Adcock, a lumber com pany employe reported that winds created by flames snap ped an estimated 200 snags in 10 minutes. Other fire fighters said that they saw snags ripped out by the roots and carried through the air by the draft. Stores of dy namite belonging to logging com panies exploded in the fire, add ing to the difficulty. The Tillamook burn fire was the only big fire out of control in Oregon Saturday with the one in the Fremont National Forest northwest of Lakeview held within trails after covering about 3,200 acres. In spite of high winds Friday night that fire was held except at one corner, where a new trail was quickly built. There is a 500-man crew on that fire. Coos Bay Fire Controlled A troublesome fire earlier in the week, the one near Coos Bay in the old Tioga Burn, has been under control the past few days out spotted in a couple of places Friday. However, it was held. The one on Wolf Creek north of Grants Pass also was held all day and all night Friday. In the Salem area firemen from Turner and volunteers Friday night fought a blaze in the Sunnyside district south of Salem, which originated at the Crestwood Acres Girl Scout camp and burned in slash and logged-over land. The Turner fire department sent two trucks onto the fire and were joined by a truck from the war surplus store near Jeffer son and one from the state for estry department. Sunnyside Blaze Burning over about 30 acres tne lire was still burning in snags Saturday and Turner still had two trucks out on it. Sev enty-five to 100 men were fighting the blaze Friday night. Two of those were from the state forestry department and left the fire as soon as it was considered under control. Fire danger in all parts of Oregon continued Saturday and weather reports to the state for estry department were for high er temperatures and lower hu midity Saturday with some east erly winds. ; $10 per Child (Continued from Page 1) $80, increasing the state's bur den for school support and con tended that the counties should pay the $10 county school tax, which the state had carried merely as a relief measure for the counties. $181,340 Total Tax The petition filed Saturday points out that on May 29, 1951, the Lane county court and bud get committee adopted a budget estimate for the 1951-52 fiscal year, in which a levy, of $181, 340 was proposed. The court, the petition states. declared its intention of making up the difference between the levy and the amount required under the $10 county's school tax, by utilizing anticipated re. ceipts from U. S. forest reserves rentals for the school fund. The school district represent atives protested this method and demanded full levy of the $10 county tax. Red China Seizes 3 U. S. Oil Plants Hong Kong, July 21 W The property of three American oil companies in China has been seized by the communists re gime, Peiping radio said today. The companies were Caltex Ltd., Standard Vacuum and Ca thay Oil Co. (Chung Mel). The seizure apparently became ef fective July 18. The properties have been un der strict communist control since last Dec. 29, when Red China ordered the seizure of all American property in China The oil companies apparently were not taken over physically until July 16. The reason for the action was not clear. Only a trickle of Brush and Grass Fire in Sunnyside The Crestwood Girl Scout camp on the George Veall property in the Sunnyside district was in the path of a grass and brush fire that covered 30 acres Friday night. No buildings were burned. In the picture are two members of the Turner fire company which joined with others in fighting the flames. American oil has reached the communist mainland in the past two years, and stocks are report ed very low. There was speculation the Chinese were making a "face- saving" move in connection with Korean war cease-fire talks. Employment in Oregon Gains Employment in Oregon in creased through the early weeks of July despite mid-year vaca tions, woods shutdowns because of low Humidity and the between season lull in harvest activities, the state unemployment compen sation commission said today. Although thousands of house wives, students and migrants en tered the Oregon labor market in the past few weeks, unemploy ment also continued low. Only 3,592 persons filed claims or compensation during the past week, less than half of the 7,534 a year ago during the early weeks of the Korean conflict, and the lowest mid-July figure since the end of World War II, Revised estimates of non-farm employment in June placed the figure at 468,700 above earlier figures and within 10,000 of the all-time high of last Au gust. Tabulations of reports from more than 1,200 representative employers, as gathered by the commission in co-operation with the U. S. bureau of labor statiS' tics, is expected to show the us ual gain for July, while next month's totals should exceed the 478,100 listed last summer. EV' ery month in 1951 has shown an increase of 10 to 40 thousand over previous records, the com mission said. June's total was 17, 300 higher than a year ago. COURT NEWS Circuit Court Cecil A.

Army Airlift (Continued from Page 1) Between Cape Spencer and Yakutat, the Alaska panhandle is studded with towering peaks of the Brabazon range and some of the wildest country of the North American continent. Rain and Fog in Area ' Weather bureau officials said light rain, fog, low clouds and wind covered the area in which the DC-4 vanished. Similar weather conditions prevailed to day, hampering search opera tions. A widespread hunt for the lost plane was launched by the U.S coast guard and the 10th air rescue squadron at Elmendorf. Air force search planes at Mc Chord field, near Tacoma, Wash., and Royal Canadian air force search craft at Vancouver were standing by if needed. Names of the passengers were withheld for notification of next: of kin. The seven crew members, in cluding two stewardesses, all were residents of Vancouver. They were identified by the air lines: Capt. Victor Fox, pilot; Bruce S. Thomson, first officer; E. L. Krausher, second officer; Fred Tupper, radio operator; Arthur Boon, flight engineer; KathleenMoran, first stewardess, and Eva Lee, second stewardess. At the time of its last radioed position report, the DC-4 was about 500 air miles out of An chorage. From Cape Spencer, the course heads out over the Gulf of Alaska for some 400 miles to Whittier on the Alaska main land. F. L. Spencer, public relations officers for the airline here, said the pilot's final mesage shortly after midnight indicated he- was on course and in no difficulty.

Typo Meeting In Session Opening in Salem Saturday afternoon with a business ses sion that convened at 2 o'clock was the quarterly Oregon Typo graphical conference. Here to attend the conference Saturday and Sunday will be delegates from all of the typo graphical unions in Oregon. Sat urday evening the group is en tertaining with a dinner at the delegates and their wives at the Senator hotel, with the dinner to be followed by dancing. Final business session of the group will be Sunday morning, starting at 9 a.m. President of the Oregon group is Dale Salmines of Astoria. Oth er officers are vice president, Herbert Lange of Salem, and secretary-treasurer, Lyle Swet Iand of Eugene. Host for the conference is the Salem local of the typographical union. Red Chinese (Continued from Page 1) He was not brusque but there seemed to be a certain air of fi nality In his general attitude rather than in what he said Nuckols commented. Nuckols said General Nam for the first time was given open guidance by the Chinese Reds, In Nam's Chinese-supplied re ply asking for the recess, Nam "was not bombastic," Nuckols said. As for an overall assessment, Nuckols said "No tangible prog ress was made, yet I think it would be erroneous to say that no progress was made. There was a general air of reasonableness from the North Korea-Chinese delegation." The communists said they wanted the recess "to enable both sides to study the propos als thus far presented." Joy Flies to Ridgway After today's meeting Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief Unit ed Nations negotiator, flew to Tokyo to confer with United Na tions supreme commander Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. Newsmen there asked him if things were going all right and he replied: "I guess so." He had no further comment. Joy was accompanied by Maj. Gen. L. C. Craigie and Rear Adm. Arleigh Burke, two other members of the allied five-man negotiating team. Craigie, in a happy mood, told the Tokyo correspondents: "I can't tell you anything and I wish I could tell you more." The delegates will return to the allied peace camp here on Monday. Allies Sees No Need United Nations headquarters in Tokyo said in a statement the U. N. command agreed to the temporary halt In the talks "al though it sees no need for such a recess in view of the agree ment reached thus far on points it considers necessary for an agenda." A question not immediately answered was: Did that mean that not many points had been agreed upon? Or did it mean that negotia tions had been progressing so smoothly and agreeable that the United Nations delegates saw no reason for any backward looks? At Eighth army headquarters, Associated Press Correspondent Nate Folowetzky said there was speculation that communists needed time to receive further instructions to deal with the U. N. delegation's adamant stand against withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea. Troops Withdrawal Today, for the first time, the United Nations command' dis closed officially that the "basic' issue between the two delega tions was the communist demand for withdrawal of all foreign troops as a condition to a cease fire. An official army statement said: "The senior U. N. com mand delegate requested that communications between the two dclegattions be maintained in order to facilitate a meeting at an earlier date than July 25, is at an possiDie.

La Belle Josephine Giving Up Expatriate Life in Paris BY BILL BECKER (FOR BOB THOMAS) Hnllvwnod. .Tnlv Vft "Two loveB have I." chants Josephine Baker on her triumphant tour of Pa-ree." And America's most famous between-wars expatriate sings It like she means it. La Belle Josephine has been heartened by the reception on her return that she"- says she intends to divide her time henceforth between ine U. S. and France. I am so happy I open my own night club, the Chez Jose phine Baker, in New York in October," she said with Gallic inflections, backstage. "And then, perhaps, there may be Hollywood." After her smash two-week stand here, movie moguls are bidding high for her services The film colony flocked to her local performances, She broke all records for the Hillstreet theater, netting $45, 000 in two weeks for her troupe, Her take was at least $30,000. A fair salary, but just about the way it's been from New York to San Francisco. Staid old Bos ton liked her so well she had to do two stands there Miss Bawer's only regret, she confided with a toss of her foot high Chignon, is that she could not play St. Louis, where she was born "Oh, let's say 45 years ago" the daughter of a Negro policeman and a washer woman. She has positively refused to play to a segregated audience during the 14-week tour, now concluding in San Francisco. Members of her race helped to swell the longest theater queues seen here since the ad vent of television. And she feels strongly her newly realized po tential as a good-will promoter. My greatest desire will al ways be to see my people hap pier in this country," she said. Prejudice, she indicated, is the only reason she stayed abroad so long more than 25 years. - Since 1925, she has been a Parisian favorite, earning fame, fortune and at least three hus bands. Presently married to French Bandleader Jo (Mr. Soup) Bouillon, she lives in a 50-room thirteenth century cha teau. A French maid travels with her. Her business manager, Ned Schuyler, who has been mulling over the movie offers, says: "It isn't a question of whe ther the movies want Josephine, but whether they want her enough to make the kind of movie consistent with her way of thinking on the matter of segregation In other words, no all-Negro musical. Perhaps the best film role for her would be "The Josephine Baker Story," but Hollywood 0 Saturday, July 21, 1951 5 the nation, "My Coun-tree and observers believe that probably will be made in France. She has made four pictures there. Displaying the same sinuos ity that intrigued father in the days when she swung bananas from her G-string, the pride of Paris wowed Hollywood with a subtle mixture of tex, sophisti cation, high fashion and smooth showmanship. None of the natives ever re called hearing or seeing a per former who could sing and shimmy in five languages English, French, Italian, Span ish and Portuguese. Particular ly fluent (and fluid) in a Bra zilian number. Her highly stylized perform ances, obviously developed from cabaret routines, are set off stunningly by a wardrobe of 43 gowns designed for her by six top Parisian courturiers and in sured for $250,000. The women gasp when she nonchalantly tosses an ermine cape on the stage; the men gasp when she begins shaking what surely must be the most ex pressive pair of shoulders on either side of the Atlantic. - Her physical condition at well, let's say 45 is something to amaze even Benarr Macfad dcn. After watching Josephine go through her torrid 20-minute Brazilian routine, backstage ob servers are all in a sweat, too. "I love people and I just can t do anything but my best for them, she says with a wide flash of the Baker teeth. From all signs, America is ready to reclaim Josephine.
