Secretary Wallace Advo
cates National Policy to

FACING FIFTY LEAN
YEARS IS ASSERTION
Reforestation Said to Be
Final Problem With
Paper Industry.
WASHINGTON, March 7. A
national policy to conserve and
develop American timber supplies
was urged today, by: Secretary
Waljlace of the department of ag
riculture and Hugh B.'Baker, exe
cutive secretary of the American
Paper and Pulp association In
opening bearings of the special
senate committee on reforesta
tions.
Witnesses will be heard here by
the committee during the next
few days and next month it will
begin a tour of virtually all tim
Der regions of the country to
make exhaustive investigations
preliminary to recommendations
to congress.
The day of self-sustaining sup
plies of lumber have passed in the
United States, the committee was
told by Secretary Wallace, who
declared that a scientific and eco
nomic of conservation and refores
tation must be prosecuted.
Fire Protection Urged
Eire protection and reduced
taxes to stimulate forestry devel
opment were the principal meas
ures proposed by the secretary
and Mr. Baker. Mr. Wallace also
suggested federal acquisition : and
development of a large part of
the existing 81,000.000 acres of
barren cut-over timber lands.
uotn witnesses toaay urged co
operation between the federal
government, the states,' munici
palities, . timber wners and . con
sumers of wood products toward
conservation and production of
timber. Secretary Wallace said it
was unconstitutional to attempt
government control of private
timber cutting,' but- that this
should be dove by the states, "to
give a reasonable form of public
control." , .;
Pacing; Lean Years
With an annual consumption of
seven million tons of paper annu
ally , with an embargo on pulp
wood threatened in Canada and
with , constantly decreasing do
mestlb supplies, Mr. Baker told
the committee that . reorestation
was a final problem to the paper
industry. ' , ' , ; '
"We feel that we are facing 60
lean years," he said, 'declaring
that -planting of trees on unused
lands east of the Mississippi and

Mrs! Paillette Saludes Makes
Three Attempts to Bring
Own Life to CloseV
NEW YORK, March 7. Mrs.
Paulette Saludes,! the second
woman to be convicted of mur
der in, this city within three
weeks, made three unsuccessful
attempts at suicide tonight.
Found guilty of killing Oscar'
Martelliere, an insurance- agent
who, she said, had wronged her.
Mrs. Saludes was . being led
across the Bridge of Sighs when
she swallowed poison, then trled
to slash her throat with;"the. lid
ot: a small tin box and--finally
attempted to dash her brains out
kgainst the walls of her, cell in
the Tombs.
I Makes Many Atternpts
f The jury composed of men of
'super-intelligence and admon
ished to find a verdict , with
their heaiV !instead: of their I
hearts, found Mrs. Saludes
puilty of second degree murder,
which carries a prison sentence
of 20 years to life. Less than
three weeks ago a jury in Brook
lyn returned a similar verdict
against Mrs. Lillian Rai&"n for
the slaying of Dr. Abraham'
Glickstein.
Mrs. Saludes shot Martelliere
October 16 and on that day, was
pievented from ending her lire
when she attempted to leap from
a window in her attorney's of
fice. . The theory was set ' forth to
night by some prison, officials
that the woman had decided to
end her life rather than tell
all the facts concerning her Hie
.which wfll.be' necessary when
-kia is sentenced to orison. Lit-
tie is ' known of her history.

doctor to come to bis house where
his little girl was 111. Dr. Bray

Rialto theater and the latter at
once drove out to the Hill resi
dence. Hill followed in his own
car and picked up Attorney Geo.
Codding, now chief deputy in the
state corporation commissioner's
office at Salem, en route, he said.

night of the, "hanging" .he was
at home with his wife and daugh
ter and William Offutt, Jr., and
that a contract between him and
Offutt had been agreed to that
evening.' The contract was intro
duced as evidence. Hittson said
Offutt left about 11 o'clock. -
Hale in his testimony for the
state, not only had positively
identified Hittson as one of his
captors but based his opinions on
voice and general , appearance.
Hale also told of a deal pending
for an automobile which was con
firmed by Hittson, who said his
relations with Hale had always
been friendly.
