Eugene to Start
Traffic School
In Safely Drive
Many other U.S. cities have
tried "traffic schools" as a means
of reducing accident rates. Now
Eugene is planning to give the
idea a whirl.
Police Chief Ted Brown Tues
day reported the city plans to use
a large storage space upstairs in
the new city jail as the school
site.
Working with Municipal Judge
John L. Barber, Jr., Chief Brown
has arranged for a "curriculum" of
traffic safety instruction, driving
tips and reviews of the state
motor laws. The school, probably
to be held once each month, also
will have the stamp of modern
education.
Audio - visual aids projection
slides and sound movies will be
used, Chief Brown reported. And,
in this connection, he mentioned
that General Petroleum Co. is
sending Eugene a gift copy of its
traffic film, "And Then There
Were Four." Most cities must bor
row copies of the film from the
company for special occasions, but
General Petroleum has been im
pressed by Eugene's efforts to im
prove driving safety. Hence, the
gift, Brown said.
There'll be an old-fashioned
touch about the school, too. At-
rtendance will be compulsory for
tnose errant drivers Judge Barber
decides should become students.

Comic Books
'Not So Bad'
EAST LANSING. Mich. tPt
A Michigan State College profes
sor who spent six months reading
comic books concludes, "they're
not so bad."
Dr. Morton Malter, assistant
professor of education, read
through 10,440 pages of 18S comic
books as part of a research project.
His report:
"General attacks on comic mag
azines are unwarranted. It is not
true that they are dominated by
crime, sex and violence ... 90 per
cent of them would be acceptable
for publication in newspapers."
The professor said that by per
centages, adventure, animal antics
and western stories outnumber
love, detective and superman
stories. Adventure had the great
est single percentage 15.7, with
westerns second with 11.
"Good" comic books, the pro
fessor concluded, "greatly out
number the unacceptable ones."

proposed.
After the Communists sub
mitted their counterproposal at
Panmunjom at Wednesday's
two-hour truce session, Allied
negotiators tried to determine
whether the Reds contemplated
an Immediate or delayed with
drawal from a buffer zone to be
created along the present front.
At the close of the session Maj.
Gen. Henry I. Hodes, heading the
UN subcommittee, told the Red
delegates "we will present- you
with the necessary revisions to
clear up this proposal" at Thurs
day's meeting. It is set for 11 a.m.
(6 p.m. Wednesday PST).
At Panmunjom Nuckols said
there were traces of fundamental
differences between the Allied and
Red proposals. He said the Com
munist plan contained "rather
ambiguous and vague phrase
ology." But at a later briefing for
tne press in Munsan he said:
"I am more optimistic than I
have been lor some time past.
"The basic point at issue is
when the buffer zone will be
cleared of troops."
Under questioning of Hodes,
North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee
Song Cho said "the troops will
be withdrawn after the .agree;

' He did not say' whether he re
ferred to the cease-fire line pro
posal now before the subcommit
tees or to the final armistice
agreement. And. UN delegates did
not ask. They are expected to
clarify this Thursday.
Both sides agree fighting will
continue until a final armistice is
reached. But to insure this, the
UN command wants the agree
ment to say specifically troops
will not be withdrawn from the
proposed demilitarized area until
all truce terms are settled.
Indian Plane
Crash Kills 16
NEW DELHI, India (VP) Six
teen persons died Wednesday in
the crash of an Indian airliner at
Calcutta's Dum Dum Airport. The
17th person aboard was reported
in a serious condition.
The plane, operated by Deccan
Airways, was completing a flight
from New Delhi to Calcutta and
crashed as it came in for a land

gers and three crew members
aboard were killed. . A comunique

Sewage Plant
Site Selected
By Utility Board
Willamette River
Unanimous Choice
A site on Garden Way about
one-half mile west of Spring
field was picked for that city's
planned sewage disposal plant
by the Springfield Utility
Board Tuesday night.
With a . bare quorum of three
of the board's five members on
hand, the Garden Way site was
an unanimous choice. Voting for
it were board members Ed Starr
and Dean Stevens. Chairman J.
W. Boeshans presided.
Absent were D. W. Offley and
Don Peglow. Stevens said both
"seemed to be in accord" with se
lection of the chosen site.
Months of Controversy
Final selection of the site for
the proposed $430,000 Springfield
disposal plant followed months of
controversy.
In September, the utility board
went on record as opposing a pro
posed Springfield tie-in with Eu
gene's new disposal plant. From
that time on, argument has cen
tered about whether to locate the
plant on the Willamette or Mc
Kenzie river.
Investigated Site
A board committee investigated
the proposed sites and recom
mended the Willamette one as the
most economical. It is also more
feasible in terms of better service
for new housing developments
west of Springfield, Stevens said.
The site is located on property
owned by E. J. Rankin, who has
expressed a willingness to sell
land for the plant, it was stated.
Officially, the board passed a mo
tion that it "go on record as fa
voring the acquisition of the E.
J. Rankin property as the site for
the Springfield sewage disposal
plant."
Secondary Treatment
Sewage will be given primary
and seconday treatment when the
new plant is complete, according
to. Frank R. Brown, utility board
secretary. This Is. the "full treat
ment," Brown said. .,
After settling upon the disposal
plant site, the board discussed the
problem of easement for the sew
er line from the, city limits to the
plant. Tentative plans call for the
line to run along Garden Way.
It will be from two to five feet
underground.
Israeli Group
Admits Failure
PARIS (P) The United Na
tions Palestine conciliation com
mission announced Wednesday its
failure to settle Arab-Israeli dif
ferences. The commission said It had
called off the fruitless talks begun
here Aug. 10 because neither
party showed willingness to make
concessions.
The group made up of repre
sentatives of the United States,
France and Turkey now is draft
ing a report of its failure to the
General Assembly. It then will
be up to the assembly to decide
whether the commission should
be liquidated or continue in exis
tence. All attempts of the commission
to get the two sides to accept num
erous compromise plans for a
peace treaty have failed since the
group first met in Jerusalem in
February, 1949.
TV for Eugene Next Spring?
Radiomen Take Dim View
By JAMES G. WELCH
Rerllter-Qaard SUff Writer
The Federal Communications
Commission this week gave some
old answers to an old question:
When will Lane County and Ore
gon get TV?
However, some of the answers
were apparently old only to appli
cants for TV permits and others
"on the inside."
The FCC released a list of "ten
tative" channel assignments for
Oregon which will probably be
available to applicants when the
TV freeze is thawed next Febru
ary. Seven Cities On List
On the list are standard chan
nels for seven Oregon cities: four
for Portland, two for Medford, and
one each for Eugene, Corvallis,
Klamath Falls, La Grande and
Salem. One Portland channel and
those at Eugene and Corvallis
would be reserved for education
al institutions. Eugene's lone chan
nel would probably go to. the Uni
versity of Oregon.
Th s tentative proposal ny tne
FCC to leave Eugene without a
standard TV outlet for a commer
cial station has been the subject of
a complaint by two Eugene radio
station operators.
In addition, this week's sum
mary of the TV situation lists
the probable opening of 20 UHF
ultra-high frequency television
channels in the state come Febru
ary. There would be two each for
Eugene, Portland and Salem, and
one each for Albany, Ashland, As
toria, Baker, Bend, Burns, Corval
lis, Grants Pass, Lebanon, Mc
Minnville, North Bend, Roseburg,
Springfield and The Dalles. Only
one of these one of Salem's
would be educational.
It would seem then, that as soon
after February as licenses can be
approved and stations built, the
area would have talking pictures
in many a parlor.
But Eugene's radio station op
erators think otherwise.
UHF Experimental
UHF television is still in the ex
tat tace. It is known that
it doesn't have quite the range of
VHr (very nign irequency, II,
but that it is more insensitive to
"ghosts" caused by electrical in
terference. ,Hj it (t alsn established that
UHF stations are much more cost
ly to build and operate, manuiac
, . -ajmBta rnnRtruction and
v-1 - -
equipment costs at a quarter to
half million dollars per station and
say it would cost about S100,000 a
year to operate one.
Dual Frequency Costs More
Standard TV receivers now In
use would not pick up UHF sig
nals, and converters cost from SIS
to $50. Beginning to appear on
the market now, however, are
dual-frequency sets which would
receive standard TV and UHF.
They cost slightly more.
But another disadvantage to
UHF which local radiomen be
lieve may keep Hopalong and
wrestling out of Lane County
homes is the questionmark con
cerning equipment.
Because UHF is new, it is not
certain that practical equipment
can be purchased now.
Why is the FCC trying to push
this expensive, and as yet, uncer
tain type of TV off on the state?
The main reason is that the chan
nels available in the very high
frequency ranges are pretty well
filled and another frequency area
must be opened.
Locally, it adds up to a fairly
long, indefinite wait unless the
tentative plans are changed and
Eugene is assigned one of the very
few remaining regular channel!,

THIS BUG, A DISTANT COUSIN of Lane County's spruce budworm, is 32-fect long. He

augurate the Christmas shopping season in Eugene. Marching down Willamette St. with
him at 9:30 a.m. will be 33 other balloons, 11 bands, two floats, drum majorettes and two
color guards.
Court Defends Own Action

Reds Challenge
Air Superiority
WASHINGTON (P) Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg said Wednesday
the allies' "complete air superior
ity over Korea is now being ser
iously challenged by the Migs but
so far the situation is in hand.
The Air Force chief of staff told
a long and grim news conference
that possible "serious potentials"
exist. Among these he listed the
f.act that "overnight China has be
come one of the major air powers
of the world."
Vandenberg added ' that the
Peiping regime obviously has at
tained that status "as the direct
beneficiary of another power pos
sessing the essential industrial
and technical resources that 'Com
munist China itself lacks."
. He did not mention Russia by
name.
Vandenberg, just back from the
Korean War front, also said:
"Under the ground rules estab
lished at the outset of the Korean
War, it is impossible for us to gain
air supremacy" because "for rea
sons that we all understand, we
have followed a policy of not at
tacking the strongholds of enemy
air power directly across the
Yalu River in Manchuria."
King Cleared
In Tax Inquiry
WASHINGTON (T) A House
investigating committee declared
Wednesday there is no foundation
for rumors that its chairman, Rep.
King (D-Cal), intervened in three
southern California tax cases.
Rep. Combs (D-Tcx), acting
chairman of a House ways and
means sub-committee which has
been looking into irregularities in
the Internal Revenue Bureau,
handed newsmen a statement say
ing: .
"The subcommittee has unani
mously concluded that the rumors
concerning actual or attempted in
tervention by Representative King
in these matters are completely
without foundation."
The subcommittee has held
closed door hearings the past two
days on the rumors.
Most Schools to Have

The annual two-day school holi

areas.
Most county schools will aisn

of them. A few districts plan to
hold classes Friday. All wil) be
dismissed Thursday.
week-long sessions of county of
ficials in Portland. However he
issued this written, signed state
ment of his views on the matter:
"The Lane County Court Is
following a concept of democ
racy to the effect that the ma
jority should not take undue ad
vantage of the minority or even
of individuals. When an area is
zoned for the first time, great
care should be exercised not to
needlessly take vested property
value from any Individuals.
"The court attended two public
hearings and carefully considered
many phone calls and personal
appearances. Just as our circuit
judges are required, before passing
sentence, to ask if the loser has
anything further to say, we asked
to hear from those, if any, who
were dissatisfied with the way
their property was being zoned
"Letters were received from all
but one of the owners whose prop
erty was affected by the court s
recommendation. We considered
their requests just, and we think
any other zoning would be tak
ing property without Just com
pensation. These individuals had
Invested in property near a rail
road track and were entitled to
be protected In their judgment
that any future zoning would
apply the principle of the natural
use of the property by a railroad
track. Those who have foresight
should not suffer because of lack
of foresight by others."
The two county commissioners
concurred generally with Bayly's
views.
Commissioner Robert Maclay
had this to say on the matter:
"We saw modifications which
could be made which would bet
ter meet the public need. We
fully intend to sign some zoning
ordinance. Our recommendations

will meet the public need better
than the plan first broached."
These were Commissioner Lee
Raish's views on the problem:
"We are goint, to plan for the
benefit of the whole of Lane
County, not just for the benefit
of a few people. That's what I
call planning, not just this spot

time he had in his office signed

By JACK BELL
AMftrlKttd Prrti stitr Wrller
WASHINGTON (P) Pres
ident Truman, In a speech remin
iscent of his 1948 "give 'cm hell"
style, declared Tuesday night that
the Democrats won't take lying
down the "lies and smears" he
said he anticipates from Repub
licans and "special Interests" in
the 1952 presidential campaign.
Mr. Truman told an audience of
party members here he thinks
more money will be spent "in try
ing to defeat the Democratic Par
ty next year than has ever before
been spent in any election in the
I history of the country."
Charge 'Corruption'
This brought from Republicans
more "corruption" charges. Mr.
Truman did not mention in his
speech any of the charges' of
wrongdoing which have been al
leged against his administration.
His declaration that "the truth
and the facts arc on our side"
brought a retort from Sen. Rob
ert A Taft (R-Ohlo) that "Presi
dent Truman should certainly get
the prize for political effrontery"
for his speech.
Guy G. Gabrlelson, chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee, said Mr. Truman had "a flash
of realism" when he said "A mis
take in a presidential election can
cause the country untold harm."
'Disgusted, Alarmed'
"The reminder isn't necessary
for millions of Americans," Gab
rielson said. "They are disgusted
and alarmed at the high taxes,
high prices, corruption, crises and
war of his incompetent adminis
tration. They won't make the mis
take again."
Without naming the senator,
Mr. Truman singled out Taft with
the assertion that "special inter
ests" had poured money into Ohio
last year to reelect '.he Republican.
Taft, an avowed candidate for
his party's presidential nomina
tion, said in a statement in Cin
cinnati that "it is the Truman
Party which is the beneficiary of
the money of special interests and
of millions of dollars of the tax
payers' money used for political
propaganda . . . ."
Tnft said the CIO and AFL had
undertaken to raise $30,000,000
rom union members "to purge
all Republicans from Congress."
He laid Republicans legitimately
spent money to meet this attack,
adding:
"If Mr. Truman can ever re
ceive 70,000 completely volun
tary and unsolicited contributions
of $1 each, as I did in 1050, his
talk about special interests would
not ring so false."
Mr, Trumnn, who planned to
return Wednesday to Key West,
Fla., to resume his Interrupted
vacation, outlined for his party
at a banquet of the National Wo
men j Democratic Club Tuesday
night the kind of a campaign
he said it must make next year.
He pictured It as a slugging
battle against well-heeled Repub
licans who could be expected to
put on a "dirty smear campaign."
I do not expect the Demo
cratic Party to take that kind of
attack lying down," he declared
as listeners applauded. ,
"I don't expect my party to
run away from a fight," he said,
adding: "It never did and it never
will."
The Prcsldcnet left up in the
air the question whether he will
run again. But he seemed to in
dicate that if he doesn't he fully
expects to have the determining
voice in naming the Democratla
nominee.
