Overloaded Trucks Must Jettison Cargo on Road The state highway commission announced today that state po lice would require overloaded logging and commercial trucks to pull off the highways and that overloads would be removed. Furthermore, the commission will report violations to the of fice of price administration, which will subject the viola tors to reduced gasoline allot ments and might prevent them from getting new tires. The new policy was decided at a conference Tuesday of rep resentatives of the highway commission, state police, public utilities commissioner, Gover nor Snell, and the offices of price administration and defense transportation. In the past, the commission has reported violations to the public utilities commissioner for cancellation of permits, while small fines were im posed by justices of the peace. Fines Not Enough The fines, the commission said, are no deterrent, while cancellation of permits has im posed penalties which are too severe. The commission cited cases where an entire fleet of trucks was suspended merely because one of the trucks had been overloaded. Some truckers are persistent and chronic violators of the weight limits, but 85 percent of ' them are cooperating, the com mission said, The commission, pointing out that the legislature boosted the weight limits from 54,000 to 71, 000 pounds and the length lim its from 50 to 60 feet, for the duration of the war, said: "The commission feels that In granting this additional privi lege, the commercial haulers must stay within the limits set forth and will likewise insist Vthat overloaded commercial trucks be stopped and required to take off the overload. "The commission feels that the overload problem must be solved if the state's highways are to last for the duration of the war and, after conferring with Washington authorities, knows it is giving as much or more cooperation with the truck op erators as its neighboring state is, The commission wants to do all in its power, in this wartime emergency affecting transporta tion, to expedite the movement of goods and services but fn not be unmindful of its duly to the citizens of this state in pro tecting the public's large invest ment in highways." Elda Russell Offers Plan Elda Russell of Portland, su pervisor of the Oregon Protec tive society" and chairman of Gov. Earl Snell's juvenile delin quency committee, today sub mitted policy committee recom mendations for the governor's approval. The committee advised it would serve as a clearing house for juvenile problems and would Why Thousands of Doctors nave Prescribed Pertussin 'cooperate with existing agen cies, not replace them. It recom mended each community be en couraged to coordinate activi ties of its local organizations. It also recommended appoint ment of a field secretary and suggested all Oregon counties obtain juvenile consultants to provide counsel and guidance. The committee urged all coun ties enforce a 1940 act which requires separate custody for ju venile wrongdoers. .

Robert Olson, 469 North Winter, who is with the United States merchant marine and who has sailed widely in the South Pacific, is home for a time, and has with him interesting copies of newspapers published in that part of the world, particularly Australia and New Zealand. The Dominion, published at Wellington, New Zealand, is a large and no doubt prosperous newspaper, but a quaint one compared with American pa pers. For example, the first, second and third pages are en tirely advertising, classifieds on the first two. Other than ads the first matter the reader finds is the editorial. News of lesser imporatnee, mainly local, is on the editorial page. On page five you begin to run into the war news, with a good many la bel heads that were old-fashioned in this country 40 years ago, like "Greatest Dual Onslaught" and "Weary and Below Strength" no verbs or implica tion of verbs. Pagc3 arc eight columns, but wider than Ameri can sheets. The Sun, published in Mel bourne, is tabloid size and in ap pearance much the same as tab loids in this country. It claims the largest net sale in Australia 287,497. Guinea Gold is in American and Australian editions, and published "In the Field." It is largely war news, and news about men in the service. The Tribune-Herald, publish ed at Hilo. Hawaii, is, of course, typically American in style and content. For .
