Coupled with political activity will be a continuation of business and industrial expansion, to gether witn population growth. Takins- inventory of our needs for the year, we find ac cess roads taking the top spot on our priority list. Exten sion of the North Umpqua road into the Umpqua National Forest is vitally important. We have locked up there more than 100,000,000 board feet of Btumpage available an nually on a sustained yield basis. We need only to build the roads necessary to permit the logs to be transported to mills. An additional 100,000,000 board feet added to our source of sunnlv would civ us better opportunity to bal ance cutting on private and public lands, and would also bolster installations now scraping the bottom of the supply barrel. Steps already have been taken to improve access routes into the .Hubbard creek burn, where we have a huge sal. vage problem. Construction of an access road between Sutherhn and Glide is under consideration. The year 1052 should see an important advancement in the access road project. Another problem that should be vigorously attacked in 1052 is that of management of controverted lands. The con troverted lands are associated with the. access road situa tion. Controverted lands are lands 10 miles in width on each side of the original grants of alternate sections 20 miles on each side of the O. & C. railroad right of way, The original grant was given the railroad company to fi nance construction of the rail line between Portland and Sun Francisco. Terms Of Act Violated When the railroad company began selling land from the original grant, It was found that much acreage had been settled by squatters. Rather than displace the set tlers, the government gave the raiload company every al ternate seftlon. f or a distance of ten miles on each side of the first grant. O. & 'J. lands were revested in the federal government when the Southern Pacific company, which succeeded the uregon & Uililorma comp.'iny, violated terms of the grant. Administration was placed in the hands of the General Land Office, which later was absorbed by the Bureau of Land Management. Through some error, no provision was made for management of the controverted lands. Both the De partment of Interior, of which the BLM is a part, and the Department of Agriculture, through the U.S. Forest Serv ice, claim jurisdiction. A temporary arrangement of ad ministration, in which one department must approve the action of the other, is now in operation. It is impossible to woric out a permjyient plan of road construction and tim ber sales until the controversy is ironed out or some agree ment reamed between departments. Improved Highway In Prospect Closdv allied with the access road program on the 1952 agenda is the reconstruction of Highway 99 through Doue- las County. A start In the Pass Creek Canyon area is promised to begin this year. At the same time, work mav start on tlie relocation project through the Roseburg com munity. The city government, Chamber of Commerce and plan ning groups, should start, during the year, an engineering survey tu improve traffic conditions within the city and its environs, removing hazards, providing more through routes to relieve pressure on cross streets, etc. Also among needed city projects for consideration are enlargement ot the sanitary sewer disposal facilities, addi tional storm sewers, street widening, extending municipal boundaries, improving police and fire protection, a new civic minding and other improvements. The industrial field should (rive more attention to meth ods of waste utilization and enlargement of secondary man ia aciu re. Improvement in the agricultural industry was very en couraging Inst year. Range betterment, increases in for age crops, enlargement of the livestock and poultrv indns. tries, better marketing facilities, and installation of food processing plants are suegpsted projects for l!).ri2. Building costs have slowed Roseburg's improvement to the appearance of its business district. It might be well during this year to consider, insofar as finances will per mit, mouernizauon or ironis paint-up and fresh-up in the several spots Bitch improvements are needed. Plenty of needed work is ahead to keep everyone busy. ENDING lASKTT A speaker addressing a large husband In the background gets group of parent-teacher workers little recognition, loo.

Ex-Spy To Tell Americans' Aid Of Chinese Reds WASHINGTON HI Elizabeth Bentley, admitted wartime spy courier, steps back Into the spot light to tell House spy-hunters what she knows about the part played by Americans in Chinese Commu nist activities during the 1930's. The House un-American Activi ties Committee has called both Miss Bentley and Louis Budenz, former managing editor of the Communist Daily Worker and a recanted Communist, to appear Tuesday. The committee is now in recess. Miss Bentley first made head lines when her testimony of a war time Russian spy ring touched off a scries of Congressional investiga tions in 19-18. Her new role is In a House probe of activities of Grace and Max Granich, whose venture in publish ing "Voice of China" in Shanghai in the critical Sino-Japancse war years 1936-37 came to light in se cret Shanghai police files. They were identified Thursday by Morris L. Appclman, of Denver, as propagandists sent to China by the Communist Party of the United States to stir up anti-Japanese and anti-Nationalist feeling in China. Appclman, now executive secre tary of the General Rose Memorial Hospital in Denver, is an admitted veteran Communist propagandist who broke with the parly in 1938 because of "complete disillusion ment with Moscow leadership." Ho testified he knew the Gran ichs at Communist Party Head quarters in New York. Mosquito Control Plan Outlined In Bulletin For those who want to start plan nine: a mosquito control program early, the Oregon State College experiment station has just is sued a new bulletin covering the latest recommended methods for gelling rid of the pests, it's called "Suggestions for Mosquito Control in Oregon," and can be obtained at county exten sion offices or direct from OSC by asking for station bulletin num ber 507.

Captain Carl-!caig that profit is , wicked thjng. sen sent his 40 crewmen and hu u SOi i& advise him to read again 10 passengers off to safety in the boats. He himself, following the tradi tion of the sea, stayed with his ship. I fear the idea prevails that his staying was a dramatic gesture. It wasn't. By the ancient law of the sea, a ship that is ABANDON- tu becomes a derelict and is the prize of whomever can put a line on it and tow it to harbor for sal vage. Captain Carlscn stayed aboard to protect the property of his own ers. As long as he stayed aboard, it was NOT an abandoned ship. He was no dramatic geslurer. He was just a man doing his duty and liv ing up to his responsibilities. Captain Carlsen did his duty handsomely. It is now, I should say, up to his employers to do their duty as handsomely as he did his. Paraphrasing slightly the Parable of the Talents (Matthew XXV), they should say to him: "Well done, thou good and faith ful servant. Thou has been faithful over a few things. We will now make thee ruler over many things." That is to say, Captain Carlsen did his duty loyally and well as tho captain of a single ship. His owners might now well and profit ably to themselves make him a fleet captain over many ships (if they have fleets of ships; as to that I don't know.) He won his right to promotion the hard way, and I think most bosses will agree that men who win their promotion the hard way arc apt to turn out well as managers. the Parable of the Talents. The master, as you will recall if you're familiar with Matthew, gave to one of his servants five talents, to another two and to still another one talent. Then he turned them loose on their own with their capital. When he came back and checked up on them, the one with five talents had traded and dick ered and doubled his money. Like wise the servant with the two tal ents. He wound up with four. But the servant with only one talent was no enterpriser. He had no nerve. He was afraid to take a risk. So he went out in the back yard and buried his talent in the ground and when the master came back he dug it up and returned it INTACT, but with no increment. Briefing the parable sharply, the master patted the two enterprisers on the back and rewarded them with more responsibility and more pay. But he bawled out the fearful one and TOOK FROM HIM HIS ONE TALENT AND GAVE IT TO THE OTHERS. (I assume that this was the ori gin of our reasonably modern phrase: "Them as has GITS.") A legitimate profit, you see, was NOT wicked in Jesus' eyes. What about this word "talent?" The talent of ancient times was a money unit, and it wasn't hay. The Hebrew gold talent was worth about $32,000 in our modern (pre inflation) money and the silver talent about $2200. It wasn't just pocket change that the master entrusted his servants wilh. WASHINGTON - In a current report that traces 30 years of Soviet espionage in the United States, members of the House Committee on Un-American Activities have dusted off two excellent case histories of former federal employees who should never have been put on the gov ernment payroll to start with, They are Philip Oiin and Mary Jane Keeney, husband and wife, who lapped at the new Deal and Fair Deal spending trough for years. Mrs. Keeney is currently haggling with the Unit"d Nations, where she was employed in the doc ument control section of the sec retariat It seems mere is soi :e question about her fitness for the tax-free job she held. The where abouts oi her husband, Philip, are not known at present. The House report relates that Mr. Keeney came to Washington in 1940, taking a job in the Library of Congress, where he stayed un til 1943. From here he switched to the foreign economic adminis tration, staying until 1945. At tnat time he was employed bv the War Department for duty in Tokyo, Ja pan. In 1947 he was relieved of his duties, but neither Keeney nor the War Department will say why. Keeney was an employee from 1931 to 1937 of the University of Montana. The House report states. According to the report, he was dismissed for incomno'encp.- Vet he had no trouble getting on the government payroll. Mrs. Keeney got on the federal payroll in 1942, working for the Board of Economic Warfare. Later she worked for Russian War Re lief, Inc., and still later as a mem ber of the stafi nl tn I" 'ted Siafs delegation to the Allied Commis sion on Reparations. In 1916 she went to work for the State Depart mcnt, naturally. In 1948 she got her taxfree job with the United Nations in New York. Mrs. Keeney denied she was a Communist or esnionme aeent when called before the House com mittee. Her husband clammedup when asked the S64 Questions. Here is a sample of what the House report has to say about the Keenevs: "Both Philip and Miry June Keenev have a record of associa tion with known Communists and wilh individuals identified in this report as having been engaged in Soviet espionage activity. Among them were Haakon M. Chevalier, Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, and William Ludwig Ullmann, as well as Gerhart Eisler." ' During the trial of Judith Cop ton an F'BI report related another episode in the life of Mrs. Keeney, A summary reads: "In March of 1946 Mrs. Keeney was aboard the steamship Mit Victory when that vessel arrived in the United Slates. The rewvrt indicated that FBI agents had ob served that the vessel was met by Jules Korchein, whom Marv ,ins Keeney was observed meeting upon her departure from the ves sel. These twn indiviilutls wen1 placed under FBI surveillance and were observed to enter the apart ment of an individual named Was- serman. Later, on the same dale, the FBI agents reported Keeney at a meeting with one Joseph Bernstein, at which time Keeney was observed passing a manila envelope to Bernstein. Bernstein was subsequently observed by the FBI agents meeting Alexandar V.achtunberg, Communist party official, at which time the manila envelope believed identical with the one originally carried by Kee ney, was passed to Trachtenberg." Mrs. Keeney stayed on the govern ment payroll another two years, hnwpvpp. It was In 1948 that President Truman was labeling charges of Communists and left wingers in government as "red herrings.'1 Mrs. Keeney by her own assertion is neither, hut she sure has a nassel of peculiar piaymaies. i for Philip, somebody ousht ' to make a point of finding out who got him on the government payroll to stnrt with and who nursed his career along once he was employ ed. President Truman and others are constantly bemoaning the low salaries na(d federal einnloves a well as defending their lyalty and brillance. Well, here are a couole who worked his side of the street that I can't shed a tear over. There are others, some still drawing down money, hut unless von catrh them with their hands In the se curitv cunhoard it is difficult to get them fired. Even so, as cum bersome as it is. the loyalty re view board since 1947 has managed to fire or scare off the payroll an average of more than 700 a year. That s some progress, but not enough. And when the House Committer. on Un-American activities writes a report entitled "The Shamful Years," a lot o' administration big-shots in Washington should hang their heads, including the President of the y.S.A. Hear Fulton Lewis Daih On KRNR, 9:15 P. M. ftRrcnN PITY OP Clackamas rnnniv'i new certificate plan, de signed to control movement of trucks over county roads, goes into effect Jan. 24. It requires truckers to get cer tificates before hauling gross loads of more than 16,000 pounds on county roads. A fee of $10 a truck will be charged to cover the cost of tha program. School busses are ex empt and truckers who make only occasional trips will not be re quired to pay the fee, The rjroeram reulaces the log ging permit system which lale fast year was ruled unconstitu tional by Attorney General George Neuner. Neuner's ruling was on a Lincoln County permit program that is similar to one that had been in effect here for a number of years. i Should the trucker's load exceed the amount of his certificate or should he move his load on roiris other than those specified on his certificate, he will be subject to heavy fines under a new state law. The law, passed by the 1951 legislature, provides for a fine of $50 for a load exceeding the weight limit by 2.000 pounds, for ioMfi exceeding the limit by more UrSi 2000 pounds, a fine of four cents a pound may be imposed.

Especially politically, since next fall the voters must choose th occupants for all 435 House seats and one-third of the benate seats.

Inning For Republicans Much to the relief of the Demo crats, who have made a spectacle of themselves more than once through the years with their intra- party differences, the Republicans this year will probably take over their franchise and even give them pointers In barc-nuckling while wearing gloves. This alone should add to our entertainment, if not to our en lightenment, since everybody in congress is a politician and what ever a politician says in the field of politics can be sliced in half without losing an ounce of sense.
