Hult. president. New tree farm in Jackson county is the Alley Tree Farm, owned by Alley Lumber com pany of Medford. The tree farm is scattered in Prospect and Dead Indian areas and includes more than 3.000 acres. In addition to the new certifi cations, the association cancelled the certificate of Mary and Her bert Sawyer Tree Farm of 160 acres in Jackson county. There ere 14 other tree farms in Jack son county. Hult said this brings the new tree farm total in western Ore gon to 2.070.094 acres.

(U.R) A "junkman's dream or a night inare" is the way scrap dealer Louis Silverman describes his incinerator which burns wreck ed auto bodies and consumes jriost of the smoke at the same time. Silverman took a scrap of this and a scrap of that to con struct an incinerator so efficient it has been approved by air pollution and smoke authorities. He says the giant "oven'' was the product of necessity because the old method of dousing the wrecks with gasoline and burn ing them on the ground created so much smoke and the "odor was awful." Silverman and his employees at the auto parts yard experi mented through trial and error. They took a smoke stack from an old brewery, an old loco ir.otive tender, and parts of a steamboat and a wrecked barge. From this mass of scrap they developed a rectangular incin erator that can hold two or three auto bodies at one time. Car bodies are lowered into the in cinerator by a crane and then set afire. Smoke is forced through a brick firewall heated by special gas jets to 1200 degrees. Flames and the high temperature con sume "at least 90 per cent of the smoke." Silverman says. He is seeking a patent on the incinerator which cost about S5000 to build but only about 35 cents an hour to operate. travel the TBAILWAYS v yj www waime w C--,cyS BREAKFAST in MEDFORD XXJSSXN SUPPER in BOISE V tV fiBMIllllllllllllllllllllllllllf "FLOATED" Shown is a model of the 20-story build ing to oe erected in San Francisco for the Crown Zellerbach Corp.

Glascock Jr., district forester of Industrial Forestry association. Eugene, praised the initiative and progressiveness of Jackson county forest industries and woodlot owners for their support of the tree farm pro gram which has seen half the private forest land in this area converted to tree farming. Glascock said "The Jackson county area has long been a key lumbering center. And now with recent additions to the Tree Farm program by the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association, about half the private forest lands are on a management basis. Continual Harrest "This means that a continual harvest of trees for the present and future will insure a perma nent industry in Jackson county. This is an outstanding achieve ment which should be a source of local pride. With continued expansion of the tree farm pro gram. Jackson county will main tain it's place as a leading forest products producer." Tree Farms are certified in Jackson county jointly by West ern Pine association and IFA. Local sponsor is SOCTFA. American Forest Products In dustries Inc. is the national spon sor of the American -tree farm system which now includes 42 states and more than 39 million acres of privately owned, tax paying lands. Ponies Losing Out To Use of Planes Cheyenne, Wyo. (U.R) The airplane is gaining on the cow party as the "workhorse" on Wyoming ranches. Wyoming ranks third among the states in the number of reg istered private aircraft per cap ita population. The Civil Aer orautics Administration says one out of every 600 residents owns an airplane. Ranchers use light planes for herding cattle and "riding fence," a chore which used to be the duty of the bronc-riding cewboy. Since uranium was discovered in the state four years ago, planes have come in handy for aerial prospecting, too. The airplane is also used in the U. S. Forest Service for spotting fires, and farmers use planes for insect-control work. SPANISH SHORE LIBERTY Barcelona, Spain (U.P.) The 45.000 ton battleship Wisconsin and nine other ships of the U.S. 6th Fleet will visit Barcelona Friday, bringing 7,000 U. S. sailors here for a seven day visit, it was announced today. 148 N. Front St. Phone 3-1853 -3 i(M """""" II f Wednesday, July 18, 1958 ! Several Factors Eyed Before Aid Given Egypt Dam Washington (U.R; Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles said todav the United States must consider several develop ments before deciding to go ehead with its offer to help Egypt build the Sl.300.000,000 Aswan dam on Nile river. e The United States made an of fer last December but Egypt has not officially accepted. Egyp tian Ambassador Ahmed Hues sein said on his return from Cairo Tuesday, however, that Egypt wants to accept Western nelp. Dulles was asked at a news conference whether the United States is ready to go ahead with its offer. Wouldn't Aniwer Dulles said he would not an swer the question before meet ing with Husse-n Thursday. ; Dulles went on to say that a lot of things have happened since the United States offered to help last December. These developments, he said, must bfc taken into account. This was a reference to Egyptian pro-Russian and anti-Western actioi which have aroused opposition of Congress to helping Egypt with the project. Other officials have said the United States will be very cau tious about meeting Egypt's new bid for help in building the dam. Several Tough Problems Authorities said there are sev eral tough problems still stand ing in the path of proposed plans to assist Egypt. The most serious is heavy congressional opposi tion to aiding any nation which is flirtiii? with the Soviet Union. The United States and Brit ain offered last December to sup ply funds to get work started on the dam project, but Egypt later let it be known that she was considering a Soviet offer to help build the dam. Sen. Mansfield Warns On Arms Reduction Washington U.R) Sen. Mike Mansfield warned today that a substantial reduction in military manpower strength, would re duce U.S. ability to resist small wars and undermine the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance. The Montana Democrat was one of the first Democrats to speak out in opposition to the ad ministration's consideration of plans to reduce military man power by several hundred thous and men in the years ahead. Mansfield is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee. He said he hopes'the admin istration is not contemplating "a revival of the 'Fortress Ameri ca' concept," a plan advanced by former President Hoover under which the United States would base its military strength pri marily in the United States. Air Control Tower Regulates Trains Fairbanks, Alaska (U.R) Controllers manning the lofty, bustling control tower at Ladd Air Force Base here have one major claim to fame. They con trol not only airplanes, some of them supersonic, but also rail road trains. A branch line of the Alaska Railroad is at the west end of the field, just off the end of the two main runways. Before an engineer can operate a diesel train past the field he must radio from "shacks" on either side and get permission from the control tower to cross. The procedure was ordered because aircraft landing and taking off frequently clear the railroad tracks and an adjacent road by comparatively few feet. Auto traffic on the highway is stopped during air operations by signal standards actuated by towermen. Sgt. C R. Glass of Miami, Ha., who transferred here rec ently from Turner Air Force Base at Albany, Ga.. said he konws of no other tower that had a similar railroad problem. Ladd AFB also has special problems caused by the cold near-Arctic temperatures and heavy layers of ice on portions of the runways and taxiways. "It gets pretty hairy some times," Glass admitted. South Dakota Maps Show New Water Bodies .Pierre, S.D. U.R) The new est map of South Dakota shows two new large bodies of water, Lewis and Clark Lake and Fort Randall Reservoir. Both bodies are impounded by Missouri Riv er dams. The water stretches from the southern border of the state northward about '.half-way through the state. Another dam being built on the river will turn the Missouri into a lake practically the rest of the way northward through the state. Italians Top Australia Foreign Population Canberra -U.R Official cen sus figures reveal that the Ital ians are the largest group of for eign nationals in Australia. The acting statistician for Australia, R. S. Carver, said the Italian population grew from 7.172 in 1947 to 89,785 in 1954. The majority of the Italians are making their homes in Victoria. Carver said the latest statis tics showed there were 53,448 Dutch nationals in Australia, 49.732 Polish. 18.120 Yugoslavs, 17.843 Greeks and 17.223 Lat vians. A total of 38.945 immi grants to Australia have classi fied themselves as "stateless." AIR CHIEF TESTIFIES Air Force chief of staff Gen. Nathan Twining (right) is greeted by. Rep.
