"Let Them
No one would expect the Southern Pacific, or any
other public utility, to serve this community or any
other at a loss.
And no public utility would do so for long. Take
Copco, for example. How lone would Copco furnish
Medford and Southern Oregon with light and power
if it lost money in doing
so?
But if Copco should make a 10 profit on its
total operations in this section of the state, yet its
service to Eagle Point on power, for example, showed
a loss, would it depnve
increase its net revenue?
UEDOUBTi
v We doubt-if it
would allow it.
For the responsibility of a monopolistic public
utility, does not consist solely of making money. It
assumes through its possession of a franchise a, cer
tain obligation of public service.
And the public utility commissions were originally
organized to see that this service is properly rendered,
and at a reasonable price.
PUT if the S.P. determination to abandon all pas
senger service in' Southern Oregon, north and
south, because it fails to make, a profit on same is
sustained, then the time-honored principle of this
obligation "public convenience and necessity" is
entirely repudiated and thrown intothe ash-can.
'"THE S.P. may make a net profit of a million dollars
a year or a month for that matter out of this
growing and fertile portion of Oregon from Eugene
to the California line. But it will be allowed to in
crease that profit by half a million dollars, by de
priving this section of all passenger service a service
that the district has enjoyed and become accustomed
to for over half a century
is allowed, and the service discontinued.
In short no account is taken by the , SP, and its
supporters, of what this community gives the South
ern Pacific in profits, only what the large and exceed
ingly prosperous railroad fails to get in one operation,
of ONE third-rate passenger train to Portland and
return.
THE fact is noted by the SP that on an average only
20 passengers have been taken north and 18
south, daily. Well that isn't a great number we admit
and a profit on that basis may be as impossible, as
the SP financiers claim.
But it might be noted in passing that the total is
38, every 24 hours every day in the year, so the grand
total comes to approximately 14,000 who have been
served annually, in the passenger service the railroad
wants to abandon. 3
We grant that doesn't represent a high percentage
in the books of this "billion dollar corporation," but
not so long ago that number
of Medford, and probably now exceeds the population
of every other town in the area served. It is also
reasonable to believe these residents would not have
taken the train if they could have or wanted to
avail themselves of other means of transportation.
So if this service is discontinued how will they
get to Portland, or from Portland to Medford if and
when they so desire? - . : :
That may worry them. But it doesn't worry the
S.P., not if they fail to get their desired profit out
of it! As Marie Antoinette once observed, they can
eat cake" or perhaps some of them can hitch-hike!
. . .. .- ; ' R.W.R.
Money Isn 't Everything
Characteristically the Oregonian, always with its
eye on the cash register, goes all out in its praise and
defense of the high and mighty Southern Pacific, in
this passenger controversy.
This cutting off passenger service it says may be
regretted by certain whistle-stop communities, but
the trend will not be slowed by words, only by "fare
money pushed through the windows." Its the dollars
that counts!
. i :
TN FACT passenger service between Eugene and
A Ashland, the Oregonian believes, was doomed
since the buildincr of the Natron "cut-off " tfio mnth
through Medford since then has been not only merely
"a hranrh lino V riit if to. "elrvnr knmiur j
even modern light-weight Diesel railcars could not
provide satisfactory service and "lure Tin seen oror traf
fic away from the airlines." That is the S.P. argument
dutifully adopted by the Oregonian.
WE WONDER if the railway experts on the Ore
TT gonian have ever taken the Western Pacific
Dome car train "Zephyr" from San Francisco to Chi
cago via Denver?
That route is, certainly as circuitous and uneven
as any in the country, the road bed as a whole can't
compare in quality and stability with SP's "branch
line." And yet through extensive advertising, promo
tion and modernization, including Diesels, this rail
road has made a great success of this crack passenger
train, and we don't believe even if it showed a deficit
now and .then the train would be abandoned.
In fact if the SP theory of "let the public be
damned" is upheld and should be followed by other
railroads there would be wholesale abandonment of
service particularly suburban and interurban pas
senger service, all over the country for it is doubtful
much if any passenger service is profitable per se. The
freight and collateral profits however more than
make up for the loss, particularly where the railroad
leaders think there is a monetary value in good will
and good public service, as well as in the almiehty
dollar. R.W.R.

Casablanca Situation
May Be Embarrassing
To West at Geneva
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The ugly situation which has
developed in French Morocco
may prove embarrassing to the
Allied negotia
tors in Geneva.
Premier Edgar
Edgar Faure
who represents
France at the
"summit" con
ference, is be
ing closely ad
vised of the sit
uation. A represent
ative of the
Moroccan inde
dendence par
Cfeaxles McCana
ty has cabled President Eisen
hower asking him to demand
that France stop the "massacres"
in Casablanca, the Moroccan
capital.
Morocco is not on the program
for discussion in Geneva, nor
are French North Africa and the
"colonial" situation in general.
. But when President Eisen
hower suggests that Soviet Rus
sia permit its satellites to choose
their own forms of government,
it seems logical to believe that
Premier Nikolai ' R. Bulganin
would think even if he did not
say "why not Morocco, too?"
It seems logical, too, that lead
ers in Arab countries, other Mos
lem countries and all those who
denounce "Western colonialism"
would think that Morocco is in
creasing world tension.
The situation in Morocco start
ed to get really hot on June 11,
when the French editor of a
Casablanca newspaper was as
sassinated by fellow. French
men because he favored Mo
roccan home rule.
Things started to get explosive
last Thursday. Then French peo
ple in Casablanca were celebrat

tional holiday, when native ter
Matter of
IKE AT THE SUMMIT
? Washington If all eoes well.
history will probably record the
summit meeting at ueneva as tne
moment when
President Eis
enhower first
strongly assert
ed his personal
leadership in
foreign pohcjf
m a king. The
question is
simply whether
the President
wiU follow his
own creative
Joseph Alsop
inclinations or
will stick to the official adminis
tration line.
Until the verv moment when
the American delegation left for
ueneva, the official approach to
the summit meeting continued to
be extremely negative at least
every level below the White
Hous level. Immense numbers of
position papers" were labor
iously prepared. But essentiallv.
the aim was to prevent anything
awiul happening at the summit,
rather than to make something
gooa Happen there.
Most of -the position papers
took the form: "If the Soviets
make move A concerning Ger
many, then we must make move
a to secure a checkmate." Fur
thermore the decision was taken
to try to avoid talking about one
of the two vast problems that are
the real keys to any true interna
tional settlement, and to avoid
taking any solid American posi
tion whatever on the other.
On an honest assessment, all
European and all economic ques
tions pale into perfect insignifi
cance when compared with the
question in the Far East and the
question of disarmament. The
Far East is the dace where inter
national Communism is on the
march today, and there can be no
real world settlement until it is
known where this onward march
will be finally halted. Disarma
ment aoove au demands decis
ions about the absolute weapons;
and there can be no end of the
fear that haunts the world until
the world knows what is to be
done about the H-bomb.
Yet the aim of Secretarv nt
State John Foster Dulles and the
other "official policy makers is
not to discuss the Far Eastern
question at Geneva if it is pos
sible to dodge doing so. In the
preparatory meetings, the Brit
ish and French were requested to
cooperate in this Dolicv of si
lence. They agreed, somewhat re
luctantly, to do their best to keep
the topic of the Far East out of
the Geneva talks.
'
BY the same token, for weeks
before the President's depar
ture for Geneva,, the Administra
tion was riven by a first-class
row about the right approach to
the disarmament question. The
Pentagon (which means the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, for Secretary of
Defense Charles E. Wilson has
not interested himself in the mat
ter) is undyingly opposed to a
serious disarmament effort. The-
disarmament talks .that have
taken place to date have aroused
no Pentagon opposition because
they were thought to be mean
ingless. But the Pentagon is up
4
rorists exploded a bomb on the
terrace of a Casablanca cafe. Six
persons were killed and 35
wounded.
The next day the French
turned out. They had watched
with growing resentment the at
temnts of Gilbert Grandval. the
new resident general of Moroc
co, to start a program 01 in
creased home rule. Now they ran
riot.
They looted, burned and
lynched in the Medina, the na
tive quarter of Casablanca.
Dailv Riotina
Since then there has been
rioting each day involving
Frenchmen and Moroccans.
Grandval has imposed martial
law. Tanks have fired on mobs.
French authorities estimate that
up to 200 persons . have been
killed.
firandval took two . drastic
steps yesterday in hope of stop
ping the rioting.
First he started a purge of the
police force, accusing it of inef
ficiency in combatting, riots, es
pecially of failing to check the
French mobs. He fired the Casa
blanca police chief, a French
man. Second, Grandval put two
leading French politicians on a
plane and sent them to Paris.
They are Marcel Mattei and Jean
Cambiazo. Mattei is secretary
general of , the "Union for the
French Presence in Morocco."
This powerful organization,
which has important parliamen
tary support in France, is fight
ing home rule. Cambiazo was
accused of complicity in foment
ing riots.
Grandval arrived in Morocco
as the new resident general on
July 7. He faces a tough job, if
not an impossible one. But if he
can just get the situation quiet
ed down for the duration of the
Geneva conference, he will have
accomplished something.
Fact by joPh ai
in arms now, because serious dis
armament talks seem to be a pos
sibility.
On the other side of the battle,
Harold Stassen, whom the Presi
dent has charged with personal
responsibility as the American
disarmament policy maker,
fought long, hard and obstinately
for permission to take his dis
armament plan to Geneva as the
American government's plan." It
is a bold plan, although, it is per
haps not sufficiently worked out
in detail. At any rate, the State
Department took the stand that
Stassen's homework was not fin
ished, and this tilted the balance
against Stassen.
As. a result, a British disarma
ment plan is being taken to Gen
eva and so is a Soviet plan: but
A . . . !
no American pian is Deing taken
there. It is even doubtful whether
Stassen himself will be nec-
mitted to play a Geneva role. To
his bitter chagrin, he was not
included in the official delega
tion. He left for Paris as an "un
official observer," with the ques
tion still open . whether ' Paris
would or would not be his final
stopping place.
All sorts . of indications have
been seeping out of the White
House, however, that this, ex
tremely negative approach by no
means suits President Eisen
hower's current mood. It is clear,
in fact, that the President would
like to talk turkey with the
Soviets if the Soviet leaders show
the slightest sign of wanting to
taiK turkey with him.
so far, the Soviets have shown
all sorts of signs of wanting to
taut turkey with Eisenhower.
The inclusion of his friend, Mar-
snai Zhukov, in their delegation
is only one of these signs. Contin
ual hints have been dropped in
Moscow, in fact, about the ex
treme desirability of informal,
man-to-man and private contact
between the President and the
Soviet chiefs.
TifEANWHILE, the President's
7 inclination to try to do busi
ness with the Russians has also
been considerably strengthened
by the report of Charles E. Boh
len. Bohlen has stated that the
Russians really do want some
sort of settlement or relaxation
of tensions, not so much because
of crippling inner weaknesses in
the Russian system, but because
the Soviet leaders have also look
ed down the dark perspective
opened by the H-bomb, and have
been terrified by what they saw
there.
Altogether the chances are
pretty good that the pettifogging
position papers will be torn up;
that the negative approach wttl
be abandoned; and that the Presi
dent will make a bold, honest
and creative effort to find the
beginning of a basis for agree
ment. If the President allows
himself to be himself in this man
ner, the summit meeting will in
deed become a great occasion,
whatever its final result may be.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
This piece along with others
to follow it at intervals is a
notebook summary of thoughts,
comments" 'and reflections in
spired by another of these offi
cial inspections of Oregon's high
ways and state parks.
This one covers northeastern
Oregon up the Columbia to
Boardman, where Highway 30
leaves the Great River of the
West, through Pendleton to La
Grande, thence up to remote and
beautiful Wallowa lake in re
mote and beautiful Wallowa
county, back to La Grande,
thence along Highway 30
through Baker to Ontaria, on
the Snake, back up the canyon
of the Malheur to Burns, then
in a southwesterly direction to
Lakeview and from there back
to Portland by way of the Fre
mont highway, the Warm
Springs cutoff and the Mount
Hood loop a round trip dist
ance of some 1500 miles. .
The -personnel , includes the
Oregon highway commission and
a staff of engineers, a segment
of the state parks advisory com
mittee, a quorum of the legisla
tive highway interim committee
and representatives of the fed
eral, bureau of roads and the
federal forest service both of
which cooperate in the financing
of Oregon's highways.
THE route from Portland fol
lows the new Banfield ex
pressway, leading into the new
Columbia highway. This express
way is 14 miles long and when
completed will cost $16,000,000,
of which $10,000,000 will be for
construction and $6,000,000 - for
right-of-way. ; ,
Pretty stiff for right-of-way?
True enough.
But it's wide and roomy, en
gineered for the future. And the
right-of-way included some pret
ty valuable real estate. :
MORAL for Oregon's smaller
cities:
Get the plans made now for
your FUTURE system of wide,
through streets, freeways and
expressways to handle the traf
fic of the future. The right-of-way
will cost lot less now than
if you wait.
It was because Portland wait
ed too long that the right-of-way
for the Banfield expressway cost
so much.
OUT
Oregon's smaller cities will
pay
We won't ever get big enough
to warrant such fabulous things.
LET'S not fool ourselves.
GREAT GROWTH lies ahead
of the cities of Oregon and Far
Northern CaliforniaThe popula
tion congestion that , started in
Southern California is moving
steadily northward along the Pa
cific Coast which vis Ameri
ca's most favored region. Travel
to the East and talk to people.
East of the Rockies, two out of
four of those you talk to will tell
you they're going to live in the
West or else.
We'd all better start making
plans now for growth. Right-of-
way for the wide through streets
and highways that future traffic
will demand is cheaper now than
it will ever be again.
FINANCIAL note:
The new Columbia highway
from Troutdale, in the edge of
Portland, to The Dalles will cost
$37,500,000.- Back in 1917, after
a campaign that stirred the state
to its bottom dregs, the people of
Oregon voted a bond issue of
$6)00,000 which we thought
then would build all the roads
we'd ever need.
Time marches on.
And as it marches on it calls
for more and more and MORE of
such modern necessities as roads.
It wiU be that 'way as long as
America remains a DYNAMIC
growing nation.
OPTIMISTIC thought:
It's easier to find the hun
dreds of millions we need now
than it was back in 1917 to find
$6,000,000. .... ,
OUR roads get steadily better
and safer.
You doubt the statement that
our highways get steadily safer?
Wait a minutes. Try to imagine
the traffic of today on the high
ways we built with the first
$6,000,000.
They were narrow and rim
of curves. Many of the curves
were put in on purpose. The cars
of that day wouldn't go much
faster than 20 mph, and the en
gineers thought (probably with
reason) that long straightaways
would be so tiresome that driv
ers ; would fall asleep out of
sheer boredom. So they put in
the curves to keep people in

should ask a girl how well she
can cook before he marries her."
writes a feminine subscriber. "I
suggest a young woman ask a
man, how well he can support
her before she risks her happi
ness with him. Now about three
fourths of married women have
to work in offices or factories
to even afford the privilege of
eating good food. When are these
working wives supposed to cook
those delicious meals? After they
have worked hard eight hours on
some lob or on week ends while
they are cleaning house, wash
ing and ironing so they can go
back to 'work, on Monday. Or
perhaps you were referring to
the lucky -few wives who can
stay home and be properly sup
ported by, their husbands.".

to the next Democratic conven
