Stanton ' Who will build a bridjre across the South Umpqua Riv er, where we plan a new crossing as a part of the redevelop ment of Roseburs's disaster zone? The planners tell us it will cost eifrht or ten million dollars to rebuild the area. Where is the money coming r0nvhat assurance do we have that any kind of plan will be acceptable? Are feelings and opinions of the people to be totally ignored in any reconstruction program? How soon may we expect redevelopment? These and other questions are running rampant around the city. They have increased in number and importance since the preliminary plan was released by planning con sultants Tuesday night. Obviously the bridge plan, the crossing of the river, is one of the first and most important matters to be settled. As was said by the planners, any program they may ad vance will depend upon the flow of traffic. Quick Decision Needed There are many schools of thought on the bridge ques tion. Every proposed crossing has its proponents, its ad vocates. There is wide disagreement on methods and places. The planning consultants built their plan around a pro posed crossing at Douglas Ave. and an overhead extend ing across Stephens St. They arrived at this decision, in part, because low-priced land is involved. H wouldn't cost as much as to build in some other localities, they said. At the same time, by hitting the perimeter of the down town shopping area they wouldn't be taking land that could be developed and given value as taxable property. But the city of Roseburg won't have too much to say about the final location of the bridge, its approaches and overheads, if any. The bulk of the money must come from federal and state funds. Douglas County doubtless will aid in I he proj ect. City money will be a relatively small factor. Con sequently the Highway Commission doubtless will make cost one of the factors in its decision. At the same time, the project proposed by the city's planning commission unquestionably will enter into the Highway Department's thinking in large measure. Land Required Now that the plan lias been submitted, the findings of the planning consultants discussed, a nrocram nronnsp.d. the Highway Commission doubtless will consider this nm. gram in the Vmht of its own engineering. But the tinut de-lmct,'lat'ori heard can iwuty the cision pvoimniy will rest wllh the Highway Commission which will direct expenditure of ithe greater part of the money. There is one school of thought which would not build expensive overhead structures at this time. The bridge crossings, or crossing, would be designed and erected how ever, with the addition of an overhead at some future dale in mind. ... In that case it should be the duly of the city or of the cooperating ngencics to buy up and hold all rights of wa" until such time as they are needed. There isn't any idea of the city's total cost until such lime as the program has been fully adopted. Trobablv it will run in the neighborhood of a million dollars. Perhaps less (we hope). Doubtless we'll finance most of the redevelopment cost through the federal renewal agency. Coupled with that we may expect the influx of b considerable amount of private investment money. Already some plans are being made for business and industrial construction in the area. Resi dential construction may be expected to follow as needed. Public opinion will not go unheeded. No major steps win uu uiKen unui ine pimuc lias Had an opportunity to express itself, either at public meetings or elections. If people have "gripes" they should contact the planning com mission. It isn't sufficient to sit back and complain, at a uini! me inis. u meas are legitimate, they should be sub mitted to proper auinonties. We mustn't expect reconstruction to happen overnight The plan submitted will take at least five vears to execute It is based on continued development over a period of 20 years. The planners, however, mentioned three things that are vitally necessary the three C's cooperation, coord iiw turn, capital. Those three things are equallv essential, it seems to me, if we are to have a program of directed reconstruction. Which way is best? I In an effort to answer lhat ques tion, let's take a look at families. In some families, the parents be lieve children should have every thing they want, regardless of cost. In other families, the parents de cide what is BEST for the chil dren, within the limits of the fam ily income, and then du their best to provide it. Again Which way is BEST? That can only he decided by watching the children. It VERY often happens. though, lhat chil dren who have been trained to ex- Let's put it this way: n'l'VllR UUI i.lui.iv. uiiw iv.., . ., .1 would have government spend !

Anyway. I'm personally grateful to Editor Forrester for putting this fundamental conflict between the lihcraU and the conservatives so succinctly and so clearly. MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet with the success of the forthcom Union has told the Western AUies that West German plans to Russians Outthink American Students COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Twelve build a new radio station in West Berlin may hinder negotiations on the city's future. The Soviet government, in a protest note, charged setting up the radio would be unlawful and was designed to "step no subver sive activity and hostile propa ganda." The protest, quoted by Moscow radio, was sent to the United States, Britain and France, which share control of West Berlin. The Soviet move was sparked by proposed legislation by West Germany on radio and television policy. The plans include a transmitting station, Deutscnland Funk, in West Berlin.

"American student minds here met the Russians minds and were The note called on the Ui.itcd : defeated," the paper reported States, Britain and France to take steps to "preclude the possibility of such unlawful actions" by the West German government. The radio proposal is contained in a draft of a new West German radio and television law. It has been approved by the Cabinet '.f Chancellor Konrad Adenauer but has not yet gone to Parliament. Whether the new radio project would ever be realized was doubt ful. The bill is controversial and state governments are resisting entry of a federal agency into the radio and television field. I Editorial Comment "The Maneater said this was. an example of exchanges between the Soviets and their hosts: Typical American question: "Why does the Moscow govern ment prevent the republics from seceding?" Answer: "Why was the Ameri can Civil War fought?" Silence. The paper said American stu dents can't discuss U.S. foreign policy intelligently or even the American system of government.

Railway Labor Act Best Strike Prevention Means WASHINGTON (AP) Most of, strike for 80 days, as he did in that basketful of sugge.-licns for; the steel case, preventing big strikes will remain: New Strike Allowed in the basket. But Congress will At the end of that time in probably consider some, and even ' which federal mediators try to get act on them, if the slrcl strike starts up again. They range from compulsory arbitration to giving the President a whole arsenal of mmhods for slopping shutdowns which en danger the national wellare. Th government already has a number of devices. One of (he most successful at least in the sense of preventing railroad strikes is the Railway Labor Act which applies to rail roads and airlines but not the rest of American industry. It has worked belter with rails than air lines. This is the machinery when railroad unions and the companies can't agree: Either side can call in a federal mediation board whose job is get ting holh sides to see the light. The mediation process alone de lays a strike. If this fails, the hoard can suggest both sides sub mit their case to arhitraiion. If both sides did. the arbitration board's findings would be binding on both. But this isn't the same as compulsory arbitration. Either side or both could refuse to ac cept arbitration. Board Gives Advice If arbitration is rejected, the TOO ABUNDANT GAME Albany Democrat-Herald Including many sportsmen as well as non-hunters is a school ot thought in vigorous opposition to the State Game commission's pol icy of permitting the limited killing ot docs, both deer and elk, in cer tain areas.

FIRE HALL OKAYED JEFFERSON (AP) Voters here have approved a $13,000 bond issue for construction of a new fire hall by a vote of 67-39. sieht Labor and despise the thought of a federal law providing compulsory arniua tion. Under this a federal board, after hearing both sidns. would give a decision which bolh would have to accept. This would mean the govern ment was fixing wages. In fair ness to the workers, thus shackled by federal law, the government in time would probably have to fix prices, too. Then the American free economy wouldn't bo so free anv more. If the President were handed a new arsenal of weapons under a new law ranging from govern ment seizure of a struck industry to factfinding and -uinpulsory arbitration it might wolU belter than anything now on the books. But, since there is so much dis pute on everything proposed, the whole subject will get a tremend ous kicking around if Congress ever reaches the point of going beyond what It has enacted so fai in the labor field. President who. in turn, can bd. point a board of fact-tinders who would examine the cav, mako their findings public, and make recommendations for a settle mcnt. While the fact-finders work, a strike is delayed 60 days. Al though the fact-finders recom mendations aren't binding, thev have the support of public pres sure on both sides to accept. There's a nationwide i ail dis pute going on now with three unions. It's a pretty good test for the Railway Labor Act. If it doesn't work in this case, the country faces a big strike early next year. A different law-lhe Tail-Hart-ley Act covers that part of the American economy which is called big industry, has big unions, and is vital In the nation. This is the T-H machinery. When (he President thinks a strike if continued, or allowed lo start, imperils the national health or safely, he appoints a board to look into the dispute.

The apparatus warms or cools a patient's blood quickly and with out damage an essential sten where surgery involves opening the heart and working inside il. Surgeons at the Naval Medical Institute in Belbcsda, Md.. have used the device successfully ir more than 30 operations. It i! used in conjunction with a heart lung machine. Indians, who depended largely upon game for subsistence, knew no seasons or bag limits. Similarly the early settlers were uninhibited, and did little to in crease the deer population. Public realization that deer and elk might disappear entirely bore fruit in enactment of protective game laws and establishment of the state game commission, em powered with regulatory authority. Under modern day protection herds of both deer and elk have hcen so ereatlv replenished that in some areas, mostly east of the Cascade mountains, grazing prob lems have arisen. It has hcen nec essary durine periods of drought or heavy snows to provide feed for deer to save tnem trom starva tion. And even under normal weather conditions some overgraz ing has occurred, particularly where deer are in competition with range cattle. Even the Willamette valley has too manv deer now to suit farm ers. Deer have been seen now and then in Albany residential Districts and in nearby farm lanas tncy have become a nuisance here and there. Even when underbrush is lush and food abundant the deer seem to prefer menus of vegetable lops and flowers. Reforesling agencies also com plain their efforts are too often thwarted by deer and elk. So it has become necessary for tha game commission to relinquish hans on deer killing here and there make recommendations The President then can ask a j sey and Massachusetts, federal court order to stop the sales lo quote."

New Jer- too few POLITICAL PHYSIQUE Pendleton East Oregonian ' Since adjournment of the Con gress, Senators Morse and Neu berger and Rep. Ullman have been here to check with their constitu ents. Sen. Hubert Humphrey has been here to test the feeling on his candidacy for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. And Sen. John Kennedy is coming next month for the same purpose. We've been watching politicians from a newspaperman's place at the table for a long time. We find them as interesting today as the day we first wrote about one. Let us say in the beginning that the work these men undertake is a high calling. Not all measure up to it. But we think most try to. They have a deep feeling for the importance of what they are doing. They know that the effectiveness of our government depends so much upon their effectiveness as participants in it. There is much they do with which a great many people disagree but most of them. do what they do because they con scientiously believe it is right. There's one asset that most pol iticians share. It is tremendous energy. Newspapermen who travel with politicans during campaigns' are near collapse when they re turn to the quiet of a newspaper office. And this go-go-go isn't con fined to campaigning. They keep at it the year around. Let's look at the people mention ed at the beginning. Sen. Morse's physical stamina has confounded observers for years. He can do with almost no sleep, day aflei day, and look as fresh at any timi of day or night as a college boy go ing out on a dale. There is a question that is asked repeatedly of Sen. Neuberger: "How does he find lime to do it?" In addition to staying always on top of all his senatorial work he writes for magazines and newspa to pacify outraged property own- "a'volu' S ers. As to doe seasons, however, the game commission restricts hunt ing permits to areas where over population of deer has arisen, or where the numerical preponder ance of does over bucks has cre ated a sex imbalance. Tiicse at tempts to correct overgrazing and restore balance of does and bucks are made by the game commission only after thorough studies have been made of conditions in hunt ing localities throughout the state. It is elk, because of their size and tendency to defy hunters, that came nearest to extinction and elk hunting was prohibited entirely for many years. But now even they have become too numerous here Hal Boyle Philosophy Again: Scribe Compares Plants, Humans NEW YORK (AP) - Sidewalk scrawls of an Alley Aristotle: People don't generally plant enough things. One can plant things and create thereby his own garden of hate and love. The opportunities are endless. Let's start with halo. Suppose there is a human weed and nei ther you hor he can escape the fact he is a weed. You know it and he knows it. What you do is plant a flower in a pot. You name the flowt-r after him, and trust as 't blossoms ho will also smell as sweet. Actu ally once you plant, hate usually turns to hope. The man becomes the bloom.' There are people, however, who have a sterner garden of rcmem hrance and never forgot or for give. They are firm friends and firm halers. I have seen a man go out in the dark and defile a large tree as a symbol of his enmity. I have seen olher men nurse a seedling as a growing monumtnt to a friend gone by. . One time, years ago, I fat with a man in the gathering dusk and watched through a dimmiug lace of leaves. "I have a name for each of these trees, and each is a friend.

IlK personal correspondence. When Rep. Ullman sets out to cover his congressional district 18 counties on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains it is an assignment that would make many suong men lake to drinK. But dur ing every recess of the Congress he gets over that tremendous area and looks as fresh as a debutante every day he is doing it. Sen. Humphrey exudes energy. You get some estimate of how much he sleeps when you read his speeches on the floor of the Sen ate and elsewhere. He is informed on a countless number of subiects. His impromptu remarks read like prepared orations. This requires a great amount ot study. it nas oeen reported from sever al sources that Sen. Kennedy reads a book a day. Those who have heard his speeches in the Senate know that he never talks from notes, that he is one of the best informed men in that house. He is an able senator and still finds time for all that reading. Think you could do it? Whether or not vou like the re sults they produce you will have to concede that the energy most politicians put into their work, is almost super-human. If your son aspires to a life in government he sure he has the physique to take it. J. W. Forrester Jr. RESPECT UNTARNISHED Eugene Register-Guard The firing of Cliff Ferguson, for mer rail transportation supervisor in the Oregon Public Utilities Com mission, has been upheld by the state's civil service commission The civil service board held a lengthy hearing on Ferguson's ap peal for reinstatement, then ruL'd lhat it could (ind no evidence he had been fired for any reasons oUier than that he failed to obey orders of his boss, PUC Commis sioner Jonel Hill. The civd service commissioners criticized Hill for perhaps acting too rashlv in deal ing with a personnel problem, but they did not question his right to command. In retrospect. Cliff Ferguson won the respect of many Oregon lum bermen and other rail shippers ne cause of his willingness to do bat tle against the railroads when he thought them wrong. That respect remains untarnished even though it may also be true that Ferguson's contentious nature was his undoing in the PUC home office. Now Commissioner Hill has com bined Ferguson's old job with that of the motor vehicle transportation supervisor. Only time will prove whether this new arrangement will be satisfactory to Oregon shipoers or. whether a curmudgeon's touch was what it took to carry out the job Ferguson held.
