The advantages of concrete
over asphalt for heavy-duty
highway construction were
discussed here yesterday' by
a spokesman for Oregon's ce
ment indjtstrv.
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.
Well, that doesn't seem to be in the cards. A declaration of
war seems to be the answer, and if that's it I guess we will
have to take it." ' .. O
Galveston, Tex.-Sen. Russell Long (D-La.) on his uncle,"!
Gov. Earl K. Long of Louisiana, undergoing psychiatric treat
ment: ,
"I think most of the people are now in sympathy with the
governor. He became sick fighting iSi the common man."
Los Angeles-Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) on whether
he would accept the Democratic nomination for president in
1960:
"Of cour&I would! Politics is my business and the presi
dency is the highest honor the people can bestow."
Washington-President Eisenhower, on receiving the cre
dentials of Thailand's new ambassador:
"Tfae historic friendship which has developed between
Thailand and the United States forms a lasting' foundation

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."
