Replace Weaver
Portland, May 27 VP) Col. O,
E. Walsh, Portland district en
gineer, was promoted today to
north Pacific division engineer,
succeeding Col. Theron D. Wea
ver. Weaver, who haa been divi
sion head since it was reactivat
ed in 1946, will be reassigned to
an overseas post In the Euro
pean command. The change will
take place about July 1.
Walsh's successor as district
engineer has not yet been nam

Panama Canal zone yesterday.
He is being replaced by E. C.
Itchner, present head of the en
gineers' military construction

Weaver's European job will
not be new to him. He served in
the European theatre during

many. Long Session
For Congress
Washington, May 27 VP) Con
gress may be asked to work
well into the sizzling Washing
ton summer to put through more
of president Truman's broad leg
islative program.
Mr. Truman said as much yes
terday. He told a news con
ference he hopes to see a major
part of his program enacted
oelore congress quits and then
added flntlv that tMa rfnam't
mean congress will adjourn
Julv 31. Some memher haw
talked about such a quitting
date.
House Speaker Rayburn (D.,
lex.), commented:
"Before congress adjourns it
is ffoinff to enact a vprv full
and constructive program. There
nas been no agreement among
icaaers of congress and the
White House for the pvplnalnn
of any legislation."
Newsmen generally got the
impression from Senator Lucas
(D.. 111. I. in tnllrintr urtih
Tuesday, that only three ma
jor measures remain on the sen
ate's "must" list for this ses
sion. But both Lucas, who is
the democratic leader in the sen
ate, and the president said yes
terday that was the wrong im
pression. Mr. Truman tnlH hla nwm
conference he still stands for
everything in the nmmm h
presented in January. And he
saia some news accounts of the
Lucas interview which occur
red after conffresslnnnl lpnrtitre
conferred at the White House
do not agree with Lucas' own
version.

Sustained Yield
For Lumber Told
The program of sustained
yield which the federal gov
ernment is attempting to carry
out in connection wtih the re
vested O & C lands was explain
ed during Friday's luncheon
meeting of the Salem Board of
Realtors by A. P. Collins, dis
trict forester with the bureau of
land management of the depart
ment of the interior.
Sustained yield management
has been complicated by reason
of the checkerboard ownership,
with existing holdings being in
terspersed with private, state
and federal owners. Where large
plots are held under a single
ownership the problem la a sim
ple one of gearing the cut to the
rate of growth.
This formula was thrown out
of line during the war years and
since because of the extraordin
ary demand for lunmber, said
Collins. The speaker told of the
various methods of cutting used
to bring about the best results
in reseeding. Douglas fir calls
for a "clear cut" plan while yel
low pine can be harvested on a
selective basis.
