Sen. Knowlcind
Urges Answer
From France
By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON Wl .senate Re.
oublioan Leader Knowland of Cal
ifornia said Tuesday he stiU be
lieves the United States must set
a definite answer soon from
France regarding German partici
pation in the anti-communist Eur
opean Defense Community.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee by an 8-5 vote Mon
day softened a Knowland-backed
proposal to cut off military aid to
France and Italy on Dec. 31 un
less thev ratify EDC bv the end
of this year, but Knowland told
raDorters he believes "some
ceDtable formula may be worked
out" to get a tougher form of that
provision.
Knowland indicated that he and
other Senate Republican leaders
will continue their fight on the
Senate floor.
The Foreien Relations Commit
tee, yielding to Slate Department
appeals, reversed itself on the cut
off provision and accepted a less
stringent plan adopted earlier by
the House.
Knowland said the Foreign Re
lations Committee should complete
action during the day on the new
$3,100,000,000 foreign aid authori
zation ana pass tne measure aions
to the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee for action. The proviso on
aid to France and Italy is in that
measure.
"We'll wait and see what the
Armed Services Committee does,"
Knowland said.

A. G. (Mike) McLain, Roseburg
pharmacist, has been elected a di
rector of Oregon State Phar
maceutical Assn. '
He la only representative of
the association in Southern Oregon.
His job with the association will
be to help formulate policies for
the legislative committees to act
on in the state Legislature in re
gard to laws of pharmacy in the
state. . .,
McLain is co-owner of McKay
drug Store.
After hearing reports from Ore
gon s Regional Forester Her
bert stone ana a nirea expert, Wil
liam Davies, the association not
only tabled any further action on
a national forest marketing area.
DUl even vuicea a pussioiiuy oi
working toward breaking up the
management areas of the Bureau
of Land Management.
Under the original plan, a feder
al unit under the jurisdiction of
the Forest Service as a sustained
yield unit was studied. The
Duroose would have been to main
tain a stable community or com
munities where such maintenance
is primarily dependent on the
sale of timber or other forest prod
ucts irom tederally owned lands.
The establishment would cut out
industries and communities outsida
the unit from efforts to secure fed'
erally owned sources of timber
within the unit.
Forester Stone said in a letter
read at the meeting that the sus
tained yield idea was out of the
question until the allowable cut
had been reached in the Umpg.ua
Forest.
He said the marketing plan offer
ed ( 1) restricts free tlow of tim
ber and (2J fosters other market
ing areas around the original
marketing area.
He suggested efforts for greater
utilization of waste. Association
President Si Ditlard interjected
here that the county was "losing
70 per cent" of the timber tonnage
logged.
Davies, a former logging engi
neer for Weyerhaeuser Timber
Co., bore out Stone's conclusion in
his tetter. He had been hired by
the Chamber of Commerce at
Roseburg to survev the area (o
determine the feasibility of a mar
keting plan. He objected to the
plan but urged speeding up of uti
lization oi waste products.
Along these lines, Roseburg

Hope for an early end of the
23-day-old Pacific Northwest lum
ber strike was dim Tuesday after
operators broke off the first major
negotiations since the start of the
walkout.
Two major employer groups
the Lumbermen's Industrial Rela
tions Committee and the Columbia
Basin Sawmills opened talks Mon
day with representatives of the
AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers
Union's Coast - Columbia district.
But they promptly told the union
and a federal mediator "we are un
willing to meet further until the
union committee" agrees to accept
their original offer to renew con
tracts without change.
The employers, standing firm on
their refusal to consider pay in
creases, said the contract renewal
proposal is their "final offer."
The AFL union and CIO Wood-!
workers went on strike June 21 for
12 V4-cent hourly increase.
The employer committees said
individual operators are "always
willing" to meet with their crews
to negotiate settlement with no
wage increases.
In a public statement the em
ployer groups charged the union
with "bad faith bargaining."
They said tneir otter to renew
contracts never had been submit
ted to union locals and that union
officials had ordered out workers
who voted against striking.
Kenneth Davis, secretary of the
AFL union's northwestern council.
replied that some employers are
trying to "break uie union." u
