Baldock Tells
Of Bottlenecks
Portland, Ore., May 16 U.R
The Oregon state highway com
mission today opened spring
sessions to map out the state's
highway program for the next
two years.
A morning sesion, however,
adjourned without getting to the
more important matters on the
commission's agenda. State
Parks Superintendent Sam
Boardman reported on the ac
quisition of various small tract
of land throughout the state
and commissioners approved
sale of a portion of block 61,
Dennis addition to Coos Bay, to
the W. J. Conrad Lumber Co.
Cons Bay, for S 1,000.
During the afternoon mem
ber! were to hear reports on re
sults of bid takings May 11 at
Salem for the sale of three boats
at the Astoria-Megler ferry ter
minal. They also were to dis
cuss changes to be made in the
1949-50 budget because of new
legislation and action by the
ways and means committee.
Among other matters to be
studied by the commission will
be expansion of Pacific highway
to four lanes from Portland to
Eugene.
State Highway Engineer Bal
dock said the two-lane stretch
between New Era and Eugene
constitutes a traffic bottleneck.
He declared that a two-lane road
should not carry more than 5.
000 to 6.000 cars a day, yet on
the Pacific highway a mile
north of Eugene, the daily count
reaches from 11.000 to 15,000.
HiRhway commissioners, who
usually meet for two days,
have indicated the current ses
sion may be extended to three
or four days.

Speech Upheld
Discord
supreme court iplit 8 lo 4 today
its doctrinaire logic with a little
practical wisdom it will convert
the constitutional bill of rights
into a suicide pact
The case involved a $100 -fine
imposed on Arthur Terminiello
for a speech he delivered In the
Chicago auditorium Feb. 7, 1946
Terminiello appealed from an
Illinois supreme court decision
upholding his conviction on
disorderly conduct charge. The
Illinois court said he made "wild
intemperate and . inflammatory
utterances" which "tended to
incite to violence against the
angry mob outside."
Justice Douglas delivered to
day's majority decision. Chief
Justice Vinson wrote a dis
senting opinion. Justice Frank
furter also wrote a dissenting
opinion in which Justice Jack
son and Burton concurred. Jack
son also wrote a separate dis
senting opinion in which Justice
Burton joined.
The record in the case showed
Terminiello had been invited to
address the Chicago meeting by
Gerald L. K. Smith. His speech
the high tribunal was told
preached hatred of the new deal
and of Jews, contempt for Eng
land and charged Mrs. Franklin
D Roosevelt "with being a com
munist."
Jackson said Terminiello had
been advertised in advance of his
speech as a Roman Catholic
priest of Birmingham, Ala. But
the jurist noted that the trial
brought out he was under sus
pension by his bishop.
In his majority opinion in the'
Terminiello case, Douglas de
clared that "a function of free
speech under our system of gov
ernment is to invite dispute."
"It may Indeed best serve its
high purpose when it induces
a condition of unrest, creates dis
satisfaction with conditions as
they are, or even stirs people to
anger," Douglas added
Jackson, however, declared
that Termininello's victory to
day "certainly fulfills the most
extravagant hopes of both right
and left totalitarian groups, who
want nothing so much as to par
alyze and discredit the only dem
ocratic authority that can curb
them in their battle for the
streets."
Jackson continued:
"We must bear in mind that
no serious outbreak of mob vi
olence, race rioting, lynching or
public disorder Is likely to get
going without help of some
speech-making to some mass peo
ple." Mrs. Cushing's

Federal Bond
Drive Explained
The "Oppor t u n 1 1 y Bond
Drive," inaugurated Monday by
the federal government is in
continuance of the policy of the
treasury department to reduce
the amount of securities held by
the banks and spread them over
a wider base among the individ
uals. With this explanation Al
bert Bauer, president of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
and general manager of Consoli
date Builders, Inc., launched into
an address during Monday's
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
concerning the present campaign
that will run for approximately
six weeks.
A quota of approximately
$500,000 has been given Marion
county in connection with the
compaign which will be directed
locally by Sidney L. Stevens.
Bonds in the hands of individ
uals means greater security for
the general public, said Bauer.

He added that the money thus!
accumulated provides a cushion
for the fluctuations in business
and industry.
Contrary to predictions made
several years ago, cashing in of
bonds did not materialize to any
great extent following the war.
In fact, individuals now hold $33
billion dollars worth of securi
ties in contrast to $30 billion four
years ago.
Bauer said people of Oregon
hold $500,000,000 in E bonds
now with an interest return of
$14,000,000 annually. Marion
county holds $24,000,000 of the
federal securities.
