But HURRY l before the, big rush by the Eisenhower administra tion. This may signal further I tough sledding for the two-price j wheat plan, which Pacific North- j woft wheat growers have been ' trying to gain approval for by Benson. Looking with Favor The closest. Benson has come to looking wijh favor oti the idea was a year ago when he promis ed to study it. But when Con gress considered adopting it as part of the farm bill this, past year, the administration recom mended it be dropp.ed.,So it was. , Reports of other ciia'nges are flying thick and faet in. the na tion's eapital now. Secretary nf Defense Charles E. Wilson is re ported on the way out, but rum ors that he would be succeeded by Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton are denied by Seaton. He was ati assistant secretary of De fense before moving into Mc Kay's old seat. Secretary Seaton flew down to the Virgin Islands last -weekend for the one-day dedication of a' new national park. Later this monfh he had planned a trip to Afaska, his first to the northern territory. Additional Week But instead of returning promptly after the Virgin Islands ceremony, the secretary decided to stay an additional week and doubts were expressed - by his staff he could then make it to Alaska. Washington smiled -wryly at all this, havirtg seen many an In terior, secretary who found it bet to visit his southern territories- in the winter and his northern domain in the summer.' One other important result of this change is' a -further delay in any announcement by Seaton of his intentions regarding' a high dam at Pleasant Valley where private power companies, want to build a smaller project.

One Hurt, Five Cited After Auto Accidents Management Program Discussed by State Forestry Official starts! O o fh COMMERCIAL i INDUSTRIAL f FINANCE flj in Mam end 'erji ' jcdford S-4564 ft jjL CHRISTMAS LOAMS, Sa. Right of way for access roads and personnel are among the major problems facing the' tim ber management program of the state department of forestry,' Ed Schroeder, head of the progTam, said Friday night. Schroder discussed the timber management program at a meet ing of the Siskiyou chapter, So ciety of American Foresters, at the Jackson hotel. The problem of access roads into stale owned or managed timber areas, Schroder said, proved to be so great, the de partment set up a right of way section which works full time on the problem. He explained that the state- administers about 850,000 acres of land, about 650, 000 acre of which ii Hate owned. Personal Problem T Another major :probltm fac ing the management program is personnel, he said, noting that salaries have been adjusted for foresters to compete with- fed eral positions. He noted that there are not enough foresters to do the job required in the man; agement program. Schroder said the state fores try department organized the timber management program after World War II when the value ef timber areas increased and the state found itself in business with, holdings it bad ac quired either from outright pur chases, gifts or granted it from counties during the depression years. The majority of the state ad ministered timber is in the northwest section of the state, with about 250,000 acres in the Tillamook burn area. Since the program was organ ized, the state has worked on an inventory program for three years, and an inventory of the west Tillamook area is expected to be complete by next July 1. Inventories have been com pleted in Clackamas and Lane county arras, he said. Schroder said the department retained John Bell in the man aecmcnt section to provide the department with the newest and best procedures available on in ventories, which, with IBM cal culations, provides an up-to-date inventory result. Selvage Timber When the program started, he said, sales were chiefly of sal vage or overage timber, and sal vage timber still is being har vester from the Tillamook area. Much of the land under the department's administration when the management program started, Schroeder said, needed reforestation to get the land back in .production. He noted that the state does not have areas .reforested unless the area is protected.- . Reforestation In the Tilla mook burn area . is falling be hind, he said, but that the pro tection, development is on sched ule as proposed in a 15-yer pro gram for the area. Schroeder said the department has a pre gram started which will put all stte administered land into pro duction in the near future. . Guitle Say Franca To Take Uranium Lead Paris (U.R; Georges Guille, secretary, of state in charge of French atomic affairs, said Sat urday France will be the world's fourth largest uranium producer by 1960. -. ' . ' He said prospecting programs will put France's uranium and thorium production at 500 tons in 1958 and 1,000 tons in 1961.
