Rail Curb
Bill Wins
In Senate
PoWer Voted PUC
To Bar Service
Reduction
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
Associated Press Writer
The Oregon Senate pass
ed 22-8 Monday a bill to
give the Public Utilities
Commissioner authority to
prevent railroads irom re
during passenger service. .
, The bill, which' goes to the
House,, is the outgrowth of the
suspension by the Southern Paci
fic railrovd two years ago of its
passenger service to Southern
Oregon.
Charles H. Heltzel, . then Public
Utilities Commissioner, tried to
block discontinuance of that serv
ice, but the courts ' ruled he had
no power in the case.
Must Give 20 Days Notice
The new legislation provides
that when a railroad plans to
reduce passenger service, it must
give 20 days notice. During that
20 days the public utilities com
missioner can noia Hearings at
which the railroad must- provide
that such reduction is in the public
interest. Both sides could appeal to
the courts.
Sen. Philip S. Lowry (R), Med
ford. told the Senate that . the
Southern Pacific has agreed to the
bill, which provides the same type
of regulation that now is in effect
in California.
"Under present law," he said,
"once passenger service has been
abandoned, it is very difficult to
restore it."
He denied that railroads ae
. losing much money on their pas
' senger business, asserting "the
passenger deficits .are compiled
under ancient formulas of the
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. "I fear that the United Slates
could be weakened in a war by
further passenger service reduc
tions.
Too Late to Aid South
Lowry said that while the biirf'
comes too late to solve the South
ern Oregon problem, he sponsored
the bill for the best interests of
the rest df the' state.
Sen. Dan -Dimick (D), Rose
burg, said "this problem became
acute in Southern Oregon, and our
interest is to protect the rest of
tne state."
Nobody spoke against the bill,
but these senators voted against
R. F. Chapman (D) Coos Bay;
Ward Cook (D), Portland; John
D. Hare (R), Hillsboro; Walter

Street-Extension Bill
Senate Bill 30, which would permit the State Fair Com
mission to negotiate with the city of Salem for the extension
of 17th street through the fairgrounds, was passed, 38 to 19,
by the OregonHouse of Representatives Monday. V
However, the bill will have tor
go back to the Senate for concur
rence on a House amendment be
fore going to Gov. Robert D
holmes.
The. amendment added by the
'fl'1' requJreBoard f
Control anMoval before an ex
change of property between the
city and fair board is made.
Speaking in favor of the bill in
the House were Reps. Eddie An
rens and Guy Jonas, both of Mar
ion County. Speaking in' opposi
tion was Rep. Robert Steward
(D.), Keating, who will take over
as Oregon Agriculture Depart
ment director at theclose of the
Legislature. .
Rep. Steward said the proposed
street extension would ruin the
oak grove on the west end of the
fairgrounds. This was denied by
Rep. Ahrcns who declared only
one tree would be removed.
The city is seeking the exten
sion of 17th street for an arterial
through the eastern part of the
city to connect with Silverton

Court Turns Down
Appeal by Texas
School Board
WASHINGTON UB The Su
preme Court Monday let stand
an order directing a. federal
district court to keep on its
docket the suit by Negro chil
dren in Wichita Falls, Tex., for
admission to public schools near
est their homes.
The order, issued by the U. S.
Circuit Court in New Orleans, was
appealed to the high tribunal by
the Wichita Falls School Board.
The boa-d said the Negroes had
been granted their request and
Iheir case was "moot" (no long
er having a live issue).
Had Been Discussed
The U.S. District Court for
northern Texas agreed with the
school board and dismissed the
Negroes' complaint, but the Cir
cuit Court directed it to retain
jurisdiction.
The Circuit Court said that while
the Negro children had been ad
mitted to the public school nearest
their homes it is by no means
certain that they had the same
free privileged! transfer to or at
tendance at any school of -their
choice as was accorded the white
children."
In appealing to the Supreme
Court, the school board said the
Circuit Court decision compels the
District court to act as a super
school board in overseeing the'
day-to-day administrative action
of the duly elected board in the
conduct of the public school sys
tem." (Continued on Page S, Column 3)

Journal reporter Brad Williams
was served today with an indict
ment charging him with conspir
acy to violate Oregon's wire tap
law.
It was the third indictment re
turned against the newsman by
the vice probing Multnomah coun
ty grand jury. He had previously
been charged with another wire
tap violation and with malicious
procurement of a search warrant.
All three charges Were based
on a raid last May 18 on the home
of Raymond F. Clark in which
five reels of tape recordings were
seized. The tapes later were the
basis for federal wire tap charges
against Clark and his employer,
racketeer James B. Elkins.
Williams posted $1000 bail on the
new charge, bringing to $7000 the
total bail he has put up on all
three charges.

Free Satellites

of Soviet satellite nations but said
this country does "not Incite vio

"rather wo encourago an evolution

the satellites is sought "not in
order to circle Russia with hostile
forces" but because otherwise
"peace is in jeopardy and freedom
mockery." He pledged the
United States will "never make a
political settlement" at the
pensc of the satellites.
Said the chief deterrent to
aggression is U.S. "mobile retali

in. . .its potential." But he added
the "extent to which it would he
