AIR TRANSPORTATION will fan out in all directions from Klamath Falls if applications filed
by West Coast Airlines for new routes are approved by the Civil Aeronautics Board. The solid
line shows the present service provided by West Coast, and the broken lines indicate proposed
new routes. Officials don't expect the lines to be in operation in less than two years.
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.
Commerce, under which tjie
Weather Bureau operates, also
would prepare and Issue forecasts
nd estimates of areas likely to be
covered by fallout as a result of
enemy attack. 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.
The proposed new routes would

provide a direct route north to
Portland, east through Boise, and
south through Reno.
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.

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. Railroad re
search to improve service never

LONDON (UPI Britain today
followed up its invention of the
"flying bedstead" with the "fly
ing mattress" a pUme with in
llatible wings you ;an blow up at
the corner filling station.
The flying bedstead was a Jet
powered platloim that went

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

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.

Fuel is no problem. The flying
