ill mM
stating that the state commis
sion had been asked to design
ate the road which would be
come part of a nation-wide sys
tem of lnter-regional highways
improved with federal funds and
that the most recent reports of
Engineer Baldock favored 99
over 97, which runs from
Eugene to Klamath Falls.
Much Data Gathered
Frank Van Dyke, Ashland at
torney who is helping to prepare
the brief, stated that a large
quantity of factual information
had been gathered setting forth
the advantages of 99 over 97
from many different angles and
refuting the arguments of Ar
thur Schaupp, Klamath Falls,
member of the state commission,
who is endeavoring to have the
designation changed from high
way 99 to 97. Originally a five
man committee appointed by the
late President Roosevelt had
named 99 as the inter-rcglonal
road for Oregon.
A letter was read from A. R.
Trombley, Portland, chairman
of the roads and highways com
mittee of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce stating that he had
gone over Engineer Baldock's
report on the two roads in de
tail and that his committee was
in complete endorsement of
highway 99 as the inter-regional
road. Trombley added that he
would continue to work for high
standards for both roads.
Ralph Koozer, Ashland, presi
dent of the Pacific Highway as
sociation, stated that all towns
and counties adjacent to high
way 99 were preparing to send
delegations of citizens to the
meeting May 15.

a Williams' Creek grange dele
gation was made by Clarence
Winetrout, who stated that con
ditions appeared favorable in
the matter of constructing the
Williams' Creek cut-off road to
the Oregon Caves. He stated
that this would in all probability
be a national forest highway.

members of the county budget
committee, Arnold Bohnert, W.
W. Robison, Ashland, and Ben
Harder. Other guests were C. M.
Hurd, former Medford business

ference, Morse declared In an
interview:
"This must be a people's
treaty. Unless it is, unless it is
based upon full discussion and
understanding by not only the
governments but the peoples of
the world, it will not be able to
stand the stresses which will be
placed upon it and ultimately it
will fail."
Morse suggested that the
treaty be delayed in the senate
at least until September to per
mit public debate upon it
throughout the United States.
From other senators, however,
came objections to Morse's pro
posal. Senate President Kenneth Mc
Kellar, D., Tenn., who was in
the senate during the Versailles
treaty fight after the last war,
said the new treaty debate
should be concluded "just as
soon as possible."
