Campfire Permits
Effective on July 1, there will be a change in the
three-rule closure on the Deschutes national forest.
! One of the three rules,
ning on starting campfires in the forest to have permits,
is to be dropped. Still effective will be the rule banning
smoking while traveling and
;to carry shovel, bucket and axe.
; The campfire rule is being dropped on the local for
'.es. primarily because there have been too many appli
cants, and not enough available forest officers to make
;out the permits.
There was a time when forest officers or guards
were available at stations. That was the day before "walkie-talkies"
and car radios. Now through the day most for
esters are in the field.
Conscientious campers seeking permits hunt the for
esters and waste hours.
Another factor bearing on the decision to abandon
the fire permit requirement is that the practice has al
ready been given up in other forests, and no noticeable
increase in fires was noticed.
; There was a time when
.the campfire permit requirement helpful. They met the
;comparatively few campers
of good places to camp, fish
4hem in campfire technique.
; But those days are gone. Over the Memorial day holi
days here, for instance, some 10,000 persons visited one
district of the Deschutes woods. There will be an even
greater influx over the Fourth of July holidays.
Foresters can no longer
guests, or know where to find them in an emergency.
; Now the campfire permit rule is to be abandoned.
Campers will be on their own. They face an honor sys
tem test that will call for clean camps and fewer man
'caused fires.
Guard Encampment
There are two groups of Central Oregon residents
.which deserve special commendation at this time of the
year.
' The first group is made up of members of the local
companies of the Oregon National Guard, who arc giv
Jng up a couple of weeks of their time now in addition
f.o the drill time they spend during the year for their an
imal encampment.
J The second group is made up of the employers of the
members of the guard, who have given the young men
ihu time off they need to go to camp.
; Roth groups are making
lhe nation's defense setup.
TAose Thermometers
J There should be a law against them, some people
;believe. ,
J Wo refer to street thermometers, those instruments
which provide visitors with first impressions that are
not always favorable.
Recently when a Bulletin staff member made a sur
vey of some !i0 exposed thermometers in downtown Bend,
"ho found a temperature variation of 22 degrees.
Thermometers on sunny walls, generally the first to
iatch the attention of tourists, registered in the !)0's,
'with one reaching to !)G degrees. At the same time the of
ficial temperature here was 84 degrees.
Kxposed thermometers, especially those on sunny
jsides of buildings, do not provide the correct air temper
ature. However, they do lead some tourists to believe
that the heat is sweltering, and that eggs can be cooked
on the pavement.
We are sure most owners of the exposed thermomet
ers would like to have Bend recognized as a cool town on
the Deschutes, air conditioned nightly as the sun drops
behind the Cascades.
However, that recognition will be lacking as long
ins thermometers, some with their columns of mercury
Ibroken, are permitted to register the heal of the sun. not
that of the air.
What this part of the country needs is a good air
cooled thermometer.
Horse and Harry
(Orrflnn Statrgmau, Snlrm)
; The Democrat party's newest convert, Wayne Morse,
; introduced one of the party's congenital, dyed-in-the-wool
members, Harry Truman, in Portland Saturday night.
-Time was (l!M(i) when Morse stood on I In- floor of the
Semite and called Truman a "ham actor" when the lat
!ter as president was trying to stop a railroad strike. The
intervening period of course is long enough for Morse
; lo reverse his judgment on Truman. However the ('orval
;lis (Jazette-Times cites n later expression on the subject.
On May 0, 1052, recalls the G-T, Morse told a crowd of
sevorul hundred Republicans in Corvallis: "The creator
'didn't give him the ability lo deal with the problems he
'. has to deal w ith as president." The G-T adds:
"These remarks were brought forth while this
; Name Mir. Morse was praising a certain General I'.i
NPiihowcr and in particular comparing his superior
Jnlrtligcnrn with that of Mr. Truman."
Morse has become a real acrobat in (hanging bis
mind. So it is not surprising to have him laud Truman

Key Rulings Awaited from ICC
By I'KTKIC KDSON
WASHINGTON (NKAt
Should truck operators be denied
tiie rifiht to operate a freight-haul
inn service because the cities I hey
wish lo serve are already connect
ed by railroads? f
That is the key question in five
cases that have come before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in the last two years.
Two of these cases have been
settled in favor of the truckers af
ter original ICC recommendations
were reversed. I lie other three
cases are still pending on appeal.
In effect, ICC decisions favoring
the railroads in these cases would
carry out recommendations of
I 'resilient Kisenhower's Cabinet
Commit lee on Transportation. Hut
this would be done before these,
recommendations have been for
mally adopted as administration
policy and before sanction by con
gressional action.
American Trucking Associations,
Inc. is a federation of .V) state
and territorial organizations rep
resenting a majority of the 20,000
truck fleet operators in the U.S.
They have gone to hat for the
truckers in opposition to the rail
roads, i
ATA charges that ICC decisions
banning truck operations in these
eases would "foster railroad mo
nopoly" and protect the railroads
rrom "legitimate competition by
motor carriers."
In the first of these cases, Janu
ary, ICC demed the McCut-
lougb Transfer Co., of Youngslown.
Ohio, the right to transport hulk
emenl for the Kederal Portland
Cement Co. from Hamburg. N. Y.,
to four counties in Pennsylvania.
The reason given was that Hie area
wa s a 1 1 vady served by a sin n l -line
railway.
American Trucking Association's
attorneys tiled a petition of inter
vention, opposing the ICC decision.
ATA maintained that if this deci
sion were evtended In other similar
it might seriously threaten
the" entire interstate trucking in
ilustry.
ICC turned down the petition
ATA lau-yers then filed a bill of
complaint in U.S. District Court.

In the meantime, shortly after

new ruling. It said:
"Complaints or protests by asso
ciations of earners and freight for
warders against existing or new
rales, charges, fairs, rules, regu
lations or applications for ope1 mi

This mlmg would serve to de

"Ah, May I Make a Suggestion?"
to transport G. 1. Case harvester
thresher combines from the Case
plant at Burlington, la. Then the
ICC motor carrier division reversed
the finding. Diamond was allowed
to truck out the deliveries.
After this came throe truck line
application denials:
In January, 1955, Burns Motor
Freight of Marlington. V. Va.,
was denied permission to trans
port rough lumber to Ohio. Ken
tucy and Georgia. ICC ruli-d ex
isting rail services were adequate.
In March. ICC denied A. W.
Sehaeffer of Revillio. S.D., tlie
right to haul granite from South
Dakota to six slates and fixim Ver
mont to 16 states.
In May, International Trans
put. Inc., of Fiirgo, N.D., und
Kenofha (Wis.) Auto Transport
Corp. were denied authority to
truck farm tractors lo 'M states.
ICC grounds in these two cases,
treated as one, were that "rea
sonably adequate" rail services
were available.
These five cases have given the
U.S. trucking industry fears that
ttic ICC is assuming it has a duty
to protect the railroads from new
motor carrier competition.

Budget OK'd
By State Board
PORTLAND (UP) Members of
the State Board of Higher Educa
tion yesterday gave a stamp of ap
proval to a 1955-56 budget of $21,
902.060.
Of the sum, S15.-191.631 is for
campus instruction and $6,407,428
for services such as hospitals, clin
ics, agricultural research and ex
tent ion.
The instruction budget is based
on an expected enrollment increase
of .9 per cent throughout the sys
tem. It was reduced by the Legis
lature from what college presidents
had requested. Chancellor - elect
John Richards said if enrollment
climbs much higher, the board's
Si:i7,500 emergency fund will "dis
appear rapidly" and the governor
and department of finance will
have to be asked for emergency
funds.
A request for a five per cent in
crease to make salary adjustments
was cut to 3 ' per cent.' Presidents
had asked for 140 more teachers
to take care of rising enrollments.
They got 91. j
Distribution of money for salary j
increases was left to individual
schools. It was expected the com
posite average raise would be
altout SI20 a year.
The estimated 195,5-56 enrollment
and the instructional budget up-
proved included:
University of Oregon, jSOO stu
dents, S4.rci7.576; Oregon State
College. 5ti0n students. $5,557,072;
Medical School, 5X1 students.
$U55.un: Dental School 321 stu
dents. $5fi1,ZKS; Oregon College of
Education. 650 students, S59R,3Wt;
Southern Oregon, 750 students. $55,
675; Eastern Oregon. 550 students.
S45S.8S9; Portland State College.
2720 students. $7S1.39:i.
The board gave an OK to a cur
riculum for Portland State, but it
indicated it would not try to pro
vide parking for the downtown
school. The curriculum, like the
budget, got a pruning -from about
1500 course bouts to 1200.

at a comm ill ee-oM he-whole meet
