CLEAR DECKS FOR ACTION
By Charles V. 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. If it wasn't for he government ihovoling monoy into tht
roe, th state wouldn't bo worth tho powdor to blow It Into tho
Pacific. Tho tun thinoi about two monthi of tho yaar tho rait of .

unemployment thora at tha praiant tima dua to itriket.

Wa likt Minnaiota, Maina and Maitachutatt at tha finait placat
fo llva. 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.

It is the first county in the state to employ an extension

This is a most Drozressive step. It should return fi

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-

agricultural lands than Douglas County. These farm wood
lots, properly managed, are worth many millions of dol
lars. 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.

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.

perintendent at Woodstock from

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.

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.

Japanese Cities
Differ In Blame
For Atomic Ruin
HIROSHIMA, Japan, Seven
vears ago Wednesday the city of
Hiroshima was crushed by the
searing blast of the atomic bomb.
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.
