Sustained Yield
Units Designated
For O.&C. Lands
By Elcion Burred
(UnlUtl Pre. Staff Corrtniiondent)
Salem, Oro., Nov. 25 ill'i Many
of Oregon's sawmill towns will
. not be given up to the ghosts
Uncle Sam's sustained yield pro
gram for Oregon and California
revested grant lands works out
as planned.
Economic stabilization In lum
bering communities and Insurance
of long-range continuation of ah
abundant tree supply to meet fu
ture requirements are the prin
cipal objectives of the program,
devised by the interior depart
ment. Ten years ago congress passed
an act requiring that O & C timber
lands be administered on a sus
tained yield basis to assure a per
manent supply of trees. During
the last decade this land has been
surveyed, cruised and the timber
classified.
Divided Into Units
The lands have been divided in
to 12 sustained yield master units.
Only one, however, the Sisuslaw
unit, has been approved oy ine
interior department which ad
ministers the lands. The status
of the other 11 units is pending
consideration of testimony heard
in Dublic hearings this year.
Zone boundaries have been de
fined in each master unit and
areas have been specified In which
logs from each zone can be manu
factured. The plan simply is to retain
for mills In each master unit, the
logs harvested in that unit. If
the program Is successful Ore-
gons numerous jumoer towns
would not be abandoned because
of a lack of timber.
Under the master unit program
the O & C administration hopes
to place the forest products In
dustry of western Oregon on a
"firm and substantial foundation,"
which will permit harvesting of
a certain percentage or logs eacn
year.
Period Selected
For example, the Columbia riv
er master unit Columbia, Mult
nomah, Washington, Yamhill,
Tillamook and Polk counties
will produce about 72,900 board
feet per acre in 90 years, the
period selected as the logical cut
ting rotation for each unit.
There has been objection to the
plan, especially in connection with
boundaries. Uut then, O & C lands
always have been a point of dis
pute. The lands originally were given
to the Oregon & California rail
roHd company which planned to
build a line through sparsely set
tled Oregon. The federal govern
ment encouraged the move by
granting the company alternate
sections of land in a long strip
through the state on condition
that it be sold to settlers at a stip
ulated price. Several years later
the government decided the com
pany was violating the agreement
and the lands were repossessed.
Air Rescue 'Flying Firemen'
Tackle Any Emergency
Over half the vehicles shipped
from automobile factories are de
livered to dealers over highways
by 150 haulaway or driveaway
firms.
By James C. Anderson
(United i'retw Staff CorrroponJent)
San Francisco mi Any time
an airplane crashes or Is reported
overdue on a flight in the United
States, a small, picked team of
combat veterans of the uir corps
Is ready to go to the rescue.
These "flying firemen" are
members of the U. S. air forces
uir rescue unit, stationed at stra
tegic bases throughout the nation.
Their primary mission Is to fly
to the rescue In any aerial emer
gency. They go even if "zero
zero" flying conditions prevail
and the search leads to the dan
gerous mountain peaks of the
Itockies or over storm-buffeted
ocean waters.
Air rescue boasts the finest
equipment available for its diffi
cult duty. Each unit has both air
and ground equipment, especially
designed for the particular type
of terrain in which the search
centers.
Equipment Diversified
Headquarters of squadron B of
AHS, based at Hamilton Hem,
Calif., is typical. Its primary
equipment consists of a B-17 Fly
ing Fortress and a a zi) faupertort
for long-range reconnaissance
C-S2 and C-47 cargo aircraft to
carry medical supplies, search
equipment and an air-borne radio
jeep; an L-5 single-engine "putt-
putt plane, used to comb moun
tain draws and canyons and for
liaison between base and advance
units of the search party; an SA
10 Catalina flying boat, affection
ately called "The Duck" by pilots,
suitable for landings on water or
ground, and an R-5 helicopter,
whose ability to hover motionless
allows search pilots to pin-point
wreckage.
No matter whether a civilian or
military plane is reported lost or
crashed, AKS goes to the rescue.
Recently, when Gov. Earl Snell
of Oregon and three other men
crashed in a desolate mountain
area in southeast Oregon, ARS
flew Its search missions despite
weather so bad no other planes
would take to the air.
Secret of the success of ARS in
finding lost aircraft in recent
years Is a complex radio liaison
maintained between search planes
In the air, the radio Jeep which
gc'3 as close to the probable
wreck scene as possible, ground
search parties and the unit's home
base.
Jeep In Control
The radio jeep is the control
point, Its radio receiver beamed in
on nil of the pianos In the air as
well as being able to transmit in
structions to ground men
equipped with' portable "walkie
talkie." radio sets and talk direct
lo its home base. Usually, a
scanner In one of the planes first
spots the wreck and notified the
radio jeep. The jeep relays to
ground men instructions on how
to find the plane.
If there were survivors, ARS
always has a "paradoclor" and an
enlisted medical orderly who can
be flown to the wreck scene and
dropped by 'chu'e. Medical sup
plies, guns and ammunition, life
rafts, flares, emergency food ra
tions, warm clothing and other
necessities also arc dropped by
parachute.
If no one survived the wreck, it
usually Is up to air rescue to re
move the bodies and fly them
back to base.
ARS' duties are not always so
grim. Recently, 1st J,t. John Hal
pin of Detroit, Mich., pilot of the
helicopter and one of the finest
windmill filers in the air corps,
spent a busy day fanning" dry
with the rotor blades of his ma
chine 200 acres of cherries which
were in danger of being blighted
by a rainstorm.

Motor Vehicle
Licenses Gain
Salem, Nov. 25. More than
518,000 motor vehicles have been
registered in Oregon In the first
nine months of the year and the
record-breaking climb is continu
ing. Secretary of state Earl T.
I Newbry has announced.
lopping die nan niunim iiuim
for the first time last July, regis
trations on vehicles of all types
reached 518,224 on September 30
for the highest figure yet record
ed. Passenger cars neared 400,000,
a 12 per cent gain over the same
period last year.
Registration fees on vehicles of
all types totalled almost $5,000,
000, an increase of better than 20
per cent.
"The number of cars and trucks
now operating on Oregon streets
and highways is exceeding all ex
pectations," Newbry declared. "It
means the traffic load is heavier
than ever before at the time of the
year when driving is most dan
gerous.
He warned that drivers now
face the twin hazards of bad
weather and congested roadways,
a situation calling for extreme
driving care.
Engineering Students
Discover Literature
St. Louis (ll'i Engineering stu
dents at Washington university
are studying the classics along
with calculus this year, and .lik
ing It.
Previously, the engineers, as In
most institutions, had been so
preoccupied with the slide rule
that they had little time lor read
ing good literature.
The new course was Introduc
ed to teach practical-minded en
gineering students that good
books are not "sissy stuff."
Prof. Alex Buchan, one of the
Instructors, says students are sur
prised to learn that they can earn
credit for "Just reading."
