Batch elder, traffic manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's asso ciation, yesterday warned that proposals by some Oregon ship pers for changes in handling of freight cars . through Portland would not bring extra cars into the state during periods of short age.

Valley Accountants Elect New Officers Officers for the Rogue Valley chapter of the Oregon Associa tion of Public Accountants for 1955-56 were elected during the chapter's monthly dinner meet ing held at the Jackson hotel last night. R. A. Brewer, Medford, was elected chapter chairman; Leo Sohler, Ashland, was elected vice-chairman, and Fred E. Kruggel Jr., was elected secre tary. It was announced at the meet ing that Robert D. Benjamine, Grants Pass, R. P.

Batchelder said, "might actually operate to divert cars away from this state which might normally come here from northern lines." "Some shippers had proposed that the ICC order freigh cars off northern lines in Washing ton onto the Southern Pacific line during car shortage periods and that Oregon shippers be per mitted to order cars direct from northern lines. Batchelder said the first pro posal would not work because when Southern Pacific was short, there was generally a simi lar shortage on northern lines. He said the proposal to enable Oregon shippers on the South ern Pacific to order cars direct from northern lines could be interpreted as discriminatory. He said discrimination could result from permitting shippers off one line to order cars in competition with its own ship pers,' or from permitting ship pers to accept more than the quota of their neighbors.

But the break was located and repaired by 9 p.m. and city en gineer Mike Huddleston said the water supply would return to normal.
