BAD NEWS COMING UP
. .. , Charles V. Stanton V
Robert Aufderheide, former supervisor of the Umpqua
National Forest, now residing in Eugene as supervisor of
the Willamette Forest, gave Lane County residents some
bad news recently.
Speaking before the Eugene Chamber of Commerce,
Aufderheide told his Lane County audience that the timber
industry in that county is starting a decline. Timber has
been removed too fast, he said, and a reduction in cut must
be accomplished. '
Aufderheide's report, of course, was hot news to his
audience. Lane County people have been aware for a long
time that their" timber industry was on the downgrade.
Business interests have been frightened.
Eugene in recent years has claimed to be the "Lum
ber Capital of the Nation." Roseburg listed itself as t h e
timber capital. Douglas County had more timber, while
Lane County was producing more lumber.
But Douglas County's lumber production now exceeds
that of Lane County. Eugene no longer can claim to be
the lumber capital, for the title for both timber and lum
ber has passed to Douglas County.
Business circles in Lane County naturally are disturb
ed by the industrial decline. Some observers are decided
ly pessimistic concerning the future. Yet much new busi
ness is entering the Eugene area, which would indicate
that large investors are not worried. '
Incoma Probably Will Gain ,.
Lane County undoubtedly will follow the same pattern
as other lumber producing areas of the country It has
passed the .peak of its primary manufacturing stage. For
a brief time industrial activity will diminish. . But opera
tors, now restricted in the amount of raw material avail
able, will soon develop methods of secondary maufacture
profitably utilizing the limited material supply to which
they have access.
Primary manufacture is long in profits. Secondary
manufacture normally results in less profit to the operator,
but creates more jobs. Secondary manufacture is m o r e
stable, is less susceptible to market fluctuations, pays high
er wages for skilled workers and, in the long run, is more
beneficial to the community.
; The State of Washington, for example, lost the lead in
lumber production t Oregon in 1927. Washington took a
beating for a few years. 'Then it developed secondary man
ufacturing processes. Today, although it uses only about
one-third as much raw material as is consumed in Oregon,
it has a much higher income from its diminished timber
resource, because of its higher scale of utilization.
Secondary manufacture already has gained consider
able headway in Lane County. Under pressure of decreas
ing economy, Lan County business leaders will devote
more energy to encouraging addition! secondary uses.
Within a few years Lane County may be expected to be far
ahead of Douglas County in rate.of income from the timber
industry, although using much less material.
Douglas Hat Opportunity
It will not be many years until someone in authority
will be breaking the sad news to a Douglas County audi
ence that it has passed the peak of primary manufacture.
We already have made far too heavy inroads on our pri
vate timber supply. We are cutting millions of feet of pri
vate timber that has just reached its most productive
stage ; timber that should be left to grow for another 40 or
50 years. At the same time mature, overripe and decadent
timber, as well as millions of feet of fire-damaged and
diseased old-growth timber, is being lost because of inade
quate access. '
Douglas County could avoid the slump experienced in
the past in nearly all other timber producing areas if it
would tackle the problem. It won't. We'll undoubtedly go
through the same cycle. '
But if our industrial leaders would get together, set up
a perpetual cutting pattern, pool resources to form con
cerns of financial strength to achieve utilization, and there
by develop secondary manufacture side by side with pri
mary manufacture, limited to allownble sustained yield
cut, we would escape the slump traditional to the industry.
Don't expect it to be done. But the opportunity is
present.
NEW YORK UP) He sat there the man across the
luncheon table small, dark-eyed, polite, talking, with a
whip in his mind.
The whip is the one with which he lashes mankind and
himself for failing to dream as big as people can, and for
not attaining the dreams they do have.
Asked when he was most happy
in his life, William Kaulknor, stu
dent of failure and recent Pulitzer
I'ricc winner, started off:
"Success comes too easy In Ulis
country. There r many wys to
make money and they all spell
success."
Faulkner may appear to some
as the intellectual's Mickey Spil
lane. But- his reverence is for a
man like Thomas Wolfe, whom he
calls the most magnificent failure
of his generation, because "he
tried to do more than flesh and
blood could do; he tried to reduce
the human heart into a para
graph." "We measure greatness by the
distance between the dream and
the failure. We all fail. None of
us match the dream."
Faulkner, who is a small man
with obviously fastidious tastes,
grew up with physical and literary
giants, such n Wolfe and Heming
way. "In our generation we were all
failures. Myself, Dos Passos, Hem
ingway, Wolfe. Wolfe was the fin
est failure." , . ,
Faulkner, when asked how many
books he has written, give a
vague answer. n
"Somewhere between 11 and 22;
prohably 20."
When asked how may books
he has sold, he says he doesn't
know but is going to ask his pub
Ushw about those things.
Faulkner is an extremely delib
erate crafUman. Among other
tilings, he has delivered the plot
lines for 12 movies. The latest is
"Land of the Phamahs," a Warn
er Brothers picture.
After winning the Nobel Prize
for literature, he was given the
PuliUer award this year for his
novel, "A Fable." This rather sur
prised him, since it was published!
a year oetore.
Faulkner, one of the most suc
cessful writers in America, ha!S an
outspoken antipathy for the bare
bones of success.
"I was born to be a tramp. I was
happiest when I had nothing. 1 had
a trench coat then with big pock
ets. It would carry a pair of socks,
a condensed Shakespeare and a
bottle of whiskey. Then I was hap-
fiad
ann i wanted nothine and
no responsibility."
I asked him what makes nennln
grow old. He said idleness, bore
dom. It kills them. Thev die be
cause they don't have enough to
do.
ViMM
Trimming Of School '
Budget Draws Support
ROSEBURG I hope that no
one, who is honestly interested in
School District 4 and the educa
tion of its children, will neglect to
read the open letter on page 8 of
Monday's News Review. I com
mend those good citizens who pub
lished it, for it is the sentiments
many parents would voice if they
were able to express them.
The past few weeks I have
heard youngsters say they had
been told that they would be going
to school half days next year, and
have to go all 12 months in order
to get an education. Such things
as band, sports, hot lunches, and
even bus transportation would be
supposedly non-existent, unless the
budget passes. This business of
using children to spread propagan
da is so unlike our American Way.
Ia fact we abhor that very thing
in the Communistic countries. How
can we tolerate it here?
No good citizen would object to
higher taxes it it were proven ab-J
solulely necessary in order to prop
erly educate our youth, nut, i
agree with the above mentioned
letter, there are some things not
necessary, and too many highly
paid executives could be one of
them.
1 have often wondered why the
teaching staff of the schools, espe
cially the smaller ones, is not plan
ned so that each school is provided
with at least one teacher who is
trained to teach music, one for
sports, one for art, etc. Thi3 way
each school could provide a com
plete program without waiting for
the coordinators who sometimes do
not appear at the assigned time.
We do want our children to be
well educated. I am glad the time
has come when someone will
openly suggest ways of eliminating
unnecessary expenditures ot tne
money allotted for that purpose.

Air Force Puts
Emphasis Upon
Defense Tactics
WASHINGTON on'- The Air
Force has placed new emphasis
on tlie buildup of North American
air defenses, and has eased up a
bit on the further development of
its long range striking arm.
But an Air Force spokesman
deprecated Thursday reports that
there is a growing, intense rivalry
between the Continental Air De
fense Command with headquarters
at Colorado Springs, and the Stra
tegic Air Command at Omaha.
The Defense Department budget
does not break down the appro
priations for the various Air Force
commands.
Roger Lewis, Air Force assist
ant secretary for materiel, said in
recent testimony befoae a House
appropriations subcommittee:
"As we lake long strides in the
provisioning of weapons for our
strategic striking forces, we be
come ever more conscious of our
needs for. improved air defense."
One informed source said ADC
has been given a proportionately
greater share of the budget, in
planning for the next two fiscal
years, while SAC has, proportion
ately, a somewhat reduced share.

Alcoa said a new advertising

Murrow's program has been

WASHINGTON (NEA) Rural
Electrification Administration cel
ebrates its 20th birthday May 11,
at the start of a big fight within
the Eisenhower administration to
change completely REA a method
ot doing business. -
There is no argument about REA
having done the job it was sup
posed to do. Since private power
companies were dragging their feet
On rural electrification, this New
deal agency was created to ipeed
up the process. Today 97 per cent
of all U.S. farms are electrified
and 54 per cent of this was financ
ed by REA loans.
In addition, under another pro
gram authorized in 1949, REA has
lent 80 million dollars and author
ized loans for another 100 million
dollars to 150 local telephone com
panies to help bring phone service
to a million rural homes.
REA OPERATIONS have un
questionably helped increase U.S.
farm production as well as to
bring labor-saving conveniences to
farm wives. But this has been
done at a price.
Over the oast 20 years the U.S.
taxpayers have had to pick up the
tab for 85 million dollars as the
administrative costs of REA. This
cost now runs close to eight million
dollars a year and it's growing,
naturally. v .
There is an argument over
whether REA has lost or made
money, or just broken even.
REA is required by law to lend
its money interest free for the first
five years, then two per cent a
year.
REA SETS THIS MONEY from
the U.S. Treasury. The Treasury
pays one and a fraction per cent
interest for its short-term money
and up to three per cent long
term. The average is just under
two per cent. On this basis. REA
breaks even.
But since all of. REA loans are
for 20 and 30 years, on this long-

timber and some of the best graz
ing lands in the West, can hardly
fail to be of interest to any citi
zen of Oregon. The economy of the
entire state will be affected by
the success or the lack of it that
attends this rather staggering so
cial and economic experiment.
This is the present situation, la
brief:
Public Law 587 provided for a
CHOICE on the part of the mem
bers of the Klamath tribe. They
can either take their share in
cash and get out, or thev ean stay
with the ship.
In order to get the money to
pay off those who want out, Pub
lic Law 587 provides for the SALE
under certain prescribed conditions
of reservation property. Since the
money must be provided rather
quickly, it would amount to FORC
ED SALES of the more liquid of the
reservation assets.
The most liquid of the reserva
tion's assets is its TIMBER. In
order to provide the amount of
money needed within the time lim
its provided, the timber would have
to be sold to the highest bidder.
The result of such a procedure
would be to throw the reservation
limber probably the finest body
of Ponderosa pine remaining in the
West on the market for IM
MEDIATE CUTTING, thus putting
an end to the policy of sustained
yield management under which
this great stand of timber has been
administered (or decades.
The result of that would be sev
eral years of wild boom followed
by a BUST.
The three ante citizens ot Ore
gon who make up the "manage
merit specialists group" that i
charged with the responsibility fa
putting Public Law 587 into effe
could not bring themselves to a
ucpt such a situation. l
So they declined to serve unle
their contract was revised in sue
a manner at to permit them t.
proceed with the job of termina
tion of federal supervision in a
more orderly manner. They con
vinced the fedoral authorities that
their position was sound, the con
tract was changed.
The most important change in
the contract was one granting to
the management specialists the
light to SUBMIT AMENDMENTS
TO THE I.AW FOR THE CONSID
ERATION OF CONGRESS. Mr.
Walters, Mr. Favell and M- Phil
lips (the management specialists)
believe that if carefully drawn
amendments permitting a more
orderly handling of the reserva
tion's huge assets can ne present
ed to the congress at a time that
is less hectic than was the case
when Public Law 587 was enacted
congress was then hastening to
reach adjournment in a Presi
dential campaign year it will
be possible to secure intendment
of the law providing for wiser and
more orderly liquidation proced
ures. That is the long and the short of
the present situation.
Here is a point we must all
keep clear in our minds:
THE LIQUIDATION OF FED
ERAL SUPERVISION OF THE
KLAMATH INDIAN RESERVA
TION IS A MATTER THAT IS OF
PRIMARY CONCERN TO THE
MEMRERS OF THE KLAMATH
TRIBE.
The Klamath reservation is their
heritage. It is all that remains to
Ihem of the country that belonged
to their ancestors. In l.e process
of termination of federal supervis
ion it is THEIR WELFARE that
must be primarily considered.
But - -
It seems to the three able and
public-spirited men who compose
this management specialists group
that the welfare of the members
of the Klamath tribe and their
descendants will be better served
by a more orderly process of li-
term basis REA gets an interest
subsidy of one per cent for its
customers. Over 20 years this can
be computed as a cost or loss of
500 million dollars or more.
It Is on this basts that a task
force of ex-President Herbert
Hoover's Commission on Govern
ment Organization has recom
mended that REA be converted
into a government corporation and
put on a sell-supporting dbsis.
This recommendation has run
into powerful opposition. As every
congressman knows, the REA co
op is a potent political force in
any rural area.
Also, NRECA the National
Rural Electric Cooperatives' Assn.,
whose general manager is ex-un
eressman Clvde Ellis of Arkansas
is one of the strongest lobbies in
Washington.
ELLIS RECENTLY WROTE- all
congressmen to charge that t h e
Hoover report "reeks with false
hoods and misstatements and
power eompany propaganda." He
says the Hoover recommendations
would double REA credit costs. He
has demanded that Congress deny
further funds to the Hoover com
mission.
Congress obviously won't do any
such thins. But there is no assur
ance whatever that Congress will
go along with all of the Hoover
recommendations.
There is no question at all about
the possibilities lor luture growui
of the REA system. A recent sur
vey of its co-ops' expansion needs
for the next five years indicates
845 million dollars' worth of new
construction planned. This will re
quire an estimated 635 million dol
lars in new loans.
The big question as REA starts
its 21st year as a big and growing
boy is whether Congress will con
tinue to support it in the liberal
style it was raised, or whether it
will be turned loose to make its
own way ii the cruel world of pri
vate business compet'tion.
149 Polio Cases

WASHINGTON Ufi The Public.
Health Service Thursday reported
149 new polio cases for last week.
2 more than the count for the week

Fifty-nine were paralytic.
It included a second Pennsylvan
