Baldock Sees Need
For Public Pressure
To Pass Highway Bill
Salm U.R) Strong public 1
pressure in support of such a
highway program as proposed
by the Eisenhower administra
tion will be necessary if such a
bill is to be passed by the pres
ent session of Congress, R. H.
Baldock, Oregon state highway
engineer, said today.
Baldock, just back from Wash

Mormons Praised
For Relief Work
Sa Francisco (U.R) Pub
lisher Mark Peterson of the Salt
Lake City Dereset-News said to
day Bay Area members of the
Latter-day Saints church did
such a "magnificent job" in
flooded Northern California
that "none of our members will
have to accept one dime from
the Red Cross."
Peterson, also an apostle of
the church, stopped here after
completing a tour of the disaster
areas, particularly at Yuba City,
where church members had ask
ed for 175 men to help victims'.
"On the first day," Peterson
said, "5P0 reported from your
Bay Area. On four successive
days, between 500 and 750 men
showed up, doctors, lawyers,
merchants, plumbers, every sort,
in their own cars, carrying their
own shovels. .
Many of the men from here
took their wives. They were di
vided into crews of eight for
each house. The men did the
heavy work, then the women
moved in with mops to clean
up."
Peterson said they cleaned up
125 homes of church members
but helped many non-members
as well. He disclosed that about
200 Bay Area carpenters, plaster
ers, plumbers and other build
ing trades workers will donate
time durjng the next two 'weeks
for repair work.
Eugene Board Ready
To Acquire Easements
Eugene Eugene Water and

The board said up to $95,000
had been authorized for ease
ments, right-of-way clearance
and engineering costs. The line,
from the Leab'urg plant to the
dam site, will be about 25 miles
long.
The $37,000,000 power and
flood control project has been
approved for federal construc
tion. The water board, however,
hopes it will be reclassified as a
partnership development during
the current session of Congress.

Growers To Discuss
Forming Commission
A meeting of ladino seed grow
ers in Jackson county will be
held at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in

ity of forming a state ladmo
seed growers commission.
All growers who have planted
ladino in the past three years,
or who plan to grow the seed,
are invited, according to Coun
ty Agent W- B. Tucker. Only
those with a gross seed sale of
$500 within the past three years,
however, are eligible to vote, he

and later with key members of
Congress with respect to pass
age of an adequate road bill
early this session.
Compromise Seen Need
At first, Baldock said, he was
convinced that an adequate road
bill would be passed before
April, because it is supported by
the League of Municipalities,
the American Automobile asso
ciation and many other groups. '
"However," Baldock said,
"passage of such legislation is
possible only if a spirit of com
promise exists. - More detailed
investigation by our committee
revealed many jealousies and
fixed and unyielding opinions
about various features ' of the
bill, which combined with
strong opposition to the passage
of adequate highway legislation
by certain powerful groups,
forced the opinion that the type
of road legislation that the coun
try needs and expects may not
materialize this session."
Baldock said it would be a
fairly easy matter, to . reenact
legislation similar to the 1954
road act, under which the states
now are working, since no addi
tional taxes would be required.
But he said:
Bill Totally Inadequate
"Such a bill, however, is to
tally inadequate and will not
do the type of work needed for
the defense of America, the
growth ; of its economy, or the
safety of the motorist."
' Baldock is among those rec
ommending that the money for a
15-year program of federal high
way building be raised by these
methods: $500,000,000 from, the
general fund by reason of the
general interest of all the peo
ple in national defense; by add
ing one cent to the federal fuel
tax; ind by either borrowing
about $5,000,000,000 in short
term loans, or by placing ."across
the board" increased taxes on
tires, tubes, lubricating oil, and
by increased taxes on new
trucks, . buses and trailers. ,
Railroads Withdraw
Rate Cut Proposal
; Olympia U.R) Railroads
have withdrawn a proposal to
cut rates on Midwest meat pro
ducts shipped to the Pacific
Coast, the State Public Service
Commission said today.
A commission spokesman said
he received confirmation of the
action from an official of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. The
move came on a motion by the
railroads to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which had
scheduled a hearing on the mat
ter for Jan. 16 at Salt Lake
City.
The proposed 50 per cent re
duction in freight rates on meat
products had stirred up protests
from Washington cattle and
packing interests, who claimed
it would adversely affect the
producer and the cut would re
sult in "dumping" of meat pro
ducts on the Pacific Coast.
The PSC had been asked to
intervene on behalf of the Wash
ington cattlemen.
