Stanton Bob Shoemaker of Roseburg, now working for the Oli ver Iron Mining Company in Duluth, Minn., sends us a clip ping from the Duluth newspaper. The item reports impres sions gathered by a coi'.ple from Freeport, Maine, who visi ted in Duluth after a tour of the Pacific Northwest. I The visitors told the Fuluth reporter: , The Pacific Northwest ii great country If you don't mind t.i cloudy weather, but it it living on ill reputation made during World War II.

Of couria my homo town it Freeport, Maine, and I may be prejudiced but the east coatt hat it all aver the wett coait. Our Chamber of Commerce won't like that! It is defi nite libel! Certainly we couldn't recommend that Maine couple for powers of observation and research. Th Inst few davs we'd have appreciated some of those clouds described by the unhappy tourists. As for the gov ernment money being shoveled into the area, the govern ment is taking about three dollars out of the State of Ore gon for every dollar we get back. Maybe our farming land isn't the best, but our farmers stand very high in the rate of farm income. We may have unemployment from strikes, but we're in a labor-short area. We'll agree with the tour ists on one point, however. Taxes ARE high. We've renorted this scurrilous misrepresentation of our nlorious Pacific Northwest. We'll leave the rest up to our Chamber of Commerce. Incidentally, Bob, son of Mrs. Shoemaker and the late Sam J. Shoemaker, is working in the mining company's re search laboratory at Duluth, but will go to Madison, Wis., this fall to work for his M. S. degree in metallurgy. He al ready holds an M. S. degree in chemistry from Oregon State College. FOREST SPECIALIST EMPLOYED Dnntrlns Cmmtv rinirs un another first. It is the first county in the state to employ an extension . fnrpster. This is a most Drozressive step. It should return fi nancial benefits far offsetting the small cost involved The farm wood lot today is recognized as an important agricultural resource. We have turned from the practice of "mining" wood to scientific "tree farming." Few conn- , T" XT il i.

Some of our landowners have sold their stumpage for far less than it was worth. They would have enjoyed much higher returns had they been able to secure expert advice. The time is coming soon when tree farming can be made to yield annual profits, in those cases where wood lots, which occupy 53 per cent of our farm acreage, are adapt able to sustained yield management. Other wood lots will be more profitable if clear-cut. Employment of a specialist will enable the landowner to obtain management advice. The importance ol the job will grow as we succeed in bringing in more industries capable of utilizing thinnings, prunings and assorted vcoa, oilier man saw iimuer. Douglas County, in our opinion, will have reason to be proud of being first 'n the state to make the service avail able to its private timber owners. FromTM vfr A MEHDIHG BASKET In a reply to a query about something else, tho U. S. Navy remarked that I "might be in terested in the WAVES' tenth an niversary" and that the "nonro.t WAVE vvaj Miss Genevieve Blake of Roicburg." So I contacted Miss Blake, who is now Mrs. lion Al len, wife of a forest runner, liv ing 65 miles un the North Uiiin qua at the Big Camas Ranger Sta tion. Mrs. Allen's rcnlv was mot Interesting. She explained a little delay in her reply as due to the fact that she has two children. 22 and 6 months old, who are a twenty-four hour job. . .my lifn now is in direct contrast to my WAVE experience. . .correspond ence seems passe. "I am adamant in my defense of a career as a WAVE. 1 loved it!

Personal contacts made during that time have been of permanent value.

Jack Pfeiffer of the Oregon forest products laboratory was field di rector and Clyde Randall assisted. Alder, one of 10 major Oregon hardwoods, was selected for the initial study. The laboratory plans to make a thorough study of all Oregon hardwoods in the near fu ture. More than 500 alder logs at the L. R.

No evidence has ever been produced to indicate that the convicted liar, perjurer and Communist spy belongs any where but where he is in prison. Hiss has undergone months of oners, a great number of whom wore hospitalized. "1 was in the Navy three years, and was flying all of that time with tha exception of 'boot camp', and about three months duty in Convoy and Routin; plotting of the courses of ships' in the Port director s office in San Francisco." I should say Mrs. Allen's "pres ent life is in direct contrast! What an interesting treasure-trove of memories she must have stored up to enjoy, and share with her family. Automobile Accidents In Oregon Take 2 Lives SALEM ofl -- A car plunged off a road nine miles north of Albany Monday, killing a passenger. Anne Louise Woodmansee, 19, of Salem. Driver of the car, J.

PORTLAND W Ixn Martin, 27, injured Friday when his car Investigation by congressional spy hunters; he has had his life and times searched dilligently and in telligently by the full resources of the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion; he has been submitted to two trials by jury; he has had present ed on his behalf voluminous con tentions that he is entitled to a third trial. He has had the serv ices of at least 16 qualified at torneys, three experienced private investigators, a psychiatrist and psychologist, an expert on paper analysis, and various handwriting and typewriting experts plus a metallurgist. Hiss has been the beneficiary of unlold thousands of dollars, con tributed by friends and relatives people who could pay $7,500 to re construct a typewriter on the fat uous theory that it would prove the opposite of what his lawyers admitted in court; that is, that the typewriter he admitted owning is a fake. Having destroyed the contention bv Hiss that Whittaker Chambers, unaided and unskilled in manufac turing typewriters, could .have built a Woodstock machine to Iran the State Department official t' S. attorney in New York was forced to set about proving me hiss typewriter that sat in mu:c evidence during his trials, had never been tampered wim He called in the rBl anain. In a retrial motion Hiss, after first admitting the typewriter be longed to him, then denying it could have been introduced by Chambers as evidence of his es pionage, returned to Hie initial position, by charging that tne typewriter really did exist but had been tampered with; that keys had been substituted to match the typing on the incriminating doc uments. Hiss now concludes that If Chambers did not manufacture his own Woodstock typewriter, he at least added some type accumulat ed from somewhere to produce a machine that typed figures iden tical with the Hiss machine. A metallurgical expert hired by Hiss took a sample of solder from various kevs of the Hiss machine. He noted that the nickel content varied; that there is more nickel in the solder on the so-called alter ed keys than On the so-called un altered keys. The metallurgical expert had ac cess to Hie manuiaciunnn proie dures of the Woodstock Typewrit er Company, but either ignored it or found it useless to prove his contention. Conrad Youngberg. a plant su perintendent at Woodstock from 192 to 193.1, and Otto Hokanson and Joseph Kcnmni. aiso ion t! never contended that one type writer ribbon was used to type aU of the hundreds of secret docu- menta Chambers got from Hiss. Next, Hiss asserted that the Woodstock plant could not have manufactured the Hiss typewriter because the steel content in the various liars and kevs varied an' could not have been iroduced at the same plant. Woodstock did not in the period in Question. 1925 to 1928, produce the steel used in their machines. They do not do so now. The steel, asserted government and Wood stock witnesses under oaui, was purchased from many sources, and the bars and keys were man ufactured continuously and dump ed into common bins. No given tex hir nf metal was ever deliber- iplv routed to a particular type writer, or batch of them. Claims were made that the Hiss typewriter keys had abnormal tool marks on them. Government ex perts proved the marks were made by natural wear. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily On KRNR, 9:15 P.M. Stevenson Plans Strong Control Of His Campaign SPRINGFIELD, III. Wl Gov. Adlai Stevenson's campaign man ager hinted Wednesday that Steven son will keep a strong hand on the conduct of his presidential cam paign and perhaps shift the center of influence from the Democratic National Committee to nis own Springfield headquarters. This indication came from Wilson Wyatt of Louisville, Ky., who has taken over the direction of the Democratic nominee's headquart ers here. Wyatt disclosed a croup of lead ing Democrats have been invited to meet here next week to map campaign strategy and the course of the campaign. ; Then Wyatt strongly denied to a news conference that he him-1 self is a "left wing" influence in Stevenson's campaign or that Stevenson is a captive candidate ! of the Americans for Democratic action (ADA), a pro-New Deal po litical organization. Shares Stevensons Views Wyatt one time head of the ADA pictured himself as a middle-of-the-road Democrat who shares completely Governor Stev enson's own views on civil rights, domestic and foreien oolicies. "If there is any place that I differ with Sievenson," he said, "I don't know where it is." Then he went on to say that in fact he was among the "conserva tive" members of the ADA al-' though he had not been active in the organization for some time. erown knots, limbs. Dan distor tions, splits, mechanical injuries and other defects were recorded. From the information gathered on the three-week summer field study. Pfeiffer will be able to de termine the percentage of various lumber grades that can be expect ed from specific alder logs. In Oregon, alder has been con sidered an inferior species because the logs have been judged poor by their external appearance. Lum ber grades from these logs have compared favorably wth lumber obtained from second growth stands of eastern species, Pfeiffer continued. National Hardwood Lumber As sociation grading rules are well adapted to Pacific Coast hard-i woods used for factory lumber, 1 the wood technologists said. About 18,000,000 board feet of alder are cut in Oregon each year, mainly for furniture use. Alder grows pre dominately west of the Oregon Cas cades. An increased Oregon hardwood market has failed to develop be cause of a general "latk-of-appre-ciation" attitude, Pfeiffer remark ed. Lack of rules for a standard product and an irregular source of supply also have hindered the hardwood business, Pfeiffer concluded.

Survivors of that awful holocaust gathered Wednesday at a memorial under the center of the aerial explosion to pray for the thousands who died. The memorial is inscribed, trans lated: , "Sleep quietly. The mistake will not be repeated." Japanese are quick to say that the "mistake" was not the atom bombing but Japan's war-starting attack on Pearl Harbor. At Nagasaki, smashed by the second atomic bomb, ofliciais of the two cities gathered to protest what they called America's "Cold altitude" toward victims of the bombings. Kyodo news agency said spokes men for the world's only atom bombed cities charged that the United States w as 'responsible for the explosions and should provide relief for the victims.

Then Within the span of minutes As the significance of what had happened seeped into our con sciousness, the beauty faded and the picture was filled in with black horror.

Stuart Symington WINS BY A LANDSLIDE over Tru man's choice for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator. Truman's own precinct goes nearly SIX TO ONE against Tru man's man. At the same time.
