a vice-preiident of Crown Zel

Friday that the company wai
looking for a possible site for a
new paper mill in the Pacific
Northwest and that Astoria ii
among sitei being considered.
The mill would cost up to 30
million dollars and would be a
400-ton-day operation, making
board from pulped Douglas fir.
Stamm is in charge of the in
vestigations being conducted by
the Portland offices. The plan
in mind for the Astoria area
would involve integration of the
compmy's large tree farming
tracts with 140,000 acres of
state-owned timberlands in Clat
sop county.
About 120 million feet of logs
for chipping would be required
by the mill each year. The plant
would employ some 300 workers
In the mill and about 400 in the

James F. Lattie Gets
Journalism Award
Corvallis James E. Lattie of
Medford has received recogni
tion for outstanding work in
campus journalism at Oregon
State college. He was named the
senior who has contributed most
to Oregon State publications

court that a "co-operative sus
tained yield agreement" ' be
worked out with the help of the
Oregon state board of forestry.
Since the big Pacific coast
paper manufacturing company
would need to have assurance
of the timber from the Clatsop
reserves before making the
multi-million-dollar Investment,
the details may possibly require
a change in legislation govern
ing the sale of state-owned tim
ber by competitive bidding.
The Clatsop plan is at a very
preliminary stage, Stamm said,
and the company is awaiting a
letter of interest and intent
from the Clatsop court before
proceeding. The next step for
Crown Zellerbach would be to
make a formal petition with the
state board of forestry.

"Where You Are
Paid To Save"
According to letter received
by Curt Butterfleld, president
of the 20-30 club, the National
Catfish Derby sponsored by the
20-30 club is not the only one
in existence.
In 1952 the Parris Manufac
turing company in Savannah.
Tenn., and a southern sports
man suggested a catfish derby
as a means of putting Savannah
on the map. A National Catfish
Derby has been held in Savan
nah ever since. It is a civic
enerprise sponsored jointly by
various civic clubs and the peo
ple of the Savannah-Pickwick
area.
Festivities for the Savannah
National Catfish Derby begin
about the middle of June and
last through July. The Derby is
divided into f series of weekly
contests with prizes awarded
each week to the fisherman
catching the largest catfish. At
the. end of the Derby month,
a grand prize, usually a boat, is
presented to the person catch
ing the largest fish of the Derby.
Separate Prises
Separate prizes are given to
lady anglers and to commercial
fishermen. Other activities in
clude beauty contests, river
cruises and open house tours
into interesting Savannah
homes.
Like the Rogue valley Na
tional Catfish Derby, no ent.-y
fee is collected. The Derby is "a
promotional enterprise designed
to promote the Savannah area
and attract tourists.
The Rogue Valley National
Catfish Derby began in 1936 be
cause of an argument during a
pool game between Frank Perl
and the late Delroy Getchell
over fishing abilities. Frank De
Souza and Kenneth Anthony
also were connected with its
origin. As a result, the first
derby was held at Savage Dam.
The Medford 20-30 club began
sponsoring the Derby in 1941.
This years Derby will be held
today at Tou Velle state park
on Table Rock rd. I

Berlin, Germany !U.R! So
viet authorities have confirmed I
they will "invite Western ob-
servers to watch the withdraw
al of 33,500 Red Army troops
from Fast Germany.
A Soviet embassy spokesman
in East Berlin said the invita-J
tion will apply to representativ
es of the British, French and
American governments as well
as newspapermen and other
Western organization represen
tatives. The Soviet embassy said fin
al plans for the visit had not ;
been completed and he declin-'
ed to pin-point the Red Army !
installations that were being '
evacuated.
He said transportation would
be arranged by the embassy

ty for Westerners to gain entry j
to the Russian zone. j

West Berlin is relatively sim

special permission to enter the i
Soviet zone of Germany-which
surrounds the city. j
Western sources generally j

strength in the Soviet zone of '
Germany at about 350,000.
In addition. East Germany is
