Sat., Feb. 11, 1961 FOREST CUT DEFENDED By Charles V. Stanton Timber appraisals by the U.S. Forest Service are realistic in that they consistently are below bids received at competitive sales. Sen. Wayne Morse, replying to a request from Wil liam D. (Bill) Hagenstein, executive vice-president of the Industrial Forestry Association, that the Oregon delega tion in Congress work for lower appraisals on federal tim ber rerj es that the Forest Service has adjusted its ap praisals to market conditions and has kept in step with demand. Hagenstein had asked for "realistic" appraisals. He contended that the Forest Service has maintained its pric es at a level too high for general conditions; that the For est Service is responsible for the slow-bell operations of the lumber industry. Replying to Hagenstein, Sen. Morse reported that he had obtained information concerning sales, chiefly eastern Oregon Rales. His information, he said covered 496 sales, involving more than two billion board feet. In the first quarter of the year appraised prices were $24.87 as compared with bid averages of $34.23. In the last quarter of 1960 appraised prices had dropped to $18. 53, while bid averages were $21.82. Appraised prises av eraged $21.67 for- the year while bid prices av eraged $27.17. The statistics concerned sales in the pine belt where the Industrial Forestry Association has the bulk of its membership, the senator reports. The same general situation, however, js true in the Douglas fir regions in western Qrcgon. Allowable Cut Met , Sen. Morse, in his reply to Hagenstein, says: "The Forest Service records show quite conclusively that the amount of timber sold meets the full requirements of their allowable cut for eastern Oregon and in addition that the timber cut is approximately equal to the allowable cut. The volume of timber offered for sale and unsold is about 1 per cent of the total volume marketed. The senator's analysis, in my opinion, gives a com plete answer to Hagenslein's continued efforts to get for est appraisals down. Morse branches his reply off into politics, however, by placing "the difficulties facing Oregon's timber indus try," at the door of the "Eisenhower administration." He mentions particularly high interest rales, lack of support for "urgently needed" public housing, construction of schools, programs in depressed areas, etc. Most people knowing the situation in the Industry are convinced that the current recession results from over reduction rather than from any political policies. A good many people can't go along with the senator's views that we should build housing with taxpayer money, even though we already have a surplus of dwelling units, that we should permit the federal government to take over our school systems, or that we should pour tax money as a Rubsidv into depressed areas when we have very aggres. sive communities trying to do something for themselves. I agree with the senator when he says Hagenstein's "implication that the dedicated career conservationists in the Forest Service are in any way responsible lor tne 17.400 person drop" in employment is "completely un founded." But I can't agree that the answer is to be found in a mustard plaster of socialism or in the tin cup Morse seems to have picked up where the late JJick Neu berger dropped it. NEW YORK (AP) James D, Zellerbach, former ambassador to Italy, accuses some of this coun try's partners in the North At lantic Treaty Organization of 'lending a knife" to the Soviet Union "to cut our collective throats" in trade with neutralist countries. He says trade credits extended by Western European countries enabled the Soviets to free an equivalent amount of their finan cial resources for economic com petition against the West. The competition is in the uncommitted countries of Africa, Asia and La tin America. Zellerbach, a San Francisco in dustrialist who. resigned in Novem ber after four years in Rome un der the Eisenhower administra tion, discussed NATO nations this week at a meeting of the Committee for Economic Devel opment. Addressing business men and educators, Zellerbach said profit seeking rivalry within NATO has cut controls on strategic trade with the Communist bloc to "a tattered remnant of what they were a few years ago. "When you state it as a proposi tion that the free world should not contribute to its own downfall by letting the Communists exploit its economic strength, everyone of course agrees," he added. A number of governments. however and since I am naming names, I will mention the United Kingdom find it difficult to be lieve that the rule should not ad mit of exceptions profitable to themselves." County Health Notes Obese Persons Said Most Likely Candidates For Sugar Diabetes By DR. JOHN H. DONNELLY County Health Officer With the discovery of insulin in 1921, the outlook on life for the sugar diabetic improved dramati cally. Through the use of this hor mone or its equivalent and good medical management, the diabetic now has a life expectancy almost as great as the general population, particularly if his diabetes does not develop in childhood. Paradoxically, though, the num ber of deaths and the crude death rate from this disease have both been rising. The reason for this is best understood when we consider the death rate from this disease is approximately four times as great Top-lnferesf Bills Awaiting Disposal Debated During Last Week's Hearings PIGGY BACK TAX SALEM (AP) Representa tives of the Teamsters Union clashed Friday with representa tives of railroad labor and man agement and shippers on a bill that would subject piggy-back freight-hauling to a tax. Piggy-back hauling is the prac tice of using railroad flatcars for transporting trailer rigs lone dis tances. Emery Hunloon. Portland Team ster, said this practice threatens to drive long distance trucking out of business and that it costs the state considerable weight mile tax money. Kantian Kestcr. Portland offi cial of the Union Pacific Railroad, said a state should not use its taxing power to equalize compe tition between trucks and rail roads. Huntoon cited comparative fig ures on miles driven and gross earnings of two large trucking companies whicn he said showed that piggy-DacK naming had re dueed the use of long-haul trucks. George Edgar, another Port land Teamster, said piggy-back hauling had cost many Teamsters their jobs. WELFARE BOARD SALEM (AP) A plan for re organization of the state Puhlic Welfare Commission was offered Friday by Senate President Har ry Boivin, D-Klamath Falls. The plan followed by a day an announcement by House Speaker Robert Duncan, D-Medford, that JFK Administration Estimates U.S., Red Talks Possible In 6 Mos. "SHE SHALL HAVE MUSIC . . There's an old jingle, "With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes." A more modern version would substitute a transistor radio for the jingle's jewelry. Just try getting away from the radio! You'd have to be a hermit! Walk down the street behind any group of teenagers and you'll hear a radio tinkling forth a jangle of so-called music or an inspiring (?) commercial. Most of the time you'll hear several programs simultaneously. The transistor radio, some no larger than a package of cigarettes, has created a big gain in the size of the listening audience. The radio and television seem to be having a day and night appeal to the teenage public. "AND WE EMBRACED" Announcements that the story of the Swiss Family Robinson is being shown at a local theater recalls to me my disgust with the book. I was just at that age when females were not to be considered fit members of society (an opinion I wasn't long changing). Hut I was at that age in life when the male youngster has no use for any member of the opposite sex who can't play football or baseball. I recall that I found the plot thrilling, but about every other paragraph, as I remember the book, the writer in serted the words, "and we embraced." That was enough for met I'd put the book down until my juvenile stomach would permit me to devour the next chapter. I hope the screen writer left out some of the clinches. If Good Dogs Go To Happy Land, Good 01' Sid Must Be There Now Editors Note: John M. Highlow- er, veteran Associated Press dip lomatic writer, has watched the early moves of the Kennedy admin istration and has talked with many officials of the new regime which took over three weeks ago Friday. By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) Kennedy administration leaders now esti mate they can be ready to under take major negotiations with the Soviet Union within six months. Soviet officials have been warned quietly against triggering new crises at uernn or elsewhere during this formative period in the nope of exploiting any lack of ex perience and decisiveness in Wash ington, i Swiff Response Promised Though President Kennedy hopes for better East-West rela tions, Moscow has been informed, any fresh Soviet challenge will bring a swift, touch U. S. response. This administration intends to leave no doubt in the minds of the American people or other peo ples, it is said, of its determina tion to react vigorously to any threat and not to be bluffed or blackmailed. Administration leaders reported ly feci that Soviet Premier Khrush chev understands their bluntly stated position and is acting with restraint. One reason, as seen here, may be his desire for an early, in formal meeting with Kennedy as well as a later summit session: an other may be serious interest on his part in doing something to bring the arms race under control. Avoids Clashes At a minimum. Kennedy and his advisers believe Khrushchev wants to avoid a major military clash and to concentrate his main effort on opening up negotiations on such matters as the future of Berlin and disarmament problems. In preparation for these negotia tions, Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk are starting coun try by country and area by area re-examinations of U. S. foreign policies, parallel with their efforts to quiet the current crises in Laos and the Congo. A White House meeting Satur day is scheduled to initiate a top level review of U. S.-Soviet rela tions with Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson, U. S. envoy to Mos cow, sitting in with Kennedy, Rusk, and several experts on Soviet af fairs. Three Requirements As officials here see the over all policy prospect at present, the United States faces three basic re quirements in preparation for en tering along with its chief allies into negotiations with the Soviet Union: 1. To begin building greater po litical and economic unity in what (hey refer to as the Atlantic com' munitv." At the heart of this problem is a need for greater NATO military strength and greater singleness of purpose among the Western allies. The Atlantic community develop ment is said to be basic to U. t. world policy, especially since Ken nedy wants the wealthy allied na- tions to share the burden of ex panded aid programs for Africa, Asia and Latin America. Those are expected to be the major areas of contest with the Soviets in the next few years. 2. To reinforce U. S. military might and restore U. S. prestige as leader of the non-Communist world, making it clear to the So viet Union and Red China that a willingness to negotiate settle ments of outstanding problems does not mean weakness on the part of this country. 3. To begin bringing non-Communist nations, allied and neutral, into an integrated economic system, this objective involves domestic as well as foreign policy problems. Unemployment in the United Stales raises pressures for pro tective tariff measures, foreign aid cutbacks and other steps contrary to the administration's world aim. he had a compromise proposal unaer consideration. Boivin's proposaL would abolish the present seven-man welfare board and replace it witn a five- man board. This board, under Boivin's plan would appoint an administrator with the consent of the governor. Boivin said the plan is aimed at givmg county courts and wet fare commissions more responsi bility. Boivin's legislation would re quire that one member of the Welfare Commission be a county commissioner or judge and an other would have to be a mem ber of a county welfare commis sion. Duncan's plan also would give the governor a veto power in the selection of an administrator by the commission. Senate Votes To Abolish State Liquor Tab System AN0OVER, Mass. (AP) If there t a happy land where good dogs go, Big Sid must be there now. Tor the famed, sad-cved Massa chusetts Stale Police bloodhound, rescuer of hundreds of lost chil dren, holder of a medal for valor, has gone to sleep for the last time. Putting Big Sid to alccp was I final act of mercy for the mighty dog who was retired with full pa rade honors at the Slat Police Arademy in Framingham last summer. Rig Sid, like many an other faithful police veteran, de veloped bad legs In his old age and at last there waa partial pa ralysis. After cremation, the ashes of the 10-year veteran were scattered to the winds in a snowy forest near the Andover Police Barracks a forest where in greener times Big Sid followed many an adven turous trail. Within the harracVs alongside the pictures of honored Stale Troopers are hung Bid Sid'i pic ture and his medal. By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SAI.F.M (AP) The Oregon Sen ate voted 22-7 today to abolish state liquor purchase permits, but to require persons between 21 and 25 years old to obtain identifica tion cards from the Liquor Com mission. The bill goes to me House. Sponsors said the permit sys tem serves no useful purpose, and that its abolition would make It easier for tourists to buy liquor. They said the identification cards would prevent sale of liquor to persons under 21 years of age. But opponents objected that do ing away with the permits would cost $:I30,000 a year in revenue, half of which goes to the cities. The opponeta failed 18-11 in a move to send the bill to the Ways and Means Committee for a study of these financial angles. Sen. Andrew J. Natcrlin, 1- Newport, said the proposed new system has worked wen in wasn ington state. He said the Tuqunr Commission feels that the permits no longer are needed. Rut Sen. Vernon Cook, D-Trout-dale, said the state has enough financial troubles without reduc ing revenue!. Sen. Al Flegel. D-Roseburg, as serted that the liquor permit sys tem was designed to control pur chase of liquor, but it has not worked. lxiss of revenue to the cities firobably would he made up by egislalion to increase the cities' 10 per cent share of liquor rev enues to 15 per rent, he said. The House passed and sent to the Senate a memorial asking Congress to repeal the federal ex- of all 90 legislators. A compromise measure to try to solve the controversial timber tax problem was introduced un der sponsorship of 35 of the 60 House members. European Group Expands Alliance PARIS (AP) The leaders of six European Common Market na tions agreed here to give their economic alliance political func tions and to hold future summit sessions regularly. A reliable diplomatic source said the government leaders also agreed the Common Market struc ture could encompass such prob lems at a later date as commu nications and cultural exchanges. This agreement was apparent ly a compromise between the po litical goala of French President Charles de Gaulle and West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Adenau er. De Gaulle would like to see a European confederation of states while Adenauer leans to ward firmer integration. Today's agreements at the first Common Market little summit session apparently satisfied both men for the time being, without bringing to a head their basic dis agreement. The TEEN-AGE DRIVERS SALEM (AP-Reo. Phil Lang D-Portland. introduced a bill in the House Friday to regulate the use of motor vehicles by teen agers. The bill, co-sponsored oy sen. W lam A. Grenfell, D-Portland would raise the minimum driver age to 18. However, the bill would permit teen-agers who have successful ly completed authorized driver training to get a restricted li cense at 16. This restricted license would be invalid after 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday and after 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday ex cent in an emergency situation. The bill would prohibit driving to and from school unless a hard ship existed. Local school boards would determine it a nardsnip existed. PRICE CUTTING SALEM (AP) Rep. Mel Gord on, R-Portland. Friday introduced a House resolution that would create a special nine-member in tcrim committee to study competi tive price-cutting. Gordon said the committee also would study the selling of goods services below cost. He said he was introducing this resolution in an attempt to pro tect small businessmen and to protect the employes of small concerns who are losing jobs. The resolution would propose a committee of two state senators appointed bv the Senate presi dent, two stale representatives appointed by the House Speaker and five members appointed by the governor. Of those named oy me gover nor, two would be lawyers, two would be owners of businesses and another would be .an owner TEACHER MEDICARE SALEM (AP) The House Ed ucation Committee discussed a bill Friday to permit school dis tricts to pay costs of teacher medical plans, but took no ac tion. Louise Humphrey of Oregon Tax Research, said if the bill is approved it should be amended to say that the teachers would have to pay 50 per cent of insur ance costs. She said she was not sure the hill should be passed at all but if it was having the teachers help pay its costs would give them a vested interest and help to keep down the costs. Cecil Pose of the Oregon Edu cation Association said the pur pose of the bill is to make it pos sible for school districts to pay part or all of the medical plan costs as a fringe benefit for teachers. HIGHWAY BOARD SALEM (AP) Two state leg islators announced Friday they will introduce a bill Monday to abolish the state Highway Com mission. Sen. R. F. Chapman. D-Coos Bay, and Rep. Beulah Hand, D Milwaukie, said the hill would es tablish a superintendent of high ways to serve in place of the commission. The bill would have the high ways superintendent appointed by the governor subject to Senate confirmation. The highways superintendent would be appointed for a four year term to serve at the pleas ure of the governor and could be reappointed. for persons over 65 as for persons under 45 and 65, and our elder citizens nave a death rate from diabetes approximately 100 times that of children. Thus the increase in the appearance of diabetes deaths is another consequence of tne tact that we are living longer man we used to.' Females are affected more fre quently than males. Overweight people are more likely to get di abetes than those of normal weight or underweight. It has been esti mated that approximately 2 per cent of all people have diabetes or are likely to get it. Of these, about nan know they are diabetic. Since diabetes is best controlled and may be even cured, if detected early, it follows that the future health and long life of the unknown diabetic depends upon his becom ing aware that he has the disease or a tendency to it. Diabetes is a disease of faulty metabolism or burning of sugar in the body. It is caused by insuffi cient or impaired secretion of in sulin by the pancreas. Diabetics do not tolerate sugar in the diet well, and tend to spill excessive sugar in the urine. However, test ing of urine alone for the detection of diabetes will miss about one case in three. A much more ade quate test is examination of the blood a certain period of time aft er a meal containing sugar. The diabetic has a tendency to drink excessive amounts of water and to urinate frequently and in large volume. Diabetes decreases resistance to infection, and over a period of time it tends to cause changes in the blood vessel walls. These may lead to symptoms of heart and artery disease. Vision may be impaired. Heredity plays an important role in the development of diabetes. While the disease itself is not in herited, a tendency to develop the disease is. Therefore, blood rela tives of known diabetics are more likely to have diabetes than the population at large. If Douglas County is typical of the United States, and it prooaoiy is in this respect, there are about 700 diabetics in the county right now. About half of these know they have the disease. Of those who don't know they have it, persons fitting this general description should seek a medical check-up to rule out the possibility of this con dition: 1. There is diabetes in the family. 2.

Editorial Comment START GUN SAFETY EARLY Albany Dtmocrat-Htrald Cops-and-robber, Indian fighting and such games are a lot of fun for youngsters but they need guns to play most of them. Pellet-shooting airguns cannot be legally used within Albany's city limits, but there is an abundant supply of harmless simulated guns which youngsters can fire at each other without danger of inflicting harm. . . Nevertheless indiscriminate use of even these harmless weapons has its drawbacks. There is danger that children who play at shooting games may develop carelessness in the handling of firearms that could produce lethal results after they grow old enough to use real guns.

Though they ran million-dollar businesses and collected annual salaries of up to $130,000, they'll follow the same prison routine of any prisoner. The seven men were sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge J. Cullen Ganey for violating the federal antitrust laws by fixing prices and rigging bids. U.S. Marshal William A. O'Brien said the men three from General Electric Co.; two from Westinghouse Electric Corp.. and one each from Cutler-Hammer, Inc., Milwaukee, and Clark con troller Co., Cleveland will be driven to the Montgomery County Prison by nis deputies Monday morning. O'Brien said he originally planned to take the men to a Philadelphia jail, but it was over crowded. Warden Andrew J. While of Montgomery County Prison said the men will be awakened at 6:30 a.m. They will be assigned two to a cell. He said he didn't know if they would be given obs, such as book keeping work in the office, add ing "it all depends if they want to work." Lights in the prison go out at 9 p.m. and radios must be turned off at midnight. . The cells to be occupied by the men are about 18 by 20 feet. Some have stone walls and others steel. The prison sentences were im posed on J. H. Chiles, Sharon, Pa., Westinghouse vice president; W. S. Ginn, Schenectady, N.Y., GE vice president; Lewis J.

If There's A Frozen Asset Around N.Y., It's An Auto NEW YORK (AP) If there ever was a frozen asset around here, it's the automobile. Hundreds of thousands oi tnem are entombed along the streets and parkways of New York City alone, not to mention the sub urban areas. They're literally buried tinder mountains of snow. If there should be another con siderable snowfall soon, many of them probably won't be seen again until the Fourth of July. It's going to take a real summer thaw. Some of the vehicles are miles from home abandoned as driv ers bogged down Friday night in the midst of the latest big storm to hit the metropolitan area. Drivers and passengers in tneir cars very nearly froze, too, be fore they could reach the warmth and safety of private nomes, nars and other places of refuge. Get ting home after that was quite an ordeal, also. Practically every conversation here goes something like this: "Hi John how are you how did you make out the other night gosh let me tell you what happened to me." Punctuation simply gels lost in the rush to tell first. One of the most critical areas in the city was on the Belt Park way, a major three-lane thorough fare which links the South and North Shores of Long Island through Brooklyn and Queens. More than 1.000 men. women and children got stuck in cars there Friday night. Plenty of the cars are still there, although the parkway has been partially cleared for emer gency traffic only. Snowplows just shoved them aside as thev did others elsewhere in the city and then neaped even more snow on them. One thing for sure, nobodv is likely to steal any of them. It would take a thief days to dig most of them nut. fear of pointing guns, even un- loaded" ones, at people and domes tic animals. Less than two weeks ago a Leb anon boy was shot twice by some one who had not been taught never to fire a gun without ascertaining first if his bullet might find an unexpected target. The victim in this c.ise was not mortally wounded but thousands of others have not been so fortunate. Never does a hunting season pass in Oregon but what one or more persons have been killed by others who did not know how to proper ly use a gun. In addition to that many others are slain or wounded through carelessness or ignorance in handling their own weapons, like pulling a gun through a fence by its muzzle instead of its stock, forgetting to unload a gun before cleaning or storing it or neglect ing to apply the safety catch while carrying it. To educate prospective hunters the National Rifle Association is spearheading a nation-wide pro gram of safety education for hunt ers. It started in New York in 1949 and is now conducted on a co operative basis with fish and game departments in 29 other states, and by other groups in still more states. More than 33,000 sportsmen and game department employes serve as instructors. The NRA claims that wherever these safety courses are conducted, hunting and other accidents involv ing guns have declined. While these instruction classes are designed primarily for begin ners, from what we have seen onri tiparri a lot of adults should be attending, too. In fact it would not hurt anyone to take part, par ticularly parents of youngsters who are now playing cops ano roooers. wee.

No Relief For Bettors BOSTON (AP) Horse players who lose money when jockeyes (all off the horses they bet on aren't going to get any legislative relief this year. Th House Thurs day turned down a bill which would have reimbursed them. DECK IS STACKED Corvallis Gazette-Times There has been introduced into the Legislature a bill which, in most instances would guarantee unions would automatically win all their strikes regardless of how out landish their demands might be or how detrimental a strike settlement on union terms might be to lha general public. In essence, the bill would prohib it recruiting or supplying "any in dividual for employment in place of an employe involved in a labor dispute in which such person is not directly interested." 11 this is not unlair will some one please explain just how a struck employer is to get a new working force if he doesn't recruit them or someone doesn't send them to him? In plain black and while the bill means that union labor does not intend that anyone is to take the place of a union worker while he is on strike. The bill is. of course, a result of The Oregonian and Oregon Journal beating the strike against them. Union leaders were horrified when the two papers continued to publish without union labor. They didn't think it could be done. They don't intend that any other industry in similar circumstances will be able to produce. Had this promised bill been a law before the newspaper strike it is possible that there would be no newspaper published in Portland to day, even though every court and board before whom the merits of the strike have been argued have declared it to be illegal. Legal or not, the bill would, in many cases, prohibit an owner from operating his business after a strike even though he couldn't afford to meet the union's demands and to do so would put him out of business. This is a bad bill and should be defeated. It strikes at the very heart of our free enterprise sys tem. SIMPLE SOLUTION Daily Astorian The legislators in Salem are link kcring again with the state income tax schedules, which grow ever more complex. Which is a remind er that we still think the simplest and best solution is one we saw in another Oregon newspaper a few years ago we forget which one. This suggestion was that the state tax commission simply charge the taxnaver a nprcentage of the federal income tax he is paying for any given year. This would save the taxnaver the burden of preparing a stale in come tax return. It would save the said, Kennedy "should tell the American people the actual situa tion."

It would be just as equitable as the lcciorai income tax. We have never seen an argument against this system. Why wouldn't it work?
