Estes Kefau ver said he "believes in fair em ployment practices" and would "whole-heartedly" support FEPC if it is in the Democratic plat form, but that it is not the "best approach to a different problem which varies from state to state." Stevenson Gov. Adlai . E. Stevenson of Illinois said that "while I appreciate deeply the talk of a write-in campaign on my behalf" in his state's Tues day primary, "the fact remains that I am a candidate for gover nor and cannot therefore ap prove a campaign to write in my name for president." Harriman Mutual Security Administrator W, Averell Harri man, mentioned as a possible favorite son candidate from New York, said he isn't seeking the nomination, but "it would be an honor for any citizen." REPUBLICANS Taft Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio said he is the "sole Repub lican candidate who is criticiz ing" the Truman administration and that "any Democrat elected would be hampered by its past record." Eisenhower Sen. Henry Ca bot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts said his talks with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in Paris had fea tured a discussion of pre-conven-tion strategy, and he would meet with the general again Monday Stassen Harold E. Stassen said he is "not throwing my strength behind General Eisen hower. A vote for Stassen is a vote for Stassen." Sam Taylor Takes Office As President of SOCTFA Sam Taylor, Route 2, Med ford, Friday was installed as president of the Southern Ore gon Conservation and Tree Farm association for the coming year. Taylor, who represents Elk Lum ber company, succeeds Richard Reynen, Ashland, in the posi tion. Other new officers of the or ganization include B. L. Nutting, Medford, vice - president; Tom Mehl Jr., Glendale, vice-president; Mel McGrew, who was renamed treasurer; and Ed Pease, Bill Lingaas, Jack Crump, Bill Hunter and Reynen, mem bers of the board of directors. Lewis L. Simpson, Medford, is secretary-manager of the associ ation. Highlighting the regular meet ing was a discussion of methods of obtaining funds for forest fire protection in Oregon. Members and guests outlined such meth ods as expanding local facilities through increased cooperation in all. sections of the state, in creased state protection to be paid for through an increased severance tax and other similar plans. Simpson explained to mem bers of the association that pur pose of the discussion was not to reach an immediate conclusion on the problem but to gather ideas on the matter before the next meeting of the state legis lature. He pointed out that Gov, Douglas McKay, in a recent talk before the Keep Oregon Green state committee, stated that 50 per cent of the state's income is derived from the lumber indus try. Simpson stated that, with this in mind, the lumber industry must obtain the rights it de serves from the state. He warned however, against abusing these rights and taking advantage of lumber s dominant position in the state. The round table discussion on the fire protection and taxation questions was conducted by Nut- Xing. In other business, Claude Da vis, president of the Southern Oregon Truckers league and dis trict governor of Oregon Trans port Truck Operators, explained the backgrounds and purposes of OTTO and urged local lum bermen to support the organization. Simpson told members that the state legislature's interim high way committee will be in Med ford May 3. He urged SOCTFA members to be present at the committee s hearing in an effort to find solutions to defects in highway legislation passed dur ing the last session.

DoGtello Gonvieted On Contempt Charge New York U Gambling kingpin Frank Costello. elleged co-leader of a New York-Miami crime axis, was found guilty Fri day night of contempt of the United Stales Senate. The gravel-voiced Costello, re putedly the greatest wielder of underworld power since the gov ernment smashed the empire of the Sate Al Capooe. faced a maxi mum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It would be only the second prison term for Costello since be had his first brush with the law 44 years ago at the age of 17. At that time, an assault and robbery agaiftst him was dismissed. But sevtfc years later, in 1913, he served 10 months in prison for carrying a concealed weapon. Costello, natty in a blue suit, showed no sign of emotion when a Federal Court Jury held that he was guilty on all 10 counts of an indictment charging him with contempt of Sen. Estes Ke fauver's crime committee during its hearings here last year. Specifically, he was accused of refusing to answer questions as to his net worth, his overall in debtedness and his acquaintance with New York politicians, in cluding William O'Dwyer. form er mayor and now U.

Mayor Hoists Sandbag The well-liked, six-foot phar macist has had little sleep this week, but has not lost a bit of his good-naturedness. A few min utes ago. I saw him smiling and working alongside a 10-year-old girl. She was helping fill a sand bag which he then hoisted onto the dike. This morning, he turned in at 2 a. m. but was up again at 7 a. m. leading flood-fighting crews that numbered more than 1.000 at times. Everyone here in good health has put in time reim forcing -the walls of Ivey". Man Has Heart Attack But one man, John H. Steph ens, was told to go to bed after he suffered a heart attack. He refused and went back to the dike to direct his crew. He is the chairman of the board of county commissioners. Mrs. Herman Waiseth, an ex pectant mother, was rushed to Havre over six miles of flooded highway in a station wagon hauled by an Army six-by-six truck. I sat in the station wagon with her. I tried to comfort ber as water splashed into-our ve hicle but she was in too much pain. She was taken to Dea coness hospital.
