In his address, the President ; told Congress this country intends ' to back up tree nations of Eu .' rope in their struggle to MAIN- TAIN their freedom against Com- munlst Russia. Spaak reminded ' the reporters ol this at his news lonfcrenco. The pattern already sot Is be . Ing followed out :. A WASHINGTON dispatch says the Western European Union "now SEEMS SURE of strong American military support. How Is this support to be given . to these nations? Two programs arc undor con- sldcration in Washington: ; 1. ARM THEM only that Is to , say, supply them with guns, am- : munition, planes, tanks, etc., and (Dresumablv) let them supply thi I men. (We kidded ourselves with ; that same Idea back in 1010. We i know where it led). ; 2. Form an outright military alliance with the Western Euro- ' pean nations. IF you want to bet, you'd better lay your money that we'll start out with No. 1 and end up with No. 2. In that way, you won't be kid ding yourself. CHINA emerges from Its recent blackout In the news. Chiang Kai-Shek, addressing the nation , nl assembly, says: ; "I confess seven of the govern ment's best divisions were des troyed In Manchuria, They were my best nrmles that under my : command accomplished the revo lutionary campaigns with glory."

Roosevelt Unveiled in London LONDON, April 13 IT) Mrs. Kleanor Roosevelt tupped a red, white and blue bunting from a bronze statue yesiernny mm un veiled Britain's memorial to her husband, who died three years Hgo. King George was the central figure among thousands who watched.

He neath it is the simple Inscription: "Franklin Delano Roosevelt." The crowd stood In silence ns the king moved past honor guards of American and Royal marines find placed a wreath at the sta tue's base. Then Mrs. Roosevelt Hnd otlier offlcllas placed wreaths beside the king's offering. Hundred's of Britain's great and thousands of her humble kept 0 reverent silence. By CHARLES V. STANTON C. C. Crow, editor of Crow's Pacific Coast Lumber Digest, in a sizzling editorial blast leveled in the current copy of his trade publication at cooperative sustained yield forest man agement, contends that sustained yield operation constitutes monopoly and will injure communities now thriving from the expansion of the timber industry. Many people are ex pressing this same opinion today. In fact, the claims of mo nopoly, destruction of free enterprise, and loss of prosperity have developed into a major controversy. Perhaps these claims are correct. At least the people who honestly believe such to be the case have every right to state their case. On the other hand, there are others who believe the claims of monopoly, loss of initiative and free enterprise, and danger to prosperity to be completely baseless. Opponents to sustained yield are making their major appeal on a foundation of prejudice and sentiment. They point to the plight of "small" operators who will be put out of busi ness ; to the denial of the right of a free American citizen to enter the industry of his choice on the time-tried shoestring; to the danger of placing the whole timber industry in the hands of the "few big" operators. Actually, sustained yield, as proposed, does none of these things. The sustained yield program would include only about 25 per cent of the timber held by the U. S. Forest Service. This 25 per cent is composed chiefly of small tracts of timber intermingled with privately owned forests. Timber held by the O. & C, Administration, or Bureau of Land Management as it Is now called, js almost entirely intermingled with pri vately owned lands, but despite this fact not all O. & C. timber will be placed under cooperative contract. Thus, at the very most, not to exceed one-half of the publicly owned timber ever would come under cooperative contracts. The balance will remain open to competition from both large and small operators. We believe anyone will admit that the rights of the public transcend those of the individual. Timber involved in the sustained yield program is owned by the public. Therefore the public should protect its own interests. The controversy hus many angles, but essentially it boils down to an objection to granting selected operations a 100- year contract to cut publicly owned timber and excluding others who might need raw materials to keep their opera tions alive. One group wants the proposed sustained yield cooperative units broken down into smaller tracts, thus cater ing to the "small" operator instead of the "medium" opera tor, who now is in the preferred or select group. The pref erence for contracts now is being determined in favor of the operator who can purchase intermingled private lands and thus group his own tracts with thoso held by the govern ment. Obviously, few small operators can afford to invest the moncv reouired to buy unci hold privntely owned land sufficient to make up a sustained yield unit. It also is obvious thnt we have too many mills. We are cutting our timber much faster than the rate of reproduction. If we aro to maintain the industry on a perpetual basis some operations must go out of business. The question is : whose mill must close down? Referring back to the axiom that the public'interest comes first, it is apparent that, if cooperative contracts are to be granted they should go to tho operators best able to give fullest possible utilization. The small operator who can't afford to buy timber, can't afford either to build expensive utilization plants. Therefore it would seem to be to the pub lic's interest to get tho fullest possible return in values for tho resource it owns. The monopoly charge fails completely when examined care fully. In the first place, not more than one-half the publicly owned timber would go under coopcrator contracts. The Forest Service, which does not have an intermingled lands puzzle, ns has the Bureau of Lnnd Management, can main tain sustained yield by regulating sales. Secondly, the coop crator contracts do not permit transfer without bureau sanc tion. Therefore the proposed plan would definitely assure a maximum number of operations and thereby prevent two or three "big" operators from seizing the whole industry. But tho people as a whole are more interested in jobs and payrolls. Will sustained yield, through cooperator contracts, damage communities? Uveryono familiar with the industry knows tho tremen dous waste occurring today. A look at any sawmill's refuse burner is sufficient proof. Yet all the material now going up in smoko could bo utilized. It could furnish more jobs per cubic foot of material than is now supplied in cutting the sanio volume into timber und boards. It is not being iwed largely because operators, having no security of future sup ply of timber, cannot afford to invest in costly utilization plants. Given security through long-term contracts they would not hesitate to invest in utilization plants as rapidly as new uses could bo added. Thus, in our opinion, they could build rather than destroy communities. Heart Attacks Hit Wife, Then Husband; Man Dies 1.AKEVIEW, Ore., April 13 (.11 Krnest August Felseh, Lake- Memorial Foundation.

UMT Proposal, Draft Approved By Roseburg Jaycees Unanimous approval of uni versal military training, and overwhelming support, though not by a unanimous vote, for the draft bill now before Congress weie given oy me noseourg jun ior Chamber of Commerce at its Monday night meeting In the Umpqua hotel. The junior group's decisions will be mailed to Ore gon congressmen in a nationwide move by the JC's for an expres sion of opinion on the issue'. Voting on the two measures came after considerable discus sion as to just what -the two bills entailed and expressions by the members on controversial points. The general consensus was that, while none of the members pie sent actually favored military training, there seemed no choice but to show aggressive nations namely Russia that our country means business, and that it is necessary to be in a position to back up our diplomats with force if necessary. Universal military training, the UMT, it was brought out, is a long range plan of bringing mili tary training to all persons under 25 years who have not previously seen service, but aiming prin cipally at the 18-to-20-ycar group just out of high school, and volun teers in the 17 age group. Under the plan, there would be several options, It was explained, which would permit a specified amount of specialized training or college work as a substitute for part of the year's required service. The draft act, on the other hand, is a measure to immediate ly bring the standing army up to required strength or approxi mately 2,000,000. Registrations would be required for every man up to 25 years, except for those exempt because of previous ser vice, marriage or other' specified reasons. The UMT, it was pointed out. would eventually do away with the emergency draft act by pro viding a source of 17 and 18-vear olds on which to draw to main tain armed strength. I he group specifically pointed out that it did not approve of policies during the former draft wnicn caused so mucn uncertain ty among the eligible men as to whether and when they woual be called. Other objections to general standards in the army were cited namely, the position of the enlisted men in respect to ofllcers, and other phases of mili tary life which are less desirable. Also objections were voiced to drafting of older age groups wherein many men were estab lished, or becoming established, in their chosen professions or trades.. However, the' objections 'were overruled because of what was termed an apparent necessity to build our armed might on a scale sufficient to stop the westward move of Communism. Seven K. of C.

Ruling Says Klamath Must Pay Ousted Teacher SALEM, Ore., April 10. (Pi Attorney General Neuner ruled yesterday that a district school superintendent under a county unit plan has to be notified by March 15 if he is to be dismissed for the following school year. The o p i n o i n, requested by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Rex Putnam, holds that such a superintendent has the same status as a teacher un der the law requiring teachers be given their dismissal notices before March 15. Putnam asked the opinoin in connection with a dispute in the Klamath County school district. It means that the school board will have to pay a superinten dent's salary next year to Harold Ashley, superintendent who was dismissed March 22. The board hired Carroll B. Howe, stale supervisor of second ary education, to succeed Ashley. It will have to pay Howe's regu lar salary, too.
