Guards beat the "V" sound for
victory into a crashing anthem
in tribute to the entry of the
"old man" into the ninth decade
of his life.
, From the Queen down to the
humblest of her subjects, Britain
paid its man of destiny gratitude
that overshadowed : even - the
magnificent pagentry of today's
state opening of parliament.
It was a happy coincidence
that placed Churchill's 80th
birthday and the state .opening
of Parliament on the same, day,
for it added touch of royal
grandeur to an hour that already
had everything else in full meas
ure. The Day's Highlights :
' These were the big events of
Churchill's birthday:
1. A gathering of both houses
of Parliament after the state
opening in unprecedented as
sembly to give him a portrait of
himslelf and a commemorative
book.
2. Presentation by Lord Moyni
han of . a check for more than
200,000 pounds ($280,000) as the
first installment of the Church
hill birthday fund, , which the
Prime Minister . is expected to
give to some worthy, cause. -
3. Presentation by the con
servative party, which he heads,
of two silver jugs, bearing the
Churchill coat of arms, once
the property of Charles Church
ill, brother of the first Duke of
Marlborough.. '' '
4. A gift fronvQueen' Elizabeth
II at Buckingham Palace in the
evening.
Thousands of presents, cables,
telegrams, postcards and letters
poured into 10 Downing Street,
the Prime Minister's official resi
dence. Many Heads of State
They came from President
Eisenhower, f orm President Tru
man, Marshal Tito and many
other heads of state, from friends
and colleagues, from political
enemies, from ordinary people
everywhere.
Tens of thousands crowded the
streets this morning to cheer
Queen Elizabeth as she rode in
a stage coach from Buckingham
Palace to Parliament to don her
robes of velvet and ermine and
her crown of diamonds and read
the traditional speech from the
throne.
Churchill gathered with other
members of Commons in the
cavernous chamber in the House
of Lords to hear the Queen read
the brief statement outlining the
government's policy , which the
Prime Minister and his deputies
had prepared for her.
Instead of the crowd, fading
away as in -former years "after
the Queen's departure, it re
mained clustered thickly around
Westminster Hall, which, adjoins
the Hcuse ,of Parliament, where
members: of -both houses and
their guests assembled to pay

BIRTHDAY PRESENT This is portrait of Prime Minister
Sir. Winston Churchill painted by Graham Sutherland for
presentation to the statesman on his 80th birthday by past
and present members of the Houses of Parliament. Artist
Sutherland says he suspects the prime minister a noted
amateur painter himself of adding a daub or two of paint
on the canvas between sittings.
their own. unprecedented tribute
to a Prime Minister.
Never before have both Houses
of Parliament joined in a gift to
a Prime Minister, a fact noted by
House Speaker W. S. Morrison in
opening the ceremony.
Then Clement Attlee, a former
Prime Minister and a wartime
colleague in the coalition and
now leader of the opposition,
presented to Churchill the por
trait painted by Graham Suther
land.
As Attlee finished his tribute,
the portrait was unveiled and
illuminated by remote control.
It shows Churchill in the black
coat, striped trousers and blue
polka dot bowtie he wears in
Commons, seated and looking
straight out of the canvas.
The Prime Minister made one
concession to the crowded day.
He delegated the opening of the
government's campaign in parlia
ment to his deputy, Foreign Min
ister Anthony Eden. This was the
first time in generations that a
Prime Minister had not led off
for his party in Parliament on
opening day.

Oregon Lumbermen Favor Cutting
Of Trees in National Forests
Br WILLIAM WARREN ;
United Press Correspondent'
Salem (U.R) A lot of lumber
men in Oregon who are advo
vates of conservation are up in
arms because of the timber not
being cut on Oregon forest lands
held by Uncle Sam. .
Veteran lumber men told this
reporter at a recent meeting
here that . failure to cut over
matured timber is unhealthy for
the forest lands in at least two
ways: The old trees are more
susceptible to disease and to
pests, such as the spruce bud
worm; and they create an added
fire hazard. If they tree harvested
for timber, they give that much
more room for growth to young
er trees, and so their harvesting
contributes markedly to the per
petual yield program designed
to keep" Oregon green and not
denuded. ,
Lack of Access Roads
One, of the reasons why the
national, forests are not cutting
as much timber as they are ca
pable of cutting is lack of timber
access roads. In remote forest
areas, roads are costly, but still
they hold the key to proper for
est management. No forest can
be properly managed without
these roads to remove the over
mature, diseased and bug-killed
timber.' This applies today to
157,000,000,000 feet in the na
tional forests of, Oregon, where
most, of the timber is virgin,
old-growth forests.
, Lumbermen, those interested
in. conservation and in seeing
1he continued progress of Ore
gon's number one industry, log
ging and lumbering, hope Uncle
Sam will build the roads that
will bring out this over-mature
timber. Roads in the woods do
not come cheap. The usual log
ging estimate is about S2; a foot
or about $10 000 a mile. Some
roads, if they go through rock,
run from $50,000 to $75,C00 a
mile and -even higher.
More Self-Supporting
Of course, it wouldn't make
good sense to spend more for
roads than the timber is worth.
But with timber access roads,
the.- national forest land micht
'well become more self support
ing. County governments would
also be aided through sharing
in timber sales revenues. Last
fiscal year, Oregon counties re
ceived $4,928,000 from timber
sales on national forests. An
other $6,000,000 was received

FotGrade A License
Oregon City (U.R) ' Elmer
Deetz, Canby's gallon-jug dairy
man who led the battle to repeal
milk control and was elected to
the Oregon Legislature this
month, lost a round in Circuit
Court here yesterday. 1 . . ,'
Circuit Judge P. K. Hammond
upheld a ruling from the State
Board of Agriculture which de
nied Deetz a grade A license
because his dairy did not meet
the board's regulations for grade
A plants.
Deetz had contended his milk
met the sanitary requirements
for grade A and the board said
their tests showed this was true
but that they could not make
exceptions to their regulations.
from O and C and land grant
tracts. . -
Total timber cut on nations,
forests of Oregon was l.owu.uuo,
000 board feet of logs, with
much bug-killed and over-mature
timber yet to be removed.
Even so, it is the best record so
far for federal forest lands. But
taking all improvements into
consideration, private lands have
supplied more than 80 per cent
of the timber harvested during
the last 10 years. With the gov
ernment owning about 60 per
cent of the forest lands in Ore
gon, this percentage, forest ob
servers say, is out of economic
balance. In 1953 mor than 5,800,
000,000 board feet were cut from
private lands.
Dependent on" Resources
Other, experts say that more
than half of Oregon's 1,500,000
population is dependent in sub
stantial degree upon the timber
resources. - In turn, the nation
looks to Oregon for more than
23 per cent of the softwoods it
needs each year. Our forests are
renewable ' under -modern" -outlook.
But .. private output and
that from national forest : lands
must be more in balance, for
estry men say; . ; .. i i -
Oregonians are proud of the'
national forest system and con
sider it one of the best in the
world. The timber industry
needs the national forests and
have always worked well with
Uncle Sam's custodians.' But
even so an over-mature tree is
best out pf the woods, and the
industry in Oregon hopes the
federal forces will see to it that
harvesting of the old and dis
ease-struck timber is made both
possible and plausible. " -
