Consolidation of Agencies in Timber Work Seen Helpful Washington (U.R) Richard E. McArdle, chief of the U. S. Forest Service, said yesterday there would be a "great many advantages" to consolidating the timber work of three govern ment agencies. McArdle made the statement in response to questions by two members of a joint Senate-House subcommittee investigating fed eral timber sales policies. Reps. Charles R. Jonas (R. N.C.) and William E. Minshall (R.-O.) said there may be dupli cation in timber work by the forest service, the Bureau of Land Management and the Bu reau of Indian Affairs. Both in quired whether including all timber activities in one agency would provide the same services and save money. McArdle said such a combina tion would have disadvantages, but "the advantages probably would outweigh them." Jonas asked the agencies to supply charts' showing how many of their employees now are doing timber work. McArdle told the subcommit tee that there is a "tremendous demand" for government-owned timber. He said 45 per cent of the nation's softwood saw tim ber, which is in greatest de mand, islocated in national forests. Edward Woozley, director of the land management bureau, told Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R, Mich.) that Interior Secretary Douglas McKay "in my opinion is a real conservationist." Hoffman said he received complaints from conservation organizations about gas and oil leases on wild life refuges. Under Hoffman's questioning, Woozley said McKay's new reg ulations on leasing will protect wild life in the refuges. Mollet Strives for Pad Vacations Paris (U.R) Premier Guy Mollet was prepared today to stake the life of his young gov ernment on winning National Assembly ' approval of his bill to give French workers three' week paid vacations. The Cabinet decided yester- day that Mollet could poise a vote of confidence if necessary during the debate on the issue The bill was approved yester day by the Chamber's Labor Commission by 34 votes with all eight moderate deputies oppos ing. The vote indicated that the bill would have smooth sailing in the assembly. : But there are certain elements, notably the deputies of anti-tax crusader Pierre Poujade, who will not miss the chance to vote against the government. How ever, the opposition would not be strong enough to overthrow Mol let.

I would like to correct a state ment made in Feb. 15 column concerning the possibility of a vehicle bridge being built to re place the foot bridge washed out in December flood, just below Ruch on the Applegate river. In stead, work is continuing on con struction of a new foot bridge, and the Dunlaps are repairing their own private low water ve hicle bridge with the help of neighbors who are concerned.

Gerhardt of Applegate was recently absorbed in the art of fishing, intent on hooking a "big one." Simultaneously, a woodnecker was absorbed in pecking around an old limb, which was five inches in diame ter.

By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor . New York U.R) Science has provided a handy guide to help you determine why you married the woman (or man) you did marry in ease you've ever won dered. If you're not married, the guide can give you hints to the kind of woman (or man) you'll marry eventually. According to the studies of three psychologists, certain per sonality traits can be grouped together as "assertive," and an other set falls under the general head of "receptive." The psycho logical tendency is for "assert ives" to' marry "receptives" and vice versa. Personality Traits An "assertive" personality has these traits: (1) "To work dili gently to create something andor to emulate others"; (2) "To influence and control the be havior of others"; (3) "To fight, injure, or kill others." The "receptive" personality is marked by these traits (1) "To accept or invite blame, criti cism, or punishment"; (2) "To admire and praise others"; (3) "Fear, conscious or unconscious, of harm or misfortune arising from the hostility of others andor social reaction to one's own behavior." The psychologists are Robert F. Winch of Northwestern uni versity, Evanston, 111., and Tho mas and Virginia Ktsanes, Tu lane university, New Orleans. They have been engaged for some years in studying scientif ically the' psychic things which attract the sexes to one another and which the sexes are content ed to all "love." "Mate- selection," they report ed previously usually is based on "The greatest promise of pro viding him or her with maxi mum need gratification"; and this "great promise" is provided by "complementary" rather than "similar personality" traits.
