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

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.''

the fact that last year there
were 29 fires caused by power
saws and 79 from open refuse
fires throughout the state.
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

Matter of Fact

WILL ELIHU'S GHOST WALK?
Washington Not long ago,
Sen. Robert A. 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

ning at 6:30 at the Pioneer room

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

fore the official balloting on
candidates. Whoever wins the
delegate contest will probably
win the nomination as well.
Altogether, Sen. Taft's decis

Texas and Louisiana delegation
looks like being one of the hard
est he has ever had to make.

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.
