpone something. My plan is very sound on this point. But instead of post poning your pleasures, you g o ahead and do as much of what you want to do as you ran and you postpone doing until retire ment all the unpleasant things you leel you ought to do, or the thing.; a well-meaning wiie tells you that you ought to do. I know I ourht to get some oth er hobby besides cigar smoking. I realize I ought to learn to drive an automobile and. to please my wife, learn some dance steps new er than "The Turkey Trot." I realize alo 1 will never leave an imperishable name in literature until I finish Ihe book I'm work ing on (so far I've only golVn as far as the title, which is. "The Industrial Uses of the Monarch Butterfly ;n War and Peace"). But these things seem to me to be ideal tclireioent goals.
