Withdrawal of Land
In Cascades Asked
By Forest Service
A proposed withdrawal of 6,
410.59 acres of public land in
Rogue River National forest
from application of mining laws
was announced this week by Vir
gil T. Heath, state supervisor for
the bureau of land management.
The land for which the appli
cation has been filed is in the
Lake, Dead Indian Soda Springs.
Lake of the Woods, Four Mile
lake. Recreation 'creek, and
Huckleberry City Recreation
areas.
The application for withdraw
al, which was filed by the assist
ant secretary of agriculture, was
recorded on public land records
in the" Portland land office April
5, 1954.
The effect of recordation was
to temporarily ban prospecting
and location of mining claims
under the general mining laws
in thfe affected areas pending ac
tion of the department of the in
terior, Heath said.
The public lands are in use
for recreational purposes or are
proposed for use for recreation,
and are all within the Rogue
River National forest.' They are
located near lakes, streams and
springs on both the east and
west slopes of the Cascades in
Jackson and Klamath counties.
Heath said the lands are val
uable for their scenic, asthetic
and recreational uses, and the
objective of the proposed with
drawal is to protect and pre
serve the uses for general pub
lic from despoliation by locations-
or entries which may be
incompatible -with recreational
uses.
Persons interested may sub
mit comments, suggestions or ob
jections to the proposed with
drawal in writing to the state
supervisor within 30 days after
announcement of the proposal.
Heath said.
A detailed description of the
land will be posted in the dis
trict forester's office, bureau of
land mangement, Medford, and
the courthouse.

President's Board
Speeding Hearings
On Dock Walkout
Injunction Unexpected
Before Saturday
Washington U.R) A special
presidential fact finding board
today speeded hearings aimed at
clearing the way for halting the
crippling dock strike by a Taft
Hartley injunction.
But it appeared likely that the
government would be unable to
ask for the court injunction un
til Saturday. The fact finding
body did not expect to complete
its task until late tonight.
Appointed Thursday
President Eisenhower appoint
ed the fact finding board Thurs
day to investigate the eight-day-old
tieup of Atlantic and Gulf
coast ports by 60,000 members
of the Independent Internation
al Longshoremen's association.
He acted under the Taft-Hartley
labor act.
The Thanksgiving " morning
executive order, which created
the board, gave it until Satur
day to report the facts of the
dispute. The order itself declared
that continuation of the strike
"will imperil the national health
and safety."
Strike Would Halt
When President Eisenhower
receives the board's report, he
is expected to instruct Attorney
General Herbert Brownell Jr. to
seek an injunction in federal
court in New York halting the
strike for 80 days of "cooling
off." The fact finding board will
continue to sit during that pe
riod, while the disputing parties
seek a settlement.
Once the court's injunction is
issued, it is expected that the
strike would be brought to a
quick halt, at least by Monday.
The three - man fact finding
group took testimony in closed
session Thursday night and this
morning from representatives of
the ILA and several shipping
groups. . . .

Britain and France
Finished as Powers
Egypt Declares
. London (U.R) The Allied
commander in Egypt announced
today he would withdraw one
battalion of British troops "al
most immediately," but Egypt
hinted it considered Britain and
France finished as major powers
in the Middle East.
The Egyptian government
newspaper Al Gomhouriya said
today in Cairo it would guar
antee freedom of navigation
through the Suez Canal to all na
tions except Britain and France.
However, it did not threaten to
bar them from the waterway.
Put End to Problem
"Anglo-French aggression has
put an end to the Suez Canal
problem as far as the two na
tions are concerned," it said,
"but Egypt is prepared to give
all guarantees to the rest of the
world regarding freedom and
navigation" of the canal.
"Egypt from today will never
recognize Britain and France as
two major powers," the paper
said.
Gen. Sir Charles Keightley,
former British commander in I.

Medford boys, two aged 13 and

idea that the Senate is a con
tinuing body with continuing
rules. That would clear the way
for a substitute filibuster rule.
Such" a substitute rule would,
in turn, remove the major road
block to civil rights legislation
on Congress, the threat of a Sen
ate filibuster.
The six Democrats announced
Thursday that they will press
for a new filibuster rule on open
ing day. The announcement was
part of a 16-point domestic leg
islative program they made
public as a guide for "liberal"
action by their party.
In their statement, the six sen
ators said they would welcome
GOP cooperation with their pro
gram. No names of GOP senators
were given.
But speculation centered on
Sen. William Langer (R-N.D.),
long an advocate of civil rights
legislation. There were indica
tions that the Democratic group
also tried to enlist Sens. Thomas
H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) and Sen.
Irving M. Ives (R-N.Y.) as GOP
rallying points. .
Joined Forces in 1953
Ives and Kuchel are the only
Republicans now in the Senate
who joined the civil rights forces
in 1953 when the Senate tabled
a similar effort for a substitute
rule by a 70 to 21 vote.
Signing the "declaration"
were Sens. Hubert H. Humph
rey (Minn.), Paul H. Douglas
(111.), Wayne Morse (Ore.), James
E. Murray (Mont.), Pat McNa
mara (Mich.) and Richard L.
Neuberger (Ore.).
Besides setting the stage for a
civil rights row, their program
served as a rebuff to Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson. He recently said the
Democrats would offer no pro
gram of their own but wait to
study President Eisenhower's
legislative proposals.
