9 Neuberger Proposes Oregon Purchase limber Assets off COamafh Keservatfion Washington, D.C. (Special) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger to day proposed that the state of Oregon purchase the timber as sets of the Klamath Indian reservation. In a statement issued in Wash ington, the senator gave the background of the situation, and pointed out that Senate Indian Affairs subcommittee hearings on the termination of federal custodianship for the Klamath tribe will be held in Klamath Falls Oct. 2 and 3 and in Port land Oct. 4. His statement, slightly con densed, follows: Relatively few people under stand the critical nature of the situation now facing us with respect to the vast forest, recre ational and wildlife assets of the Klamath Tribe. In 1954 two noted public fig ures from Oregon Sen. Guy Cordon, Chairman of the Senate Interior Committee, and Doug las McKay, Secretary of the In terior used Wieir influence to help pass a bill which provided for termination of Federal cus todianship over the Klamath Indians. Then they persuaded President Eisenhower to sign this legislation into law. I thought the legislation was hasty and ill-considered at the time. I still am of this opinion today. Resources Cut Adrift As a result of this law, how ever, . all the immense natural resources of the Klamath Tribe are to be cut adrift and made susceptible to speedy and reck less disposal, without regard either to the future welfare of the Indians themselves or -of the economic future of the state. Senator Cordon and Secretary McKay assured the Congress that passage of the termination act would mean an end to Fed eral appropriations In behalf of the Klamaths. However, on Oct. 18, 1956, the. management spe cialists, who were originally chosen by ex-Secretary McKay to supervise the liquidation of the Klamath Indian reservation, reluctantly but definitely came to the conclusion that liquida tion was not the wisest policy. They proposed, therefore, that the Federal government buy the Klamath reservation with its valuable assets. This is the prob lem which I now confront, as chairman of the Indians Affairs Subcommittee, in trying to re store some order to this situation. Termination Delayed With the cooperation of some unselfish and public - spirited leaders among the Klamath Tribe, we now have succeeded in delaying sales of tribal assets until the summer of 1958. However, we have only one year in which to provide for orderly management of the greatest Ponderosa pine forest left in the Pacific Northwest, as well as of the marshlands which are a vital nesting ground for migratory ducks and geese pilgrimaging along the Pacific Flyway. On May 9 of this year, I intro duced legislation which calls for Federal purchase of the Klam ath reservation under conditions which would add the pine timber to the contiguous Fremont Na tional Forest and the marshlands to the holdings of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I strongly favor this bill and will fight for it to the utmost of my ability Difficulties Seen While it is my hope that the Department of the Interior will have a favorable report on my bill prior to our October hear ings, realistic analysis forces me to disclose that there will be grave difficulties in view of the present "economy" atmosphere in the Congress. Cost of the Klamath pine timber alone is estimated to be in the neighbor hood of $100,000,000, if the Indi ans are to receive a price which reflects in any way fair competi- License Applications Being Processed Now City Treasurer Darell Huson has reported that his depart ment "is gaining" on processing applications for the new city business license ordinance pass ed last month. Although the applications were due on Sept. 1, Huson said no fines for late filing would be applied until the department catches up on the backlog. A few of the license applica tions now coming in are incor rectly filled out, he reported. These must be returned for re application. Processing is taking about one week at the current backlog of applications. Smith ith-Dynge LUMBER GO. 8th and Fir St. tive circumstances. Members of the House Interior Committee already have expressed strong opposition to the policy of Fed eral purchase set forth in my bill. If Federal purchase of the reservation cannot be obtained, only two alternatives then would remain. These would be (1) sale of the timber and marsh to pri vate sources, with the likelihood that then the forests could be clear cut and the marsh drained, or (2) purchase by the State of Oregon. Slate Purchase Possibility I shall not elaborate here on what the first alternative might mean. Suffice it to say that I agree with the management spe cialists that it would involve havoc for Klamath county in particular and the state in gen eral. It is my belief that the state of Oregon should consider using a portion of the surplus funds in its treasury as a down payment toward purchase of the pine tim- On The Side (Distributed by King Reported nearing perfection is a method of weather forecasting which will result in predictions made a month in advance that will be 90 per cent accurate.

I advance this suggestion as a native son and lifelong resident of Oregon, as well as one of the Senators from our state. Two Reasons . Such an undertaking is sug gested for two basic reasons: (1) It would be a permanent investment in timber and in wildlife, two of Oregon's great est assets. ' (2) It may be imperative for the state to buy these resources of the Klamath reservation, in order to prevent their "bargain basement" liquidation at the sac rifice of the economy and per manent welfare of the south eastern section of Oregon. In addition, purchase of the timber and marsh by the state would be an investment a long range investment in Oregon's fu ture. Despite temporary hard ships facing the lumber market today, I am convinced that the long-term outlook for timber is By E. v. DuriinQ Features Syndicate. Inc.) in a play titled "Silver Wed ding." In this Evelyn portrays a wife, who on the morning of her Silver Wedding Anniversary tells her husband she is bored with him and has acquired a lover she intends running away with. One play reviewer said the idea was ridiculous because a woman who is celebrating her silver wedding is "too old" to have a lover. If a woman married at 21 she would be 46 on her Silver Wed ding Anniversary. If intelligent she could appear to be about 36 or even 31 with the aid of a lit tle plastic surgery. The women of 46 who can inspire and re ciprocate romantic love are num erous. Anyway, sir, if your wife is that age, take no chances. Try not to bore her.

That was the record making year for New York City marriages. 104,548 couples were married in the Big Town that year. The average is about 75,000 a year. New York City has a very good record for lasting successful marriages. They say one reason for that is that so many of the marriages are of childhood sweethearts..

Wildlife is tied in with the recreational and scenic and esthetic aspects of Oregon, and these, too, are great. The Klam ath marsh is essential to water fowl, and it'must be preserved. But its sale to private owners would involve the draining of the marsh, because it has pri vate value vonly as potential cropland. If the state of Oregon does not acquire the Klamath Reserva tion, it is my thought that the pine forest should be managed by the State Forester perhaps in cooperation with the U. S. Forest Service operating in ad jacent National Forest acreage. In addition, it is my belief that the income from management and operation of this vast forest under sustained-yield conser vation practices should be add ed to the Irreducible School Fund, to be used for the sup port of education throughout the state. In order to explore further my suggestion of state acquisition of Klamath property, I have ex tended an invitation to Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes to have repre sentatives from his office, the State Board of Finance, the State Tax Commission, the State Board of Forestry and the Interim Com mittee on Indian problems to ap pear at our Subcommittee's meet ing in Portland on Oct. 4. Through these hearings, it is my hope that we may be able to devise a means of retaining this Klamath forest as a permanent timber-producing , asset for all the people of Oregon. lfsbigV-8 Edsel Engines are the newest in the world The Edsel 400 and the Edsel 475 have a 10.5 to 1 com pression ratio, develop 400 and 475 foot-pounds of torque, 303 and 345 horse power.
