2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Sot. May 8, 1954 Eisenhower Confers With Top Aides On Indochina (Continued from Page One) nobly fought. He sent similar word to the Viet Nam chief of state, Bau Dai, in whose land liei the fallen fortress. Eisenhower summoned a special ' meeting of the National Security Council today for a purppse not announced, but virtually certain to include discussion of Indochina. The Council is the nation's top strategy body. Dulles, a Security Council mem ber, used an informal "fireside chat" approach to his television and radio audience last night mak ing small changes in his prepared text as he went along but not al tering the general tenor of bis talk. He expressed confidence that discussions now under way with 10 friendly nations Britain and France among them on the de fense of Southeast Asia will re sult in a free world coalition that will rock Communist aggression there. But he cautioned: "This common defense may in volve serious commitments by us all. But free people will never re main free unless they are willing to fight for their vital interests." So far as the United Stales is concerned, Dulles said that enter ing into such commitment is possi ble only on two conditions: 1. Congressional approval would nave to be given, congress, ne said, "is a full partner" with the administration in any such enter prise. 2. Other free nations would have to join the pledge and share the burden. In Dulles' words, there would have to be "an adequate collective effort based on genuine mutuality of purpose in defending vital interests."

Look for these informative articles every Saturday. Up to the middle of the nine teenth century, one of the diseases due to a food Vitamin C deficiency known as Scurvy was prevalent anions sailors, prisoners ana soi-1 dicrs. Captain Cook was among the first to indicate that fresh veg-1 etables and fruits cured scurvy, lie reasoned from this that scurvy was due to a lack of something contained in fresh fruits and fresh vegetables, Subsequently, all Kng lisli ships were compelled by law to include lime juice in their daily ration of food. All civilized coun tries soon adopted this preventive measure, so much so, that scurvy is rarely seen today As timo went on, it was dis- i covered that other diseases of mankind could be attributed to fowl deficiencies. Tlnn, about 11113, it was shown that "10 stunted growth of corlain Far Kastern peo. pics was due to their .-iistum of eating polished rice, a Vitamin I) deficient food. Not only was their growth stunted, but serious nerve disorders were associated with the condition known as Bcri brn. The inclusion in their diet of Vit amin R rich foods soon abolirhed this disease. Then came the discovery that the malformation of bone, called Rickets, was due to a diet deficient in Vitamin D. It was found also, that the disease could be produced if animal were kept out of sun- Carrier Jumps Dock, Worker Escapes Injury By MRS. C. B.

Senate Democrats apparently have crossed out one of the major items on President Eisenhower's legisla tive list for this year revision of the Taft-Hartley Labor Rela tions Act. Southern and Northern Demo crats. generally Doles apart nn labor issues, joined Tuesday to send a revision bill back to the Senate Labor Commilte, in effect, killing chances for its passage at this session of Congress. The vote was 50-42 and labor leaders hailed ine outcome. Eisenhower asked Congress in a Jan. 11 message to make 14 changes in the 7-year-old law, which he has called basically "sound legislation." The bill which the Senate recommitted yesterday would generally have carried out the President's labor wishes al though several amendments had been offered that went beyond the Eisenhower recommendations. Two of these anti-discrimination proposals by Sens. Lehman in-I.ib-NY) and Ives (R-NY) figured largely in winning South ern uemocratic support for re commital. The Senate had adopted a parliamentary procedure that foreclosed a Southern filibuster against these anti-discrimination amendmnts. Every Democrat was in the Sen ale chamber yesterday and all 48 voted to recommit the bill, They were reinforced by Republican Sens. Young and Langer of North Dakota, Malone of Nevada and by independent Sen. Morse of Oregon. Forty - two Republicans voted against the motion to recommit.

The two men were working side by side painting the rear of the Medical Arts Building in Rose burg. The building is currently getting an exterior paint job. They had just wet U13 area to be painted and had started to paint when Radcliffe was surpris ed by the shouts of his fellow work er. He turned around and there was Roth stiffened against t h e side of the building in contact with an electric wire which had inadvertently been wet also. Radcliffe knew i.uick action was necessary, so he grabbed Roth lightly by the overalls and pulled him away without getting electri cal contact nimself. Roth was taken to an unidenti fied doctor in ta Medical Arts budding for treatment. It was not necessary to hospitalize him al though he received painful hand burns. He was doing well this morning. Radcliffe lives on South Deer Creek Road and Roth lives at 1371 Agee Lane.

F. McCulloch, assistant dean of the school of forestry, who spoke to the Ump-qua-Coquille chapter of the Soci ety of American Foresters at Carl's Haven. He left the group roaring, but passed along a lot of information in doing so. Development of in ny logging methods, and refinements of most of the rest, came about in the Pa cific Northwest, he said. They included ,the primitive methods of yarding by bull teams, skidding, the first high lines, trams, donkeys and the rest. He also dwelt on development of transportation methods in th e area. First was the "splash," log drives down the rivers, where logs were taken to water by ani mals and floated to tidewater. That evolved, because It was suc cessively cheaper, to the advent of logging railroads to the yard ing areas; the railroads to reload areas; and finally developmnt of logging trucks. As for the river drives, McCul loch bailed that as most romantic after his pet railroading methods. He recalled that the early drives typically were followed by loud protests from farmers, on whose land logs were scattered etch spring when freshets in the rivers had receded. That was a serious problem for loggers, too. MoCulloch said one drive of 500,000 feet of sugar pine was started at Oakridge in the Willamette River. Not a single log reached the boom. Railroads drew most of the pro fessor's attention in his talk, He CIO President Charges Employers Breached Faith OLYMPIA an James E.

There was an interred prom ise on the part of the employer negotiators that they wanted time to prepare new proposals," Fad ling said. He cnargea, nowever, ine em ployers "had simply gone home and cut lumber in what is obvi ously a busy market" and re turned to the bargaining table Wednesday with no change in po sition.

Development of steam-powered donkeys followed the bull teams in vnrdinir ooerations. Log rafting, McCulloch related, started at Cathlamet, Wash., in 1910 and from development of them (which were built at first by dragging logs wilh high lines), came the high leads which mads yarding work a lot less complicat ed than dragging. McCulloch said the first power saws were in use before World War I in the redwoods of North ern California. A couple of loggers one day simply turned a powered drag saw on its side, and that was the first power saw used for fal- '"cats, he said, were developed by leggers themselves. Equipment makers at first insisted that the bulldozer blade be built on the rear of the cats. More resourceful loggers rebuilt the cats to put the . blade where it's found today. "There's a difference between filowing radishes and yarding ogs," he commented. McCulloch had lots of jokes to tell. He said one enterprising logger in the early days set up a "logging college" near Portland. Rich peo ple back east would send their heirs to the west to learn logging, and the dean of the school had free labor for a full year. He revealed an early descrip tion of a fast runner: "He put his feet down just once in a while to steer himself." Santo, Perkins Are Convicted Of Young Murder QUINCY, Calif.
