PAGE ETGHT MEDFORD MAHi TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. MONDAY. JULY 22, 1940. PACIFIC BAY POPULARITY SEEN DUE FORJCLIPSE New Willamette Route Will Lure Traffic Unless 99 Straiahtened. Is Belief Br Richard Applegate UP Staff Correspondent Salem, Ore., July 22. U.P. The ftate highway commission will open iU $3,200,000 trans Caacade Willamette highway the end of thia month, lending em phasis to the recent southern Oregon demand for Improve ment In the Pacific highway. For 30 years the Pacific haa been the dominant coast' high way for through traffic. When, on July 30, the Willamette route Is opened, the time between Eu gene and Klamath Falls will be clipped by at least three, and possibly four hours, under the time now possible over the Pa cific route. Neglect Feared Those now on the Pacific highway Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland, are fearful that popularity of the new highway will lead officials to neglect the old.twisting route over the Sexton mountain pass. The highway commission has promised this will not happen, and already a survey is under way south of Roseburg, for re locating and streamlining the route. Southern Oregon highway of ficials appealed to the commis sion to speed this work, because of the strategic military import ance of the old highway if for no other reason. They have a good argument In the dilapi dated condition of the highway now and the comparatively large population dependent up on it as compared to the thinly populated' area along the new Willamette court. Gradual Grades That the new route Is going to be popular nobody can deny. It leaves the Pacific highway at Goshen, south of Eugene, and climbs over the Cascades In a long, gradual' ascent, through standing timber most of the way to the summit. A tunnel, just now being com pleted, crosses the divide, from where the new highway skirts Odell and Crescent lakes to Join the Dalles-California highway between Chemult and Crescent. It skirts near Crater and Dia mond lakes, with short, good feeder roads into those scenic spots. Through traffic south from Eugene would reach San Fran cisco in approximately 12 hours over the Willamette highway as compared to approximately IS and a half hours over the Paci fic highway. For Medfordites the differ ence would be slight, for they can utilize the new route in go ing north only by cutting in at Crater Lake, and to the south the Pacific need yield to no highway in its perfect grades over the Sisklyous.

BRITISH ATTITUDE Berlin, July 22. (U.P.1 The newspaper Frankfurter Zeltung today charged that President Franklin D. Roosevelt was re sponsible "to a great extent" for the alleged "Irrational attitude of England towards the present situation in Europe." "England" the newspaper said, "favored with words of friendship, may turn Its bark on reason and run into the madness of destruction. Mr. Roosevelt is the man who ought to hide his head if the appeal to reason made by Adolf Hitler is to end In the destruction of England."
