Personal Gain Denied
in Rail Merger Talks
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD West
ern Pacific President Frederic B.
Whitman denied today that he
supports Santa Fe in the Western
Pacific case because he stands
to make a personal profit from a
stock option plan.
Southern Pacific Vice President
George Buland suggested during
cross examination of Whitman
that the plan made Santa Fe s
proposal especially attractive to!
Western Pacific officials.
"Yes, hut that wasn't my mo
tivation." Whitman said.
Outside the Interstate Commerce
Commission hearings Whitman
raid about 50 Western Pacific of
ficials have options on a total of
90.000 Western Pacific shares.
Their value may be increased
hy $1.7 million because of the
Santa Fe offer, he admitted.
"But look at what all the other
Western Pacific stockholders stand
to make," he said.
He said even Southern Pacific,
Don't Miss It!

which now owns 10 per cent of
Western Pacific stock, would
much more than pay its cost of
fighting the case if Southern Pa
cific loses because of Santa Fe's
stock olfer.
Santa Fe has proposed an ex
change of I4 shares of Santa Fe
for each share of Western Pacific.
Southern Pacific has ottered a
share-for-share exchange in its ri
val bid for Western Pacific con
trol. Buland said Western Pacific of
ficials have a stock option plan
under which they may buy lim
ited stock at between (16.18 and
$22.95.
Since the outbreak of the control
battle, Western Pacific stock has
risen in value so that if the ICC
approves Santa Fe's offer the
value of Western Pacific stock
would be about $35.
Whitman said his decision was
made because if Southern Pacific
wins, "it's my view there wouldn't
be any Western Pacific,"
He said it would be foolish for
Southern Pacific to have "one arm
of Southern Pacific competing
against the other." Southern Pa
cific's lines parallel those of West
em Pacific.
Whitman favors Santa Fe in the
current battle between Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific for control
of the smaller line. His stand was
backed by 17 shippers who went
to the wiuiess stand Wednesday
as Western Pacific witnesses.
The shippers contended that an
end-to-end affiliation of WP and
Santa Fe would stimulate rail
competition, but that a monopoly
would result it Southern Pacific
was successful in controlling the
side-by-side WP facilities.
Clay McGowan of Victor Indus
tries, Chico, Calif., said his firm
has greatly improved its prod
ucts in recent years because of
competition, which he said
"makes the wheels go around.'
Poultry shipper Enouch Christ
offersen of Turlock, Calif., claimed
that any business operates at less
cost when facing a rival. He said
competition gives a businessman
"something to shoot at."

Peace Marchers Prof est
Against Atom Warfare
By United Press International
The -nation's women, angered
and frightened by the growing
threat of nuclear warfare, staged
gigantic protest demonstration!
throughout the U.S. Wednesday.
The protest, in the form of a
strike for peace, was unorga
nized. But it was awesome in its
penetration into virtually every
section of the country and every
major city.

Peace Walk
Scheduled
In Portland
PORTLAND (AP) A pacifist
organization is sponsoring a peace
march in Portland Saturday and
backers predict a turnout of at
least 1.500 to 2,000 persons.
Chairman Howard Willits said
the number could go much higher
because of the international ten-1
sion resulting from the Russian
nuclear tests, the Berlin crisis and
the recent death of United Na
tions Secretary-General Dag Ham
marskjold.
One group of women from Sa
lem today announced plans to
caravan to Portland Saturday
morning to ioin in the peace walk
The Peace Walk is sponsored By
the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
This is a pacifist group which was
organized in England in 1914 ana
became active itn - the United
States one year later.
Also supf irting the march are
a number ov groups including the
Young Democratic Clubs of Ore
gon, the Portland Jane Jefferson
Club and the American Friends
Service committee.
One group of 'The United Na
tions Walk for Peace" demon
strators will begin their march in
the civil defense center at Kelly
Butte in Portland and walk to the
north Park blocks at NW Park
Avenue and Burnside.
The main body of marchers will
move down S. W. Broadway to
Hall Street and then to the south
Park blocks.
Some 15,000 circulars have been
sent out publicizing the demon
stration. Karlin M. Capper-Johnson, pres
ident of the Oregon United Na
tions Association, declined to
speak at the end of the peace
walk. He said he cannot support
some of the goals stated in the
circulars sent out.
Speaking in his place will be
Edward Snider, Washington, D.C.,
legislative secretary of the
Friends Committee on National
Legislation, a Quaker group.
The "strikers for peace" includ
ed teen aged college students,
young housewives and elderly ma
trons. They paraded in wind and
rain, sunshine and wearying heal
and in near freezing tempera
tures.
Some pushed baby carriages or
carried infants in their arms. Al
most all carried signs denouncing
continuation of nuclear testing and
the feverish East-West arms race.
The demonstrations were car
ried out before the White House
and the Soviet Embassy in Wash
ington, the United Nations head-:
quarters and Russian U.N. mis
sion in New York City and cen
ters of government across the
nation.
They urged Mrs. John F. Ken
nedy and Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev,
wives of the leaders of the world's
two most powerful nations, to help
bring a halt to the bomb tests in
the interest of survival of the
human race.
One of the largest demonstra
tions was in Chicago where an es
timated 1,000 women gathered to
appeal for a halt to nuclear test
ing. More thar. 600 women
jammed into two meetings in the
suburban Winnetka community
house to hear Rabbi Edgar Siskin
warn that mankind faces the
greatest peril it has ever known
from radiation fallout and nuclear
bombs.
They drafted telegrams to Pres
ident Kennedy, the U.N. and( to
other public officials. Other groups
staged protests in other parts of
Chicago and called on Mayor Rich
ard Daley to "lead our city in
showing America and the world
the way toward peace."
Many said they joined the pro
test as a part of a "women's day
for peace" movement suggested
by Mrs. Dagmar Wilson, an illus
trator of children's books who
lives in Georgetown, Md.
At Denver, about a hundred
women jammed the offices of Gov.
Steve McNichols and Sens. John
A. Carroll and Gordon Allott and
rebuked Allott when he said this
country would have to continue
nuclear testing because "we can
not lag behind the Russians." The
women shouted "No, No, No."
WASHINGTON iUPP-A medi-1
cal scientist said today it is high
ly likely that a major break
through in treatment of cancer
will be achieved within the com
ing year.
The prediction was made by Dr
I. S. Itavdin of the University of
Pennsylvania at a national can-!
cer conference. He beads a clini
cal studies panel appointed by the
National Cancer Institute to eval
uate new drugs for control of
cancer.
Itavdin said real progress has
been made in cancer research in
the past two years, and effective
chemical agents already have
been found for tieatment of spe
cial types of cancer.
"Matters have improved in the
cancer fight, and we are begin
ning to see tho light," Ravdin
told the conference, attended by
more than 1,000 physicians and
medical researchers from all
parts of the nation.
Confident of Control
He said it is now certain that
"cancer will come under control,
just as diabetes did."
"The answer could come next
month, next year or next week,"
he said.
"It is important that we keep
cancer patients alive as long as
possible, because we never know
when the answer will come, and
we are likely to have improve
ments in therapy before we knowl
the whole nature of the disease."
Ravdin said research to date
strongly suggests that "most hu
man cancers are probably due to
viruses and the answer in treat
ment will probably be through a
variety of chemical agents."
Definite proof that certain com
mon types of cancer are "viral
in origin" may be obtained "be
fore another vear is passed," he
said.
At the same time we may
have information on the control
of such lesions by chemical agents!
which have been under careful
scrutiny."
Surgery Still Brit
He said chemical therapy at
present is an adjunct rather than
substitute for early surgery
"The best way to handle cancer
that we know of, still is to re
move the malignancy while it is
local, and before it has grown or
spread."
But he said clinical tests during
the last two years have demon
strated that chemical agents can
produce dramatic results with
some types of cancer.
Ravdin said most researchers
now are convinced that cancer isler than a single drug, will be
a family of diseases, and that a necessary to cope with all of the
variety of chemical agents, rath-iviruses that may induce cancers.

State Park Use
To Be Tripled
SALEM (AP)-The demand for
day use of state parks will more
than double and overnight use will
more than triple by 197S. the state
parks superintendent, Mark
Astrup, said today.
Astrup spoke to the 2nd annual
county park conference in Salem.
He discussed a recreation survey
made by the parks division.
Many slate parks, he said, al
ready have been intensively de
veloped and remaining develop
ment space is largely limited to
day use opportunities.
'The capacity of existing parks
to provide for day use can be ex
panded.' he said. 'The major
problem is the lack of space to
handle overnight camping pres
sures.' Astrup said overnight camping
and boating facilities are areas of
critical need for the future and
the slate and counties should give
attention to getting sites now
while land is available.
