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. Each

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.

jail term was suspended. That

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

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.

Unit Timber
Announced
cially high priority will be given
to salvage tracts. 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.

Eagle Point Sets
New Council Date;
Program Outlined
Eagle Point The garbage dis
posal problem and a public hear
ing on curbs and gutters for West
Third street will be the major
items of business for Eagle
Point's city council which will
meet at a new date on July 1 at
8 p.m., according to City Record
er Sam Coy.
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.
