If you look up authorities you get different answers. The Blue Book (and most reference books) give the area as 96,981 sq. mi. of which 631 sq. mi. are water sur face. But the book on the Physi cal and Economic Geography of Oregon put out by the state sys tem of higher education in 1940 gives the area as 95,607 sq. mi. This book also gives two different figures for the height of Mt. Hood, 11,240 (p. 41) and 11,253 (p. 293). The Blue Book uses 11,245 which Is the one given on the '44 Topog. of the geological survey. Crater lake's altitude is reported at 6, 17.7 ft. above sea level in 1908 by the geological survey but a later report (1946) gives it as 6,160. The variations are doubtless due to difference in readings made by the observers or to changes in conditions for instance the level of Crater lake may not be con stant And of course the differ ence of a few feet either way is of no consequence.

He is expected to take : issue with defense views set forth last week by former President Herbert Hoover. ' Gabrielson tonight issued this statement: "The implications of a state de partment announcement yesterday (tnat Dulles will speak) , have prompted inquiries from the press, radio, members of congress, and the general public whether the address . . . will reflect the pol ides of the republican party. -"My reply to these inquiries is that a check shows that Mr. Dul les has not consulted with the of ficial republican leaders of con gress, nor with the republican na tional committee, on the contents of his address. "To the best of my knowledge, therefore, he will speak either as an individual citizen or as an ad visor to the secretary of state. State department officials told reporters yesterday . that 1 Dulles would "urge continuation of the present sound policies of collective security which will not involve our retreat into an area defense of our continent." The implication was that Dul les will challenge Hoover's plea for concentrating American mil itary ptwer on protection of this hemisphere.

S. economy in preparation for the big defense drive. These major actions were taken: L The federal reserve board ordered banks in the federal re serve system to tuck $2,000,000, 000 more of their deposits away in reserves. That sum can't be lent out to people to buy auto mobiles, washing machines, etc. or to iinance dus in esses. 2. The national prvdactian au thority decreed that hereafter the U. S. government will be the sole importer and distributor of na tural rubber. That puts the gov ernment m virtually complete control of all rubber, because it already had command of synthe tic. The aim is to see that the rubber is used "most advantageos- ly to the national defense." 3. Hoarding of 55 essential ma terials, including steel and lum ber, was forbidden by the national production authority. This affects husiness men, mostly. The list contains few items likely to be squirreled away by householders Price Stabilizer Michael DW Salle announced with gratifica tion tonight that one of the largest makers of farm and industrial equipment International Har vester Cor has agreed to a voluntary rollback to Dec. 1 levels At the same time the company asked DiSalle for a hearing "in order to present compelling data making price increases necessary, Though the amount of bank de posits "frozen" was $2,000,000,000 the federal reserve board said the order would actually choke off possible $12,000,000,000 increase in bank loans. This is because banks could have lent the $2 bil lion, not once, but over and over agam. . Essential to Production The goods affected by the anti hoarding order are all essential to defense and civilian produc tion, and all are in varying de grees of scarcity. Under pain of a possible year's imprisonment and $10,000 fine, it becomes illegal to accumulate an amount of the 55 listed items in excess of "reasonable demands." The order covers the following general categories of materials Building materials Cast iron soil pipe and pressure pipe; gyp sum board, lath and sheathing insulation material made of duId insulation board which contains paper; Portland cement Lumber products Softwood and hardwood lumber (except nardwood flooring, railroad ties and mine ties) ; softwood plywood woodpuip.

Miscellaneous Hog bristles. Last Remnants Total Under 100 Millions HONG KONG. Friday Dw. 29- Urt-ine Chinese communist re gime Thursday ordered immediate seizure of all United States prop erty and all private and commer cial American bank deposits in red cmna. (In Washington, a top commerce department official estimated to- lght that all American Drooertr newly seized in red China would total "considerably less than $100.- 000,000." (This official, who asked not to be named, said most U. S. prop erty in China was seized when the communist regime took over and little was left to be "liquidat ed" under today's order by the communist government. (He said the reds have gradually been squeezing out American property holdings by insisting on his dismisal pay for Chinese em ployes of U. S. companies and other devices calculated to reduce their value.) Claim Retaliation Premier-Foreign Minister Chou En -Lai, who announced the action. said it was in retaliation for sim ilar American action Dec 16 on Chinese red assets in the United States. The Chinese action was nnnotir ced in a Peiping broadcast heard in Hong Kong this morning. It directed "local people's gov ernments' throughout red China to make immediate inventories of all American properties, but said American firms in China and Americans living in the country would be allowed to draw from local bank accounts enough funds for .their living expenses and to maintain . lawful merchants.' Amounts of such withdrawals "will be regulated by a separate order," the announcement stated. Announcement Net Clear The announcement did not make clear whether the forthcoming separate order" would be a gen eral ruling on all American assets or would deal with each case sep arately. First reaction in Hong Kong was that the property seizure would be of prime importance, and per haps would drive out of China al together missionary establish ments, the big three oil companies and the American - financed Shanghai utilities company. The three major oil companies which have been represented in China arCaltex, a subsidiary of standard or. California and the Texas company; Standard Vac uum, a subsidiary of Standard of New Jersey and Socony Vadium; and the Shell Oil company. Seizure also apparently means that the Peiping regime is taking over the extensive U. S. embassy properties which have been under the care of British diplomats.

This was an increase of 1.804 over the total announced one week before.

Expect 24 Di listen With the armed forces building toward a manpower total of soma 3.500,000 as rapidly as possible, the army expects a combat strength equivalent to 24 divisions when its current expansion goal Is reached next July 1. The defense department uses a figure involving only 18 divisions, but an official explained in an swer to questions that regimental combat teams will make up the difference in combat strength. A regimental team, usually about 3,000 men. Is a small division which may contain Infantry, artil lery or armor In amounts depend ing on what It Is assigned to do. T Farm Armored Unit An infantry division of 18,000 men is a fighting unit, self con tained, with supporting weapons such as tanks and artillery. When fighting started the army had 10 divisions, together with four national guard divisions and two guard regimental combat teams called into the federal ser vice. Two more guard divisions go on active duty next month. The army will form another regular division in spring or early summer. It will be an armored unit.
