DST Appears Dead For the Time Being Salem - (UPD - The issue of daylight saving time in Ore gon appears to be dead for this session of the legislature. The Senate Committe on State and Federal Affairs Friday tabled a measure to submit the question of day light saving time to voters in the 1960 general election. Previously, a n emergency measure to put Oregon on fast time this Centennial year was killed on the floor of the House. The Senate State and Fed eral Affairs Committee also voted against Senate Bill 94 which would have increased basic school support from $105 to $120 per census child. Earlier, the bill had been favorably reported out by the Senate Education committee. Another measure to increase basic school support is being studied in the House.

Dr. Oscar Creech Jr., oi Tulane University, New Or leans, who disclosed these facts, had no explanation for the first beyond its obvious suggestion that the emotional mind, which is known to in fluence many body functions, can also influence the bodys relations with its own cancer ous parasite. Natural Chomlcal Defenses The second, Creech took as more confirmation of what practically all cancer doctors have to come to believe. The body has natural chemical de fenses against cancer just as it has against bacterial ' and virus diseases. Bacteria ana viruses rouse those defenses and further invasions by those particular bacteria or viruses are stopped cold. . Creech and other .-cancer surgeons, in briefing science writers on the newest in can cer research at a seminar sponsored by the American Cancer Society, agreed the de fenses exist and a thorough understanding of them could make them usable and go far in conquering cancer. That would lead to vaccines to prevent cancer. Cancer ex perts are convinced that can cer is not one disease but many, since cancer cells are so diverse and behave so dif ferently, and there would have to be many vaccines, one for each cancer disease. However, vaccines are far in the future. No one knows enough to make even one now. Creech's famous New Or leans surgical colleague, Dr. Alton Ochsner, reiterated to the science writers ,his now well-known belief that cig arette - smoking is a direct cause of lung cancer and the tremendous increase in cig arette smoking' by men since World War I, explains the great increase in lung cancer in men over that period. Prospect for Traffic, Earnings For Railroads Reported Better Editor's note: Tbe railroad indus try is picking up speed in the first half of 1959 along with the rest of the economy. Railroad reports are making much brighter reading than a. year ago although the industry still is beset with problems. By PETER T. EARLE UPI Correspondent New York-JUPD-The nation's railroads rolled through the first quarter of the year at increased speed but the pick up was not great enough to pull some of the Eastern roads out of the red. Over-all, the industry made a much better showing in the period than in any quarter last year and traffic and earn ings prospects for most roads in the second quarter are con sidered promising. The railroad industry, heav ily dependent on industrial activity, was one' of the indus tries hardest hit by the 1957 58 recession. Consequently, the industry has enjoyed an improvement in operations along with the recovery in general economic activity. Railroads in most areas of the country realized improve ments in revenues and earn ings in the first quarter. East-, em railroads such as the New York Central and Pennsyl vania ' succeeded in sharply reducing-but not eliminating -their deficits. Activity on Increase The bright spot in the in dustry's second quarter out look is the rising trend of activity in such heavy traffic producing industries as iron and steel, automobile, coal ,ore and construction. - The 13 regional advisory boards reporting to the Asso ciation of American Railroads estimated that freight carload ings in the second quarter of this year will run 12.4 per cent above 5,670,512 cars loaded in the same period of last year, when the recession hit its low. Loadings in the first quar ter of 1959 ran approximately 6. per cent ahead of a year ago, but trailed pre-recession levels by 10 per cent. Industry spokesmen pointed out that earnings comparisons for the first half of 1959 should be specially favorable for Eastern railroads, in view of their severely depressed J958 showing. In the first half of 1958, Eastern roads suffer ed a 64 per cent earnings drop. Much Working Capital -Working capital for the in dustry is at a very high level, reflecting in part economies of operation realized during the recession. However, the outlook still is for a conserva tive dividend policy pending a much sharper improvement in earnings.

Roosevelt bought in Israel last month, from entry into the United States. Mrs. Roosevelt purchased the camel for her 16-year-old granddaughter Nina and plan ned to ship it to her Hyde Park, N.Y., estate. L. C. Heemstra, director of the Animal Quarantine Divis ion, explained that U. S. law prohibits entry of domesticat ed animals from countries where hoof and mouth dis ease exists.

In the east, un profitable ferry runs have been eliminated. Industry observers pointed out, however, that every cut back in service forces more customers to competing forms of transportation. And there is an old axiom in the business that: "Freight traffic follows traffic." One of the big criticisms lev eled against the industry-espe-cially the big Eastern roads with their substantial com muter operations-is that they have been following a defeat ist attitude toward passengers which eventually may hurt their over-all freight volume. Interest in Mergers ' Railroads are showing more interest in mergers and some experts feel that 1959 may be an important year in this respect. There are 131 Class I railroads-those with annual revenues of $1 million or more -and many industry leaders have gone on record as saying there should be only 10 or so major railroad systems. "We have too many rail roads competing for too little business," is the way one spokesman summed it up re cently. A number of railroads also are contemplating a series of freight rate reductions in an from competing modes of transportation. The success of this bold attempt to regain lost traffic will depend on how the rate cuts are received by the Interstate Commerce Com mission in Washington.
