IIP) , Seventy-year-old Ludwig Huettner and his Austrian-born wife are happy that he never forfeited his Amer ican citizenship in 37 years in Europe, The couple arrived In the Unit ed States from Czechoslovakia re cently. They fled from Europe after conditions became intoler able for them. After the communists came into control, their 80-aere farm was "nationalized." They could continue to live on it, temporar ily, at least, and could work it. But they were no longer working for themselves. They were work ing for the government. They decided to return to Huettner's native America if they could. . U. S. Gives Aid Mr. and Mrs. Huettner applied to the United States consulate at Prague. They were told they could come to the United States under provisions made for admis sion of "displaced persons." Their travel expenses werepaid by the U. S. governments They were given $115 to itde them over. That, briefly, is the story of how Ludwig Huettner returned to the land of bis birth. He and his wife traveled half way across the country to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hitt ner of Humphrey, Neb. Shortlv afterward they found employ ment at at. Mary's hospital In Columbus. Huettner told friends that con ditions began to get bad during the war-when the Russian army came to their home community.. Conditions reached a climax when the Russian-instituted communist regime seized power. . Too Much to Stand Worst of all was the national izing of their homestead, Huett ner said. There were many other, things that a man American-born could not stand. You had to get a permit to go from one village to another. You were required to sign your .name to a ballot in the election. It was compulsory to vote and the communist candidates were the only names on the ballot. Huettner reported that if Red Cross aid seeped through to the villages he didn't see any of it. Huettner was born in Platte county. Neb., near where he now is employed, in 1878. In 1911 he went toa Europe with his foster parents, Mr. and . Mrs. Anton Huettner.

There are some who would advocate this procedure. Fortunately there exists today another school of private lumbermen who believe in perpetuating the lumber industry; who believe that the efficient, profitable plan of operation for the Oregon-California forest lands is the accepted plan Sustained Yield Forestry Agreements between the govern ment and private owners.
