PLANNING OUR INDUSTRY'
By CHARLES V. STANTON
A BUKffestnd pattern for orderly development of our
timber industry has been prepared and noon will be avail
able for distribution in printed form. From its recommen
dations we should be able to increase our industrial pro
duction without materially raising the rate of timber re
moval. The pattern 0is laid out in the economic and industrial
Kurvey of the I'mpqtia drainage system conducted by a
jfroup of federalf state and county agencies, cooperating
with chambers of commerce at rtoseburtr, Myrtle Creek
and Riddle. It is an interesting report, the first of its
kind to be. compiled in the United States.
Plans for the survey were made last spring. Represen
tatives of various federal and state agencies saw a need
for more orderly and complete utilization of our natural
resources particularly thn timber resource. Kach agency
had some material bearing on the subject of industrial
usage of resources, but no method existed for bringing all
this information'.togelher.
The Bureau of Land Management look the lead in or
ganizing a pool of experts representing more than a score
of agencies. Kach agency agreed to make all its infor
mation available to the central panel.
Learning of the plan, e asked to be the first com
munity surveyed. The request was honored because of the
newness of the timber industry in the county, coupled with
the rapid rate of expansion. This offered an opportunity
to create an orderly pattern while the industry still was
new and before the resource became depleted.
Local Cooperation Given
The cooperating chambers of commerce employed Trof.
C. A. Broders of Oregon State college to gather field notes
within the county. His information then was placed before
a panel of economic and industrial experts from the V. S.
Forest service, Oregon Forest Products laboratory, Bureau
of Land Afanngement and other cooperating state and fed
eral departments. The panel of experts outlined the pattern
of the report, the material to be included, research studies,
etc. Prof. Rroders, with assistance from various sources,
then set about compiling the information.
He has condensed the report into 100 pages of type
written material, but n large volume of supplemental in
formation has been furnished to augment the report itself,
while service of each of the contributing agencies have
been offered to assist the chambers of commerce in put
ting recommendations into execution.
Many Opportunities Suggested
The survey shows we already have capacity in saw
mills and plywood plants to overcut. our timber resource
at a rale one-lhird higher than the allowable sustained
yield figure. Too, we are in critical need of access roads.
These roads are essential if our timber cut is to be man
aged properly. Many opportunities exist for secondary
manufacture, primarily a Kraft-type pulp mill, board
planU, bark utilization, etc. Cut slock from Douglas fir
and native hardwoods would find ready market.; The re
port suggests many ways we can increase industry and
employment without adding to the number of trees cut.
Money expended for the survey will be wasted if we
simply file Ihe report for reference material. It 'must be
put into operation. Other communities are to be given sim
ilar surveys. We have the opportunity to get into suggested
markets ahead of competition if we act fast.
Cooperative Effort Needed
The survey comes at an opportune time. We are enter
ing upon a period of wartime economy. Observers believe
this condition of impending or ultimate actual war will con
tinue at least five years. During the period there will be
a ronstant demand for wood products. In such times cap
ital usually is available for essential industrial installations.
The defense effort will demand many forms of crating
material planks, plywood, veneer, waterproof paper and
cardboard all of which can be produced locally. C u t
stock will be required for thousands of defense uses. Lum
ber will be needed for camps, housing, etc. We can supply
an abundance of these materials.
We will need to know the specific requirements of the
defense effort, to learn what we can supply, and then fi
nance the installations to provide the products.
We would like to suggest to our industrial leaders that
they meet and set up a cooperative organization: that they
finance employment of a market engineer: that, this market
engineer be Instructed to learn from defense agencies, com
panies making defense materials, etc., the products we can
supply, and that the organization then, cooperatively, either
set up the necessary production plants, or endeavor to at
tract outside capital.
We believe such plans would result in tremendous de
velopment of our industry along the line proposed in the
report. We also believe we will never have a better oppor
tunity than now.

proximating shooting war has
heen going on for years. Malaya is
one of communist China's next
objectives in Asia. How are the
British going to pull any troops
away Horn there tor service in
Europe?
France?
1 think we'd better forget France.
The French have their hands full
in InrJo-China. The communist
parly is VKRY strong in France.
The statement is'heing flatly made
and not satisfactorily .ontrndicled
that the French will NEVKR fight j
Russia.

that in two war? thrse people (fine ,
people, hut not strong militarily) j
haven't been able to do much us-'
laincd fighting. '
That leaves Germany.
Germany is a conquered nation, j
Her people are saying they WON'T
FIGHT except as FREF, people
as full partners. The French say
they won't stand for a free and
independent German army.
How are we going to get around
that impasse?
"What shall we do about Christ
mas. . . this year?" I remember
the one after Pearl Harbor, in 1141.
We were still wailing for some
word from or about our 17-year old
lad who had been there that fateful
December 7. Our other son was in
Navy school in San Hiego, soon to
ship out.
'I can't he home for Christmas,"
he had told us the previous Satur
day at the naval ';ale. "We have
to keep our guns hy our chairs, and
our canteens tilled, ready for any
thing. And. wo have to wear our
heavy sweaters-" that sweater was
his greatest Irial at the moment
Ho added: "We can't go beyord
sound of the siren when outside
the gate. . . "
j So wo wondered what to do about
j Christmas. . . this year? I couldn't
remember a Christmas wilhout a
tree. Hill - now? With no harl for
it, we looked at trees one evening,
and then I saw our tree! It was
aimy one, not over Iwo feel, priced
above the biggest ones, but oh. it
was covered with tiny cones, and
there was something about it lhat
eomlorted me, lhat met mv need.
So we look il home and pi:l it on
the desk out on Ihe ijbssed in
porch.
II needed n trimming really,
with all Ihe rones, over a hundred
nf them! Bui we used a few of Ihe
dear, familiar things put nway the
last year. We had a tree end felt
somehow as if we had withstood
a kind of defeat. And then, oh joy!
In came Iwo lads with shunnf
faces: "The navy gave us leave
while our new barracks are being
built. They took ours for a new
company. Home for two weeks: I
brought Hon home because l,e lives
too far away. "Then with s happy
smile, he added, "I knew Iheie
would be a lice'"
Next year, although a gold
Star was now hanging in Ihe win
dow, we went looking for a tree,

Suppose we should force the Ger

a vassal nation that is FORCED
to fight?
.
Another problem:
THE RUSSIANS HAVE
WARNED THAT THEY WILL
N OT TOLERATE ORGANIZED
REVIVAL OF GERMAN MILI
TARISM. What do they mean by German
"militarism?" They'll define that
for themselves when the time
comes. If they choose, Ihey can de
fine a German army squad, com
manded hy a German corporal, as
a revival of German militarism.
They're good at making their own
definitions.
Now for Ihe hig question:
What will the Russians do if thev
see us organizing an EFFECTIVE
army in Western Europe?
I'd guess they'll move and
MOVE QUICK.
They have plenty nf men and j
plenty of guns and plenty of t?nks j
and plenty of planes to move with. .
They have six armies' poised and'
ready in East Germany. j
It's tough to have to say it. hu' '
in Western Europe there are all the ''
makings of another Korea. !
General Ike has a job on his
hands.
, but never again did we se a little
tree like Ihe one in 1941. A forestry j
; expert said it must have been the j
lip of a large tree, and was, he j
thought, most unusual. We saved
; Ihe cones and put wire hangers on
them to use on later trees.
I This year it is "Korea." Roys
: this year are no different. They,
too, like In think that home at
Christmas will be just the same as;
they remember. The Ctuistmas the !
heart keeps, symbolized for some j
! hy a Christmas tree on which hang I
countless invisible memories along
with Ihe faivjiliar ornaments, is a,
Chrisjmas that cannot he "com-1
mercialized." For this, we thank
I Thee, Lord!
! Let us remember Ihe Christ in
Chrutmas; then our children
wherever they may be. will be
keeping Christmas wtth us.

Yoncallct To Vote
On Bonds For City
Water System
The Voncalla city council Tues
day night voted to submit a $11. V
O(M) bond issue, for modernization
of the city water system, to the vot
ers at a special election Dec. 27.
Actiing on the recommendations
made by consulting engineers at a
Oec. 14 meeting, the council stip
ulated that the bonds were to be
of $500 or $1000. denomination, bear
ing not more than five percent in
terest; the first to be paid olf in
not less than five years; and a per
centage of the water revenue to be
put into a sinking fund to amortize
the debt.
The proposal also calls for a new
storage reservoir and extension,
enlargement of the present lines
and other improvements. Judges
for the special election will be
Mrs. Hwy Mediki. Mrs. Fred
Kruse and Mrs. Dora Benner. Any
registered voter may vote on the
issue if a resident of the precinct
for 30 days and of the state for six
months.
AlUrnitt Plant Out It nod
Archie nice, representing the
consulting engineer firm of Cornell
Howland, Hayes and Merrifield of
Corvallis, explained the proposed
improvements in rielail at the pub
lic meeting held Dec. 14.
Rice outlined the advantages and
disadvantages of three possible
procedures which could be used to
solve the water problem.
The first involves Ihe use of Wil
son creek while the other two plans
would utilize Adams creek under
different systems.
Most practical, he said, appears
to be Wilson creek, from whicn the
city gets its present water supply.
Such a project would cost $53,000,
he estimated. The city has held wa
ter rights on the stream since 1923.
To improve this source. Rice ex
plained that a "compounding" res
ervoir, made of dirt wi'h a capac
ity of 14 million gallons, would be
necessary in addition to a chloritw
tion lant and pump, which would
be used during the summer low
water period. About 8,000 feet of
old pipe would have to be replaced.
Second possible source of water
sucgested was Adams creek, with
the addition of a pumping sys
tem. Douht was expressed that
enough water could be obtained
from this source during the sum
mer period of low water, because
of present water rights on t h e
creek. Total cost of this project
was estimated at til.ooo.
The third alternative, a gravity
water system based on Adams
cieek. was scarcely considered be
cause of the cost figuretat SSI,
ooo. 0
Regardless of the system se
Irvted, there must be a distribu
tion system reservoir of sleel or
uiod wuh a capacity of 2:0.000 gal
lons. Rice said. This would cost
$1,000 and would necessitate a
fund of jas.OOO set aside to be used
dmn0ihe next 20 years to replace
old pipes inside the city limits.

H Report
By FULTON ftwiS JR.
(Copyright, 1 950 King eaturas Syndicate, Inc.)
WASHINGTON Dean Achaton's dismissal from tha Stale
department when and if it comes should be followed in lock
step fashion by'aOt'ke fatajfor at least two of his underlings,
Deputy Under Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Ambassador At
Large Philip Jessup.
Rusk is supposed to be an expert
on the Far East, and as such ac
companied President Truman t o
Wake Island for the conference
with General Douglas MacArthur.
As a Far East export, Rusk as late
as last fall opined that the Chinese
Communists were not Communists
at all, but simply indigenous pa
triots, not at all unlike our own rev
olutionary war heroes.
The facts are that Rusk is not
an expert on the Far East. He has
never served there for the State
department, has no background in
Far Evtern affairs and, on the
basis of his own biography in Ihg
State department register, ha.vonly
a total of four years' experience in
diplomatic matters. Vrom 1940 to
1946 he served overseas with the
army in Europe. Prior to that he
was a college professor. In 1947,
he was appointed director of the of
fice of special political affairs in
the Slate department, and later to
the UN desk. In 1949, he was named
assistant secretary of state and in
May of last year was appointed to
his present post.
Angus Ward, a diplomat with a
lifetime of service in the Orient is
a real export on the Far East. But
Acheson shuffled him off to Kenya
Colony in Africa, where he is an
assistant to a consul not out of his
twenties.
Jessup's major claim to fame is
two personal appearances at the
New York trials where he pro-
claimed his faith in the convicted
tiiiel of State department sec: its
Alger Hiss. He is Acheson's chief
adviser on high policy problems.
He also is a pal of Owen Latti
more, the Baltimore Bugle who
blows off everv week or so about
what we should1 do in Asia. Just
last week, in fact, l.attimore struck
a historic pose for the magazine
U. S. News and World Report in
which he averred:
'There seems to be a whole
range of views about the Chinese
Communists being completely pup
pels ot prisoners of Russian policy,
llon'l know of any hard evidence
on it one way or the other."
U. S. marines and infantrymen
fighting in Korea are probably not
quite as skeptical about Commu
nism as Owen the sage, especially
now that Russian jets are clutter- i ;
ing up the skies. ' I
Jessup has had little or no per-1
sonat experience in or with the Far
East either, although he is palmed I
off on us as an expert. He h a s j
been in and out of the State de- j
partment since 1924, mostly as a
legal adviser. Later he look on sev-,
eral chores for Acheson in connec
tion' with the United Nations, but i
nrne of them had anything to cio I
with the Far East. That has nut
kept him from giving us advice
about what we should do there,
however. i
Acheson is, of course, the big is
sue with most Americans who have
been alert to the sell-out of Chini
to the Communists, But the rest of
his team must not he neglected if
any good is to come from his oust-,
ing.

Dewey's Defense
Advice Rapped
By Congressman
WASHINGTON A fellow
republican Wednesday sharply
criticized the defense rec
ommendations of Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey and said Dewey would Ho
well to leave such matters to pro
fessional soldiers.
Rep. Paul Shafer (R-Mirh)
termed the New York Governor's
recently' broadcast mobilization
proposals as "manifestly absurd"
and Ihe "opening gun in his 1952
nomination campaign" for presi
dent. Shafer, a member of the house
armed forces committee, asked in
a statement for the congressional
recortl how Dewey proposed to
keep and train 100 divisions of 12,
600,000 troops on short notice.
Dewey had called for mobilizing
that many divisions immediately,
as well as inaugurating universal
military service. Shafer asked:
"Has he forgotten, or does he
not know, that today in American
training camps thousands of
drafted men lack uniforms, antl
are waiting for the guns, tanks,
airplanes, and all the flther tools
nf war whirh thrv shnuld nnw hp
learning to use?
j "What little we had was sent
I to Korea does Gov. Dewey
! understand that war production
the manufacture of arms and muni
tionsis our first need? the
i men to yield those weapons can he
i calletl and trained quickly enough,
j when the weapons have been pro
; duced."
j Shafer said "this purely and
' quite ill-advised radio speech, I
, believe, was inspired by Dewey's
I itch to get back into the national
! political arena" and to be the
GOP presidential candidate agaifi.

goat's milk without worrying that
it will grow up to look like a goal.
But you can't take a gang of crew
cuts out of Harvard and Vale every
year and wean thorn on the Ache-son-Jossup-Rusk
diet without get
ting out of them about what is put
in. In the State department they
catch those kids young, fill their
hea. with that kind of stuff, and
then, before they are even 30 years
old, pass them off on us as experts.
For instance, take our ambassa
dor to Korea, John Muccio. Muc
cio should know better, since he
was chased all over South Korea
by the North Korean Communists.
But he doesn't. Interviewed by
Rep. Hugh Scott, of Pennsylvania,
former chairman of the Republican
National committee, Muccio said
the Russians had every right
to arm the North Koreans because
the U. S. armed Chiang Kai-Sh
and his hunch of crooks. He told
Scott that we were not fighting
! Communists in Korea; he said that
we were fighting aggression.
Maybe you wonder why supposedly
sane men make such statements
while American boys are dying
from Communist bullets in Korea.
So do I.
But there is one thin on which
we probably can agree. It isn t
simple idiocy, despite the fact that
it looks like it. There is some un
