Thus, in the field of trans portation backward countries are able to jump from the use of ani mal power to airplanes, skipping the railroad and automobile eras with their requirement of heavy investments for roadways. Alaska is a good example of bow the air plane has become the accepted means of travel, replacing in win ter the dog teams and in summer the pack trains. This is true in other undeveloped portions of the globe. One of the hopes for atomic en ergy is that it will enable remote sections to enter the electric age without waiting for hydroelectric plants or plants fired by coal or oil or gas. The advantage of atom ic power is that's -small weight of uranium contains a far greater store of power in its atoms than is yielded by the conventional burning of oil or coal. Thus the transportation of fuel becomes a email item. What looms as a possibility, how ever, is playing leap-frog on atom ic energy through fission. The original A-bomb released its ex plosive force through the splitting of the atom. The new thermonu clear weapon, the H-bomb, devel ops its power by fusion of atoms. The reported advantages of power through fusion are, first the great er potential and second the lack of radioactive wastes whose dis posal is a very serious problem for fission plants.

Plans for relocation of the road have been the center of contro versy in the Silverton area for several months. Attempts to secure approval of residents along this route and to obtain , needed right-of-way have not been made yet. The realignment will provide a better road for Evergreen resi dents to Silverton, but it was un derstood it will not displace a later road-building project which would cut north from Harmon Corner in the same- district and provide a through route north. This route is backed by the Cas cade Highway Association. A meeting of the association to discuss two routes proposed for the through highway has been set for Monday at 7 p.m. at the Silverton Cafe. County Judge Rex Hartley will attend the meet ing to explain the county's point of view on the routes. A delegation of Silverton resi Eastern States Sizzle NEW YORK to - The hottest day of the year left millions in the Northeast wilted and panting Fri day. It was 100 degrees or better in several areas, in the high 90s everywhere. The temperature hit 114 in South Wales, near Buffalo. N. Y 102 in Plainfiekl. N. J., 101 in Pough keepsie, N. Y. By a freak of nature, an east wind off the sea air-conditioned Boston, Mass., to a comfortable 82 most of the day while the area around the seaport sizzled. The wind slacked off in late afternoon 'and Boston's temperature rose to 91. I Smog and high humidity made the stew even more unbearable in some places. ' "No relief is in sight," was the soggy word from the New York Weather Bureau. The bureau re vised an earlier forecast of a res pite by Monday. In Washington, thousands of gov- ernment workers were sent home early as the heat reached a year's high of 98. It was the eighth con secutive day above 90 for the cap ital. A transit strike didn't make things any cooler. New York's Mayor Robert T. Wagner excused non-essential city employes at 1 p. m. The official high at the Weather Bureau on the Battery was 96.8. But in the city's streets and at La Guardia Airport it was 100 or better. The only saving factor in the world's greatest city was a sud den drop in humidity. PUC to Order SP to Retain Ashland Run An order forcing continuance of the Southern Pacific's Portland Ashland passenger run beyond Aug. 7 will be issued by the Ore gon Public Utilities Commission, it was announced Friday by. Com missioner Charles Heltzel who, however, expects the railroad to test the order in the courts. The railroad has ordered opera tions of this last Siskiyou line pas senger train to cease after that date. The SP claims financial losses and lack of patronage. Heltzel said the PUC's order, to be issued within the next few days, will set a hearing to deter mine the need and financial out look of the run. The decision to order continu ance, of the run and setting a hear ing followed receipt of formal complaints from three southern Oregon state senators asking that the ervice not be abandoned. They are Phil Lowry, Medford, Paul Geddes, Roseburg, and Gene Brown, Grants Pass. MEDFORD m The Live Oak Grange Friday said the Portland Ashland passenger train service of the Southern Pacific is needed. The Grange's 'was the latest in a series of protests against the aban donment of the run, scheduled for Aug. 7. Car-Tarring Complaint Filed Mrs. Kenneth J. Boedigheimer, Sublimity, has a complaint with the Marion County court: it seems her car was sprayed with black tar while parked in a driveway in Sub limity on July 13. The court said Friday that county equipment was in Sublimity on that date and re ferred the unscheduled car-tar ring to the engineer's office. to Ease Curves Road dents, headed by Dr. P. A. Loar, attended the court session Friday again petitioning the court to build a route from the school in to Silverton which would cut across property lines from Har mon corner and enter Silverton near Tokstad's service station. This route was termed "not feasi ble" by County Judge Rex Hart ley. Loar objects to the route backed by the association be cause it would necessitate a cross ing of the Southern Pacific tracks about a mile from SilvertorC Loar was accompanied Friday by Har ry L. Riches, Waldo Hills farmer. and Elmer Lawrence, Victor Point farmer. The realignment . would elimi nate two bad curves on the road. It would enter Silverton on West Main street, follow it to the Ray Meyer home and then cut across to Westfield street Traffic would be channeled over Westfield to McClain street The project. Hartley assured the Silverton men, would bring the road up to present county standards with adequate should ers, flat curves and a 22-foot paved surface. .Rnss-w Mid - Valley Bean Crop Starts Into Harvest Channels I '""y -' ,"' . - .

Vote Campaign Launched hy 3 Governors PORTLAND Wl The Republi can governors of three Northwest states mounted the same platform Friday night in a $100-a-plate din ner that signaled the start of a long political campaign in Oregon. Gov. Paul Patterson of Oregon was joined by Gov. Robert Smyjie of Idaho and Gov. Arthur B. Lang- lie of Washington at the well-at tended political affair. Speaking in turn, the governors delivered a one-two-three change of pace. Gov. Smylie spoke quietly, almost gravely in extolling the ac complishments of the Eisenhower administration. And he said he felt sure Eisenhower would accept the responsibility if called upon to run again for president. Smylie said he was sure that were Patterson and Langlie called upon to serve in other capacities, they would answer "I am willing and I am ready. . He obviously was referring to the possibility that each man would run for senator from his own state, Gov. Langlie spoke forcefully and was the only one of the three who directed harsh criticism . at the Democrats. Gov. Patterson pointed also to accomplishments of the Republican national administration. He sug gested to the Republican group that they spend less time worrying about the . Democrats and more time telling people what the Eisen hower administration had accom plished. Way Paved for McNary Honor. In Washington WASHINGTON (UP) Sen. Rich ard I.

Neuberger was told during floor debate that approval of a memor ial for. the late Sen. Robert Taft would set a precedent for memor ial plans for McNary. McNary served 28 years in the Senate and was its minority lead er for 11 years. NEGOTIATIONS ADVISED GENEVA if) The.

Bean picking started Friday at U. S. Alder man r arms the Disneyland ol all farming operations in the Pa cific Northwest . Eight hundred pickers answered the 5:30 a.m. opening call and swarmed over a 175-acre patch at By the 2 p.m. closing whistle wax bush beans and had earned a total of $3,000 at the going rate of 2"ents a pound. It sounds like big business, but for Alderman Farms' it was just a warm-up for the pole-bean sea son. By the peak of the pole-bean season, this giant farm expects Bean harvest story also on page 5, sec. 1. to have 2,000 pickers in the field. On a top day they may pick over 200 tons of beans. Bean pickers here Friday were looking forward to pole beans and bigger paychecks. The average picker made a shade less than $4 on opening day in the opinion of Mrs. William Zosel, McMinnville, longtime platoon leader. Pickers with nimble fingers will make close to $1.50 an hoar here on pole beans. Mrs. Zosel was in charge of 233 Portland pickers who came to Alderman Farms, 16 miles north of Salem, in six big school buses. Thirteen other buses brought. pic kers from as far as Depoe Bay and Vancouver, Wash., and re turned them after their day in the field. Beans picked Friday were taken to the food-freezing plant at Alder man Farms for processing. The bush beans really are . a transition crop at Alderman Farms where pickers have just finished with 950 tons of strawberries enough to fill 2Va million of the 10-ounce cartons sold at grocery stores.

Die Uses Big 4 To Do Straight By EDDY GILMORE . GENEVA U) President Eisen hower confided to a friend Fri- da that he prefers the informal atmosphere of the Big Four's buf fet to the formal sessions in the council chamber. "We make long speeches- some of them dull in the big ses sions," he told a friend, "but in the refreshment room we really think. You get to know a man a little in there." The buffet conversations among tbe Big Four have become a real part of this .conference. They art; relaxed, friendly and usually confined to two or three principals and sometimes an interpreter. . President Eisenhower his friend said, has done some "very straight talking" to the lead. of tbe Krem lin at these little half-hour gath erings that follow the afternoon sessions of tbe Big Four.' The chief of one Western dele gation is reported to have credited Alabama Vote Aims to Keep Segregation MONTGOMERY, Ala. Ml The Alabama Legislature took a bold, far-reaching, step to preserve class room segregation Friday by giving local boards almost unlimited auth ority to determine where individu al pupils must attend school. Without debate and without dis senting votes, tiie Senate passed and sent to the governor a school placement measure previously ap proved by the House. The rollcall vote in the Senate was 32-0. The bill gives city and county school boards unprecedented police power to "assure social order, goodwill and the public welfare" in the assignment of pupils on the grade school and high school level. It does not apply to institutions of higher learning. Each school child would be given his assignment on an individual basis, determined by 'what board members decide to be the best in terests of the pupil and the com munity and considering also his intelligence, learning bility and per' sonal character. The -act makes no mention of racial distinction, but its admitted purpose is to keep Negroes out of white schools despite the U.S. Su preme Court decree that segrega tion is unconstitutional. Buffet Sessions Talking to Russ Eisenhower with helping the Rus sians unbend at Geneva by bis easy manner with them in the buffet. "Laughter and smiles," said a delegation member "are the order. There are no growls and frowns." The buffet session was started at last year's Geneva conference on Asian problems, but the meeting time has been changed by the Big Four. At the Asian conferences the for eign ministers interrupted their for mal sessions by ad.' tuning to the refreshment room. At this summit conference the heads of govern ment adjourn to the refreshment room with its bar and high-toned lunch counter only after they've completed their daily sessions. The buffet serves sandwiches, canapes, small Swiss cakes and the fish an- ham dainties the Rus sians call zakuskie. The bar offers Jus4 abou' every drink 'hat you can buy at a European bar plus tea, milk, fruit juice, soft drinks and coffee. Dispute Hinges On Priority of German Unity GENEVA UH Russia and the Western rawer deadlocked tioit. ly over priorities to be assigned uerman unification and European security in future negotiations to solve those problems. An American spokesman said, however ,4hat "We believe we cer tainly hope these issues can bt resolved." - The deadlock became clear after foreign ministers of the four pow ers had worked through the day an into the night to try to find a form ula wnicn would satisfy both West ern and Russian delegations to the summit conference. Russia insisted on giving top pri ority to European security; the West solidly backed ton assignment to German unification.

The Salem pair revived Larry Weathers. 14, Brownsville, after ho developed a cramp while swim ming and went to the bottom of the Calapooya River. Credited by observers with sav ing the lad's life were Robert S. Elliott and George Crane, both Navy recruiters. They administer ed artifical respiration by hand after the boy was taken to Browns ville .three miles from the scene of the near-drowning. Their efforts climaxed a hectic series of events after the young swimmer got into trouble. A Eu gene man, Leslie Erb, pulled the boy from the river but failed to revive him. Then a companion drove to a farmhouse and summon ed Brownsville police who failed to revive the lad with a resuscitator. Then, witnesses reported, the lad was taken to Brownsville where the only docto- was out on a call. Next someone saw the Navy re cruiters and approached 'them for advice. - Crane said the lad had a very weak pulse and was "white as a sheet" when they began to work on him. He rallied after 30 minutes of treatment by the two men. Today's Statesman Sec Page.
