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.

County Budget
Finally Finished;
Total $4,767,918
The 1955-58 Douglas County
budget has been completed, ac
cording to Judge Carl C. Hill. The
budget as approved by the county
court totals $4,767,018.
This Is an increase .of $39,689.81
over the earlier estimate of $4,
72S.28. The balance to be raised
by taxation in the completed budq
ot totals $509,183.40. This falls
within the 6 per cent limitation.
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. Ma
jor discussion centered around a
request from county school super
intendent Kenneth F. Barneburg
that a field deputy be hired in
the county school superintendent's
office. 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.

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.

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.
The Presdent was represented
as giving high priority in confer
ences with GOP leaders to school
construction, minimum wage, polio
vaccine and Upper Colorado de
velopment measures. But he ap
parently was not insisting on their
consideration if that would delay
adjournment unduly.
Eisenhower was said to have
indicated he would be willing to
accept a compromise highway bill
which was self-financing. He pro
posed originally that a separate
agency be set up to issue bonds,
not chargeable to the federal debt,
to finance the federal contribution
to a 10-year interstate road build

Plan For Ordering Cars
(Continued from Page One)
proposal of using northern lines.
"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.

Transit Strike
Compounded By
Adopted Policy
WASHINGTON tfl Direotors
of the Capital Transit Co. said
Thursday a "decision to stand firm
under present conditions" appears
to be their only alternative in a
Washington bus and street car
strike now almost a week old.
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.
Freighter Sails

eign freighter, whose arrival with

pany said, would not force it to.

About 100 persons watched the
ship depart. The same dock 24
hours earlier was filled with a
milling crowd estimated to include
1,000 persons at times. The mob
beat up a nonstriking Kohler work
er, broke windows in the home
of another nonstriker and tipped
over his car, threw rocks at an
auto carrying a company official
and damaged unloading equipment
bound for the dock.
