'Junkman's Dream'
Burns Auto Bodies
Cincinnati, O. (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.

forester has listed Jackson coun
ty as one of the country's leading
tree farm centers.
H. R. 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.

sor of the American -tree farm

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.

! 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."

Plymouth wins again. However you measure
inside and outside. Roomier, longer, heavier.
More trunk space. More everything.
And how about styling?
There's no contest here either.
Plymouth's really new, while other low-price
cars look about the same as last year.
Okay, what about my present car?
Add up the cost of keeping your car in top
