Oi Industry Pictured
In Photographic Book
Containing Simple Text
One of the nation's most im
portant Industries is pictured
completely and dramatically for
the first time in a photographic
book, "The Oilmen," just pub
lished by Rinehart & Company.
The petroleum business, which
has been increasingly in the
news in recent months, is por
trayed through 174 pictures of
men and women at work, tied
together by a brief, simple line
of text.
The pictures were taken by
Thomas Hollyman, consulting
photography editor of Holiday
magazine, on assignment for
Shell Oil Company. They were
made available to Rinehart &
Company to tell the industry's
story in picture-book form. The
resulting volume, which is on
sale through book stores, is en
tirely non-commercial.
of fire-killed timber, ill of the
O&C timber involved in the
sale has been marked for cutting
on an individual tree selection
basis. All thrifty and immature
trees have been reserved from
cutting as has been the practice
on the O&C lands in the Med
ford district since 1938, and suf
ficient seed trees have been re
served to assure future crops of
timber on the O St C lands
through natural reseeding.

Playwright Refuses
To Be Helpful in
Communist
B LYLE C. WILSON I
Washington U.R) Play
wright Lillian Hellman, who re
fused to be a helpful witness to
the House un-American Activi
ties Committee, has long rec
ord of Communist front activity.
She has been cited by the com
mittee in 40 instances of Com
munist front affiliation or activi
ty of varying degree. After its
investigation of un-American
propaganda activities in the
United States, the committee re
ported in 1944 on hundreds of
persons, who, in one way or an
other had associated themselves
with Communist fronts.
Many of these persons are not
communists, although lympi
thetic with Communism. Many
others were ignorant dupes who
innocently permitted their
names to be used by Commu
nists. And some of these broke
away when the facts of Com
munist politics became known
to them.
Refuses Questions
Miss Hellman was among the
considerable number of persons
listed who were tagged as well
known and active supporters of
Communist fronts. .
In testimony before the House
committee Wednesday she re
fused to answer questions re
garding her relationship with
the Communist party or with
individuals on grounds that she
might incriminate herself. She
did say she was not a party mem
ber at this time.
Knowledge Wanted
The committee additionally
wanted to find out what Miss
Hellman could tell about per
sons she may have known to
be Communists in the publishing
and theatrical circles in which
she has moved steadily upward
for 25 years.
Miss Hellman was excused aft
er an exchange which began
with her refusal to answer a
question about a specific meet
ing of the Communist party in
Hollywood. Committee Counsel
Frank S. Tavenner Jr. finally
TREAT
FOR YOU!
Hearing
said it was plain he could obtain
no "helpful testimony from her.
Miss Hellman left the stand with
her secrets, if any, unspoken.
Could Be Helpful
There is, at least, reasonable
ground for belief that Miss Hell
man could have been a witness
helpul and importantly effec
tive in further exposing Com
munist activity in the United
Stales.
In its 1944 report, the com
mittee on page 1209 discussed
one of the fronts with which
Miss Hellman was associated
and included her in a select list
of the "large company of con
firmed Communist fellow travel
lers in this organization." The
report added:
"A bulky volume could be
written which dealt only with
the Communist activities and af
filiations of the foregoing per
sons." Plastic furniture upholstery
