Plans Made To Distribute
Surplus Food In Louisiana
Baton Rouge, La. (UP.) The
government made plans Satur
day to distribute tons of surplus
food free to thousands of ' poverty-stricken
rural families in
Louisiana.
State officials said 76,000
sharecroppers, tenant farmers,
laborers and their families have
been qualified to share in the
first shipment of 100 train car
loads of the government surplus
food.
Welfare workers said new
cases of needy families are still
going on the records and the
total may swell to 100,000 by
the target date of first distribu
tion of the food during the week
of Jan. 23.
"I have been in the welfare
business many years," one state
welfare official said, "and I
don't know what those people
are living on.
.Exisiting On Flour
"Some of them are exisiting
on little sacks of meal and flour
and what little credit they have
remaining. There have been cas
es of mothers having to mix
flour and water for baby food."
Officials said the conditions
resulting from two years of bad
crops have become "close to
critical" in Red River, Grant
and Natchitoches parishes (coun
ties). Great numbersof the cases are
cropping out in Calcasieu and
St. Landry parishes in extreme
southwest Louisiana as well, it
was reported.
Speedy Action Directed
Gov. Robert Kennon ordered
the state welfare Department
to investigate each applicant for
the free food as quickly as pos
sible and said Commissioner Ed
ward P. Dameron "is doing a
fine job."
Dameron said the first ship
ment has been ordered through

Loggers Required
To File Reports
Of Removed Timber
Logging operators in Jackson
county must file a report prior
to March 3 of merchantable
timber severed or removed dur
ing 1955 for commercial use
from real property subject to
assessment by the state.
Reports must be filed in com
pliance with an act which went
into effect last August, Andrew
Hawver, assistant county asses
sor, reminded owners of mer
chantable timber.
The report must include a
legal description of the property
from which merchantable timber
was removed or severed. If only
a portion was cut, a statement
of the best estimate of merchant
able timber by species remain
ing uncut on described property
must be reported. Reports must
be signed by the owner or an
agent, the act specifies.
Hawver said forms reporting
merchantable timber severed or
removed are available at the
assessor's office.
Filed with Assessor
Reports must be filed with the
assessor in the county in which
the property is located. In cases
where property extends into two
or more counties, reports must
be filed with each assessor in
counties involved.
Merchantable timber includes
logs, poles and piling, accord
ing to the act, and owner means
the owner of merchantable tim
ber removed.
Hawver reminded operators
that persons who knowingly file
a report which is false or in
correct in any material respect
are guilty of perjury, and failure
to file within the prescribed
period of time constitutes a mis
demeanor.
Reports must be filed by
March 3 the year following the
calendar year during which
merchantable timber is severed
or removed.
Issuing New Phone
Directories To
Siarl Tomorrow
Recreational activity on Rogue
river is depicted in an artisfs
sketch on the front cover of
new telphone directories which
will be delivered to Pacific Tele
phone company subscribers in
the Medford area starting to
morrow. The sketch is copied from a
picture provided by the state
highway commission, and shows
a family camped near a bend in
the river.
Initial delivery will total 15,
455 directories, according to J.
H. Creager, telephone manager.
They will go to subscribers in
Medford, Central Point, Phoenix,
Jacksonville and Gold Hill. Of
the total, some 12,819 copies
will be delivered in person by
Products Development corpora
tion employees. The rest will be
mailed, Creager said.
Customers in Ashland and
Talent will receive the same
directory, but with a different
cover.
Festival Scene
The Elizabethean theater, site
of the Oregon Shakespearean
Festival, is shown on the cover
of Ashland and Talent direct
ories, Creager said, along with
an artist's sketch of two char
acters from the "Merchant of
Venice." The sketch was copied
from an original drawing done
some 500 years ago in London
by an unidentified artist. It was
loaned to the company's art de
partment by the Portland public
library.
Some 3,032 Ashland-Talent di
rectories will be delivered in
person, and 797 mailed, Creager
said.
Larger by 20 pages than last
year's directory, the Medford
Ashland book has 72 pages of
alphabetical listings, and 168
pages in the yellow-page class
ified section. A total of 27,000
directories were printed by Met
ropolitan Press of Portland, with
22,000 for Medford and 5,000
for Ashland.
The press run required 23,
679 pounds of paper to produce
the 6,480,000 printed pages.

Extending Indulgence
For Veterans Urged
Lenders holding GI loans have
been urged by Charles Lang-
don, regional office manager of
the- Veterans administration,
Portland, to extend indulgence
and forbearance to veterans who
are victims of recent rains and
flood damage.
In all cases where the veter
an's property has been destroyed
or damaged, or where periods of
unemployment, exist because of
the flood, the veteran should
seek relief from the lender hold
ing the present loan, Langdon
said.
VA regulations allow lenders
wide discretion in extending in-
dulgence to veterans whose
homes and employment have
been affected, by making ad
vances on existing GI loans and
granting time extensions in
which to make payments.
Langdon said that , it is too
early to appraise the damage, or
the number of veteran-families
who will need rehabilitation.

broke down when told of the
tragedy.
Mayor Ray Dennis offered a
personal reward of $100 for in
formation leading to the arrest
and conviction ' of the person

reward.
Susan was last seen by her
two older brothers talking to a
"strange man" in the St. Mary's
Roman Catholic church school
yard.

Washington (U.R) The Pub
lic Health Service Friday re
leased 1,017,531 shots of Salk
polio vaccine to the states and
territories for public agencies
and commerical outlets.
It also reallocated 40,500 shots
of unused vaccine from Louis
iana. The new allocation, 11th
under the voluntary control pro
gram, brought to 30,979,36Z tne
number of shots released since
April when the vaccine was
cleared as safe.
States and territories have
been granted 16,845,399 shots.
The National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis received 13,-
571,223 shots. Another 562.74U
shots were distributed commer
cially before the control pro
gram was set up.
Oregon Allocated
The allocated vaccine included
10.197 cc's for public and com-
merial release in Oregon. Wash
ington received 15,795 shots.
Portland (U.R) Oregon par-
rents Saturday were warned that
time is short to obtain immun
ization from polio for their chil
dren before this year's summer
polio season.
Dr. Charles E. Price, of San
Francisco, regional consultant to
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralasis, said January,
February and March were the
months Salk anti-polio shots
should be taken so that immun
ization can be developed by sum
mer.
Now that last year's polio sea
son is over, Dr. Price said, there
was "a little bit of lethargy
and false feeling of security"
among parents.
'Unwise' For Reds
To Attack Formosa
Taipei (U.R) It would be
"most unwise" for Red China
to launch an attack against For
mosa at this time, U. S. Air
Force Secretary Donald A. Qaur
les said Saturday.
" I am optimistic of our free
world air power compared to
that the Communists could
mount against us," Quarles said
at a news conference shortly
before leaving for Manila, Bang
Kok and Saigon.
He said it would be unneces
sary for the U.S. to try to match
the Reds plane-for-plane in the
Formosa area because "this is
a part of our global position
and they know it."
The air force secretary said
his short visit to Formosa in
cluded two days of "frank . and
cordial" talks with Generalis
simo Chiang Kai-shek. '
He said he agreed with the
Chinese Nationalist leader that
it would be unnecessary to train
Nationalist Chinese pilots in the
use of atomic weapons at this
time, although the Nationalists
now have F-84 Thunderjet fight-ter-bombers
capabale of carry
ing the atomic bomb.
