Freight Car
Lack Seen
SALEM (API-Clifford W. Fer
guson, state director of rail trans'
portation, predicted today that
Oregon would have a severe short
age of freight cars this year.
The reason, he said, is that
eastern railroads aren't building
enough new cars, so are hanging
on to the new cars being built by
the western railroads.
Ferguson wrote the vice presi
dents of eight western railroads
that they should take steps to try
to get their cars back from the
eastern lines.
Ferguson wrote that if business
remains normal. "We will prob
ably face a severe car shortage
in 1959 in Oregon. If. on the other
hand, business picks up and it
now looks like it will we will suf
fer one of the severest and most
damaging car shortages' in Ore
gon history.

College Dorm
STATE COLLEGE, Miss. (AP)
Fire believed caused by defec
tive wiring raced through the
main men's dormitory at Missis
sippi State University early today,
leaving nothing but a mass of rub
ble of the 78-year-old brick and
wood structure
About 1,000 students lived in the
four-section building. Officials said
they believed all escaped. The
flames broke out about 2:45 a.m.
and many of the students were
still up studying for final exam
inations. One student suffered
burns on the hands.
Malcolm Gray, supervisor of
student housing, said it would cost
three million dollars to replace the
dormitory.
The fire broke out in room 371
of the four-story building. Flames
were shooting out the window
when the first alarm was sounded.
The flames spread so fast, a
witness said, that the volunteer
Starkville firemen were unable to
do much when they reached the
scene minutes after they were
called.
The building, part of which was
started in 1878, was a mass of .
flames by the time firemen from
neighboring West- Point and Co
lumbus arrived. The firemen were
able to keep the fire from reach
ing a cafeteria nearby.
The task of checking students
was difficult. Several hundred stu
dents had finished final examina
tions and had gone home for the
semester holiday.

Fire Control

YREKA Forest Supervisor
Charley Yates of the Klamath Na

beginning of a fire control replan

The first replanning project was

;, .... ,:,.;, j ,imuar -,,t.
ber sale activity and timber cut
ting on private land has greatly
affected the fire control problem
on this forest. The project now
underway will provide the forces
necessary to meet the fire con
trol problem as it now exists.
This same replanning project is
being done on all national forests
in California. It includes a map
showing fuel types which are clas
sified into rale of spread zones
and into resistance to control
zones.
All timber working circles and
land management units are being
valued, and acceptable annual
burned area is being determined
for each of these units.
The plan, when completed, will
establish the required protection
force for prevention, initial attack
and detection, as well as the equip
ment necessary to meet burned
area objectives. This force will be
capable of handling the fire situa
tion under average fire danger
conditions.
Another section of the plan will
cover emergency forces necessary
when fire danger is above the
av erage and into the extreme.
Beginning on January 12. eight
men were detailed from (he rang
er districts to begin the fuel clas
sification maps. Four hundred and
thirty two man-days ranger dis
trict time plus 65 man-days of
supervision will be required to
complete this project, which is
scheduled for completion by April
19.
Agency Orders

revised to meet the city's needs
Francis McEnerney. agency chair
man, said as JJunsmmr current
building codes are outdated.
As an initial action, the agencv
members are asking for federal
inspection of two large sections of
Dunsmuir, seeking to have them
declared obsolete and subject to
federal assistance in putting them
to better use.
The agency met at the city hall
on Monday evening. Owners of
commercial and rental properties
were invited to attend.

Great Northern Railway tracks
cross suburban streets. At Ander.
son Street and Washburn Wav. Pr
example, the railroad's tracks
cross streets seven times.
Engineers will examine t n e
practicality of a proposal by the
Great Northern itself to minimize
saiety nazaras. and they will
make any recommendations of
their own which they think prac
tical. The multiple crossings are re
garded as hazards to automobile
drivers and railroad engineers
alike. For that reason. Great
Northern proposed a cooperative
study of the situation a year ago.
One result has been a propo?ai
by. Great Northern Superintendent
Paul Cruikshank that, generally,
would provide for overhead cross
ings at both ends of the railway's
switchyard.
Cruikshank. in December, prv
posed a construction of high
way overpasses on Laverne Ave
nue 'Midland Road) and Alta
mont Drive. bi close Anderson
Street and Washburn Way at the
edge of the railway's right-of-way,
and c construct a new street
from the intersection of Wash
burn and Laverne to the proposed
overpass on Altamont Drive.
The state engineering survey
would .go over this proposal and
others that seem possible, and it
would include ways to finance any
changes.
Mack said the proposal was pre
sented to Williams by Glenn Jack
son of Medford, a Copco vice
president who also presented the
problem, on the county's behalf,
to Air Force authorities in Wash
ington. Whether the Air Force would be
interested in financial aid is not
known, but it is certain that the
traffic hazards that exist now
would be compounded when King
slcy Field is fully activated.
Any correction in the existing
situation also would alleviate pres
ent inconveniences in reaching
the airport.
The survey itself has been un
dertaken by the state. Mack said.
He added: "This is a study that
needs to be done, and some
solution reached."
