Lane County Commissioners ; Wednesday received a letter from Rep. Edwin Durno, R-Ore., about the request. The county and other participating agencies are asking for a $174,000 grant ' under laws allowing federal par ticipation in purchase of open space for such purposes as parks. The original application was submitted in October of last year. In the meantime the agen cies have replied to requests for additional information about the project. Durno said in his letter that the Urban Renewal Administra tion has the application and that it hopes to reach a final deci sion on the application in two or three weeks. .If it is received, the $174,000 would equal about 30 per cent if the cost of land remaining to be purchased in the envi sioned SOO-acre park area, along the Willamette River between Eugene and Springfield.

Tickets will be on sale at Duncan Says (government Important to Individual "It's a great country in which to live, but we can't live in it for nothing." . This Will Rogers quotation was used as the theme of a talk given in Eugene Wednesday by Robert Duncan, Medford Demo crat seeking his party's nomina tion as fourth district Congres sional candidate. Speaking to the Eugene Lions Club at a regular noon lunch eon, Duncan disputed the theory that the individual is unimport ant in today's government. "People refer to the govern ment in the third person . . . as 'it,'" Duncan said. "But it's not an 'it' ... the government is you and me." He said people will get the kind of government they want and deserve, and that the government will reflect the characteristics of the general populace, both mean and no ble. "How many elections have been won or lost by only a sin gle vote per precinct?" Duncan asked to stress the point that the individual's vote is import ant. To demonstrate that govern ment is responsible to the will of the people Duncan cited ex amples from the three branches of government legislative. judicial, and administrative.

In the judiciary the candidate noted elaborately legal safe guards of individual rights, pre dicated on the philosophy that "it is better that 10 guilty men walk the streets free than one innocent man go to prison." In the administrative branch Duncan called attention to a Medford cobbler who some time I ago became concerned about the i poor quality of material used in shoes. Because of a campaign start ed by that cobbler, Duncan said, the Federal Trade Commis sion has now issued on order re quiring all shoe manufacturers to attach labels describing the quantity and quality of material in their products. City Tables Request For Right-of-Way Eugene City Council mem bers were reluctant Thursday to vacate a portion of street right-of-way so St. Francis High School can install lights for night football games. The request came from the Catholic Archdiocese of Port land, and was considered by council members meeting as a committee of the whole. The re quest sought the vacation of the right-of-way of 16th Avenue, east of Friendly Street. Attorney Bert McCoy said the area set aside for the right of way is needed for power poles to light up the high school foot ball field. He said the field would also be used for Eugene Boy's Athletic Assn. events. Several of the council mem bers said they thought it would be unwise to vacate the right-of-way, which is not now used for street purposes, until the city is sure it won't be needed in the future. Mayor Edwin E. Cone said the right-of-way might be need ed for a projected east-west Amazon Expressway. The coun cil committee tabled the request until city attorney Herman Hendershott can determine whether the city could let the school use the right-of-way un til such time as the city needs it In another matter, the com mittee authorized city manager Hugh McKinley to proceed with the acquisition of right-of-way to extend Washington Street from 27th Place to the Lorane highway. McKinley reported that the city had obtained op tions on four small parcels of land needed to extend the street. Scientist Convinced Life Exists Elsewhere in Space PROVIDENCE, R.I. on The huge Jodrell Bank radio observatory in England has never picked up what could be considered an intelligent signal from outer space, but it is very difficult to avoid the conclusion that intelligent beings exist somewhere in the universe, the observatory director ' said today. Sir Bernard Lovell, in this country to lecture at the Uni versity of Oregon, stopped off at Brown University to give a talk on the work being done with the largest steerable radio telescope in the world at Jodrell Bank. In an interview, he said he did not know whether anyone is trying to communicate with earth., but that on the basis of knowledge already gained it is difficult to avoid the con clusion that life exists in the universe. The British scientists predicted as things stand now that the Russians will beat the West to the moon. He be lieves a landing will be made between 1965 and 1970. Lovell will speak at the University of Oregon's Erb Student Union next Tuesday and Thursday at 8 p.m. Water, Electric Use Up, EWEB Reports The Eliepnn nrna i-nntiniiac to use more water and plpptri.

"I had no idea there were so many people interested in riding a train," commented Charles H. Corrigan, general manager of G-P railroads and waterways. The trips, each covering 35 miles from start to finish, were arranged to coincide with school spring vacation. Spokesmen for the lumber company and the railroad said that the number of passengers far exceeded expectations, mak ing it necessary to add two coaches on loan from the South ern Pacific and to increase the number of daily trips. . Most passengers were given refreshments, dispensed by the G-P mobile kitchen, usually used to serve fire-fighting crews. In all, hungry passengers con sumed 624 pounds of wieners, 5,240 buns, 2.800 half-pints of milk, and 3,000 soft drinks.
