I Receipts from sales of timber
from O it C lands last fiscal year
ran to $4 million. This year they
are expected to reach $6 million
and next year perhaps to $8 mil
. lion. This is good news for coun
ties in western Oregon which get
50 Der cent of the receipts.
fITnHfr the act of 1937 the share !
of the counties is to go to 75 per
cent when- the advances made by
the federal treasury to reimburse
the counties for back taxes are
paid back. That will be next year.
But judging by reports from
Washington, the congress takes a
dim view of any 75 per- cent of
gross income from these lands as
the share for counties. The orig
inal appeal was for revenue to
compensate the counties for loss
of property taxes when the , rail
road land grant reverted back to
the government With current in
come what it is, that tax equiva
lent is exceeded.
Under the 1937 act for the en
actment of which much credit was
due to , Congressman James W.
Mott and Senator Charles L. Mc
Nary, a maximum or 25 per cent
of income, was to be made avail
able for . administration - of the
lands. Congress, has never been
so generous; as a result the bureau
of land management lacks funds
for the proper administration of
its trust . '''..'
It looks as though the 1937 law
will be up for reconsideration
soon. The counties naturally would
like to ! get - 75 per cent of the
revenues; and they are favorable
to adequate provision for admin
istrative expenses and capital im
provements in the way -of access
roads, reforestation, etc. The bu
reau office at Portland has sug
gested . an arrangement whereby
a limited share of revenues would
be ..assured for . administrative
. costs and improvements and that
50 per cent of the remainder go
, to the counties, save that the
..county share would be on a mov
ing five-year ,

Succumbs
To Give Notice
Of Price Hikes
WASHINGTON, .-Dec. 20 -(J?)
The government asked 250 large
companies outside the auto indus
try tonight to give it at least
seven days' advance notice before
raising prices on any major pro
ducts. If the companies comply with
this request it will give the gov
ernment a chance to study pro
posed price hikes and to ask or
order their abandonment in cases
where officials- decide the in
creases would be unjustified.
' Alan Valentine, administrator
. of the economic stabilization ag
ency, telegraphed the business
-firms, a request for such advance
notice of price increases on any
line in which they do an annual
business of $300,000 or more.
His telegram said the informa
tion is desired "to help our ef
forts to combat inflation."
At the same time, top labor
leaders called on President Tru
man today for strong controls
' over the cost of living and said
wages should be permitted to
catch up with rising prices.
"Wage stabilization must not
become wage freezing," the group
- declared.
Murphy was appointed county
judge by Gov. Charles A. Sprague
in May of 1941 after the death of
Judge Leroy Hewlett He was re
elected for six-year terms in 1942
and 1948.
Murphy, organizer and operat
or of the Murphy-Gardner lumber
company at Stayton from 1918 to
1942, was a former republican
state, county and precinct com
mitteeman, a state officer and 40
year member of the Odd Fellows
and held mayor, council and
school board posts in Stayton.
Aided Development
During his terms as county
judge. Murphy was instrumental
in completion of the new Willam
ette river bridge at Independence,
a program of road oiling and
building of two new ferries:
In addition, plans were begun
and arc nearly completed for a
new courthouse, with most of the
funds raised, final phases z ta
lem-Silverton road improvement
are underway and work has start
ed on the Mehama-Mill City link
of the North Santiam highway,
for which the judge long was a
booster.
He also was deeply interested
in the Willamette valley project
highlighted by the Detroit dam,
in the proposed Cascade highway
and had asked for speeded fed
eral aid for South River Toad to
the new Independence bridge.
McKay to Appoint
Murphy s successor as county
Judge will be appointed, under
Oregon law, byGov. Douglas Mc
Kay. The appointment would be
for the duration- or the judge';
term, through Dec. 31, 1954
Prior to the appointment, the
two county commissioners who,
with the judge, comprise the Mar
ion county court, can transact
most official business. In some
cases where responsibilities are
delegated specifically to the coun
ty judge, law provides for tem
porary fulfillment of those re
sponsibilities by a circuit Judge of
the county.
Services in Stayton
Funeral services for Judge Mur
phy will be arranged by the Wed

PORTLAND, Dec. 2HP-A
state highway commissioner to
day called for faster department
planning for a $4,000,000 Pacific
highway Salem by-pass. No funds
have yet been allocated for the
project
Commissioner Charles Reynolds,
LaGrande, said the people living
north and south of Salem should
not be subjected to bottlenecks
of Salem traffic and be forced to
fcope with the city's planned one
way traffic system.
Faster action on the project was
proposed after State Highway En
gineer R. H. Baldock suggested
the commission buy off-s t r e e t
parking space in Salem's Holly
wood district to clear cars from
the highway within the north city
limits.
Doubt Authority
Reynolds and Chief Counsel Jos
eph M. Devers said they doubted
mat tne commission had authority
to buy off-street parking land.
iiaiaocK was instructed by the
commission to go ahead under the
original agreement with the city.
It provides that the route to
Portland be widened and prohibits
panting in some places to provide
four lanes of traffic. The city will
provide some off-street Darking.
BaiaocK said the area Is one of
tne most congested in the United
States. Cost of widening the high
way was estimated by Baldock at
about $65,000.
Use of Snmmer Street
The approval plan also calls for
use of Summer street for south
bound traffic entering Salem, in
the one-way street setup.
The proposed by -pass would
take Pacific highway through traf-
uc around the city's east limits
and connect with the highway
aooui live miles south of the city,
Contract Awarded
The commission awarded a con
tract for approaches to the Mar
ion street bridge across the Wi1.
lamette river. It went to General
Construction Co.. Portland, with a
low bid of $787,736, within $1,500
of engineer" estimates. The project
includes work from Commercial
street to the water on the Salem
side and for 1,000 feet on the west
baiem side.

REED SPORT, Dec. 20--Three
quarry workers were buried un

day and a fourth man died later

that the men undej the rock could
survive.
Two escaped a similar fate by
clinging tenaciously to a small
ledge 230 reet above the quarry
floor when a premature explosion
of blasting powder collapsed one
wall. One other worker was in
jured.

themselves, Sam Knight of Lake

Still Underway New 'Halt-Fire'
IfH Appeal Sent
To China Reds
Christmas shopping kept
rapid tempo in all the
districts of Salem last night.
tnere also was a continuous pa
rade of cars through many of the
nicely-decorated residential areas.
Decorations of the season were
reaching full bloom in all parts of
the city,
Many fine Christmas windows
drew marked attention.
Among the finer non-commer
cial displays were the corner win
dow or bears Roebuck where a
scene of the Nativity, with hush
ed lights and a camel-caravan
background, attracted scores of
people, and the center window of
Bishop's store on North Liberty
with its lighted church-commun

week s Santa Claus.
"Have you got your Christmas
shopping done," was the cheery
Christmas greeting throughout the
business areas. The array of par
cels carried by many a pedestrian
man or another dollar on their shores. Otherwise we shall be inviting
another Korea. That would be a calamity to Europe as well aa to a."
Says U. N. Forces in Korea Beaten
The United Nations have been defeated la Korea, he said, bv tSe
aggression of communist China, and there are no world forces ade
quate to repel the Chinese.
Hoover's pronouncement came only a day after President Tra.
man pledged more American troops would be sect to Europe te s44
tne west European defense set-up headed by American Cen. Dwigfcs
D. Eisenhower.
Hoover called for arming the United States nary and air forv "le
the teeth" to bold the two oceans, with possibly one frontier oo BriV
aln and the other on Japan, Formosa and the Fhlllppines. '
Hoover said that, after the Initial outlay to strengthen the awry
and sir force, attention could be turned to redacts, ejpeoditurte,
balancing the budget and avoiding Inflation.
Hoover said be spoke in response to hundreds of rtqueati" That
he appraise "the current situation." Ills office said actually
and" of such requests had been received.
lWe Could Never Reach Moscow'
Me said that, even If western Europe armed beyond
contemplated, "we could never reach Moscow." but that neither
communist armies reach Washington in force.
In declaring the communist armies could not reach the Atortirasi
capital. Hoover said:
"In this military connection we must realise the fart that the at
omic bomb is a far less dominant weapon than tt was one theaagrrl
to be.-
He did not elaborate.
"These policies I have suggested would be no isolationism." Hoe-
ver said. "Indeed they are the opposite. They would avoid rastt in
volvement of our military forces in hopeless campaigns.
"we are not blind to the need to preserve western d miration oa
th continent of Europe or to our cultural and religious ties to it- But
the prime obligation of defense of western continental Europe vests
upon the nations of Europe. The test is wnemer oey nave tne sarn
ual force, the will and acceptance of unity among them by their ova

them with money."
