0 former Sen. Marsh v Considers Entering Congressional Race . (Story also on page 1.1 Former State Sen. Eugene Marsh Counted himself back into consid erajion as Republican candidate for Congress Wednesday and de nied he had ever assured anvone he would not seek the Republican nomination. The McMinnville and Salem at torney who was president of the Senate for the 19JJ session said he would probably come to a de cision on whether to enter the 1st Congressional District race today r Friday. He said the decision Official Denies Indian Timber Prices Low WASHINGTON iB - The chief day afternoon. If Marsh decides of the Indian Bureau's forestry j against running Steelhammer indi branch said Wednesday it is a ' cated he would probably be a can "well considered opinion that ! didate. prices obtained from the sale of! Steelhammer said he felt the Indian timber compare favorably" with those received for other tim ber. The witness, Percy E. Melis, made the statement to a joint House-Senate subcommittee as it wound up hearing on western tim ber problems. Rep. Chudoff D-Pa, chairman of the House group, said the com mittee had received many com plaints from the Quinault Reserva tion in Washington State that In dian timber was bringing as little as one-third the price for compar- fthlp nnn-lnrlian stflnrte "It just doesn't make sense to, me, Chudoff declared. Melis, however, said he did not believe "the record will support some of the testimony." He said comparison of stumpage prices alone in timber sale con tracts are "often misleading." He said "extremely. high prices" received in some recent sales have created an -impression that prices in vogue under long term con - tracts should be "very substantial - ly increased." c .

Another witness, Edward Wooz ley, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said the bureau now has a proposed regulation in con nection with another complaint re ceived by the committee that private landowners sometime charge a purchaser of government i" u Ji u i ovwn"1 timber high rates to use a private These matters are now handled by arbitration but, pending a de - cision, the timber purchaser is un- able to work the land. Woozley said the proposed regu- lation would require deposit ot a bond, dui would permit the pur - chaser to go ahead and use the private road subject to paying whatever price was reached in the arbitration. Paratrooper, Family Have 2nd Reunion WALTHAM. Mass. OP - Sgt. John Horan, the plucky Army par atrooper, who survived a bitter ordeal after an emergency leap last December, held his second re union Wednesday with his Japan ese wife nd their three children. Horan came "home" Tuesday "for the first time since he found his way out of the snow-covered Cascade Mountains in Washington State after parachuting from a dis abled plane. He was flown to Boston from McGuire Air Force Base, N. J., and taken directly to. Murphy Ar my Hospital, in Waltham, near his ' home town of Maynard. The 24-year-old Korean veteran i Is hospitalized with severe frost bite on the toes of each foot. Army : doctor however, said the toes could be saved. Horan still cannot walk and he had to be carried from the plane in a litter, and admitted to the hospital as a "bed" patient. His Japanese wife, Teruko, 25, and their children arrived in this country while Horan was missing in the Cascade Mountains. It took Horan four days to fight his way out of the snow-covered mountains on a pair of improvised anowshoes. Horan brought with him here the ice box shelves he used for snow shoos. ' , Medical officers said Horan would be held for treatment for about six weeks. He said he ex pects to be employed by an uncle in the real estate development bus iness after his discharge. Safe Driver Finds T Walking Hazardous MAYWOOD, Calif. av-An award for 10 years of safe driving was presented Wednesday to truck driv er Lou Murdock In a hospital. Murdock, 34, was honored for 750,000 miles of accident-free driv ing. He is in the hospital because he fell and broke his leg on a flight of stairs while carrying fire wood at his home. In an emergency the United KiaiM ran tunnlv the world mar ket with almost all the commodi - ties usually exported by the United K I ng d o rr Germany. France and a half a dozen other industrially developed nations. would probably be based on the results of a meeting scheduled for today. Political CoijVctnre Marsh has been subject of poli tical conjecture for both the Cong ress post and the governorship, but has made no public announce ment on either. It was William E. Healy, long time assistant secretary of state, who said he had been urged by Marsh to get into the Congress race. This was taken to indicate Marsh had ruled himself out. Marsh agreed Wednesday that he had told Healy to go ahead and announce if he was so inclined, but said he gave him no assurance that he himself would not" be a candidate for the office. Derision Awaited If Marsh decides to run. Salem Attorney John Steelhammer says he will give up the consideration. "If Gene runs I would support him." Steelhammer said Wednes- need for a person with legislative background in the job was of pri mary concern and would be the basis of his decision to seek the post if Marsh does not. Steelham mer. a veteran of the House, was speaker during the 1933 session. Salem Attorney Bruce Williams, who says he is also considering running for Congress, said Wed nesday his decision would be de layed until the weekend or the first of next week. It was believed he, too. might be waiting to see what Marsh's decision would be. 6 StlldeiltS FrOlU Salem Named by OSC Fraternity CORVALLIS-Six Salem students have been selected for member ship in the Oregon State College chapter of Phi Sigma, national bil8y hnr fraternity.
