Jack Danby, manager of a Eu
gene Investment concern, was
announced Saturday night as
the Junior First Citizen for 1951,
and Nelson Hinkson received
the Future First Citizen award.
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.

1.2 billion board feet of timber
and the Forest Service owns 5.5
billion feet.
2. 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.

Egypt's Troops
Beat Off British
27 Reported Killed
In Day-Long Fight
BRITISH HQS, SUEZ CANAL
ZONE (U.R) Egyptian comman
dos, attacking in force, stood off
more than two companies of tank
supported British troops in a day
long battle in which first British
reports said 27 persons had been
killed or wounded.
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.

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

perpetual timber supply also as

Dumped Into Odell Lake
porting buckets of fish to the
were siphoned out of the tank by L. R. Wicks, McKenzie
Bridge. 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

government help. Why aren't

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.

Ten Mighty

Navy Plans
Secretary Kimball Says U.S.
To Build One Carrier a Year
WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary Dan Kimball said Sat
urday night the Navy plans to build a series of ten 60,000-ton
super-carriers, one a year for a decade, and that it hopes
some will be driven by atomic power.
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,

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.
