MONDAY. JUNE 20. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Boardman Work Will Mark Beginning of Revolution By DOUGLAS GRIPP Salem-UP1)-The first splash of concrete on 96,000 acres of sagebrush at the Boardman site in Morrow county will herald the beginning of an economic revolution in east ern Oregon. The state now has the au thority to acquire the federal bombing range and turn it into a space age industrial park for private industry. "Basically the path is clear," fays Robert Tarr of Portland, director of the Oregon Depart ment of Planning and De velopment. "But there are many details to be worked out. It may be months or a year before things really be gin to pop." The Navy is still using the area for bombing practice, as Jt has since 1956. It is desert like country, isolated, with some grazing land near the perimeter. One of the big drawing cards for industry is its nearness to the Colum bia river", meaning premium water transportation. There are hopes the indus trial park will have about seven miles of river frontage. -Area Remote . Another advantage for a missile-age operation is the area's remoteness. There is freedom from electronic inter ference while at thr same time rail and highway facili ties are available. The size also is important. The area, which would be enlarged to well over 100.000 acres, is one of the last of its kind in the nation for private develop ment. The Navy has agreed to re locate at a similar tract in Lake county after the state signs a Boardman customer. One of the biggest pros pects. Aerojet General Corp oration of Sacramento, Calif., has indicated that within a few months it will make its multi - million dollar decision on Boardman. - A possible 8,000-man rocket engine pay roll could make it the state's biggest single private employer. V- o o o o Great , straight... superb in mixed drinks! . vtv.v.v.v.v.'.v :: CORONET rj :: 71 HANDY OIST. CORP., 350 FIFTH AVE., N.y. CALIF. GRAPE BRANDV. S4 One knowledgeable source told United Press Internation al that a firm even larger than Aerojet has been in con tact about the Boardman site. No names were named. But whether one large firm settled there, or several small er ones, the development is certain to bring on a gigantic economic shove. Every city within 100 miles is excited about the possibilities. There is no organized op position to the development. Commission Formed Morrow County Judge Os car Peterson said the project is too immense for one county and a six -county planning commission has been formed including Morrow, Umatilla, Wasco, Gilliam, Sherman and Hood River counties. The first combined meeting of this group with state plan ners is June 22 at The Dalles. Judge Peterson predicts eventual growth of the Board man area at up to 400.000 people, approaching the size of Portland. Umatilla County Judge D. R. "Sam" Cook forsees a "recreation revolution" in eastern Oregon along with the industrial expansion. Pendleton, 42 miles away, is the closest good-sized city. Ted Smith, president of the Pendleton Chamber of Com merce, feels the expansion will be "dynamic, swift and will present plenty of growing pains" but the impact will be very positive. "We can't fathom the extent of the Board man development at this time but we know it's go ing to be tremendous." Seventy miles west of Boardman at The Dalles you hear the same thing. The port is the terminus of the Colum bia's deep draft channel and The Dalles could well become a supply and satellite industry mecca for Boardman. One civic leader comment ed: "We feel like we're sitting on an industrial powderkeg." Quotes From the News BY UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Washington Evangelist Billy Graham, addressing 16,000 persons at the opening of his eight day Washington crusade: We Americans are fiddling and playing while the world burns. Our consciences art hardened and our wills paralysed while we go merrily to hell. New York Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, reaffirming her sup port for Adlai E. Stevenson for president, by stating she has a respect for Sen. John F. Kennedy (Mass.): I know that one was asking a great deal of him (Ken nedy) to lake second place, but if he took it, and turned his vote over to Stevenson, I would have even more respect for him." Grossinger, N.Y. Mrs. Ebba Johansson, mother of heavy weight champion Ingemar Johansson, disclosing that as he heads for the ring for his title bout with Floyd Patterson tonight she will give him a swift kick in the pants: It is a, good luck custom in Sweden.
