He said this points up the fact 0that lgcal mills buying O&C tirrfoer may spend consid erable effort and money to try tc preserve the protective shield of marketing area restrictions. Graves suggested futhermore, that virtually all timber sold in western Oregon, whether bg for est gervice or BLM. is processSd in nearby mills. He said all of the 4 billion board feet of fed eral timber sold by both forestry agencies in this area during the last,thgee years, in sales where competition was provided by several bidders, was purchased by operators located within 65 miles of the timber. He added that some 95 per cent of it didn't move over 50 miles and bout three-fourths of it was not moved over 40 miles.

Ben son took stejjs Saturday to try j 8nd blocS house passage Monday of a Dsmocrotic drought relief proposal. i H-j said the house should not vote on tha plan until he has in formed congress of the conclu sions reached by President Eisen hower from his recent aerial in spection tour of drought areas. Benson's- surprise stand was re vealed by House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin. Jr. (Mass.) in an interview with the United Press. Martin predicted there" would be a floor fight if Democratic lenders refuse to de lay action on tht?ir measure. Democratic leaders, informed of the unexpected development, declined to soy immediutely what they "srould 2o. guov u'rrfee Bjjnson'o docicfon tools hsuse Republicans1 09 well os Demo crats surprise. The Democra tic bill sped through a subcom mittee, last Tuesday on(J was ap proved by the full house' agricul ture committee on Thursday with no audible objection. The bill would require the gov ernment to o2er to p'fcy "renf ' on millions of acres of drought- stricken pasture to induce own ers t keep ca'Jtle off thS parched land. The idisa is to prevent the land frcgn cbeing permanently damaged before it has a chance to re-seed itself. The agriculture department's drought relief chief, Kenneth L. Scott, testified last week that the department has "some reserva tions" about the legislation. Nev ertheless the bill had been con sidered so non-controversial that Democratic leaders scheduled it for house action Monday under an unusual procedure which re stricts debate to 40 minutes and requires a 2-1 vote for passage Were it not for this unusual parliamentary situation, Benson would have not hope of blocking house .approval Monday. It was taken for granted that the bill would easily pass if only a ma jority vote were required. Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT Claude Reese Mile, violation basic rule, $10.
