An Appeal to the City Council
There need be no delay in the city council's final and
binding action on the Baldock traffic plan. Approval of
the general outlines of the plan should come at Monday
night's meeting.
The latest reason given for a delay is to study effects of
proposals made by the capital planning commission. The
commission, created by the last legislature, has suggested
the closing of street sections in the capitol group area.
This would call for a minor adjustment in one of the
phases of the Baldock plan. The commission's power,
however, is limited to suggesting only.
But a delay over this is not necessary.
The Baldock nlan is a broad, basic program, backed by
state funds, to "alleviate congestion, decrease hazard and
expedite traffic flow" in Salem. It is a long-range pro
gram, calling for the eventual expenditure by the state of
$7,600,000.
Any such program that will take many years to bring
about will inevitably call for minor adjustments from time
to time. The suggestions of the capitol planning commis
sion, if accepted, call for a slight adjustment in the traffic
plan. They don't amount to anything more than minor
rerouting in the capitol group area. A check with the
highway department shows that the suggestions could be
easily reconciled with the traffic pattern of the Baldock
plan.
The city has delayed long enough -in coming to a final
decision on this plan which Salem itself asked the state
highway commission for several years ago.
If the council shies away from a decision now because
of some adjustments suggested by the capitol planning
commission, there will be other reasons that might be
found for delay in the future. Other minor adjustments
are bound to be suggested from time to time as the years
roll by. But that's assuming that adjustments in the
traffic plan cannot be made. And that is not true. The Bal
dock plan is open to adjustment between the city and the
highway department when and if necessary. And the
highway department is right in Salem within easy call.
The basic facts look like this :
First, Salem wants and needs a traffic plan. It has been
offered an excellent one in the Baldock report, drawn up
after years of study by trained highway engineers who
live and work in Salem. The men who drew up the plan
know Salem well.
Secondly, where other cities gladly pay $60,000 or more
for such a plan, Salem is offered one without charge. And
with the plan are millions in funds of the highway com
mission to back up the plan commitments.
Thirdly, West Salem voted to merge with Salem partly
on the strength of this city's previous endorsement of the
general outline of the Baldock plan which calls for a new
bridge across the Willamette between the two cities at
Marion street. A new road will parallel Edgewater street
in West Salem, according to the plan.
Fourth, when the pattern for traffic flow is thus de
cided, then the highway commission can go ahead and
make commitments for a four-lnne highway north of the
city toward Portland. But the commission can't act until
Salem itself decides how it will handle its own traffic.
And so Salem can no longer put off a decision on the
Bnldock plan.
If the bridge across the Willamette Is to become a real
ity in any reasonable length of time, the plans must go on
the drawing boards soon or next year will pass by without
any action taken on that bridge.
Under the circumstances how can the council not act
Monday night?
The adjustments in the plan, as they arise, can and will
be worked out satisfactorily between both the highway
department and the city.
The people of Salem and West Salem appeal strenuously
to the council to act favorably on the traffic plan tonight
for the good of the Greater Salem area.
If Salem can't come to a decision now on the Baldock
plan, the best program yet suggested to ease traffic con
gestion, the city won't come to a decision for so many years
to come that a plan at that time will be too late.
Let Machines Do Our Thinking
Details of a giant brain machine that "does everything
but think" have been made public in Philadelphia by its
scientist inventors, J. Prosper Eckert, Jr., and John W.
Mauchly, who have named it "Binac" because it is an
automatic computer that uses the Binary numbering sys
tem. It is described as an intricate network of wires, vac
uum tubes, coils and electric devices that use electric im-
?ulses to add, subtract, play chess and even write music,
ts key part is a memory unit, mercury filled tubes that
store as many as 512 numbers translated into electrical
Impulses and use them in all kinds of mathematical exer
cises. Binac is the second such device to be produced by the
Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corp. The first, known as the
Eniac, was designed to help the U. S. government solve en
gineering and production problems during World War II.
It was a top secret. It weighs 80 tons and costs $ 500,00y
Binac weighs less than a ton and the inventors say it is
faster, more accmurate and more versatile than Eniac.
The Binac inventors are hopeful of developing a machine
that can think. That will soon be a necessity if civilization
is to be preserved. The present trend is to make humans

POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER
Don't Laugh at Brooklyn
Shed a Tear for Big City
By EDCREAGH
rSubittltuttng for Columnist Hal Boylcl
New York, Aug. 22 OT Poor old Brooklyn. Nobody loves her.
Except, of course, her 2,910,000 sons and daughters.
And sometimes you can't help wondering about them.
Does that chest-thumping local pride mean that they really
love Brooklyn? Or are they merely going through the motions
of cherishing a
Basis for the proposed action
are two factors:
(1) Vaughan is not a civilian
employe of the White House. He
is a reserve officer on active
duty and draws pay (over $12,
000) from army funds. He is
therefore subject to army reg
ulations and rules of conduct the
same as any other active officer.
(2) By his own admission,
Vaughan has accepted gratuities
and gifts. This is in direct vio
lation of specific prohibitory
army regulation. In addition,
other charges made before the
senate committee lay him open
to disciplinary action on the
ground of "conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman."
What the senate investigators
have in mind is a formal de
mand that Vaughan be hailed
before a court-martial.
Such a demand, would put
President Truman on the spot.
It would be wholly up to
him to decide whether Vaughan
is tried. The president has im
mediate jurisdiction over
Vaughan, and no one in the
army would risk ordering him
court-martialed without presi
dential approval.
The senators are fully aware
of this. That's why their plan
has such a strong appeal for
them. Putting the president on
the spot is one of the primary
objectives.
However, other republican
senators are less enthusiastic.
One proposed a modification.
He suggested dropping the
court-martial demand and sub
stituting instead removal of
Vaughan as coordinator of vet
erans' affairs. The senator
pointed out that the claim could
be that Vaughan is "unfit" to
handle veteran affairs and the
president could be put directly
on the spot with millions of ex
servicemen. Another republican senator, a
party leader, was opposed to the
whole idea of taking any action
against Vaughan, unless the de
mocrats took the initiative. His
view was that it would be bet
ter G.O.P. strategy for Vaughan
to continue as a prominent mem
ber of the president's entourage.
In that position, he would be a
vulnerable target in next year's
elections.
"We could plaster the coun
try with billboards reading
'Have you got your freezer
yet!' " The republican leader
pointed out. "If we give Truman
the chance to get rid of Vaughan
he might take us up. I would if
I were in his place. We don't
want to outsmart ourselves in
this matter."
