if -i !' ji i i. i Enrene Retlster-Gnard Lane Overculling Cited by Hall; 1 Plea Made for Sustained Yield A strong plea for a working sus tained yield lumber production in Lane County was made Tuesday noon by Dr. J. A. Hall, director of the Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station at Portland in a talk before the Eugene Rotary Club. The program of sustained yield must be adopted if Lane County Is not to follow in the footsteps of Sergeant-af-Arms Short in Accounts WASHINGTON UP) Speaker Martin (R-Mass) announced Tuesday that a final audit of the accounts of Kenneth Romney, former sergeant - at - arms of the House of Representatives, shows a shortage of $125,563.73. Martin said the audit, made by Lindsay C. Warren, comptroller general, will be turned over to the attorney general "for possible re covery and, whatever action he deems necessary." . Meanwhile, he said, the cash ier's office which has been closed since the audit started early this month, will be reopened Thursday morning and withdrawals will be limited to 75 per cent of individual deposits. The sergeant-at-arms operates a banking office for house mem' bers and their staffs. Electric Range Prize In 'Dimes' Contest A $250 electric range super de luxe model, will be given away by the March of Dimes committee to the person in Eugene who gives the best answer in 20 words or less to the question "Why I Contribute ed to the March of Dimes." ac cording to Ray Foster and Bill Loud, co-chairmen of the drive. The range has been donated by the Appliance Center and the con test is being sponsored by Radio Station KORE, Foster said. Cards will be mailed to all Eugene homes. The contest closes on Feb. 7, and all cards must be postmark ed on or before midnight of that date. They should be addressed to KORE Broadcasting Station, South Willamette, Eugene. Winner of the stove will be an nounced over KORE on Feb. 14. Still tftgently Needed i They're needed way, more man ever before,. "when I SAY COFFEE . 7 -t!. V.JT Columbia County, where produc tion in 1025 was 519,000,000 board feet, and in 1945 was. less than 77,000,000 board feet. Present sustained production In Lane County is due largely to the huge backlog of national forest timber the speaker pointed out, showing that in 1925 Lane County cut 261,000,000 board feet, and by 1945 was cutting more than a bil lion board feet of timber. Dr. Hall pointed out that even if E.ugcne can still claim to be the lumber capital of the world, Lane County lumber Interests are now overcutttng by 25 per cent. "Eugene may be the lumber capital of the world now," Dr. Hall declared, "but I have hunted deer in the streets of dead cities that one: claimed that honor. Will the same thing happen here?" When the decision was made to build the wood alcohol plant in Lane County, the move followed a survey of the entire United States to determine which county could stay at a high level of tim ber production. Lane County was chosen and the plant established. The site was chosen not because of the timber supply, Dr. Hall said, but because of the huge backlog of federal owned timber stands which would assure a continued supply of wood to the plant. Tim ber that could be cut only on a sustained yield basis showed sur vey men that the plant would con tinue to produce. Access Roads Needed The main need now in the county is access roads so that stands of ripe timber can.be harv ested, Dr. Hall said. He emphasiz ed that allowable cuts would be made as soon as possible, but that allowable cuts can grow or shrink. depending on the utilization of forest products.. Relogging and thinning are factors bringing up the allowable cut, while forest fires bring it down, he said. National forest lands assure the people, to whom they belong, of a sustained flow of timber, Dr. Hall said. Forest lands are- im portant also as water shed regu lators, and do much to keep val leys from threat of bad floods. Dr. Hall also emphasized that control of volume cut is impor tant, so that as old growth is taken out, second growth is able to re place it. A balance between cut tine of old timber and growth of new must be acquired, he declar ed. Vet Student Reported Missing at Corvallis CORVALLIS IU.R Disappear ance more than a week ago of an ex-GI Oregon State College stu dent was reported by police here Tuesday. The student, David P. Benneth, 19, of Portland, a freshman study ing engineering, left 'his rooming house "as usual for classes," on Friday, Jan. 10, said his landlady, Mrs. Vina Wilkinson, When a check with college authorities indicated Benneth had not reported for classes for several days, police began an investiga tion. Mr.' and Mrs. E. T. Benneth, 2768 N.W. Lake St., Portland, were listed as his parents. A brother, John, is a student at the University of Oregon. Eisenhower 'Resting' In Army Hospital WASHINGTON (U.R) Physi cians at Walter Reed Army Hospi tal said Tuesday that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, chief of staff, is suffering from an "acute gastro upset" a stomach disorder. They did not consider Eisen hower's condition serious. They tested his heart and found it was normal. Physicians said he will continue to.rest at the hospital for the time being. 'GOD BLESS GOVERNORS' MARIETTA, Ga. P The Rev. J. C. Collum opened superior court with the usual prayer for divine guidance of the leaders of the nation and state. Then in con clusion he added: "and God bless all our governors!" A New York State Agricultural Experiment Station has increased beet production in one instance by applying salt to the land. urn.. m I MEAN FOIGWS!" torn French Assembly Affirms Leaders PARIS OP) France's Nation al Assembly confirmed Paul Ramadier, Socialist, by a vote of 577 to 10 Tuesday night as pre mier in the first government of the fourth French Republic. Radical-Socialist Leader Edou ard Herriot, 74, was elected presi dent of the assembly. Herriot, who was unopposed, headed the old chamber of depu ties from 1936-1942. He is in his 42nd year as mayor of Lyon, France's third largest city. A protege of Aristlde Briand, Herriot was three times premier of France before the war. He suc ceeds Vincent Aurlol, recently elected president of the republic. Before the voting began, the legislature heard a message read from Auriol tailing upon France to "maintain and develop her al liances" and to insist upon "Just reparations and a full security" from Germany. Truck Dimensions Subject of Measure SALEM OP) The bill to make permanent the increased length and weight limits for trucks operating on state high ways, was introduced in the House Tuesday by a dozen representa tives and Senators. The increased limits were per mitted during the war as' an emergency measure. Rep. Burt K. Snyder. Lakeview. chairman of .the House Highways Committee, said he didn't believe there would be much of a fight against the bill. He said eastern Oregon livestock men would strongly support it, as well as other shippers who use trucks to transport their products to mar ket. Bills Introduced On Vets' Affairs SALEM OP) Five bills deal ing with veterans were introduced Tuesday by the Senate Military Affairs Committee. They are based on proposals by the State Depart ment of Veterans' Affairs. One measure would establish a records division with the director of veterans affairs, with the duty of keeping all records pertaining to war veterans except those rec ords of the military department which pertain to the National Guard. Another measure gives the director of veterans affairs all duties heretofore given the State Land Board and the former World War Veterans State Aid Commission, and thus wraps up all veterans affairs from both world wars in the same depart ment, v i ' One measure calls for the advis ory committee on veterans affairs to meet at least once in three months, and permitting it to meet any place in the state. . ' Other legislation is expected, in cluding the program to increase the amounts of loans to veterans and to set up the state as a lends ing agency to serve areas in which there are no regular lending facil ities for extension of federal GI loans. Local 'Dimes' Program Wins Seattle Support Ten little dimes marched a long way. Eugene's March of Dimes com mittee expects to "tap" the Eu gene area, naturally, but Bill Loud and Ray Foster, co-chairmen of the drive to raise funds for the fight against infantile paralysis, were surprised and pleased to re ceive a dollar in the mail this week from Abe Cohen, 1632 24th Ave., Seattle, together with a note saying he had heard the two-hour March of Dimes broadcast on Jan. 18 and wanted to contribute his 10 dimes. Intelligent Action Need Cited by Dr. Newburn PORTLAND OP) Men must loirn to act more intelligently If the world is to develop, Dr. Harry K. Newburn, University of Ore gon president, told the Junior Chamber of Commerce Tuesday. Speaking at a luncheon in hon or of Miles S. Woodworth, local fireman who was chosen Port land's junior first citizen of 1946, the university president declared that the future depends upon "the immovability of individual man." Hunting License Offset Proposed in Lane Bill SALEM W) Lane County's three state representatives intro duced a bill Tuesday to permit agents of the State Game Com mission, such as sporting goods houses, to keep 25 cents for each hunting and fishing license they sell.

Since those residents of the community who have had access to the dumping grounds west of town have abased their privi leges the elty council has had to hire bulldozer for two days to put the place under control again and has now fenced the property and locked it up. Any one desiring- to place rubbish there must from this da' secure a key from the police committee of the council. This place has been made use of by many rural residents whereas the town of Creswell leased the ground and taxed the citizens through the water board for the rent of it. Not only tin cans and ntber rubbish that can not be burned has been hauled there but dead animals and filth which is strictly against all rules of nealtfe and decency. Cooperation of all citizens is re quested by the council. .
