2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, U. S. Planes Will Fly To Antarctica From New Zealand NEW YORK W The New York Times said Thursday the United States plans to fly Navy planes from New Zealand to Ant arctica mis ueuciliuei lu muiima ahead of schedule in a history making flight to link the south polar continent with other land areas. The Times dispatch from Paris where the United States and other nations were reported conferring on plans for south polar expedi tions marking the International geophysical year, said the Navy would dispatch a flight of six or eight planes to McMurdo Sound. Tho White House had announced previously that the flight part of a Little America naval expedition to be headed by Rear Adm. Rich ard E. Bvrd would not take off until October, 1956. That first an nouncement said the Navy would launch the three-vear expedition Nov. 1. when five ships will sail under Byrd. Tliore was no explanation for the advancement of the flight date. The Times dispatch said two Ice breakers would sail on Oct. 30 from the Atlantic Fleet, followed at weekly intervals by a fleet tanker and three cargo ships. Tho icebreakers will determine if ski cnuioped planes can land along Mc Murdo Sound and then all six 6nins will line tin at 250-mile Intervals along the flight route to serve as a navigation and rescue line, the rewirt explained. The first planes to be flown In will be medium oatrol craft equip ped with skis. If those planes find that wheel landings are oossiblc. larger transnorts will be sent down, to airlift sunplies and equip ment for the various observation stations to be set up.

I asked the membership to tell me what they wanted. At no time did I promise the employees in our last meeting that 1 would take that offer back to the mem bership within that week. He went on to explain that the union's national representative had been Injured In traffic ac cident. He had to return to Eu gene and to Bervice commitments made previously at Coos Bay.

Judge Hill raid there were minor Incrnascs and decreases and shifts between department budg ets. Most of the Items In the budget brought forth little comment.

A sum of $4,800 for salary had been lequestcd along with $1, 000 fur travel expenses. The court considered the re quests, Judge Hill said, but did not place them in the final budg et. He said the court did not feel a field deputy was necessary for the county. Barneburg's request originally was approved by the budget board. The Douglas County Taxpayers' League had requested also that the sum be returned to the budget. Conns Return Home From Trip To Salt Lake City By NETTIE WOODRUFF Mr. and Mrs. James E.

OR 3-5445 Blood Replacement Method Explained By Mrs. Brittell .Mrs. Walter Brittell of Rose burg, Douglas County Red Cross blood recruitment chairman, felt prompted today to expalin the methods in which residents of the county could assist Adrian Fisher to replace blood he has received at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eu gene. She says she has received 1 host of calls on the subject. She gave the following explan ation and procedure: Hospitals in Lane County do not participate in the Red Cross blood program. Instead blood is supplied to them by the Lane County blood bank, which is pri vately owned and not, part of the Red Cross, This blood bank, she said, charges $25 to $40 per pint for blood or requires that two pints be replaced for each one pint ad ministered. Mrs. Brittell explained that the Red Crow has been able to work out a reciprocal .agreement with the i.ane Loumy Diooa panic in an effort to assist people to re place blood they have received from it. It provides that one of those pints may be replaced through the Red Cross bloodmo bile. The other pint must be re placed directly at the Lane County blood bank. Fisher has received blood as the result of lead poisoning he suffer ed last month. His friends, Mj-s. Brittell said, may assist him in replacing the blood by donating blood at the Elks ballroom when the bloodmobile is here in August. Or thev may do so at the Lane County blood bank if they happen to be in Eugene. Fisher was reported improved today. Glen'daU Business Man Dies In California Elwood Cox. 47.

Nylons - Sports Tans - Blacks 14.95 GROUP Eisenhower May Compromise On Big Legislation Bu JACK BELL WASHINGTON W-President Ei senhower was reported willing to- aay to compromise on highway and housing legislation in an effort to get bills through Congress in lis closing flays. A highly placed Republican who asKea not to be named said the President has indcated he will set tle for action in this session on five major bills: military reserve, atomic ship, foreign aid and some kind of housing and road-building measures.

"Until the Southern Pacific competition," Buchanan said, "we will have recurring car shortages. We want to be able to order cars from the northern lines. The Soulh ern Pacific can't handle more car.' than they do because they haven't spent any money to improve serv ice In Southern Oregon." , Opposing the proposal on the ground that an emergency doesn't exist now, W. C. Cole, president of the Northwest Shippers Advis ory Board, Portland, said: "We're not in a good position to go to the ICC now. The legality of such an order would be doubtful too. This isn't as simole as it ap pears. We wouldn't be soending any of our own money, but we would be soendinr S. P. prooertv." Earl Bleile, Roseburg lumber executive said "until we get an other railroad, we'll never solve our problem. We either should open the Portland gateway, so we can ship throush Portland, or give the Great Northern common-user rights over S. P. tracks." George Brown, executive secre tary of the Oregon Congress of In. du9trial Organizations, added: "If the S.P. can't supply the cajrs and the northern lines can, the S. P. owes it to the economy of the state to cooperate." Sherwood said he believes that the ICC would quickly reject the proposal if it weren't made during an acute car shortage.

The statement by E. C. Giddings, Capital Transit vice president, said the board had discussed the pos sibility of arbitrating strike issues, and "the decison not to accept it (arbitration) was made with the full realization of its implications." This appeared to throw cold water on any hope the strike, which left an estimated 400,000 riders without public transporta ton except for taxis, might end in the immediate future. A Senate district subcommittee is attempting to get Louis E. Wolf son, chairman of the transit com pany's board of directors, before it in a move by Sen. Morse ID Ore), committee member, to can cel the company's franchise. Wolfson sent I telegram, through the company'i office, saying.J. A. B. Broadwater, transit president, could speak for the company.
