WB To Watch For Fallout WASHINGTON lB President Elsenhower Saturday Rave the Weather Bureau responsibility for improving forecasts of radioactive fallout patterns. The action was one of several which Elsenhower approved dele gation by the Federal Civil De fense Administration (FCDAI of various responsibilities to the Com merce and Interior departments.

Such Information, to be issued currently as well as in an emergency, would be made available to federal, state, and lo cal civil defense authorities. Hie secretary of commerce also was Instructed to help plan, through the bureau of roads, high way improvement to meet civil de fense requirements. The secretary of Interior was delegated responsibility for direct ing federal activities in procuring and distributing adequate fuel sup plies to attacked areas and re ception centers. The delegation to the two depart menu was the third in KCDA's program to give responsibility to other agencies for carrying out fc specific civil defense programs. Klamath Potential Air Hub If WCA Application OK'd BY JOK RIGKRT Klamath Falls probably will be come the center of air transporta tion in Southern Oregon within two years If West Coast Airlines is granted its wish. This was the word received by the Herald and News from E. B. Code, vice president of operations for West Coast, in a long-distance telephone call to Seattle. Code said that it would take two years to hold the Civil Aeronautics Board hearings and complete de tails of the propsed new routes from here. West Coast has applied to the CAB for three branch lines from Klamath Falls. One Is to Portland through Bend and Redmond, currently served by United Air Lines, which has applied for permission to with draw from the route. A second would be a non-stop flight to Reno and a third would be to Boise via Lakeview and Burns. This would give local passengers direct air access to ajl four points of the compass. WCA has only one route from Klamath Falls at present. This Is to Medford. and from there travel ers can either go north to Rose burg, Eugene and Portland, or south via 8outhwe.it or United Air ines to San Francisco.

Code said that the primary pur pose of the contemplated new routes Is to provide service to the East through these points, that Is Keno and Boise. He added, however, that they also are part of an overall plan to provide local service to isolated communities not so served now. The schedule ordinarily would call for two flights dally. Addition of these routes would save considerable time for East bound passengers. Now they must travel to either Portland or Sun Francisco In order to catch a flight The flight to Portland takes three nnd one half hours nd the one to San Francisco, two and one half hours. This means that a compara ble saving of time will be effected II the new route to Boise is ap- piuveu. West Coast Airlines has operated in Klamath Falls since June 29. 1953, and has two incoming and outgoing flights each day. The air- lines was formed in 1947 in a mer ger with Empire Airlines. At pres. ent its fleet Includes 13 two-en gined DC-3's. Bod Moore, local manager for WCA, says that passenger loads have steadily Increased here since 1953. Some 959 travelers were handled at the airport In the first six months of 1954, and that number has lumped to 1.235 for Hie same period this year. This la an Increase of almost 30 per cent. Moore expects the load to more than double if and when West Coast takes over the Bend-Redmond-Portland route. United Air Lines applied to with draw from Klamath Falls last Feb luary. but no action has yet been taken by the CAB on this request. C. L. Palmer, local United Air Lines manager, said he has no idea when the application will be considered. A similar request took 115 months In The Dalles, but Pal mer doesn't expect such a lengthy interim before action on the local request, mainly because United was the only airlines there, which Is not true In Klamath Falls. United has two flights daily one to Portland and the other to San Francisco and points east. TOM McCARRY V v . - f v BefiMslShs a I ti".1L 'V - ' ,- ' 3 i Then By I.VI.E DOWNIVG Tom McCarry, district freight and passenger agent for the South era Pacific Company, worked a year for the railroad before he saw It! But it's not so paradoxical as It sounds. He started his railroad career in Southern Pacific's Ca nadian offices ir Vancouver, B.C. McCarry is a r . .C of Vancouver. A gradual" t the Christian Brothers Cc ' his native city, McCarry bei. . ie was designed for a career as n cleric until after he had been with the Southern Pacific for several months. His tirst job after leaving school was a clerical position in the of fice of a Vancouver wholesale fruit company. He Joined the Southern Pacific in the same ca pacity. MARCO POI.O 1,1 FK Any idea that he had of being tied down to a desk in the same office for years was quickly dis sipated after he became Irmly grounded in railroad work. Since lfttG he has lived a sort of Marco Polo existence. In 1943, McCarry went to Port land to take charge of the reser vation bureau in the S.P. General Passenger office. The next year he was transferred to Seattle as chief clerk in the freight depart-1 ment. In 1946. the migratory railroader was back in Portland as city freight agent. He stayed put until I January I, 1948 when he was transferred to Roseburg as travel ing freight and passenger agent. In December, 1950 at Roseburg, he was promoted to district freight and passenger agent. In 1951, the Southern Pacific decided it was lime for McCarry to make another move. He went to Spokane, Wash ington as general agent. Another transfer brought Mc Carry and his wife, Doris, and their three children to Klamath Falls. I'ARMER AMBITION "When I was a kid," McCarry recalls, "I had an ambition to be a farmer. In fact, I once operated a tractor. Until the Southern Pa cific hired me in Vancouver. I had no idea of ever being a rail road man. Although the Southern Pacific took its time in letting McCarry see the railroad, when the com pany finally got around to it, they showed him the vast transportation system in a big way. In 1953, he t raveled over the system from Portland to New Orleans. McCarry is 100 per cent sold on railroading. He says young men seeking a career would be wise to investigate the opportunities of fered by American railroads. "When it comes to providing the maximum amount of safety, com fort and speed." he delcared, "no form of transportation will ever replace the railroad.

The flying bedstead was a Jet powered platloim that went straight tip. Its development is still top secret. There's nothing secret about the Hying mattress. It was developed by a private firm which hopes to put it on the market for less than $3000. The British Ministry of Supply was so impressed it ordered six ol the machines for testing and Now stops. Electronics are playing a biz role in the operation of the railroads today. The railroads have good Jobs for college-trained men in many fields. McCarry points with pride to the strides made in recent years by the Southern Pacific. Eighty-five per cent ot the trains are now Diesel-powered. "The Southern Pacific spent 150 million dollars last year buying supplies ranging from engines to thumb tacks." he concluded. "The railroad pays half a million dol lars a year taxes In Klamath County. It is also significant that 50 cents out of every dollar earned by the Southern Pacific goes to payrolls.
