Colored Guideposls Assist Motorists On Oregon Freeways Salem "Color coded" guideposts along Oregon's freeways are helping motor ists find on and off ramps more easily, even in foul weather and darkness, ac cording to the state highway department. The normal white wink of reflectors mounted atop white guideposts now changes to yellow reflectors on yellow posts where lanes enter ' or leave the freeways. The guideposts are placed just off the highway shoul ders and are used in mark the roadway and guide mo torists around curves. Until recently, all reflectors mount ed on the posts were clear colored and reflected a white light when headlight beams struck them. Under the new system, yel low reflectors replace the white ones at the beginning ol a deceleration lane where the freeway widens to allow motorists to reduce speed be fore exiting via an off ramp. The entire exit path is lined Willi guideposts bearing the yellow reflectors, but the con tinuation of the freeway is marked with the clear white reflectors. The same system is used for the on ramps and accelera tion lanes - yellow along the on ramp, changing to white where the lane merges with Hie freeway. The color coding is also carried into daytime usage because Oregon paints its guideposts white and yellow to correspond to the color of the reflector. It is Included in the original signing of all new (if way projects in Ore gon. Other sections of high ways are being changed to the system as part of highway department maintenance.

SHIP IT LASME to or from Oiklnd, Sn Ffn ciico, Lot Anfolt nd othtr C alitor'-, points. S3fi wi Fitzgerald IrT 773-7761 r T House Shown Washington (UPli A House Republican investigator charged today that the Agri culture Department under the Kennedy administration showed favoritism to Billie Sol Estes "or I don't know what the word means." Rep. Odin Langen of Min nesota made the charge in connection with the depart ment's failure to carry out its initial decision to increase British Health Service Expert In Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Sask. -IUPII- An architect of Britain's national health service arrived today as an "impartial" adviser to the provincial government in its increasingly bitter dispute with striking doctors. British Socialist Lord Tay lor stressed that he was not here to act as mediator in the doctors' protest against the controversial provincial mc-d icare plan modeled on Eng. land's health service. "A mediator must be select ed by both sides," Taylor said, "and I very much wonder if both sides could agree on any mediator at present." Paying Expenses Taylor stressed that the gov ernment of Premier Woodrow S. Lloyd was paying his ex penses, but that he had turned down a consultant's fee. "I think the people of Sas katchewan and the .doctors should know this," he, said. To herald Taylor's arrival, two doctors fired angry ti rades against the provincial government. Dr. H. D. Dalgleish, presi dent of the Saskatchewan Col lege of Physicians and Sur geons, warned the government the "week of decision" had ar rived when many doctors had threatened to leave the prov ice for good. Doctors Said Imported. And in Regina, Dr. Clayton Crosby, co-ordinator of Emer gency medical services in the capital, charged the govern ment was importing British doctors at "posh" salaries in order to frustrate the prov ince's doctors who are "bat tling a principle." Both sides appeared to be digging in for a long siege. Dulgleish's statements were seen as a threat to the already meager emergency medical service which the striking doc tors are providing. Only about ISO of an original 240 doctors were manning the province's 35 emergency centers. Dalg leish said 100 of the province's 900 doctors had left the prov ince and taken up practice elsewhere. Car Said Offered Crosby charged the govern ment was paying the British doctors SH.000 a month for their services, including their air fares from Britain, accom modations and the use of a car while in Saskatchewan. "Those terms might be enough to induce me to go to Siberia." f, you'll ho n Very special Person in Portland at thr Mulfit&maJt W fMern Hotel tofd jud ier we in trt Gaiffi Ki'Of. cowfortihli tccom miHlJtion. diitii(i lcvt'f" tr o piling jn.l TV Fot Retevjhont Call Your Trv Atjcnt or Writi Rtltrvihort OtticO Multnemjh Wfit- ' Hottl, Port land O'forn Investigator Says Estes Favoritism by Agriculture the bond on the Texas finan cier's grain warehouses from $700,000 to $1 million. Langen is a member of a House government operations sub committee investigating Estes' grain storage activities. A senate subcommittee will resume its investigation of the Texas tycoon's cotton allotment operations Wednes day. Langen's charge of favorit ism came as the subcommit tee continued questioning Dabncy Townsend. acting chief of the U.S. Warehouse Act branch. According to the Agricul ture Department, Estes visit ed the office of Carl Miller, Townscnd's predecessor, Jan, 25, 1961. After that the deci sion to increase the bond by $300,000 was discarded. Langen declared: "This Is favoritism, or I don't know what the word means." Townsend denied Langen's assertion. He said the main tenance of the existing bond ing requirements was accord ing to "our regulations and the net worth of Mr. Estes." Townsend read into the record a Jan. 18 telegram to the department's Wichita of fice recommending both an increase in the bond and an Independent audit by a certi fied public accountant. Graduation Speaker Named for U of 0 Euge;.e Dr. J. Douglas Brown, dean of the faculty at Princeton university, will be commencement speaker for the 1962 summer com mencement scheduled at the University of Oregon Aug. 11. The new summer com mencement Is expected to graduate about 250 candi students who are now under graduates. The special com mencement has been sched uled at the close of a new 11 week summer session. Dr. Brown has been dean of the faculty al Princeton since 1946, and has been a frequent visitor to Oregon. He is an economist who has been a consultant to several governmental agencies. He is an expert' on industrial rela tions and social insurance. fn HOW i Langen said the telegram proved his contention. He said it showed the department reversed its original deci sion about the bond following Estes' visit to Washington in late January. He said the bond on Estes had been gradually increased during the Eisenhower ad ministration but that under the Kennedy administration it failed to go up while Estes increased the amount of gov United flights from Medford connect with United jets East Morning and evening flights connect in Portland with United jets to more cities in the East than any other airline.

Department officials have insisted that the government lost no money through Estes' grain storage activities. Townsend also said Estes was required to have three or four times the usual maxi mum bond. His earlier testi mony showed that there were a number of warehouse operators who also were re quired to have more than the EXTRA CAPE AIRLINE usual maximum bond. Even before today's session, Langen told a reporter he was becoming convinced that Estes had been shown favor itism. This was based on Town send's statement Monday that Agriculture Department audi tors found "no cause for alarm" in Estes' operations just before the Texan was ar rested on fraud charges last March.
