parent soviet desire for disarm
ament was not a symptom of
grave inner weakness. He said
that the Soviets were unlikely
to sacrifice anything they re
garded as truly vital in order
to get disarmament.
But on balance, he declared,
the Soviets would rather have
some disarmament than not
have it. Considerable conse
guences have since flowed from
the carefully qualified report of
AmDassador Bohlen.
For instance, it rather Imnnr.

A X XT i
mis moment, moreover,
the Bohlen opinion has the most
lively current significance. With
tne President's personal back
ing, Harold Stassen is leading
the American delegation to the
United Nations Disarmament
commission in order to do two
things at once. He is to resume
the general disarmament talks
which the U.N. commission has
carried on so long and so fruit
lessly. And infinitely more im
portant, he is to start bi-lateral,
special disarmament talks with
his Soviet apposite number. .
Stassen is ordered, in short.
to see whether the two giant
powers, working along and to
gether, cannot lay a practical
ioundation for further progress.
If the most expert and Qualified
American observer, Ambassador
Bohlen, believes that the So-
veits are serious in wanting a
measure of disarmament, then
these bilateral and special So-
vi et - American disarmament
talks cannot t regarded as a
mere empty obeisance to world
opinion.

Wants a New Column
To the Editor: I have a very
persistent idea concerning
need for a new column in our
newspaper. I feel many local
people need a little advice or
ideas on a variety of subjects
and many others long to be of
service to any one in such need
but there . is no means of the
two getting together. This is the
basis of true friendship; the
sharing of ideas. There are very
many people, especially new
comers who are virtually starv
ing for friendly contacts. Why
couldn't our newspaper act as
the "go between" to get people
acquainted by exchanging help
ful ideas.
What I am trying to say is
that this column should be con
ducted in such a way as to bring
people together who are inter
ested in the same things. People
could be encouraged to write in
concerning some "pet project
either offering or asking for sug
gestions without having their
names (initials perhaps) publish
ed. Readers would answer these
letters addressing them to, say,
Mr. B. R. and someone would
see that they got to the original
letter writer. These folks would
then -be "introduced" and then
on their own, shall we say. In
unity there is strength, of
course. Just as examples I will
tell you about my own interests
which will lie undeveloped un
less I can find others interested
who will aid me.
There are many people here
as everywhere, who create very
worthwhile things but have no
outlet for them. A group could
rent a small space, display their
creations and get them before
the public. Another is a Golden
Age Club for elderly and retired
folks to give them interest. Here
again unity could do the trick.
Also an airing of ideas for the
the man past 50 who must earn
a living but finds the employer's
doors closed to him.

Editorial Comment
A Freight Line Only
Down in California, SP Presi
dent D. J. Russell has told
group of Eureka business men
that the railroad may discon
tinue its overnight passenger
train service between the bay
area and Eureka, This has a fa
miliar sound here in Southern
Oregon
One different note was struck
in the announcement to the Eu
reka business men. While Mr.
Russell declared that the North
western Pacific, an SP subsid
iary, is losing $317,000 a year
on the overnight, train he said
discontinuance of that passenger
service would increase the line s
freight hauling service by 25 per
cent.
This statement relative to the
Eureka-bay area service is what
many have surmised really' lies
behind the railroad's action in
ending Ashland-Portland passen
ger trains.TThe passenger run
between this city-and Portland
was an operating nuisance for
the railroad as far as freight
movement was concerned. With
the passenger trains off the line,
it was clear for freight traffic,
desirable feature for the SP. J
It is becoming more and more
apparent that the Southern Pa
cific high-level policy is to
make it almost solely a freight
railroad, with the possible ex
ception of a few trains between
metropolitan centers. Aihland
Tidings.
That Freeway Route
To the Editor: Why should the
proposed new freeway through
Medford follow approximately
the route of Bear creek?
First, we gain an added
amount of business property val
ued at approximately $1,000,000.
Secondly, via other proposed
route, an equal amount of prop
erty would be destroyed.
We beautify Medford, follow
ing through Bear creek channeL
We destroy no property. We
eliminate filth and odor from
diseased and stagnant water. We
gain a shorter route. x
This plan has been rejected by
state highway engineers so far
as public opinion is concerned.
They have mentioned several
other plans such as Genes&e.
They have gone so far as to say
that following Bear creek by an
elevated freeway would be at a
lesser cost and ignored the plan
of putting it in the bottom of
Bear creek, while I believe a
school boy would have better
knowledge.
Medford would gain much
value in numerous ways by util
izing the creek channel. Our res
idential district is small and in
my opinion a freeway through
the East side would practically
destroy iis comfort and beauty.
By having any kind of a Free
way elevated above the ground,
we would have the crossing prob
lems, untold expense of inter
sections. We would have the
racket of heavy diesel trucks,
dirt blowing over near-by homes,
their view destroyed for the re
maining dwellings located near
the right of way.
Again I wish to bring out the
point there is plenty of room
under Main st. and Jackson st.
bridges for the largest Freeway
on the state highway, without
even touching either bridge or
interfering with the park, what
soever, and still we have plenty
of room for flood water under
the Freeway, all at a saving to
taxpayers of approximately $2,-000,000.-Rough
and conservative
figures can be given to anyone
who might be interested. Such
figures are based on savings of
right . of ways, legal expense,
forcing right of ways, property
damage to owners. By following
Bear Creek channel we gain
property roughly estimated at
$750,000, whereas the creek in
its present condition is hazard
ous and has been a continued ex
pense, to taxpayers fighting pests.
In my opinion, should this pro
ject be favored, there will be an
achievement that I believe evay
citizen of the county will appre
ciate, and I feel no one will have
a complaint. There should be no
noticeable noise as high walls
will have a tendency to muffle
the sound and catch blowing dirt
and dust, whereas, by running.
fast heavy trucks on an elevated
highway, there will be consid
erable noise and disturbance to
nearby residents.
Personally, I feel that we
would get a Freeway through
Medford with a gain of at least
one and a half million dollars,
rather than a tremendous loss.
