Tne former Oregon governor and Salem businessman a talk before Salem Chamber of Com merce at noon summarized inter ior department developments of the past two years and denied that they indicate a -"give-away policy. "Our political opponents pro claim that any transfer to any in dividual of any right to lease, de velop or acquire any of this prop erty, even though it may be in compliance with federal laws, is a give-away," McKay declared. Complete Stagnation' The only alternatives to his policy, he continued, would be1 to let the land remain undeveloped in a state of '"complete stagna tion": or to let the government develop it and have "collectiv ism and pure socialism." . McKay said his power partner ship policy already is paying off. Non-federal untilities propose to develop 35 new hydro-electric pro jects in the Pacific Northwest. He promised that the federal government "will continue to meet its responsibility in the con struction of large multipurpose projects which are beyond the means of local, public or private enterprise." , Big Oil Returns 1 Leases of federal oil lands in the Gulf of Mexico, he said, will net the government at least six billion dollars. He cited this as an example of his partnership program. Another achievement two-year-old declared, has ernment-owned Alaska Railroad on a paying basis. This railroad, he said, made a $730,000 profit in the year ended last June 30, and rates were re- duced and service was improved. McKay said the railroad lost $750,000 in the year ended June 30, 1953. i McKay declared that drastic measures have been taken to con- serve Alaska's fishing industry, with many streams being closed to purse seining. He predicted these measures would pay off around 1956 by in- creasea saimon runs. , By the end of 1955, he said, every child on the Navajo Indian reservation will be in school be- cause of new schools built at his direction. Two years ago, he said, half of the 28,000 Navajo chit oren naa never been to school. 92" Y -" " I " vv.--- aV I i Z 1 .... 'j - v r., - - t ' ii " - fin' -t-- . i 41 School Board To Vote on .-;-.

LB The manager of the Johnstown-Cambria County Muncipal Airport said Mon day a chartered DC-3 airliner could have landed there last Wednesday night rather than con tinuing to Pittsburgh on an ill-fated flight that claimed 10 lives. The manager, William N. Luth er, told a newsman Monday: i ine airpon onerea itseu as a haven in need last week, but it wasn't used." ' - . The Johnson Airlines plane, car rying 23 servicemen and 5 crew men on a non-scheduled flight to the West Coast, ran out of gaso line just short of the Allegheny County Airport and glided to an emergency landing on the Monon gahela River. , Fourteen of the servicemen and four crewmen swam to shore. The pilot and the' nine other service men drowned. The airline's chie. pilot, William II. Lockwood, listed what he said may have been the three primary causes tor tne plane failing to complete the Newark, N. J to nttsDurgn leg of its flight Those causes, Lockwood said. : were, 40 to 60 mUe-an-hour head winds, atmospheric conditions, and no personnel to turn on lights at the Johnstown airport. In taking issue with the latter statement. Luther Monday, said "Since last April runway lights at the Johnstown airport have been lit every night from sundown to sunrise. . . "All landing facilities were in proper operation at the. time the crash occurred." In Pittsburgh, an official of the Civil Aeronautics Administration said that before the DC-3 crashed. the pilot had radioed the Pitts burgh airport's control tower to ask that lights be turned on at the Johnstown airport. - The CAA spokesman said the tower tried "for more than five - minutes to do so, but could i not contact the Airport by phone.

Polk County Milk Contest By LILLTE L.: MADSEH FarnY Editor, The Statesman INDEPENDENCE A s I x- year-old grade Holstein, owned by Frank Krsuger of Indep n dence.-was top cow In Polk Coun ty Dairy Herd Improvement As sociation testing program during the past month, f She produced 16,856 pounds 'of milk vnth 615.8 pounds of butterfat completing a 305 day lactation period dur ing the month, it The second high cow was also here, a seven-year-old registered Jersey, owned by Walter Lier- man, which produced 9.9S3 pounds ot milk -with 601.4 pounds of butterfat jj Another Jersey, five years old, and owned by the Ed Pyritzes of Dallas, came in for third place, producing more milk but not so much butterfat Her record was 12,221 pounds of milk and 552.6 pounds of butterfat ' f A 'total of 1,065 cows were in cluded in the Polk County test ing program during the past month. Twenty herds, which in cluded 717 cows, produced an average of '582 pounds of milk with 29.2 pounds of butterfat for the 30 day period. Fifteen herds on the owner-sampler program, Included 348 cows which pro duced an average of 542 pounds of milk with 212 pounds of but terfat Because of low production, 42 cows were culled from the mem bers' herds during the month. This is one of the purposes of the testing program. By follow ing the records on each cow. the dairyman is able to cull out from his herd those that are so low producers that they fail to make a profit for their operator. Dairymen point out that whether a cow produces little or much milk and butterfat she usually e?ts almost the same amount of feed. !! Considerable interest in the testing programs is now being shown by 4-H Club members. Cheryl Stevens of Amity, bought a Jersey heifer calf from Marvin Jenkins of RickrealL and Jean Dixon bought a Jersey from Wal ter Lierman of Independence, both of the "dairymen are mem bers of the DHIA program in Polk County, and the youngsters report they have been watching the production records in order to get high production cattle. ft MAR, 22 JAMt JC ITV0.13-20.M M 48-57-82-83 About one out of every 143 XT.
