Michigan Republican Delegates Hold Off In Telling Sentiment (Editor's Note: Following Is J one in a series of dispatches dis cussing the Republican presi dential race in doubtful states. Developments in these states will be covered in periodic dis patches until the convention be gins.) ' Lansing, Mich. (U.R) The Taft - Eisenhower sentiment of Michigan's uncommitted Repub lican delegation now is expected to remain an official mystery right up until the eve of the Chicago convention. The state's 46-member delega tion met Sunday but backers of the two principal candidates for the GOP presidential nomina tion studiously avoided any test of strength. No Further Mtollngi Arthur E. Summerfield, na tional committeeman and chair man of the Michigan delegation, said no further meetings of dele gates will b held until July 6 at Chicago. The Sunday meeting was de scribed officially as a stand - off between Eisenhower and Taft forces because of the selection of an avowed "neutral," George A. Shaffer, Detroit, as Michigan's man on the important credent ials committee Although Shaffer insisted he "still has an open mind," on whether to support Taft or Eis enhower, close associates said he now is leaning toward Eis enhower. Shaffer insists he is a neutral and said he is awaiting outcome of private polls of public senti ment before deciding whom to support. He said incomplete re sults of the sampling show Eis enhower now slightly ahead of Taft. Ik Manager Pleased John Feikens, Michigan man ger ol the Eisenhower cam paign, said he was "highly pleas ed" by selection of Shaffer for the key credentials committee berth and claimed a victory ov er Taft forces. But Charles H. King, Taft committee chairmam for the state, said that he considered Shaffer a neutral and welcomed his choice for the job. The credentials committee must decide the hot Texas dele gation scrap as well as other battles over seating of Southern delegates. No Showdown Effort Both Taft and Eisenhower camps chose against making any open showdown effort at t h e pre - convention meeting.

LININGER & SONS PHONE 2-5336 or 2-5897 side has claimed a majority of Michigan's 46 convention votes, but reluctance toward a show down indicated that Taft and Eisenhower backers aren't too sure of which way the political wind is blowing. Unofficial polls have shown delegate sentiment nearly even ly divided. The delegation is un- instructed by 11 members said they favored Eisenhower and nine favored Taft in a United Press poll. Upper Rogua Grang Upper Rogue Grange met June 19 with small attendance due to the busy season. The talent show was discussed and postponed. The square dances were also postponed for three months. A check was sent to Brother Houston, 4-H club leader, for the purpose of sending two 4-H boys to summer camp. A report on State Grange was given by the master, Eda Tor rence and Mr. and Mrs. Carlton. It was moved that the July 3 meeting be postponed on ac count of the holidays. Next H.E.C. meeting, Thurs day, July 10, will be at Maude Ditsworth's residence at Bell view with a pot luck picnic and each lady is to bring their own service. Butle Falls Grange Upper Rogue Grange present ed an interesting program of reading, parody of a schoolroom, a young girl "making up," and music, for its part in the travel ing lecture being sponsored by Pamona Grange, at the Butte Falls special meeting recently. Visitors from Lake Creek Grange Bellevue and Griffin Creek were also present and gave interesting remarks or readings to add to the enjoy ment of the evening. Next regular meeting of Butte Falls Grange will be July 7, Mountain Top Landing Plan Halted by Adverse Weather Hood River (U.R) Lt. John Hodgkin, 43, the Air Force pilot with a penchant for landing light planes in places authorities say he shouldn't has cancelled plans to land on top of 12,307-foot Mt. Adams because of bad weather. Hodgkin was in trouble with the Department of Interior and the Air Force last year for land ing on the slopes of Mt. Rainier. He was fined $350 for landing in a national park and a six-month jail term was suspended. That Police Seek One Of Four-Man Gang For Tavern Theft Salem (U.R) Police Saturday sought the fourth member of the masked gang which held up Chuck's tavern at Gates, 40 miles east of here, Thursday night and took about $1000. Three of the holdup men were captured Friday. Frank Brew ton, 19, Aumsville, and Pete Graves, 31, West Stayton, were taken as they attempted to flee on foot through a canyon in the Sardine creek area near Gates. The third, Raymond Joe Knight, 19, West Stayton, gave himself up to state police late Friday. Police said all three admitted participation in the holdup. Brewton was on parole from Washington State prison where he was serving a 20-yedr sen tence for forgery. Knight was released from Oregon State pris on last month after serving 18 months for armed robbery of the Y cafe on the Salem-Dallas high way. Graves was arrested in May for contributing to the de linquency of a minor and was placed on 18-months probation.

LININGER'S READY-MIX CONCRETE W (II sn h M A p ri n KIWANIANS AID UNDERPRIVILEGED Officials of Med- ford Kiwanis club discuss a report made to members last week concerning the Kiwaftian program for underprivileged youngsters. The club has contributed $2,968 since July 1 in this project. Most of the expenditure involved medical expenses for the children. A scholarship to the hospital for crippled children at Eugene was pro vided for one child. Left to right are Jennings Pierce, club presi dent; Robert Rector, immediate past president; Dr. L. P.v Walker, head of the committee on underprivileged children's work, who made the report, and Robert Church, club vice president. Walker has been named lieutenant governor for 1933 of Division No. 15 of the Kiwanis Pacific Northwest district. Pierce, Rector and Walker attended the recent Kiwanis International convention at Seattle. (Brainerd photo). BLM Jackson Sales Program The maximum amount of bu reau of land management timber that can be sold under the bu reau's 1953 timber sale plan in the Jackson master unit is 111.4 million board feet, according to a news release from the depart ment of the interior. The bureau annually budgets the amount of timber that can be sold under sustained yield limitations. When the limit has been set the BLM invites per sons interested in purchasing O and C and public domain tim ber to submit their suggestions for timber tracts to be offered for sale. Salvage Priority High Under the 1953 plan an espe- lark, in April, 1951, ended with a costly and dangerous rescue operation. Commercial Angle His attempt to set his ski equipped plane down on a 3000 foot natural "runway" on the top of Mt. Adams had a com mercial angle. The Pacific Sul phur Co. of White Salmon, Wash., contacted the pilot while he was on furlough from his Texas assignment. He was retained, for an un disclosed sum, to explore the possibilities of flying mining personnel into the company's ex tensive sulphur mining claims on the mountain. Such a method would save them laborious pack train trips. Advised Against Project The forest service has advised against the project but is power less to stop it because the min ing claims are outside the juris diction of the service. Hodgkin left Hood River air port about noon Friday but was forced to turn back by bad weather. His furlough expires July 8 and it was not known whether another attempt would be made. Store Employees Have Breakfast Employees of the J. C. Penney company attended a breakfast at the Jackson hotel, Thursday morning in observance of em ployees' week. Entertainment for the break fast was provided by members of the staff. Acting as master of ceremonies was Efton Jones. William Sheirbon was selected to be official manager for em ployees week for the Penney store. iNWMKIIUNGpa. 11 " CONTINUOUS TODAY FROM 12:45 P.M. mmr m . . fym GRANGER-PARKER Mtf t LEIGH:FERRER J S !k? f HENRY " HIKAX fij!?)

Special empha sis will be placed on the disposal of fire-killed, wind-thrown and beetle infested timber. .The largest cutting budget in the Jackson master unit was that of the Little Butte creek ad ministrative unit. That unit can support a cutting of 31.2 million board feet. Other Units Timber cutting in the other administrative units was budget ed as follows: Applegate river, 9.2 million board feet; Butte Falls, 29.8 million; Elk Creek, 13 million; Emigrant creek, 2.6 million; Evans creek, 19.2 mil lion, and Gold Hill, 1.8 million. The remainder of the budgeted timber yield will come from mis cellaneous and public domain lands. A 1953 cutting of 85.7 million board feet was budgeted in the Josephine master unit. The budgeted yield for the Klamath master unit is 26.7 million board feet. This brings the total budget for the Medf ord district, under District Forester Eugene K. Peterson, to 223.8 million board feet. Sales under the bureau's 1953 plan are scheduled to begin next February. They will follow at two-month intervals. Failure To Abate Pollution Charged Portland U.R) The Oregon State Sanitation Authority, which ordered representatives of 10 cities to explain their plans to abate pollution nuisances, Saturday also got tough with Molalla and the Cloverdale dis trict of Roseburg. The authority said both Mol alla and the Cloverdale district had been delaying solution of their pollution problems. Time Limit Given Molalla was given 15 months to construct and put into opera tion a sewage 'collection and treatment system. Cloverdale Water company, North Roseburg Sanitary dis trict, Roseburg Homes, Inc., and H. R. Kettell, Portland, onetime president of the corporation, were given 10 days to abate a sewage nuisance in the Clover dale district where some 170 homes are located. The authority' Friday night cited Toledo, Lebanon, Myrtle Point, Coquille, Newport, Wheeler, Nehalem, Vale, Nyssa and Mount Angel for stalling tactics and delays in controlling pollution.

Next Tuesday's meeting will be the first time the council hasn't met on the second Tues day of the month since council records were started in 1911, ac cording to Coy. The meeting date has been permanently changed to the first Tuesday in the month. At the present time, the record er said, there is no permanent garbage disposal agreement with any collector. The firm of Gay and Old stopped hauling gar bage after the council refused to levy a $1 assessment on each water meter to pay the cost of collection. Committee Investigating A committee composed of C. E. Henderson, Alfred Overdick and Fred Arens, all councilmen, is investigating the alternatives and will report on their findings at the Tuesday meeting. Joseph Whipple, who is presently pick ing up the garbage, has asked for a 50-cent meter assessment, Coy said, in order that he can continue the service. AU property owners along West Third street are invited to attend the public hearing, Coy continued, over the matters of financing curbs and gutters for the street. Other business, continuing from the last council meeting, will be a report by the commit tee negotiating with Mrs. Opal Chamberlain for the purchase of land at the lower south end of the town park. The city de sires the property in order that it can move the Boy scout build ing to a more desirable location. The building is presently located behind Brown's store in the cen ter of town. Councilmen on the committee are H. C. Edgerton, Don Ashpole and Art Kent. The committee will also work with the Eagle Point Lions club committee in moving the build ing after the purchase. Funds for the purchase have been made available by F. E. Bubb, to be paid Out of the Scout fund when ever possible. Ashland Man Elected By State Accountants Klamath Falls (U.R) J.
