it dropped in population, going

The 10-year period from 1940

and periodic production reports
on industries critical to the na

Legion and Library
Cooperate in Plan
For Memorial Books
Medford Post 15 of the Am
erican Legion has instituted a
plan of '"living memorials'' for

cated to the memory of members
of the post who have died. The
post is providing suitable book
plates for each of the books,
which will be purchased by the
library with funds given by the
Legion.
Miss E. Faye Woolsey, librar
ian, will work in connection
with Col. W. H. Paine, post his
torian, in an attempt to select
books which are - particularly
appropriate as memorials for the
individual they honor. An out
door book may be purchased for
a man who was a hunter and
fisherman, for example.
Plates Provided
Funds for the purchase of the
first seven books under this
continuing program, and book
plates for the first seven men
to be so .honored, have been
turned over to the library, ac
cording to Ed Russell, chair
man of the Legion committee
which is handling the project.
The men being honored, and
the branch of service in which
they served are Harry A. Young,
Navy; Ray E. Wright, Army;
Paul B. McDonald, Army; Rob
ert R. Ebel, Navy; Levi C. Gar
lock, Army; Walter J. Reinking,

ICC Hearing on Line
Transfer Ends Here
An Interstate Commerce com
mision hearing on the proposed
transfer of an interstate truck
ing permit from Col. Athel H.
Dudley. Phoenix, to Robert and
Fred Wilcox and Fred DeWitt,
all Medford, co-partners in the
Green Streak Truck line, ended
here yesterday.
The transfer of the permit,
which must be approved by the
ICC, was protested by West
Coast Fast Freight, Pierce
Freight lines, Consolidated
Freightways, Los Angeles - Seat
tle Freight lines and Oregon-Nevada-California
Fast Freight.
The firms joined in the protest
on the grounds that the partners
could not carry out adequate
service.
Join in Complaint
The trucking concerns also
joined in filing a complaint
charging that Dudley's franchise
did not give authority for the
purpose for which the pros
pective purchasers intended to
use it. Their complaint also stat
ed that Dudley, who has held
the franchise for about 12 years,
had abandoned certain rights
covered by the franchise by not
using them.
Attorneys for the co-partners
pointed out that Dewitt has
been hauling products which are
exempt from ICC restrictions
for the past 16 years and is ex
perienced in trucking operations.
Thev also called on vitnp:s;r:
to show that the Wilcox broth
ers are experienced in truck
maintenance and in business od-
erations.
, The case presented by the
freight lines stated that they
can supply all necessary service
to the area. It also stated that
Dudley had hauled a limitpH
number of commodities, while
the DrosDective Durchasers nf Ihp
permit planned to haul all types.
STILL UNCONSCIOUS
Daniel Mainwaring, 5, route
2, box 502, Central Point, who
was struck by an automobile
yesterday, is still unconscious at
Community hospital, attendants
reported. They said his condi
tion is "fair."
nari tint fitinrlav flaccifiAH im at
noon Saturdays. '
Witnesses for the co-partners
stated that, due to increases in
population, business and truck
ing operations have also increas
ed greatly in this area in recent
year?. Several local shippers al
so stated that they had used
Dudley's truck line for 15 years
and had not been able to get
similar service elsewhere.
It was pointed out that Dud
ley's permit is' particularly val
uable because it allows him to
haul to any point in California
and not just to specific terminal
points.
Attorneys were instructed to
file briefs with the ICC, which
will render a decision later this
year.
