H. Baldock announced Friday. A separ ate truck routing will be effective Twenty-four new traffic light installations, new lane markings and numerous signs will govern the flow of vehicles ' in the xiev pattern, first proposed Jan. 10, 1949, and since then known unof ficially as the "Baldock plan." The program, designed to re lieve traffic congestion in the city, has ; been approved by the city council. Including a new Willam ette rivet bridge, a highway by pass and a new westside routing, it was originally estimated to cost some $7,600,000. Y First Phase ef Plan . Except for the start on Marion street bridge construction - and westside levee work,' this is the first phase of the program, and none of the remainder is expected to be in use for about two years, the engineer said. Extension of the one-way grid beyond state highway streets would be up to the city council and could come at any time. This would include possibly the coup ling of Ferry and State, Court and Chemeketai and the north south, streets above liberty. The state highway commission has relinquished control , over Court street and taken over Mar lon street, instead. - The grid going into effect Oc tober 7 covers the highway streets from the main Hollywood inter section to Commercial and Oxford streets. Bridge Delays Program ' i - Southbound traffic will leave Portland road at Hollywood and go via Fairgrounds road. Summer,; Marion, and Commercial streets. Northbound can will . leave Commercial street at Oxford street by a cutover built several months ago, then travel via Lib erty. Center and Capitol streets. At present the route follows Commercial, Court and Capitol streets. Because the second Willamette river bridge is not completed, Center street will remain two way from Liberty street west to permit northbound cars to turn from Liberty onto the bridge, and Marion street will remain two way from Commercial street west. This is not expected to cause confusion, however, since turns at the involved Intersections will not be across oncoming traffic. ? Track Routes Set Truck routes, set up by theH state for the city, in eonection with the new traffic plan are: Northbound trucks will leave the highway at 12th street junc tion, as at present, and be routed over 12th, Court and Capitol streets. Southbound trucks will leave the highway at Portland road and Pine street, go west on Pine and - south on Commercial street into and through the city. - Northbound trucks in the down town area will go north on lib erty, west on Division (also one way), north on Commercial to the Y and again on liberty to Pine street, which is a new two way development From Division to the Y, Commercial will carry traffic in both directions, but a concrete divider has been in stalled in the middle of the street , . . - . t Tone, Payion CLOQUET, Minn, Sept 28-JP-Franchot Tone of the movies to night married Barbara Payton, the film starlet over whose affections he fought with Tom Neal two weeks ago in Hollywood.

PRODUCTION LOST r PORTLAND, Sept 28 -tPH The power cut-back reduced Pacific northwest aluminum production by 870 tons inthe first week, the Bonneville Power administration said today. ACHESOX VACATIONS ; WASHINGTON, Sept 23 - Secretary cf State Aeheson start ed a vacation today at his nearby Sandy Spring, Md. farm. Tirana; 0!d An individual income tax in crease of 11 per cent for most per sons would go into effect Novem ber 1. Those in the income brack ets above $50,000 would get light er treatment. . In addition, individuals would have to pay higher excise taxes on many things they buy: Gasoline, automobiles, .cigarettes, liquor, beer, trucks appliances such as dish washers, power lawn mowers and clothes dryers, and fountain pens and mechanical pencils. Overwhelming defeat met last minute -efforts of administration supporters to increase the amount of new revenue. In a climactic vote, the ..senate rejected a plan to increase per sonal income taxes $2,500,000,000 by- eliminating the benefits of in come splitting between married couples. The vote was 62 to. 14, at tne same tune. Bus Officials Set On Terminals Downtown merchant and bus line leaders came to a meeting of minds on new bus terminals Fri day in a conference at city halt The group of IS businessmen is recommending, as a result the fol lowing plans to city and state: , L Retaining present Commer cial ; street terminal, by blocking off a complete lane at the east edge of . the street between .State and Court streets. This would en able entry on buses headed north on a one-way southbound street when the new traffic plan opens October 7. The Commercial street plan was given preference, but is not ex pected to win the approval of the state highway department State Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock was reported as giving the opinion that such. an. arrangement prob ably couldn't' be made safely. : 2V An amended version -f a cur rent engineer's plan for bus stops at the State and Liberty street in tersections. The changes - would place three bus stops on the east side of Liberty, extending north from State, plus longer bus load ing zones on that side of the street extending south from State and on the. north side of State street be tween Liberty and Commercial streets. Commercial street businessmen have organized to try to keep the bus stops on their street Retailers farther east have cited the already-existing concentration of traffic on Liberty street and for the most part haven't particularly sought the change. NWs Power Problem Eyed WASHINGTON, Sept 28 -3V. The Pacific northwest power shortage generated sparks all over capitol hill today. In quick suc cession: - - .i ': -1.

Control Installations In Abadan, meanwhile, Iranian authorities appeared today to have taken virtually complete control of AIOC's huge installations. Iranian troops now are barring British employes from the world's biggest refinery unless Jhey carry special Iranian passes, an AIOC spokesman reported. Troops who have been in Abadan for some weeks damned down th tiw re striction in the past 24, hours. : Russia's attitude in the situation poses a major m-oblem for Britain and the west as a whole. The west ern powers obviously fear that Russia might march into northern Iran If Britain should land traona in the south. Under the 1921 Rus- so-lranian treaty, Iran can count on Russian military support If at tacked. Routine Check.

Douglas McKay was noti fied Friday by the Western Invest ment Banking Credit Restraint Committee It had declined to ap prove two issues of Oregon Veter ans Bonus Bonds aggregating $40, 500,000: Rejection of the Governor's re quest for committee endorsement of these bonds will not interfere with plans of the state veterans de partment to begin distribution of the bonus -- applications Monday, sam Thomas Lawson McCali, ass istant to the Governor. The rejected bond issues were approved by the voters at the last general election. One issue, for ssoo.uuo, was to cover administra tive costs of the state veterans bonus division, and the other, in volving $40,000,000, for actual pay ments of the bonus. ' ' Sale Set Anyway , McCaU said the smaller bond issue would be offered for sale Oct ober 4, despite the committee's ad verse decision, while the larger bond issue would be offered later In the month. If no bidders for the bonds appear, McCaU said, an ef fort will be made to sell them to the state bond commission.

That at the time of approval of the bonds by the voters there was no conflict with the federal polic ies involving the issuance of bonds. Inflation Blame - .
