J That parade, scheduled to com mence again at 5:59 this morning when the first vehicle clears the afirgrounds gate, is destined to attract even more sightseers than the longer one which ran through Salem on Monday. Monday's long line of troop- filled trucks, commanders' cars and supply vans was good adver tising for the nationwide show in which Salem shares this week, they opined. Each morning through Friday will see similar, though shorter lines, traveling by highway 99 past the east end of the state capitol building and down 12th street. -Troops leaving here, this morning : will be fed shortly alter oawn and again wnen the line halts near Oakland for a, hot luncheon, served "picnic -style on paper plates.

In spite of the speed which brought the procession a distance of 189 miles in half a day Tues day only three flat tires and one set of hot brake shoes marred the journey. A heavy mainten ance truck bringing up the rear makes all repairs and thus does away with serious traffic jams. Radio communication between first car in the column and last, plus motorcycle messenger serv ice makes of the otherwise awk ward command a supple unit. Traveling in five serials, which in turn are divided into march units, the column is accompanied by a state police guard. Military police and state police divided responsibility of directing traffic as the line moves through cities and towns. f" Portland and Vancouver city officials met the troops as they traveled through Tuesday. Washington state police "es corted them to the state's bord er where Oregon state officers took up the march. Men quartered here Monday night and last night are part of the t far west's greatest military movement in history, which is only one unit of a migration of army corps all over the United States, all making ready for army 'games" in June. While one column marches through Salem on to Roseburg another leaving Fort Lewis goes to Vancouver and thence to Bend; returning those who now travel by. central Oregon are slated to cover highway 99 through Salem. Tonight's encampment probably will include heavy artillery equip ment, the most showy of all land forces, officers with troops here Tuesday night said.

Application of this surcharge to the Bonne-' ville standard rate weald bring a redaction of 22H Per. cent, or from 14.75 to $3.68, In the monthly bill of a householder buying 209 kilowatt hours of energy, , . . ' Other local surcharge rates in the Marion and Polk county area already determined ' are 10 per cent for Mt AngeL Silverton, West Salem and Woodburn and 15 per cent for Aurora, Donald, Gervais, Hubbard, St Paul and Turner. Rural districts will continue to receive power at the "postage stamp"-Tate, Polhemus said. Presentation of the new rates U the public is the result of stndles eondacted since the summer ef 1949 by Prof. F. O. McMillan, head of the depart ment of electrical engineering at Oregon State college, at the request of the company, the PGE president explained. Stud ies for areas outside of Marlon and Polk counties are still In progress. Polhemus predicted that the PGFs new rate policy would "ul timately have far-reaching ef fects on electric service costs in the territory served by PGE." l"The new locality surcharge policy," he continued, "is in line with the rate-making policies of the PUDs and municipalities dis tributing Bonneville power. "Changing conditions have made the adopton of locality surcharge' rates opportune. PGEs rural rates are now among the very lowest for large country areas in the United States. Abe a new source of. energy Bonneville dam has come into operation, and PGE is baying every kilowatt-hoar of Bonneville energy that it can obtain. .... "Under Portland General Elec tee's locality surcharge' rate pol icy, each community will be given incentive to earn lower rates by Increasing its use of electricity, and by helping keep down the costs of operation. .
