Junior Chamber Hears Talk By Truck Spokesman The Oregon trucking industry desires a prepaid system of tax es that, will eliminate tax evasion by a large segment of the Indus try, and Jstlll . raise as much or more' revenue as produced by the present weight-mile method. This was the argument advanc ed yesterday noon by Bert Trask, vice-president: of the Oregon High way Council, in an address at the Junior Chamber of Commerce luncheon, held at the Pine Tav ern. He challenged statements that the trucking industry, through use of the Oregon initiative and referendum, is seeking to evade a just share of the tax burden. "The economy of Oregon de pends in a large measure on trucks, which have enabled towns to spring up anywhere, regard less of railroad connections," Trask remarked: "Without truck service, the people of Oregon would pay much higher freight rates, and would have much poor er service.

Fease devoted much of his off-duty time and spent considerable of his own money in getting the project started. The Pal club now is an estab lished institution in Portland, and similar clubs have been formed under the guidance of Pease in some other Oregon cities. Each year Pease takes his troupe of young tumblers, trapeze artists, trampoline performers and other specialists including "Dumbo." the clown, on a tour that includes visits to many Oregon communi ties.

International Harvester Hit By New Strike (By United Pran) A strike by some 25.000 Inter national Harvester Co.

President i With 'Middle Road' Urged by Ike In Boise Speech; Says Other Roads Lead Only to Tyranny' KANSAS CITY, Kan. Aug. 21 UE Dwight D. Eisen hower came here Thursday to confer with 160 Renuhlu-nn office-seekers from seven states, after a political speech in wnicn ne cuweu ior uie type oi government, mat is the servant of its citizens rather than their master. The GOP presidential candidate said at Boise, Idaho, Wed ; tnesday night in his first Police fo Arrest Violators of New Traffic Signals City police will start maklne arrests Friday, August 22, for violations of traffic signals at the intersection of Wall street and Franklin avenue. This date was selected by H. A. Casiday, chief of police, in order to get the sit uation well under control before the opening day school rush. Casiday conceded today that there have been several com plaints to the police department concerning the traffic signals, in stalled July 23. "The signals appear confusing to some persons because of three different types of lights in the one intersection," Casiday ex plained. "Persons who have fa miliarized themselves with -these lights now are getting through tne intersection at greater speed than do those who do not under stand them. Therefore, if an ac cident does happen it could be much more serious than probably would be the case were there no traffic lights at all. It is because of this fact that we shall have to arrest violators." Casiday again called attention to the state law which reads: "A right hand turn is permitted on a red light, from the right-hand lane only, after stopping, but caution should be used as the right-of-way may not be clear." Some persons still are holding up traffic In right-hand lanes un til signals change, because they are unfamiliar with this law, the chief declared. Another feature of the traffic signals causing some confusion is the arrow arrangement, in which three green arrows alter nately flash direction signals. Chief Casiday pointed out that when both the inner and outer lanes traveling south on Wall, at Franklin, are stopped by a red light, the right hand lane for straight ahead and right turns show the green arrows 18 seconds before the center arrow allowing a left hand turn is lighted. There fore, the left hand lane is not allowed to move as soon as the right hand lane." Casiday Indicated that the state highway department may make minor changes in timing of the signal lights, in the near future. TRUCK STOLEN GREENSBORO, N. C, Aug. 21 (IP) Police Thursday charged an 11-year-old boy with stealing a truck in Danville, Va., and driv ing It here, although he barely could reach the foot pedals.

Don Blanding Saying 'Aloha' To People of Central Oregon Don Blanding, who Interrupted his vagabonding and "came home" to Bend a year ago, is saying "Aloha" to Central Oregon again, for an Indefinite Interval. He Is leaving on a Pacific cruise to vis it the fabulous "islands beyond yesterday,' In the Microneslan group just this side of the Phil ippines. Blanding, author of "Vagabond's House" and other books of poe try, said that he will make the trip "with sketching material and sketchy wardrobe, a camera, the New Testament, faith and a straw hat." He will leave Friday for Port land, and will fly Sunday mid night, Aug. 24, to Honolulu, where he lived for several years. It has been said that his poems about the islands did for the Ter ritory of Hawaii what Robert Sa Own avowed political address it would be necessary to travel the "middle road" back to government ot, for and by the people. ' "The great problem of America today is to take the straight road down the middle, the path of progress that will never allow tyranny to become the feature of American government," Eisenhow er said. Knme Destination Eisenhower said he chose to travel the "middle road" because the oilier alternatives, the left and right, eventually lead to the same destination "tyranny."

"I should like to pledge to you that all my efforts will be to see that government will- not become complacent and arrogant, but that it will be a partner and servant of the people," Eisenhower said. The general spoke extempora neously, discarding a prepared speech' In which he hafl accused the Democratic administration of attempting to maintain its power with "new names and faces." Instead of using these words, he said "we have had for a long time a government that applies the phil osophy of the left to government." Too Much Power "The -government will build a power, the government will tell you how to distribute your power, the government will do this and that. The government does every thing but come In and wash the dishes for tho housewife." Eisenhower went to llolse to talk politics with Republican gov ernors of nine Western states. The governors, Elsenhower said, wcro "men of Ideas." Eisenhower's arrival here was delayed one hour and 20 minutes. His chartered DC-6B airliner droned over Fairfax Airport at 1:15 a.m. CST in a heavy rain storm. The pilot circled the field until 2:35 a.m. A crowd of 300 rainsoaked admirers at the airport stood by patiently. Elsenhower appeared undis turbed by the delay when he stepped from the plane. Nor did he seem ruffled at Cheyenne, Wyo., when gasoline fumes from one of the plane engines caught fire and burned briefly. No damage was done.

"Mv address will be Islands Be yond Yesterday. Pacific Coast un limited, care of the trade winds." said Blanding. "But since that is a very un-anchored address. It would be for thought waves only." He added, "I'll know how long I'm going to be gone when I get back."

Target of Commission Probe Censorship of so-called "comic" books sold in, Bend was considered at last niffht's city commission meeting and after considerable discussion, commissioners authorized an inves tigation by the city manager and the youth counselor. The discussion was prompted by Commissioner E. L. Nielsen, who complained that many comic books being sold on Bend newsstands glorify sex and crime and are not lit reading material for tho city's young. He reported that a boy and girl committee of the Iiend Kiwanis club is studying the situ ation and that action by other Hend groups is contemplated. George J. Turner, youth coun selor, said that many of the comic books he had sucn were "definitely harmful" and announced that he was in sympathy with any moves to remove them from circulation. Censorship Dangers Commissioners ugreed that 1 h e question of censorship raised cer tain questions relating to freedom of the press and indicated that the best solution would be a volun tary censorship by distributors of magazines in the area. Commis sioner Richard -Brundis, a drug gist, told of the difficulties he had encountered in keeping questionable material from his newsstand and declared that "the only way to stop It is to see that the stuff doesn't get Into town," ' At the suggestion of Brandls, the commission instructed the city manager and the youth counselor to meet with the local distributors in an effort to arrange a satisfac tory solution. If unsuccessful in this attempt, commissioners in dicated they would study other means, including censorship legis lation. Among other business, commis sioners unanimously accepted a re port from the planning commission recommending that no change he made in the zoning requirement that restricts building to 35 per cent of the area of a lot In rcsl (Continued on Page 'ti Puffing Brings Firemen Huffing Cieam puffs puffed and the Bend fire department huffed and puffed and pretty soon the smoke had cleared away at the William Nis knnen home, 525 Broadway, this morning.

Forgery Suspect Sought in State Police and sheriff's officers throughout the state have been alerted by Sheriff Claude L.
