WEDNESDAY. MAY 2. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Rapid Transit Interest Revived In Major Cities New York - IUPB - Amid the talk in transport circlei about railroads' economic problems, and kindred arguments over what to do with the auto in the big i'.ty, a few persons to day are talking about a re vival of interest in rail rapid transit for metropolitan areas. Major cities long have recognized the planning head aches which developed when most of a generation of work ers in a growing population took to the highway, within city limits and across them, to BO to and from work. Besides the highway, parking and gen eral traffic problems, there were fiscal difficulties, crea tion of major highway sys tems often has meant cutting through areas which once gave a retig-n in taxes. Attention Necmiry Among those talking about the revived attention to rail rapid transit planning there is no thought that an anti-auto mobile trend is likely. But they find indications, they said, that attention must be given to rail systems of mass transportation. MoSern Railroads, a mafia zine published in Chicago, re norts that 10 of 15 mninr U.S. and Canadian cities ha ac tive plans for new subway or uuier run ivpia iiaiisu systems. The magazine said 'that where highways may quickly become saturated with auto mobiles, particularly in the morning and evening rush hours, the rapid transit lines usually have reserve capacity for meeting the demands ol additional passengers. The author of the article, engineer ing editor Edward T. Meyers, said the need for balanced transportation, giving every one a choice, is necessary in the urban centers, but the need for public transportation grows as the population grows 0 Big Expenditures Seen Thomas C. Gray, vice presi dent and engineering chief of the passenger car division of Pullman-Standard, builder of railway rolling stock, said he believes more than a billion dollars will be spent in the next 10 years or transit and commuter type vehicles. He made this forecast six months ago; recently he said he thought he may have erred -on the cSiservatlve side, w Gray said metropolitan New York probably will spend a quarter of a billion on pas senger rolling stocfc in the next five years; San Francisco and Los Angeles together may spend well over $100 million. Boston has ordered $10 mil lion in new subway cars. v. ' .... . .... -....! . Uk V'- i fT ' ' - , ' ' ' i" i. . .. " " mjMAfi . j n eiiTmi Ml? fnVliilfeMMii eV i . ..

UPl) Rock Hounds Meet At Crater Museum "What's in a ium:" Is the question that was (lecided at a special class of southern Oregon members of the NW Federation of MineraTogical Societies at the Crater Rock Museum near Central Point last week. The argument centered around the name of a form of white quartz found exclusive ly in this area, which has been called Medfordite. It is a distinct variety with deli cate green markings and is sought by collectors gener ally. The meeting was called by Mrs. Helen M. Rice, of Hills boro, a federation authority on rules and terminology re quired for exhibiting at shows. Owing to the increasing number of new types of min eral and gem stones being unearthed, and the ftndency to name them gfter the place where they are found, the federation has decided to judge material in competition according to classifQation and not location in future. Popularity of collecting and finishing stones and minerals of various kinds as a hobby today is attested by the 8,000 members of the NW Federation. There are about 40,000 in the American Federation.

Private Timborftndi The private timberland owners will expend the other $3,35.800 on their forest acreage.

Phipps pointed out that of the $6,471,000 budgeted, the general public will contribute approximately $1,357,000 to ward the cost of protecting Oregon's forest lands. Of this, about $560,000 will come from the state general fund for the conservation activities of the department and the fire protection administrators in the field .Another $562,000 will be federal funds which are allotted under the Clarke McNary act, the forested add- jed. Oregon citizens also sup port a bond issiifl which pro vides $275,000 that are used in the rehabilitation of state lands.
