Republic of San Marino (U.Ri

some 1,600 voters Sunday to
beat the Democrats in a show
down election and retain con

By winning, the Reds
thwarted a concerted drive by
an American delegation and the
tiny republic's non-voting wom

democracy.
The electoral o f I i c e an
nounced 3,003 votes for- the
Communists and their Socialist
allies, and 2,358 for the Chris

Sawdust Empire ...
Next winter or spring Alfred
A. Knopf who published "Paul
Bunyan" and other books of mine
in the 1920s will bring forth
a new volume on the Pacific
Northwest, entitled "Sawdust
Empire." It is by Howard M.
Brier, journalism professor at
the University of Washington,
author of many popular juve
nile stores, and former director
of the Keep Washington Green
Association.
Thousands of young husbands
and fathers of today all over the
U. S. A. swore by Brier's stories
of flying and industry in their
high school years. None of them
can doubt that the Brier ability
to keep a story sailing while cit
ing educational items about the
passing scenes and people will be
at work in his adult story of the
Northwest.
Howard Brier's groundwork
knowledge of the Pacific North
west country was gained, in large
part, through service with "Keep
Green." As Assistant KWG direc
tor under Stewart Holbrook in
1943, Brier traveled around and
around Washington state.
Then as Holbrook's successor
he added excursions into Oregon,

Idaho, Northern California and
British Columbia. With his own
writing and a full-time university
teaching job, Brier's hands over
flowed with work to do, as Keep
Green grew on and on into a
powerful conservation move
ment. So he retired to just two
jobs.
In education, Brier's specialty
was high school journalism. For
several years he has conducted
an immensely successful annual
convocation of western high
school journalists and faculty
advisers at the University of
Washington, under the banner
of "Pacific Slope Press." A long
time member and former presi
dent of Seattle Free Lances, the
grand lodge of the region's pro
fessional writers, Literatus Brier
spends a splendid share of what
he solemnly calls his "idle time"
in teaching the wjriting of juve
nile fiction to extension classes.
The title of the forthcoming
Knopf book by busy Brier sug
gests that at last there's to be a
volume on the nation's north
west corner that puts the forest
industry out front as the region's
economic powerhouse, with lum
ber the big wheel of our "Saw
dust Empire."
Publisher with Bark On ...
Alfred Knopf told me about
"Sawdust Empire" on a drive
that began at dawn, up from
Seattle and around Rainier Na
tional Park. It was a rare ex
perience to hear him hold forth
with such enthusiasm about west
ern forests and mountains and
books, and to cogitate that for
nigh on 40 years Knopf fame
has grown as the chief American
publisher of the great modern
books of Europe.
The Scandinavian countries
are particularly in debt to Al
fred A. Knopf and to his wife,
Blanche W. Knopf, who has been
his working partner all the way
through for making the finest
writers of the old countries
known to American readers. Re
cently Alfred flew to Switzerland
to help celebrate the 80th 'birth
day of the mightiest man of the
written word on his list Thom
as Mann.
At the same time, the Knopfs
have searched all corners of the
United States for writers with
things new, significant, or simply
amusing to say about their native
land and its lore. They have just
published a small book with big
values by Stewart Holbrook on
James J. Hill, for example.
Alfred is serving his last year
as chairman of the Advisory
Board on National "Parks, His
toric Sites, Buildings and Monu
ments. He is primed with first
hand facts. on most of these U.S.
Government reservations, large
and little.
With Super. Preston Macy and
Snoqualmie National Forest Su
pervisor Lawrence Barrett lead
ing the way, and the weather
shining bright, the publisher of
Thomas Mann and Howard Brier
had himself a great day in our
Cascade Mountains. His final
comment was not literary but it
came from the heart:
"Well, you people , have got
yourselves a mountain."

Appeal Considered
In Railroad Ruling
Salem (U.R) Public Utilities
Commission Charles H. Heltzel
said yesterday an appeal was un
der consideration from a Circuit
Court decision which gave the
Portland Traction Company the
right to reduce interurban runs
without approval of the Public
Utilities Commission.
Heltzel said he would study
the problem with John McCul
lough, his counsel, before mak
ing a decision.
The official said hearings on
the traction company service cut
and on abandonment of railroad
passenger service by Southern
Pacific from Portland to Ash
land would be scheduled. If
need for service is shown, re
storation of schedules may be
ordered.
WANTS STORM BOMBS
Wilmington, N.C. (U.R)
George Brown, of Los Angeles,
suggested today in a letter to
the Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce that "man-made old
style bombs" fired into the cen
ter of Hurricane Diane would
dissipate the storm. He said that
the Los Angeles chamber send
on the same remedy for the late
Hurricane Connie but said they
didn't do so.
Detroit flJ.R) The man who
wrote America's all-time best
selling book was a noted scholar
but a poor businessman.
The author, William Holmes
McGuffey, sold his famous "Ec
lectic Readers" to his publisher
with the agreement he would re
ceive a 10 per cent royalty until
the sum reached 51,000, after
which the books became the pub
lisher's property.
If McGuffey had received only
a penny a copy ,he would have
collected more than $1,220,000

Norwegian Consul Probes Ship Explosion
.. San Francisco (U.R) Acting
Norwegian Consul General An
ton Smith-Meyer prepared to
day to open a hearing into an
engine room explosion aboard
the Norwegian freighter Tan
cred that killed two crew mem
bers and injured four others
last Saturday.
The proceedings were to be
held in the consulate offices.
They were to be closed to the
public.
Smith-Meyer said he would
call all witnesses who could
help determine the cause " of
the mysterious explosion.
A spokesman for the U.S.

place outside its jurisdiction.
The scene of the accident was
120 miles west of San Francis
co. The Tancred was bound for
San Francisco from Yokohama
at the time.
