Traffic Plan for
Rodeo Days Drawn
To Reduce Delays
Because of the large volume

on the way to the rodeo grounds
on South Sixth street, the city
police Wednesday asked the co
operation of the public in put
ting into effect a new plan of
control for rodeo days, July 4,
S, 6.
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.

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

SALEM, June 18 (P) The
death of State Senator Walter E.

employes today, because Pearson
was one of Oregon's best-loved
officials.
Pearson, who went back to
the senate last year after serv

was chairman of the powerful
Joint ways and means commit

Born in Virginia, he was a

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.

Sir Victor said the union of
the British and American peo

and age-old institutions of gov

Victor repeated, "It is the only
