LET'S FACE FACTS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Residents of the Winchester area don't want a puip mill
fn that locality.
We can't say that we blame them in the least. If we
had a beautiful home on the banks of a beautiful river, we
too would be unhappy if a pulp mill should be set in our
hnrV varH.
It is unfortunate that, under existing conditions, there is
no other site available. Winchester is the only place in the
county where there can be
(iHiopont tn mil nnrl hicrhwav
Winchester residents are
tion nf a miln mill. Their action
lion into possible sites has been made by the Container Cor
poration of America, one of the nation's largest users of
Kraft paper.
While the action taken by Winchester property owners
may come within the compass of the old adage of not cross
ing bridges until you come to them, it probably is just as
we!! that it be determined now wnetner enons 10 Keep ijuiij
mills out of the county are to be successful. We have no as
R.imncB that. Container cornoration will locate a plant here.
It has several sites under consideration. But it is our opin
ion that if the company now investigating sites docsn t se
lect this locality, some other outfit will. It is only a matter
of time, we believe, until pulp production is started. The
opportunity is too great to Keep tne Dooming muuaujr
unless widespread resistance is developed.
Best Long-Range Outlook
No timber center on the
range advantages for pulp production. Our ma.ior disad
vantage is found in our limited sawmill capacity. Pulp mills
prefer to use sawmill waste, rather than bother with logs.
A pulp plant located in the Roseburg area probably would
be compelled to supplement its supply of mill waste with
log utilization.
Waste from tributary sawmills probably would be in
sufficient to keep a pulp mill operating at capacity. Some
of our neighboring counties, however, are cutting two or
three times as much lumber as Douglas county mills. But
these neighboring counties have passed their production
peak. A pulp mill might be able at present to obtain a larger
supply of sawmill waste in Lane county, for in
stance, than in Douglas county, but .a few years hence
might find it extremely difficult to get either waste or logs.
Douglas county's timber resource has barely been
tapped. We have an assured perpetual operation, because
of the heavy preponderance of publicly-owned lands which
must be operated on sustained yield basis. A pulp mill on
the ground floor of this development would be assured of
long life.
We face another of those frequent problems which ac
company progress. Do damages outweigh benefits, or do the
benefits justify acoompanying injuries? Many beautiful
homes have been built in the Winchester community. Land
and water have many recreational uses.Would the dam
age to people living in the Winchester community and en
joying it recreational advantages be a greater loss to the
community than the benefits of a $16,000,000 industrial in
stallation and continuing payrolls?
Damages Exaggerated
We believe there can be only one real objection to the
location of a pulp mill at Winchester. That, however, is a
solid objection. A pulp mill "stinks." Anyone who has ever
beer, aronnd a pulp mill knows that the odor is far from
pleasant.
From all the information we have been able to gather,
a Kraft mill does not seriously pollute a stream and the
pollution reaching the river is not materially detrimental to
fish life.
Lurid descriptions of destruction of fishery resources
quoted by opponents refer to conditions resulting from mills
using the sulphite process rather than the sulphate process
of Ilraft mills, such as would be located at Winchester. We
have been told by what we consider competent authority
that a Kraft mill would not necessarily impair the fish pop
ulation of the Umpqua river.
This column has consistently fought for the sports fish
ery of the river. We have turned thumbs down on any sul
phite mill unless it is equipped with anti-uollution devices.
We have, at tho same time, urged a higher degree of
wood waste utilization. We have been crying for processes
to stop the criminal waste of usable wood now going into
burners. We would hardly be consistent if we opposed an
installation which could utilize this waste, providing the
fishery resource is not seriously endangered.
It is unfortunate that no suitable site exists in a less pop
ulated area. But unless some more favorable site can be de
veloped, we are almost certain to have a pulp mill even
tually at or near Winchester.
Other communities live with pulp mills and seem to
prosper. We hear much complaint concerning odor, but we
imagine a sustained roar of protest would develop if any
manufacturer were to propose moving his plant.

on a slanting two acres of pasture

gress stated they would accept his
challenge and would cut his
budget.
Then the tortuous preress of
spending the taxpayers' money got
underway. This is how it works.
Each executive agency has a
budget officer who estimates the
requirements for his particular bu
reau. These are submitted to the
Bureau of the Budget, an arm ot
the office of the President. The
budget bureau. Iheorclically,
squeezes the water out of the re
quests before approving them and
submitting the budget documents
to Ihe White House. Alter the Pres
ident approves the budget, he
sends it to Congress with a speech
called a budget message. In the
message he outlines in broad gen
frnlitii the amount reauired and
(ne pUrp0scs for which it will be
spent
After Congress gets the budget
it Is referred lo the appropriations
committees of both houses and
hearings are conducted. The var
ious departments and agencies
testify as to the necessity for
spending as much as the President
has proposed. About the same timt
the budget is received in Congress,
the President also submits a tax
message. He asks for more taxes,
or less taxes, in accordance with
his estimates as to revenue bal-
nced against expenditures. This
year President Truman asked for
16 billions In new taxes.
Members of Congress are fre
quently portrayed in cartoons as
men who hate to vole new taxes,
hut dearly love to spend the tax
dollar. This impression is not alto
gether correct. In 15 years in the
Senate I have found many of my
colleagues are becoming Increas
ingly alarmed by the gradually
worsening fiscal picture: the
mounting taxes, the mounting
spending; the mounting debt.
There is a group of us in the
Congress who have been fighting
for years to achieve economy in
the operation of the federal gov-j

United States. Last January
his budget to Congress. It
truly astonishing request for
the national debt stood at the
cess during the 80th Congress when
1 was chairman of the Senate
Appropriations committee. By
cutting spending we succeeded in
balancing the budget and actually
reduced taxes. Since that time, the
"economy group" has had rough
sledding.
This year there appears to be a
groundswell of public opinion
against the frills of federal gov
ernment. It has helped those who
work for economy. We have con
sidered only a fraction of the
budget as this is written. Only one
of Ihe spending bills has been en
acted and sent to the While House
for signature, but the floor action
on five other bills gives in a fair
picture of the trend. The bills
coer a total of 14 billions requested
bv Ihe President. Congress a p
proved 12 6 billion. This is squeez
ing 1.4 billion out of the budget and
represents about a 10 percent cut
If the "economy group" could
maintain this average we would
make an excellent showing. I se
riously donbt if we can save as
much as 3 billions. 1 would expect
that the total savings will be
between 4 and 6 billions and this
is still a very respectable saving.
The administration has trimmed
its request for new taxes since
President Truman asked for 16
billions in new lax money. Secre
tary Snyder came before Congress
and announced that revenue esti
mates had been raised (largely, I
might sav, as the result of infla
tion) and that 10 billions in new
taxes would be enough. Thereafter,
the House of Representatives
passed a bill calling for 7 2 bil
lions in new taxes. This bill is now ,
in the Senate Finance committee.
I am in favor of waiting to pass
the tax bill until we see how the
economy drive succeeds. Each
dollar we save in appropriations is
a dollar we don't need to raise by
taxation.
The two largest items in the
budget have not been considered
on the floor of either house. One is
the 60 billion plus defense bill and
Ihe other is the foreign aid bill.
One would naturally expect the
largest savings lo come in the
largest requests. The drive for
economy is slill in Ihe balance.
Any lack of interest on the part of
the folks back home will be re
flected in the votes in Congress. We
are striving for roll call votes on
economy amendments. They
should make interesting reading in
1952.
Figures recently released by
the Commerce department indi
catp we have spent over 80 billions
in foreign aid since July 1- 1940.
During the 1951-S: fiscal year the
Tnian administration proposes
we spend another 8.5 billions fur
foreign aid. I have supported the
various
aid programs, l Dcneve
the theory of collective security is
worth trying. But I feel very
strongly that our aid programs,
should show definite results.
The free world and the admin
istratien must realize that our re
sources are limited. We are scrap
ing Ihe bottom of the tax barrel
today. Our domestic spending has
reachcJK dizzy all-time heights.

move in more troops ind supplies.)
Question:
If you were engaged in a big deal
ajid both sides were as suspicious
of each other as we and the reds
obviously are in Korea, do you
reckon there would be any chance
to put the deal through?
I doubt it.
And if we should put through a
truce deal at Kacsong, in this at
mosphere of clabbered suspicion,
do you reckon it would stick?
Maybe so but it's hard to be
lieve. BUT
American battle casualties In
Korea were only 351 during the
last week 21 killed, 317 wounded
and 13 missing. That's the small
est total since weekly casualty lists
were first issued a year ago.
I'd say that working on a truce
that hasn't much chance to sue i
ceed is at least better than going 1
on fighting a bloody war we can't '
possibly hope to win. I
How bloody is the Korean war?
As of the end of last week, U. S.
battle casualties in Korea total
80,430 of which 11,954 have been
killed in action, 56,215 have been
wounded and 12,261 are missing.
Those are COMBAT casualties.
In May, General Bradley told a
senate committee that the non
combat (sickness, aecidents, elc.)
casualties in Korea totalled 72,679,
including 612 deaths.
On the basis of those figures,
you could hardly call Korea a mere
skirmish.
From Washington:
"Some Republican congressmen
think President Truman should set
an example of simple living and
saving by giving up his Presdent
ia) yacht and airplane.
"Representative Scrivener (Re
publican, from Kansas) said about
5500,000 of the 56 billion dollar de
fense appropriation bill now under
house consideration is earmarked
for operation of the Presidential !
yacht Williamsburg."
That crack, I'd say, Is POLIT
ICAL SKIRMISHING.
If the Republicans think the
President should not be permitted
to spend half a million dollars of
defense funds for operating his
yacht, the Williamsburg, they
should pass a law doing away with
the Presidential yacht and thus
saving that much monev.
That would be a DEED.
It's DEEDS that count.
and short of many of the other
materials needed for defense. Un
der such circumstances, our ef
forts to help others must be very
practical.
As an example of the impractical
nature of the present program I
can cite my mandatory labeling
amendment. It was a very simple
amendment which I offered each
year to the ECA bill. It merely re
quired that goods shipped from the
United States under the ECA act
be labeled so lhat the recipients
would realize that Uncle Sam was
the person who was helping them.
It is inconceivable to me that the
administration should fight against
such an amendment. Yet, my la
beling amendment has been de
feated three years running. I am
hopeful that Congress will be more
realistic about foreign aid this
year; that at least we will Insist
that the people of other nations
give the American taxpayer credit
for helping them to arm them
selves and improve their lot eco
nomically. RETURNS TO BASE
