The interesting Lindbergh bnby, to spend the hot. weather 4jtt the home of Mr. and Mrs. Morrow in Mnine, will fly there with his father and mother, ac cording to report. ' A flying baby only a few weeks old seems strange to ns. Ten years hence babies in an airplane will be no "more excit ing than babies in street cars 'of railroad trains. The -Lindbergh baby will find it hard to realize that hu man 'beings olicc crawled over the surface of tha earth' or water at a "snail's puce" at GO mjles an hour.' David Sarnoff, president of the Hadio Corporation of America, like all successful men, has imagination as well ' as executive capacity. He says that television, providing a "theatre for every home, al though the stage may be only a cabinet, and a curtain the screen is, I believe, the distinct promise of the. new era of elec trical entertainment." Mr. Sarnoff sees in the latest gift of science to tho human race the promise of "a new cul ture." : Ten million homes in the.

Traffic Manager Here to Confer With Shippers' Assn., Makes Important Announcement Will Save Time and Money. J. H. Mulchay, general traffic manager of the Southern Pacific railroad, headquarters at Portland, announced today that all Rogue River vnlley 'fruit shipments the coining season would be routed via the Alturas cut-off, saving an auction day In the eastern mar kets, and eliminating the long, hot haul to Sacramento, calif. Schedules, tariffs, and facilities have been completed for the Inau guration of the service, Mulchay said. . A special service will be given early fruit shipments of fruit of 10 cars or more, with delivery in Chicago on the morning of the ninth day. Faster service will be main tained on the train lot hauls, with arrival In Chicago on the seventh day, and delivery on the morning of the eighth day. , The best delivery last year and previously, was In nine days, and often closer to 10 days. Traffic Manager Mulchay said that the same service as last year would be majntalhed locally an nfternoon and night fruit train, and more If business warranted. He said local switching facilities would be Incrensed to avoid de lays. Saves Time Money. Routing of the fruit via Alturas cut-off is good news for the ship pers, and growers of the valley, as It means a saving of time and money. Mulchay said the route was in perfect condition for fast hauling, and that Willamette vol ley fruit and berry shipments were already being sent east by that route, The decision yesterday of the Interstate Commerce Commission granting the railroads permission to make rates in competition with water rates, would be beneficial, Mulchay thought, for western Oregon Interior points, as It would Increase business and enable the southern Pacific to secure some of the cheaper freight, thus in creasing their tonnage. "The lumber business is the basic industry of Western Ore ion." Mild Mr. Mulchay, "and the rulinir will ennhlo the mills nt In terlor points to meet prices of mills with ocean shipping racm ties better. The general Traffic manager said that return of the $1.73 pear freiitht rate to Eastern points, in stead of the emergency rate of tl.tiO per hundred was sought by nil carriers affected, and not aionc bv tho Southern Pacific, as under stood by many. Ho said thnt the rate of $ t .GO nor hundred was automatically revoked, when tno courts ruled that tho Interstate commerce commission had ex ceeded Its authority when it. grant ed It, "There Is a trend upward In business conditions." Bald Mr. Mul- enhy, "and orders for lumber ore coming In with more steadiness than heretofore. This Is a hope fill sign, and gives a better tone to general conditions This afternoon Mulchay meets with the traffic committee of the Rogue River Traffic association to discuss rates and plans for tho coming yenr.

WASHINGTON, July 10. (P) Senator McKellar told the senate today Frauce and Italy had been "brought on the verge of war" by "secrecy, bud blood and joalousy" surrounding negotiations of the na val treaty. McKellar's attack, openod after l4 senators had appeared, was ex pected to be followed by others from opponents of thn pact. Its supporters have vested their case. - (Ai Tennessee Democrat . cited Franco-Italian relations after pro testing that no printed record of the London negotiations wore avail able, although records of the Wash ington and Geneva conferences were printed In book form soon after the 1922 and 1927 gatherings. "That's tho reason why this treaty Is not a real ponce treaty," lie said. "That's the reason tills trenty Is a sham and why only three powers signed It. That's the reason we almost brought on a war between Franco and Italy." Senator Johnson, a treaty oppo nent, said the state department was printing a volume embodying Its own Views on the pact. The proofs of this hook, he added, have been turned over to "one admiral who was friendly to the plan adopted by the American delegation."

V. Carpenter, who headed the Medford Chamber of Commerce committee in charge' of the presentation of Medtord's case to the commission. Formal hearing before the Inter state commerce commission on the cane was held in Medford over a year ago, and the commission's de cision to restrict the intermediate rates to a 100 per cent increase over the port-to-port charges Is viewed an a substantial victory for those who Bought reductions into this territory, us some of the present rate schedules provide for charges as high a 400 per cent over the terminal rates. Contention Upheld The Western Traffic association, represented at the hearing 'by At torney William P. Ellis or Salem, was in charge of the presentation ot the facts from the Intermediate . points between Salem and Ashland, and contended that the Intermedi ate rates were too high in propor tion to the terminal rates, and the decision rendered bears out , th? fact that the contentions of the as sociation' were true. The organiza tion was sponsored and financed by the Chambers ot Commerce of Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Sutherlin, Eugene nnd Salem. v . As an example of the' reductions which wilt probably accrue to the Intermediate .territory on account of the commission's decision, the following first class rate, was cited by Mr., Carpenter: The present rate on first class merchandise be tween San Francisco and Portland Is 72 cents per hundred pounds,, and because of the limiting ot the' intermediate rates to 100 per cent In excess ot port rates, the rate on this class to Medford could not exceed $1.44.
