MAIL TRIBUNE Porcupine HOW TO DO IT As summer comes back, so does the battle of the porcu pine, the difference of opinion between those who kill por cupines because porcupines eat trees and those who defend the porcupine as the creature who was there long before man got dominion over fir and pine. We've taken the porcupine's side, most of the time, but we've tried also to be fair. In that spirit of fairness we pass on the advice of Bend's irrepressible Paul Hosmer who is on the other (the wrong) side. Writing in his "Pine Echoes," Paul tells how to catch a porcupine. - First thing, he says, you sneak up on the critter and drop a washtub over hir.i. That way, you've got a place to sit down while you figure what to do next. THE ABOVE is from the nature-loving editorial ister-Guard, who has been conducting a spirited, though largely unsuccessful, defense of the porcu pine. Porcupine defenders have been few and far be tween in recent years. Up until this week, we counted ourselves among them. Our change of heart, if such it can be called, was the result of a trip into the group of foresters who look upon porky with a jaun diced and murderous eye. We were shown evidences of the tremendous dam age they do to growing and potentially valuable trees, which has been estimated "conservatively" at $65 per animal per year. XE WERE TOLD of other types of depredation T how the prickly little officially) consume vast than the soft, inner bark of trees; things which man kind finds useful and expensive. We were told how a "Cat" was left to sit overnight on one logging operation, and when it was inspected in the morning, porcupines were found to have eaten the seat, the fan-belt, the nition wires, and parts of the tires damage wnicn amounted to several hundred dollars. They like salt, and items associated with human perspiration, as the handles of axes, shovels or picks, are often chewed away if left carelessly about. One group destroyed a brand-new fire hose ielt out over night by a lumber company's forest fire fighters. " m m e e IN ADDITION, the pincushion beasts are hated by livestock men and orchardists. In the case of the former, they can cause a cow to die if some of their auills become buried m the In the case of the latter, they trees as enthusiastically as Thus the forces of mankind, with a few excep tions such as Bob Frazier, are pretty well allied against the porcupine. His ranks must be decimated, it is proclaimed, to save our forests and orchards and herds of livestock. Poor porky !

' We observed four a distance they appear as sensitive, auivermg brown The lightning-fast backlash of their quill-equipped tail, however, makes them dangerous at close quarters, and gave rise to the old superstition that they can throw their quills. The more one observes a porcupine, the less love ly he becomes. The chief reason, we suspect, is the smell an awful, rancid stench which, those who should know inform us, is one of the big hazards to those engaged in hunting In addition to their other are prone to become hosts for wood ticks, which be come fat and bloated on their blood. "IITE WATCHED as one was killed the other day, as a demonstration in an argument over which would be the better' bounty evidence the nose or a front paw. Now we do not class ourselves as overly fastidious. But the combination of the nauseating smell ; the des perate, flailing attacks with the tail ; the dying agon ies of the beast, the dripping blood and the bloated ticks these left us with little heart for any campaign at all, either pro- or anti-porcupine. Let the campaign begin, let the trees and the cattle be saved, and let the dried noses (or paws) of the porcupines mount up. But leave us out of it. E. A.

Washington GOP leaders are not seriously concerned yet about the political consequences of the slump in Detroit and other auto centers. But if the situa tion doesn't improve by election day, they say it could create trouble. Latest Department . of Labor surveys find 185,000 auto work ers off the job in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, California, New York, Illinois and Wisconsin. Unem ployment is heaviest in the De- troit area, added to the Depart ment's "distressed area" list in May. Auto Districts A Congressional Quarterly survey, part of a continuing an alysis of Congressional districts based on the 1950 census, dis closed 117 districts each of which has more than 1,000 auto work ers. Races in these districts will help determine who controls Congress in 1957. The Democrats now have a 231-202 advantage in the House, with two seats vacant. In 1954, the last Congression al election year, the 117 districts sent 68 Republicans and 49 Democrats to the House. Twenty- one Republicans won their races with less than 55 per cent of the vote; only 10 Democrats had such a narrow edge. Eleven of the seats changed hands that year; Democrats picked up nine new seats; Republicans, two. In 1954, as in 1956, there was a summer slump in the auto in dustry. Employment picked up in the fall, but not in time to help the Republicans at the polls. GOP strategists fear the same thing may happen this year. Some Not to Run It may be an indication of the way the wind is blowing that four of the 21 Republican in jmbents have decided not to seek reelection. None of the 10 Democrats has made that de cision. ' , The retiring Republicans are Reps. Shepard J. Crumpacker of Indiana (23,821 auto workers, aU told, unemployment center ing in South Bend and Michi gan City); Jesse P. Wolcott of Michigan (23,818 auto workers, unemployment in Port Huron); George A. Dondero of Michigan In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Farm markets note: Hog receipts went down and HOG PRICES WENT UP at Mid west markets Monday. Last week, the reverse was tru with hog receipts going up and hog prices going down. As a result, prices today rang ed from steady to 50 cents HIGH ER than last Friday in the East ern cornbelt THAT lends emphasis to a state- - ment made the other day by Secretary of Agriculture Benson. Speaking at the state dairy festi val in Rutland, Vt., he said: "Once farm surpluses are dis posed of, it will be necessary to AVOID LIKE A PLAGUE poli cies and programs that would create NEW over-supplies of farm products. He added: "Tb.e government's new soil bank program is designed to bring farm production into bal ance with markets by 1959, but I must emphasize that it is not a program to empty government bins and warehouses SO THAT THEY MAY BE FILLED AGAIN." THAT is to say: Trm Enil Vianlr t .Ai,.m. ment-subsidized program to TA PER OFF farm production to the point where demand (which is based on consumption) will again balance supply. It is in tended to act as a stop-gap dur ing the period when we are worsung on me immense sur pluses that have accumulated be cause we lacked the political courage at the end of World War II to put an end to the subsidies that were intended to stimulate production during the war years when we neeed greatly expand ed farm production in order to feed ourselves and our allies. If we have the political cour age now to accept the fact that the soU bank is merely a taper ing off process designed to bring farm markets back into balance with supply and demand, it will work. If it works, it will be worth what it is going to cost which will be a lot. TUT - As Secretary Benson says . If we use the soil bank merely as a temporary scheme to subsi dize UNDER-PRODUCTION during the period when we are emptying the presently over stuffed warehouses and then go back to vote-catching policies and programs that will create NEW over-supplies of farm pro ducts, we'll be in a pickle again. That is plain common tease. (44,700 auto workers; unemploy ment in Pontiac); and Karl C. King of Pennsylvania (3,711 auto workers). . Other incumbents whose fu tures may depend largely on the auto workers' votes: Rep. John M. Robsion Jr. (R Ky.), a winner by 573 votes in 1954, had 2,258 auto workers in his Louisville district. His office reports no big layoffs yet in the Ford assembly plant, larg est in the district. Rep. Paul F. Schenek (R-Ohio), who won by 8,116 votes in 1954, had 9,300 auto workers in Day ton, Hamilton and Middletown. Employment in Layton General Motors plants is down 4,300 since Jan. 1. Rep. Lawrence H. Smith (R Wis.), who won by 10,968 votes in 1954, had 11,119 auto workers in his district. Kenosha is on the Department of Labor's "distres sed area" list, indicating unem ployment above 6 per cent. Distressed Area Rep. Don Hayworth (D-Mich.), who won by 3,990 votes in 1954, had 71,220 auto workers in his district. Flint is officially classi fied as a distressed area. Rep. Martha W. Griffiths (D- Mich.), who won by 6,645 votes in 1954, had 27,948 auto workers in her Detroit-Wayne county dis trict. Detroit is a "distressed area." Rep. Thomas L. Ashley (D Ohio), who had a pluraUty of 3,815 votes over the next candi date in a three-way race in 1954. The 1950 census counted 14,450 auto workers in Toledo and un employment in the area report edly hit 12,000 last month. The auto workers also could play a vital role in this year's fight for Senate control. The Re publicans, with 47 seats, need net gain of two to win a Senate majority. Six of the seven leading auto manufacturing states have Sen ate contests this fall, the ex ception being Michigan. Republicans wiU defend seats in California, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, each with a sizeable population of auto workers. The sixth state. New York, will fill the post now held by Democrat Herbert H. Leh man. In the four midwestem states, particularly, an auto industry slump could cut into the city vote Republicans hope will off set expected farm losses.

A Tree Falls To the Editor: Well, the mighty oak at West Main and Hamilton is no more. And it's most unlike ly it could have been saved had there been some heroic voice proclaiming, "Woodman, spare that tree, etc., our rapidly ad vancing civilization being what and such as it is. Being in the center of the double lot, it could have been built around. But there would have been the ever present worry of a big heavy limb crashing down on rooftop. And had the aged oak showed signs of decay and death, the cost would have been out of all reason to lower it by block and tackle. So, a gasoline saw was used to dismember it limb by limb, some of shade-tree size, then some two hours of steady whittling to bring the old giant crashing down, a healthy old specimen of the black-oak tribe, clean and solid the full 24 inches to the heart center. Ten growth rings to the inch, varying some in thickness, route testimony to the dry and wet years of long ago. The Spanish were pretty much in control here, or thought they were, when the oak first lifted its leafy crown, for the U.S.A. was but a hopeful gleam in the eyes of black stockinged citizen ry, far to the east. It really is a tragic thought to see nigh a quarter millenium of precarious growth, surviving the hazards of drouth and storm, to be laid low in a few hours. But it was a field day for neighboring chil dren who scampered like mon keys over the great fallen trunk and limbs, leaving the sadness to older ones. But saddest of all were the pair of doves who had nested each year in the oak be yond memory of people present, fluttering from tree to tree left standing, bewildered at the trag edy that had come to them. For it required no imagination to note the questioning plaint in their cry that always has a sad like quality, for now their two babies lie dead by the home nest, its simple ways scattered among the broken limbs and leaves.

Shepilov is getting off to a fast start as Soviet for eign minister. Less than two weeks aft er his appoint ment, Shepilov has lined him self up an im portant diplo matic tour. It is one on which he may be able to do Charles aiccajin me ureniiin a lot of good and the United States, Great Britain and France a lot of harm. Shepilov first is going to Egypt then on to Syria, Leban on and Greece. This will give him the oppor tunity to meddle in several sit uations which closely concern the Big Three western allies. The situations include the Baghdad Defense Pact, which Egypt and most of the other Arab countries oppose, the Pal estine dispute between the Arabs and Israel, the revolt against France in Algeria and the Cy prus dispute between Britain and Greece. WiU Join Celebration In Cairo, Shepilov will join in the whooping-and-hollering celebration by Egyptians of the final evacuation of British .. .J. SMIM.SM. 4,145 County Residents Received. Monthly Benefits A total of 4.145 persons in Jackson county were receiving $207,223 monthly in benefits under the old-age and survivors insurance provisions of the so cial security program at the end of 1955, W. V. Nusbaum, man ager of the local office, has announced. The total represents an in crease of 614 beneficiaries and $38,173 in monthly benefits over 1954. The largest group of benefi ciaries consisted of retired work ers, Nusbaum said, with 2,537 in Jackson county and 1,203 in Josephine county. In Josephine county, Nusbaum said, 1,890 ben eficiaries were receiving $92, 438 monthly at the end of 1955, compared to 1,609 receiving $74, 854 at the end of 1954. Other Groups Other groups In Jackson and Josephine counties receiving pay ments, and the amounts included wives, 989, $29,853; children under 18 years of age, 824, $30,- ua, widows, 348, ?15,743; and mother of children under 18 years of age, 124, $5,836.

We contend that the sight of the American Flag proudly wav ing from every home or business establishment every day, would have more of a discouraging ef fect on those seeking to over throw our way of life for Com munism, than a display of atomic power, In the more advanced novels and motion pictures dealing with war experiences, those which are called realistic for want of better word, patriotism is min imized, if not actually ridiculed. According to these earthy, cyn ical stories, every man in the fighting forces is worrying more about how much he lost on the last crap game, the quality of drinking liquor he can get hold of, or if there are enough females to go around, in the nearest town, than he is about protect ing and advancing Old Glory in the battle. It is no doubt effective to pre sent every fighting man as most ly interested in his own affairs, and heroic only when a spurt of natural adrenalin prods him into unthinking action, but at the risk of sounding "corny" I don't mind protesting that there are many disabled veterans who are not ashamed to admit that patriotism is still with us. The cleaning establishments of Medford that have declared their willingness to clean any Amer ican Flag no matter what size, free of charge, providing the Owner display the freshly clean ed and shiny Stars and Stripes on Flag Day, June 14th, are to be commended. We hope to see many Amer ican Flags fluttering in the bre eze on Thursday, June 14.. Let's get them out and dust them off.

He also will be able to talk, openly or secreUy, to the Arab leaders who from their Cairo headquarters are directing the revolt against France in Algeria and fermenting new revolts in Tunisia and Morocco. He wiU be able to talk over with Egyptian Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser the supply of arms by the Communist countries to Egypt, and possibly to Saudi Ar abia, for use against Israel. In Syria and Lebanon, Shep ilov is expected to concentrate on Palestine. In Greece, Shepilov's job will be to try to restore good Russian relations with that country and to do as much harm as possible to Britain in view of Greek ang er over Britain's refusal to give up Cyprus. Study in Contrasts It is interesting to note that while Shepilov is in the Middle East giving the western allies the poison-tongue treatment. Gen. Nathan S. Twining, chief of staff of the United States Air Force will be in Moscow getting the sweetness and light treat ment from-Soviet mUitary lead ers. Shepilov's tour helps to ex plain why, at this time, he was named to succeed Vyacheslav M. Molotov as foreign minister. ' Molotov is an old-school dip- survivors insurance program to almost universal coverage at the start of 1955. An estimated 68 million presons had taxable earn ings under the program last year, he said. . At the end of 1955, some 70 million workers were insured and of that total 32 million were permanenUy insured and wiU qualify for old-age benefits at 65. Maximum payments under the program, Nusbaum said for in dividuals is $108, and $200 for a family. The minimum payment is $30.

One night he awoke to strange noises outside the cabin. He looked out busily devouring one tire and buisly devouring one tire and starting to work on another. Berish shot the vandals with his rifle. Upon investigation he found one tire completely ruined and another chewed down to the inner-tube. Most of the insula tion on the underneath wiring was gone, too. Half Slave, Half Free To the Editor: An article in last Friday's Mail Tribune en titled "United States . can yet come out as winner in Asia points up a matter of most vital importance to us alL The out come of this contest will affect not only the people in Asia, but the people of all the world, our selves not the least. For if we lose in Asia and Africa we shall eventually lose in Europe and America, both South and North. The contest boils down to what may be described as a competi tion of ideas: ideas which must be put into practice so that the results will be plain for all to see. Our appointed and elected representatives can never ac complish their job effectively unless they have the active sup port of the people at home. With the communists, it is different. Their leaders tell their Deoole what policies they must support, and how much they must pay to support them. It is our priv ilege to tell our representatives just how far they may go and how much they may spend, but unless we, as a free people, are willing to exert ourselves hard er than are the communists, as an enslaved people, we may one day find that we are no longer free. A century ago Lincoln said. This country cannot endure half slave and half free." This world, in many respects smaller now than was the United States a hundred years ago, cannot long endure half slave and half free. E.

Shepilov, only 50. is one of the new school dynamic type men. He may possibly give Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les some competition as a grand tourist Dulles, incidentally, is two years older than Molotov. But he, too is one of the new- school men and his feet are hold ing out well. 12,465 Porcupines Killed During 1955 In Areas of Oregon Salem A porcupine kill of 12,465 animals in critical areas of the ponderosa pine forests of eastern and southern Oregon during 1955, with still no appar ent decrease in the population of the animals that are causing ex tensive damage to young ponder osa pine trees through their bark eating habits, is reported by Al Larsen, state forestry depart ment official who has just com pleted a survey covering the ma jor part of the pine forests of Oregon. - This count of the kill of the In vading army of animals by no means gives the total mortality since many hunters, forest visi tors, stockmen and loggers were responsible for an unreported number of the pests, Larsen said. Critical Areas Larsen' stated that reports sent in by the various cooperat ing agencies assisting in tha study indicate that the most crit ical areas are the upper Rogue river region near Prospect, the Klamath Indian reservation, the Ochoco and Fremont ' National forests, the western half of the Blue Mountains and around the Deschutes area. One of the largest kills Is re ported from the Fremont area when the forest officials "killed 3,000 of the animals and young folks accounted for an additional 2,210, Larsen stated. There were still other unreported kills by forest visitors. "Numerous private timber In terests have been carrying on a program of extermination," stat ed Larsen. "Some of these have been promoted by bounties and others have been carried out di rectly by company employees. Reports indicate that the cost of control has run better than $1.50 per animal. Still the companies are continuing with the proj ects. Threat to Trees "The animals offer a distinct threat to the young trees, eating the bark from the upper portion of the trunk. While the attack does not kill the trees, it usually kills the top, resulting in great ly retarded growth and deform ed trees." The forester stated that it is quite possible that the extensive damage is not necessarily due to an increase in the over-all porcu pine population in the state but is because migration from its nomal diet of grass and other herbaceous material.
