(AP Wircphoto) I Battle Oyer Ban on Raw Milk Heard by Portland Council Portland, Ore., Feb. 15 (U.R) The Portland city council heard k buttle Tuesday over whether to ban raw milk. Dr.' Adolph Weinzirl, professor of public health and prevent ative medicine at the University of Oregon Medical school, told Jhe council that milk is a medium for growth of bacteria and therefore, could carry many lieases unless pasteurized. Nicholas . Granet, attorney Representing several raw milk dairies, presented a list of 200 jietitioners for raw milk, among whom, he said, were nany medical doctors, i VThe problem," Granet said, is not pasteurization or lack of It but clean cows and dairies." j Dr. W. H. Zazin , a pediatri cian, said it was "unthinkable to allow anything but pasteuriz-' id milk for children," but Low Mi Steen, president of the Ore- Jon farm bureau federation, op posed the ban on raw milk, pteen said passage of a proposed ordinance would destroy the Confidence of farmers in Port land as a market. Several Individuals testified Iheir doctors prescribed . raw ri i 1 k as necessary to their ealth. The Yamhill county court yesterday placed a 10,000 pound load limit upon all county roads. The court will not forecast the date when it could rescind its sharp cut from the previous 20, 000 pound limit. Action taken, to nave break up of highways, serves to halt school buses, milk pick-up trucks, oil trucks and feed deliveries. Yamhill county roads are in poor condition following the winter freeze and the court is confronted with an expense greater than last year when the damage to county roads was es timated at $500,000. The county received an $80,- 000 advance on its share of state gas tax money and with other available funds repaired gravel ed roads. The oiled roads suffer ed some damage last year but did not break up. Now, with the frost from two winters, they are weakening. Their repair is ex pected to be a major cost item this year.

Thirty- Portland Council Rejects Raw Milk Ban Portland, Feb. 15 (IP) The city council tossed out a propos ed ban on the sale of raw milk by a vote of 4 to 1 last night. The vote followed a day of discus sion in which dairymen opposed the plan. Dr. Thomas L. Leador, city health officer, said he had insti gated the proposal because of unsatisfactory sanitation practi ces. Commissioner Fred L Pe terson, who sponsored the ordi nance, said opponents of the ban wanted to go back to the "tin bucket days" of milk standards. Mayor Dorothy McCullough Lee joined Commissioners Ken neth L. Cooper, Ormond Bean and William A. Bowes in voting down the ban. The mayor said There are so many differences of opinion among doctors I would not wish to deprive those who' want raw milk from their enjoyment of the product." Agar Case Postponed Beverly Hills, Calif., Feb. 15 (U.R)The trial of Shirley Tem ple s ex-husband on drunk driv ing charges has been postponed until tomorrow. Actor John Agar, who was arrested Sunday night, was to appear in court yesterday but the case was re scheduled at his attorney's re quest.

Electronic devices and stress measurement machines deter mine the limitations of tomor row's planes and weapons before the lives of young men and the safety of America must be staked upon them. ervation. The group now is testing new jet fighters which can reach the jet fighters which can reacn maximum speeds approaching that of sound. It takes the planes and guns and bombs designed for Amer ica's first line air combat units, and finds out exactly what they will do. Then it decides how they can best be employed The veteran 3200th Isn't guided by rule books. It writes them. It took a 600-mile an hour jet fighter built for high altitude interception, and proved It was made to order for an Infantry support wea pon. So now the F-84 Thunderjet, packing 32 six-inch rockets, is a star of the postwar air force army team. It can literally pul verize pillboxes and tanks in front of advancing infantrymen. The 3200th is now testing the air force's two most powerful new planes the mighty B-36 intercontinental bomber and the B-45 Tornado jt bomber. It ' ould throw valuable light on Kit recent controversy over ability of the B-36 to carry out successful bombing raids under attack by postwar jet fighters. To get the answer to that ques tion, B-36 crews flew penetration missions against Eglin, striking day and night without warning. New jet fighters manned by crack air force pilots rose to head them off. The results remain secret, but they are available for- America's top military planners. Presum ably those findings high in the sky above the gulf coast will guide strategic use of the B-36, Every scientific tool useful in measuring the effeciency and stamina of future air force ma terial is available here. A giant climatic hangar generates sub zero blizzards in which newjures, Calahan said. The composite group from which the 3200th grew was born at Maxwell field, Ala., in 1939. The idea was sponsored by the late Gen. H. H. (Hap) Arnold. It has a proud record of achievment in developing the aerial might that won the sky war against Germany and Japan. During World War II it helped Jimmy Doolittle prepare for his famed Tokyo raid. It worked out the skip-bombing technique which hiked Japanese shipping losses. The testing unit developed the P-51 mustang into an efficient long-range escort, giving B-17 bombers protection-on raids deep into the Nazi heartland. It babied the B-29 superfort ress into readiness for the decis ive blows against the Japanese mainland that ended with atomic attack. The end of the war brought no breathing spell for the 3200th. Jet propulsion Is rev olutionizing the world's air forces. It's up to the Eglin group to see that America's air arm comes out on top in the revolution.

Mayor Figures People Are Honest Medina, O., Feb. 15 (U.R) John Brown, mayor of Medina, wants to let the conscience of the average motorist be his guide. The mayor has asked the city council to put up cash boxes at the street corners. Then if a motorist has overstayed his time beside a parking meter, he is supposed to figure out his own fine and drop it in the conscience box. Said Mayor Brown: "We may take a beating, but I doubt It. People are es sentially honest." The body was taken to the I Dallas pending funeral arrange- Henkle and Bollman mortuary inments.
