flans Innocent Plea
t)n Timber Charge
Ashland R. Drew Lamb,
prominent Ashland lumberman,

eral court in Sacramento this
0eek to post S1,0U0 bond on a
charge of theft of government

timberland.
Ojhe land on which the timber
w;Ccut lies in an area which the
original surveys showed lay be
tween two townships, with tim
ber owned by Lamb on both

showed the townships to be con-
tigous, and the decision to cut
the timber was based on the dis
covery of two supporting section
corners, the attorney reported.

notice, he declared.

O dent, and co-defendant. It alleges

Slate Legislative
Rally Wednesday
Postal and other federal em
ployees of southern Oregon will
hold a legislative rally Wednes-"
day at 8 p.m. . in the Labor
temple in Roseburg.
Larry M. Rose, president of
the National Association of
Letter Cariers, said purpose of
the rally is to focus public at
tention on the pay situation of
federal employees and to stimu
late public support of legislation
giving official recognition to fed
eral employee organizations.
'Postal and other federal 1
workers, who have no way of !
negotiating directly with their j
employers and who do not have
the right to strike, must depend
entirely on public understanding
of their problems and support '
for their objectives, Rose said, i
He added that the public is in-1

employees across the country
during the week of Feb. 10-16, '

Postal Rate Hike
Said Badly Needed
Washington (U.R) Deputy
Postmaster General Maurice H.
Stans has warned that the Post
Office may go into the red SI !
billion annually unless postal 1
rates are hiked. !
Stans recommended to a j
House Appropriations Subcom
mittee that the cost of mailing a I
first class letter be raised from
three, to five cents to help over-1
come the postal deficit. The sub-1
committee made Stans' testi
mony public Sunday night.
Stans aid the Post Office will j
operate at a deficit of S651 mil- j
lion next year. He said that with 1
a pay raise for postal workers
likely, and the costs of improv
ing the service expected to
mount, the deficit will jump to
between S750 million to SI bil
lion annually "in the very near
future."
Any increase in first class
mailing rates probably will run 1
into stiff congressional opposi
tion. A bill for a one-cent rate
increase died in the Senate last
year.
