The parade will start at 10:30 a. m. each day and as soon as the parade is over South Sixth street will be converted into a one-way street tor two lanes of traffic from Main street as far as the rodeo at the county fair grounds. This means that all those who wish to go to the rodeo may do so by falling in line with traffic on South Sixth street while those who wish to go uptown are asked to avoid South Sixth street and use one of the ad jacent streets.- Both signs and police officers will be placed at strategic locations to assist in the proper movement of traf fic. All traffic coming into Klam ath Falls from the south will be permitted to enter the rodeo grounds while those who wish to go uptown will be directed onto Crest avenue which is just east of the fairgrounds, and they are asked to use this street. This movement of traffic will enter Shasta way and thence British Statehood in U. S. Urged for Great Democracy LOS ANGELES. June 18 (U.PJ Sir Victor Sassoon, one of Eng land's leading industrialists, said Tuesday night the only salvation for the British empire and the democracies of the world is for England, Australia and Canada to become part of the United States. The famous industrialist often described as one of the five wealthiest individuals in the world, visualized a federal gov ernment embracing England and the United States, "because there is no- other way." 'The United States," he said, "needs England, Australia and Canada to consume the exports of South America. ; And the United States must help con sume those exports to keep South America as an ally. "It. is now so obvious to the business men of the world that a federal alliance of England is necessary that it hardly bears Walter Pearson Dies Suddenly At Marshfield (Continued from Page One) 23, 1874, entered the Oregon state senate in 1935 and served through the special session of that year and the regular session of 1937. He was a. democrat. In May 6f 1937 he was ap pointed to the board of higher education. He resigned in 1938, the year former Governor Charles H. Martin appointed him state treasurer on the resigna tion of US Senator Rufus Hoi- man. Ho served until this year when Leslie M. Scott of Port land, republican, became state treasurer. Pearson did not seek reelection as treasurer but ran for the state senate from Multno mah county and was elected. Pearson was a native of Rich mond, Va., he was educated at Glade Springs academy and Richmond university. He came to Portland in 1908. He was a member of the Port land insurance firm of Bates. Lively and Pearson. He married Virginia Johnston in 1901 at Bluefield, W. Va. They had two sons and a daughter, Walter J. Pearson, now a Seattle insurance man; David William Pearson, now a traveling agent for a Kansas City underwriting company; and Mrs. Philip P. Werlein, Baton Rouge, La. SALEM, June 18 (P) The death of State Senator Walter E. Pearson in Marshfield this morn ing shocked state officials and employes today, because Pearson was one of Oregon's best-loved officials. Pearson, who went back to the senate last year after serv ing two years as state treasurer, was chairman of the powerful Joint ways and means commit tee, which holds the purse strings of all state activities. Born in Virginia, he was a life-long democrat, but he was opposed to the Roosevelt admin istration. He was member of the state emergency board, which makes appropriations between -legislative sessions; and 'nterlm com mittees to study state Institu tions and fishing problems In the Columbia river. onto Division street and onto East Main street where it will be possible for them to go up town into the business district. As soon as the rodeo is over the plan will be reversed and South Sixth street will become a one-way street for two lanes of traffic returning back to town. Those riding horses are re quested to not use South Sixth street but to take the road run ning along the canal starting from Main and Alameda street where the parade will break up. Said Police Chief . Frank Hamm: "We have decided on this plan after a conference with both the state police and the sheriff's office as a means of aleviating some of the congestion. "In the past we have only used one-half of the full capaci ty of South Sixth street. We feel that by using the full ca pacity of the street it will be possible to move the traffic from the central business dis trict to the rodeo in a consider able less amount of time than previously. And likewise from the rodeo back to the business district when the rodeo is over. "In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to have the full cooperation of the motoring pub lic as weu as of those riding horseback. discussion. England must come into the democracy of the United States with the full right of statehood. England and the United States must operate un der one government "This is the ultimate democ racy of the future, the great united democracy that will stop Hitler." Sir Victor said the union of the British and American peo ples was not far off. Asked if England would be willing to give up her traditions and age-old institutions of gov ernment for such a union, Sir Victor repeated, "It is the only way." .-. , The British industrialist stop ped off here while on his way to San Francisco to board a clip per for the first leg of a trip to Shanghai, where, as in India, England, North and South Amer ica, he has vast holdings.
