Officials Seeking
Dam Repair Aid
Grants Pass Two Grants
Pass Irrigation district officials
are flying to Washington, DC.
this week, to support their re
quests for federal aid in the re
habituation of Savage Kapids
dam.
Victor BochI, president, and
William F. Johnson, attorney for
the district, were authorized to
make the trip after Boehl had
been told via telefhone from
Washington that the Department
of Interior's budget is facing
"hard sledding," according to
the Grants Pass Courier.
Repairs Needed
The dam was put in shape for
the 1952 Irrigation year on Sat
urday, Boehl reported, but the
hydraulic-gate system, built 32
years ago, has deteriorated, and
only 2 of the 16 gales could be
raised this year. Thirteen gates
have been closed by timbers, he
said.
The north end of the dam has
been undercut, and is in need of
repair, he added.
Estimated cost of the rehabili
tation was recently estimated by
the Army engineers at $687,000,
plus $207,000 for turbine-intake
screens. An application for the
rehabilitation funds was made
to the bureau of reclamation for
a reimbursable loan for the re
habilitation, and Boehl was told
that the proposal has been turn
ed down.
Recreation Building
Ban May Be Lifted
Washington (U.R) National
Production Authority officials
said Tuesday the ban on build
ing amusement and recreation
projects may be lifted this sum
mer or fall.
They said no final decision
has been reached and the action
may be postponed if the demand
for materials for "more Import
ant" types of commercial con
struction proves bigger than
now indicated.
AT LEAST 28 PERSONS DIE IN CRASH
All that remains of the North Continent Air
lines C-46 after it crashed in the Puente Hills
near Los Angeles. The non-scheduled airliner,
flying from New York to Los Angeles, carried
at least 28, possibly 30, persons to their deaths.
Colorado Warden,
Guards, Indicted
Denver (U.R! Colorado State
Penitentiary Warden Roy Best,
former deputy warden Oran W.
Doolen, and seven guards were
under federal indictment Tues
day, charged with violating the
civil rights of convicts.
A federal grand Jury, which
spent more than a week investi
eating the prison's operation
handed down the indictment
Monday,
The indictment Included seven
counts conspiracy and alleged
beating and torturing of six
prisoners who were flogged last
July after an unsuccessful prison
break in which two guards were
wounded.
Conviction on all seven counts
would make the prison officials
liable to seven years in prison
and a fine of $7,000 or both.
The indictment charged that
the nine prison officials conspir
ed under color of state law to
coerce and obtain information,
statements and confessions con
cerning an alleged crime."

Priest Tells of Long
Questioning, Violence
Hong Kong (U.R) A Catholic
priest said Tuesday that the
Chinese Communists forced him
to undergo nine days of inces
sant questioning and physical
violence in an attempt to make
him "confess" to spying and
organizing an anti-Communist
ring.
Father Robert W. Greene, 41-ycar-pld
Maryknoll priest from
Jasper, Ind., told his story while
recuperating from an ordeal
that began with his arrest In
October, 1950.
At that time, he and two other
priests, Fathers Gregory Gilmar
tin, Waterbury, Conn., and Irwin
Nugent, Dorchester, Mass., were
placed under house arrest in
Kwangsi.
Fathers Nugent and Gllmartin
were ordered to leave China in
April-1951. Father Greene was
formally arrested on April 3,
1952.
Strike Series Threat
Seen for NW Bakeries
Seattle (U.R) A scries of
strikes against Northwest bak
eries seemed certain Tuesday
unless current contract negotia
tions are successful.
Local officials of the Interna
tional Bakery and Confectionery
Workers union AFL from Wash
ington, Oregon and Montana met
here Monday. Frank Hoover,
secretary of district 10 of the
union, announced afterward
that strike votes against em
ployers in Tacoma, Portland and
Spokane already have carried
and that Seattle locals 23 and 9
will take strike votes next Sat
urday. Hoover charged that employ
ers have refused to discuss other
issues until the work-week ques
tion has been settled. He said
the union had been making no
progress in negotiations with
employers.
Most wholesale bread bak
eries in Seattle, Spokane and
Portland have been compelled
to employ crews on Tuesday,
although their plants are not in
production on that day because
of a conflict in union contracts.
Out of tiic Woods
By J'm fekets
Wankesha, Wis. (U.R) Ar
thur Healey, 64, swerved his car
to avoid a crash with another
and succeeded. He got out to sur
vey the scene of the near miss,
slipped on the ice, was run over
by a passing truck and suffered
a broken leg.
Roller-Rink Slated
As Scene of Wedding
Wauconda, 111. (U.R) Dorothy
Meyer, 19, and Harry Mussared,
22, who met and fell in love on

wear skates, as will the couple,
the maid of honor, three brides
maids, best man, ringbearer,
flower girl three ushers and an
r.slimated 400 guests.
King Market
It was a fine, fresh morning
of spring in Loquille. A sun
upper from away back on the
farm, I turned out with the truck
loggers for an hour of hiking
and gabbing around the streets
before breakfast. There was no
lack of company. Good words
had with a gypo who was a na
tive of Green Knob. Another,
met as he warmed up his truck's
motor, hailed from Tincup
Creek. Men with the bark on,
both.
It happened that I sounded
both loggers out on their inter
est in the nation-wide market for
the products of the West Coast
log. Each man had an open mind
and bright ideas on where and
how the money made from log
ging originates.
Mr. Green Knob knew quite
a bit about the national adver
tising and trade promotion pro
gram of the West Coast Lumber
men's association. Mr. Tincup
Creek knew enough about it to
give it much credit for the fact
that grades of logs which had
not been salable for a hundred
years had at last made the mar
ket largely through West Coast
lumber advertising of "utility
grades" nationally.
The night before, at a Co-
quille Lions club dinner for log
gers and lumbermen, I d met
with this same awareness of
King Market as the source of
logging income, forestry costs,
retail trade, wages, taxes and
roads on the Oregon coast.
Everywhere there was appreci
ation of the part advertising has
played in winning the favor ct'
King Market throughout Amer.
ica for the logging leftovers of
the years of old yesterday's
low-grades and culls.
Boss Woodsman
At the breakfast counter Ed
Stanley joined me in hot cakes
and ham steak, with a couple of
eggs apiece for flavoring. Ed is
a famous native of the Coquille
country itself. Boss logger and
lumberman, he is now in the
popular business of skinning fir
for plywood.
In no time Ed was swearing
by the holy old mackinaw that
low-grade logs would still be
choking up the West Coast cut
overs if it hadn't been for na
tional advertising and booklets
telling how there was a right
use for every cheap grade and
item that a Douglas fir sawmill
can turn out.
"I've watched it work right
here in Coquille," Ed declared.
"At our mill we handed out leaf
lets on how to build with the
right lumber grades in the right
place, to all comers, and they
ate 'em up. Why, I tried them
out and saved money myself!"
Ten years ago I was around
Coquille and Coos Bay for quite
a spell without once hearing the
national market for wood men
tioned. Only a visionary or two
in the West Coast Lumbermen's
association at that time was
dreaming of nation-wide lumber
advertising. Now it is a famous
fact up Tincup Creek and out
around Green Knob. It is enough
to flabbergast Paul Bunyan.
My sunup hike took me to a
favorite spot, the courthouse of
Coos county; with its grove of
myrtles and mighty oaks. The
wood sidings of the old court
house looked just as it had looked
10 years ago. I doubt if it has
been painted since 1932. The
paint is dingy but good.
The later courthouse addition,
like a nearby church, has stucco
walls. Why and how did a desert
country type of siding come to
be chosen over native wood sid
ing of a kind that had served
so well in the old Coquille court
house? Stucco is fine enough in
a dry country but Coos county
is not dry in any particular.
The answer abides in adver
tising and other forms of public
information. Once the stucco pro
ducers stood out in advertising
and promotion. Nowadays the
lumbermen are spending money
to educate the folks at home as
well as in California, Texas and
New York on use of the right
material in the right place.
On our wet timber coast, wood
is the right sidewall material.
New wood homes, churches and
schools down the Oregon coast
demonstrate that people today
are properly informed on this
fact. Lumbermen have learned
their lesson from rival industries.
