(IP) The Hercules Powder com
pany announced Monday it will
build a pilot plant at Klamath
Falls, Ore., for study of the chem
istry ol western woods. It may be
a forerunner of extensive expan
sion In the west. .
Property of some 50 acres was
bought for the project from the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company.
It Includes several small buildings,
a powerhouse, railroad sidings,
fire lines and a water tower.
Hercules has been conducting
research on western woods for
two years and further process re
search Is planned at the new
location.
"The western woods contain a
number of interesting organic
chemicals," A. E. Forster, a direc
tor of the company said. "These

"Hercules will make use of ex
tensive experience In the extrac-
, tion of chemicals from pine wood
gained In the southeastern United
States. Depending upon the re
sults of the pilot plant work In
Klamath Falls, Hercules may re
quire, at some time in the future,
substantial manufacturing facili
ties in the western states.

record in the long controversy
over military unification which
first fastened attention on him
for possible appointment as chief
of naval operations.
Back in lswe ne and tne men
Mai. Gen. Laurls Morstad of the
Air Force found common ground
on which to work out a com
promise on unification. Both were
air officers.
Sherman was the negotiator
for the Navy when the Armv
and the then Army Air Forces
sought to produce a compromise
bill that would meet some of the
objections to unification raised
by the Navy department.
The proposals produced by the
small group of nigh Navy and
Air Force officials, of which
Sherman and Norstad wore mem
bers, received the approval of
President Truman and the com
promise version became the uni
fication law with passage by Con
gress. ,
Knows Carrier Operation
The admiral Is thoroughly fa
miliar with carrier operation,
which now hat become the basic
plan around which all naval
striking forces are built. He
knows the administrative prob
lems in Washington where he
has served a number of times
and the harsh realities of com
bat. Of that, he saw much in the
Pacific campaign of World War
II. Among his war commands
was the original carrier Wasp,
sunk in the Solomon Islands bat
tle of-Sept., 1942.
It appears to have been Sher
man's experiences in the air-land-sea
Pacific war that convinced
him of the need for unified com
mand at Washington. He has said
that every successful offensive
In the Pacific was made possible
by combined planning among the
sea, air and land commadcrs of
that theater.
Sherman, 53 years last Sunday,

Congressmen Dissent . .
The administration figures that
congress practically committed it
self to providing the extra funds
when it enacted or let stand the
program of activities on which
the spending would be incurred.
Some top congressional figures
on the Democratic as well as the
Republican side gave some show
of thinking otherwise when Mr.
Truman said raising taxes is the
only way he knows to balance the
Duaget.
They said a better way to bal
ance the budget Is to cut spend
ingand congress, meeting next
in an election year, is more likely
to reduce taxes than raise them.
The president's revised figures,
however, attested to the collapse
of "economy drive" talk that
reached a high pitch everul
times in Congress this year.

ward the achievement of the pro
gram or the purposes of the com
munist party, any fascist organi
zation, or other totalitarian move
ment, rather than the oDiectives
and policies set forth in the con
stitution of the CIO."
OusteitVote Overwhelming
Walter P. Reuther's Dowerful
resolutions committee reported it
had approved "by overwhelming
vote" the expulsion of the United
Electrical Workers and the Farm
Equipment Workers.
The two unions had nulled off
a quick merger last week, but it
wasn't recognized by the CIO.
The UE, with up to 450,000
members, and FE with another
20,000 will be the first to feel the
right-wing axe. UEs delegates,
giving up the fight to remain in
the CIU, walked out oi tne con
vention yesterday, issued a ter
rific blast at President Philip
Murray and Secretary-Treasurer
James a. carey, ana announcea it
would pay no more dues to the
CIO.
With only Harry Bridges of the
Longshoremen, Abram Flaxer, of
the United Public Workers, and
James Durkin of the Office and
Professional Workers dissenting,
the resolution to revoke UE's
charter was adopted in com
mittee. The third union marked for cer
tain expulsion in the pre-conven-tlon
speculation was the Mine,
Mil) -and Smelter Workers, whose
leaders have heaped criticism on
Murray and other rightist CIO
officers.
Bridges Voices Defiance
Bridges, probably the most out
spoken among the left wing lead
ers, took the floor In the debate
yesterday with mixed applause
and boos.
Bridges was roundly booed
when he shouted: "we are not
going to change our ways those
ways have brought results for
our union."
Bridges said the proposed con
stitutional change could have
been made just as easily last
May, he shouted:
"Now you've got the false
whiskers. Now you've got Com
munism. "But I say .Communism Is not
the Issue. The issue is that there
shall be no minority opposition.
Oh, sure, you can speakv all
right. But when you get into your
local unions you'd better vote our
way." ' '
"That Is regimentation," Bridg
es declared. s .
"To get rid of us Vo-u'U have
to throw us out," he shouted.
There were cries of "good!
good!" In the hall.
But Bridges continued; He said,
"we'll stay in here and fight.
We're not going to take a walk.
We'll take the hat and try to
make our position .:lear."

County Engineer Advises
Discontinuance Of Bridge
County Road Engineer Floyd
Frear has recommended to the
county court that Morningstar
bridge on Hayhurst county road
No. 24 be vacated.
The recommendation was made
following investigation ordered by
the court.
Frear's report showed that
there is no necessity nor Is it ad
visable to preserve the bridge for
the general road system, as It is
at present unsafe, and would be
costly to replace or repair.
All affected residents have In
gress and egress to and from the
area by the Elk creek road 197 on
the south side, and the bridge has
had very little travel since the
new road was put In, he reported.
