(International Soundpkoto) Bade Stairs: Tries Gold Mining By MEBRIMAN SMITH United Press Correspondent Washington " (U.R) Back stairs at the White House: Tom Stephens, President Eis enhower's appointment secre tary, took a flyer in gold min ing last month in Colorado. By himself, he went- into Clear Creek canyon and had an excit ing several hours panning for gold and operating a sluice box. The rent on ihe gold pan was more than the value of the few shining grains he collected. Soft-hearted Secret Service agents made a host of friends among the younger set living in the Denver neighborhood of Mrs. John S. Doud, Mrs. Eisen hower's mother. They bought the kids toy po lice badges and the children promptly stationed themselves in the alley behind Mrs. Doud's home, on the alert after school, for any potential evil-doers. Bal F. Swan, the rancher who played fishing boat host several times to the President in Colo rado, became quite displeased during Mr. Eisenhower's last vis it ta the Swan Ranch at Pine, Colo. Object of his displeasure was a small group of reporters who started landing big rainbow trout in Swan's heavily stocked stream about a mile above where the President was fish ing. Swan .sent his manager to the stream and he ordered the reporters out immediately. The newsmen explained they had been told by White House Press Secretary James C. Hag erty it would be perfectly per missible for them to fish at this particular location. This made no difference to the rancher. The reporters were evicted immediately. Later, they discovered the reason. They were angling in Swan's favorite pool where not even Mr. Eisen hower himself, had fished. The Republicans are quite be mused by Democratic threats to make an issue over the duration 5k y ii Paul and Bill . When Paul Bunyan finished the logging of the Onion Pines he was so pleased that he made a speech to celebrate. It lasted for nine days and nights without a break, and all the Bunyan log ger listened to every word, with out a nap of sleep or a dab of grub. Each time that Paul stop ped to draw a long breath it pulled the loggers over on their faces. Then, as he let it out, the big wind raised the loggers and rocked them back on their heels. "A most powerful ora tion" Horace Greeley said. It was a young dream of For ester Bill Hagenstein's to rival Paul Bunyan's oratorical powers some day. The other day he made his best effort to date at the 1953 Annual of the Society of American Foresters in Colo rado Springs. His title was "The Evaluation of Forest Manage ment Practices." Or, as Paul Bunyan would have put it, "Siz ing Up Ways to Log." It was a prime speech, for all the college words, and Paul him self would have been proud to make it. Let me mention a few examples. Lucky Eleven . Hagenstein cites "adequate forest protection" a major ob jective of forest management in the Douglas fir region. The new USFS Forest Survey measures progress of the past 20 years in forest protection through five counties of Southwest Oregon and six counties of Southwest Washington, with comparisons of "nonstocked" acreage ot the ; present with that of 1933. Then the total for the 11 counties was 1,154.000 acres. Now it is down to 590,000 acres. Mason county, probably the national champion among 2,000 Vending Machine. : Sells Fresh Eggs GrabalL Ala. (U.R There'j a vending machine here that sells fresh eggs. You drop coins in a slot and then open a little door and take out a Vx of a dozen fresh eggs. The "eggomat" was built by L. G- Roberts to let his customers drive by and help themselves, if they have the proper change. They can select small, medium or large eggs in accordance to their preference. The egg-vending machines holds 45 dozen and is loaded from the back where the boxes of eggs are placed on gently slop ing boards. The coin-operated mechanism can be changed to make adjustments in the price of the eggs. American forest counties, in forest protection, is pround to have seen its 147,000 acres of "non-stocked", forest land 'in 1932 brought down to 5,000 acres in 20 years. Less than one per cent of the county's 520,000 acres of commercial forest land is now in the "non-stocked" cate gory. And most of this is "re cent cutovers," where the new crop has not had time to show up. Hagenstein, who heads up the Industrial Forestry association, certifying agency for tree farms in Western Washington and Oregon, names "cutting meth ods" as the first of the three bas ic forest practies. The roots of the second basic practice, pro tection, are of course in cutting methods. "Planning" is the third. This takes in technical phases of harvest and protection as well as other elements of modern . forest and logging en gineering. Forest management practices today mean profession al practice. Up From The Wilderness . Industrial forestry, as the oratorical heir of Paul Bunyan interprets it, has reached a high stage of know-how and practice on certified tree farms. These advanced examples of forest management practice now ex tend over 4,200,000 acres in the Douglas fir region. How are the practices in force on these tree farms to be evaluated? Hagenstein emphasizes the vast diversity of forest types and species on the American land. Variety rules in the Pacific Northwest, too, even on most individual properties. However, a goal of certain general forest practice standards is esstential, says the forester hence his three "basic practices." He ex cludes "utilization" from the basic EToud because what is feasible in one locality is not practicable in another. That is, utilization practices depend mainly on markets, market roads, logging costs, and the like. A forest manager cannot utilize what he cannot selL What is the objective of own- ership on a given piece of forest iana? Tnis is a vital question, in the Hagenstein view, for a start on any particular evalua tion. Farm woodland use is of ten simply for the farm owner's needs alone for fuel, fence posts, poles,-shakes. The man agement objective on a public forest property is often only rec reational. The common objective on the great majority of private ly owned, taxpaying tree farms, is to plan- protect and harvest a wood crop for profit production on a permanent basis. And But it would take me nine days and nights to tell it all. More later, maybe. of Mr. Eisenhower's vacation. The GOP leadership wonders if the Democrats remember that during the last six months of 1944, F.D.R. was in Washington only 29 days. And most of his out-of-town time in that partic ular period was spent in either Hyde Park, N.Y., or Warm Springs, Ga. Ex-President Truman also spent two months a year in Key West, Fla., when he occupied the White House. I ,. PU1 Ntwseet Br PHIL NEWSOM United Prase Foreign Analyst Until about a month ago,' Ana toli Iossifovich Lavrentiev was eating high on the bog. Then trouble befell. Now Lavrentiev is reported "ill" and no won- der. Lavrentiev is 49 years old, a balding, stocky man who i Russian am bassador to Iran. Until last month's sudden coup which saw the downfall of Iranian Premier Mohammed Mossadegh and restoration of the Shah, it looked as if Lavren tiev was about to hand to the Russians one of their biggest prizes. Iran seemed ready to fall to Communism. Two Down It was the second time that disaster had struck Lavrentiev, once regarded as one of Com munisim's brightest, younger lights. It was he who failed to read the signs in Yugoslavia correct ly. Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito re portedly put the finger on him in 1947. That was the period when the Yugoslav-Soviet crisis was at its height, and Tito was supposed to have complained to Soviet Foreign Minister Vyach eslav Molotov that Lavrentiev was "stupid." "He may be stupid," Molotov is said to have replied, "but he is a good Communist. It was perhaps natural that Molotov, who has made a career of mediocrity, should choose such a one as his own particular favorite. , Bad Timing At any rate, Lavrentiev was around as Russian ambassador to Yugoslavia when the big split occurred. '. Lavrentiev is of the Commu nist school of "economic" diplo mats which produced such really brilliant men as Jacob Malik and Adrei Gromyko, both of whom have ben formidable an-' tagonists of the United States in the United Nations. Last July, with Mossadegh showing signs of wanting some kind of economic agreement with Russia, Lavrentiev was moved to Tehran. His arrival was followed by the flight of the Shah and by violent pro-Communist demon strations staged by the Commu nist Tudeh party. But, with suc cess almost in his grasp, it was torn away. What judgment his Moscow bosses may lower on him is prob lematical. Whether Molotov can get his favorite out of trouble again is doubtful. DIAGNOSIS Glastonbury, Conn.
