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

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.

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.

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

Subject of Measure
SALEM OP) The bill to
make permanent the increased
length and weight limits for
trucks operating on state high

The increased limits were per
mitted during the war as' an
emergency measure.
Rep. Burt K. Snyder. Lakeview.

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.

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. .
