p PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1942. EFFORT TO REGAIN S.P.T VanDyke and Green Learn Company Not Planning to Shift Train From Klamath Aahland, April 8 (Spl.) Frank J. Van Dyke, city attor ney, and G. M. Green were In San Francisco Monday relative to the Plaza corner project and other community matteri. They contacted varioui army official! in an effort to procure war department approval of the Plaza project. Thii i necessary, due to the fact priorities must be procured on the critical ma terials that will be needed In the project A conference was also held with railroad officials relative to the possibility of letting train service from the Rogue River valley to the south reinstated. There have been rumors that trains 19 and 20 might be shift ed from the Klamath line to the Ashland line between San Fran cisco and Portland, but it was ascertained that this is not be ing considered officially. Railroad officials emphasized that demands on the railroads because of war efforts are In creasing Instead of diminishing and the main hope of reinstate ment of train service to the south, to replace the present bus-train combination service, lies in the demand created by the cantonment in this area, ac cording to G. M. Green. Agencies were also contacted with the hope of getting the gas oline rationing rule lifted from the Rogue River area. It is con tended that the same train pow er facilities and crews required to bring gasoline shipments to points north of Dunsmuir can bring gasoline shipments on to the Rogue river valley without any strain on the railroad facili ties and crews, and that the use of the state line as a point of rationing is artificial and unfair. Gasoline dealers throughout this area are seeking the elim ination of the rationing rule as far as the Rogue River valley is concerned.

Grants Pass, April 8. (Spl.V Transportation facilities and costs stand as a barrier in the way of Grants Pass being classi fied as a defense housing area, it appeared Tuesday with an As sociated Press report on canton ment problems at Salem. De fense housing areas secure pri orities on building and other supplies. Delegates representing Wil lamette valley cities were told that communities to be included in defense housing areas must be able to transport workers to the cantonment and return at a maximum of 40 cents per round trip, which must not consume more than two hours time. The cheapest round-trip ticket offered by bus from Grants Pass to the cantonment area is $1.10 plus five per cent tax. Private Cars Used In contrast, private car own ers under share-expense plan ap proved by the PUC have been charging as low as SO cents for the round trip of 68 miles. The bus charge was made at the high rate, the transit com pany said when it instituted service, in order to secure the support of Pacific Greyhound company. Officials starting the camp bus said Greyhound prom ised not to oppose their permit if the rates were made higher than Greyhound s own rates, out said they would fight a camp bus proposal if it proposed to cut below Greyhound's rates. Only seven or eight persons are using the bus to camp, and it may be withdrawn, the 'ocal stage terminal advised Tuesday. More than 45 asked for bus service before the price and time schedules were established.
