General Claims
All National
Guard to Serve
PORTLAND, Sept. 27 -ffV-Maryland's
adjutant general said
today he believed all national
guard divisions in the country
would ultimately be called into
federal service.
Four units of the 23 infantry and
So armored divisions already
ve been called up.
In any case, Maj. Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, the adjutant general, said
national guardsmen can expect in
tensified training at home with
units brought to full strength.
One reason all guard units
couldn't be called into service at
once was lack of equipment. Gen
eral Reckord, ex-president of the
National Guard association and
now chairman of its legislative
committee, said.
The national guard, he added, is
In the best condition in its history.
Oregon, Reckord said, violated
a federal law when it activated the
Oregon .national guard reserve as
a security force to replace nation
al troops when called to federal
duty. Several other ; states did
likewise.
But congress rectified the mat
ter before adjournment by re-
enacting the state guard law,
Reckord said.
He was her conferring with
Majv Gen. Thomas E. Rilea, Ore
gon .adjutant general. They visited
Gov. Douglas McKay in Salem
this, afternoon and returned here
tonight for a conference with top
guard- commanders of the state.

Citizens of this area would be

adopted, a spokesman for the Sal

SP Freight
Traffic Hits
Record High
PORTLAND, Sept. 27 In spite
of a country-wide shortage of
freight cars, Southern Pacific has
established an all-time high in the
first eight months of 1950 for the
movement of freight shipments to
and from Oregon.
This fact, indicating Oregon's
expanding economy, was made
public in Portland today by W.
W. Hale, vice president in charge
of the railroad's system freight
traffic
Up to September 1, 150,915
loaded cars had been shipped from
Oregon points on the .railroad's
Portland division, he said, where
as less than 50,000 loaded cars
were hauled into the territory.
Because of the disparity be
tween Oregon's loaded inbound
and outbound traffic, Hale said,
Southern Pacific has brought close
to 100,000 empty freight cars onto
the Portland division in 1950 in
order to give Oregon shippers
their full share of available
equipment.
