Relations between the .school

of the high school. taut an
strained tor weeks PU ' yester
day came to a climax and a a re
sult, Joe King, stadent body pres
ident, has been virtually. denied
bis diploma on the eve ot grad
uation from the school.
The flare op came during the
final assembly of the year, when
King, presiding, spoke what was
on his mind after Principal Fred
Wolf had accused Joe and his se
cret society brothers ot ''throw
ing a party" to draw the new -high
school athletic manager in that
club. Wolf also accused the sta
dent council of withholding track
letters from two boys because
they "did not belong to the right
societies, or to none."
The regular student assembly
had about come to a close yester
day noon when. Wolf mounted the
platform to overrule the stadent
council and produce from his
pocket two track letters, which,
he said in the course of his plain
and straightforward talk, that he
was going to hare Hollis Hunt
ington, athletic coach, award them
to Kenneth Cannoy and Billy
Dyer.
The stadent council, which
passes on all recommendations
made by the coach for athletic
letters, had held earlier that the
two boys in question were not en
titled to the letters because they
had not made the number of
points required by the student
constitution.
Iack of Cooperation

Following Wolf's unlooked for
speech, Huntington took the plat
form, presented the letters and
delivered a 30-minute talk on the
trouble and dissension secret so
cieties had caused in the high
school athletic teams. The socie
ties have worked consistently to

TO STATE FOUGHT
Placing Areas in Forest
Service Control is Sub
stitute Plan
WASHINGTON, June 4 (AP)
Transfer of the remaining ' un
reserved public lands to the fed
eral forest serrice administration
instead of to the several states
was urged today before President
Hoover's public lands commission
by R. T. Stuart, chief of the ser
vice; C. E. Rachford, assistant
forest, branch of range manage
ment, and Representative French,
republican, Idaho.
Forest conservation and water
shed protection, necessary to the
future development of the 11
publie land states, were made the
chief claims to such an adminis
tration policy.
Arguments were made that a
central control such as has been
worked out by the forest service
would be of paramount impor
tance for the salvage of water sup
plies endangered by overgrazing
and also for forest protection.
The commission members from
the public Jands states suggested
several systems under which
transfer from the government to
the states might be effected. All
simmered to practically dollar and
cents considerations of how the
change could be arranged with
out loss of federal aid on forest
roads, without economic logs to
reclamation projects and without
interfering with completion of the
land survey. Large areas are still
unsuryeyed.

Oregon's "lost forest," a four-

the isolated Interior of . Lake

destruction.
Huge sand dunes, some of
them 40 feet high, which move
about 25 to 30 feet each year,
have reached the outskirts ot the
miniature forest and local resi

timber.
The "forest" is located In a semi-arid

gained its start Is a mystery.
