Camp Active
Early in Month
Camp Silver Creek, owned by
the 1 state and operated by the
park board and the Salem
YMCA, will be the scene of con
siderable activity during the La
bor Day week-end.
In explaining the program be
ing set up, Carl Greider, staff
member of the Y in charge of
membership and program plan
ning, stated that camping will
be on a family group basis and
folk dancing will be stressed.
The folk dancing part of the
program will be in the nature
of an attempt to co-ordinate the
activities of the various dance
clubs of the valley. A couple
from each one of these groups
have been invited to attend,
along with their families. Once
assembled they will discuss and
trade information concerning
their calling and dancing. In
this way it is hoped when larger
groups assemble during the win-
ter months, various dances will
be carried out without confu
sion.
The outing will include a pro
gram for the children of hikes
and campfire entertainment.

Fairgrounds
(Continued from Page 1)
The traffic check, made un
der the supervision of Mr. Cran
dall, covered a period of two
weeks, and was accomplished
both by automatic as well as
manual counters.
Wait Through Four Lights
During peak hour.., Crandall
said, it was not uncommon for
vehicles to be required to wait
through from two to four
changes of the traffic lights.
Cars were frequently moving
bumper to bumper. .
The practical working capa
city of a two-lane rural high
way is 5,000 vehicles, Baldock
pointed out. That represents the
point wherein there is unre
stricted free movement and
practically no congestion.
By the time this doubles to
10,000 vehicles, Baldock con
tinued, there is a noticeable lack
of free movement, a material
reduction in speed and a mark
ed congestion.
"High-speed rural highways
require long distances -between
vehicles: therefore they will
carry a lower number of
vehicles per day than the city
streets where the vehicles are
much closer together On Fair
grounds road the Vehicles are
almost bumper to bumper at
peak times.
Easier Downtown
"Between blocks in a city
about 15,000 vehicles can be
handled on a two lane street,
as a practical working capacity,
with minimum congestion" Bal
dock concluded. "This, however
drops to 9,000 or 10,000 vehicles
passing through the intersection
when signal control is used, and,
of course, signal control is nec
essary in order to permit cross
traffic to move at all.
"When 20,000 vehicles aver
age daily traffic is encountered
either at the intersection or at
mid-block movements, speeds
are low, congestion is marked,
and there is practically no free
movement of the vehicles."
Baldock said that any appre
ciable increase in the traffic at
this entrance point from High
way 99E into Salem, will be
virtually beyond handling.
Trainmen
(Continued: from Page 1)
Back from a week-end vaca

house. His comment on the rail
strike:
"As soon as I know what the
circumstances are, I'll tell you
what I'm going to do."
Eben Ayers, assistant White
House press secretary, told re
porters "there are no plans for
seizure at this time."
The trainmen and conductors,
asked for a 40-hour week with
out loss in the present 48-hour
pay for those in yard service,
have insisted that the president
take over the nations major
lines under an act of 1916. The
strike is scheduled to spread to

Fight For Atrocity Hill

By HAL BOYLE

paigns, one or more hills gain a
memorial gravestones for the men wno bled upon tneir slopes.
In war, you've got to control
There was hill 609 in Tunisia,
are due to walk out on the El
gin, Joliet and Eastern railroad,
Chicago, and the Pittsburgh and
Lake Erie line, Pittsburgh, to
morrow. After tnat, tne strute
may spread to a major line if
the dispute is not settled, a un
ion spokesman said:
If President Truman decides
not to take over the lines, he
could take these peace steps:
1. Call in the parties with a
personal appeal for them to get
the long dispute settled.
2. Direct the heads of rail
roads to meet with the union
presidents. (The unions claim
that so far they haven't had any
conferences with "top railroad
officials. )
The walkouts were ordered in
the face of a request from Presi
dent Truman that the terminals
keep working. The unions said
they would cancel the strikes
only if Mr. Truman seized all
the nation's railroads. There was
no indication he would do so at
this stage.

Now a new name can be ad
ded to this historic list "Atroc
ity hill," scene of a four-day
fight that ranks as one of the
bitterest of the Korean cam
paign. It was in a ravine of hor
ror on this hill that Red guards
executed with burp-gun fire
36 bound American prison
ers. This massacre gave the hill
its nickname on the map it is
marked only as hill number
303 and that is probably the
thing those who fought there
will remember most about it.
That and the heat and the
stench of death under a blaz
ing sun.
But the lasting importance of
the battle of Atrocity hill is that
it ended in the destruction of a
growing beachhead across the
Naktong river that had put the
enemy within 12 air miles of
Taegu, then the provisional cap
ital of South Korea,
To save Taegu, the United
States First cavalry division had
to hold this frowning ridge that
stands as a sentinel bulwark
east of the Naktong river. It is
a steep rugged, wooded hill
about 1,000 feet high, two miles
northwest of Waegwan, and
overlooks the main highway
leading from Seoul through Tae
gu to the supply port of Pusan
at the- south end of the penin
sula.
The battle began last Tuesday
Some stray dogs came up
and sniffed the foxholes where
a company of American In
fantrymen were dug in on the
mile-long ridge. Then the
dogs ran back.
"Within 15 minutes to half
an hour the attack began,"
said Sgt. Horst W. Schroeder,
Milldle Village, N. Y and our
doughboys are convinced the
dogs led them to our posi
tions. We can't prove they
were patrol dogs but that is
what the boys believe."
Its final recapture ended a ma
jor threat to Taegu and pre
served the Naktong river de
fensive line. But "Atrocity hill"
also helped educate an Amcri
can army that has needed the
impulse of anger to firm it to its
purpose.
Death still lurks in its gulleys
Patrols try to ambush each other
in the blue shadows.
"This battle," said a general
officer grimly, "taught our men
it is better to stand and die no
matter what the odds rather
than surrender to an enemy of
the type we are fighting.
That is the lesson of Atrocity
hill.

The only change that has been
made in the list of speakers for
the project, as previously pub
lished, is that Salem Chamber of
Commerce will be represented
by Charles A, Sprague instead of
Roy Harland, who is ill.
At least five Salem men will
drive their cars to Portland, and
each will carry a half dozen or
so passengers. Those known to
be taking their cars are Mayor
Robert L. Elfstrom, G. F. (Ted)
Chambers, chairman of the high
way committee of the chamber;
Clay Cochran, chamber pres-
ger; Clair Brown, chamber pres
ident, and Alfred Loucks,
Among others known to be go
ing are: Linn Smith, banker;
James D. Olson, Capital Jour
nal; James H. Nicholson and
Albert H. Gille, aldermen;
Charles A. Sprague, Oregon
Statesman; Grant Murphy, coun
ty judge; W. W. Chadwick, Sen
ator hotel owner and member of
the legislature; E. O. Stadter, dis
trict attorney; Russ Bonesteele,
auto dealer; Guy N. Hickok,
banker; F. L. Bressler, builder;
Lee Ohmart, George Graben-
horst, Joe Himmel, real estate;
Fred S. Lamport, attorney; and
Ralph Robertson, Industrialist.
The wide interest being shown
in the project is indicated by
these typical excerpts from some
of the letters and resolutions
that have been sent to the com
mission: Springfield Chamber of Com
merce, by Lew Garbutt, man
ager "It was the feeling of this
board that this artery of traffic
serving the principal cities of
western Oregon from north to
south, and feeding directly into
the metropolitan area of Port
land, should certainly be given
every consideration for widen
ing at the points of greatest
traffic flow."
Douglas Yeater, republican
nominee for state senator, Salem
The pressing need for an im
proved highway between Port
land and Salem is apparent and
common knoweldge.
Marion county court We
wish to commend your foresight
and good judgmentin building
the four-lane highway out of
Portalnd to New Era, and the
main major Improvements to
relieve the bottleneck farther
south along the route of High
way 99E. . . . We believe that
the next link of improvement
on 99E should be between Salem
and New Era.
Salem Chamber of Commerce,
by G. F. Chambers, chairman of
the highway committee It
would connect the two largest
populated cities . . . Salem, being
the capital, and Portland being
the metropolitan city of the
state, nearly 80 percent of the
travelers stop in these two cities.
Salem Trades and Labor
Council, by Herbert E. Barker,
executive secretary The pres
ent highway is not adequate to
carry the present day traffic. . . .
According to information I have
been able to gather, the high
way between Salem and Port
land is carrying 60 percent more
traffic than is considered safe
for a two-lane highway.
Salem Building Trades Coun
cil, by F. cD. Van Sweringea
executive secretary Each vehi
cle using this section of out
highway system is a forceful ar
gument in favor of the four-lane
plan.
Highway 99 association, by
Herbert Roadman, president
In our opinion this improvement
would be beneficial to all the
people of- Oregon.
Roseburg Chamber of Com
merce, by Harold J. Nickerson,
secretary-manager We are hap
py to endorse and urge the pro
gram now being suggested . .
for the Immediate improvement
to a four-lane standard of the
Pacific higway between New Era
and Salem.
Douglas county court, by D. N.
Busnbark, county judge We be
lieve the improvement is badly
needed.
Jackson county court We un
derstand that the traffic count
shows a volume that would jus
tify a four-lane highway.
Eugene Chamber of Commerce
by Fred M. Brenne, manager-
The highway committee of the
Eugene Chamber of Commerce,
after study and consideration of
the growth of highway travel
along US 99, especially between
Portland and Salem, unanimous
ly endorses the proposal.
Lebanon Chamber of Com
merce, by T. G. Britton, presi
dent The abnormal flow of traf
fic as measure by the automatic
recorder south of Woodburn re
quires early consideration of four
lanes from Salem to New Era.
Albany Chamber of Commerce
by Donald J. Donahue, manager
Such construction would aid
immeasurably In the reduction
of traffic accidents and would
contribute much to the conveni
ence of residents of all parts of
Oregon.
Woodburn Chamber of On-
mcrce, by Pat C. McL-augnun,
secretary Highway 99E, in Its
present condition ... is badly
overtaxed, and with the tourist
trade on the increase, will make
this stretch of highway more
dangerous than it is at present.

Counter Attack Allied counter-attack (1) rolled through
Kumhwa on northern front. In Changyong bulge (2), fight
ing ended with all U. S. objectives taken. Serious threat de
veloped on southern front as large enemy supply column
(tank symbols) moved east from Chinju to start drive (broken
arrow) on vital supply port of Pusan. South Koreas made
further gains on east coast (3) after capturing Pohang and
Kigye. Reds are massing some 60,000 troops (communist sym
bols) in new threat (small broken arrow) to Taegu. (Acme
Radiotelephoto)
Red Casualties
(Continued from Page 1)
The other immediate threat
appeared to be in the deep south
where the Reds were building
at Chinju for a new offensive
aimed at Pusan, the main allied
port on the southeastern tip of
the peninsula.
In fighting over the week-end
from tip to tip of the 120-mile
long front, the Reds lost nearly
2,000 men in the south, 6,000 on
the central front and the bal
ance on the east coast line north
of Pohang.
Associated Press correspond
ent Stan Swinton reported from
the southern front that Ameri
cans lost a key and bitterly dis
puted mountain position in a
give and take battle two miles
southwest of Haman to 1,500
wildly charging Reds.
Fighting has raged around
Haman since Saturday. The sec
tor is defended by the U, S. 25th
infantry division. It is 10 miles
northwest of the south coast port
of Masan, 27 airline miles west
of Pusan.
Red Drive Halted
Sustained air and artillery at
tacks halted the Red drive to
ward Taegu from a communist
column north of allied-recap
tured Kumhwa. Two Red di
visions have been identified in
the push.
Associated Press Correspond
ent Don Whitehead on the Tae
gu front reported night flying
U. S. warplanes guided by phos
phorous shells hammered at the
Reds for four hours.
The communists gained two
miles before the American 27th
"Wolfhound" regiment and South
Korean troops stopped them.
Previously General MacArthur
had reported those forces had
regained all ground lost last
week to the Reds moving on Tae
gu. AP Correspondent Jack Mac
Beth on the deep south front,
said that pilots reported observ
ing "a terrific buildup" of sup
plies by the Reds' Sixth divi
sion around Chinju. MacBeth
said it was possible the Red
Seventh infantry division had
been rushed to reinforce the
Sixth for an impending stab al
Pusan.
MacBeth said other pilots re
ported a similar buildup in the
east where two South Korean
divisions pushed northward of
the Kigye-Pohang line in a con
tinuing bloody offensive that
cost the Reds heavily.
These developments came aft
er week-end amphibious land
ings of allied South Korean ma
rines on the South Korean coast
southeast of Chinu, and on Yong-
nung lsalnd, southwest of In
chon, port for Seoul.

New England States
Boston, Aug. 21 W) New

Senate Votes
(Continued from Page 1)
There was no contest of an
amendment by Senators Wherry
(R., Neb.) and Sparkman (D.,
Ala.) which would require the
government, in allocating scarce
materials, to make sure the re
maining supply is distributed
fairly for civilian needs. A
voice vote approved it.
Distribution would be based
on shares received by individual
companies during a representa
tive period prior to June 24,
1950.
Senator O'M a h o n e y (D.,
Wyo.) put in, also on a voice
vote, a provision which would
authorize government loans for
development of metal resources.
This would operate under a sec
tion authorizing $2,000,000,000
in government loans and loan
guarantees to spur defense pro
duction.
House Approved Bills
The house on August 10 ap
proved a similar legislation
overwhelmingly.
In advance of senate balloting
on a big stack of amendments
(storting at 12 noon, EST) and
then on the bill itself, adminis
tration leaders predicted ap
proval of a measure acceptable
to the president.
They forecast that the senate
would beat down proposed
changes which Mr, Truman has
said fall in the category of "spe
cial privilege" amendments.
The CIO declared last night
that amendments of that type
already approved would cost
consumers billions of dollars
and transform the anti-inflation
bill into one to guarantee profits.
Pending amendments, the CIO
id, are even worse and would
make the bill "a fake and a
fraud upon the American peo
ple."
Senate democratic chiefs gave
their first attention to a pair of
administration - opposed moves
to write an anti-communist pro
gram into the economic controls
bill.
Closed Session
Booked ahead of the senate
session was a closed conference
of all democratic senators to
chart strategy dealing with:
1. A rider amendment by re
publican Senators Mundt (S.D.)
and Ferguson (Mich.) which
would nail their communist-con
trol bill into the mobilization
measure.
2. Another internal security
bill, embracing the Mundt-Fer-guson
program and other anti
subversive features, which Sen
ator McCarran (D., Nov.) said
he might offer as a substitute
for the GOP plan.
Administration leaders hoped
to block approval of either plan
with a promise to the democrats
that anti-communist legislation,
for which there is strong senti
ment In the senate, will be
brought up for separate action
later this session. An adminis
tration bill also would come into
the picture at that time.
Senator Maybank (D., S.C.),
floor manager of the economic
controls bill, stood by his pre
diction that the democratic ma
jority would vote almost solidly
against the two curb-the-com-munists
riders,
On the republican side, Sen
ators Morse (Ore.) and Flanders
(Vt.) said the riders will get no
support from them. They want
anti-subversive legislation en
acted in a separate bill.
