Reorganization Of Company To Take Over Timber Right PORTLAND, Oct. 3 l Reor ganization of a company is under way here to tdke over rights to three billion boara feet of timber in the Wrangell area of southeast ern Alaskaa and build a sawmill and a pulp mill. Ira G. Mason, chief of the tim ber division of the U. S. Forest Service, here from Washington, D. C, said this week that while the program at the moment is only PRUDENTIAL LIFE INSURANCE HORACE C. BERG Special Agent Room 301 Pacific Building Off. OR 3-7491. Re. OR 3-719S under study, he was hopeful It would be completed and final de cision reached this month. Pacific Northern Timber Co., which has held a Forest Service contract for the timber since 1954, is the company being reorganized, with Joe M. Crahane and a num ber of his associates in the Moun tain Fir Lumber Co. of Independ ence, Ore., taking a 50 per cent interest. Expecting Presidency C. Girard Davidson, Portland attorney, is expected to be named president of the reorganized firm and to hold 50 per cent ownership. Crahane,' a successful timber op erator, is to be vice president and manager. Crahane is believed to have gone to Alaska some days ago and Davidson left for there Wednesday night. Mason said that a key issue in the present talks is whether re vised plans of Pacific Northern "will meet the basic purposes for which the timber was sold origin ally." In 1954 Pacific Northern got cut ting rights to three billion board feet of timber under a contract which called for the company to have a sawmill in operation by Dec. 31 of this year and a pulp mill with an 80-ton daily capacity by Dec. 31. 1962. The Forest Service twice grant ed extensions when the company failed to get its operating plans perfected. The most recent calls for basic sawmill equipment to be on order by Nov. 1. Winter Skirl Sate Mason said that if the revised plans of the company now being worked out should prove satisfac tory, "we will amend the contract to give time to construct the mill." Company officials could not be reached here for formal confir mation of future plans, but it was understood that the interest be ing bought by Crahane and his associates thought to number 20 or more was being relin quished by Ralph E. William Jr. and Robert F. Johnson, Portland. They, with Davidson, had formed the original company. All wool skirts In the season's newest fashions and fabrics.

Supreme Court Rules Against Guest Passenger SALEM un The Oregon Su preme Court ruled this week that Mrs. Lora Gantenbein can't collect any damages for injuries received in a collision between a car and logging truck in Clatsop County. The decision reversed the Clat sop County Circuit Court, which had ordered Mrs. Mae Huckle berry to pay $10,000 damages. Mrs. tianteinbein was a passen ger in a car driven by Mrs. Huckleberry. The car was struck when Mrs. Huckleberry made a left turn in front of the oncoming truck. The law provides that a guest passenger in a car can't collect damages for injuries in an acci dent unless gross negligence has been proved. The Supreme Court opinion, by Justice George Rossman, held that Mrs. Gantenbein had not proved gross negligence. The high .court said that Circuit Judge Howard K. Zimmerman of Astoria should have thrown the case out of court. Portlander Takes Swing At Taxes And Spending KANSAS CITY. l Krnest G. Swigert, the Portland industrialist who is president of the National Assn. of Manufacturers, took an other swing this week at federal taxes and spending. He told the Kansas City Rotary Club, "If we had deliberately set out to set up a tax system that would impede progress and de stroy initiative, we could hardly have done the job better." "Taxes have climbed, Swigert said while retained earnings have gone down, depriving the nation of both initiative and tal ent. He said bureaucracy has creat ed expensive programs which are "mushrooming in Washington and are going on unchecked." Asian Flu Cases Nearly Doubled WASHINGTON i Asian flu cases nearly doubled again last week, going up by an estimated 200,000 new cases to make a total of 422. 6.i0 since early June. Reporting this Friday, the Pub lic Health Service said the esti mates were based on incomplete reports. A spokesman pointed out also that the reports cover the period only through last Saturday. Thus, they do not include outbreaks inis week such as 150.000 new cases among New York City school children. The spokesman also said 18 deaths have been reported in the continental United States in con' ncction with the flu outbreak; 13 in Puerto Rico; seven in Hawaii and two in Alaska. The weekly disease summary of the health service said the number of cases of influenza and influ enza-like disease continued to in crease in most parts of the United States last week. Medford Runaways Await Sentencing In Kansas WICHITA, Kan., tfl Two 15-year-old Medford, Ore., runaways await sentence here after plead ing guilty in federal court to transporting a stolen car from Colorado Springs to Wichita Sept. 24. U. S. Dist. Judge Delmas C. Hill asked Thursday for a report on the records of Harlan Lee Har mon and Robert Charles Mount before sentencing them. Moon Watchers Croup Started By Portlanders PORTLAND 11 A group of grade school scientists and their teachers, organized into an offi cial "moon watching station," re ported they may have heard radio signals from the Russian satellite Friday night. Robert Boardwell, a science teacher and director of the local group, said he picked up faint radio signals for a short time at about 10 p.m. But, he added, the group had no way of knowing if these were signals from the satellite. Clouds obscured the skies and there was no chance for the group to spot the Russian object with their telescopes. Boardwell organized the moon watch group as a science project. He said it is the only one in the United States made up of pupils and teachers. At Reed College, a group of mathematics, philosophy and phy sics students' tuned in the broad cast of the satellite radio signals, recorded it and rebroadcast it over the college radio station. They said they found the signals at both 40 and 20 megacycles and heard it twice within a period of about an hour and a half the time it takes the satellite to circle the world.
