Lumber Unions
For Wage Hike
Eugene, Nov. 2 W) A gener-
al increase for lumber and saw-
mill workers in the Willamette,
valley will be urged continuous-
ly by the Northwest Council of
Lumber and Sawmill Workers,
and its local unit, the willam-
ette Valley District council, ac-
cording to a statement made this
week by hldon Kraal, secretary
of the Willamette group.
He also announced that t h c
local council plans to set up a
political education committee,
and to recommend establishment
of similar committees by local
unions.
Kraal said that "owing to con
tinued ability of the industry to
pay, and the continued high liv
ing costs, the council instructed
the negotiating committee to co
operate with adjoining district
councils and the northwest coun
cil in continuing negotiations for
a general wane increase for
northwest lumber workers and
also to negotiate for fringe is
sues." . Local representatives will at
tend a meeting of the northwest
council in Seattle this week-end.
Timber Sale
Program Okay
At the meeting of the Salem
district advisory board of the
bureau of land management held
in Salem on October 27, action
was taken to recommend ap
proval of the timber sale pro
gram for the calendar year 1950
Contemplated sales include
timber on O & C lands in Co
lumbia, Tillamook Washington
Yamhill, Polk, Benton, Lincoln.
Linn, Marion, Clackamas and
Multnomah counties.
According to District Forester
A. P. Collins of Salem, indica
tions of Interest had been re
ceived for approximately 50
million feet of timber, but the
1950 sales program has been
prepared to offer for sale ap
proximately 80 million feet The
lands included within the Sa
lem forest district will support
an annual cut of 112 million feet
upon a sustained yield basis.
The problem of gaining ac
cess to timbered areas was dis
cussed at some length. The dis
trict forester said that new
right-of-way regulations were
being formulated by Regional
Administrator Daniel L, Goldy,
and the advisory board request
ed that It be given an opportuni
ty to review the proposed regu
lations prior to their adoption.
Under present policies timber
may not be offered for sale
where open comprtitlve bidding
may not be possible.
Devers
Prepari
mg
Model
Highway
Law
J. M. Devers, attorney for the
itate highway commission, is
preparing a model law on or
ganization of state highway de
partments. Devers, who is chairman of
the legal affairs committee of
the National Association of State
Highway Officials, said the law
would be considered by the as
sociation next spring. If it is ap
proved there, then It will be sub
mitted to each state, with a sug
gestion that each state adopt it.
Devers said many states arei
backward and ancient In their
laws on highway construction
and location. He sniri much bet
ter results could be obtained if
each state had the same, mod
ern law for its own highway de
partment. Devers also is preparing a
proposed uniform law for all;
counties to use In all states In
connection with acquiring rights
of way for county roads.

Britons Gasp at
Margaret's Fag
London, Nov. 2 Pi Princess
Marjaret smoked a cigarette
right nut m public early today,
It was a bit of a shock to the
British. It was the first time
any commoner ever saw one of
the royal family's distaff side
puffing tobacco smoke.
Pretty 19-year-old Margaret
did it at a Halloween charity
ball at the fashionable Dorches-
'er hotel,
Only last week a Buckingham
Palace press officer admitted to
'newsmen that Margaret lighted
j a cigarette once in a while. But
he said it was only in private
and "Just for a lark."
The qucsion came up when
the palace released to the news
papers a photograph of Princess
Elizabeth's sitting room. On
the desk were a packet of
matches and an ash tray.
The palace press officer de-
jclined to be pinned down when
asked whether that means the
heiress to the throne is a secret
smoker.
He said positively that Queen
Elizabeth never smokes. King
George VI, he added, does so
only rarely.
Margaret coolly lighted up
shortly after midnight at the
Dorchester party. With her
were Sharman Douglas, daugh
ter of the U. S. ambassador, and
a party of 22.
Sharmnn's escort was Captain
Henry Montgomerie-Charrlng-ton.
Gasps were heard on all sides
when the guests saw Margaret
puffing away.
Indian Summer
Weather Prevails
Salemitps enjoyed another
day of balmy fall temperatures
Wednesday, with prospects the
good weather would continue
another day.
In explanation of the ideal
weather, the weather bureau
reports a high pressure zone has
been hanging over the Oregon
California border and forcing
warm air northward.
Whatever the cause, local folk
were enjoying the weather any
way, Tuesday's maximum went
to 68 degrees and today's mini
mum kept well above the freez
ing mark at 37. Rainfall is be
hind schedule for the season so
far, the total for the weather
year (which begins September
1) being 3.68 inches as against
a normal of 4.87 inches.
California Brush
Fire Under Control
Los Angeles, Nov. 2 (IP) After
burning 17.000 acres and de
stroying at least 10 residences In
Los Angeles and Ventura coun
ties, a menacing brush fire was
brought under control today bv
hundreds of federal, state and
county workers and volunteers.
The fire started Monday night
near Santa Susan pass, about 35
miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Light winds from the Mojave
desert swept the flames through
tinder-dry brushland. Several
homes in Box Canyon were de
si royod ns residents were forced
to floe.
Thousand Oaks, scene of an
animal compound where hun
dreds of lions, tigers, elephants
and otlwrs are kept for movie
studios,
was threatened for a
time last night by the rampant
flames.
At one time the fire was also
within 400 yards of North Amer
ican Aviation's hush-hush rocket
motor laboratory.
Domestic breeds of chickens
descended from the Jungle fowl
of India.

Revision of Livestock
Disease Control Discussed
After an all morning meeting Wednesday with cattlemen, coun
ty veterinarians and members of the livestock disease control
committee for the county, the county court took under advise
ment until November 20 a revision of regulations covering Bangs
disease control as urged by the disease control committee.
One sharp difference develop
ed at the session. The disease
control committee in its recom
mendations asked that two ad
ditional veterinarians be added
to the testing staff making six.
that the county be cut into six
districts for testing purposes, a
county veterinarian be assign
ed to each one and be made re
sponsible for the testing in his
district.
At present there are four vet
erinarians doing the testing,
one county veterinarian and
the others deputies. The veter
inarians said they thought that
the field could be covered
amply by the four and that the
addition of the other two is un
necessary. However, disease
control committee members
stick for their recommendation.
County Judge Murphy let it
be known that while the court
is taking the whole program as
recommended by the committee
under advisement nevertheless
if the committee wishes to it can
go ahead and cut up the county
into the tentative areas for as
signment of the six veterinarians.
It is likely at its November 20
meeting it will decide whether
to accept these suggestions or
stick to the present four veter
inarians. Other recommendations made
by the committee also were
mulled over and reviewed from
a past meeting.

- THE NEW
'nstitution Bad
Sirls Get Tougher
There aren't as many
jirls as there are bad boys,
bad
, but
the girls are getting tougher.
William Ryan, state super
visor of institutions, gave that
information to the state board
of control today.
Kyan said there are morw
tough girls at the state Hillcrest
school for girls than there ever
had been before, even though
the total number of girls in the
school has not increased. The
school has 55 girls, compared
with the 130 boys at the state
school for boys at Woodburn.
The subject came up when the
board voted to take two girls
out of the school and send them
back to the Multnomah and
Lane county circuit courts. The
girls are a bad influence on the
other girls, and the school can't
do anything for them.
The courts will have to de
cide what to do with them.

III I I Will i 1SU JHIVJ
New York, Nov. 2 UP) Bright
er prospects for Industrial peace
attracted heavy buying in the
stock market today and sent
prices upward by fractions to
more than a point.
On average, the market at
tained another new high for the
year.
A few of the higher priced is
sues spurted 3 and 4 points on
the move.
The volume of trading hit a
rate of 1.600,000 shares for
the entire day, one of the best
sessions of the year.
Steels, motors and chemicals
led the advance. The railroad
group was slow in joining in the
rise and most of the leaders were
up fractions to about a point.
Oils also were slow but gained
fractions. Air lines and the gold
issues were mostly unchanged to
lower.
Stocks going higher includes
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel,
General Motors, Chrysler, Santa
Fe, Goodrich, Douglas Aircraft,
Zenith Radio, Allied Chemical,
Du Pont, Standard Oil (NJ), and
Johns Manville.

the Elks annual Christmas cha
rity show this year will be an
other rousing fine performance.

of this year's show will be a
musical comedy with a western

Truman Sees Greater Deficit;
n9 congress Looms
Washington, Nov. 2 (IP) President Trumin'i forecast that the
government will run $5i billions further into the red this fiscal
year set the stage today for a rousing taxes-vs. -spending battle
in congress.
The president now figures:
1. Federal spending will soar
to a peacetime record of $43,
500.000,000 in this fiscal year,
which ends next June 30. This is
equivalent to $290 for each man,
woman and child in the country,
or nearly one-fourth of the na
tional income.
2. The government will be
plunged $5,500,000,000 in the
red because its income will to
tal only $38,000,000,000 with tax
rates what they are now. This
would place the federal debt
next June 30 at approximately
$26(f,000,000,000.
Mr. Truman's new spending
forecast was made yesterday in
a revision of his estimates last
January on federal financial op
erations in the 12 months ending
next June 30.
The forecast anticipates that
the 81st congress will add $4,
000,000,000 in spending author
izations between next January
and July to supplement the bil
lions it authorized at its recent
ly concluded session.
The administration figures
that congress practically com
mitted itself to providing the ex
tra funds when it enacted or let
stand the program of activities
on which the spending would be
incurred.
Some top congressional figures
on the democratic as well as the
republican side gave some show
of thinking otherwise when Mr.
Truman said raising taxes is the
only way he knows to balance
the budget.
They said a better way to bal
ance the budget is to cut spend
ing and congress, meeting next
in an election year, is more like
ly to reduce taxes than raise
them.
The president's revised fig
ures, however, attested to the
collapse of "economy drive"
talk that reached a high pitch
several times in congress this
year.
Pranksters Absent

uneventful night.
Catholics of Lebanon observ

Indian Problem
Told Rotary
That the merging of the In
dian into the white man's civil
ization, while retaining much of
his philosophy of life is to be
preferred to the system which
keeps him on the reservation.
is the belief of Dr. Henry Roe
Cloud, representative of the In
dian service stationed In the
northwest.
In a talk concerning the fate
of the Indian, Dr. Roe Cloud,
himself a full blooded Winna-
bego. told members of the Sa
lem Rotary club that it has been
demonstrated that the original
American can adapt himself to
other ways of life if given the
opportunity. He mentioned the
five nations in Oklahoma and
the six nations in New York
which have merged with the
whites with much success.
Intermarriage with the whites
is gradually solving the "Indian
problem" said the speaker. The
Indian blood is becoming dilut
ed to the extent that the time
is not far distant when the full
blood will be something of a
curiosity.
The ruthless march of civiliza
tion across the continent was
something the Indian could not
ward off and he must make the
best of it, although he is capable
of adding culture to the white
man's way of life.
