changes will be made on surveys
and recommendation of J. A.
Eidswick, postoffice Inspector.
Affecting the entire perimeter
of the city, houses on rural
routes have been numbered and
roads have been named where
necessary. County Engineer Paul
Rynning supervised this task and

dent Frank Rogers. In most
cases roads which extended from
' city streets were given the name
of the street. Only a few changes
were necessary in naming roads.

have been issued house numbers
and the streets have been de
signated as Spring street. Wa
bash, Waverly, Lawnridge and

transferred to Eagle Point. Hans
Rammin, who has been the route
3 carrier, will again be assigned
to the route, which will be
known as route 1. Route 1 will
also take in Star rouie out of
Eagle Point and the Star route
out oi Shady Cove. Clay Hpb-
erus wm cominue as carrier on
Medford route 1 . and F. E.
Nichols on route 2. ,
Mounted RoutM
Parts of all four existing rural
routes are taken into mounted
routes which have been numb
ered 30 and 3130 being on the
East Side and 31 on the West
Side.
- Between 1,100 and 1,200
homes will be affected by the
change which, according to De
Souza, was necessitated by the
remarkable growth of the com
munity. The local postoffice
now has three rural and two
mounted routes and 10 foot car
riers, "DeSouza said.
Gerald Latham, circulation
manager of the Mail Tribune,
aid it will not be necessary for

vided with a complete copy of
the changc3 and the address

be transferred from route 1, 106
boxes from route 2, 20 boxes

route from Eagle Point to Butte
Falls will have to be rerouted
to serve 11 patrons on the
Crater Lake highway which can
not be satisfactorily served by
rural carrier.
Change 309 Boxes

boxes from route 1 to mounted
service and reroute the carrier
to serve Lozier lane. Oak Grove
school road, Jo-Jack lane and
part of McAndrew's road, having
111 boxes now being served by
route 2.
Besides the 111 boxes to be
transferred from route 2. 106
boxes of route 2 will be served

Truman Asks Congress Make British Loan;

Washington, Jan. 30 (U.R)
President Truman today asked

enable her "to move side by side
with the United States toward
the common goal of expanded

A -Bomb Use in Hunt for Polar Gold

draw until 1951 to finance pur

payments would begin in 1951
and interest would, be 2 per

could be waived in years when
Britain's expor's did not pro
vide her with enough dollars to
meet the payments.
The agreement also provides

aid already received. Her total
repayments of principal thus
would be $4,400,000,000, al
though the new credit would be
$3,750,000,000. The lend-lease
settlement is not subject to con
gressional approval.
Prompt Action Asked
The president urged prompt i
action on the loan, which was
initialled by representatives of
the two nations Dec. 6 and ap
proved by the British parlia
ment a few days later.
The loan carries with it Brit
ish agreement to remove re.
strictions upon trade as well as
the ending of the sterling area
system. This means that the
aims and rules of the Bretton
Woods agreements will be made
effective sooner than believed
possible, the president said.
The financial agreement, he
continued, precludes the possi
bility of economic controversy
between the two countries.
Mr. Truman said that the
loan represented another phase
of International economic co
operation, which has been ad
vanced by sue!, other acts as the
Bretton Woods agreement, the
ratification of the United Na
tions organization, support of
the United Nations food and
agriculture organization, coop
era'ion In the United States re
lief and rehabilitation adminis
tration, widening the reciprocal
trade agreements act, and ex
reaction.
He proposed that photograph
ic surveys be made by long
range planes and that weather
emergency stations be establish
ed in the area. Research scien
tists would then join these units
and after proper study deter
mine the exact spots to drop the
bombs.
"The great explosive force of
a small and light atomic bomb,
plus long-range high altitude
aircraft with pressurized cabins
form a combination that would
not only put the Antarctic con
tinent on the map, but might al
so break through the ice that
covers the soil and rock of Ant
arctic, thus enabling us to learn
"what goes on below,' " Ricken
backer said.

More Action Needed

establishing the international
monetary fund and bank under
the Bretton Woods agreement,
it had expressed the belief that
additional international econ
omic measures would be neces
sary to make effective the oper
ations of the bank and fund.
Under Bretton Woods, he con
tinued, congress declared it the
policy of the United Stales to
seek further international econ

The loan to Great Britain Is
an example of such further co
operation, the president said.
AND SERVICE FOLK
As vacancies occur, public
housing units in Medford will
now be held for occupancy by
distressed families of veterans
and navy and military personnel
according to an announcement
by George W. Coplen, regional
representative of the National
Housing Agency. This action Is
being taken to aid the lncreas-i
ing number of returning voter-!
ans to find living accommoda
tions in this area, Coplen stated.
Present occupants of the public
housing may continue to occupy
the units in which they are al
ready housed, but applications
of non-veterans now on file will
be canceled. I
Mark Goldy, chairman of the
Jackson county housing author
ity, stated today that the order
"will not materially change the
present set-up since the rate of
turn-over is very slow." He
stated that about 110 veterans
had already filed applications
with the authority and that all
of the 125 dwelling units are
now occupied.
No Prefabs
Goldy stated that the local
authority had made an attempt
to get additional pre-fabricated
units for the Medford area but
had been advised by the region
al office at Seattle that no al
lotments will be made for this
area until areas In which no
units had previously been erects
ed had been cared for.
The unit here was constructed
to house immigrant war workers
employed at Camp White, and
later eligible workers of other
war activities were permitted to
occupy them. Coplen's statement
pointed out that since the war
has ended, the basis of eligibility'
has been changed. This rction
does not affect privately financ
ed bousing built during the war.
