Oregon high way officials today proclaim ed a sharp reduction in auto accidents between Portland and Salem since completion of the high-speed Baldock freeway. F. B. Crandall, traffic en gineer for the State Highway Commission, revealed that the freeway had an accident rate of a mere .65 per 100 million miles traveled. The rate on the slower Portland to Salem route had been 2.25 between Salem and Oregon City and 3.83 between Salem and Al bany. Eleven persons have been killed on the Baldock freeway since It was opened in 1954. The old Highway 99E had a death rate that jumped from 3.55 in 1953 to 9.58 last year. Speed limit on the new free way is 70 m.p.h. The Arab league was or ganized on March 22,1945. Texan Denies Effort To Influence Martin By Promoting Dinner Washington ilPi Oil man Roy H. Cullen said today that oil officials who honored House Republican leader Jo seph W. Martin Jr. at a con troversial fund-raising dinner did so because he is "fight ing for free enterprise" not to influence his support of the natural gas bill. Cullen, of Houston, Tex., is one of the nation's wealthiest men. In a letter to the Washing ton Post and Times Herald, Cullen said neither he nor most of the oil men who at tended the Martin dinner would gain much "money- wise by the outcome of the gas bill" in Congress. Couldn't Be Swayed Furthermore, he said, he did "not believe that the av- WEISFIELD'S INVITE YGDHJ TO SEE A DEMONSTRATION OF ACTUAL CUTTING AND POLISHING OF ROUGH DIAMONDS By MORRIS GLADSTE1N MASTER DIAMOND CUTTER Representing WEISFIELD'S of AMSTERDAM Diamond Cutting and Polishing Works IN OUR STORE ALL THIS WEEK erage oil man is idiotic enough to believe that Joe Martin could be swayed by money . . ." The dinner Cullen referred to was held in Houston and raised 5100,000' for the Re- puDiican party. Martin was the honor guest and feature speaker. In promoting the dinner, H. J. (Jack) Porter, Texas GOP national committeeman and oil man, sent out a letter hailing Martin as a friend of Texas oil and gas interests, Up to Martin It said Martin had "muster ed two-thirds of the Republi can votes in the house each time the gas bill passed" and that "it will be up to Joe Martin" to do the same - "in order to pass the gas bill this year." . The bill, which would free independent natural gas pro ducers from federal controls, has passed Congress twice but been twice vetoed once by former President Truman and once by President Eisen hower. In the furor that resulted from Porter's letter, the Re- nublican National Committee, with Eisenhower's approval refused to accept any of the proceeds from ' the Houston dinner. ftinpVeliv'' 'V ': -"?-f n,i jrfi-TMi mTmi SnlVtiii- iiiii "1 Morris Gladstein, 48 Years a .Diamond Cutter Yet, you are invited to see actual diamond cutting and polishing in our Medford store by a representative of Weisfield'i own diamond cutting and polishing plant ia Amsterdam, Holland.

TO Jffll SNIDER'S DAIRY "Daisyland" Montana Demosraf Would Put Nat ion's Capital in Eastern Montana Prairie Thursday, February 13, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Washington (IB Sen. James E. Murray said today if they don't stop messing around with Washington's na tuarl beauty, he's for moving the nation's capital out west. The venerable Montana Democrat added that, natural ly, if the seat of government is evacuated it should be re located, in his state. Murray is chairman of the Senate Interior Committee, which among other things has to rule on construction of new parkways in the District of Columbia. The senator, who has been in Congress since 1934, got to brooding over the freeways he feels have "ruined the magni ficent trees and palisades" along the Potomac. He ex pressed alarm over proposals for still more roads. Bill Considered "For some time I have con sidered a bill to move the capital out west, where the i climate would be much better I and the grandeur of the i Rocky Mountains might re-1 vive in the minds of govern- J ing groups some of the spiri- j tual and social values of the I founders of the republic," he j said. j "If Washington can no long- er handle traffic without pav- j ing parks and playgrouds, than I shall offer a bill to move the capital to Montana amid the Rockies." Murray said his threatened bill also would provide that the capital be set up in the sparse Eastern Montana prai ries where "roadbuilders can pave acras of flat land with a minimum of tree removal and bulldozing." Taking advantage of the fact that most Republicans are out of town this week making Lincoln Day speeches, the senator suggested what could be done with Washing ton if the capital went west. Could Be Museum He said the city could be preserved as a "national mu seum Tvhere students could study the early history of our nation as well as prehistoric things like the mastodon bones at the Smithsonian In stitute and Republican eco nomic policies." . Because of the heavy Lin coln week traveling Republi cans were difficult to find for comment on Murray's ideas. But Sen. Wallace F. Ben nett (R-Utah) said "If we do go to the trouble of moving the capital out west it would be a mistake to settle for any thing less than the very best location which is, of course, Utah." Rep. William S. Mailliard (R-Calif.) said "the recent weather in Washington has been cold enough to prompt some to suggest moving the capital elsewhere preferably to San Francisco," he said. Chains Necessary For Austin Travel Salem tlP) Seven inches of new snow made chains a must for travel to Austin, the State Highway Department reported today.

Icy spots were reported in roadways at Siskiyou, Ochoco summit, Klamath Falls, Quartz mountain, Lakeview, Seneca and Burns.

The plan, announced Wednesday night after a con ference of Gov. Averell Har riman and Mayor Robert F. Wagner and education of ficials, 'calls for: Establishment within 30 days of four additional special schools for 600 to 800 school age hoodlums and other prob lem children. A State Education De partment study, beginning Friday, of the city's needs for other special classes and pro vision of additional state money if necessary. Development in coopera tion with labor unions . of a combination work-and-study setup for some students un der which they would have part-time jobs. But Harriman said there would be no change in present child labor or compulsory education laws. Immediate search for space for an additional 200 to 250 delinquents in custodial institutions, through expen diture of more state funds if necessary. Staff investigators for the special Senate subcommittee on juvenile delinquency meanwhile arranged for further interviews with school officials, teachers; par ents, police and students to determine whether federal aid is needed by the city in combating classroom terror ism. Farm Loan Group To Share Dividend The Southern Oregon Na tional Farm Loan association is shargin a $2,525.80 dividend with its 188 farmer and ranch er stockholders in Jackson and Josephine counties, F. E. Bowman, secretary-treasurer, announced this week. The $2,525.80 dividend is part of a $313,392 dividend paid by the Federal Land Bank of Spokane to 65 north west national farm loan as sociations which own all of its capital stock. On Nov. 30, 1957, the bank's capital stood at $7,834,815, of which $63, 145 was owned by the South ern Oregon association. Bowman said that since 1944 the Spokane bank has paid out more than $3,500,000 in dividends which represent savings it has been able to effect over and above its op erating expenses and needed reserves. Being a cooperative, these savings have been shared with its borrowers through their local national farm loan association. Greenwood, Miss.
