The announcement said Mar tin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Martin, Tulelake, probably would be tried by general court martial at Fort Lewis, Wash.

Martin was specifically charg ed with "attempting to promote disloyalty and disaffection among fellow prisoners of war, with knowingly communicating, corresponding and holding inter course with and giving aid and comfort to the enemy" between June, 1951, and April, 1953. Martin was captured by the North Korean Communists on Nov. 17, 1950, and was, released during operation "little iwitch" in April, 1953. Father Denies Guilt At Tulelake, Martin'g father said his son could not possibly be guilty of the charge. "I know my boy is not guilty," Martin said. "I don't think he could have possibly given any aid and comfort to the enemy the way he was marked up." Martin said his son had serious shrapnel wounds in his back and legs, and his feet and hands were badly frozen when he was freed during operation "little switch." The elder Martin said he would fight the charges against his son. "I think the Army is very, very unjust," he said. "It has been awfully damn tough with all those boys who were in North Korean prison camps." MASON'S Old Fasbioaod ROOT BGER to v. i jar M-M-Ml TASTE THAT OLD FASHIONED ROOT BEER FLAVOR iJO 01.

Grape Ph. 2-2339 O&C Timber Access Road Regulations Aired at Hearing Portland (U.R) Pros and cons of present and proposed O&C timber access road regulations were argued at.a Bureau of Land Management hearing here yes terday. The hearing was resumed to day. Arguing against existing right-of-way regulations were Harry Hogan, The Dalles, coun sel for the Industrial Forestry association; Nils Hult, Junction City lumber operator and a di rector of the IFA, and Joseph Nolan of Tacoma, Wash., Weyer haeuser Timber company at torney. . Smaller operators, represented by Western Forest Industries as sociation, opposed changing pres ent -regulations. Their views were expressed by Leonard Net- zorg, WFIA counsel; Jack Buch anan of Sutherlin and Ray Swan son of Noti, WFIA officers. IFA attorneys said the worst feature of the present access road rules was the amortization method of paying for roads through landgrant lands. They claimed it gave the government rights similar to those of the road owner, once the road was paid for. The other group argued that present rules offer "greater asr surance of competition" for O&C timber. Judge Carl C. Hill of Rose burg, speaking for the 18 O&C counties, said amending present regulations was preferred to in stalling new ones.

Actually you need more than just high octane you need a gasoline with a special kind of additive. That's because the way most of us drive most of the time short trips here and there creates a ' power wasting problem that neither engine design nor highest octane, gasoline can solve by themselves. - This problem is the increased build-up of certain ; deposits within the combustion chambers '. . . the prin cipal cause of power waste. What happens is this x As your engine warms up, these deposits warm up, too glow red hot. And these glowing particles act like hot coals ignite the gasoline mixture ahead of time . . . before the pistons reach proper firing position. This is called pre-firing and means that power works against you instead oifor you. In addition, these same deposits have another power-wasting effect: ' They foul spark plugs, causing your engine to miss. Engineers will tell you there's nothing more wasteful of power and gasoline than pre-firing and spark plug "miss." But there's an answer there's out high octane gasoline that gives you all the advantages of high octane without the power-crippling effects of these deposits Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP. . TCP, the Shell-developed addi- tive, fireproofs the deposits so. that they no longer cause pre-firing. No longer can they glow red hot and ignite the gasoline mixture. And TCP stops spark plug "miss," too. Your spark plugs do the job they are sup posed to do. Start getting the full power built into your engine. Get Shell Premium with TCP. It's the most powerful gasoline your car can use! ShoU'i Trademark foe this unique gasoline addfthw developed by Shell Research. Patent applied toe. Only Shell Premium Gasoline has both TCP and High Octane !
