BLM Adds 7 Million
Board Feet To Quantity
Set For Douglas County
A boost of 7 million board feet
in the annual allowable cut or.
Douglas County 04C timber1 has
been announced by the Bureau of
Land Management.
The increase is included in i
slate-wide boost of some 77.1 mil
lion board feet over the last in
crease. BLM officials said the boost is
the sixth since the original order
on the allowable cut for the 12
master units in the state was an
nounced in 1955. Increases in three
units South Umpqua, Siuslaw
and Josephine account for the
current boost.
The South Umpqua unit showed
an allowable cut increase from 25,
500,000 board feet in the original
order to 32,500,000 in the latest
estimate. The recent amendment
macks the first increase for the
unit since the original order.
The Josephine unit cut was boost
ed from 48,800,000 board feet in the
original estimate to a current fig
ure of 102,000,000. The original Siu
slaw order placed the allowable
cut at 57,000,000. It was raised to
79,100,000 in the latest order.
The South Umpqua and Douglas
units are contained entirely in
Douglas County. The latter unit's
allowable cut was not increased in
the latest order. Its figure stands
at 112.800,000 annually compared
to 89.400,000 board feet as set or
iginally. Displaces Old Estimates

U.S. Budget Last
Fiscal Year In Red
Nearly $3 Billion
WASHINGTON (AP) The
government said Monday the na
tional budget was in the red by
$2,813,000,000 at the end of t h e
fiscal year last June ju.
Secretary of the Treasury An
derson and Budget Director Mau
rice 11. Stans made the announce
ment in a joint statement based
on preliminary reports still sub
ject to revision.
The deficit was recorded after
two fiscal years in which the gov
ernment's budget books were in
the black.
As recently as last January,
the budget for the 1958 fiscal year
ended June 30 would be in the red
by only 400 million dollars.
Receipts during the fiscal year
totaled $69,100,000,000, down near
ly two billion dollars from fiscal
1957. The drop was caused largely
by the recession slump in earn
ings of businesses and individuals.
Budget spending during the 12
months total $71,900,000,000, an in
crease of 2"j billion dollars over
the mevious fiscal year.
Spending was boosted By post-
sputnik emphasis on defense, anti
recession programs and later
outlays under the farm price sup
port program.
For the new fiscal year which
began July 1, officials are esti
mating a budget deficit of 10 to
12 billion dollars.
Lunch Program
To Be Discussed
By School Board
A special Koseburg School Board
meeting is scheduled for Tuesday
night to discuss the district's
school lunch program.
The matter was brought up at a
meeting last Wednesday but ta
bled. One director said he felt the
board needed an entire evening
for discussion and another said
more than three members of the
board should be present.
Under consideration is the pos
sibility of providing lunches at Hu
crest, Eastwood, Wilbur and Win
chester elementary schools and
Joseph Lane Junior High School.
The matter was also brought up
at a June 24 meeting and the board
at that time requested Supt. M. C.
Dcller to submit a cost estimate of
the proposed plan for providing
the lunches.
The plan under consideration
calls for completion of kitchen fa
cilities at Hucrest School. It has
been estimated that additional
small equipment would cost S2.-
iiz.SHi, additional salaries SB.705
and transporting of food $1,500. Es
timates for labor and materials to
complete the Hucrest cafeteria are
being prepared.
Supt. Deller said the proposed
plan was prepared by assuming
that the percentage of participa
tion by the students will be ap
proximately the same as it was
during the past school year.

The United States it was

definitely turn down the Soviet
Premier'! call (or an immediate
meeting outside the United Na

diplomacy concentrated in the

The U.S.' version would 'counter
the sensational Soviet mova of last
Saturday with a proposal that
Khrushchev take to the Security
Council his charge that the United
States and Britain endangered
peace by putting troops into Le
banon and Jordan.
Britain and France were re
ported in agreement with the
United States on this general line
of approach which would verv
likely result in a high level Se
curity Council meeting of either
foreign ministers or chiefs of gov
ernment. But there appeared to
be some difference, at least of
emphasis, between Washington
and the two European capitals
