Neuberger Criticizes Yaquina Statements Washington U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D.-Ore.) today criticized statements charging that adidtion of the Yaquina bay harbor project to the omni bus public works bill in the Sen ate was instrumental in causing President Eisenhower's veto of the biU. He charged that a statement attributed to an unnamed "White House source," saying his action in behalf of the Ya quina bay project was a major factor in causing veto of the bill was "an incredible example of Republican election-year poli tics." Neuberger said he had been criticized for "prematurely" ob taining the addition of the Ya quina bay project in the Senate, after the House had left it out. He said that the Yaquina bay project had won approval of the Board of Engineers. Officials Seeking Boy For Rabies Treatment Rockwall, Tex. (U.R) The Texas Department of Public Safety appealed to state high way patrols all over the South and Southwest today to join in a search for a little boy marked for death from a mad dog's bite unless he gets help soon. The little boy, four or five years old, was bitten by a stray dog last Tuesday at a grocery where he and his parents topped for a cold drink. They apparently were tourists. The mother was upset, but the wound did not appear seri ous. So they continued east on U.S. highway 67. Thursday, the dog died and an analysis of the head showed he was rabid. Mayor Howard Dobbs made a nationwide appeal Saturday through the news service. He asked the parents, no one at the store got their name or noticed what state the car was from, to call him collect.

The tree nursery of the West Coast forest industries was first plowed and seeded in 1941. Two years later Stewart Holbrook described it this way: "Out in a handsome clearing the Nisqually river in western Washington is a sight to cheer the bleakest soul. On 49 acres of smooth, level ground, hedged by forest . . . are wide beds of young seedlings marching across the rich soil in bright green columns, 10,000,000 strong. "Here is a forest industry tree nursery," Hols wrote on, "own ed and operated by progressive loggers and lumbermen of the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington to raise trees for planting on non - restocking burned and cutover acres . . . It is the first large-scale under taking of a group of lumbermen Baruch Observes 86th Birthday New York (U.R) Elder statesman Bernard Baruch cele brated his 86th birthday quietly Sunday with his family in his Manhattan apartment. to pool their efforts in the grow ing of young trees with which to replant their forest lands." Now 15 years old and with 20,000,000 seedlings growing in stead of ten, the expanding in dustrial nursery is at long last to be given an official name. The christening will take place on Monday, Aug. 27, with Wash ington's Gov. Arthur B. Langlie the orator of the day. It will be named "the Col. W. B. Gree ley Forest Nursery," thus mem orializing a founder. Teenage Trees ... President Corydon Wagner, Sr., and Secretary-Manager W. B. Greeley of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, in 1940 formed plans for a loggers' for est nursery, after the success ful starts of Keep Washington Green and Keep Oregon Green. In 1939 forest fires had burned over 357,165 acres of privately Monday, August 20, IS56 MEDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TKXBTHtaT owned and state owned timber land in Western Washington and Oregon. In time nature's restocking could be expected to make the blackened lands green again. But thousands of acres would need to be planted by hand with nursery-grown seedlings to close all gaps of idle' land on which lumber companies were paying taxes and other compulsory costs of private ownership. When the first seedlings were lifted from the beds of the log gers' nursery at Nisqually, World War II had begun. The yearling trees were planted on burns by teenagers of 1942, in large part high school boys who were willing to work in the woods week ends. The baby Douglas firs that were planted in World War II are teen-age forest stands today on tens of thousands of indus trial tree farm acres. They, with the young plantations and the "wide beds of young seed lings" at Nisqually, are an evergreen-ever-changing memorial to Col. W. B. Greeley, creative for ester. On Monday, Aug. 27, this will be made official. Nature's Way First . . . The U. S. Forest Survey of 1933 classified 2,232.000 acres in Western Oregon and Wash ington as non-stocked. The lat est series of surveys, beginning in 1948, indicate that non stocked areas in the Douglas fir region have been reduced to j 748,000 acres. "No more than 200,000 acres of the non-stocked lands of 1933 have been hand-planted success fully," states W. D. Hagenstein, chief forester of the Industrial Forestry Association. "The big job has been done by natural means, with loggers and indus trial foresters providing seed sources and protection from fire." The Col. W. B. Greeley Forest Nursery will always serve, how ever, to close the gaps of idle hand between areas of natural reproduction in the Douglas fir. And it will keep green the name of the region's great leader of industrial forestry.
