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,

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

Natives Complain
Chief complaint of the ftiklnl
natives appeared to be that they
had been transferred to Kill At

more rainfall and presents dif
ferent agricultural problems. In
addition, II lacks fishing facil
ities afforded by the laEnnn at

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

FCC Engineer Denies
Link in Police Check
Vancouver, Wash. OI.Pj J. H.
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.

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 on Cyprus was one of

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.
