golden anniversary convention
was an address by Vice-President

need for moral as well as eco
nomic strength to halt the march
of communism. He pointed out
that the men in the Kremlin, who
ar responsible only to them
selves, will be on trial before
the whole world during the cur
rent Summit meeting at Geneva.
This conference could be the
world's last chance to settle dif
ferences peacefully, Nixon told
Rotarians.
The Chicago Symphony or
chestra and Purdue University
glee club entertained at the con
vention. America's Town Meet
ing of the Air was broadcast, and
numerous balls and parties were
held. There are now 8,715 Kotary

Rail Car Shortage Plan Gets Warning
Portland (U.R) K. C. 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. "The changes advocated,"
; The Panama Pacific Inter
national Exposition opened in
San Francisco Feb. 20, 1915.
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. McRae,
Prineville, and Harley Young,
Portland, have been installed in
their respective offices of presi
dent, vice-president and secre
tary of the state association of
the OAPA. E. G. "Ted" Som
mer, Ashland, was elected gover
nor for this district during the
convention.
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.

Threatened by Break
Coquille (U.R) Coquille yes
terday faced a serious water
