Dndustrial Survey Scheduled
To Determine Valley Potential
Grants Pass The Jackson is what should be done to offset
County Chamber of Commerce
will contribute $1,000 as part of
a 54,000 industrial survey of
the Rogue valey to determine its
potentialities in respect to a
large pulp operation, it was an
nounced here Wednesday.
The survey will be undertaken
In cooperation with the Oregon
Development commission. De
cision for the survey was reach
ed at a meeting called by the
Josephine County Development
committee in the Josephine coun
ty circuit courtroom. Ralph T.
Moore presided.
Immediate Objective
Financing the $4,000 survey
was seen as the project's im
mediate objective, Moore said.
It was tenatively agreed that the
Josephine County Chamber of
Commerce would provide $1,000
and the Oregon Development
commission the remaining
$2,000.
Sandwell and Company, of
Vancouver, B.C., will be retain
ed to make the survey, Moore
announced. The survey .will
cover all phases of the proposed
operation, including water avail
ability, effluent disposal, pos
sible water and air pollution and
the raw material needed for
either a kraft or sulphite type
pulp mill.
The company also has design
ed pulp mills now operating at
Albany and Toledo, it was noted
Exploratory Nature
Moore warned that present ac-
tion is exploratory in nature and
will bring no assurance of a pulp
mill either in Grants Pass or
; elsewhere in the Rogue valley.
The survey is designed only to
obtain all data necessary if such
a mill is to be established, he
. said.
"Many residents in the valley
feel that recreation, which re
turns about $5,500,000 annually
to the area, and a beautiful spot
to live are preferable to indus
try expansion," the chairman
said.
Glenn L. Jackson, Medford
i vuiuviim uii . n tiiviu t uib
Oregon Development commis
sion, noted that Oregon lacks
diversified industry. According
to Jackson the urgent problem
declines in income from agri
culture and lumbering.
Interested In Resources
Orego has resources in which
industry is interested, he said.
The commissioner added with
California facing "standing
room" and water shortage prob
lems, it will be only a matter of
five to 10 years before industry
spreads to Oregon.
Jackson emphasized that
availability of water and waste
ILWU Financial :
Records Inspected,
Bridges Discloses
San Francisco (U.P.) Harry
Bridges, president of the Inter
national Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union, dis
closed Thursday that treasury
agents are inspecting the union's
financial records.
Bridges told delegates to the
ILWU's 12th biennial convention
that the agents "are trying to get
something on us, but they can't
find anything."
A union source said the In
ternal Revenue Service was ap
parently trying to obtain evi
dence that funds collected by
the ' Bridges-Robertson-Schmidt
defense fund went into someone's
pocket. If so, they would be sub
ject to income taxes.
No Corruption
The defense committee was
disbanded after the U. S. Su
preme Court in 1953 dismissed
perjury - conspiracy charges
against Bridges, J. R. Robertson
and Henry Schmidt, who are
also ILWU officials.
The investigation was dis
closed during debate over a pol
icy statement on the Senate
Rackets Committee.
"They can investigate us until
hell freezes over," Bridges said.
"but they will find no corrup
tion or racketeering here."
The convention ended Friday
with nomination of officers to
be elected in a membership ref
erendum. '
disposal would be of vital con
cern in any proposed pulp de
velopment. "We do have sufficient toler
ance in the Rogue river for
waste disposal, without harm
ing fish life," he said. "I don't
believe people of Grants Pass or
Medford want to consider a pulp
mill unless air and water pollu
tion problems are solved. I don't
believe we want to exchange one
industry for another," he added.
Jackson pointed out Oregon
law must be amended before
water for industrial purposes
can be taken from the Rogue
river. Industries other than pulp
require considerable amounts of
water, he said.
'Malicious Thinking'
Josephine county officials
termed as "milicious thinking"
rumors that Grants Pass actual
ly does not want new industries
and new business development.
L. C. Hansen, Josephine cham
ber manager, declared never to
his knowledge had any legiti
mate development been dis
couraged. Other speakers voiced the
opinion that dams would in
crease recreation potentialities of
the area, and that there really
should be no basic conflict be
tween sportsmen and those
favoring increased industrialization.
Decision to continue with the
pulp survey, in cooperation with
the Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce and the Oregon De
velopment commission, was
made by unanimous vote.

Newer Weaponsfor
Korea Said Planned
Washington (U.R) The
United States is planning to put
newer-model weapons in Korea
to partly offset a reported Com
munist military buildup in North
Korea, American officials dis
closed today.
The action will be taken un
der a liberal new interpretation
of the 1953 armistice which- end
ed the Korean fighting. There
is no intention of declaring the
armistice void despite repeated
evidence of Communist violations.
Some highly - placed persons
have suggested that the United
States and its fighting partners
in Korea declare the 1953 armis
tice agreement dead because of
the Communist infractions.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles earlier this week ruled
out such action on the ground it
might lead to new fighting in
Korea. .
