'just prior to a petition-filing deadline Wednesday, the

County Bastille
Has Mysterious
Breach in Walls
Lane County's antiquated
jail had another hole in its back
wall late Saturday night.
Sometime during the night a
foot-square hole was chiselled
through the jail's double walls.
Apparently no exit was made.
At presstime. details were
meager. Sheriff Tom Swartz
was making a shake-down of
prisoners in the bull pen and
several had been strioped down,
in an apparent search for the
instrument used in breaking
through the old walls.
The hole was seen easily from
inside and out and led directly
into the main room of the jail.
It was about head-high. Heavy
grillwork outside the wall
seemed untouched.

99-S By-Pass Talks
Reveal Prospect
By PHIL WOLCOTT
Red iter-Guard Staff Writer
By the time the proposed!
Highway 99 by-pass is built
around Sutherhn and Oakland,
another route to the coast will
have been opened from that
area to rival the present route
from Drain.
That's the story people In
Sutherlin ' got from the Oregon
State Highway Commission at a
recent hearing.
Actually a new road will not
be built, but existing 'highway
225 will be improved. And it
won't go clear to the coast, but
will connect with the Drain'
Reedsport highway at Elkton as it
does now.
This route, which could con
ceivably "steal" northbound
tourists on the way to the coast
; before they got to Drain, is "due
for a dressing," including sur-
, facing, next year, according to
the assistant state highway en
gineer, W. C. Williams,
All About 99-S
Hearings on the 99 by-pass
plan were held in Sutherhn and
Oakland last week, because fed
eral funds will be used in the
construction of the by-pass and
federal laws require such prior
discussions.
The two towns will be served
by three access junctions, where
the old and new roads will meet,
and where Highway 225 (Suther-
lin's Central Ave.) will cross the
new by-pass. No car will have to
pass through a lane of traffic to
turn on or off the new by-pass.
No other access to this "freeway"
will be allowed.
One highway junction will be
about one-half mile north of Oak
land the other about three-quar
ters of a mile south of Sutherlin.
The by-pass will be S.82 miles
long, compared with the old high
way 6.37 miles long. The cost of
the new by-pass is estimated at
$2,033,910, including the right-of-way
costs.
Savings Forecast
If the old highway were im
proved instead of building the
freeway, the cost would be about
$669,090 more not including the
added costs of additional controlled
accesses for existing roads. The

$95 Billion Total
Is Appropriated
Press Tricked in Advance Coverage
Of Springfield Utilities Board Election
WASHINGTON (UP) Congress voted President
Truman another $13 billion for national security Saturday
and went home with a record of peacetime spending, tax
ing, investigating and politicking just about unequalled in
the nation's history.
The 82nd Congress adjourned its first session sine die
after setting next Jan. 8, instead of the customary Jan. 3,
for the start of its second and last term. That is because
Jan. 3 falls on a Thursday instead of a Monday.
The House adjourned first, at 5:45 p.m. EST. The Sen
ate followed suit at 6:36 p.mT
Wearied by the longest unbroken session of any peace
time Congress since 1913-14, the lawmakers left unfinished
a lot of controversial legislation that will keep the poli
tical fires burning throughout the 1952 presidential year.
The record was one of billions for defense and nothing
for the reforms demanded by

location of the proposed Highway 99 by-pass in the Onk-land-Sutherlin
area. Northbound traffic to the coast will
be able to turn off 99-S before reaching Drain (see arrow).
Chest Subscriptions
Reach Third of Goal
Residential Drive
To Start Monday
More than a third of the 1952
Community Chest goal had been
collected by the end of the week,
with $61,758 either in the coffers
or pledged by donors. Goal for the
campaign which is seeking funds
for the support of 28 agencies is
$168,791.
There was still one division to
go. The Residential Division, which
will cover School District No. 4 on
a house-to-house basis, will begin
operations after a kickoff meeting
at 10 a.m. Monday in the McDon
aid theater. Mrs. Taut Charncski
is chairman of that division. Her
district chairmen are Mrs. J. J.
Fuller, Mrs. Charles G. Miller,
Mrs. Willis Warren, and Mrs. Irv

three big money bills totaling
about $13 billion, all aimed at

That was more than any pre
