WYNNE The ambulance problem which I mentioned several days ago is the subject of a letter to the ed itor by Mrs. Mary V'riRht. Chilo quin, published in Thursday's Her ald and News. The letter shows very intensive pride at the achievements of the ambulance, and rightly should. There were no barbs in my re cent editorial on ambulance serv ice that were directed at the hard working ambulance operators. That editorial was directed at a situat clarifical Triiii.sporlalioii By FLORENCE JENKINS Transportation of commodities has become one of the big busi nesses of the world today. The history of rail transporta tion, especially, has been fraught with trials and tribulations since before the Civil War when parallel steel rails started pushing their way across the continent. As business grows, so docs the complexities of it operation and the red tape which supervises its control. In 1864, for example, lum ber by the car cost $4.50 per mile nnri U r:ir farr'mA nnr A (VIA hi.nl ion that certainly does need fect Anything above A Jm took ication. Mrs. Wrights letter douh,e ra..

When they exceed the scope of the com munity and begin to answer am bulance calls from anywhere in the general vicinity, they cause a con flict between community owned and professional ambulances. In order to avoid any tragic con sequences resulting from this con flict of interests, it is important that both sides get together and outline a course of action that will protect both the interests of the ambulances concerned, as well as the interests of tho people they serve. I haVo talked to County Judge Charlie Mack who reports that to avert the possibility of losing a pro fcssional ambulance service in the northern portion of the county, the court felt it necessary to appropri ate some money to repay l'eaco in part whenever ho is caused to make a "dry" run because of a duplication in ambulance calls. This, In turn, would he contin gent upon tho call for the ambu lance being from a stale or coun ty official, and as I understand it, would not cover private ambulance requests. As for tho plan of Peace calling Chiloquin first whenever comes in from that general area, It would appear Hint there could be some arrangement worked out that would bo more conserving of both lin and money, It could perhaps be better handled through radio contact, either through use of the slalo police network, Die mutual aid firo net, or other radio set. Another suggestion was ad vanced in conversation yesterday by phone with Walter Zimmerman of Chiloquin. Calls from tho northern portion of tho county go through the Chil oquin exchange. Thus, any call to Peace's Ambulance in Klamath Falls or the Disaster Car in Chil oquin would come through the operator in Chiloquin. She could lie instructed that aft- Europe, Canada and Japan mean lime will have a long head start. These nations now are freeing 40 per cent of the products formerly embargoed for sale to Eastern Europe and Red China. The latter will still be off limits to American exporters. The U.S. Commerce Department doubts if lowering the trade bar riers a bit in the recent Pans agreement with 14 other nations of the NATO Coordinating Committee on Con trol of East-West Trade will open up much more of a market for U.S. goods in Eastern Europe. American traoe with Eastern urone is off this vpar frnm lav! ' year's 10-year high, and it ac counts for only half of 1 per cent of total U.S. foreign trade. ice for being burned up on the duplication of calls but it is a sit uation that can be remedied I am sure. If the Chiloquin telephone cen tral were requested to inform any one calling the Peace people could inform the party making the call that our ambulance was on the wav and vice versa.

The main framework of South ern Pacific Company was pretty well laid out by 1887. Its 5,500 miles of main line of that day have increased to approximately 15,000 miles of line today. Tariff books relating to the rates the SP may charge for intra or interstate freight arc large and complicated. The present dispute over SP freight rales affecting the Pacific Northwest goes back a few years Prior to 1954, the freight rates paid to the Bay Area and Southern Cal ifornia were the same for North ern California shippers and South crn Oregon shippers. Through var ions freight rate increases grant cd by die Interstate Commerce Commission, and not granted on Intra-slate shipping by the Califor nia Public Utilities Commission, the Northern California shippers gained a rate advantage over those of Southern Oregon. The SP had a new tariff pub lishcd which it sought to moke effective on May 22 this year which would establish more favorable rates for lumber shippers of Wash inglon and Oregon. Shippers who objected to losing their advantage, together with var ious trucking associations and barge lines, went to Section II of the ICC, a committee of three ICC members in Washington, D.C. Tho proposed reduction in rates for Wnshinglon and Oregon was suspended, pending further investigation. That investigation is now eninp on through ICC hearings whicli started on August 18 in ,'San Fran cisco. The ICC makes a thorough study of the transportation struc ture, and insists that common car ries do not go below a certain margin of profit. Pacific Northwest shippers have requested bearings at Portland as for military purposes. The Com merce Department doubts if the Reds will buy many purely civilian goods from Americans. Western European industrialists are much more hopeful. For ex ample, they arc now freeing cop per wire for export to Eastern Europe and Red China. Copper wire was once a major British export to the Soviet Union. Red cphone Office would advise the caller either way around. The Chiloquin Ambulance Serv ice is a local organization spon sored by the Chiloquin Volunteer Fire Department and Chiloquin Hre Belles is a volunteer serv ice without charge to those need ing such service and the drivers arc not paid for the time or loss of time in this worthwhile work The Chiloquin Ambulance Serv ice started quite some time ago whcn local people realizing the need for such service started such a movement and Mr. Barnes and Mr. McDonald of the local B. and M. Mill purchased the old Chiloquin Police paddy wagon and donated it to the people for a disaster car. the Chiloquin Garage working it over and making it usable for such service. The interested people then found that they could secure a good am bulance at an extremely low price, this ambulance being built for such er one ambulance is called, she 1 11 ls more cuy "waled tor Inform tho lu-vl eoller nf tlm nth.l wllllcsscs from Washington and t, Lb f" !?"'ni!'S SIMy WiPPed and modern in all er ambulance that a call had al ready been made. In oilier words, if an accident occurred and a call came through for the Chiloquin Disaster Car, and then u lew minutes later another call came through lor the Peace Ambulance, she could in form the second caller that the Disaster Car bad been railed, and unless a second ambulance was needed there would be no neces sily for calling the other service. This is one way the mailer could be partially resolved. I'm certain that there are others, and Oregon. In compliance with their request, the hearings will be con tinued in Portland early in Sep tember. In presenting its side of the case in favor of the reduction, the South ern Pacific is frank to admit its need for reduced tariffs to back up its effort to regain business which formerly moved by rail. from South America. The British think they can recapture the So viet market and add the Chinese to their customer list. The United States now embar goes 922 items for sale to the Reds. It isn't saying yet how many of these will be freed for trade. It is going to add some items because military advances have brought certain chemicals and electronic products into the strategic category. But America plans to drop more items from the list than it adds. Strict controls were clamped on East-West trade in 1948 as a cold war measure. Last year there was some relaxation of controls and U.S. exports to the Soviet Union and the satellites rose to 80 million dollars, compared with 11 million in 1956. Imports from be hind the Iron Curtain rose to 61 million dollars. Poland accounted for the giant share of the 1957 trade 7.1 million dollars of our exports and 27'i million dollars of our imports. Figures released this week by Commerce Secretary Weeks show that in the first six months of 1958 licenses to export to the Reds to talcd 10!i million dollars. Latest available figures show that im ports from Eastern Europe in the first two months of 1958 came to 94 million. From Poland and the Soviet Union we have been getting hams, bacon, feathers, bristles, un dressed furs; from Czechoslovakia semiprecious stones, industrial diamonds, beads and glass; from East Germany fertilizers, cam eras and artificial fruits and flow ers. We have been selling the Reds coal mine drill rigs, auto parts, textile machinery parts, tobacco, soybean oil and phenol. The Soviet Union has had its embargoes against us too. And what it will let its people buy from us is still pretty much a mystery. The Iron Curtain chink isn't very big yet.

As to your statement if I read it right, will say that the drivers that go out on the service have re ceived instructions in first aid and am told that they are able to han die the ordinary emergency as well as most ambulance drivers but of course could not give plasma or medical treatment to an injured person. Another item, our local Dr. Kcr wood, in case of an accident, is ready and if anyone is injured he is there to give help and attention He has been to most of the calls made for our ambulance, which is something that other ambulance services for the most part lack. Another item, we are 30 miles from Klamath Falls, and in case of a serious accident our ambulance can have the patient to the hos pital by the time a Klamath am bulance reaches here and could very well save a fatality. You mention the Fort Klamath call and will say that the call came in and it was answered promptly by the Chiloquin Ambulance, and Dr. Kerwood who examined the injured. He said they were not crit ically injured. It is true that there was a delay as the gas pump went out and they called the disaster car which responded to take the injured people to the hospital. This can happen to any car on the road. This being a community service and nonprofit everything being done for people in distress, we lo cally feel that it is a worthwhile organization and all are proud of it us well as its record. They keep a record up to date of all calls, of the time of call, who they serve, where taken and time spent in this service. I do not think this is some thing that can't be ironed out in duplication of calls and that it can be arranged so all will be satis fied.
