All dates and times given are those of the tour points involved. The President will leave Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington early June 12 aboard his jet transport plane. ' Arriving at Anchorage, Alaska, he plans to rest at El- mendorf AFB. He leaves Alaska early June 13. Next stop is Wake Island June 14 for refueling. Almost imme diately the Chief Executive will leCve for Manila. Plans call for a three-day stop there. Next on the schedule is Better Highways Group Slates Pfogfafii jifo Washington (UPil A newfic congestion means millions Organization intends to do omething about the nation's pathy toward its highway needs. .It is called the Better High ways Information Foundation (BHIF) and on July 1, it be gins its mammoth task of pub licizing the need for good toads throughout every state. BHIF is directed by George M. Foster, currently execu tive director of the Indiana Stale Highway departmeid and a veteran of 40 years ex perience in highway work. Foster bluntly declares that the average American is too apathetic toward the road problem. All Types of Roads "He simply has no idea of what an adequate highway program means to him in terms of saving lives, money and time," Foster told United Press International in an interview. By adequate highways, Fos ter emphasized he refers to all types of roads not only the superhighways but the secondary roads as well. "Too many people think the Federal Highway Act of 1956 was a cure-all," Foster said. "It no only wasn't a cure-all but it falls far short of our needs." He cited U. S. Bureau of Public Roads' figures which Show that as of Jan. 1, I960, only 2,790 miles of the 41,000 mile interstate highway sys tem were completed to full, ac.epted standards. Another 2;520 miles also were com pleted but will need moderni zation bv 1976. A third com pleted category involves 2,260 miles of toll roads. Foster said this adds up to J8.5 per cent completion of the interstate system, with only 4,770 miles currently under construction. To Spread Messages The new organization will try to get its support from government, patriotic, civic, safety and other groups through which It will spread its messages, Those messages will dwell mainly on the theme that good roads save lives, money and time. Typjcal ammuni tion: Coilt More in Long Run Lives Federal figures show that highways meeting inter state highway system stand ards have reduced accidents by two-thirds and cut deaths in half. One n)j)dern highway in Virginia has a fatality rate of 0.8 deaths per million ve hicle miles; an adjacent older highway has a fatality rate of 10.6 more than 13 times greater. Money - Not building good roads costs more in the long run than bujlding them. Traf- i OF CARS COST IS IN FRONT AND BAu. WINDOWS1. INSTATE FARM 9- , - i -,4 WAtl fV w M w .vtV4 r' ;s. . Cmb Public Apathy of dollars in wasted gas and higher accident rates. A mod ern highway in New England, with controlled access design, had an accident rate that cost $19,000 per mile each year. An obsolete road in the same area had an accident rate that cost $82,000 per mile. In 15 years, the annual $63,000 saved on every mile of the newer highway would be Asian Population Increase Presents Staggering Tokyo -IUPH- There will be another billion Asians by 1980 and the job of caring for them is staggering to con template. If these billion more Asians were to live on a standard comparable to the Japanese, which is low by Western standards but high by Asian standards, here are some of the tilings that would be needed: Three hundred million houses; 10 million hospital beds; 120,000 primary schools (1.000 pupils to a school); 10 billion gallons of water daily; 1 trilliim kilowatts of elec tricity; 82 million tons of rice a year; 10 million tons of wheat a year; 180 million tons of vegetables a year; 60 mil lion tons of fish a year; 13 million tons of meat a year. More Garbage There would be 454.000 more tons of garbage a day to be disposed of and there would have to be thousands of miles of new roads and parks. All of this, of course, is in addition to what is being pro duced now. Faced with such demands, it Is small wonder that gov ernment planners are pessi mistic about the future. Fam ine, history's most persistant enemy in Asia, is bound to in crease, especially in Red China and parts of southeast Asia as well as on the popu lous Indian sub-conlinent. There seems to be almost no answer to the Asian popu lation explosion. Not even a realistic birth control pro gram in India, China, and southeast Asia - which isn't likely - could solve all the problems. Medical science has en abled thousands to live who a generation ago would have died. And Asians are living longer. Malaria control, for example, has saved and pro longed thousands of lives. $303 is the cost of fust the windshield ind rear window in one of our major at makes.

Eisenhower will fly to Okinawa June 19 and to Tokyo the same day. He is to spend two full days in Japan. Eartjy June 22 he flies to Seoul, Korea. Later the same day the President leaves Korea and after a refueling stop at an air base outside Tokyo, flics to Honolulu. The President is to rest at the U. S.

Time - A large company which began using the New York Slate Thruway instead of older routes found thai its trucks averaged 10 miles per hour faster, made 298 fewer gear shifts, slopped 69 fewer times, and saved nearly four and a half hours per round trip. Problem The life-span of the average Indonesian is 20 years longer than it was 20 years ago. The projections on , Asia's population 20 years hance are made in a United N lions study titled "The Popu lation of Asia and the Far East, 1950-80.", Density Fantastic This study shows that Asia and the Far West comprise only about one-sixth of the world land areas, but their percentage of population by 1980 will be S5 per cent-up from 51 per cent in 1920 and about 53 per cent in 1950. The density of population is fantastic-70 persons per square kilometer (.3861 square miles), compared with nine in the Soviel Union, North America and Latin America and 15 on the aver- ago in the rest of the world The U.N. study estimates that the rropulation of Asia will rise from 1,317100,000 in 1950 to 2,268.000,000 in 1980 with the highest rate of growth in southeast Asia. l: ii Now!

He ad dressed the Medford Kiwanis club Wednesday at its noon luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club. Glascock described the for ests as "a hidden mainspring j which makes the Valley tick.

Such foresters, he said, resist special interest pressures which seek to man age resources for the good of a few. Study will show the forest industry of the valley in a' new and clearer light as a friendly, responsible, progres sive and civic minded indus try, Glascock staled. He said that the industry is interested in fishing and hunting, scoti- j cry, and high quality water, pure air, retirement homes, sustained jobs and tax rev- j enues as well as profits. New Understanding "You see a new industry i still haunted to some extent by facl and fancy about its past but resilient, self-appraising and rtclffniined to perpetuate itself," Glascock declared. He said that the in dustry, rather than try to run off competing forest uses, works to accommodate them while improving its own prac tices.
