stated Oregon's case in regard to
proposed grouping of western rail
roads was presented before mem
bers and examiners , of the inter
state commerce ; commission here
today. ' It was set to occupy two
days; instead ft came to an end
in Jess thah two! hours.
. Three 'opinions . oh . railroad
merging were presented.. These
were by ' tt. If. Corey, chairman
of the public service commission,
who presented a statement reflect
ing the opinion of that organiza
tion, another by H. J.Ottenhel
mer, chairman of j the Chamber of
Commerce i committe who submit
ted a, declaration authorized by
directors yt that ;bqdy, and by S.
M. , Hears, f chairman of the. Port
land Traffic and Transportation
association. The chamber opinion
opposed western I1 rail 'groupings
generally ai this time, f
' All three findings stressed lack
of rail development in the state.
All showed . the- fear that group

No Surgeon Willing Yet' to

of Deluded Man
YAKIMA, Wash., March 2 8.
Though, the "lost" rWorld war vet
eran, known as Pat O'Reilly, begs
and pleads : that
an operation
which might relieve the pressure
on his' brain and so bring back
his lost yesterdays be performed,
no surgeon may attempt it unless
such an, emergency arises that the
youth's .very life' depends on it.

walled to his nurse. "I might far

young Pat, .who is not certain Of
his own name and usually thinks
he Is - back at a f base - hospital

Of the war department. : He is not
sufficiently competent, mentally,
in the eyes Df the law, to dedde
on the operation; he has no known
guardian to make the decision for
him, and the war. department has
not yet identified him and so
cannot act. Under the circum
stances no surgeon feels that he
has a right to operate unless the
possible emergency should arise.
