CITY TRAFFIC STUDIED
Charles V. 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

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.

McCarthy said he got it from

said the "letter" was written by

Wisdom Will Keep U. S.
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.
"Take my case. They tell you
to prepare for retirement by 'de
veloping a bobbv. Well. I've tried
conscientiously to build an intercut

things I now have a respect for

This man, it seems lo me, has
made Ihe mistake of many men
Why not retire your dreams
living them tin along the wav?
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
