Nelson is student body presi dent of Eugene High School. . The awards were made at a banquet in the Veterans Me morial Building. Donald C. Sloan of Portland was the main speaker. Danby is a member of the Eu gene Junior Chamber of Com merce. Much of his activity has been with the junior chamber's sports programs. He is man ager of Conrad Bruce & Co. here. Nelson Hinkson, who ranks high scholastically at Eugene High School, assisted the Dis trict 4 Lay Committee in its task of evaluating local schools. He is a letter man in football. There were seven candidates for the Junior First Citizen title. Danby won over Moe Moyer, Ralph Cobb, Edwin E. Cone, Andy Maxon, James H. Steven son, and Bob Davis. Candidates for Future First Citizen besides Nelson were Gunnar Christianson, Willam ette High School; Richard B. Lyons, University High School, and Donald Johnson, St. Fran cis High School. Leadership, initiative, civic service, and accomplishment all were considered in judging the candidates. Scholastic ranking was one element among the high school students.

In exchange, the company could buy any Forest Service timber in this area at the mini mum appraised prices set by the government. There would be no competitive bidding. In other words, no one else could bid or log there. 3. There Is no "escape clause," Lueddeman said. Whatever the term of years decided upon, Pope and Talbot must hold to the agreement. At present, "we're talking 100 years," he said. 4. The company has to make enough progress in waste wood utilization to satisfy the Forest Service. If insufficient progress is shown in five years, the gov ernment may cancel the agree ment. The allowable cut, 60 million board feet a year, must be taken out annually, Lueddeman said. Basically, under the agreement, the Forest Service and the com pany would combine to manage all the timber, he said.

British officers said the Egyp. tians were better led and better armed than any encountered in earlier bloody battles in the dis puted Suez Canal Zone. For the first time, one British spokesman said, "the Egyptians stood and fought it out today." The battle, which lasted throughout most of the day, cen tered in the railway marshalling yards of the canal zone railway center of Tel El Kebir. British accounts of the fighting said eight Egyptians and one soldier of the crack Coldstream Guard were killed and three British troopers and 15 Egyptians were wounded, on basis of pre liminary reports. The British rolled massive Cen turion and Cromwell tanks into the battle lines fronting Sweet water creek as the Egyptian at tack spread from the railway yards to the surrounding area.

Carmi D. Ferguson Jr., of 400 Emery Rd., apparently went to sleep at about 5:30 p.m. while sitting in the car while the motor was running. He was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital. Pope and Talbot Yield Agreement troduced by the late Sen, Charles L. McNary and carried through by Sen. Guy Cordon and Rep. Harris Ellsworth after McNary's death. Up to this point only a rough agreement has been drawn up, Lueddeman stated. He estimated, in answer to ques tions, that if all such agreements possible under the law in Oregon and Washington were drawn up, only 10 per cent of the Forest Service timber would be mono polized. "By tying the big companies up in a smaller area, it will keep them out of the hair of the small er operators," who will not have to worry about outbidding big outfits on the other 90 per cent of Forest Service timber, Luedde man said. No Interest in 1946 i The low grade timber in the agreement area has about "40 per cent defect," Lueddeman de clared. "There was no competition there in 1948 when we moved in," he said, "and no one else was in terested." Lueddeman pointed out that Pope and Talbots assurance of a perpetual timber supply also as (Register-Guard photos by Dean. Wiltshire engravings.)

After a quick trip on the highline, they were dumped into the planting boat by John Chambers, also from Willamette Hatchery. Jensen said the winter planting was made because: 1. It eliminates the need to feed the fish an expensive diet of pure liver, until spring. 2. Some fisheries experts contend that a fish liberated before becoming accustomed to hatchery life is tougher and more likely to grow into a big tug on the end of the t line. British Consulates Ordered to Close Flood Sweeps Oyer Towns In California SAN FRANCISCO (U.R) En tire towns were inundated by flood waters in the Bay Area and Northern California Saturday night, and the Red Cross called for assistance In evacuating hun dreds of persons from their water-surrounded homes. The 24-hour storm that came down from the Gulf of Alaska late Saturday and dumped more than two inches of rain in some areas was easing off, but the weather man said a new one was on the way. The entire town of Alviso, 11 miles northwest of San Jose, was reported under water and its more than 600 residents sought refuge in churches and public buildings. One pastor said 100 men and women had come to his church for shelter and the Red Cross at San Jose issued a plea for row and motor boats to help with the evacuation. A similar situation prevailed in Alameda and Contra Costa coun ties where volunteer workers were setting up emergency facilities for meals and sleeping accommoda tions. Sacramento recorded the largest amount of rain with 2.05 inches, but the most damage was far ther downstream when normally shallow creeks and rivers buckled under the extra load. Highway traffic was temporar ily disrupted in several places. The Bayshore Highway through San Jose was closed by a flooded underpass, and a road , leading from San Jose to Alviso was un der three feet of water. sured Oakridge of permanency as a community. The speaker told of contacting wood-chemical processing com panies, among them the "Contain er Corporation of America and others I am not at liberty to men tion." These companies would not build plants at Oakridge without sufficient raw material supply, Lueddeman said. The agreement would provide the supply. When asked why Pope and Tal bot does not use its influence to obtain a by-product plant for Eugene, so everyone could sell waste wood instead of just Pope and Talbot, Lueddeman replied that chemical plants want 20 year raw material contracts. These they have found unavail able here. Wouldn't Yield Enough The agreement, if consum mated, would allow for the long range negotiations desired by the by-Droduct plants, he intimated. Another question from the audience was: "Weyerhaeuser is on a sustained yield basis without government help. Why aren't LUMBER FIRM (Continued on Pao Tour; lakeshore. The tiny salmon Iran Condemns English Attitudes TEHRAN (UP) Iran ordered Britain Saturday to close all her consulates in Iran within 10 days in a follow-up to the long smoulder ing dispute over nationaliza tion of British-owned oil com' panies. The order, contained In a note delivered to the British Embassy here, repeated Iranian charges that British officials were inter fering in Iran's domestic affairs a charge Iran earlier placed be fore the United Nations. The Iranian note set a deadline of Jan. 21 for the closing of the six consulates. Context of Note The note said: "The Imperial Iranian Govern ment, which cannot tolerate long er the undesirable attitude of British officials and their inter ference in Iran's internal affairs, sees it to its advantage to ask for the closing of all British consu lates in Iran." Iran charged that British con sular officials "have exceeded the limits of their consular duties and have interfered in the internal affairs of Iran to an extent affect ing the country's independence." "Since the safeguarding of in dependence is our duty, we must take these steps." Iran said it had anticipated, on its earlier complaint of interfer ence in the country's internal af fairs, that Britain would request details rather than bluntly reject ing the charge. Wants Facts Known 'Unfortunately, embassy offi cials did not wish to acquaint themselves with the facts," Iran said. The six consulates ordered closed are located in the southern Iranian cities of Bushire, Kerman shah, Korramshar and Shiraz, and the Russo-Iranian border cities of Meshed and Abriz. It was not know whether consular activities at the embassy here also would be halted. The note culminated months of arguing over nationalization of the multi-million dollar Anglo Iranian Oil Co. and a week of note exchanging and rejection on the part of Iran and the British em bassy. Britain Friday rejected an Iran ian charge she had interfered in this country's internal affairs, and touched off a game ot diplomatic shuttlecock.

He-presented this project as part of a picture of how the nation's naval power has expanded since the start of the Korean war and how it will grow in the future if the Russian menace continues. Prototype of the new family of carriers bigger by about 15,000 tons than any now afloat will be the USS Forrestal, I under contract for building at Drivers now, But the Amber Means STOP Judging from calls to police headquarters, a lot of people have been seeing "red" since Acting Municipal Judge Henry F. Beistel told the press last week that "amber lights mean STOP." Argumentative persons have called Chief Ted Brown to com plain that any issuance of tickets for running a yellow light is con trary to state law. Saturday, Judge John L. Barb er Jr. noted that "at least the fuss has people thinking about the yel low traffic signals, something they haven't done before . . . ' Only One Exception Then Judge Barber cited the Oregon traffic code, Section 115- 312, which reads: Yellou) alone or "caution" when shown follouiinu the flreen or "go" sinnal Vehicular traf fic facing the signal shall stop beore entering the n tar est crosswalk at the intersection or at such other point as may be designated by the proper au thority . . . The law does allow an excep tion, Judge Barber said, for it continues to say: . . . but if such stop cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driuen cautiously through the intersection. Pedestrians then starting to cross a roadway thereby are advised that there is insufficient time to cross the roadway, and no pedestrian fac ing such signal shall enter the roadway. Judge Barber emphasized that this does not make the yellow light a signal to "hurry up and get through," though a driver so close to the intersection that he could not stop safely should pro ceed. Police Watch Closely "Safe driving practices or, common sense should influence a driver to anticipate a changing traffic light when it has been green for a considerable period," Judge Barber said. Chief Brown said that tickets are issued only to drivers who officers believe could have stopped for amber signals but did not. Brown, too, stated that a car 50 to 100 feet back of the ordinary Intersection should not continue through the light, but should stop for the yellow signal. City officers make allowances for differing conditions and speed limits. Hams Block Price Rollback For Congressmen's Bean Soup By VINCENT J. BURKE United Preu Klmft Corretpondtnt WASHINGTON U.R A drive to roll back the price o congressmen's bean soup threat ened to collapse Saturday for lack of free ham hocks. Rep, Tom Steed said maybe it's just as well. "My wife wants me to diet and a lot of other members are getting too fat, ton," the Okla homa Democrat said. Michigan bean growers start ed the price-cutting drive after Steed complained that the House restaurant had reduced servings of its 25-cent bean soup by us ing new-style bowls. Beans Are Donated Sympathetic to the plight of a $12,500-a-year congressman, the bean growers shipped a free ton of choice beans to Wash ington. But House restaurant manager William A. Brockwcll said he couldn't afford to cut the price of bean soup unless he got some free ham hocks, too. Congressmen from the nation's great pork producing state of Iowa said they were sorry but they didn't know any Iowa farmers who could afford to subsidize the legislators with free ham. Newport News, Va. The Forrestal will be an entirely new type carrier, a true "flattop". The usual island superstructure will be retractable to allow use of the full width of the flisht deck. This will mean that big atomic bomb carrying planes can take off and land. Aviation Advance In an address prepared for the annual dinner of the National So journers, an organization of offi cers and former officers of th armed forces, Kimball said the Forrestal will "embody the latest advances in naval aviation." An atomic-powered carrier would have virtually unlimited cruising range and probably con siderably higher speed than any vessel of comparable size now in commission. The Navy is starting on nuclear power ship propulsion with an experimental submarine. A con tract for the hull has been let and engines are now being developed. Kimball also said that as part ot the program for coping with the Soviet submarine danger, which he rated as great, the Navy will launch within the next few months four new type "hunter killer" destroyers. Fast and Powerful These ships are big, fast and powerfully armed with special weapons for detecting and de stroying submersibles. Kimball said more than 500 ships have joined the active fleet since June, 1950. By mid-year four battleships, 12 aircraft car riers, six cruisers and more than 100 destroyer-type vessels will have been added to the fleet. In addition 140 new ships ot various types are under construc tion. Kimball's remarks, taken with the known fleet strength at the time the Korean war started, in dicates the Navy will have over 750 ships in its active fleet by next July. Press Gallery Honors Winnie OTTAWA (U.R) Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill was made an honorary member of the Canadian parliamentary press gallery Saturday and said that he had been a journalist for half his life. "You pay me a high compli ment," Churchill said. "I have been a Journalist all my life or all the time I have not been in office, which has been about half my life." Churchill started his writing career as a war correspondent in the Boer War, more than 50 years ago. That was in reply to Rep. Jess P. (I'm only a bean man") Wolcott (R-Mich) who proudly announced at Detroit: "Michigan has done its part. The ham hockers ought to corns through now." Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Ia) passed the buck to the White House. ' "Mr. Truman ought to pay for the ham hocks because the bean soup is a victim of Mr. Truman's inflation," he said. Rep. Paul Sunningham (R-Ia)' said Congress should look to tha southerners for free ham hocks. The southerners are to blame for giving congressmen the bean soup habit, he said, because years ago they taught congres sional cooks how to make the now-famous dish. Steed Is Sorry Now Rep. Ben J. Honscn (R-Ia) said that wouldn't do at all. "The bean soup wouldn't b bean soup without Iowa ham hocks," he said. Steed said he was sorry he ever brought up the subject, "I'm getting mail from people who say it would suit them fins it all members ot Congresi starved to death," ho sighed.
