0 O O Tuesday. Auguit 30, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Effects of Freeways on Communities in Oregon Will Get Thorough Study , : University Group To Conduct Survey For Interim Body Salem (U.B A thorough study of theffect of freeways on the communities they by-pass will be made by the University of Oregon School of Business Administration under terms of a contract approved yesterday by the Legislati Highway Interim committee." Deai Victor P. Morse of the school of administration and Dr. Weslie Ballaine, director of the school's BiJreau of Business re search outline to the commit tee a proposed plan of proced ure in riteking such a study. Sen. Warren McMinimee, Tilla- mook, Chapman of the Interim committee, and Sen. Charles W. Bingner of La Grande stressed that the study should be an in dependent one, dominated by no outside foice, including the In terim committee. They likened it to the rec&t study of highway taxes made by the Stanford Re search institute. Tf& study will distinguish be twe$i by-passes from which, the communityfcan be seen and by passes which are so far from the community it cannot be ften. An important phase of this sur vey will be the problem of ac cess. Included will be a gtudy of types of business firm adversely affected immediately upon open ing of a by-pass and types of business benefitted by by-passes. The proposal placed before the interim committee was to choose four to six well-informed com munity leaders in each town by passed. These mpht include a city official, a banker, a newspaper publisher, chamber of commerce president, and a realtor. William Tugman, Reedsport, publisher, told the Interim com mittee of the study being made by the State Park Advisory com mittee of which he is chairman. He said Oregon has "a magni ficent system of state parks. I doubt if any state in the union has its equal, and it is in excel lent condition. However, there is always room for improvement, and that is the task to which we have been assigiied." The advisory committee will make its finding known to the Interim committee, which is charged, among other things, with reporting on the state parks system to the 1957 Legislature. One of the problems'is a pau city of state parks in eastern Oregon, compared with the many on the coast. There are 53 state parks now on the Oregon coast. Tugman said probably one rea son was that several sites on the coast were donated to the state for parks because their owners gave them to the state before they knew their worth. Tugman's committee of 10 members will meet in Port land Oct. 15 to study the State Highway department's advertis ing program and C hold a hear ing on state parks. One or two other hearings will be,held else where in Oregon before the ad visory committee completes its study on state parks. Tugman . said "we hope to complete our study by soring and we will turn over the results to you Here for 3'esterday's Interim committee meeting-,, besides Sens. McMinimee and Bingner were Sen. Walter C. Leth of Mon mouth; and Reps. Robert L. Elf- gtrom, Salem; W. W. Bradeen, Burns; Fred Meek, Portland, and E. A. Littrell, Medford. Truman Says Administration Secretly Trying To Shift Tax Burden From Big Business To Individual Mackinac Island, Mich. (U.R) Former President Truman ac cused the Eisenhower adminis tration Monday night of secretly trying to shift the burden of taxes from big business to the individual. The former President, speak ing at a "strategy" conference of 800 Michigan Democrats, said the administration was working under cover for a national sales tax which would "cut the in come of government so the rich will have to pay fewer taxes." The former President said he was able to balance the budget twice while he was in office but his methods varied from current Republican attempts to do the same. "I got two tax raises , to bal ance the budget and then went out and licked the Republicans in a general election," he said. "The Republican idea of bal ancing the budget is to cut the income of government so the rich will have to pay fewer taxes.". He also accused the adminis tration of using "stealth and secrecy in trying to undermine TVA," and of "corruption, mis conduct and misuse of power" to promote the interests of "big business and the privileged few." . After completing his speech, the former President announced lip? I paw sj: There's nothing like it for beautiful, smoot room decoration.

C Fine Extends Wishes for Happiness To Schmidt, Una Petaluma, Calif. (U.R) Al- ford Fine, the young logger who was left out in the cold when Una Schmidt went back to her airman husband, was quoted to day as saying he wished them "nothing but happiness." "And that goes for all three of them, for Una, for Danny, and for Danny Jr.," Fine said in an interview with the San Fran cisco Call-Bulletin. The newspaper said it reached Fine in his auto trailer at an un disclosed spot here, 40 miles north of San Francisco. "It's been mighty tough since this thing broke," the 21-year- old Fine said. "I'm planning to go far away. I'll probably travel all over the United States before I can get over It." Fine revealed that the last time he saw Una was when she left San Francisco Airport to join Airman Daniel Schmidt at Portland. "I wished her well," Fine said. "I still love her , but I'm not going to do anything about try ing to get her back." Una claimed she married Fine thinking Schmidt had died in Lions Plan Sale To Aid Relief Fund The Crater Lions club Thurs day evening will conduct a sale of light bulbs with the proceeds going to the Red C?oss flood dis aster relief fund, a club spokes man reported today.

Gibson's troubles had just started when she was charged in municipal court with follow ing another motorist too closely. She then had to go home and face her husband, head of the police traffic division. a Chinese ' Communist prison camp. She and her 2V&-year-old son by Schmidt were living with Fine in a trailer camp in the High Sierra when Schmidt re turned from the Far East. Fine said he was "not bitter" about Una going back to Schmidt "but I certainly am broke up about it. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me," he said. "It's pretty tough, though. Pretty tough." , He was vague about the de tails of his marrige to Una, but he said they were wed in Mexico last September. "Lawyers are taking care of it," he said. he would leave today for his home in Independence, Mo., for a rest. . His speech here was the sec ond of his pre-election year cam paign "give 'em hell" speeches. Mr. Truman launched his speech with an attack on "special interests" in the current administration.- ' . . He said "we have seen many examples in the past two end one-half years of the govern ment's subservience to special interests. Those who fought the New Deal and. the Fair Deal so long and so stubbornly are now reaping their reward." He predicted the Democrats would win the presidency in 1956 because "a party which represents the privileged few rather than the many cannot long remain in power." "I have full confidence, 'he said, "that the people of the country have enough wisdom to find their way through the smoke screen of propaganda that is designed to fool them."
