L. 0. Arens, State Industrial Ac cident commissioner, saiu: "We simply can't afford to have acci dents, nor can industry afford to let them happen. Dollars just don't replace paychecks nor men." He said the slate has learned in a check of 8,800 lumber employes averaging $390 a month that with out Oregon coverage, which ranks high in the United States, losses could range from one third of earn ings for a man with six children to moro than two-thirds of salary for a single man. The group also heard from G. Scott Kallcnbaugh, director of the accident prevention division of SIAC. He urged more safety con-1 sciousness on the job. He said workers in Oregon live in such a "nice place it is strange that some people don't want to live and enjoy it." He also called for adoption of some of the outstanding safety work in the major industries of the East for Industries in the west. Three panels were conducted In the afternoon session. Ivan Gay of E. K. Wood Lumber Co. of Reeds. port discussed safety in sawmill ing. Ho said one of the outstanding advances by his company was use COMBINING areas of managemnt, state and labor took part In Saturday's industrial safety program at Fullerton School.

JHL Lightning-Set Fires In Umpqua Forest Squelched A lightning fire which burned 40 acres of heavy brush five miles west of Lemola No. 1 camp in the Umpqua National Forest this weekend is oeing moppea up Monday. Lightning struck the snow-free south slope of Dread and Terror Ridge Friday afternoon, reports U. S. Forest Service Fire Control Officer Ray Hampton. The blaze was spotted by Copco crews who took initial action to prevent us spreading. Hampton said damage was slight in this first fire "of more than minor nature" in 1956. He said it was necessary for fire crews to plough through snow 8 feet deep in spots to get to the blaze. Some 40 men, 10 of them forest service employes, the remainder Copco crewmen, were sent in. Hampton said the fire came a "little early" in the season. He said it was unusual in that it struck in one of the slopes where the snow had melted. He pointed out that the north slope of the ridge, behind the fire, was covered with snow "clear to the top." The forest service had Roseburg !jilot Shirley Wardle drop food sup plies ana oeaaing into uie area for the fire crew Saturday. Sat urday morning Hampton and War die flew over the area and also over Diamond Lake. Only an ice fringe on the south west corner of the lake remains, Hampton said, although the camp grounds are still buried in 3 to 5 feet of snow. The road to the lake up the North Umpqua Highway is open. Hampton said The Union Creek Highway from Medford and Highway 97 were about opened.

The row flared up Saturday Armed Forces Day, which is sup posed to be dedicated to unity of the military services. While they were cooperating In displays across the country, some sources in tlje Pentagon gave newsmen documents declaring that present emphasis on air power could lead only to "national disaster." One difference involves an Air Force contention that the Navy air arm could deliver only a "small" strategic punch. Another centers around rivalry over missile devel opment. Touching off the new row was the release of various Army pa pers. One of them said in part: "We continue to pour excessive manpower and money into an air force which has been substantially neutralized and which pleads for more money, more money, more money. We continue to divert large quantities of our military manpower into a navy that is se riously threatened by a nation with practically no naval experi ence or tradition." Oregon COP, Democrats Both See Victory Signs (Continued from PageOne) the Republicans four years ago. They predicted McKay would pick up nearly all of the Smith vote in the fall. There were no signs of acrimony as the aftermath of the Republican campaign. Hitchcock congratulat ed McKay and said they both had held to a common goal defeat of Morse in the fall. He pledged his aid to McKay. The ballot count was slow, but fewer than 60 small, outlying pre cincts were unreported Saturday as the vote confirmed Adlai Stev enson's 8-5 victory margin over Sen Estes Kefauver in the Demo cratic presidential write-in contest. Stevenson got 88,262 votes, Ke fauver 56,899. About 60 per cent of the registered Democrats voted. Stevenson also got Oregon's 16 delegates to the Democratic Na tional Convention and the psycho logical boost for the primaries coming up in Florida and Califor nia. About 63 per cent of the regis tered Republicans turned out and 92 per cent of them marked their ballots for President Eisenhower, who wa.i unopposed. He had 221, 471 votes, the greatest number in either party. Gov. IMmo smith was next, pil ing up 217,852 as he won Repub lican nomination to succeed him self. His opponent was a political unknown, Earl Dickson, Albany grocer, who had 22,909 votes. Smith's opponent will be Rob ert D. Holmes, Astoria radio sta tion manager, who won the Dem ocratic nod as expected, although his margin of victory was so nar row it gave party leaders a fright. His opponent. Lew Wallace, Portland insurance man who has been on statewide ballots several times, announced some time ago he was withdrawing from the race because of a heart condition. Nevertheless he ran up 100,102 Votes. Holmes, who campaigned only lightly despite the fact it was his first time on a statewide bal lot, barely squeezed ahead with 106,349. Vice President Nixon was cred ited with 26.813 write-in votes for vice president, but his support un doubtedly was more than that. A number of counties decided against counting his total at this time, and the vote for him will not be determined until the official canvass several weeks hence. Oregon's four congressmen won renomination. Three are Republi cans. They are Sam Coon, who will be opposed in Eastern Ore gon by Al Ullman, advocate of a high federal dam in Hells canyon; Harris Ellsworth, who will be op nosed in Soutncrn O r e g o n by Charles Porter, Eugene attorney; and Walter Norblad, who will tie opposed in northeast Oregon by Jason Lee, Salem attorney. Tho fourth incumbent is a Dem ocrat, Mrs. Edilh Green, who will be opposed In Multnomah County (Portland) by Phil Roth, Portland attorney. Two Portland attorneys were chosen as national committee men. C. Girard Davidson, assist ant secretary of the Interior in the Truman administration, led State Rep. Pat Dooley, Portland, by nearly 19,000 votes for Demo cratic committeeman. Robert Mautz, a University of Oregon football star in the 1920s, topped Stnto Sen. John Merrifield by about 12,000 votes to become Republican committeeman. Davidson replaces Monroe Swectland and Mautz succeeds Jess Card, Portland. Neither Sweetland nor Card sought re election. Mrs. Virginia Grant, an attrac tive 33-year-old Portland cocktail waitress, provided an upset when she defeated a political veteran, Mrs. Gladys Last, Portland, for Democratic national committce woman. State Supreme Court Justice Hall S. Lusk easily won re-election with a better than 2-1 margin over L. B. Sandblast, Portland. City Tax Base Vote Still Undetermined - (Continued From Pago One) make requests by the city for spe cial levies over the ( per cent limitation unnecessary in most years to come, city officials say. Should the measure carry, a levy of $140,723.04 outside the old 8 per cent wouldn't be put to a special vote. The new tax base would cov er that amount with room to spare, Farrcll said. The levy was figured last week by the City Budget Committee as the amount necessary to balance the proposed 1956-57 city budget. With the same 17 precincts re porting, a recommendatory vote on whether the city water supply should be fluoridated was safely passed, 1,798 - 1,102. Building Trades Topic At Architects' Meet The Southwestern Oregon chap ter of the American Institute of Architects May meeting in Rose burg over the weekend drew 15 members and guests.

Glenn, local architect, was pro gram chairman and presided over general discussion.
