Thompnn objected to the posi tion of the proposed unit's north boundary, which extends Into Linn County, saying there are "numerous small operators In the area who contribute to the towns of Linn County, who would be deprived of O. and C. timber un less the boundaries are changed." . The Albany Chamber of Com merce entered a protest to the plan, while the Eugene Chamber of Commerce entered Its exhibit In favor of the plan. County Commissioner Allen Wheeler of Eugene expressed "no objec tions." Assistant Secretary Davidson assured the men in his opening address that "the views you ex press will be most carefully con sidered before the secretary of in terior takes any final action on the matter. If however, It is dem onstrated to be an in appropriate method, whereby more problems are created than are solved, , we must seek other methods for achieving our objective of sus tained yield." To Agreement 'Afternoon sessions were devoted to tbe actual agreement proposed botween O. and C. and the land holders. Davidson said It was hoped to conclude the hearing Wednesday, even if it meant a night session. .The opposing Western Forest Industries Assn. rallied its forces here Tuesday night in a combina tion pep talk and dinner meeting. Muster of Ceremonies J. H. Jones of Golden Gate Lumber Co. said: w e L L DRILLING EASY PAYMENT; PLAN i w M Atlas Drilling Co. H. L, Oordlnler ' 10 Tears Experience Phone 481S-W or 81 its Willow St,, Eugene, Oregon "Now we're on the battle ground, and the fate of the the natural re sources of this state are at stake." Earl Mason, former dean of the school of forestry at Oregon State College, told the group of over 100 men that "I don't think the men in the government are maliciously carrying out somebody's orders; they are just doing what they have been convinced is best." Mason compared the plan with "the old landed aristocracy." since a 100-year agreement with the government would allow the land to revert to heirs. Judge Lelf Erlckson of Troy, Mont., formerly on the bench of the Montana State Supreme Court, was the group's keynote speaker. "What you're up against here is going to be repeated all over the West," Erlckson told the men. "As a matter of national policy, the little fellow is going to be squeezed out. " In Montana The Montana judge said a sim liar sustained yield program now is being fought on the Kootenai National Forest In Montana. He agreed that it would give stability to the town of Libby, Mont., but said it would make a ghost town of Troy, Mont. Association members said criti cism of the proposed Oregon agreement had been voiced by several operators in Linn County, who fear that timber normally go ing to mills in Brownsville, Craw fordville, Holly and other Linn towns will henceforth be diverted to the Fischer plant at Marcola in Lane County. Worktngman Judge Erickson conitnued: "It is not a healthy condition for the working man when one company owns, or has access to, all the tim ber In a given area. He may too easily be blackballed. There Isn't any reason to pay the price some agencies want to pay for sustained yield. We don't know what fores try practices will be 10, 15. or 100 years from now. Perhaps we won't even want the big logs." K. T. Titus of Portland, execu tive secretary of the association, cited the group's opposition to anything except competitive bid ding. Bid Price He noted that he counties get SO per cent of the timber sale reve nues from O and C lands, and that bid prices have been running con siderable higher than the ap praised prices. "If these sales had been by appraisal, the eounties would be losing money," he stated. Merton Folts of the Isaac Wal ton League called the sustained yield plan "a vicious piece of legis lation." He said It would "pad lock the doors of the public do main" against fishermen and sportsmen and that nothing has been included In the agreement whereby the public may be per mitted access to national timber lands Included In a sustained yield agreement.

School Bus Nicked By Oncoming Train JUNCTION CITY The school bus had a narrow escape in dense fog Wednesday at 8:20 a. m. when the engine on Southern Pacific's No. 14 struck the corner of the bus at a grade crossing. Only light damage was done to a rear corner of the bus and according to John Gunson, driver, and the children on the bus, the train did not stop. Gunson said that he stopped before the crossing, which is ap proximately three miles south of Junction City on the Prairie Road. rolled down the window, and looked and listened but heard nothing. As he started across, Paul Bell, a high school student, glims ed the oncoming train and gave the alarm.
