Decision Due
On Money
For Property
$174,000 Asked
For North Bank Park
A decision on a request for
federal money to help buy land
for the North Bank Park may
be made in two or three weeks.
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.

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.

of Representatives in line with
what the people want, Duncan
stated.
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.

Train Ride
Georgia-Pacific's railroad at
Cottage Grove the Oregon Pa

normal operations after taking
6,700 school kids and adults on
round trips from Cottage Grove
to Culp Creek last week.
"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.
