Crews on Stale
Highways Cut
Completion of Part
Of Program Enables
Maintenance Cuts .
By JAMES I). OLSON
Completion of a portion of the
five-year highway construction
program has brought about a re
duction in highway maintenance
needs, resulting in the laying off
of approximately 50 maintenance
and shop workers in the highway
department June 30, R. H. Bal
doclt, state highway engineer, an
nounced Monday. t
Highway maintenanro in
-
Oregon have been fairly high due
to the inability to replace worn
out highway during the World
War II period. In 1953 the high
way maintenance costs totaled
$10,600,000.
"The current five-year highway
construction program made pos
sible largely through the $72,
000,000 highway bond issues au
thorized by the 1951 and 1953
legislatures is beginning to show
its effect," Baldock declared.
New Roads Stronger
Baldock said that the new
roads throughout Oregon, being
constructed under the present
program are much stronger and
wider than the older highways
and will require far less mainte
nance work.
"We are actually building
maintenance Into these new high
ways," the state highway engin
eer explained.
Wider Highways
All primary highways in Ore
gon, including U.S. Highway 99,
U.S. Highway 30 and U.S. High
way 101 are being widened and
in the main are being replaced
by modern wide nonaccess high
ways. (Continued on Page 5, Column 6)
Summer Here
On Calendar
"IBrbnlUd mu " ' -
Summer came to Oregon at 2:55
p.m. today and much of the state
got summer-like weather. Temper
atures near 90 were forecast for
parls of southern Oregon and the
weather bureau said warm, dry
conditions were expected to con
tinue over the state through Tues
day. A small disturbance was re
ported off the Oregon coast and
small craft warnings were up
from Newport south to Cape Blanco
for winds up to 35 miles per hour,
decreasing tonight. But the fore
cast called for mostly fair weather
except for increasing clouds in
north Oregon Tuesday,
Several temperatures in the 80s
were reported yesterday with Med
ford reporting an 88.
The Columbia river at Vancou
ver, Wash., after rising to above
20 feet Saturday, dropped to 19.3
today and a slow fall was expect
ed for the next two days.
GOP Leaders
Talk Farm Bill
WASHINGTON' Senate and
House Republican leaders predict
ed Monday that Congress will
pass a farm bill which President
Eisenhower can sign.
Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) and
Rep. Halleck (K-Ind) gave no de
tails as they emerged from a
weekly conference with the Presi
dent. But Halleck said he hoped
the bill will at least "make a
start" on the gradual, flexible sys
tem of farm price supports asked
bv the administration.
The House Agriculture Commit
tee has voted to extend for an
other year the present high-level
rigid price supports on basic crops
a program Secretary of Agri
culture Benson has said he would
ask the President to veto. Eisen
hower has not said what course
he would take if rigid supports
were approved.
Hallerk emphasized the Presi
dent's desire for "gradualism" in
shifting the price support program
to lower, flexible levels. He said
Ihc major question now is whether
that aim should be achieved by
administrative discretion or by
congressional action.

The House Foreign Affairs Com

The committee, meeting behind
closed doors, already has partly
remodeled the program to replace
some outright economic gifts with
loans and the use of surplus food.
Efforts to cut the total are an
ticipated, both in final committee
sessions and on the House floor.
The measure would set a ceiling
on the aid program, with the ac

perhaps after further trimming.

Reclamation Project. The group

mated cost of $22,706,000, including
$7,300,000 for construction of a
16,000-kilowatt power dam. Power
revenues would be used to aid
water users in repaying costs
allocable to irrigation.
