Washington Eyes Highway Changes OLYMPIA (AP) Study will tie made or tna possiDllity of mov ing Washington' U.S. Highway 10 U.S. Highway 30 link of pro posed new interstate traffic artery closer to the Trt-Clties area. The Highway Department's dis trict engineer in the area was ordered by the State Highway Commission Monday to look into the advisability ot another route from Mabton to the Umatilla Bridge, on the Columbia. Slate Sen. Mike McCormack, Richland Democrat, wrote High ways Director William Bugge. He urged the commission consider making the road run from Ellens hurg to Vantage, cross the Colum bia River at Vernila, pass through the Hanford project and around Pasco, and move through the Van Sycle Canyon in Oregon to Pendle ton. He said it would allow tourists to choose at Pendleton whether to go on into Washington or to Port land. Bugge. ordering the study, laid he had been told the federal road bureau would consider change in routes, but not the addition of extra mileage to the system. The presently-approved route cuts south and east at Mabton, hitting the Columbia Rlvor at the Umatilla Bridge. The proposed highway would connect U.S. 10 at Ellcnsburg with U.S. 30 at Pendle ton. Roe Rodger), Washington dis trict manager for the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, said moving the ruulc closer to the Trl-Cltles area would bo difficult to jitstify he cause it would add miles to the interstate system. it would probably also not get approval from Oregon, which is required by the bureau, Rodgers added.

Stanton Thin weekend RosebuTfr is observing Airport Recogni tion Days with a mammoth two-day air show. Recognition for the municipal airport is deserved. Few cities can show as much airport growth with as little fed eral aid as Roseburg. Because of the unfavorable terrain Roseburg perhaps never can build a port sufficient to han dle the big jet planes. But, for our essential needs, the port is arrmle. Furthermore, despite the terrain, Roseburg is, and long has been, an aviation-minded town. The Vmpqua Flying Club was one of the first amateur flying clubs to be organ ized in the state and has the longest unbroken record. Roseburg's modern airport is a far cry from the cow pasture) from which planes flew in the early days of avi ation. Shortly after the First World War the United States government decided it would be fine training for Army avi ation to patrol our forest areas during fire season. A fleet of DeHaviland bombers was flown to Portland, Eugene, Roseburg and Medford. The DeHaviland, com monly known as the "Flying Coffin," was a ship designed in England, powered with a heavy, American-built motor. It was a two-seated biplane. The fuel tank was located between two open seats, so that the slightest accident set fire to the ship and usually cremated the pilot and observer. Runway Cradecf A runway of sorts had been built in a field south of Roseburg,' a field now occupied by the Sun Studs Mill, a livestock feed plant, and other business and industrial oper ations. The field had a slight elevation in the center, so that outgoing planes took off downhill, while incoming planes landed uphill. The short field was capable of handling the slow ships of the day. The surface, however, was dirt. It was quite rough. Eugene and Medford, both with much better sites, could boast of gravel on their runways. The Roseburg field had no surfaced runway. It wasn't liked by the fliers. But, thanks to the recklessness of at least one of the Army contingent, the Roseburg airport received its first federal aid. This flier violently hated the "Flying Coffins" used on the patrol. Reportedly he deliberately wrecked three of the planes on the Roseburg field. In each instance he re ported the accident to have been caused by the rough sur face. So, the patrol had three fewer planes to fly back to the base in California and Roseburg was given money to buy 'gravel with which to surface the runway. New Site Obtained i With the coming of newer and faster planes, Roseburg's airport south of town was totally unsuitable. The city passed a bond issue, over strong objection that the public permit tax money to be used for such "new-fangled ideas," and bought the property on which the present airport is lo cated. Roseburg received a sizable federal grant during days of the Great Depression. Money was made available for a YTA job in which the previously gravelled runway was re located and hard-surfaced. carries the present runway the airport. Aside from help given as a part of national relief work, most of the improvement at the airport has been done by the city and by private fliers. . , This week's air show is expected to pay off the last of the existing debt on Improvements made by local fliers and, it is hoped, furnish enough money to add needed taxi strips to a growing airport. All of which is far different than the old dirt runways used in the beginning days of Editorial NO EASY SLEDDING Albany Democrat-Herald One can very well understand Howell Appling's reluctance to do battle with Sen. Wayne I.. Morse for the Oregon scat in the United States Senate which will be vacat ed at the end of Morse's term next year. Oregon's senior senator is prob ably the moat aslute politician Or egon has produced since the time of the late George K. Chamber lain. The two are far from similar. Chamberlain, a Democrat, suc ceeded in winning elections while Oregon was strongly Republican simply by making friends. Every body liked him so everybody voted for him. And as governor and la ter U.S. Senator, he made good. Morse needs not so-much to make friends, though he does have some friends, as to convince a majority of voters that he is as good as he says he is. And at that he has proven himself an expert, lie has the faculty of making the voters forget hla faults, come elec tion time, no mailer how glaring they may have been. Furthermore he docs not have the handicap of me majority ot Kepuulican regis (rations that Chamberlain had la overcome. So anyone who opposes Morse in 19K2 faces a gruelling campaign. wee. TAKE IT FOR GRANTED Salem Capital Journal All federal aid, of course, isn't had. Grants for airport improve ments and interstate highways are two natural areas for cooperative effort, for example. But it ran reach obviously ab surd levels. Oregon at the moment is using a federal grant to set up an agen cy to seek federal grants. One of the men seeking the job as grant seeker is the man who headed the federal office which granted the grant to look for a granler to get grants, if we make ourselves clear.

He has a gnnd office position with a firm which has branches in many cit ies. His employer (one of the own ers of the company) invited us to dinner at a very expensive place. It was a most enjoyable evening. I told my husband we owed them an invitation, and should have them to our home for dinner. Ho said an employee never entertains his boss as it will look as though he is polishing the apple. I told him he was wrong; that if his boss didn't want to socialize with us, he wouldn't have entertained us. I still think we owe them an invitation. We aren't trash. My husband Hal Boyle Inordinate Memory Is Most Vexing Thing About Wives NEW YORK (AP) I dreamed the other night that my wife re married this time to an ele phant. It's not-too hard to figure out why an ordinary husband would have a dream like this. One of the most vexing things about most wives to most hus bands is their inordinate memory. No machine, fed endless Intor- mation on tape, can match the total recall born in wives. The many incidents of ordinary living that don't register at all in a husband's mind and others that he wisely chooses to regret and forget slay in a wife's mind at her Immortal beck and call. A wife cannot simply forget to remember. Well, anyway, I had this odd dream the oilier night. I had passed on to the remembrance of a grateful posterity. My wife, after counting the insurance and a suitable period of quiet jubila tion, married an elephant. Many of her friends thought this was rather an unusual choice as the elephant wasn't, as elephants go, an outstanding character. But those who best knew Frances, my wife, realized the reason the elephant to her bore a sentimental resemblance to her first husband. And he had an added virtue: He didn't drink martinis. "The best hcadstand you did, Jumbo," said Frances, pausing in her knitting, "was before August 12. it was such a hot er peanut. Jumbo replied: "You neaosiana 1 aia was in Kansas , aJMaaaaiaaMi Ficu I sAul and I are both educated, and are in no way inferior to the boss and his wife. I feel cheap.

(AP)-Mail from Hell no longer will bear the post mark of nearby Pinckney. The government has granted the tiny southern Michigan town of 200 residents a post office sub station. Earlier this year the Michigan State Highway Department ,put the town on the state highway map for people who wanted to know how to get to Hell. State police had to post a 33-mile-an hour speed limit on the road to Hell in response to com plaints that demons were burn ing up a half-mile main street. The postal sub-station went up Wednesday in the town restaurant the Ranch Grill, owned by AI Dewey. Grinning citizens gathered around while Mrs. Dewey, the newly appointed postmistress, canceled the first stamp. A 10-year battle had been won. "It often seemed hopeless," said Mrs. Dewey. "But this is an especially happy day in Hell."

S. Automation Boom NEW YORK (AP)-You set a gadget that keeps the roast from burninfi in the oven. In troubled Kuwait or serene Aruba you would adjust an in- J strument to make sure that de- salted sea water gets Just the right amount of soda ash added, as needed, to make it tasly. The power generating plant that supplies you with electricity I has a device that assures a steady pulsing speed otherwise j your electric clock, would never be dependable. Oilmen use automatic gadgets to move widely differing products through the same complex pipe line networks without mixing. Huge factories start or stop in tricate industrial processes much as your thermostat turns the oven on and off to cook the roast to a turn. It may be a simple switching device lo regulate your furnace heat or the most complicated of electronic automation it's known as process control. And the mak- j ing of controls grows steadily and 1 their variety multiplies so does ; the list of firms making them. ! There are now controls to ride ; herd on olher controls as automa : lion spreads through more indus 1 tries. i Annual sales of control devices are estimated at around $200 mil- : lion. And this doesn't include the cost of computers that may be ! checking up on or improving the 1 operation of these mechanization devices. "Computer control of processes is rounding out the industrial evo lution which began when man dis covered the principles of the lev er and the wheel." says George K. Beggs Jr. He is executive vice president of Leeds AV Northnip ot I'hitadelphia. a veteran maker of control instruments. During World War I. L.&N'. patented an experimental auto matic control equipment, forerun ner of the refined controls it now makes for industry. .Many automatic controls are involved in the space flights cap turing today's headlines. But they have many down to earth uses. too. They regulate not only temperatures, but humidity, concentration of flow of gas or liquid, radiation, light intensity, mechanical .'oad, weight, size and speed. but with people, who seem to in elude some of his critics, in the department. For several days there were news stories predicting Bowles was going to be yanked out of his job by Kennedy and given an assignment as roving ambas sador. What made the stories sound authentic was their double nature: Some indicated the informa tion critical of Bowles' perform ance as undersecretary came from people serving under him in the State Department (his boss, Secretary of State Dean Rusk has never figured in this) and from people in the White House, meaning people close to Kennedy. But one, suggesting Bowles had no intention of letting himself be bounced around, clearly pointed to the unnamed informants as men around Bowles. This could be taken as meaning Bowles had approved their talking, if he hadn't inspired them to. This one appeared after the anti-Bowles stories. It said blunt ly Bowles would get out of the Kennedy administration altogeth er if Kennedy tried to remove him as undersecretary. Whether or not it chilled the anti-Bowles forces in the admin istration is not known but this is known: that same day Ken nedy lunched with Bowles and the White House denied Bowles was resigning. Then Kennedy at his Wednes day news conference said: He had never asked Bowles for his resignation, always expected him to serve out the life of his administration, had complete con fidence in him, and that Secre tary Rusk had complete confi dence in him too. Still, Kennecy hadn't said Bowles wouldn't be moved out of his job as undersecretary. So a reporter asked him the obvious question: Was there still a pos sibility Bowles might be shifted? Kennedy said that as of now he thinks Bowles should stay as undersecretary, thai he has no plans to ask him to take another assignment, but that he will ask him if he thinks Bowles can fit in better somewhere else. That's a long way from saying Bowles is in solid as undersec retary. University Deans Get Administration Duties EUGENE (AP) University of Oregon President Arthur S. Flam ming has moved to make the Uni versity's Board of Deans more of a cabinet-type organization. Flemining. who look over as president July 1, has changed the name of the board to the Presi dent's Committee. According to an announcement from Flcmming's of fice, the committee will work more closely with the president and have more administrative duties than the old board, which was primarily an advisory organization. Members include all of the uni versity deans; Carl Hintz. univer sity librarian, and James Shea, di- 1 rector of public services. Plants such as in Aruba use a control instrument to measure the alkalinily of the desalted water, and if it falls below the standards of human taste the device signals a valve which adds enough soda ash to bring it up to the desired ! flavor. Relatively small gadgets can do some mighty big jobs.

Rate Action WASHINGTON (AP) The House Post Office Committee has handed President Kennedy an other setback his efforts to raise postal rales by postpon ing further action until Aug. 17. With Congress eyeing a Labor Day adjournment and opponents of any increase - armed with dozens of time-consuming amend ments to be disposed of. the post, ponement all but kills the bill for this year. "I say it's dead as a doornail for this session." declared Rep. James H. Morrison, D-La., who offered the postponement motion. It carried 13-9 in a vote cutting across party lines. The delaying motion action came on the heels of a new re quest by Kennedy for increases in postal rates to help cut the mount ing deficits of the Post Office De partment, estimated at nearly $900 million for fiscal 1062. The administration is asking for rate changes that would bring in $590 million more, largely through one-cent increases in first-class mail, postcards and airmail. The- total was scaled down from $741 million after the committee rejected the larger bill. ' Kennedy Signs Pollution Bill WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Kennedy signed legislation Thursday to beef up the govern ment's drive against pollution of the nation's rivers and lakes. It provides more funds for the anti pollution program and strengthens federal power to en force compliance with remedial measures. 1 Sponsored by Rep. John Bl.it nik, D-Minn.. the new law au thorizes additional government spending of $570 million to help cities build sewage treatment plants and to finance other abate ment programs. The extra spending, in the form of grants subject lo appropria tions, would be spread over a period of six years, with $80 mil lion for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1962. No grant could ex ceed $600,000, an increase of $350, 000 over the present ceiling. j The new law gives the fedoraft government authority to enforce antipollution measures in intra state waters which are navigable by federal standards and permits the government to intervene in olher intrastate pollution prob lems upon the request of state authorities. Less than 50 per cent of Ore gon's residents are adequately pro tected against polio, and even few er have had shots to prevent Olher diseases. SUBSCRIPTION RATES II Oillia - It Mill 9tr Yaar, 111.
