The spokesman, Richard G. Montgomery Jr., stressed safety and economic factors that, he said, made concrete preferable to asphalt. . ' TTo glen rlrl Viic aiiifionon at the Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce roundtable that cement manufacturing is an Oregon "home industry" while asphalt is made else where. Montgomery's talk was one of a series, sponsored by , ce ment rfianufacturers in the state to advertise their prod ucts. c5The manufacturers are particularly Qnterested in a sizable share of the interstate highway construction program market. Montgomery pointed out that only 18 per cent of Ore gon's primary roads are made of concrete while the average percentage nationwide is 59 per cent. Concrete is more expensive for construction, Montgomery said. But, he added, its cheap er maintenance costs cause the two materials to come out even . within 20 years. Since modern concrete highways have a predicted life of 50 years, he said, concrete would prove more economical in the long run. While the federal govern ment is footing most of the construction bill for new in terstate highways, Montgom ery 5aid, the states must pay the e ntire upkeep. Hence, he stated, Oregon taxpayers would find concrete a better buy. Subject To Slides Montgomery made it clear that many highways should not be made of concrete-espe cially those subjected to slides or having pool subsoil. Con crete best proves its worth on highways such as the High wa y99 freeway where traf fic is heavy, he explained. As for safety, Montgomery said, better night visibility and high resistances) to .skidding make concrete more attractive to motorists. He stated that concrete re flects headlight beams to yield a better view of the road ahead. According to the Na tional Safety council, he said, concrete reflects light three to four times more than as phalt. Asked if he had any fig ures for comparative night ac cident rates on asphalt and concrete surfaces, he replied he did not. High resistance to skidding he explained, is achieved by brushing the wet concrete to produce a r-eugh surface. MontgomeryUsaid he had been told the Old Pacific high way between Medfprd and Central Point is the oldest concrete road in the state.

Quotes From the Hews . By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL New York-AFL-CIO President George MeanjO on "un friendly actions" by the federal government against labor: "You should think that we had com to a day of sanity. when there would be cooperation between Americans, if you please, Americans in overalls and Americans behind a desk.

Spiked Honey Said Way To Catch Bar Washington - (UPD - The di rector of the Washington Zoo believes that a bucket of spiked honey may be justt the trap to catch the capital's elu sive black bear. Dr. T. H. Seed, the zoo di rector, . was called in by po lice after numerous attempts to nab the 200-to-300 pound bruin failed. The animal first was spotted about a week ago. One of Reed's proposals was that a bucket of honey be put out somewhere near where the bear has been spotted. "The bucket of honey should be laced with a quart of good Irish whiskey. That would attract the bear, get him drunk and put him to sleep if he got enough of the stuff in him," Reed said. "All we'd have to do then is pick him up, put him in a cage and let him sleep it off. That's the way they do it in the national parks." INSURANCE MAN DIES Ridgewood, N.J. -UPD Wil fred Kurth, 83, a former chairman of the Home Insur ance Co., died Monday at a hospital here.
