New York. Jan. 20 Un
united Press News Services
which were delivered an a war
measure to the office of war
information, the office of inter-
American affairs and the state
department, will be discontinued
Fcbrunry 1H, Hugn uaiiiie. u.
P. president, announced today.
United Press on January 18
made known its intent to dis
continue, but action was sus
pended at the request of Wil
liam Benton, assistant secretary
of state, to allow time for fur
ther discussion.
Baillie said it was the U. P.
program to terminate all ar
rangements for use of its news
which may have been made as
a matter of wartime cooperation
with anv government. If upon
scrutiny they arc found to be
serving government propaganaa
purposes.-
Wartime Measure
In making the announcement.
Baillie said, "Of course we do
sire to be completely dlsasso-
elated from the state depart
ment's propaganda program
Permission to government agen
eles for use of our dispatches
aboard was a wartime measure.
"The United Press has pio
neered In the worldwide distri
bution of new since 1907. We
have campaigned all over the
world for a freer flow of news
among nations. We still are very
actively engaged In this endea
vor. "During all this time the
United Press has e o m p e t a d
against government - subsidized
and1 official news agencies In
very part of the world. We
have seen It demonstrated that
no government, no matter how
scrupulously careful It may be,
can distribute news and not be
suspected of spreading propa
ganda. Press Vital Asset
"The great strength of the
American Press associations al
ways has been that they were
not Identified, even Indirectly,
with government propaganda.
Thus, the American Press asso
ciations have developed Into
vitnl national assets.
"If the state department
wants to open an official Ameri
can agency to distribute news
abroad, that will be tho concern
of the congress and the Ameri
can people. But our participa
tion In any such program would
be an historic step backward.
'The foreign service of the
United Press has grown consist
ently for nearly 40 years. Dur
ing this time, we have seen
many government news agencies
come and go.
Nearly 1.000 Clients
"We now serve almost a thou
sand clients abroad. In 00 coun
tries and territories. Our serv
ice Is available to any newspa
per In any country where the
newspaper has the freedom to
buy the service It wants.
"Also, our service Is available
In the commercial shortwave
broadcasting systems of this
country for broadcasting to lis
teners abroad.
"We understand that other
American agencies, too, espec
ially since the war, have ex
panded their services abroad, so
that the distribution of Ameri
can news overseas Is now at an
absolute peak.
"This is a most Important
contribution lo the cause of In
ternational understanding and
peace. In my judgment, it would
be adversely affected, lo a most
definite and positive degree. If
the news of these American j
agencies were to be identified
abroad with propaganda activi
ties of the government."

Uie Mail Tribune Want Ad..
Southern Pacific is happy to announce that plans are under way for tho
$m$m MYU6HTS
Two brand new custom-built streamlined trains for
daily daylight service; CASCADE will be streamlined!
THIS IS IT I This is the announcement we had to postpone
through four long years of war.
We are happy to tell our friends in Oregon that plans are
under way for the first streamliners in Southern Pacific's post
war program the Shasta Daylights. We promise you that
we will spare no expense to make these the finest and most
luxurious streamlined coach trains ever constructed
Oregon's Own Trains!
Leaving Portland and San Francisco in the morning and
arriving in the late evening, the Shasta Daylights will speed
daily in each direction over Southern Pacific's Cascade Line.
Bus service from Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland will
connect at Dunsmuir with the Shasta Daylight to andlfrom
San Francisco. (Overnight train service between Ashland and
Portland and between Grants Pass and San Francisco will
be continued.)
Each seat on the Shasta Daylights will have ita own indi
vidual window, and these windows will be of unique design
much taller than the windows on any other train.
Aboard the Shasta Daylights, travelers from all over the
world will enjoy a close-up grandstand view of the wonders of
Oregon. The trains will, we think, be a fine advertisement for
the state.
With our companion Daylights between San Francisco and
Los Angeles, the Shasta Daylights will enable tourists to see
almost the entire Pacific Coast in the traditional comfort and
luxury of these famous streamliners created by Southern Pacific.
Fast, powerful diesel-electric locomotives will smoothly
pull the Shasta Daylights. The exteriors will be brilliantly
streamlined in red, orange and black. The interior color
schemes will be inspired by the soft blues, greens and browns
of Oregon's lakes, rivers and forests. The Shasta Daylights
will have every modern refinement in comfort and service
that we and the builders can conceive. Above alL they will be
safe, solidly built and dependable.
We have given our ideas to the designers of the car building
companies, who are now working out the details and techni
cal specifications; As soon as bids are received, we will place
orders for actual construction of the Shasta Daylights for de
livery, we expect, before the end of the year
A faster streamlined CASCADE
Our plana include streamlining the Cascade, making it a
deluxe overnight sleeping car train between Portland and San
Francisco. Based on designs now being worked out, orders will
be placed for triple unit articulated cars for the Cascade each
unit consisting of a lounge car, a dining car and a kitchen car.
(If you have ridden our famous Lark between San Francisco
and Los Angeles you know how 'stunningly beautiful these
threear units are. The dining car and lounge are one contin
uous room 131 feet long, with no partition between the cars.
They are the only cars of this kind in America.)
As fast es the manufacturer can deliver new streamlined
sleeping cars they will be placed in service on the Cascade.
This, we hope, will be early in 1947. The Cascade, as well as other
trains, will be speeded up as soon as the present heavy traffic
load eases, and before we receive the new equipment.
The friendly Southern Pacific
