In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
THE United States sends to Rus
sia a strong protest against
the recent Soviet upset of the
Hungarian government. Our
story is that Hungary's anti-communist
premier was forced into
exile and compelled to resign for
no other reason than to enable
Hungarian communists to seize
power.
We add that in this move the
communists were fully supported
by Moscow and that the United
States and Britain, members of
the allied control council along
with Russia, were completely ig
nored. The full text of the note isn't
available as this is written, but
apparently we are threatening to
take the matter up with United
Nations.
NOTHING is to be gained by
kidding ourselves. The pro
test note is just face saving on
our part. The fact is that Russia
has put one over on us in this
first skirmish following the new
Truman Doctrine.
She has grabbed Hungary. She
is reaching for Austria. She is
now. engaged in carpentering up
an airtight block. of Balkan na
tions to isolate Greece and Tur
key, which we are committed to

SEATTLE, June' 13. UP)
Superior Judge Hugh C. Todd
sentenced George Pfelffer, 59-year-old
Dallas, Ore., farmer, to
six months in jail and imposed
fines totaling $400 Wednesday as
Pfelffer pleaded guilty to six
traffic violation charges here.
The sentences were the same
which Justice of the Peace Will

pfeiffer appealed, but shortly
after his superior court trial be

Unidentified Man's Body
Found on North Umpqua
The body of an unidentified
man believed to be a lost
hunter was found at Chimney
Kock, 35 miles east of Roseburg,
on the North Umpqua, yesterday
afternoon, Sheriff O. T. Carter
reported today.
Discovery of the body was made
by John Gardner, Roseburg, who
was looking for timber to be cut
by his father, a Roseburg logger,
the sheriff said. The man appar
ently had been dead several
months.
Deputy Sheriff Dick Baker and
Coroner Harry C. Stearns were
leading a party, to Chimney Rock
today to recover the body and
make an identification.
Only the thick bark of the
Douglas fir is being processed,
but the barks of all Pacific Coast
conifers can be put to use through
similar processes, Heritage said.
The first plant is processing
only a small part of the bark
taken from logs brought to the
Longvlew plant, but ultimately
all of the former waste product
will be utilized, said Dr. R. D.
Pauley, sales director. As new
commercial uses are found for
the compounds and combinations,
it is possible that no bark will be
allowed to go to waste in any
timber processing plant, he added.
The compounds are manufac
tured through an Intricate grind
ing, crushing and screening
process that separaates the cork,
fiber and powder.

one is forthcoming.
The mlnortiy leader told re

Barkley said he had no infor

President must decide within
the next few days whether to
accept or reject Republican-sponsored
labor and tax-cutting bills.
Within the next three weeks or
less, he must make similar deci

will be laid before him.

Tavern Operator's
Suit Tossed Out
OREGON CITY, Ore., June 13
UP) A suit charging Marlon
County authorities with false ar
rest of Leonard Gouge, Silverton
tavern operator, was dismissed
yesterday by Circuit Judge
Latourneite.
Gouge, who said he was ar
rested .an the .ground his tavern
did not have a State Liquor Con
trol Commission license, had
asked $121,000 damages and
named as defendants District At
torney Miller H. Hayden, Sheriff
Denver I. Young, Victor David,
pinball machine owner, and the
Continental Casualty Company.
The judge ruled that a receipt
Gouge received from the liquor
commission on his application
for license renewal did not con
stitute a temporary permit for
the tavern, as Gouge contended.
The old license had expired
Dee. 31, 1944. Gouge applied for
renewal but had not received it
by Jan. 22, 1915, when he was
arrested.
Hayden testified charges
against Gouge were dropped
when the liquor commission
wrote him that Gouge was oper
ating under a temporary permit.
Gouge later filed his suit for
damages.
In the ease, transferred here
from Marlon County, Gouge's at
torneys argued it was commis
sion policy to allow taverns up
for license renewal to continue
operation until the commission
had ruled on their application for
a new license.
Testimony also brought out
that the Silverton City Council
refused to recommend Gouge's
tavern. The liquor commission
then denied him a new license
on Feb. 23 that year, but at a re
hearing March 15 granted the li

The total cut amounted to

Morse Asks Funds
For Access Roads
WASHINGTON, June 13.-fP)
Senator Morse of Oreeon said
today the action of Senate-House
conferees in knocking out an
amendment to the rent control
bill providing $10,000,000 for
access roads would aid large lum
ber companies to "squeeze out"
small companies.
Morse Introduced Immediately
a bill to appropriate $25,000,000
for acce6s roads.
The eliminated amendment,
added to the rent control bill after
hours of Senate debate, was pro.
posed by Senators Cordon of Ore
gon and Moraev- It wouid have
provided money to construct
roads into national forests to get
out the timber.
The amendment was opposed
by Senator Cain (R.-Wash.), one
of the Senate conferees on the
bill. Cain contended the lumber
companies in the Pacific North
west did not. want the access
roads constructed.
Cain told a reporter he agreed
to elimination of the amendment
by the conferees because he be
lieved tt should not be part of a
rent control bill. He said he is
considering offering separate leg
islation to provide money for
access roads.
"The representations that the
acccess roads appropriations is
not wanted by lumber companies
in the Pacific Northwest does not
conform with the enthusiastic
support of the amendment from
many lumber companies of that
region who urged Senator Cordon
and myself to introduce the
amendment," Morse said.
