New System of Zones For Control of Fire In Forests Announced A new system of rone con trol of forest fire hazards will go Into affect this year, it was announced last night by District Forestry Warden Ted Maul, In speaking to a meeting of log gers and forest operators of this area. Between SO and 60 persons attended the meeting. Maul also told the operators that enforcement of state fire control regulations will be much stricter this year than in the past, because of the many fires last year, and increased amounts of uamage which resulted from operator-caused fires. May Be Shut Down Operators who fail to abide by regulations will be shut down until they make arrangements to do so, Maul said, and cited DCKH If you're for VOTE FOR THESE 10 DELEGATES -AT-LARGE too to be certain your vote will count at ike National Convention f" ri Here's why these 10 are recommended In the name of the Elienhower-for-Pretidont com mittee, Sen. Henry Cabot Ledge, Jr., chairman, Issued the following statement, Saturday, May 10: "We urgently request that you recommend to the Republican voters in Oregon list of the most widely known and representative candidates for delrgate-at-largc to the Republican National Con tention so that voters who favor Eisenhower's nomination may not scatter and waste their votes among the 50 candidates who are now running for the 10 delegate positions. We fully realize the difficult and embarras sing task you will confront in choosing such a list from among the very many strong and worthy candidates who are on the ballot, but we are convinced that unless such a list is recommended by your Committee, the heavy Eisenhower majority vote will be dangerously scattered and diluted, and the concentrated minority vote for the Taft candidates might elect many of them. They should be defeated in their scheme of filing by petition to escape the moral and legal obligation of supporting the choice of the majority of the Oregon vot ers. The only way to defeat that scheme is to concentrate the majority Eisenhower vote on a list of candidates recommended by Ore gon sown Eisenhower Campaign Committee.''

In explaining the new zoning plan, Maul said that the state has been divided into 18 zones, of which Josephine and Jack' son county, and a small part of Douglas county, comprise Zone 16. The basis for closing indi vidual zones will be a formula which takes into consideration fuel moisture and relative hir midity of the air. Maul said. Form "Burning Index" The two will be combined in- to a burning index based on weather reports made three times each day. These figures will be compiled and charted in the Forestry Department's Salem office, and the trend of the burning Index In each zone will be watched carefully. When the trend Is markedly toward the danger point, the zone affected will be shut down through permit suspensions without the rest of the state be ing affected, Maul pointed out, He also said that current fire records In zones will be taken Into consideration In deciding whether or not closures will be ordered. Each zone will be Judg ed separately, a fact of impor tance to this area where the situation is different from otlv ers in the state, he pointed out, Slressad Dangers Maul stressed the fire danger inherent in the use of power saws and in open refuse burn' ing, particularly the latter. The forest wardens have been era powered to check each opera tlon and Judge It on its own merits. Maul said, and can set up conditions where the opera tion may continue to operate, or be shut down. Maul also discussed what eon stitutcs an operating area, and the operator's responsibilities within that area. These Include a plan for flash disposal, fire fighting organizations within the operator's outfit, and a plan of action on fires. The warden also described the responsibil ity of landowners. New Regulations Among the new regulations which were stressed were those requiring extinguishers and shovels with each power saw Al Wiescndangcr, Salem, ex1 ecutive secretary of the state Keep Oregon Green committee, attended the meting, and show' ed films and talked on the state KOG program.

Taft was quoted as saying there had not been such a struggle for the Republi can nomination in the last 40 years. Apparently, 1912, which was not exactly an auspicious year for the Taft family, is on the Senator's mind. It is on a lot of other politicians' minds, too, because of the looming con tests for the Texas and Louis iana Republican delegations. In 1912, It may be recalled, Theodore Roosevelt had the sup port of the Republican rank and file, while William Howard Taft, as president, controlled the Republican party machin ery. As Roosevelt won victory after victory in the primaries, the Taft manager, Frank Hitch cock, dismissed each new Roose- veltian triumph with the re mark, "ah, yes, but we've got the credentials committee. At the convention itself, the Taft - dominated credentials committee duly seated 72 con tested, pro-Taft delegates. The pro-Taft convention chairman, Elihu Root, steam-rollered the convention into accepting the credential committee's findings, presiding for the purpose so violent was the feeling at the time behind a barricade of barbed wire. And William How ard Taft got the Republican nom ination and carried Vermont. By a singular twist of histor ical irony, a comparable situa- tion again threatens to arise, when William Howard Taft's energetic son is making his fi' nal and most hopeful try for the presidency. TN BRIEF, the ancient and ex- elusive Republican organiza- tlon in Texas, now headed by John Zweifel, and the even more exclusive established Republi can organization in Louisiana. headed by John E. Jackson, have been passionately pro-Taft from the word go. Sen. Taft started his political career with some thing close to Inherited links with these groups and others like them in the South. He and his friends have worked for years to make the links into hoops of steel. Ownership of al most all the Southern delegates has always been a central ele ment In Taft pre-convention strategy. Meanwhile, however, the can didacy of Gen. Dwight D. Eis enhower has evoked a popular surge throughout the South Mostly, this has taken the form of Southerners declaring they will vote for Eisenhower Democrats. But in Louisiana and Texas, the local Republican par ties have also been strongly challenged by pro-Eisenhower movements headed respectively by John Wisdom and Jack Por ter. In fact Wisdom and Porter have roundly defeated Jackson and Zweifel or would have defeated them if Southern Re publican politics were not so ex tremely eccentric. The Jackson and Zweifel or ganizations have both responded in the same way to the irresisti ble rush of pro-Eisenhower vot ers into precinct and district conventions. The Jacksonites and the Zweifelites have reject ed the verdicts of the majorit ies against them; and they have boldly named members of their own factions to the state conven tlons which will make the final choice of the Louisiana and Tex as delegations. . A CCORDING to the Elscnhow "er leaders, the typical Inci dent took place In Zweifcl's own Texas district, where he had called a local caucus In his house. Finding himself heavily outvoted at this gathering, it is alleged that Zweifel abandoned his home to the enemy, led his faithful across the street, and arranged matters to his liking in a rump, minority meeting. The truth or falsehood of this sort of story can be and will be endlessly disputed. But in the opinion on the scene in both Louisiana and Texas seems to be j fairly well represented by the j blunt charge of the "New Or ! leans Item," that "Senator Taft's pro'fessional followers in Louisiana are trying to steal 10 to 13 delegates for the Na tional Convention." Significant ly there are a few uncontested Taft delegates. There are a few Taft delegates In each of the two states whom Elsenhower forces not opposing, on the ground that they have been legally elected, while in both Texas and Louis iana all Eisenhower delegates, even those with the largest pop ular majorities, are facing con tests from Taft people. This would appear to indi cate that the Taft national strat egists will go to all lengths to get the Texas Louisiana vote. Meanwhile a meeting of South ern and national Eisenhower leaders in scheduled to take place very shortly in New Or leans, where the gauntlet will be thrown down to the Taft forces. The present mood of the Bisenhower men is that they will make a deal, but not for less than 10 of the Louisiana del egates and 30 of the Texans. This, in itself, might be enough to swing the balance at Chicago decisively toward Eisenhower. fN THE OTHER hand, Safety Patrolmen Honor Dinner Set Members of the M e d f or d schools safety patrols will be honored at a banquet Friday eve ning at 6:30 at the Pioneer room of the Jackson hotel. Approxi mately 75 youngsters from the schools in M e d f a r d will be present. The Rev. C. J. Lienehan, as sistant pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic church and director of athletics of St. Mary's school, will deliver the invocation. Sgt.

Stadtar if the carry the struggle to the convention, they had better be ready for the worst fight they ever got into," in the reported words of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York. The fight will begin in the contest and credentials com mittees, but will go to the floor if either side is dissatisfied with the committees' verdicts. If this happens every square inch of Republican dirty linen will be washed in a glare of publicity. Favorite sons, like Gov. Earl Warren of Californ ia, will have to choose sides be tween Taft and Eisenhower be fore the official balloting on candidates. Whoever wins the delegate contest will probably win the nomination as well. Altogether, Sen. Taft's decis ion on this single issue of the Texas and Louisiana delegation looks like being one of the hard est he has ever had to make. : r:! v Girl Who Reported Crimes of Friend Wanted by Police Wichita, Kan. (U.R) The 19- year-old Cleveland blonde who gave Wichita police a diary out lining her boy friend s crimes in four states was jailed herself Thursday and held for Tennesee authorities. Wichita officers said they were advised by Nashville authorities Wednesday that "they are hold ing a felony warrant" for Ca mille Divish.

Mor phis immediately was arrested. Had Ch-nge of Heart Camille, in the meantime, had a change of heart and said Wednesday she'd "stick by Mor phis." To her surprise, she also followed him to jail.

HALL Editor Myrtla Paint Herald, Myrtle Point, Oregon Candidate for Delegate to Republican National Convention Fourth Congressional District 1952 It OUR LAST CHANCE to rescue our country from the dep- and return this nation to the principles Republicans: redahoni of socialistic deals of Constitutional Government. Harry Truman has announced that he will not be a candidate yet, in the next breath, he attempted to dictate what the people should do, vii: "I want Democratic senators, representatives and governors elected ... I will be IN THERE just the same as if I were the nominee . . ." In other words, he will attempt to dictate the "Democratic" nominee, ignoring the voice of the people at the primaries primaries are "eye-wash to Harry he said to himself. REPUBLICANS: Let's nominate two great patriotic leaders who have the courage and ability to dash the "fair" deal's accusations back into their faces and, at the same time present a program of unadulter ated Americanism that will stop deficit-spending, lower vicious tax bur den, revitalixe and encourage private enterorise the backbone of America's greatness that new payrolls might be created and thus perpetuate the high standard of living enjoyed by America's working people. Leaders who WILL NOT send our boys Into Unconstitutional "police actions" to fight and die simply to continue a false war econ omy that the nation might revel In a war-boom prosperity. It's high time that young men of America again have their God given, Constitutional right to chart their own careers rather than have those careers blasted by war, more war and idiotic "police actions." In my 35 years of newspaper experience this Is my first attempt to seek political office. Should the Republicans of this district honor me to represent them at the convention, I pledge myself to abide wholly by the will of the Republican voters of Oregon. One major trouble in our country today is having politicians who pledge themselves to the people and then "go their own selfish way," ignoring the voices of the people, t will cooperate with the Oregon Dsleoation at the conven tionso long as that delegation "hues-to-the-ltne" as instructed by the Republican voters at the Primary. I will not be caucused Into changing my vote, unless there Is no other alternative. Education? Graduate from College of Hard Knocks, U.S.A.
