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

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.

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

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.
