Monday, January 7. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEIf Control of Congress Uncertain Because of Possibility of Death By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Senators gath ered In the capital last week for a session that is made politically Ji-we8 uncertain by S..1 the fact that a death here or there among the 96 mem bers of the upper chamber could com pletely change party control. Because the Democrats con V. A Robt Smllk trol the Senate at the outset by the slenderest of possible mar gins, they are most vulnerable to the possible effect of a death among the ranks of their 49 senators. The issue is critical politically in the case of those senators who come from states that have elect ed governors of the opposition party. When a senator dies in office, the governor gets to ap- Variety of Events Mark Past Year For State Foresters .Salem An unusual lire sea son, improved protection prac tices, major progress in forest land rehabilitation, continuation of the insect survey and increas ing forest planting on privately owned lands, marked the activi ties of the state forestry depart ment and its cooperating pro tection associations during 1956 A first season which saw 578 lightning fires out of a total of 987 and the necessity of closing the fire season in late November after it had been formally open ed a month earlier, were the un usual happenings in protection during the year. Favorable Year The acreage burned during the regular fire season was 4831 acres, placing it in the list of one of the most favorable in re cent years. Then, during the lat ter part of November and early December, continuous gale-like winds came down the Columbia river gorge, contributing to an extremely high fire hazard in the northwest part of the state Numerous fires broke out and the governor issued a proclama tion closing the season in north western Oregon. It was the first time that such action had been taken In the 46-year history of the state forestry department. In Clatsop county, two fires broke out east of the city of As toria and burned some 6000 acres before being brought under- control. Another fire got away from slash burning in the Cronin creek watershed and spotted over several thousands acres of land, most of it belong ing to the state. Smallest fires oc cured on the Trask river in Til lamook county and in Clacka mas and in Linn counties. Protection Emphasirad Improved protection vas em phasized during 1956 through special training of protection groups. This included setting up seven 10-man overhead crews made up of selected individuals qualified through experience and fitness to take over large project fires during periods of emergencies. Another new departure was the training of selected individ uals from industrial organiza- toins in order to fit them as bosses on the fire lines. Three such training sessions were held, with a total of approximately 100 men taking the courses. An other step in this .work was ad vance training and basic instruc tion for the seasonal fire crews. Seedlings Planted During the year, a total of 3.- 135.900 forest tree seedlings were planted on 3799 acres of state forest lands. In addition, 8000 acres were seeded by heli copter. In the process of con structing snag free corridors, 108.437 snags were felled in the Tillamook burn. The 1956 aerial survey of 27, 000,000 acres of Oregon's forest lands indicated that there is still 536,130 acres of widely scattered spruce budworm infestation, mainly in the Blue mountains of eastern Oregon. This included 476.000 acres of light infestation, 63,660 of medium, and 5,280 heavy. Due to the nature of the infes tation, it was decided that no control work was necessary in 1957. However, entomologists were cautious in their predic tions and indicated that it is quite possible that a major in festation during 1957 would ne cessitate control work in 1958. They recommend that plans be made to meet such a situation. Porcupine Threat -Porcupines have ' become a major threat to the ponderosa forests of the eastern part of the state. In some areas" the damage has ben reported to exceed that of forest fires. A study made last year under the direction of the state forestry department show ed that more than 12,000 of the animals had been killed by for esters, hunters and individuals employed for control work. In spite of this tremendous kill, there was apparently no reduc tion in the amount of damage. The control work is to continue. The damage by animals was not limited to porcupine. The black bear became a menace to young Douglas fir and spent a considerable part of his time peeling the bark from the root collar and trunk. Reports indi cated that a single bear could kill as many as 1,000 trees in a single year. A cooperative con trol project resulted in the kill ing of more than 200 of the ani mals. Tree planting has become a major activity with the private landowner. Farmers are increas ing the area of plantations each year and the industrial groups are planting many areas imme diately following logging with out waiting for nature to do the job. The result has been a de mand for seedlings that far ex ceeds the capacity of the Oregon forest nursery. Orders during the first four weeks of the fall shipping season were more than twice the full capacity of the nursery, foresters said. CONSTIPATED? new laxative discovery un-locks bowel blocks without gag, bloat or gripe Constipation is caused by what doctors call a "thrifty" colon. A "thrifty" colon is one that, instead of retaining moisture as it should, does the opposite: robs the colon of so much moisture that its con tents become dehydrated, so dry that they block the bowel ; o shrunken that they fail to excite or stimulate the urge to purge that propels and ex pels waste from your body. TO REGAIN NORMAL REGU LARITY two things are neces sary. First, the dry, shrunken contents of your colon which now block your bowel must be re-moistened. Second, bulk must be brought to your colon to S-T-B-E-T-OH STIMULATE it and so, excite its; muscles to action; to a normal urge to purge. ONLY A BULK LAXATIVE can 1) re-moisten this dry, shrunken waste and 2) supply vital bulk to re-create a nor mal urge to purge. And, of all bulk laxatives, colonaid, the amazing new laxative d!seov ery ia so effective that it relieves even chronic consti pation overnight, yet is ao smooth, so gentle it has been proved safe even for women in the most critical stages f pregnancy. SUPERIOR TO OLD STYLE bulk, salt or drug laxatives, COLONAID neither gegs, bloats nor gripes; does not interfere with your absorption of vita mins and other valuable food nutrients; and in clinical tests, did not causa rash or other side reactions. ITS A PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT! Exercise tones your bodyl And COLONAID exercises your colon to tone it apainst consti pation, overnight! Whether occasional, frequent or chron ic, whatever your degree of constipation, get colonaid, in easy-to-take tablet form at any drug counter, today! The price, only 9Sc for the econom ical 60 tablet package, brings you positive relief at less than 2c per tablet. point his successor until the next regular election when a successor can be elected by the people. And the governor is free to select an appointee without regard to the party of the sena tor who died. There are 11 Democratic sena tors from states having a GOP governor, and some of them have reached advanced age. There are 20 Republican senators from states with Democratic gover nors, but their average age is less than that of the Democrats who find themselves in this same situation. Democrats breathed a big sigh of relief last week when the Rhode Island Supreme Court ruled that the new governor of that state is Democratic Dennis Roberts, rather than Republican Christopher Del Sesto. The rea son for anxiety was that the oldest member of the Senate is a Democrat, 89-year-old Theo dore Francis Green, who is al ready the oldest man ever to sit in the Senate. Spry as he is, Sen. Green can't last forever, and Democrats were worried that a Republican governor might get the chance to appoint his successor and thereby give the GOP control of the Senate. One less Demo crat and one more Republican would divide the Senate equally, 48-48, and permit the president of the Senate, Vice President Nixon, to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the GOP. Next in line, by reason of age, is 82-year-old Sen. Mathew M. Neely, whose state of West Vir gina now has a Republican gov ernor. Neely has been in and out of the hospital in recent months. Then comes Montana's 80-year' old Sen. James E. -Murray, who heads the Senate Interior Com mittee as long as Democrats hang onto control. Next is 72-year-old Sen. Joseph C. O'Ma honey of Wyoming, and then 68-year-old Sen. Dennis Chavez of New Mexico. , Ambassador Passion Chavez was the subject of one of those colorful stories that goes around sometimes which bears on this Issue. Chavez, so tlie yarn goes, has always had a passion to be ambassador , to Spain. And since his state now has a Republican governor, he has reportedly let it be known to GOP insiders that he would be willing to resign his seat in return - for the appointment to Madrid. The only Republican senators in this upper age register are 77-year-old Edward Martin of Pennsylvania and 76-year-old H. Alexander Smith of New Jersey. The legislative significance of party control lies in the com mittees, for the majority party always gets to name more sen ators to each committee than the minority party. Also, most staff workers attached to com mittees are named by the ma jority party a fact which fre quently determines whether the bills taken up are agreeable to the president or not. So this 'year, when senators greet each other with "How are you feeling today. Senator?" they won't be just passing the time of day.
