Adlai Guest
Of Truman at
-
White House
WASHINGTON Iff) Gov. Adlai
Stevenson came to Washington
Wednesday night to "discuss the
Democrat c party" with President
Truman.
That was about all the defeated
presidential nominee would say
about plans for his two nights and
full day as a White House guest,
but there appeared no doubt that
the big subject for talks with Tru
man and other pa-ty bigwigs was
planning for a Democratic come
back. Flying in from Atlantic City
where he had attended memorial
services for Philip Murray, , late
president of the CIO and one of his
staunchest supporters in the recant
campaign, Stevenson's commercial
plane was about an hour late. .
A crowd of some 200, largely
made up of women and children,
waited that hour in dark, chilly
weather to shout a greeting. There
was a chant of "we want Adlai"
when the plane landed. Some shout
ed "Stevenson in 56" and there
were banners reading "retrieve
with Steve."
Stevenson, who has had little to
say about his own plans since he
lost the election to Republican
Dwight D. Eisenhower, left the
welcoming group guessing. As he
boarded a Whit House car on the
.way to the executive mansion he
'told them:
"I have ' only this to say aside
from my gratitude. I'm not com
ing back for four years." There
was no elaboration to clear up
whether he meant he was pulling
out of national capital affairs for
that long, which would suggest an
inactive political role for the pres
ent. Basin Project
Board to Meet
The Willamette -Basin project
meeting, Dec. 17, In room 309,
State Capitol building. Much of
the day's program will center
around irrigation and drainage
development in the valley.

ernor Douglas McKay, Col. T. H.

Reforestation
Classification
For Land Near
Approximately 2,200 acres of
Marion County land were tenta
tively approved by the State For
estry, Department Friday as ready
to be classified as reforestation
lands under the Oregon forest fee
and yield tax law.
The step was taken at a public
hearing for owners of the 2,707
acres originally considered for the
new classification. The : hearing
was held Friday afternoon in the
Marion County courthouse.
Only one land owner, St. Bene
dict's Abbey at Mt. Angel was
represented at the hearing. Sev
eral hundred acres of the abbey's
land is affected by the new classi
fication. The forestry department's ac
tion Friday is contingent upcn
approval of the State Board of
Forestry and the Oregon Tax
Commission.
Lands classified as reforestation
lands are removed from the ad
valorem tax roll of the county and
placed on a special tax whereby
the owner pays a 5 cents per acre
per year forest fee.
At the time the timber crop is
harvested a 12 per cent yield
tax, based on the stumpage value
of the timber, is made, thus de
ferring the bulk of the tax burden
to a time when the landowner is
better able to pay.
Purpose of the new law is to en
courage more timber harvesting
in Oregon and to encourage land
owners to let their timber grow
to a better harvest period.

4.6 cans of food per person. Ore

company has pioneered in the de

made a large scale American can

life in the United States a 'tin-can
civilization,' the Russians since
the end of World War II have
quadrupled their production of
