Fir Damaga Negligible The fire Tuesday which evident ly started from a spark igniting the shingles on the roof of the Look ingglass Store was discovered in time to prevent extensive damage. Thru the quick action of carpen ters engaged In interior remodel ing and an ample supply of water, the blaze was under control when OPPOSES ELLSWORTH China-Born Woman Out To Defeat Congressman Because Of UMT Vote By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM w A young China-born daughter of mission ary parents, Mrs. Barbara' S. Draper of Alban.Vj became ansrered when Rep. Harris Ellsworth voted for Universal Military Training. So, making UMT the main issue of her campaign, she's taking on the big job of trying to defeat Ellsworth for Re publican nomination in Oregon's Fourth Congressional District. Mrs. Draper, who sings In a Methodist church choir and teaches a Sunday School class, has two little boys, aged one and two. Her husband, Jack A. Draper, Is a building contractor, specializing in building low-cost homes in Lebanon, Albanv and Corvallis. He has a couple of small planes, and will take his wife campaigning in them. Mrs. Draper's campaign won't get under full steam until about a week before the May 16 primary, and will consist of a quick air tour through the district, which consists of Southwest Oregon. She thinks she has a chance of Roseburg editor who has repre sented the district since it was created in 1943. Ellsworth never has had much trouble winning, and he is heavily favored this time to win the nomination. If Ellsworth gets by the primary, he might run into trouble in the fall because his district is now the center of the nation's lumber industry, with a big influx of Democratic voters. Husband Twice Defeated Mrs. Draper said politics got in her blood when her husband al most was elected to the senate six years ago. He was defeated by only 78 votes by Sen. Angus Gib son, Junction City, for the joint Lane-Linn County seat. . Draper made another try against Gibson two years ago, but was beaten by a much larger margin. Draper now is his wife's campaign manager, and he's running for the state House of -Representatives, too. That will help her, as the Draper name is pretty well known in Lane and Linn Counties. Her parents live in Medford, where she taught school for a year, so Mrs. Draner is counting on that for a few votes. But outside of those three counties, she is almost unknown. Ellsworth hit the headlines re cently by demanding President Truman's Impeachment for his seizure of the steel industry, and because he suggested that he had power to seize the newspapers under similar circumstances. Agrees On Soma Issues Mrs. Draper doesn't agree with the steel seizure either, assert ing that "when the government starts taking over industries, it is tending toward Communism." She also agrees with Ellsworth's stand for lower taxes and reduc tion in federal spending. She op poses senuing an ambassador to the Vatican. Mrs. Draper accuses President Truman of placing too much em- the Rural Fire truck from Rose burg arrived. Aside from water damage, repairs to roof and the upper structure only will be re- quired. DRUNK DRIVING CHARGED State police today reported the arrest over the weekend of Frank Leroy Hogg Jr., 33, Idleyld Route, on a charge of drunk driving. He was scheduled for arraignment in district court today. ' fr .1 e I Iff A I ON ALL 'ITTSBURG PAINTS a. NOW!

"The President Is letting Asia slip. The boys in Korea are for gotten and don't have enough equip ment. We either should do some thing In Korea or pull out," she said. What to do about the Oregon and California grant lands in the Fourth District also is a hot issue. Mrs. Draper wants the lands re turned to the state of Oregon, with all the revenue earmarked for education. Being a strong church woman, she Is disturbed about liquor ad vertising on national radio pro grams. She supports federal legis lation to restrict this advertising so that drinking can not be made attractive. Ellsworth is not campaigning much, pointing out that he is too busy in Congress. In his campaign statement, he said he is for econo my and development of natural resources, but didn't comment on other issues. He argued that because of his 10 years of service, he is in a position of power, and should be reelected because of the influence he can wield. But so far as Mrs. Draper is concerned, there is one big issue in the Fourth District Ellsworth is for Universal Military Training, and Mrs. Draper is against it. J. A.

Emergency Access Will Be Granted To Northwest Woods To Salvage Timber For U.S. Defense Program Granting of short .term emergency licenses for harvest ing timber in salvage areas of the Northwest was announced here by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, as part of its coordinated program to prevent fur ther loss of valuable lumber from pest and fire hazards.

C. lie lands will be granted to pri vate operators for harvesting of privately-owned timber in clearly defined salvage situations. The Bu reau, under such an emergency operation, will also accept shoit term grants from private land owners for the harvesting of fed eral timber, Roscoe K. Bell, Re gional Administrator of the North west Region of the Bureau 0,1 Land Management, advised from Wash ington, D. C. ' The short term permit, good for one year, he explained, is an em rgency measure and is not a change in Bureau policy that re quires lon term permits to be is sued prior to timber sales in the O & C areas of Western Oregon.' The urgency of the situation does not allow time for normal nego tiations required to consummate detailed long term timber agree ments, he added. Threat to timber in the North west from bark beetles isv even more serious than first believed when the Bureau of Land Manage ment, in January, announced its full scale timber salvage program to save recently damaged or killed timber resulting from blowdowns, beetle infestion and fire. A re cent meeting of the Northwest Forest Pest Control Committee revealed that infestation of the tree-killing beetle around blow down areas has increased at such a rate that "inless immediate em ergency durations are taken, i much live timber as well as dam will be destroyed. gram t.o save more than 700 mil lion board feet of BLM timber in western Oregon, valued at 10V4 million dollars. Would Minimis Losses Director Marion Clawson of the Bureau of Land Management in a report released January 30, urg ed an immediate full scale pro gram not only to save the lumber for vital defense needs, but to pre vent further losses of' the valu able crop from beetle damage and fires this coming summer. In his report" he explained that Oregon is not the only state with great supplies of timber laid waste by storms, fires, and insect kill. Al though no figures are available for California, areas administer ed by the Bureau uf Land Man agement in this state are known to contain a large amount of sal vagable timber. Clawson pointed out that the 700,000,000 board feet of timber proposed for salvage into simpler terms, could mean from the O 4 C lands, translated 70,000 homes or i equivalent lum ber for other vital defense needs. It was estimated in the January report that potential total losses from windthrown, beetle and fire damaged timber may total some one billion board feet. The tree killing beetle loss could exceed the fire damage of the past year which was 200 million board feet. Director Clawson in his report stated that much of the loss from beetle kill could be preventd If the salvaging program were well I When a blowdown of hurricane 'underway before a new hatch of There is no trace of the use of firearms before 1300 A.

Use of short term emergency permits as an nounced today by the Bureau of Land Management, will enable the Government and private operat ors to cooperate in getting the timber harvested. Conditions Set Forth Bell said that granting of short term emergency licenses for sal vage purposes will be made un der the following conditions: Sal vage operations will be defined as the removal of trees that are subject to rapid deterioration be cause they have been killed or tural cause such as wind, fire, injured by some catastrophic na disease, or insect infestation, or of such trees as are peculiarly susceptible to insect Infestation. A salvage operation may include the removal of sound intermingled or adjacent trees, provided that where the removal of sound trees is physically required by normal logging practices, or is economi cally necessary to take i minn mum oracticable logging opera tion, the volume of such sound timber shall not exceed the vol ume of the killed, injured, infest ed, or Insect, susceptible timber. An area may qualify as a sal vage area if it is classified by the Bureau of Entomology ana Plant Quarantine as a danger zone for Douglas-fir beetle, or by the State Forestry Department, or the Bureau of Land Manage ment as an area requiring fire hazard reduction. The erantinn of the short term permit will be made following full and open discussion with district advisorv boards. Each permit. non-renewable, will be granted for one year only. .
