I I me s 'W' Logging Truck Limits to Go nto Effect on August 2nd BY WILLIAM WARREN (United Pres. suff Correspondent) Oregon's important logging industry begins tapering off from overloading Aug. 2 with a "bit of the hair of the dog" under what might be termed the state's first "hangover provision." An act passed by the 1951 legislature and becoming effective on that date, 90 days after adjournment of the legislature, event ually will limit Suds Bow to Stars in PC Feature; Bevos Lose (By th. Associated Press) Standing room only crowds were the weekend prospect to day for the remaining three games in the Seattle-Hollywood series, which now stands at one victory apiece. The two Pacific coast league pennant contenders played to a gathering of 14,028 partisans last night, a season record at Sick's Seattle stadium. The weekend day games figure to draw even more. This time, the Seattle faith ful watched their beloved Rainiers succomb by 5-3 to the second place Hollywoods, who ' moved to within three games of first place. The villain of the piece was outfielder Re sielli, who decided the issue with a two run homer in the eighth inning. Action late in the game broke up a scoreless pitching duel which lasted through six innings. Pinky Woods was the winner and Paul Calvert, the victim of Hol lywood's uprising in the eighth, was charged with the loss. It was the feature exercise in an evening which also produced a 10 inning thriller at Los An geles and a Frank Merriwell fin ish at Oakland. Los Angeles was the victor in the overtime affair, edging San Diego by 7-6 on little Red Hoi- lis' run producing single with two away in the bottom of the 10th. At Oakland, it was Lloyd Christopher who supplied the story book ending. With the score tied at 1-all in the last of the ninth, Christopher came in as a pinch hitter with a man on a base and lambasted a home run that gave the Oaks a 3-1 win over Sacramento. San Francisco, meanwhile, deluged the Portland Beavers with eight runs in the first in ning and went on to win in a waiK, 11-3. xwo roruana pitchers, Roy Helser and Red Adams, were dispatched in the carnage, and before the fame finally ended, a total of five Portland hurlers had seen service. Lloyd Dickey went the route for the Seals and chucked shutout ball until the Beavers got to him in the seventh. Saturday's probable starters include: Hollywood at Seattle Johnny Lindell (9-5) vs. Skinny Brown (9-4). San Francisco at Portland Lou Burdette (1-10) vs. Marino Pieretti (10-11).

Vernon, Wash., July 21 (U.R) The largest king salmon ever caught in the Skagit river by a sports fisherman using hook and line was landed near here yesterday. Harold Crane, Mt. Vernon, caught the whopper which weighed 64 pounds. He said he used an "Otto's Bear Valley spoon" and a nickel and red spinner. He said he landed the fish in "the Incredibly short time" of 30 minutes. Crane was fishing near the mouth of the North Fork of the Skagit when the. big fish hit and ran. Sammy Baugh, the great foot ball player with the Washington Redskins, was hurt on the first play of the first game he played as a professional. He Has Reason To Hafe Wafer Kansas City, Kan., July 21, (U.R) "I hate water!" And 48-year-old Joe Conkin has a good reason for hating it. He was trapped for six days in second-story room by flood waters that swept into Kansas City. Conkin, recovering in a hos pital, told a reporter he was trapped Friday and remained without food until rescued yes terday. I hate water. I'm scared to death of it," he said in an inter view with the Kansas City Star. "But the first thing I'm going to do when I get out of this hos pital is learn to swim, "I can't swim a stroke now. And I thought I was done for when I woke up and saw water all around the bed. Why it was even over the foot of the bed, "I climbed on top of a chest of drawers and prayed that the water would stop before it got that far, Conkin said the water leveled off before submerging the chest of drawers. "I heard fellows in boats and saw a few off east, but I couldn't make them hear me. I hollered but it didn't do any good. "When the, water went on down, I still couldn't get out, The guys who got me out today had to break down the door, the mud was so thick on the floor and outside. "I guess everybody thought had drowned. And I wouldn't have given much myself for my Nil 4 wnil.m Kirni loads for all trucks to 18,000 pounds a single axle and 32,000 pounds tandem axle weight. But in order to give smaller haulers plenty of time to get new equipment, the state is al lowing 19,000 pounds on the single axle and 36,000 pounds on the tandem axle for small trucks. Or a two- thousand ton "hangover" until the overloading no longer is given tolerance. V There is little likelihood that the law will be held up by refer. ral to the voters. Shortly after the legislature adjourned pre liminary petitions were filed for referral of both the weight limiting bill, House bill 462, and truck rate increasmg act. House bill 465. But the origin al petitioners did not push either and HB46S, as it is known in the trade, got a preliminary petition slapped on it by the Oregon Petroleum Carriers Conference, Inc., with headquarters in Port land. And so far as George C, Hester, Jr., assistant office en gineer for the state highway de- partment, can learn, the petition against HB 462 has not been pushed. He says he has heard of no effort to get a completed petition in, which must be done by Aug. 1 to halt the bill until it is voted on by the people. Victory Changes Walcott Outlook But Not Walcott By SCOTT BAILL1E (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, July 21. (U.R) The world was in the palm of Jersey Joe Walcott's horny hand today, a world he used to see through a window draped with burlap, but the new heavyweight champion only wanted to get home to Camden. There' will be no eight cylin der dolls or super-charged velets for ancient Joe, whose first thoughts in and out of the ring always have been of his family and his God. A devout Meth odist, 37-year-old Walcott train ed for his stunning knockout of Ezzard Charles with the usual Bible at his side. And with his trust in the Lord he became the oldest fighter to win the heavy weight title since Bob Fitzsim- mons took the wraps off the solar plexus punch back in 1887. Incidentally, many observers say that year is the closer to Wal cott's birthday. Until Wednesday night, hop ing for the best and getting the worst had been routine stuff in the life of Jersey Joe nee Ar nold H, Cream. The first time Walcott met Joe Louis for the title, Jersey prayed in his dressing room for five minutes, decked the bomber twice, and lost a roundly-booed decision. He knocked Louis down again never can change, in their second bout but was flattened himself for the full count. Then came two defeats at the hands of Charles and a surprising upset by Bex Layne, the green kid from Utah. But, with some of his family watch ing on television in Camden, Joe just had to make it this time. Arnold Cream began to know what hard times were like when he came home one evening at the age of 12 and was told there was no dinner. Soon he learned that he would have to support the home folks with his fists. He knocked out Cowboy Wallace at 16 after working out in a gym where Jack Johnson and Sam Langford once trained. Proud of his West Indian blood, cream took the name of Walcott in honor- of that great fighter from the Barbadoes. One day the original Joe came to him and said "Son, you are the only fighter who has taken my name who I am proud car ries it." Jack Blackburn took over as Walcott's manager after seeing him beat Wallace, then was called away to Detroit to handle an amateur sensation named Jo seph Louis Barrow. Walcott was to come too, but caught the typhoid fever. By the time he recovered, Blackburn was com pletely booked up with his new charge. Jersey Joe, who has made $90 a week in shipyards and $9.50 on relief actually knocked Louis down four times in his life. He first levelled Louis in 1936 when the bomber was training for his ill-starred bout with Max Schmeling. The next day Wal cott was given a check for $25 and told his services no longer were needed. Lack of experienced managers and downright discouragement caused Jersey Joe to retire six times between 1930 and, 1941 Under Felix Bocchicchio, who talked him back into fighting, Walcott finally got started. Boc chicchio found him living in delapidated shack. The address is different now but the fighter Pefain Reported Sinking Rapidly Paris, July 21 ff) The con dition of Henri Philippe Petain, 95-year-old chief of France dur ing the nazi occupation, was re ported steadily worsening today. His lawyer, Jacques Isorni, said he and members of Petain' family were leaving today for the lie de Yeu, off the west coast of France, where Petain is hos pitalized. Petain recently was moved to the hospital from a prison cell where he was serving a life sen tence for treason. highway commission to deter mine adequacy of coupling devices. 5 Sets up new penalties for violations of act with minimum and maximum fines for viola tions other than weight provis ions, and sets up minimum pen alties for weight violations based on amount of violation and whether violation is of a posted load limit. 6 Gives weighmasters limit ed police powers with respect to making arrests for violations. Authorizes weighmasters to re quire that vehicles to be driven to scales if within five miles in stead of two miles, under the present statute. 7 Clarifies applicability of the statute as to county or city authority, and as to exemption of federal, state, county or city- owned vehicles. - Curiously, the loggers differ from all other truck, haulers on the two bills, sometimes known as the rate and weight acts. The petroleum and freight haulers aren't interested in weights be yond the 76,000 pounds, which will be the limit for any kind of truck. They don't haul that heavy. The loggers do. In fact on some of the trucks built for the industry, if it weren't for limiting regulations drawn up to save wear on the highways, they could haul 150,000 to 200, 000 pounds on a single load. On the other hand, the log gers raised no objection in high er plate fees, but the other truckers did, particularly the petroleum carriers. That, though, is another story, one to be told in a subsequent column, HB462 was passed only after prolonged study and struggle and the logging people justifi ably fought for every pound they could get. What the new law does, says Hester, is to re place an older one that had be come so unwieldly even the courts couldn't agree on its pro visions. The old law allowed for "tolerance" of overloading so that no one knew just what the legal limit was and where the illegal overload started There is no. "tolerance" of overloading under HB462 ex cept for the "hangover" two thousand pounds for the small trucks until July 1, 1953. Here's what HB462 does 1 I ncreases basic law weight from 54,000 to 60,000 pounds. Limits single axle weight to 18,000 pounds and tandem axle weight to 32,000 pounds. Eliminates formulas in the old statute and requires conformance to new table of permissible weights. Large log ging trucks are permitted to have 34,000 pounls on either tandem axle, provided the other tandem axle load does not ex ceed 32,000 pound. Until July 1, 1953, small trucks are per mitted to have 19,000 pounds on the single axle and 36,000 pounds on the tandem axle 2 Establishes new table of permissible weights, including groups of axles up to 18 feet, to maximum of 76.000 pounds, eliminating former tolerances Provides authority for the high way commission, counties and cities to issue permits for widths up to 8 feet for transporta tion of short logs or lumber products loaded crosswise on solo truck. 3 Allows 100 inches of width for tires. Increases legal height limit without permit from 11 to 1214 feet. Changes amount of rear overhang allowed. 4 Limits number of vehicles in a combination. Provides for use of safety chains.

Church Complete Service All Makes - Body, Fender and Paint Home of Hudson and good used cars AUTO WRECKERS Oil and Natural Gas Men All Clamoring for More Steel BY SAM DAWSON New York. July 21 Vf) The rassle for steel is on. The oil, auto, and natural gas industries are all clamoring at once today for a ereater share. Numerous civilian goods Industries would line more. At stake the industries say is whether there'll be enough fuel oil and gas next winter to ride out any prolonged cold spell, and keep all homes warm, all1 factories operating. There is even talk of possible rationing of fuel in some areas next winter. Also at stake is whether you can put a gas burner in your new house. Oilmen say they must have more steel pipe if they are to find, refine and trans port enough gasoline, home heat ing fuel oil, and oil for heavy industry to meet rising military and civilian demands. The auto industry Is cutting back production for lack of steel and the number of idle workmen in Detroit continued to grow. And lay-offs have been wide spread in the electrical appliance industry. The defense production admin istration says there just isn't enough of some kinds of steel products to go around and meet every one's full needs and desires. . . The worst of the shortage, however, may be over much sooner than was first xearea Steelmen say production is in- creasing at such a rate thanks to a record expansion program that there will be plenty of steel for all in the first part of next year. Some have even pre dicted a surplus next year. The next three months, though, will see a real pinch, al though steelmen think that from October on they'll be producing enough steel so that civilian eoods industries may get larger quotas than this summer but still not as much as they'd like, Oilmen are clamoring for more steel plate from wnicn are made the pipes they need for their own record expansion program. Defense officials how ever, say that less than 2.5 mil lion tons will be available dur ing the last quarter of the year, and that demand for It exceeds three million tons. The oil and natural gas industries were al located 1.5 million tons of steel of all types, Including plate, this quarter.
