nine cars of a Chesapeake & Ohio
freight train were derailed here
Sunday night as a pickup truck
whammed into the middle of it at
1 crossing.
Box cars were scattered all over
this town of ISO population.
Three teen-age occupants of the
truck were hurt, none critically,
The train srew escaped.
THE TRUCK hit the train at a
crossing a mile north of town, but
the heavy train dragged the pick
up into town before the train
started falling apart and tumbling
box cars in all directions.
A warehouse was wrecked and
two other commercial buildings
damaged.
Power lines feeding the town's
electric system were felled, but
no. fires broke out.

anjong the jumble of wreckage in
the town itself, but a fireman said:
"God only knowswhat we'll find
n"daylight.
A one story brick warehouse
along the tracks was demolished.
Two others were damaged. As
many as six cars piled one on top
of 'the other at one spot.

whole town. Fallen pqwer lines
Y'ijre a hazard to the wandering
curious, some in ; pajamas and
dressing gowns.

ing lights on a big map of the
United States illustrate how
life starts and stops in this
country.
The map is in the lobby of
the Department of Commerce
Building. The lights give a
theatrical picture of the nation's-steadily
increasing popu
lation. Every nine seconds a sort of
bluish light lights up. Another
baby has been born.
Every 21 seconds a purplish
kind of light blinks on and off.
someone has died.
Another blinking light, which
comes on every two minutes,
shows that another immigrant
has arrived.
Every 17 minutes still another
light shows that someone has
left this country.
Every 13 seconds a bright
white light goes on. That means
the U. S. population has just
had a net gain of one.
At the same time a sort of
population speedometer across
the top of the map turns an
other notch so that, in theory,
you can get the exact popula
tion of the U. S. at any given
moment.
Like any other gadget, this
huge pinball machine has its
troubles.
The other day, for instance,
people kept on being born but
death took a holiday. The
lights showed nobody was dy

soon was righted.

Oakridge Man
Cited for Crash
OAKRIDGE George McAttee
of Willamette City was cited for
basic rule violation Saturday, May
17, at 11:55 a.m., by state police,
after his car collided with a sedan
driven by Francis Hayford, of
Oakridge. Extensive damage was
done to Hayford s car.
McAttee is to appear in justice
court at Oakridge Monday, May
26, 7 p.m.. ,
State police report they were
called to Wicopee station, on the
Southern Pacific Railroad about
20 miles above Oakridge, to quell
a. disturbance by two drunks. The
pair was thought to have dropped
off a freight train at Wicopee, ex
pecting to walk up the trail to
Fraser Station, where they are em
ployed by Southern Pacific. They
had been noisy for .several hours
after midnight.
They were given a choice of go
ing to the county jail or going
home. They went home.
in America when there are many
people who can't afford a law
yer "
That question sums up the stand
of Charles O. Porter, a Eugene
attorney, who is trying to set up
a plan for free lawyer service in
Lane County.
Porter said in an interview last
week that the plan isn't a new
idea. At least 100 major American
cities now have legal aid societies
such as he is trying to get for Eugene.
Many Eugene attorneys are op
posed to the idea. They claim it
is too expensive to set up, and that
the time involved .in the program
wouldn't justify the number of
people who would benefit by it.
Porter, who has a broad back
ground in legal aid work, claims
that local interference is based on
the lawyers' ignorance of the plan.
THEY'RE AFRAID it'll take
away their business. Actually it'll
help them, and will be good pub
lic relations, which is something
our profession needs," he explained.
Attorney George T. Langford
said he feels there is no need for
it in Lane County. "However, the
only way to really find out would
be to set it up," he added. Lang-
ford pointed out that the plan has
been talked of here, "probably as
long as there's been a bar in Oregon."
It wasn't until Porter arrived
in January, with experience in the
program, that any effort was
made to set up a local legal aid
society.
Neither the proponents nor the
opposition look on it as k sociali
zation of the legal profession.
"It s a trend toward social ends,
but not a socialistic state." Porter
said. "The inability of several Am
ericans to afford legal aid is an
argument that the communists
have made a lot of use of," he
added.
THE PROGRAM consists of two
parts, the lawyer referral plan
to interview applicants and assign
attorneys to them and the legal
aid itself the free service of the
attorney.
H. V. Johnson, president of the
Lane County Bar Assn. six weeks
ago appointed a committee to in
vestigate the plan and present its
proposals to the group. The com
mittee members, Jack Lively, of
Springfield, and A. T. Goodwin
and Porter, both of Eugene, pre
sented a mimeographed outline of
the plan at a meeting May 6. Por
ter will explain the plan in more
detail at a meeting next week.
"We'd like to get this going so
there won't be a national surge
tor it, as with socialized medicine.
There's a bill before congress now
legal
services. ' Porter said.
If Legal Aid is accepte'd by the
Lane County Bar association, an
office will be set up to interview
applicants for the service.
"There will be a $5 interview
fee, which is all they'll have to
pay. And we'll waive that if they
can't afford it," Porter explained.
EACH ATTORNEY would spend
a few hours each week .at the of
fice on a rotation schedule. The
office would be open from 5 to 7
p.m. during weekdays. '
Applicants who have cases
would be assigned ah attorney
who can handle the case as he
wishes, without interference from
the society.
Porter pointed out that' the so
ciety would accept no divorce or
bankruptcy . cases, where a fee
can be obtained.
"If the program is accepted here,
we might eventually get assistance
from the University of Oregon
law school. It would be good ex
perience for the lawyers about to
graduate," Porter said.
Porter has confidence in the
success of a Lane County Legal
Aid Society, but said there's
enough professional opposition to
hold up the plan.

"raise the flag of Jesus Christ."
"We can never stop communism
with the atom bomb and we can't
buy the friendship of other coun
tries with dollar bills," he said.
"We must have a crusade . . , We
need a revival in America to put
the teachings of Christ into prac
tice every day.
"If there was ever an hour in
American history when we need
to fall on our knees in prayer and
come to God, it is now," he said
