MAIN STREET PHONE 2-4585 Air Line Objects To Pilots' Entry In CAB Hearing Southwest airways of South San Francisco today notified all parties interested in the South west renewal-United suspension case now pending before the civ il aeronautics board that it is urging the CAB to deny the re cent petition of the Airline Pi lots' Association, Internationl, to Intervene as a party to the case. C. H. Sullavan. attorney for Southwest, explained to the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce that the pilots did not file their petition until a year after the first pre-hearing conference in the case, despite CAB regulations. In addition to tiling their petition at the late date, the pilots' association gave no reason for their delay, Sulla van said. Cite Reason! "It is bad enough for South west to be subjected to the addi tional delays and expenses nec essarily incident to the reopen ing of this case," the attorney de clared, "but to now expand the scope of the reopened proceed ing beyond even that prescribed In the board's order . . ., merely to favor a party which ignored the board's rules of practice, would further penalize South west and prejudice its rights."

Medford Is the northern ter minus of Southwest's opertions. routes across the storm-whipped Himalayan ranges fabled as "the roof of the world." Message Received At some point along the trail, fairly early in his journey, Mac Kiernan beamed a message to the outside world with a port able radio transmitter he was carrying. Its feeble signals were picked up and relayed to the state department in Washington. The message indicated that MacKiernan was then safe and well. That was months ago. No word has been published since. The Indian government said its mountain sentries on the north ern border have reported no trace of him. Allowing for winter storms and hazardous traveling. Mac Kiernan should have crossed the Himalayas by January or Febru ary. Three other Americans who preceded him from Urumchi Consul General J. Hall Paxton, Mrs. Paxton and Vice Consul Robert Dressen made the trip in about six weeks. A group of Chinese nationalist officials who left Urumchi a few days ahead of MacKiernan reach ed Kashmir in December, al though 54 members of their 750 man caravan died of frostbite and starvation along the way. Maybe Captured The nationalist officials believe MacKiernan either has been cap tured by the communists or is being hidden by Chinese moun tain tribesmen known as Ka- saks, who are anti-communist. "Or of course he may be dead." said Isa Yusuf, former secretary general of the Sinkiang government, whose own 7-year-old daughter died on the jour ney from China. "Some of the glaciers are like glass," Yusuf said. "The passes are so high you cannot breathe. It is very dangerous in the win ter." MacKiernan had extensive technical training that should qualify him to cope with severe weather. He studied at the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technol ogy and was a research assist ant there from 1938 to 1940. Later he was attached to the U.S. weather bureau. He became a U.S. army lieutenant colonel in World War II.

Main at Rivcnide Phone 2-6189 T I Multnomah County Freight Damage Claim I I II I z - U 3 Iff A iirUmUr Lower on w unes In State History Salem, Ore., June 22 (U.R) Payrolls for Oregon counties outside of Multnomah county are as high, or higher by several times, as any time in state his tory, the state unemployment compensation commission said today. Multnomah county payrolls still fall about $100 million short of the war years, but the com mission said covered pay rolls in nearly one-half of the counties were higher in 1949 than in 1948, despite a general decline of $30 million from the 1948 record of $973 million. Of the 15 counties in which increases took place, only four Marion, Douglas, Umatilla and Deschutes were among the upper half. Sherman County Gains Sherman county, smallest of all 36 in Oregon, had the big gest gain from 1948 with 80.5 per cent, or from $224,519 to $405,258. Morrow, Crook, Gil liam and Malheur each went up at least 10 per cent. Coos county regained fifth place by decreasing only one per cent to $32,790,178 while Linn county dropped nearl y eight per cent to $31,580,508. Other lead ers remained the same in posi tion, but Multnomah county, despite a decline of more than $10 million from 1948, slightly increased its proportion of the state's covered pay rolls from 45.7 to 46 per cent. Changes in rank among the counties since 1040 have been numerous, the commission point ed out. Klamath, second at the start of the decade, has dropped to eighth, while Lane has nearly doubled the pay rolls of its nearest rival, Marion, to hold the runner-up position. Most spec tacular gain has been made by Douglas, which has gone from 17 in 1940 to fourth in 1949 with a pay roll 13 times as large. Umatilla went from 16th to 11th and Linn from 11th to 6th, while Clatsop dropped from 6th to 10th, Deschutes from 8th to 14th and Columbia from 10th to 18th. Claims for loss and damage to freight handled by Southern Pa cific's western lines were re duced by more than 30 per cent last year or approximately 70, 000 claims, as compared with the previous year, Robert Holmes, district freight and passenger agent here, said today. Wnlmnc ffnve mnph credit for the record to shippers and the railroads employees, stronger narltacincr hptter loading and more careful movement of ship ments helped, he said.
