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."

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.

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.
