ing the controversial newspaper,
Overseas Weekly, and will report
to the Pentagon in about two

the Army's new chief of informa
tion, also said that as far back
as 1953 an "attempt" was made
to discontinue both the printing
and distribution of the weekly by
the Stars and Stripes.
He said lhat move was based
on a belief that Overseas Weekly
"no longer contributed" to the in
formation and education of troops.
The printing setup was discontin
ued at that time, he said.
Dodge gave the Information to
a Senate subcommittee studying
alleged muzzling of the anti-Communist
statements by military
leaders. Dodge appeared to dis

installations under contract with

Lumber situation
receiving study
WASHINGTON (UPD-Rep. Ed
win R. Durno, R-Ore., said today
he had been informed the Com

various legislative proposals to
help lower transportation costs for
the American lumber industry.
Durno said he was told of the
study by Commerce Secretary
Luther Hodges in reply to a letter
in which Durno had asked help
for the industry.
Lumber producers contend they
cannot compete with Canadian
producers on the U. S. East Coast
market because the Canadians
can ship lumber on foreign ves
sels with lower cargo rates.
Several West Coast congress
men, including Durno, have in
troduced legislation proposing
various methods for lower ship
ping costs for the American lum

Smylie urges
'secessionists'
BOISE (UPI)-Gov. Robert E.
Smylie advised some of Idaho's
unhappy neighbors today that if
they really want to secede from
Oregon to join Idaho quickly while
there still is enough water.
A. R. Herndobler, Milton-Free-
water, Ore., wired Smylie Mon
day inviting him to attend a
"tear shedding party" this Satur
day to "commiserate over the
fate of Eastern Oregon soon to
be disenfranchised and left vote
less in the legislative halls at
Salem.
"Among those invited to this
party are 14 presidents of state
organizations residing in our
county as well as the legislators
and press, Herndobler said.
"One of the alternatives to be
presented is the possibility of se
ceding from Oregon and joining
Idaho."
Smylie, thanking Herndobler for
the invitation, said that "I am
not well advised concerning the
problem but thought I should ad
vise you that here in Idaho we
are always inviting people to
come up and see us.
"I see no reason why we should
vary our invitation just because
you want to bring your own real
estate," Smylie said.
"If secede you must, then join
us quickly while we still have
enough water.

Intrastate,
phone tolls
to be lower
SALEM (UPI) Bell telephone
users in Oregon will benefit by a
$500,000 cut in intrastate toll
rates, Gov. Mark Hatfield said
today.
Intrastate means calls within
the state.
Hatfield said he has asked Jo
nel C. HiU, public utility com
missioner, to take immediate
steps to effect a decrease in such
long distance rates.
The reduction comes as a re
sult of a national $46 million year
ly agreement between the Bell
System, and the National Asso
ciation of Railroad and Public
Utility Commissioners. Bell is
shifting that amount in revenue
requirements from its intrastate
to interstate operations.
"We have been concerned with
and have consistently wDiked for
a solution to the problem of intra
state toll disparity it is grati
fying to see that at last part of
the disparity will be removed,"
Hatfield said.
