Even with all-out presidential
support the plan faces an uncer

MAIL TRIBUNE
' one of the biggest controversies!
1 of the new congressional session I
by proposing:
1. A four-vear extension of
the draft combined with the new
National Reserve Plan.
2. Selective military pay in
crease averaging about 6.7 per
cent.
Congressmen and senators
who will handle the legislature
in committee predicted little
difficulty over extending the
draft, now due to expire June
30. Legislators generally agreed
with the President that there is
no other way to maintain mili
tary forces sizeable enough for
the period of "uneasy peace
ahead.
But many congressmen, tradi
tionaUy ' opposed to anything
smacking of UMT, cast a hostile
eye on the reserve program, par
ticular! v on its two kev iea-
tures. They call for compulsory
reserve duty after active service
and the training of 100,000
youths annually for six months
basic training followed by a 9V
years reserve duty.

plan came in the decision by
chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee to press ahead with the
draft measure, leaving the re
serve program for later consid
eration. One influential congressional
leader said that Vinson's action
would be "virtually a kiss of
death" for the reserve plan.
Parakeet Purchase
Warning Repeated
The importance of purchasing
parakeets and other similar
birds only from recognized deal
ers was stressed again today by
officials of the Jackson county
health department.
"There is no cause to worry
about contacting psittacosis if
you purchase a bird from a rec
ognized dealer," they said. They
pointed out that these dealers,
and local growers, "have been
abiding very well by the re
quirements."
A report from the Oregon
State Board of Health for the
week ending Dec. 25, 1954,
showed five cases of psittacosis
in the United States, with one
of them in the state of Wash
ington.
The Washington case was as
sociated witn a parakeet sup
plied by a man previously ar
rested in Oregon for illegal im
portation of parakeets, the re
port said. Local health authori
ties particularly warned against
purchasing birds from transient
door-to-door dealers.
Pine Operators
Grant Pay Raise
Portland (U.R) A "break"
in the pine industry was indi
cated today with the announce
ment that three pine operators
have granted the.7V& cent hour
ly pay increase recommended
by the governors' seven-man
panel.
A. F. Hartung, president of the
CIO International Woodworkers
of America, said none of the
Northwest's pine operators had
participated in the governors'
probe of last summer's strike
issues, and- the panel's recom
mendations were directed to the
Douglas fir industry. ''
The three pine firms were
Ohio Match, R. D. Lumber and
Atlas Tie Company, all of Coeur
d'Alene, Ida., employing a total
of 1000 men. The raise is retro
active to Jan. 1 and extends to
April 1, 1956. "
Hartung said negotiations with
Potlatch Forests, Inc., employing
about 1000 men in Idaho mills,
would . be resumed Jan. 18,
"It appears there is a break
in pine negotiations," he said.

Old Shakespearean
Programs Sought
To Fill Requests
Ashland William Patton,
general manager for the Oregon
Shakespeare- festival, today is
sued an urgent request for pro
grams of past festival seasons
particularly those before 1950.
Requests for programs from
libraries and educational insti
tutions, not only in the United
States but in many foreign coun
tries, are . multiplying, and the
supply in the festival collection
is exhausted.
From England
Last week brought requests'
from the Memorial Library in
Strafford-on-Avon and the Bir
mingham, England, library, for
complete collections, as well as
from the New York Public Li
brary and the State library in
Salem.
Programs printed before 1950
are exceedingly rare, the gen
eral manager noted, and the
only way to satisfy these re
quests is to have individuals do
nate programs which they may
have tucked among their keep
sakes. Only outstanding libraries
and institutions will get the rare
publications, Patton said, but
the festival association would
appreciate any spare programs
which can be rounded up.
