McTimmonds Brothers, Grants Pass, have uncovered a' new mas sive chromite body on claims they were leasing on Red Moun tain, about 12 miles southwest of Ashland, according to the latest issue of The Ore.-Bin, pub lication of the Oregon depart ment of geology and mineral industries. During the latter part of 1954, they shipped 18 tons of lump chrome which averaged more than 51 per cent chromic oxide. Their latest shipment assayed 55.7 per - cent chromic oxide, with - a . chrome - iron ratio of 3.92 to i, and brought $165.28 a ton at the buying station in Grants Pass; Ore.-Bin reports that the ore is unusual, in that fractures in the massive chromite are coated with malachite, a hydrous cop per carbonate. 1 In other southern Oregon min ing news, the publication states that Tulare i Brothers Mining company, Gold Hill, has leased fiveiChrome properties on Chetco divide in Curry county. The properties were leased from J. R. 'Holman, Walter B. Freeman, and LaVern Twom- bley. They include the Wonder group, Daily Dozen group, Roy Jackson group, Bowser proper ties, and the .: White claims. Holman and associates de veloped the j Wonder property and erected5 an 80-ton mill dur ing the summer of 1954.

Loran Stewart (R-Cot-tage Grove) uncovered $3,000, 000 in" underestimates of rev enue by just two state agencies. Stewart, chairman of the House Taxation Committee, levelled a blast of criticism at the super-conservative estimates of how much money will be taken in , during the 1955-57 biennium. He made a table thumping demand for realistic rather than conservative revenue estimates. ) Increase From OLCC He succeeded in obtaining an increase of well over $2,000,000 from officials of the Liquor Con trol Commission when they re vealed their revenue expecta tions on a realistic rather than a conservative basis. Earlier, the insurance commissioner had agreed to increase his estimate of revenue by $750,000. Jack Elliott, accountant for the liquor commission, told the committee he had been asked by the state budget division for a conservative estimate. Stewart replied that he did not intend to imply criticism of the depart ments but he pointed out that Oregon taxpayers were entitled to a more realistic view of their financial position. Asked To Justify Drop .. Stewart uncovered the vari ance in revenue estimates by close questioning of Elliott and Liquor : Administrator : William H. Baillie. He asked, them to justify a drop in revenue of more than a . $1,000,000 even though the commission had completed its capital investment of $1,250, 000 for the new Milwaukie ware house. Elliott attributed the drop to an expected further drop off in sales but soon admitted the loss would not be as great as shown by the revenue figures. The liquor commission also came under fire from Rep. Wal ter Pearson (D-Portland) for building what' he called "that unconstitutional warehouse" at Milwaukie. Pearson suggested that liquor revenues would have been fatter for the current bien nium if the commission had not invested in the new facility just south of Portland. He asserted that it was unnecessary. , Critical of Proposal Baillie and Elliott, in turn, were critical of the proposal-in the Democratic tax program for an eight per cent increase In liquor prices charged consum ers by the commission. They said it would place Oregon in an unfavorable competitive posi tion witn neighboring states and would likely decrease sales even more than in the past six months. They also rejected as "not economically feasible" Pearson's suggestion that liquor stores around the state be kept open until midnight so that the state might collect revenues Pearson said was now going to "bootleggers."

SEE THE ALL NEW TRIUMPH RACER Daytona Beach Alloy Engine SPICIAL U N.T.C. Approved White's Cycle Shop Mysterious Further Developments in Harvey Waited Mafusov Case AS? By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) The Jus tice department today awaited nrna mvsterious further devel opments in the 'strange case of Harvey M a t u usow. Matusow is t h e t u r n coat Commu nist, who now s a y s h e lied about Red con nections of and many Lyle C. Wilson . others who have been indicted or even jail ed as subversives or perjurers. . The official word around the Justice department was no comment. But to friendly ears it also was whispered that some further developments were ex pected in about a week and that it would be foolish for the de partment to get into the act now. Two Hard Facts Moreover, the department would not know at the moment on what counts of perjury to seek to indict Matusow. , The question is whether Matusow was lying in 1952 and 193 when he testified before the McCar thy committee and; elsewhere that certain individuals and 'or ganizations had Communist con nections or whether he is lying now when he says he ,lied then. It is as confusing as that, per haps. There are two hard facts. More may develop. First, Matu sow now denies some of the tes timony over a period of two years in which he tagged up wards of 180 persons as Com munists. Second, this denial casts some degree of shadow over the testimony of all former Communists who have been, act ing as more or less professional witnesses in exposing alleged former pals before federal in vestigators and juries. ' Was Matusow Planted? - The most important impac': of Matusow's turn about would be on. others former : Communists who have been willing witnesses and on the opinion of the public with respect to their credibility. If Matusow's switch :ould swing public opinion " heavily against Whittaker Chambers .or Louis F. Bvilenz, for instance,-1 the whole past pattern of the so called Red hunt in this country would be scrambled, with con siderable political consequences. Matusow is the author of a book "False Witness," soon to be published. The United Press was told that the book contains a passage about a Communist school for fitnesses.

' : The brotherhood took a strike vote last November and the Na tional Mediation Board was as signed to study the dispute last month. However, no agreement has been reached and Arthur F. Kummer, assistant grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood, said, "We're not going to talk to the railroad any more," The dispute, centering on a demand by about 30 engineers for a pay hike, could be de layed under the Railway Labor Act. President Eisenhower would have to appoint an emer gency board to attempt a settle ment during a "cooling off' . period. . munis ts were taught the drama tics of persuasive lying, accord ing to the book. The most skilled could be planted to tell such stories on the witness stand as would serve : Communist inter ests. : " r.i. I: -, ; Chairman Francis E. Walter of the House Un-American Ac tivities committee -told" the House Thursday there was no doubt that Matusow had been planted by the Communists to make ' his accusations and then to destroy credibility of other anti-Communist witnesses by de nying them. " . - Non-Farm Work On Coast Mounts San-Francisco (U.R) Non farm employment in - Pacific Coast states showed a slight in crease during December 1954 over the same month in 1953, according to the U. S. Depart ment of Labor. -' The department reported 5, 146,200 persons' were employed in non-farm seasonal work ' in mid-December. It was an in crease of 60,700 over November. 1954 and 16,300 over December 1953.- ;-.-;V- i,--,- California showed a gain of 63,700 over the previous month, but Washington and Oregon dropped 600 and 2,400 respect ively from November ' levels. Both states, however, were more than 8,000 ahead of year ago levels. Manufacturing employment in the three-state area was off slightly. . .

But it is true. And when you look into the facts, you'll find these two solid truths: Buick is one of the "Big Three" in sales volume and hotter this year than ever before. And Buick is one of the "Big Three" when it comes to prices which make such popularity possible. The price we show here proves it. : So why not get what a Buick has to offer, if you are in the market for a new car? You find that the dollars you pay for Buick buy you a lot more automobile. and the sheer satisfaction that comes with bossing a brawny traveler of this caliber. . You find it in the record-high V8 power that gives life to this spirited performer. You find it in the soft t and level and cruiser-steady ride that comes of all- tfofitrorod coil springing and torque-tube stability. You find it in the extra roominess, the extra frame strength, the . extra tread width, the extra silencing all part and . parcel of every Buick. We could tell you about the little things, too. Things usually charged for as "extras" in other cars, but yours as standard equipment at no extra cost in every Buick. Things like direction signals; oil-bath . air cleaner, full-flow oil filter, automatic lighting in glove and trunk compartments and so on. But-you get the idea. This is a buy, this '55 Buick a great buy and a thriller from the instant you press its gas pedal. Come in this week and check things for yourself, won't you? 4 ,;; ' z '':'v'.Jr ..'.
