Truman Asks Fund for O&C Improvement Federal funds to improve the O&C timber management pro gram In western Oregon have been requested from congress by Presi dent Harry Truman. Daniel L. Goldy, regional ad ministrator of the bureau of land management, said this week the president's budget asks $1,000,000 for new road construction in the fiscal year 1951. He said the O & C program called for construction of approximately 400 miles of timber access roads to tap an estimated 8 billion feet of old growth timber which currently is inaccessible. It is estimated that proposed roads will open up timber worth nearly $20,000,000. Funds requested by Truman also will enable the burea to institute a reforestation program. Not since operation of CCC camps has the bureau had funds for bringing Into production a large acreage of burned over or logged land. Goldy estimated the government loses $750,000 yearly in potential revenues because these lands are not used. The budget also requests funds to advertise an estimated 500,000, 000 board feet of timber during 1951. It is predicteed the value of this timber will -run to $4,500, 000. Also provided In the budget are funds for a substantial Inventory of O tc C timber and private for est lands. Other phases of the O & C pro gram recognized in the budget are such activities as management planning, issuance of special land use permits, trespass investiga tions, administration of grazing on O&C lands, processing of right-of-way and administration of min eral resources.

Ilhrhtower WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 -AJPy- The United States will break dip lomatic relations with communist Bulgaria unless that Russian satellite abandons its demand for removal of American Minister Donald R. Heath. The state department so warned the Bulgarian government to day in a stiff note which also called for better treatment of American diplomats and legation employees in Bulgaria. There was little belief among officials that the American de mands would be satisfied. The prospect today was that relations between Washington and Sofia would shortly be severed al though the next move is up to Bulgaria. The- note, released by the state department, sets, a pattern for possible future dealings with other red regimes in! eastern Europe. In effect it puts them on notice they also face the threat of a rupture In relations unless they live up to "minimum standards" in their dealings with this country. Note Hardly Ultima turn Diplomatic officials said the note could hardly be considered an ultimatum. For one thing it contained no time limit by which the Bulgarian government should meet the American demands. Like an ultimatum, however, it laid down two unconditional demands and told the Bulgarian government in no uncertain terms what would happen if they were not met The Bulgarian legation here had delivered a note to the state de partment yesterday requesting Heath's recall. A long series of charges had been made against him in connection with political trials held by the communists and particularly the recent trial of Coplon-Gubitchev Trial to Start Tuesday, Federal Judge Rules NEW YORK, Jan.. 20 -(JP) Little Judith Coplon and her stolid Russian ex-friend Valentin A. Gubitchev today lost their long-drawn-out fight to escape trial on spy conspiracy charges. Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan order the trial to begin next Tuesday. He ruled that the FBI's wire-tapping in the case was illegal, as the defense charged. But otner prool tnat legally can be used. The ruling climaxed six weeks of hearings in which the ex-government girl and the Soviet en gineer, who is suspended from his United Nations job. called scores of witnesses in an effort to get the r charges against them dismissed. "Only Beginning" Archibald Palmer, Miss Coploh's lawyer, announced immediately that his fight was only beginning. He issued a six-page document entitled "My Credo" which reaf firmed his faith in Miss Coplon's innocence and declared: "I will. aY mynnTtoSe 1 y". It i s . . . people of the United States.' Ryan, in his decision, denied a number of defense motions. The most important was a contention that the government got all its evi dence through illegal wire-tapping and that this evidence cannot be used in a federal court Former Baas in FBI Ryan said much of the govern ment's non-wire-tap avidenct rests on the testimony of William X. Foley, Miss Coplon's former boss in the foreign agents regis tration section of the justice de partment It is for a jury to decide, the udge said, whether Foley Is tell ing the truth. Foley testified during the hear ings that he told the FBI of Miss Coplon's plans to meet Gubitchev in New York, where the two were arrested after a frantic chase last March 4.

TOtally TJmfaanded t The reply to the recall request which the United States made to day, called the Bulgarian charges "wholly unfounded, as the Bul garian government itself is fully aware.' Moreover, the American note continued: The Bulgarian government has over a period of two years increas ingly subjected the legation to a series of indignities and restric tions which have now made It virtually impossible for the lega tion to perform its normal diplo matic and consular functions. "In addition to crippling restric tions on the entry and movement of United States officials aligned to the legation, the Bulgarian gov ernment hat pursued' a campaign of persecution against the lega tion's Bulgarian employees whose only crime has been their associa tion with the legation. This campaign has resulted in the execution of two such employ es, the death of a third after mal treatment by the police, and the arrest and torture of others. AH of these employees were engaged only in such routine duties as is accepted as normal practice in dip lomatic missions throughout the civilized world." he held that the government has FBI learned of Miss Coplon's plans by tapping her phone wires. 8hspire Witness Ryan ruled also that Harold P. Shapiro, the Justice department lawyer with whom Miss Coplon admittedly spent two nights In hotels last January, may be called as a witness in the trial "if it is deemed necessary." Miss Coplon has denied any intimacies with Shapiro. Shapiro did not testify In Miss Coplon's previous trial, which re sulted in her conviction on charges of stealing secret government ESS? She was sentenced to 40 months to 10 years but Is free In bail pending appeal A petite, Brooklyn-born bru nette, the 28-year-old Miss Coplon now must be tried along with Gubitchev on charges of conspir ing; to steal the secret papers.
