STANTON The Western Forest Industries Association' is conducting a series of meetings in Douglas County this week to tighten its organization created primarily to oppose the cooperative contract program of sustained yield forest management. The controversy anent sustained yield is beginning to assume greater proportions as representatives on both sides organize for a showdown battle anticipated at public hearings sched uled to be conducted during the summer months before Con gressional committees. The WFIA claims it does not oppose sustained yield, and, in fact, declares itself in favor of sustained yield manage ment. It does, however, oppose cooperative contracts, insist ing that sales of federally-owned timber be exclusively on a competitive basis. Proponents, on the other hand, contend that no effective sustained yield program can be maintained on lands in which private and federal holdings are inter mingled, except on a cooperative contract basis, and that the sustained yield program, as proposed, will encourage fuller utilization, protection to communities against the danger of becoming ghost towns, greater permanence with in the industry, which traditionally is. one of the most un stable, and give assurance of more jobs and larger payrolls. Opponents, claim that the program will do the exact oppo site. The principal argument advanced by opponents, how ever, is a sentimental one, charging that small operators will be forced out of business and the industry monopolized by "big interests. This writer is an earnest advocate of the sustained yield program. The form as currently proposed needs minor re. visions, in our opinion, but, according to our beliefs, is the most workable so far proposed. However, we believe that a matter as vital to the future of the area should receive the most thorough study. The more controversy, the more argu ment, the more ideas expounded, the better will be the final solution. The chief danger lies in the possibility, that only one side will be active in its presentation. This is a matter affecting ALL people in the Pacific Northwest, regardless of whether they are directly connected with the lumber iiv dustry and, therefore, ALL people should bo informed and should participate in arriving at a decision. . We have one good example of contractual sustained yield operation. The Simpson Logging Co. at Shelton, Wash., has just completed its first year under a contract with the U. S Forest Service. Far from being a "big" operator, the Simp son company's Shelton plant is geared to local requirements of approximately 100 million board feet annually. That's about 40,000 feet daily capacity, or a mill with about one third the capacity of "Ken" Ford's Roseburg Lumber Co. mill in Roseburg. The company at the timo of its contract a year ago owned about one billion feet of merchantable timber on 20,000 THE Supreme Court of the United States moves Into the troubled question involved when esldonuai neighborhoods that cros f ,and '' ' addition, had 138,000 acres of land . ire predominantly white. ; You can't do it by law, the high i :ourt says. But at the same time ; A adds that It CAN be done by voluntary means. The court says: '. . 1. White owners of property ' can get together AMONG THEM '. SELVES and make all the PRI- VATE restrictive agreements they 'wish so long as the purposes are "carried out by voluntary means -alone, 2. No matter how dlschimlna tory or wrongful such private . agreements may be, those ex eluded because of them can ex pect to find no redress In the 14th amendment to the con9tltu- tlon. " ' THIS writer doesn't know much about law, but that sounds "llke good common 6ense. We'll never gat far toward a solution Z .ol our race problpm by FORCING people to live together when they I . don't want to live together. COLOMBIA severs diplomatic relations with Russia. Bogota, you will remember, is the capital of Colombia, tnd It was In Bogota where the bloody and not at all ".'usual revolt of a few weeks ago occurred. There lias been strong suspicion that the revolt was J ; started or at least aided by Com- munlsts. " Meanwhile, it would be Interest ing to know who shot Galtan, T." whose assasslnulion touched off -the uprising. Somebody must -!know who did it. Woman Arouses UTtom 12-Yr. Sleep WHITE FINE, Tenn., May 6. " (,pi A 12-year "sleep" has ended Z ' for a 52-year-old Tennessean. Dr. Jarret Williams reported that Mrs. Clara Runnels, suffer "' ing with what he called a mild " form of encephalitis, had been . unable from all Recounts to ree- ognize anyone until recently. Mrs. uunncis HpiNirrnuy iv Z'. members little of the 12 years she spent ahed, the doctor added. Her first words spoken since 2 ," she became 111 In l!)3fi were ad . . dressed a short time ago tn her sister-in-law, Mrs. Alfred Sartaln, with whom she lives. ' Following a dally custom of . lone standing, Mrs. Sartain went to Mrs. Runnels' room and asked "how are vou this morning?" " "I am fust fine." the patient Z'. said, opening her eyes. "How are . you?" ' That brief conversation, Mis. Sarlain said, almost scared her out of her wits. Nowadays, Mrs. Runnels Is up and about the house. supporting reproduction of various ages from 70 years down to recent cutovers, the bulk of tho reproduction land sup porting stands 80 years of ago or lcfis. Forest service timber with a sustained yield capacity of 48 million feet per year was grouped with the company's holdings. Without National Forest timber, the company would have cleaned up its supply of merchantable timber in about 10 years, leaving a ghost town. Had the National Forest timber been offered on a competitive basis, and had the Simpson Co. purchased all of it, production could have been main tained at present capacity for a period of about 19 years, and then, with its own supplies gone, it would have only the National Forest sustained capacity of 48 million annually or less that one-half needed supply, for a period of 20 to 80 years while awaiting reproduction on its own lands. But by grouping the timber resources and setting up a sustained yield projoct, the company will cut at the rate of 100 million feet for 10 years, then drop to a permanent level of 00 to 01 million feet. But hero is tho payoff: Employment during the year jumped from 1,350 to 1,800 persons. This, of courso, includes other operations than the Shelton plant alone. A woodfiber plant was built employing 200 men and using materials formerly burned for fuel. There were no layoffs in logging camps during bad weather as the men wero moved into utilization operations. At tho Bume time, numerous improve ments were made to nil facilities. The company's report contains the significant statement, "More jobs are coming out of each tree than ever before." Wo believe that slogan should bo tho measuring stick for consideration of the sustained yield program. More jobs from each tree means more prosperous communities. Federally-owned timber is publicly-owned timber and the interests of tho public demand first consideration. LETTERS to the Editor Roseburg Urged fo Keep All of Its Trees KUSKBUliO Regarding your recent article about a proposed parking space versus flno old trees on North Jackson St., why could not the difficulty be solved by imitating Washington, I. C? I watched a parking place bring Kaved near a government offloe ullding. There were half a dozen ordinary trees already scattered on the lot and instead of cutting them down, the paving was con structed around them so thai auto mobiles could be parked in their shade. When the South Talking was made hack of the Pentagon building there were no lives on the ground, so the government planted them in regular rows all uver the parking lot. Low ridges of cement were hulll around the trees to keen autos from mnnine against them. Roseburg does not have too many trees. By all means let's keep all there are. Melrose Star Rt.
