OSU to Offer
Special Course
OREGON STATE UNIVER
SITY Inventory planning
and continuous forest in
ventory will be the main
subjects covered in a special
three-day short course to be
offered at Oregon State Uni
versity March 14 to 16.
The short course, Manage
ment Control in Modern for
est Practice, will be directed
by Prof. R. A. Yoder and will
be taught by government and
industrial forest experts as
well as other OSU forestry
professors.
Other forestry short courses,
earlier announced, to be given
this year by Oregon State Uni
versity include:
Variable Plot Cruising, Jan.
24-26.
Logging Safety Institute,
Feb. 1-2.
Lumber Drying Short
Course, Feb. 26-March 3.

achool. Armed with new grants,
the school is ready to start work
ing with the $1 million research
center which has been erected
on the campus by the U.S. For
est Service.
McCulloch told the visitors
that this cooperative effort
which takes in the school and
other departments of the col
lege, the Bureau of Land Man
agemcnt, the Forest Service and
many other cooperating agen
cics, make his program "one of
the nation's lnrgest programs of
forest research.
This type of program is need
ed because of the state's eco
nomic dependence on its forest
products, he said.
Current investigation in for
est management is centered on
forest regeneration (second
growth) and young growth man
agement. This, researchers say,
is becoming more and more im
portant as the virgin old-growth
Douglas fir is being cut out.
Variety of Projects
Projects include work on stor
age of tree seeds; control of
brush and "weed trees"; resist
ance of seedlings to drought,
heat and cold; and logging by
helicopter.
Other projects are studying

Morse Supports
Passport Ruling
WASHINGTON (.TV Sen.
Wayne Morse, D-Ore., is happy
over new regulations worked
out by the Justice and State de
partments on passports for per-
aons believed to be Communists.
The Stato Department may
withhold a passport from such a
person under the new proced
ure, but the department must
be prepared to produce evi
dence upon which the action is
based.
In a letter to Ally. (ion. Rob
ert K. Kennedy, Morse wrote
that it is long past time for I lie
executive and legislative
branches of the federal govern
nient to observe the provisions
of the Constitution which too
often are left to the courts
alone to protect.
how to properly manage smaller
ownerships; use of parasiticides
and insecticides to control the
damaging Douglas Fir bark
beetles; relationship of soil to
seedling survival; effects of burn
ing slash on soil and seedling
growth; and forest genetics
studies to produce better trees
through selection and breeding.
Another line of research
forest products has about 50
projects underway.
These include promotion ot
wood for new and different
structural purposes; investiga
tions to find uses for the potentially-valuable
quarter-ton of
bark which is harvested with
each thousand board feet of
logs; use of waste residues for
composition board and pulp;
seasoning studies; and continua
tion of the old "post farm" tests,
which were started at OSU
thirty years ago.
Goals Unchanged
Although there is consider
able integration of programs at
the college, the same goals ap
pear as in other years how
to grow better trees and how
to make better use of thorn.
Throughout the campus, la
boratories, equipped with mod
ern testing, measuring, and
"watching" apparatus, are
staffed with hundreds of scien
tists. But inside the old framework
are new emphases for instance,
entomology, which in forestry
terms means the control of dam
aging insects.
The new U.S.F.S. laboratory,
which will be staffed and in
business this summer, will be
devoted to this study and will
be the largest entomology re
search center in the nation.
Among the bugs to be stud
ied at the center and in the
OSU labs are the Bark beetles
which infest many acres of
Douglas fir, with the pests bor
ing into the bark and laying
eggs which ti'rn into larvae
which feed on the harkchan
nels which should be supplying
nourishment to the tree.
Budworm Studies.
Another pest being studied
the spruce budworm, which
chews on needles and other
tree parts and is indiscriminate
about what tree it attacks.
These studies are more or
less confined to finding more
about the bug this knowledK
will lead to better control
methods.
A parasite, which kills the
bark beetle's children, is being
watched with the goal in mind
that perhaps It can be encour
aged in its appetite and num
bers. Scientists arc also finding
that considerable damage is be
ing inflicted by earthhound
grubs. These grubs chew on the
roots cf Douglas firs, especial
ly in Christmas tree plantations
and in newly-planted areas.
Soil preparation is getting Us
usual amount of attention. Sci
ence has found that soil scari
fication and fertilization helps
grow trees faster but there may
be bad side effects the faster
a tree grows the 'more apt it is
to have poor fiber.
Lignin Program
Lignin, the "glue" which holds
the cells together in a tree, is
still being pursued with an ac
tive program at the research
center. Little is known about
lignin and current research is
engaged in breaking it down.
When enough is found about
lignin, then it might be put to
work in a productive pursuit,
the researchers believe. A side
effect would be the reduction
of pollution much of the waste
material which comes from a
pulp plant is lignin.
Some eighteen projects deal
with the problems of forest re
generation at OSU.
Douglas fir seeds from Ari
zona are being grown in outside
beds, but, so far, are growing
Just as slowly as they do in

Negroes File
Court Suit
CHICAGO W The parents of
12 Negro children involved in a
school transfer that touched off
a sit-in demonstration on Chi
cago's South Side have filed suit
in U.S. District Court against
the city's school officials.
A suit filed Friday seeks
$500,000 in punitive damages
from the Chicago Board of Edu
cation and School Supt. Benja
min u. Willis. It also seeks an
injunction to force them to re
vise pupil transfer policies.
Tho plaintiffs contend their
children were among 34 seventh
graders transferred from Burn-
side to Gillespie, both elemen
tary schools with sizeable Negro
enrollments. The changes were
effective Jan. 2.
Some of the children, the Ne
gro parents contend, should
have been shifted to Perry, an
all-white school in the area.

with less water than the Oregon
tree, it might be that it can be
crossed with an Oregon tree and
planted on the dry south slopes
to grow faster with less water.
'Beating the Heat'
Reasons for the high mortal
ity rate in seeded and planted
areas are also being pursued.
One project is finding out how
to "beat the heat" which often
kills small trees in the summer
time.
In the products research line,
considerable attention is being
given to particle-board produc
tion. This type of product, it is
hoped, will make a high use of
some materials which are being
wasted at the millsites in the
state.
School Board
To Hear Plan
The possibility of establishing
an "instructional materials"
center for Lane County will
be discussed Monday at a meet
ing of the Eugene School Board.
The meeting will begin at 8
p.m. in the School Administra
tion Building, 275 E. Seventh
Ave., Eugene.
Under the suggested plan, the
center would carry film, tape
and various other educational
aids, which could be used by all
school districts in the county.
Supt. Millard Z. Pond will give
a complete report on the project
Monday. The center would be
operated from the Lane County
scnooi superintendents office.
In other business Monday, the
board will:
Discuss budget planning
for the 1962-63 academic year.
Consider a proposed pol
icy to govern maintenance of
physical facilities and use of
students funds to buy school
equipment.
