SP President Predicts
Bright Future For Road
By WALLACE MYERS
D. J. Russell. Southern Pacific
Railway president, sees a bright
future for the Klamath Country as
he points out that the S.P. long
ago decided to recognize its Klam
ath route as the main line rather
than the Rogue River Valley route.
Rursell headed a party of high
S.P. officials here last night on an
inspection trip. Besides Russell the
party included: Director Kenneth
L. Issacs, Vice Pres. J. W. Cor
bett. Chief Engineer E. E. Mayo
and Supt. L. p. Hopkins.
In a brief chat on his private
car parked on a spur at the rail
way station here. Russell was in
formed of the Klamath Chamber of
Commerce drive to draw new in
dustry here. He agreed whole
heartedly with the chamber's stand
thnt the Klamath Country holds
icreat promise for Industry because
'of Its centralized location.
Russell said his party made the
Klamath stopover to inspect the
S.P's. "increasingly Important
facilities here."
Work is to begin immediately on
installation of approximately S2,-
300.000 worth of centralized traffic
control, a form of electronic train
dispatching, between Klamath
Falls and Crescent Lake. Russell
said the protect should require
about six months to complete. He
estimated it would increase the
capacity of the line by SO per cent
or more.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (.)
Casually figures for United Na

steadily, reflecting bitter fighting
truce talks, an Associated Press
survey showed today.
Dead and wounded for the 17-
nation force fighting under the
U. N. flag now total 262,421, an
increase of 29.288 since an AP sur
vey in April. Overall casualty fig
ures, including oeaa, wounaea
and missing, total 384,609.

figures supplied by delegates of
countries fighting in Korea gave

The soutn Korean ngures no not
include the hundreds of thousands
of civilians who have fallen vic
tim to the tide of war.
In comparison to the U. N. to
tals, thn last U. S. Army estimate
of Communist Chinese and NorthJ
Korea military casualties Issued
In June gave an overall ngurc
of 1.623,404. There was no attempt
to break this down into dead,
wounded and missing, however.
The Republic of Korea has had
the most dead and wounded of any
of the nations ranged under the
U, N. flag 37,167 dead, 112,427
wounded.
The United States is next wnn
18.301 dead nnd 85.298 wounded,
based on this week's pentagon re
port. The U. S. also lists 1.611
known prisoners and 11,043 miss

Of the car supply situation, the
railway president said the S. P.
had lust authorized purchase of
another 2.000 freight cars to In
crease the line's already large car
ownership of about 70.000. About
4,000 other new cars ordered pre
viously are still to be delivered.
Since V-J Day. Russell, said,
the S.P. has placed in service a
total of 30.886 new freight cars.
The line's Investment program In
new locomotives and other rolling
stock since the war has reached a
total of $388,000,000.
Oregon's railroad car problem is
unusual, Russell said, in that the
volume of outbound loads is far
greater than the volume of inbound
shipments. This means the road
must deadhead empty cars back
into Oregon for reloading.
A recent count showed the S.P.
was employing 5.330 men and wom
en in Oregon with an annual pay
roll of more than $25 million. The
company operates over 1,800 miles
of track in the state, including
about 600 miles of main line. The
rail service is supplemented by
trucks operating over 1.441 miles
of highway.
The Southern Pacific is one of
Oregon's largest taxpayers, pour
ing approximately $2,500,000 Into
public treasuries this past year.
