Oil Test Well
Down 3804 Ft.
Portland, Ore., Aug. 14 U.
Drilling on a wildcat oil test in
the Clatskanie region has reach
ed a depth of 3804 feet, Texas
company officials said today.
A core drill is being run
ahead of the rotary bit at cer
tain intervals to guard against
sudden tapping of a high pres
sure reservoir which might
damage the work done and to
gain information on formations
which might be encountered.
Formation specimens are first
examined by geologists at the
drilling site and then sent to the
company laboratory at Los An
geles, for further examination.
Drilling at the Clatskanie site
began July 2. It was pointed
out that the depth already
reached could mean that oil was
close or that It was still many
thousand feet under or that
there was no oil there at all.
Order Cuts Coos
Assessments
The state tax commission to
day ordered the Coos county
board of tax equalization to re
consider before August 18 its
order which had increased tim
ber assessments In Coos county
by 100 percent, and to decrease
that assessment.
The order, issued after a
group of timber owners had pro
tested to the tax commission,
provided:
1. Assessed valuations of all
standing timber In the county,
except Port Orford cedar, be re
duced by 40 percent;
2. That all 1945 assessments
of Port Orford cedar remain as
now appearing.
3. And that the 40 percent re
duction of valuations will apply
to the timber of each and every
owner and not merely to the
timber of the men who appealed
to the commission.
Appeals from the board of
equalization's ruling In Coos
county had been registered by
the Coos Bay Lumber company,
the I. L. Logging company, Inc.,
Irwin and Lyons. Menasha
Wooden Ware company, Smith
Wood Products, Inc., W. T. Cul
ver company, and Weyerhaeu
ser Timber company.
The ordered reduction is
equivalent to a 40 percent re
duction from the 1945 assess
ment, but remains a 20 percent
increase over the 1944 rate.
The board had made the in
crease due to wartime condi
tions, it said.

Asks Aid for
Lumbermen
Washington, Aug. 14 WP)
Senator Mitchell (D., Wash.)
asked War Mobilizatidn Direc
tor John W. Snyder today to
help expedite return of the Pa
cific northwest lumber indus
try to peace time production.
He requested that the army
release heavy-duty tractors and
trains earmarked for military
use, that the army and navy
needs be reassessed to permit
the release of lumber for ur
gent civilian demands, and that
the war manpower commission
state is postwar policy regard
ing employment In sawmills
and logging operations.
"The reconversion and de
mobilization of the Pacific
northwest are going to be es
pecially acute because of the
heavy concentration of war in
dustries in that area," Mitchell
wrote. "The lumber Industry
will need to work at full capa
city to supply deferred civilian
needs This will afford
employment for returning vet
erans and men from the war
industry."
Mitchell also made public a
letter to Price Administrator
Chester .Bowles suggesting that
the OPA delegate greater au
thority to its state and regional
offices.
He also urged that OPA
adopt "a more realistic policy
which exempts as many items
as possible."

County Can't
Buy Grader
The war production board has
rejected an application of the
county court to purchase a new
caterpillar motor road grader
in face of information by the
county it Is so badly needed It
might be necessary to cancel
some log hauling permits due to
conditions of the road, unless
the permission to purchase the
machinery was granted. The
members of the court stated to
day that they will file a new
application in face of changing
conditions. The machine, if
purchased, would have cost
$6750 Peoria, the shipping
point.
In its application to the war
production board the county
court stated that the new road
grader was needed to replace
several graders now 10 years
old and completely worn out.
The application asserted that
the situation In the county Is so
serious that unless the equip
ment is secured it might be nec
essary to cancel a great many
truck permits. It is cited that
in 1944 approximately 220,000,
000 feet of logs were hauled
over forest to mill roads In Mar
ion county and that in addition
there are a number of sawmills
in the county hauling finished
lumber. In addition attention
was called to 11 canneries and
the huge crops of vegetables,
fruits, flax, hops and other prod
ucts to which roads are essen
tial.
In face of the showing, how
ever, the war production board
stamped the application as not
making a sufficient showing as
to the essential need lor the
grader.

proached by Bolton who In
quired whether a bus had been
reported stolen. The officers
had heard of no theft of tha
kind. Bolton said he had fol
lowed one into the city from
the north that was being driven
without lights, and he followed
it until it stopped on Cherry
avenue. He saw no one leave
the bus, he said.
The officers checked with
headquarters and were told a
bus had been reported stolen
in Portland. They drove to
Cherry avenue and found that
the number of the vehicle
checked with that of the bus
reported stolen. The police in
formed the Oregon Motor Stages
office here, and Dispatcher Mar
vin Sullivan and a driver took
charge of the bus.
Russian Armies
(Continued from Page 11
Marshal Rodlon Y. Malinov
sky's Transbalkal army Was
moving steadily towards the
Darien-Shihcan railroad In
northern Manchuria and the
latest Russian communique
placed these forcse within 47
miles of Taoan, a large Junction
city. Capture of this hub by the
Russians would leave tens of
thousands of Japanese troops In
northern Manchuria without rail
communication and would speed
their entrapment.
Japanese broadcasts said that
Hsinking, capital of Manchuria,
which was blasted by soviet
bombers along with other stra
tegic rail centers, was being
evacuated.
Malinovsky's horsemen cap
tured Wenchuan (Aershan), ter
minus of a rail line to Hsinking,
and other of his troops pressed
forward along western stretches
of the Chinese railroad, taking
Mientuho, 350 miles northwest
of Hapsin and 45 miles from
Pokotu pass, heavily fortified
gap through the great Khlnghan
mountain range.
Other Landings
Tokyo broadcasts said the
Russians went ashore on Kara
futo at Ambetsu and at Esu
toru, south of the heavily for
tified border which separates
the Japanese half of the Island
from the Russian-owned north
ern half.
These landings apparently
were designed to outflank the
fortifications. This reported in
vasion followed the capture by
Russian marines of the Japanese
naval ports of Rashin and Yuki
on Korea, about 90 miles south
west of Vladivostok.

Unemployment
(Continued from Page 1)
Today's reconversion scene al
so included these other develop
ments;
1. It was learned that John W
Snyder, director of war mobili
zation and reconversion, is pre-
paring a general statement on
reconversion policy. This state
ment will set the pace for an
expected flurry of other pro
nouncements from federal agen
cies on their own roles.
2. Dr. George W. Taylor,
chairman of the war labor
board, said he thinks there will
be "no rash of strikes" after
victory over Japan.
3. Officials acquainted with
the subject said wage controls
might be eased somewhat In the
near future but that no radical
revision of the little steel wage
formula Is likely. They said
employers and workers might
be allowed to negotiate wage in
creases in eases where the ad
justments wouldn't lead to price
rises. The little steel formula
holds basic wage rales to 15
percent above January, 1941,
levels.
4. War agencies continued to
relax restrictions a little at a
lime. Used truck tires were re
moved from rationing. So were
passenger car tires made from
reclaimed rubber. And so
were moccasin-type house slip
pers, even though they may
have light leather soles.
