How do I know what trees to cat
bo that my woodlot will keep on
producing crops? Here's a rule-of-thumb
for handling forests of seed
ling and sapling size, pole size and
saw log size.
In thinning seedlings and sap
lings watch your spacing so that
trees are close enough to fill in
gap when you take out Christmas
trees, posts And other smalt prod
ucts. If cutting a Christmas tree
leaves too large a gap, don't take
St. This is a good time to do fill-in
planting If there is too large a
space in your young growing forest.
J From about 25 years on, the
young, pole-sized forests will yield
an increasing amount of merchanta
ble products. Improvement cutting
from now on will more than pay
Its way. Before logging a pole -sited
Vtand, mark trees to be cut In
marking leave the best quality,
healthiest trees fairly well spaced.
Nark trees to be cut with an ax
blaze, paint, or paper tags. Use
these four rules to guide your
'marking:
1) Remove larger, rough, llmby
frees that will release healthy
better quality trees so they can
grow faster. ;
2) Remove merchantable trees
that are likely to die before your
fiext time through the forest. These
should include those dying from!
crowding, rot and other causes and
leaners that may blow over.
3) Remove badly injured or de
fective trees. This includes trees
with conk, bad fire scars, very
crooked stems.
4) Remove some of trees in dense
clumps to improve growing condi
tion for those remaining. Caution:
Do not make openings that expose
a tree on more than one side. Too
severe exposures causes shock and
may slow down growth for years.
How many trees do you leave to
an acre and what should be the
spacing? Here is an excellent rule

Mrs. Stassen Feels
Role of First Lady
A Difficult Part
Generals Disagree
About Politicking
While in Uniform
Monday. April 14. 1952
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Washington (U.R) Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen.
Douglas MacArthur apparently
disagree on the traditions of the
military service.
Eisenhower told newsmen in
Paris that if nominated for presi
dent by the Republican national
convention next July, he would
resign from the Army, shuck his
uniform and perform as a
civilian.
"From that point on," he said,
"I would be free to act and speak
as any other citizen, without any
of the limitations imposed by the
traditions of the military estab
lishments." No Politics In Uniform
The plain implication of his
remarks was that political activi

Editor's note: Following is
tht last in a series of stories
about wivas of leading Repub
lican presidential candidates.
Philadelphia (U.R) Esther
Glewwe Stassen thinks the role
of First Lady "must be one of
the most difficult in the world."
But she is equally certain the
President's wife can do much to
ward "making her husband's
work easier."
That view about sums up her
attitude toward anything in
which her husband, Harold E.
Stassen, is engaged.
Always in Agreement
She says, "we always are in
agreement on important deci
sions, and that includes this cam
paign," Stassen's bid for the
presidency.
A somewhat bashful woman,
Esther Stassen would stay out of
the public eye as much as pos
sible if she became First Lady.
She doesn't make speeches and
doesn't like to.
Her first responsibility now is
the care of the two Stassen chil
dren. Katheel, called "Keen," is
10 and Glen is 16. The Stassens
have carefully kept the children
from the limelight and have de
cided against permitting family
portraits during his campaign
for the Republican nomination.
Enjoyed Tenure at Penn
Because she saw so little of
her husband during his Minne
sota political campaigns and
service in the Navy, Mrs. Stassen
has thoroughly enjoyed the three
years he has been president of
the University of Pennsylvania.
She says they are the happiest of
her life.
They live in the university
president s house, a large jtruc
ture of white stucco bordering
on a golf course with a lovely
view of rolling hills.
She likes to entertain and is
considered an especially gracious
hostess with a flair for saying
"the right thing." She likes to
do the family marketing herself
Gardening is a specialty. In
South St. Paul, Minn., where
they slill own a much-loved
home, her garden was a show-
place. Lately she has become an
avid oil painter and is taking
art lessons.
She is very active in the Bap
tist church, as is every member
of the family.
Born in Minnesota
Mrs. Stassen was born in
Mound, Minn., one of 12 chil
dren. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Glewwe, emigrated from
Alsace-Lorraine as children.
She met Harold Stassen when
he was a Minnesota law student
and she was a secretary in a St.
Paul law office. They married in
1929, after his graduation.
The Stassens are unusually de
voted. Friends say they are "al
ways holding hands and are still
in love after all these years."
She is a sweet-faced, pretty
woman about 5 feet 4 inches tall,
compared to his 6-feet-2. She
wears little make-up and is no
"clothes horse." Her mind is
quick and she is not shy about
giving her opinion when asked.

ligious emphasis week at South

status would violate service tra
ditions. Traditions are beliefs,
customs, manners of 1 i f e an
unwritten code. By basing his
decision on tradition rather than
on military regulations. Eisen
hower probably has let the De
fense Department off a hot spot.
Had the decisions been based
on military regulations, it would
have been up to the Defense De
partment to explain why Mac
Arthur could make political
speeches whereas Eisenhower
could not.
MacArthur Against Truman
MacArthur has been stumping
against the Truman administra
tion since his relief a year ago
this month from command in the
Far East. He has objected to all
efforts to put his name in presi
dential primaries. He scarcely
can be unaware, however, that
some of the top men of the
Republican party expect the Re
publican national convention to
reach a Taft-Eisenhower dead
lock, and break it by nominating
MacArthur.
Stranger things have hap
pened in politics. So the differ
ence between Eisenhower and
MacArthur in relation to parti
san politics at this moment is
only that the former is a likely
nominee and the latter no
better than a dark horse.
Draws Real Distinction
On the record, it would appear
that Eisenhower draws a real
distinction between political ac
tivity in general and the active
seeking of political office.
He was an officer on inactive
status while serving as president
of Columbia university. From a
slow start in early speeches,
Eisenhower moved up rapidly
during that period to the front
rank of public men directly chal
lenging the Truman adminisra
tion. The general believed many of
President Truman's policies
were wrong and dangerous. He
was making headlines and tel
ling the people about it when
recalled from inactive to active
status to head the Allied military
establishment in Europe.

Ex-Oreqon State College Coed
Arrested on Pickpocket Charge

Miss Engen admitted the at-
lice of taking money from five
other women shoppers on April

more than $100. She said she
used $5 of the money to send
some flowers to her home in
North Bend.
The former co-ed said she was
placed on probation in Corvallis
last January for writing four
worthless checks while attending
college. She said her mother ad
vised -her to seek employment

Government Denies
Charge of Rotten
Beans in Storage
Washington (U.R) The sena
tor said the government was stor
ing "roltcn" beans.
The Agriculture Department
official retorted the beans were
just "off color."
Sen. Edward Martin, R-Pa.,
started the hassle over the red
kidney beans. He said Sunday
that the government bought and
stored about $7,600,000 worth of
surplus beans a few years ago
to support the market.
Beans Said Rotten
Now the beans are rotten, he
said, but the government keeps
on storing them at a cost of
$10,000 a month.
Drexel D. Watson, director of
the Agriculture Department's
grain branch, admitted the gov
ernment still had about $1,000,
000 worth of red kidney beans
on its hands from the 1948-49
crops. But he said they weren't
rotten at all they just appear
"off-color" becausj of their old
age.

Audience Thinks It's All in Act
As Lions Attack Gunless Trainer
New York (U.R) Most of the
audience at Ringling Bros, and
Barnum and Bailey's circus ap
parently thought it was all part
of the act when lion tamer Oscar
Konyot was attacked by one of
his "pets."
Konyot, who had bits of flesh
torn from his left side and from
his arms, said it was the 51st
time one or more of the big cats
had attacked him.
The 45-year-old trainer had
just put his eight lions through
their paces when one of them
swiped him with a paw and
knocked him to the ground. Be
fore Konyot could recover his
footing a second cat leaped on
top of him.
The tamer, who uses neither
whip, pistol nor chair in his act,
fought the lions off with his
hands and finished the act. He
then was rushed to St. Clare's
Hospital where his wounds were
stitched.
His condition was described
as good.
