Council Gets
New Hiway
Proposals
State Hlghwav Department pro
ponnls for approxlmntely t4.uoo.ooo
worth of work In and around Kin ni
nth Fulls have been mnde to the
Cltv Council for Its sludv and
opinion.
The ob proposals Include the
west side bypass, which would lake
US 07 around the west side of
town: extension of Kit Carson way
on out to a connection wilh 8. 6th
to form an east side bypass: 8. 6th
viaduct Improvement and one-way
traffic on the more heavily-traveled
streets downtown.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
Control of crosstown traffic
should have top priority, the High
way Department suggested. Its No.
1 plan lor that Is to channel south
bound traffic down Main, and bring
northbound travel up Klamath.
That recommendation was made
bv the Highway Department six
years ago. but was beaten back by
local downtown opposition to one
way sleets and highways bypass
ing the business district.
Alternative plan for handling
cress-town traffic suggested, but
not particularly recommended, In
the Highway Department's survey
of locnl street needs are to have
one-wav travel on Pine and Klam
ath, with two-wav on Mam. or one
way travel on Klamath and VVal-
OVERPASS , r ' ,.
Second nrlorllv Is ilvcn t th
S. 6Ui viaduct, which now and lor
many yenrs has been a bottleneck
nn that thoroughfare. The Drooosal
Is for buUdlng a second viaduct
just south of the present overpass
to enrry easl bound traffic. West
bound trafflo would continue to use
the present structure.
Along with that, apparently, goes
a recommendation for one-way
traftlc eastbound on 8. 6th, and
westbound up 8. 7th.
Another one-way traffic proposal
Is to send outbound travel out East
Main, and bring Inbound traffic
along Martin.
The west side bypass, which has
been in the wind for a number of
vears. would start nl the 'unction
of US 7 at Kit Carson, the north
entrance Into town, come in along
Blehn to Oregon and follow on al
most a straight line along Oregon
and over thr hill to beyond N. 1st.
where It would veer down to cross
Link River and go on out River
ride, across Llndley Hetarhts and
finnllv re-connect with US A7 and
Oregon 66 at the Weed-Ashlnnd
lunctlon.
EAST SII1E BYPASS
The enst side bypass highway
would begin at the Esplanade-Kit
Cnrson Junction and follow along
with canal on out to Join with 8. 6th
(Oregon 661 across the canal from
Summers Lane.
The Highway Department survey
also enumerated several control
signnls which should be estab
lished, notablv one at S. 6th and
Shnsla Way.
Estimated costs of the various
protects are:
West side bypass, north end.
31.000.000: west side bypass, sou in
end, $800,000: enst side bvpass
(designated as the Klamnth Falls
Mnlln hlRhwnyi 11.600,000: viaduct
improvement 3300,000: setting up
Ihe Matn-Klamath one-way couplet
3100.000; the S. 6th-S. 7th one-way
couplet 353,000; the East Main
Ms rtln one-wny couplet 346,000.
Signals, channelisation nnd some
paving to set up the one-way street
couplets, with an estimated cost of
3300.000, would have to be borne
partially by the city. Its share is
estimated at 381,630.

Congress May

deal a death blo to tho already
battered controls extension bin.
The Deiense Production act,
which alves the President authority
IdicorHi 01 wages.- prices, rents' and4

unless Congress extends It.
And strong sentiment tor letting
the law die was expected to oe
voiced bv Republicans and South

stripped the measure of most of Its
effective price control powers.
Tney appear to nave uie votes
to get their way, too, when tne
bill comes up for action Tuesday.
Rep. Spence (D-Ky). chairman
of tne House Banking Committee.
said his administration forces would
make an all-out light against
probable let-it-die movement.

that price controls be lifted on

This was followed by a vote to

recommendations in labor disputes,
All House actions so far are only
tentative and still subject to final
roll call votes.
The strategy of controls foes no

AEC Plans
Atom Plant
WASHINGTON Wl The Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC) plans
to build a new atomic plant. proD
ably In the Ohio valley, at an esti
mated cost of 1. 197.350.000.
It also proposes to spend another
I i billion dollars to expand two
existing atomic plants and two
others now under construction.
The proposals are part of the
development contemplated when
President Truman asked Congress
recently fox 13.191,000.000 for
stepped-up atomic weapons pro
gram.
They were disclosed Tuesday In
publication of testimony before a
House Appropriations subcommittee
on a supplemental appropriations
Dill.
The site' for the'new plant hns
not yet been selected, the AEC
told the committee.
Numerous groups from Kentucky,
Ohio and Tennessee have come to
Washington in recent weeks to seek
the plant for their areas.
AEC Chairman Gordon Dean
told the subcommittee the expan
sion plan calls for expenditures of
456 million dollars at Oak Ridge,
Tenn., and 450 million dollars at
Uie Paducah, Ky., plant now under
construction. .
... In addition, he said, the plan
provides for expenditure of 346 mil
lion for new facilities at Hanford,
Wash., and 167 million at the Sa
vannah River, B.C., plant, were
materials for the projected hydro
gen bomb can be made.
Dean said 250 to 300 million dol
lars will be saved by building ad
ditional gaseous diffusion units at
Paducah and Oak Ridge instead of
ereotlng a new atomic plant else
where. And, he added, approximately a
billion dollars will be saved by
putting addlUonal atomic units at
Hanford and Savannah river. In
stead of going to a new site.

'Positive'
New Policy
DENVER I Oen nwlirht
Elsenhower pitched his presidential
campaign Tuesday squarely on a
peace-or-war issue with his GOP
opponent, Sen. Robert A. Taft of
Ohio.
The general laid down the battle
iines in a television-radio speech
Monday night In which he blasted
isolationists and declared he was
in ponucs pnm&riiy oeause ne oe-
lieved peace was at stake In the
contest for the COP presidential
nomination.
PROGRAM
He outlined his own peace and
world security program in this
way:
1. Convince the world that Amer
ica has a sincere devotion to peace
and will not consider proposals for
2. Suprjort Uie United" Nations,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization, and other security agree
ments as instruments tor peace.
3. Pursue a positive foreign pro
gram, rather than a "hand to
mouth" operation, which will line
up the Allies against the enslave
ment of any nation.
4. Build up spiritual ana mili
tary strength which wlU convince
the Russian leaders they must ac
cept a just ana practical puui
of world disarmament, .
IN COMMAND
.In lira command, ol. hist own
campaign, Eisenhower left no doubt
he classed Tan among tne isolation
ists and that he believed a "retreat
into Isolationism" would leave the
United States "encircled by a sav
age wolf pack" of Communism.
The general didn't name Taft
direcUy but his remarks were
billed by Sen. Carlson (RKan). as
revealing a wide foreign policy
chasm between the two Republican
candidates. And Eisenhower gave
his approval to this billing.
(James Reston of the New York
Times reported that Elsenhower's
speech was written after long con
sultation in Denver and the first
draft of the speech actually named
Taft and drew attention direcUy to
the differences between him and
Elsenhower.)
TAFT
Coupled with the fact that Eisen
hower recently (In private) called
Taft an Isolationist, he made it
clear he was shooting at Taft when
he said:
"Those who assert that America
can retire within its own borders;
those who seem to think we have
litUe or no stake in the rest of the
world and what happens to it: those
who act as though we had no need
for friends to share in the defense
of freedom those persons are Ig
norant or Irresponsible or they are
taking an unjustified gamble with
peace."

Navy Planes
Stage Raid
' By The Associated Press
SEOUL, Korea Wl Air Force
and Navy fighter-bombers teamed
up again Tuesday to hammer four
electric plants smashed Monday In
the biggest air raid of the Korean
War.
Nearly 200 Navy planes from big
fleet carriers off Korea's East
Coast Joined Air Force planes
from dozens of Korean bases to
hit the shattered generating sta
tions for the second straight day,
Navy headquarters announced.
None of the planes returned to
the smouldering Buiho power
plants Just south of the Yalu River
boundary. But the Air Force said
F-84 Thunderjets "completed de
struction'' of the two power sta
tions near Changjin Reservoir
and two on the Songchon River In
Eastern Korea.
F-86 Sabre Jet pilots exchanged
firing passes with live MIO-15 Jets
south of the Yalu Tuesday after
noon, the Air Force said.
PATROL - i
The U. S. Eighth Army reported
increasing patrol action along the
155-mile battle front Tuesday. One
Allied patrol battled for almost
two hours with a Red unit west of
fChorwon. the scene . of bloody
fighting during the past two weeks.
About 20 Red troops were killed;
Uie Army said.
As Allied experts studied gun
film to evaluate destruction done
by Monday's big raid on North
Korean power plants, there were
strong hints thai more Red targets
are marked for attack.
Military officials In Washington
said Monday's raid on Communist
generating stations inaugurated a
new "get tough" policy adopted
as a result of Red stalling In the
armistice negotiations.
One spokesman who asked not
to be Identified said "we now
realize the best chance for break
ing the deadlock at Panmunjom la
to hit the enemy with all the fore
at our command."
SUCCESS
A study of gun camera fUms
from the 500 Air Force. Marine and
carrier-based Navy planes which,
took part in the Korean War's big-geat-
alr attack showed Jha strike
was virtually a iou per cent suc
cess, the Air Force said.
An official spokesman aal dlrent
hits were registered on all five
targets, and the world's fourth
largest . hydro -electric plant at
Sulho was a "pile of Junk." He
described the 1.400-foot row of
giant transformers and other equip
ment as a shambles.
The Sulho plant lies only a half
mile south of Manchuria on the
Yalu River. Other Plants wera
smashed at the Changjin Reservoir
and on the Songchon River in
eastern North Korea. .
NO CHALLENGE -Not
one Communist Jet challeng
ed the attacking Allied planes, ai-
tnougn Ainea pilots saia more
than 200 swept-wing MIG-15S were
parked on a Manchurlan air base
within sight of Suiho.
The Air Force said all of Its
planes returned safely. The Navy
said one carrier-based plane was
shot down by anti-aircraft fire and
four others were hit, but no pilots
were lost.
No official at United Nations
headquarters would say where
the order to bomb the power sta
tions originated. The plants have
been spared since the war began
two years ago and observers snld ,
the decision to smash them appear
ed to be more political than mili
tary.
