CIVIC INVESTMENT Charles V. Stanton The Koseburff Indian Club is to be congratulated on the success of its drive for funds to be used in the im provement of lunlay field. Construction is to start immediately on a grandstand. Additional lighting is to be provided. It is expected the improvements will be completed in time for the start of football season. But contributions still are needed. Although enough money is on hand to start work, the club does not have enough to assure completion of the job. One unit can be built from funds received to date. Other units will be add ed as money becomes available. Attorney Robert Davis, president of the new organiza tion, reports exceptional cooperation from lumber com panies of the community. Neat ly all materials required for the stand have been donated. Money will be needed, however, for labor and some materials not available through donation. Davis points out that the club is not organized primari ly for improvement to the physical athletic plant, lis cnier purpose, he says, is for "the encouragement of all phases of athletics, thereby improving the moral tone of the com munity." Student Given Help The high school athletic department, says Davis, has done a fine job in "straightening out" some students who appeared to be headed in the wrong direction. Strict rules of conduct have been imposed. Violations meet immedi ate penalties, even though the team or activity may be seriously impaired. "It has become an honor to be a member of the foot ball or track team," says Davis, "and the athletes who participate have reason to be proud. When young people have something in which they take pride, they will be care ful not to bring disgrace upon it through improper con duct." Davis points out that if a strong athletic program is to be maintained for the purpose of giving more young peo ple an opportunity to participate, it is essential to have grounds and equipment suitable for all athletic needs. That is the reason a start is being made on improved foot ball and baseball fields and track facilities. The 'long range program, the president reports, goes much farther in its concept than building grandstands. It is designed to build character through sportsmanship, and thus improve the whole level of the community in years to come. Athletes were very discouraged when voters of the dis trict forced a reduction in the school budget, thus elimin ating money proposed for needed improvements to the athletic field. Some reportedly took the attitude that if voters didn't have enough interest in an athletic program to provide necessary facilities, there was little reason why any effort should be made to produce winning teams. .New Inspiration Given The Indian Club, however, has given a new inspiration. It already has obtained considerably more money than was cut from the budget and is making improvements even more extensive than called for In the budget. "We're not particuarly interested in winning teams, or even in better teams," Davis asserts, "but we are interest ed in giving our young people better opportunities, better cooperation, and better service. We hope that they, in re turn, will have more prid in the community and greater desire to demonstrate their pride through their conduct." Everyone I am sure will endorse the purposes of the organization. Hut more than mere commendation is need ed. The club needs hard cash to carry on its activities. Kvery person desiring to help can do so through con tributions. Many small contributions will amount in total to a lew large ones. Certainly there are few places where dollars can be invested to better advantage. In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) Congress Chat By HARRIS ELLSWORTH, M. C, 4th Oregon District It was brought up by a question from a reporter. The question was this: "What docs the President plan to do if anything about Secre-i bill aonrouriatine monev for nuh of the Air Force Talbott?" i lie works construction Droiect! The statement made by rresmenl wnen ne signed NEW YOKK - ROKKHUHG Here lately we have read in almost every edition of the News-Review letters con demning the Southern Pacific and Us service pertaining to the pas senccr trains Nos. 329-330. run ning daily between Portland and Ashland. First. I wish to advice the mib lie I am a retired conductor, with almost thirty years service with the Southern Pacific. Much of this time was spent on these trains and during this time 1 cannot recall Editor Stanton ever being a pas senger. Neither do t recall others ,who are condemning the train ex cept Mrs. Beth Winter, wife of Conductor Winier. As for her re marks of the train being filthy, will only say this train is thorough ly cleaned before leaving Its ter minal and I challenge anvone to shower me a cleaner bedi'oom than on the Pullman, or a cleaner din ing room than on this train. To he William Jlitchull. who is 4.!, flew ten!?1"'0' is hi"'' f,;r train crews to . i kfifii rna rnnch fl.'in whim a fil. Jai (Jotjie tary 1 his was the answer: The President has not yet made a decision and will not make a decision until the current senata investigation is over. President Eisenhower then went on to point out that there has been no suggestion that Talbott has been guilty of fraud or wrongdoing in a legal sense. The air force secre tary, he added, has performed his official duties' almost briniantly. But, he went on to say, the ac tions of a public official must be impeccable from the standpoint of both law and ethics and should avoid giving any IMPRESSION of wrnndoing. And, he said, the sen ate's inquiry into Talbott's private business activities while in gov ernment services raises the ques tion whether a proper standard of ethics has been violated. He said it must he decided whether Tal bott used his office improperly or merely used his personal influ ence in a manner divorced from his office. The President added, in conclu sion, that so far as he is. con cerned the matter is temporarily abeyance. lie said he would make a thorough study of the mat ter and then make a decision. Let's, look at it flatly. Under the law, before a man can serve the government of the United Stales he must divest him selfas did Secretary of Defense Wilson of all his holdings in bus iness concerns that may do busi ness with the government. Perhaps that is good. Possibly it is the way it should be done. Perhaps we can't trust ABLE men to serve their government honest ly. It is possible that in govern ment we must depend on the serv ices of men of lesser caliber. But I'm happy to sav In OKKtiON we have found that we don't have to do it that way. The membership of our state highway commission, over the nearly lour decades in which we have had a highway commission, is an example. From the very beginning, our highway commissioners have been chosen from among the ablest and best men to he found in Oregon. In very large number of cases. they have been among the biggest and most successful business men in our state. During the period of their service they have handled what for Oregon have been I.M- nioved lie works construction projects nas brought a Hood of inquiry as to how our projects in Oregon may be affected. President Eisen hower signed the bill "reluctantly" and said that with respect to proj ects on which planning is not com pleted and final cost estimates are not available, funds for construc tion will not be released. It is my belief after a scries of informal conversations with peo ple in the execulive.branch of the government that our small approp riations for flood control and navi gation projects in Oregon will not be disturbed. In fact, two smaller projects, not previously mentioned as being in cluded in the appropriations bill, will be constructed this year by the Army Engineers. The 12-foot channel into Winchester Bay cost ing $103,000 and the $147,000 proj ect on Smith River will be laken care of under the appropriations made lor projects costing less than $150,000, which may be expended at the discretion of the engineers. The idea that this session of Congress will adjourn July 30th seems to have been abandoned. Big and controversial bills sched uled for House action included the some Oregon Shippers Get All Needed Cars, SP Reports SALEM I The Southern Pa cific railroad was able to supply virtually all the cars ordered last week by Oregon lumber shippers, Public Utilities Comm. Charles 11. Hcltzel said Thursday. The railroad supplied 98 per cent of the cars ordered, compared with 104 per cent in the preceding week. This doesn't mean, however, that the shortage is over. Heltzel pre dicts it will get worse in August and September, when heavy grain shipments begin. The shortage was severe in June, and lumber shippers now are or dering 1,000 fewer cars a week than they did then. Following are the figures by divi sions on the Southern Pacific sys- tern in Oregon for last week: 1. .Main line between Portland and Eugene 378 cars ordered, 367 supplied, 97 per cent. 2. Siskiyou line from Eugene to Ashland via Roseburg, Grants Pass and Medford 2,015 ordered, 2,001 supplied, 99 per cent. 3. Line between Eugene and Coos Bay 636 ordered, 586 sup plied, 92 per cent. 4. Westsidc line via Newberg, McMinnville and Willamina 169 ordered, 165 supplied, 98 per cent. 5. Westside line via Hillsboro and Forest Grove 44 ordered, 49 supplied, 111 per cent. 6. Tillamook line 165 ordered, 164 supplied. 99 per cent. I 7. Toledo Branch via Corvallis Vibration Indicators Ordered . On Airlines WASHINGTON I The Civil Aeonautics Administration has ordered airlines to install vibration indicators in ill their Boeing Strat ocruisers. The CAA also, has urged that all Stratocruiser operators replace the hollow-steel propellers of the big Boeing airliners with solid alum inum blades, with the vibation indicators as an interim measure. CAA took the action several days ago as the result of "a whole scr ies of incidents involving Strato cruisers," a spokesman for the agency said Thursday. The spokesman said the hollow steel propellers have a tendency to break and set up such a terrific imbalance as to tear the engine out of its mount. He said the vibration indicators which have already been installed in most of the Stratocruisers, de tect and identify an engine vibra tion quickly enough to enable the pilot or flight engineer to take ac tion to avert engine destruction Housing bill, the Upper Colorado ! a"dHMo1nnr,oe 342 rdercl' 345 SUP" reclamation authorization and pos-! pl'cd;,. ?' perK ccnt'. .
