Washington President Eisen

al Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra !
Taft Benson, to remain in his
cabinet during his second term. !
The president's request, ac-;
cording to informed sources, was j
contained in a
flattering let-1
ter to Benson
after the elec-1
tion. 4t repre-o

In the president'i letter.he
reportedly reiterated his (vigor
ous backing for the farm policies
pursued by ETtn coring th
past four years, especially the
flexible price supports program.

It is this particular program
which made Benson 9 stojra cen

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.

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

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. He
said this increase will place
