TV 'Booster' Station Given FPC Sanction WASHINGTON w Unlicensed television "booster" stations which provide a relay service to set-owners in an isolated (TV wise) area of Central Washington have the sanction of a Federal Power Commission examiner, al though frowned on by FCC attor neys. Examiner J. D. Bond told the commission this week it should not interfere with the stations, be ing operated at Bridgeport, Quincy and Nespelem, Wash. The stations are "boosters" or "reflectors" located on mountain tops. They pick up programs from Spokane stations and relay them to set-owners in the valleys. In his report. Bond said the sta tions are performing a "useful chore" and should be allowed to operate, for the time being. He emphasized that FCC inaction on the matter should not be con strued as a permanent license to operate, however. At hearings last year, FCC at torneys argued against the con tinued unlicensed operations con tending that failure of the FCC to interfere would be comparable to permitting unlimited highway speeds provided no accidents re sult. Bond's report said: ". . . It does not appear from this record that traffic safely or traffic control is threatened by the respondent's airing of his baby in the small and untravelled niche oc cupied by the booster stations. "In this remotely situated and mountain isolated com m unit a public importance attaches to the people's being informed and enter tained through the television me dium." The stations are operated on VHF channels by C. J. Community Services, Inc., at Bridgeport, R. E. Darwood and others at Quincy, and H. J. Miller, Nespelem. Forest Service Offering Sitka Timber For Sale SITKA, Alaska OF) The U.S. Forest Service is offering to sell SVi billion board feet of timber in the Sitka area, opening the way to construction of another large pulp mill in Southeastern Alaska, regional forester A. W. Greeley announced. Greeley said terms of the con tract under which the timber will be sold will require that the purchaser, prior to Dec. 31, 1961, build a pulp mill in the vicinity of the timber area. The mill and associated facilities must have an annual log requirement of at least 80 million board feet. The Alaska Lumber it Pulp Co., a corporation organized under the laws of Alaska by the Alaska Pulp Co. Ltd., of Tokyo, requested the timber be advertised for com petetive bidding, Greeley said. The timber, located on Baranof and Chichagof Islands, consists mostly of Western hemlock and Sitka spruce, with some Alaska yellow" cedar. Democrat Wonts Sec. McKay Fired HONOLULU Sen. Murray (D-Mont) said this week it would be "a good thing for the country if Secretary of the Interior Doug las McKay is fired." Murray, chairman of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Com mittee, arrived for a vacation and "a reappraisal of the Hawaii stale hood situation." Murray said in a shipboard interview "McKay is not the right man for the job." He accused the jack Frost Is Hopeful Of Having Heavy Winter EUGENE Ufl Jack Frost told a club group here this week he's hoping for a heavy winter. Frost is in charge of the federal government's annual snow surveys in this area. He said the watershed outlook for Eastern Oregon isn't good right now. Water levels in reservoirs in that region are at about a third of that usually found this time of the year, he said. A heavy winter wiin lots oi snow fall in the mountains is needed, he said, to build up next year's wa ter supply. Otherwise, Eastern Oregon farm ers may face a "serious shortage" of irrigation water next summer, Frost said. Convict Fails To Win Release From Prison SALEM Wt Dupree Poe, Silver ton killer who has been involved in numerous disturbances at the state penitentiary, failed this week in an effort to win his re lease. The State Supreme Court unani mously rejected his application for release on a writ of habeas corpus. Poe, sentenced to life in 1932 for killing a Sitverton policeman, has been in the segregation unit of the prison for 27 months for his part in the last rebellion at the peni tentiary. He claimed that his original con viction was void because a sub stitute judge, Fred W. Wilson of The Dalles, sentenced him. The Supreme Court answered that Judge Wilson had been as signed to the trial to , substitute for another judge. The Supreme Court decision, by Justice James T. Brand, upheld Circuit Judge George R. Duncan of Marion County; Argentine Admiral To Be Court Martialed BUENOS AIRES, Argentina The Navy Ministry announced this week Alberto Teissaire, a re tired admiral and vice president of Argentina when Juan D. Peron's regime fell, will be tried by a five man naval court of honor. This court will judge his conduct in office on the same terms as an army court of honor will re view Peron's conduct. The Army Ministry appointed a five-man court last week to try Peron, a three-star general when he was ousted from the presidency, in ab sentia. , Both ministries announced that the trials by the courts will be on the "grounds of honor" and will not prejudice any later civil court trials for criminal offenses. interior secretary of favoritism to business and industry. "We should nave a man who is free and independent and willing to do a job in the best interest of the devclopmnnt of the country," he said. The 79-year-old senator also was critical of his 1954 opponent, W'es lev D'Ewart, who earlier this month was named to a recess appointment as assistant secretary of the interior. Murray said he would oppose D'Ewart's confirmation when Con gress reconvenes "because he is not qualified for the job." Hawaiian statehood could be ap proved by the next session of Con gress, Murray said, "if the ad ministration would withdraw its ill founded opposition to a fair deal for Alaska." He said he is open minded about separating Hawaii and Alaska when the statehood question comes up for consideration. A bill com bining the two territories was side tracked in the last session.
