Clatsop Loggers Protest Purchase Astoria (U.PJ Representa tives of several Clatsop county logging operations have protest ed to the county court against the Crown Zellerbach corpora tion's proposal to obtain exclu sive right to purchase a large portion of county-state owned timber in the county. The protest followed reports that the Crown Zellerbach firm was contemplating building a large pulp mill in Astoria if it could obtain sufficient guaran tees of timber. One representative of Clatsop county timber firms said that if the exclusive control is granted. It would amount to an exchange of payrolls -rather than an addi tional one for the county. He said that many other firms would be forced out of business If the deal is culminated. "The Anicrlcnn taxpayer has, of course, every right to be weary of carrying the costly burden of l.irge scale foreign aid." he said. "But the cost of this assistance, It seems to me, a small part of our national in come to devote to the struggle against the spread of world Communism." He pointed out that in the past year Russia has been ex tending aid to so-called neutral nations in a "clear imitation" of our Marshall plan. "And so the economic phase of the cold war has today be come the paramount phase of the cold war," he said. The Kiwanis outgoing presi dent, Jackson A. Raney of Indi anapolis, said Monday night that the past year has been "glorious and glowing" for Kiwanis Inter national. Goal Achiavad "We have achieved our goal of 250.000 members," he said.

Natives Complain Chief complaint of the ftiklnl natives appeared to be that they had been transferred to Kill At oll. Kill, south of Ilikhii. has more rainfall and presents dif ferent agricultural problems. In addition, II lacks fishing facil ities afforded by the laEnnn at Itikini. The report said there had been some outstanding claims for compensation by displaced natives but that the United States has informed the United Natlona "all claims . . . had been paid and that continued assist ance was being rendered to the is:inders." The report said the mission "had an opportunity" of meet ing with a group of medical of ficers attached to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission who had conducted a medical survey of the Rongelap people follow ing a bomb test. The officers, according to the report, informed the mission that "The people concerned had been irradiated from the fallout in three ways: Penetrating gam ma radiation from the ground, trees and houses resulted in whole body radiation; skin con tamination from fallout resulted in spotty localized irradiation of the skin and scalp; and internal contamination occurred from in gesting of contominated food and breathing in fallout ma terial."

Hallock, Portland, engineer in charge of this district for the Federal Communications com mission, denied yesterday that the recent arrest of an FCC rep resentative was responsible for a subsequent inspection of city police radio equipment. Vancouver Police Chief Harry Diamond had told the city coun cil here last week that the city's radio equipment had gone with out attention for years until an FCC representative was recently arrested on a traffic violation. Since that time, he said, the equipment has been subject of frequent checks and the city' cited for a number of violations. LETTUCE HEAR IT Wiota, Wis.

St. Prre Stniroofi Fb. lac. tUmonl. Cooa. London (U.R) Britain has drawn up plans for a new Cyprus constitution that would grant a liberal measure of self-goyern-ment to the rebellious island, it was reported today. The new plan to restore peace on Cyprus was worked out in negotiations between Prime Min ister Sir Anthony Eden and Cy prus Governor Sir John Harding who- came here for a few days and remained for three weeks. Talks between Britain and Archbishop Makarios, leader of the "Union with Greece" move ment on Cyprus, broke down earlier this year ovei a Cyprus constitution, touching off new waves of anti-British violence on Cyprus. Makarios was exiled to the Seychelle Islands. Troops Counter Terror Britain was making an all out effort to crush the violence with military force. Rigid cur fews amounting to house arrest for Cypriots were in effect in several cities. Death sentences were being meted out to con victed terrorists. Reports from Nicosia today said British troops still hoped to capture guerrilla leader Col. George Grivas in his mountain hideout despite a disastrous for est fire that killed 19 British tommies. Grivas is the reported leader of EOKA, the anti-British underground. Grivas, who calls himself "Dig henis," was nearly captured in the sweep against EOKA before the fire broke out. Grivas, 58, was so tired his men had to carry him piggyback to safety across the slopes and gullies of his mountain stronghold, Nicosia reports said. Cypriots' Status Problem Status of the 100.000 Greek Cypriots on Cyprus was one of The European Exchange Sys tem, serving U. S. Army post ex changes, bought more than $22, 000,000 worth of soft goods from the German economy in 1955. the main difficulties facing Eden and Harding. The Greek Cypriots total 400,000 and presumably would control any elected legis lature. The London Times sug gested today that a new consti tution would have to provide guarantees for Turkish minority rights. The Times also said the new proposals called for the governor of Cyprus to keep control over internal security and the police force as long as necessary during the self-government period. The Greek Cypriots rejected this idea in previous negotiations which failed when they refused to grant what Britain considered to be proper guarantees for the rights of the Turkish minority.
