McAimond nies
For Equal Time
Phil H. McAimond, Demo
cratic candidate for the U. S.
Senate, t o l d the Washington
C o u n ty Democratic Central
Committee Monday night that
he is "even more convinced
than ever" that Portland tele
vision station KGW-TV w ill
eventually have to provide him
"equal time" because of its pre
sentation of "Advise and Dis
sent, " a full-hour special pro
gram on Wayne Morse aired
twice recently by the station.
McAimond was in Washing
ton, D. C. last week to file a
formal complaint before th e
Federal Communications Com
mission in support of his claim
far "equal time" from KGW-TV.
He voiced his conviction as to
the sotrndness of his position
Monday night and expressed his
certainty thathe will receive a
favorable ruling from the FCC.
McAimond rejected as "an
unsound argument, "the claim
of o th e r s that such a ruling
would prevent television sta
tions from utilizing their facil
ities to present information on
public figures. He pointed out
that until an incumbent candi
date has announced his inten
tion to seek re-election, or un
til he has shown by his own ac
tivities overwhelming evidence
of active campaigning that the
equal time provisions of Section
315 of the FCC act would not
P"To say that this would open
the door for publicity seekers
to file early and reap the bene
fits of equal time is an inac
curacy since the equal time
provision does not become ef
fective until there are two op
posing candidates and an active
campaign," McAimond pointed
out.
'
It is McAlmond's contention
that once an incumbent candi
date has announced his inten
tion to run for re-election and
is a c tix ly campaigning, such
an announcement requires tele
vision and radio stations to re
cognize and comply with equal
time provisions of the FCC act.
Hatfield Raps Leg Action
r
Washington, D. C. —Senator
Mark O.Hatfield today charged
that "inconsistent federal poli
cies between the states on log
exports are a double-barreled
blast against lumbermen in Ore
gon and Washington. "
The glaring policy discrep
ancy in the federal govern
m e n t 's administration of its
timberlands in Alaska, Oregon
and Washington was the subject
of comments by Hatfield fol
lowing a major address by Sen
ator Warren G. Magnuson (D-
Wn. ) on the impact log exports
to Japanhave on lumbermen in
the Northwest.
The policy difference was
referred to as a "strange nation
al policy that says no logs be
exported from the State of Al
aska but they may be exported
without limitation fro m the
States of Oegon and Washing
ton. " Hatfield reiterated h is
previous stand on the issue in
dicating "this national policy
discrepancy is not right and
should be corrected. "
Oregon's junior senator again
rapped the Administration in
saying "the forest industry in
Oregon and Washington is in a
squeeze, and it is a serious one.
The industry has not recovered
from the Administration's tight
money policy in the past and
the resulting slump in home
•Wilding. "
The anticipated increase of
log exports tojapan and the ser
ious adverse impaetthe increase
of log exports will have on the
forest industry in the Northwest
isa problem that can no longer
be shunted around in the federal
government where it has been
the subject of study and review
for more than five years, " Hat
field said.
Both Magnuson and Hatfield
called for early action to solve
the problems facing timbermen
in Oregon and Washington which
stem directly from log exports.

District Manager
Named For Area
The Oregon senator stated
t h a t federal policies in the
management o f government
timberlands will determine in
large part the course of the lum
bering industry in Oregon. Fed
eral agencies control over 80
per cent of the timber in Ore
gon, yet in 1965 these federal
la n d s provided only slightly
dver 55 per cent of the total
timber harvest in Oregon.

Rulb Growers
Change Pack
Following a special meet
ing of Pacific Coast growers
of Easter lily bulbs recently,
when more than 90% of the
bulb growers were represent
ed, the Pacific Bulb Growers
Association, Inc., announced
that its members had decided
to discontinue packing double
nose lily bulbs In separate
cases.
Henceforth, a PBGA official
state, the double nose bulbs
will be mixed with the same
size and grade of single nose
bulbs and will be offered to
the trade without any distinction
as to pack or price. This de
velopment represents a signifi
cant change in the packing and
marketing of industry products,
he added, and previously, sep
arate double nose packs were
available at a premium price.
In order to off-set the high
handling, sorting, and packing
costs resulting from this op
eration, it was emphasized, the
growers decided that It would
be In the best Interests of all
segments of the industry If the
extra expense of such special
packing were eliminated and the
double nose bulbs were packed
along with the regular size
single nose bulbs.

Rotary-Lions
Raseball Due
The second annual Rotary-
Lions Club softball game has
b e e n set for this Friday (to
morrow) at 6 p. m. at the Rotary
Little League field.
Admiss.on to the contest will
be free but the action should be
exciting and fast ( ?) paced dur
ing the six inning game.
Names of starting pitchers for
both teams are being kept sec
ret, as well as line-ups. Team
managers feel that total surprise
may nave some effect on the
game's outcome.
In last year's contests Rotar
ians were judged champions af
ter two grueling games but Liens
members feel mis year that Ro
tarians may out-weight and out
age them enough to partially
balance the scales in the Friday
Battle.

Bill To Increase
Social Security
Fourth District Congress
man John Dellenback Joined 30
first-term Republican Con
gressmen in introducing legis
lation which would provide a
retroactive Increase in Social
Security benefits without In
creasing Social Security tax
rates.
Dellenback explained why the
bill he co-sponsored would not
require Increases in SS rates:
“ The Social Security Trust
Fund was large enough on Jan.
1, 1967, to finance an across-
the-board Increase, which is
needed to off-set the continuing
rise In the cost of living.”
The 31 sponsors of the bill
said that It was the respon
sibility of Congress to act swift
ly since the President failed to
sign priority legislation which
would permanently raise Social
Security benefits.
“ Twenty-two million Ameri
cans today depend on their So
cial Security payments to pro
vide for their dally needs. Each
day, continuing Inflation and
lack of White House leadership
combine to rob these Americans
on fixed incomes of their pur
chasing power.”
Sixty-three children w e re
killed In trsfflc accidents last
year, reminds the Oregon De
partment of Motor Vehicles.
And, the summer months always
mean more bicycle riders and
ball chasers on streets. Be pre
pared for the unpredictable ac
tions of children.

sible growth of membership and
the likelihood of forming ad

BLM Transfers
Indemnity
Governor Tom McCall an
nounced that the Bureau of Land
Management, United States De
partment of Interior, trans
ferred title to 8,193 acres of
public domain lands to the State
of Oregon, July 14.
Irving W. Anderson, BLM
lands chief, handed documents
to Gov. McCall transferring
the lands from the United States
to the State of Oregon under
laws governing state indemnity
land grant rights. Gov. McCall
signed the transfer documents
in Salem the day of the trans
fer.
“ The fulfillment of this state
hood school land grant repre
sents a welcome and valuable
addition to the timber holdings
of the State Land Board,” Mc
Call said. “ The board is greatly
indebted to former Governor
Hatfield fororiginating and pur
suing this application, and to the
BLM for ruling favorably on
the proposal.”
“It is estimated that the new
acreage will increase the an
nual allowable cut by 10 million
board feet, adding thousands of
dollars to the school fund each
year,” the governor pointed out.
“ The spirit in which the entire
application has been finally ap
proved demonstrates that state-
federal cooperation can be a
viable concept in the manage
ment of our basic natural re
sources.”
McCall said the lands trans
ferred are in western Oregon.
The State Forestry Depart
ment will continue BLM’s policy
to manage the lands on a sus
tained yield basis.
