Work Started on '56
Timber Sale Program
Work has started on the 1956
calendar year timber sale plan
for O and C and public domain
land by the Medford district of
the Bureau of Land Manage
ment, Assisistant District For
ester John Carnegie has an
nounced. Representatives of the forest
Industry who wish to suggest
specific tracts of timber be
among those offered for sale
next year may obtain applica
tion forms and submit sugges
tions at the BLM office in the
Medford City hall prior to Aug.
15, Carnegie said.
Factors Considered
The timber sale plan Is pre
pared by BLM personnel on the
basis of volume of timber wnicn
can be sold under scientific sus
tained yield management. Also
taken Into consideration Is man
power available to prepare for
and supervise sales of timber,
necessary for sound silvicultur-
al practices and interest Indicat
ed by prospective purchasers In
specific tracts.
Priority will be given timber
suggested by industry represen
tatives provided certain require
ments are fulfilled, Carnegie
said.
Other Restrictions
Timber which will be sold
must be either old growth or
salvage, and tracts approved to
be included in the plan will be
scattered throughout the district.
Carnegie said no sale will be
scheduled so large that it pre
cludes the average operator from
bidding.
No timber will be offered un
less equal access is assured all
prospective purchasers and
terms and conditions of access
are available to any bidder in
advance of the sale, Carnegie
said.
The BLM requires that manu
facturing of timber into lumber,
plywood, pulp or other items
must be accomplished within the
boundaries of the established
marketing area in which timber
is located. The exception, Carne
gie said, is that salvage timber
which does not receive a bid
may be processed in an O and C
marketing area if purchased
within 90 days of the date the
timber is offered for sale.
The three marketing areas in
the Medford district of the Bur
eau of Land Management are
Klamath, Jackson and Josephine
counties.
Second Man Dies
After Collision
Portland (U.R) Toll of a
head-on collision on the Colum
bia river expressway at Bridal
Veil rose to two Saturday with
the death of 17-year-old Arden
LeRoy Bye, Stayton, in a Fort
land hospital.
Oakley M. Hinkley, 67. of
southeast 176th Avenue, Port
land, died in the hospital earlier.
: Police said both men were
alone in their cars and apparent
ly crashed head-on without see
ing the other car approach.
There were no skid marks and
no witnesses tot he crash. Both
cars were demolished.
The double death raised the
Multnomah county death toll
outside Portland to 12.
Yreka Man Killed
In Highway Accident
Yreka. Calif. (U.R) Clyde
Ward, 36, of Yreka, was killed
early Saturday when car in
which he was a passenger skid
ded out of control and over
turned on U.S. Highway 99 south
of here.
The California Highway Patrol
said Ward was thrown from the
car and the rear wheel passed
over his body, killing him in
stantly. The driver of ..the car, Joe
Allen Page, 27, said he lost con
trol on a soft shoulder 15 miles
south of here. He was treated
for minor injuries.
The timber sale plan propos
ed by the district forester is re
viewed by the state supervisor
of the BLM and by the district
advisory board. The necessary
changes made before the plan is
adopted will be made public.
The 1956 plan is the seventh
prepared by the bureau in
which locations and approximate
volumes of each timber tract
and the calendar quarter during
which it will be offered for sale
has been publicized prior to the
start of the year, Carnegie said.
The bureau here has made a
special effort to prepare and an
nounce the annual sale plan,
Carnegie said, so the forest in
dustry can better plan the en
suing year's operations and so
tracts may be examined prior to
participation in bidding.

Patterson was informed this
week by the Federal Forestry
department under the Depart
ment of Agriculture that $36,000
had been authorized to be spent

Attorney General
Wants OLCC to Let
Him See Documents
Salem (U.R) Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton said he
wants the Oregon Liquor Con
trol Commission to let him in
spect documents and evidence
gathered last year on commis
sion employees accused of ac
cepting money and gifts from
distilleries and liquor license ap
plicants.
He filed a petition in Marion
County Circuit Court Friday for
an alternative writ of mandamus
naming Liquor Commissioners
Lester Ireland, J. H. Sroufe and
Lowell Seaton; and Robert F.
Maguire and Howard I. Bobbitt,
Portland attorneys who investi
gated the charges, as defendants.
The commission has until
Aug. 1 at 2 p.m. to appear.
Says Commission Refused
Thornton said the commis
sion had refused to let him see
material gathered in the inves
tigation. He said:
"I have asked them three
times. I have also appealed to
Gov. Paul L. Patterson. Both
have refused to allow me to see
this evidence for reasons only
they can explain. '
The liquor commission is
under the appointive power of
the governor.
Thornton said another reason
for going to court is to get a
court ruling as to the powers of
the Attorney General's office for
investigation "and specifically
whether a department of the
state government can refuse to
permit the Attorney General to
inspect evidence obtained at pub
lic expense."
Hydroelectric Power

of power resources . said "indi
cations are that the favorable
hydro conditions may continue
through August as a result of the

Schooner Ramona
Increases Lead in
Transpacific Race
Aboard U.S. CGS Gresham at
sea tu.PJ xne iua-tooi
schooner Ramona, of San Fran
cisco, Saturday night increased
her lead to 20 miles over the
ketch Morning Star, of Los An
geles, and might set a new rec
ord in the transpacific yacht
rsce to Honolulu, it was report
ed.
It was the time-honored West
Coast rivalry all over again, San
Francisco versus Los Angeles,
as the two sailing yachts con
tinued their battle for the lead.
A mesage received by race in
formation officials in Los An
geles via Mackay radio said:
"Ramona is 1,035 miles from
Honolulu, leading Morning Star
by 20 miles. May break rec
ord . . .
The record is held by the
Morning Star.
The Ramona, out of the St.
Francis Yacht Club, had gained
13 miles over the 96-footer from
the Los Angeles Yacht Club
since the last official report this
morning.
Honolulu's prize entry, the 75-
foot schooner Constellation, was
reported still in third position,
but how far she was trailing the
front-runners was not known
immediately.
The radio message reported
18-knot winds, which kept alive
hopes aboard the leaders for a
new record. The current mark
is 10 days, 10 hours and 13 min
utes set in 1949 over the 2,225
mile course from San Pedro,
Calif.
Race information officials in
Los Angeles said they were un
able to contact the Morning Star
by radio Saturday night, ap
parently due to transmitter
trouble. They said they had to
reach the Coast Guard Cutter
Gresham, escorting the 50 craft
in the race, via Mackay radio to
relay race information.
Second
Tune was when s man wouldn't have eon- -sidered
a Cadillac until he had owned four
or five or even six different motor cars.
But nowadays more and more motorists
like the happy man you see in the picture
above arc stepping right up from their
first car to a Cadillac.
There are, we think, two basic reasons
for this wonderful change. ,
. To begin with, the temptation to make
' the move to Cadillac has never been greater
than it is today.
The car's arresting grace and beauty . .v
its captivating luxury and graciousness . . .
Hopper Control Funds
Approved by Board
Salem (U.R) The State
Emergency Board, in special
meeting at the capitol here Fri
day, appropriated $34,300 as
match money to carry on a grass
hopper control program in Mor
row, Grant and Wallowa coun
ties.
The special meeting was
prompted by the fact that con
trol work must be carried out
between July 15 and 25 when
the females lay their eggs.
James Dutton, U. S. Agricul
ture Department employees in
charge of grasshopper control in
the Western states, told the
Emergency Board that the situa

ties was serious.

Three Executed at
Sing Sing Prison
For Holdup Murder
Ossining, N. Y. . (U.R) The
three notorious "Reader's Digest
killers" drank a final toast to
the living with soda pop Satur
day night and then went to their
deaths in Sing Sing prison's
electric chair, the losers in a
near-record legal fight.
The killers, Harry Stein, 58,
Nathan Wissner, 49, and Cai
man Cooper, 47, paid with their
lives for bungling a holdup job
in which they murdered a Read
er's Digest messenger more than
five years ago.
The death-dealing jolts of
electricity closed the case on a
note of mystery involving the
still unsolved sensational disap
pearance of Judge Joseph Crater
of New York nearly 25 years
ago.
Connected With Disappearance
Stein, tried and acquitted in
the strangulation murder of
Vivian Gordon, a prohibition
era playgirl and acquaintance of
Crater, was reported to have
been connected with Crater's
disappearance. He denied the
connection and the executioner
sealed Stein's lips forever.
The three men, numbers 582,
583 and 584 to be electrocuted
at Sing Sing, died shortly after
11 p.m. EDT, after a flurry of
last minute pleas for their ninth
stay of execution.
Three Supreme Court justices
and the acting governor turned
them down in their, final struggle
and they were sent on the "last
mile from nearby cells to the
prison's big, ugly electric chair.

the natural ice on the earth melt,
it would result in raising the lev

been brought to new peaks of perfection..
And secondly, the path that leads to
Cadillac has never before been so clearly
marked or so easily traveled.
Take original cost, for instance. The pur
chase price of the lowest-priced Cadillac is
actually little more than many models in
-the medium-price field.
And then consider Cadillac's gasoline
economy and upkeep expense. Few auto
mobiles of any size or make will travel
farther on a gallon of gasoline ... and the
car is so soundly built and so soundly
