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."
