Stanton . Through traffic is bypassing Roseburjr today as a result of bienin? of the reconstructed Highway 99 section between Winchester and Shady Point. ; Many old-timers doubtless are thinking back to the up roar created by the State Highway Commission when it opened Stephens Street and took the highway off Jackson and Cass streets. Merchants and property owners in t h e business district fought the change to the last ditch. They predicted the roof would fall in on Roseburg's economy. Property on Cass and Jackson, some declared, wouldn't be worth ten cents per front foot. The present griping about changes' in street names and numbers and planning com mission activities is extremely mild compared with the rucku raised when highway traffic was removed from the city's main business district. 1 But think of the mess we would be in now if highway traffic still followed Jackson and Cass streets! Few people are worried about the highway bypass. Nat urally, some persons, engaged in Businesses catering io through traffic, will be adversely affected. But, just as the change to Stephens Street enlarged the city's business dis trict, bringing many benefits to the city as a whole, with lit tle damage to other property, the change being made today is expected to be generally beneficial. Protect Approaches One of the principal advantages in the change will be found in the impression gained of the city of Roseburg by people passing over the new route. I doubt if any city in Oregon will have a more scenic approach than on the new highway between Shady Point and the city. Every through traveler, I am sure, will be thrilled by that sight. And the higher road elevation affords an excellent view into the city's residential and business districts. The approach from the north also is impressive, though less scenic. But while the approach from the south is one of rare beauty, the approach from the north affords a view of the municipal airport, industrial activity, schools, hospi tals, and a fine glimpse of the city in general. In all, no city could ask for a more favorable location for a highway as a means of attracting attention and interest on the part of the through traveler. Every effort should be made to protect the beauty of these approaches, to remove any unsightly spots, and to add to the scenic values. mwmmr.i Very Special Delivery Changes In Prospect Just as re-routing the highway onto Stephens Street brought about many changes, we can expect changes to re sult from the new highway location. Much business activity has developed at the Garden Valley road intersection, for example, in anticipation of the switch in traffic, Similar developments doubtless will occur around (he Harvard Ave nue nnd Shady Point traffic exchanges. New housing proj ects may be expected both north and south of town on the roads bordering the highway. The highway change undoubt edly also will influence residential building toward the west and northwest. Another development will be the necessity tor another bridge replacing the Oak Street Bridge, or a second structure to permit one-way traffic routing east and west. Some localities have been greatly disturbed concerning the possible effect of highway relocation. It is possible, of course, that adverse effects will be experienced in those areas left at considerable distance from Ihe route. Rose burg, however, with its critical traffic congestion, undoubt edly will find the change to be of much benefit. If we can keep the approaches as attractive as they now are, it should not be long until this city is one of the favored tourist stops on the highway. Health Service Releases Batch Of Polio Shots WASHINGTON Wi The Public Health Service Friday announced -(lease of another 2,604.153 cubic ;entimeters, or "shots," of Salk intipoiio vaccine. Of the total 1,968,138 ccs made by Eli Lillv Co., Indianapolis, Ind,, will be divided among states and territories for the voluntary con trol program. This is for children ages five through nine. A total of 636,015 ccs made by Pitman-Moorc Co. Zionsville. Ind.. was divided, with 568,818 going to the National Foundation for Intan tile Paralvsis' free program and the remaining 67,197 ccs to be al located to the states in the near futlire- . . . The new releases raised to 10, 235,991 ccs the amount allocated to the states and territories since July 31, when the voluntary control program was placed in effect.

SEC action on this particular case hasn't been completed so real names can't be given out. So let it be said that a drilling contractor in the Rocky Mountain area was the sole owner of a uranium pros pecting business. He had been grossing $25,000 a year. Rut he wanted, to raise new capital and decided to incorporate. He had a stock offering circular prepared and submitted it to SEC. It proposed sale of three million shares of stock at 10 cents a sharp. This would have raised $300,000, the maximum allowed under SEC Regulation "A" registration ex emptions for small business. In going' over the circular. SEC examiners found that what the in corporator was really turning over to his prospective stockholders were his debts. What his corpora tion would be taking over would he his unpaid bills for drilling equip ment, for which he would be paid cash from the sale of his stock. By A. ROBERT SMITH Ntwa-Revitw Corrtspondtnt WASHINGTON Officials of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion who have to wrestle with the freight car shortage that plagues Oregon are fed up with also having to cope with politicians from both parlies who are now demanding information and curative action. 1'hcy refer specifically to Repub lican Gov. Paul L. Patterson and Democratic Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger, whose aides have been dogging the trail of ICC experts in quest of hopeful data they can make public in Oregon. We need a special staff just to supply both sides with informa tion," said one harrassed official, That's what happens when damn ed politics gets involved and you have to satisfy demands of op posing candidates. This was a pointed reference to the prospect that Sen. Morse may be challenged in next year's elec tion bv Gov. Patterson. Officials cite the numerous conferences they have held with the Washing ton staffs of the senators and with the emergency committee set up by the governor to deal with the car shortage, plus numerous com muniques. It's not that the government of ficials resent being petitioned for the information lltey are respons ible for compiling; but they say it is that they find their workload un necessarily burdened by ignorant and puhlicity - inspired inquiries.

"There's nothing new in it," ICC Commissioner Owen Clarke reportedly declared after studying Ferguson's letter. Clarke, who hails from Yakima, Wash,, was backed up in this judgment by omer ill, authorities moved to a hospital too soon after nis heart attack. Dr. White, who was called for consultation with the President's physicians last Sunday, told news men in his office here.

I suppose things like that just HAVE to go with world leader ship. It's too bad we can't turn both of them over our knee for a good spanking. The National Safety Council re ports that heavy summer vaca tion travel has boosted the na tion's TOTAL traffic death toll for the first eight months of this year. The figure up to September 1 was 23,470' as compared with 22,430 for the same period in 1954. But On the basis of mileage the coun cil reported a more favorable fig ure. For the first seven months of 1955, the death rate was 5.8 for each 100 million miles, which is the lowest seven-month figure on record. That is to sav: MORE PEOPLE have been kill ed in traffic this year, but MORE PEOPLE have been traveling MORE CAR MILES. What is the answer to the traf fic hazard? The BEST ANSWER is BETTER DRIVING.

While agreeing that Hellzel was right about AAR tactics, ICC ex perts charged that he and the governor's committee had been do ing the very same thing in order to make the severity of the car shortage appear as extreme as possible. Whatever comes out of the rival shipping and railroad camps, ICC has to steer the middle course of statistical accuracy and it has concluded that the shortage boils down to just one thing: the rail roads haven t built enough new "Any family doctor would do well lo follow Gen.

Me. i Interior .Secretary McKay told a news con terence this week that legislation by states was the best way to combat water pollution. "The country must take an in terest in air and water pollution before it becomes a major prob lem," the former Oregon governor said. He recalled that it took Ore gon from 1937 to 1953 to clean up some of its major streams. Asked whether Sen. Morse CD Ore. could be unseated bv the Republicans even if President Eisenhower was not a candidate again, McKay said: "I think the Republicans can unseat Morse on his record.
