A deer drive Is planned by U. S. Forest Service personnel. The drive will be held in an ef fort to get deer out of the Squaw Creek burn, blackened by fires in 1960 and now being replanted. About 500 acres has been placed under fence, woven wire seven feet high, topped by three strands of smooth wire. It is estimated that there are as many a 20 dear ill the area, and the plan is to get them out be fore they damage young pines which have been planted. In ad dition to the tiny trees now grow ing in the old burn, about 330 or 400 acres will be replanted soon. Unless the deer are removed from the area bordering Squaw Creek near Sisters, fear is held that the nibbling animals will cause considerable damage to the young trees. Earlier in the season, some 50 head of deer were chased out of the Coyote Springs fenced pine plantation in the Cascades west of Bend. Assisting in the drive were members of the 25-man fire suppression crew stationed at Redmond. Plans were made to use the crew, known to foresters as the "Hot Shots," in the Sisters drive, but the men may not be back from a fire control assignment in the Olympics of Washington.

Developers, Inc. plan new sign A new sign is to replace the one that was removed this week at the site of a projected shopping center on E. Third St., Hap Tay lor, realtor, said today. The sign was removed at the request of Developers, Inc., Tay lor said. It gave a July date for the start of construction. A new double-faced sign is to be erected south of the location of the former one, near Taylor's real estate office. "It is hoped that a meeting of the principals (of Developers Inc.) will be held here this week," Taylor said. "Everything is go ing along just fine, but it is not possible, at this moment, to an nounce a date for start of con struction." The property, formerly the Lava Bear football field, was pur chased from the Bend school dis trict by the corporation, for an elaborate shopping center. Next payment on the property is due early next year. Taylor said that Allan Grant, Portland, and Foster Anderson and Wayne Johnson, Eugene, principals in the corporation, met with him two weeks ago to dis cuss plans for the development. Refuse in river blem causing pro Presence of grass clippings and other refuse in the Deschutes river and irrigation canals is cre ating a problem, authorities pointed out today. Dr. Ruth I. Hickok. medical di- rector of the Tri-Coiin!y Health Department, and A. w. westiall. sanitarian, joined in calling on the public for "care and vigi lance" to prevent the entrance of such possiiile cau"s of pollution in the river and canals. Grass clippings, in partirilar. have been observed in the rivc, it "vas reported. Meanwhile, officials reported at tendance lagging slightly. And with Roseburg out of the tourney, it will be up to the home folks entirely. After five days of tourney play, 5800 have been counted through the gate an average of 1160 per day. Last year's seven-day regionals brought a total of 7284 paid admis sions an average of 1040 per day. But Oregon's entry, Klamath Falls, went all the way in that one. If Hawthorne wins tonight and forces an extra game, chances are good that this year's meet will best the 1960 regionals. A Phoenix win will mean tourney receipts will be slightly down.

Blaze kept from Bend water intake A timber fire flared dangerous ly close to the Bend municipal water supply intake Saturday, but was held before It spread be yond half an acre, through use of borate slurry and work of a Des chutes fire suppression crew. The blaze, in an old mag. was a "sleeper" from one of the light ning storms of this past week roresters said the blaze was about three fourths of a mile northeast of Tumalo Falls, on upper Tumalo Creek. It burned briskly in an area of brush and down timber. A borate plane was called from the Redmond base and dropped a load of slurry on the spreading flames, holding them in check until the Spring River fire control unit arrived. This was the only fire reported in the Deschutes National Forest over the weekend, but fires in other p a r t of the Northwest drained the Deschutes manpow er.

Johnson feels mission was success WASHINGTON (UPI) Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson re turned from a morale-building mission to Germany today, con fident that his flying visit has firmed up Western strength and unity in meeting the Communist challenge to free Berlin. Arriving at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., after a whirlwind 62 hour trip to Bonn and West Ber lin, Johnson hailed the "heroic conduct" of the Red-encircled West Berliners as "one of the major assets of the Free World." The vice president planned to report at 2:30 p.m. PDT to Presi dent Kennedy, who hurriedly dis patched him to Germany last weekend to allay West German fears of U.S. inaction after the Communists sealed the East-West border of Berlin. Ready for Future In his statement upon his re turn, Johnson said: "As a result of our mission I believe that we will be better able to meet what ever the future may bring because of the greater unity of purpose and the reaffirmation of common policies achieved in our recent discussions." He voiced "unlimited gratitude" for the "heart-warming" recep tion he received from more than a million West Berliners who turned out to see him at public appearances. "The Communist threat to Ber lin is very real and is but a part of the continuing struggle between the world of freedom and the world of coercion," Johnson cautioned. He said his first duty would be to report to the President. Johnson said his talks with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt had given him "even greater con fidence in the distinction and re sponsibility of free German lead ership." He expressed "conviction that the bonds between this country and West Germany and West Ber lin, already very strong, have been made even stronger and mere enduring. The vice president stressed the "heart-warming" welcome given the 1.500 new U.S. troops sent to West Berlin to strengthen the Al lied garrison there. "Our troops know that they carry the honor of America with them as they begin their impor tant task of helping to protect this outpost of peace and free dom, Johnson asserted. That trust could not be committed to safer or stronger hands." West German Ambassador Wil helm Grewe, in an airport state ment, freely acknowledged that Johnson's trip and the strengthen ing of the U.S. garrison in Berlin had "ended a period of a few days of uncertainty." The vice president had planned originally to report to Kennedy at the President's Cape Cod sum mer home at Hyannis Port, Mass., but their meeting was switched to Washington. Kennedy was ex pected to return from an abbrevi ated weekend stay at Hyannis Port late in the afternoon. Johnson was accompanied on his mission by retired Gen. Lucius Clay and Charles Bohlen, State Department expert on Soviet af fairs.

Mr. Citizen would give $5 to the American Red Crass. . .$4 to the Camp Fire Girls. . .$3 to the Boy Scouts. . .$2 to the next . .$1 to the next. . .right on down the line. By the time the last fund raiser came around, Mr. Citizen had only an empty wallet to show them. Often he had nothing to offer his favorite agency, merely because he had felt obligated to give to the first solicitors who had approached him.

The final goal is a compilation of each of the 25 approved budgets. All Volunteer Gordon McKay, president of the Deschutes UF, stresses that all fund soliciting is done by per sons who have volunteered their time and effort to work on the drive. "Volunteer workers mean low er administrative costs," he ex plains, "and lower administrative costs mean more of the funds we raise go straight to the agen cies." He also points out Hint the lo cal UF, which is directed by 33 Bend citizens, has been particu larly successful in the last two years, meeting both its goals. One of the main reasons for the success, in addition to the support of the community, is the continuity of the drive.

New tension noted along Berlin border BERLIN (UPU- The British rushed troop and tank reinforce ments to the East-West Berlin bor der today when 500 nrmcd East German people's police appeared suddenly on the opposite side. It was the first time Western allied troops had taken up position on any part of the border since the latest Berlin crisis began eight days ago. Maj. Gen. Sir Roman Dela- combe, the British commander in Berlin, ordered a company of the Welsh Regiment to the border. armed with normal infantry weap ons ana backed by four Cer.tunon tanks and antitank guns. The people's police were armed with machine guns and subma chine guns and appeared opposite tne British sector as East German youths were erecting a new barbed wire barrier in the area. The move came after most of the West Berlin police force was. taken off a "state of alarm" as tension eased in the city. West Berliners took heart from Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson's pledges of support and the appear ance of a reinforced American Army garrison in their midst. The bulk of the free half of the city's policemen went back to routine traffic and patrol duties. Tho Communists continued to re inforce their concrete and barbed wire barrior dividing Berlin.
