"The forest service," Mason said, "harvests timber on a sus tained yield basis. "In some areas only mature or undesirable trees are cut each year. "On the other hand, certain spe cies of trees are clear cut in patches, and if natural reseedlng does not take place in a reason able length of time after logging li completed, trees are planted. "In this way, the national for ests will go on producing good timber for all time." The State of Washington was named after George Washington and Is the only state named after a President. APPLIANCES MADE (or Qirldh mad Operated Store Phone 73 Jobs For Everyone Urged By Truman On Labor Confab i WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 UP) President Truman said today it will take the best efforts of all citizens to use the nation's re sources in a way that will assure Jobs for everyone. That was the - message the president sent to the opening meeting of the labor department's annual conierenoe oi state la bor commissioners and repre sentatives of labor unions. - The group meets each year to review state and federal labor laws and exchange views on how they can be Improved. Mr. Truman's message, read for him by Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin, said: 'You meet at a time when, de spite nearly record levels of em ployment, special unemployment problems exist In certain areas or the country. "We need tne experience ana ingenuity of all pur citizens in mobilizing our resources to af ford them full opportunity to work free from the fear of eco nomic insecurity. "I am sure vou will make a constructive contribution to this high purpose." Social Progress Noted The Dresldent said the past year was "marked by commend able social progress for all the people through advances in fed eral and state laws protecting and promoting the well-being of wage-earners. Mr. Truman noted recent acts of Congress raising the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour and adding to the functions of the labor department, He praised "liberal changes In your state laws" on labor. Delegates to the conference were from 40 states, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

Such em ployment was 30,000,000 in 1939 and 45,000,000 in 1948. "During the past decade, Clague said, "the payroll dollars have risen even more spectacu larly than ecployment. Dollars earned by manufacturing produc tion workers were three and a half times as high in 1948 as they had been in 1939. The same spectacular in creases in dollar payrolls occur red in other industry groups also." Clague . said average weekly earnings of manufacturing work ers rose from JZi.sb a week in 1939 to $54.14 In 1948, a gain ot about 127 per cent. ' Clague said that "in virtually all industries, annual earnings more than doubled during the 10-year span," due to Increasing year-around employment.

Relocation Of Highway Link Is Considered (Continued from Page One) north of the present city limit. From the scale house to the city limits the new highway would again cut off east of the present highway, coming into the city along the line of Vine street, rejoining the present route neav the Turn Around inn. Lytle said plans might call for couatiucliuii uf an ovti'iaii at that point, as the present high way would be used for local traf- lie. Within the city, Pine street would be used for southbound traffic between Douglas street and the south city limits, and Stephens street for northbound traffic. A diagonal approach to Pine street would be construct ed between Douglas and Wash ington streets. Connection be tween Pine street and the high way also would be constructed south of South street. The new highway between Win chester and Roseburg would be four lanes wide. Pine street would be widened to about 40 feet between curbs. Lytle explained that no esti mates of cost for right-of-ways or construction can be given out at the present time. He also said no decision has been reached as to when the work may start. How ever, R. H. Baldock, highway commission engineer, informed him that the section to be con structed first would probably be that between the city limis and the truck scale house, a distance of about two miles. Lytle told the planning com mission that a recent traffic count showed 11,000 cars a day passing the Garden Valley junc tion of the Pacific hlghwzy, with 4,ooo cars turning into the uar den' Valley road from the high way. The planning commission gave Its approval last night to the plans presented by Lytle. Soviet Strikes At Tito In Call For Overthrow (Continued from Page One) Yugoslav communist party un der Tito's leadership "has lost the right to be called a Commu nist party." Yugoslavia was expelled from the Comlnform in June, 1948, on charges that the Tito government was anti-Soviet and refusing to follow tarditional Stalin-Leninist principles of Communism. West Powers Assailed As a warning against "Tito- 1sm" in other Communist par ties the communique declared: ' Aeents of the Tito cliaue are today acting as the bitterest split ters in the ranks of the working class and the democratic move ments and are carrying out the will of the American Imperial ists." "For this reason," it added, "a decisive struggle is necessary against the intrigues of these agents of the imperialists wher ever they try to work in the work ers and democratic organiza tions." .: .r- .1 Another resolution charged the Western powers with preparing for a new World war. "The whole policy," It said, "of the Anglo-American ' Imper ialist bloc serves lmthe prepara tion of a new war." It said this policy was shown In the transformation of Western Germany and Japan Into "hot beds of Fascism" and the West's "disruption of a peace settlement with Germany and Japan." "This policy also finds its ex pression, said the resolution, "in the refusal of the Anglo-American bloc to prohibit atomic weapons despite the collapse of the legend of American atomic monopoly, and in the fanning of war hysteria by all possible means.

(eeed m axon xmw Latest "Wonder" Drug Cures First Cases Treated PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29 ( Doctors at Pennsyvlanla hospi tal reported today one of sci ence's newest "wonder" drugs neomycin has been given to hu mans for the first time. Two male patient suffering from urinary tract infections were administered the drug, the hospital said with complete cures affected after six days. Neomycin is a drug-brother of a streptomycin. Both are made irom the same material a sou luneus. Treatment of the two patients was supervised by Dr. Garfield G. Duncan, director of the Divi sion of Medicine at Pennsylvania hospital. "The drug had never been giv en to humans oeiore," Dr. uun can said. "It was administered successfully only on experimen tal animals. We weren't sure, and still aren't, whether It would have harmful toxic effects on hu mans." The two patients, both report ed near death, agreed to risk possible after-affects on chance the drug might work. Dr. Duncan said he couldn't distinguish any visual difference between neomycin ana strepto mycin. Both drugs look exactly the same. "The difference, actually, is in the method of extraction from the soil microbe known as strop tomyces fradiae," Dr. Duncan said. ' The two patients who under went successful neomycin treat ment were Ralph Pltzer, 47-year- old Biglersvllle, Pa., fruit grow er, and Alfred Jones, 64, of Phil adelrjhia. Dr. Duncan said he decided to try neomycin after treatment us ing penicillin, aureomycin, strep tomycin and Chloromycetin. "The other drugs partially cleared up the infection but couldn't kill all the organisms that were causing the illness," Dr. Duncan said, adding: "Neomycin will be used In a very wide range of disorders but I wouldn't be able, to tell in ad vance what it might cure or not. "We will use it only in cases in which streptomycin or other known anti-biolic drugs prove in effective. "That's the only excuse to use it until we know more about neo mycin."
