Forest Service Losing Workers; Pay Too Good Don't crowd up too fast, young man, but if you want a Job that pays entirely too much money, Just Join up as a hired hand with the forest service: Sounds fantastic? Well, there are quite a few high school and college toys In the central Ore gon area who quit their Joo.? because they or rather, thelf dads couldn't stand the pros perity. Mfcny of tnese vacation students have recently been making as much as $500 per montn, but wnen their lathers found out the size of the pay checks they howled with grief. The reason? Income taxes. Sure, the boys had their money for school, but dad was lelt holding the sack. For he's the fellow that will have to add son's earnings to his own when i It comes time to ngure out Uncle Sam's income tax bill. As a result of this situation, forest service officials say they have recently been losing some mighty good boys. - Redmond Traffic j Problems Given Study Tuesday Redmond, Aug. 23 Redmond's traffic problems with emphasis on the' possibility of traffic -signals were discussed Tuesday eve ning at a joint meeting of the city council and the planning com mission. Val Johnson of the traffic di vision of the state highway de partment was on hand to go over the maior problems, which have been created by the new one-way traffic, and to answer questions put to him by the city dads. EmDhaslzed by Johnson were crosswalks, speed zoning, parking problems and traffic signals. He said he had been under the im- presslbn tha.t the highway depart ment had never received' a .re quest for a traffic signal survey from the city oi necimona. u nprintentlent John Berning an swered that the city had request ed the survey, but it was told by the department that traffic was not heavy enough to warrant it. Now, Berning said, the depart ment isuggesting that four traf fic lights be considered for the area. Different values Johnson answered that one-way traffic presents a different set of values. Installation of signals at the highway junctions would tend to control traffic. Berning pointed out that traf fic signals should be considered for the corner of Fifth jand E streets where the two highways come together. Wade Short add ed that nine accidents had oc curred at this point within the last two months. People coming from the east on the Ochoco high way are not used to tne siop street, and through traffic on highway 97 Is too fast. Short sug gested that a stop and go-system be considered for this Intersec tion.

The highway which reaches north from the Santiam junction past ther Detroit Dam to the same area was closed early today and warning signs were placed at Sis ters and other approaches. A black cloud of smoke from the Santiam fire rolled over the Cascades late yesterday, cover ing north-central Oregon. Scores of central Oregon men, most of them from Bend, are on the Santiam fire lines, where a former local resident, Frank Mc Donald, died yesterday, victim of a heart attack. Showers Fail Light showers fell on' the west ern slopes- of the Cascades yes terday, but failed to check the flames that have already spread into conflagrations on several fronts. Largest of the fires is that, which roared uncontrolled through 20,000 acres along the Umpqua river in western Lane county. The Detroit fire is esti mated to have covered about 2400 acres, and was still spreading this morning. Tired workers, some of them without sleep for two days, who returned to Bend last night told of the odds under which men are battling the roaring flames in the North Santiam valley, a region of rugged valleys, with their tops reaching Into the light clouds that drifted over the basin. Several pieces of heavy' log ging equipment, Including jam met$, were lost In the . Santiam fire. Bend loggers told of climb ing up mountains, some of them 3.000 feet high. ; It took some crews nearly three hours, to get only to t see the. lines disappear! later in the onrusmng names. ' Crew Returns Fallers, some of them from the Brooks-Scanlon operations, car ried power saws up the steep slopes. A crew returned to Bend at 10 p. m. fast night, because bed rolls were lacking, slept a few hours and returned to the battle this morning at 2 a. m. - The fire was reported burning fiercely in second-growth timber, in old Detroit burn area. A crew of 1,000 men is battling the Umpqua fire. In western Lane. The flames were rapidly spreading to the east, through stands of virgin timber. "It is the third largest fire in the history of the state," Ray Oglesby, West Lane county fire dispatcher, said. He added: "It is gone into a phase we ve been afraid of. It is the turning point from a large jorest fire in to a catastrophe." ' In the Hubbard creek district, 10 miles northwest of Roseburg, a fire that leveled 11. farm homes was still out of control, with 10,- 000 acres burned. Spot Fires Alive Fifteen small spot fires, all started by Tuesday night's storm were still "alive in the Deschutes national forest today, but had not spread into the timber. Communist Talks US Air Force Plane Crashes WithMoard Aschorage, Alaska, Aug. 23 'IP' An air force C-47 with nine men aboard roared out of the night "like a ball of fire" and crashed only 100 yards from a civil aeronautics station 145 miles north of here last night. The CAA said no one could have survived the crash. Four, bbdies were recovered. The plane was In radio contact with the CAA only one mlnuto be fore the crash and the pilot gave no indication' of trouble, making remote any possibility that para chutes were used. Richard M. Cross, CAA radio operator, said the plane was afire when it came out of the clouds during a rainstorm. It crashed on the emergency CAA landing strip and disintegrated. - The field is located at Sum mit, Alaska, in a pass between the rugged Talkeetna and Alaska mountain ranges. . "I was talking to the pilot by radio only one minute before the crash," Cross said. "At 8:20 p.m. (11:20 p.m. PDT) the pilot asked for a clearance to change alti tude. He had been flying at 11,000 feet. At 8:22 p.m. I called the pilot back to okay the change in altitude. At that time he gave no indication whatsoever he was In anykind of trouble. '"'Then, at 8:23 p.m. the plane roared over the CAA quarters like a ball of fire. It was burning and had lost a wing. It was flut tering and turned over ana over. "There was not much sound of an explosion. Just sort of an instantaneous burst of flames. Wreckage was scattered all over the runway. Rainbows Exceed Browns in Local Fish Tabulation More rainbow than brown trout are being caught in the Deschutes river south of Bend, the state game commission said today. The commission planted equal numbers of the two species to determine which fish provided the best angling. In making the survey,' fishery agents checked each angler using the test area between Benham and Dillon falls. Mid-July reports showed that raJnbow catches out numbered brown trout, 4-1. The test section was stocked in April. All the test trout were legal-sized and marked with fin clips. The catch of wild or unmarked trout taken in the same section also showed the rainbows in ma jority, with 359 rainbow taken to only 187 browns. Fish commission officials said the experlement carried out a long-standing theory that brown trout were more wary and proved more difficult to catch than the rainbow or brook trout.
