America-Canada Air Defense Pact Asked by A-Energy Chief NEW YORK Rep. W. Ster ling Cole (R-NY), asserting the So viets soon could launch a "satura tion attack against our nation." called Thursday night for an American-Canadian air defense pact to hasten the erection of outflung de fenses. Cole, chairman of the Senate House Atomic Energy Committee, said American scientists "have de vised radical new weapons and electronics devices." including alomic warheads, which promise "hitherto unattainable degrees of success" in intercepting e.nemy planes. Bu;. he adf'd in a speech at a Colgate University banquet that adequate defense depends upon correlation of weapons and suffi cient warning time Defense Interdependent Cole said Canada's defense is in terdependent with that of the Unit ed States and he proposed: "That our government, as speed ily as possible, enter into a mutual continental defence pact with Can ada, under the authority of the United Nations, comparable in pur pose, scope and organization with the North Atlantic Treaty Organi zation (NATO' " He said this should create a North American continental de fense organization, under a su preme commander, with American and Canadian land, sea and air forces assigned to it. Threat Faced Conceding that such a North American defense organization would be "radical and unprece dented." Cole said it would be no more so "than the threat we now face from the Soviet Union." "I submit that all other consid erations notwithstanding, it would he suicidal for Canada and the United States not to recognize the new . dimensions to sovereignty brought by the threat of atomic and hyrlrogen warfare." he said. Cole said it might be debatable whether the Soviets "could now mount an attack of such intensity and scope that oW ability to retal iate would be eliminated," but he added: Saturation Attack "Three or four years from now, the Soviets will be able to launch a saturation attack against our Na tion an attack so massive that our ability ultimately to prevail may be open to grave question. "Were an attack to occur this week, or this year, we would have no effective way of repelling it." A 100 per cent defense against assault is impossible. Cole said, but: "It is. within our capacity, to in flict such losses on raiding forma tions that an enemy will in all probability be dissuaded from cast ing the tide for intercontinental atomic war and be kept from deal ing us a mortal blow even if he does." Since 1950 American scientists, including some who developed the atomic bomb, have "made a ser ies of discoveries which promise to revolutionize the science of mili tary' defense as much as nuclear bombs have revolutionized offen sive warfare," Cole said. He mentioned guided missiles, new high performance rocket - car rying jei interceptors and ""small scale atomic weapons specifically designed for the interception of enemy aircraft."

Williamson REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST EYES EXAMINED EVENINGS ONLY 614 Liveslev BIdg. Ph. 4-6251 No one has as yet come for ward with the claim that he has actually seen a Douglas fir tree grow. But, this is not outside the realm of possibility. Young, growing trees of this species average 6 inches a month in height growth from May through August or 2 feet a grow ing season, according to W. D. Hagenstein, managing director of the Industrial Forestry Associa tion. Some trees in rain-favored areas like the Oregon and Wash ington coastal counties have made a measured gain of as much as six feet in a single growing season. West of the Cascade mountain range in the two states are more than 12 million acres of new for ests, Hagenstein observed, which are pushing upward toward the sun at an amazing rate. At the same time, he said, these same young trees are growing in diam eter from a quarter inch to an inch a year. Grows Straight, Tall "It is the rapid increase in height," the forester stated, "which gives this species one ot its great values. The Douglas fir tree, while stretching upward to keep its needles exposed to sun light, grows straight as well as tall." i "These tall, straight and slim trees," he stated, "supply man j with many of his needs. Douglas ; fir piling, spars and poles, some as tall as 150 feet, are in demand around the world for docks, wharfs, utility poles, whip spars ?nd masts, keel timbers, dredge spuds and many other uses. This ; wood js strong and tough and when sawed into long timbers has great structural strength. Shorter lengths of fir are glued together into arches and trusses which n.ay span an area over 200 feet; wide without supporting posts for the strength of the wood is built into the fibre by nature." Present-day forest management, as practiced on West Coast tree farms, Hagenstein said, will in- j sure a continuing supply of these , valuable long-length trees as long ! as there are people to use them t Forests Protected He cited several tree farm de velopments which help guaran tee continuing crops of trees. Better forest fire protection has greatly reduced the number of m a n-c a u s e d forest fires and sharply cut the area burned, has been of untold importance in pro tecting young timber. Intensive . i . , - . i tree planting ana uireci seeding j by private lorest owners ana gov ernment agencies in recent years to put non-stocked areas into new forests brings the region closer to a full timber crop. He said modern logging meth ods, tied closely tn good forest Oppenheimer Work Praised By President WASHINGTON JPi President Eisenhower expressed respect and admiration Thursday for what he called the very great professional attainments of J. Robert Oppen heimer. the scientist who has been suspended as an adviser to the Atomic Energy Commission pend ing a security check. The President was asked at his news conference whether the Op penheimer case was reopened as a routine application of the govern ment's new security order or be cause there was some new infor mation. Eisenhoweer replied that bfe was a case which, because of its character, seemed to him should be handled only in accordance with the processes that have been laid down by scientists and others in the most delicate and sensitive subject of scientific research in the government. Oppenheimer helped direct the building of the first American atom bomb. The President commented that he had the greatest admiration for all scientific men and is keenly aware of the debt America owes them. He referred to evidence in the Oppenheimer case and then cor rected himself. He said emphatically he wanted to change the word evidence to al legations that because of allega tions it seemed that the only thing to do was to assemble the kind of investigating board that had been agreed upon in the past, and that he secured the services of one of the firest Americans he knows to head it. This was a reference to Gordon Gray, president of the University of North Carolina and former Sec retary of the Army, who was ap pointed chairman of the three-man inquiry board. The board has been working in the utmost secrecy since Oppenheimer's suspension was announced April 13 Until the board has reached a conclusion, Eisenhower said, he is not going to comment further. Then, expressing his admiration for Oppenheimer's scientific attain ments, he said that this is the kind of thing that must be gone through with, and he thought it best that it no be talked about too much until it is known that answers there may be. practices, insure rapid natural re- growth from solid seed blocks left next to harvested areas. An other end product of modern ma chinery which is good for forest ry, he said, is the effect of pow er logging.
