Federal Help Needed
The lumber industry is in serious economic diffi
culties. Oregon, as the ration's chief lumber-producing
state, is suffering the most.
And lumbermen hereabouts, who usually hate the
idea of "running to Washington" for help with their
: problems, are doing just that, with, they believe, good
: reason.
' They contend that the federal go eminent and its
policies have played a major role in the condition of
the lumber market today, and that as a result it has an
obligation to help out in the present unhappy situation.
"IXHY is the lumber market depressed during a per
; iod when the rest of the economy is moving along
I in high gear?
! One cannot point to any one reason and say ''This
I is it." There have been many reasons, all working to
jgether. Any one of them alone would have bothered
! the industry somewhat: but combined at the same
time, they have been very destructive.
They include:
Increasincr use of "substitute'' materials in con
struction.
Overinstalled capacity; that is, too many mills for
either the available supplies of lumber or for the slow
er market.
Satisfaction of the war-bred pent-up demand for
housing. o
"Tight" money.
High prices for stumpage.
IT IS in the last three of these that the federal govern
ment has played a role.
As George Flanagan pointed out in his letter to
President Eisenhower, published in this paper a few
days ago, the government encouraged the ''housing
boom" after the war by making housing credit readily
available through a number of different programs.
Later, however, to counter the inflationary trend,
credit was made more difficult to obtain, and interest
rates were raised (although this has been slightly re-

expanded many times.
In addition, insufficient funds have been made
available to process for sale even the allowable-cut
amounts. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Manage
ment budgets have been trimmed or withheld, both
for administrative and for access road protection. As
a result, much overmature

plies available, competition has bid up the price. Ap-
praised prices, the minimum accepted, were nigh to
begin with as a result of boom-time bidding.
Lumbermen believe if more federal timber were
made available the price of logs would fall to a more
realistic level, to the benefit of everyone. Lumbermen

United States and the Western
Alliance from
Joseph AIsod
This reporter would hesitate
to blurt out such a home truth,
it he did not have the precedent
of November, 1950. The 1950
elections, as will be remembered,
produced a Congrss amounting
to a standing vote of no confid
ence in Secretary of State Dean
G. Acheson. Therefore, this re
porter and his partner then sug
gested Acheson's replacement.
Th suggestion gave much per
sonal offense. Yet it was based
on the most wholly impersonal
reasoning .In effect, a reason
able measure of Congressional
confidence is an essential work
ing part in Secretary of Slate
He may be energetic, intelligent
and courageous, as Acheson was.
But if he lacks this essential
working part, he is like a piece
of machinery that cannot do its
job properly.
rpHE case of Secrtary Dulles in
1957 is the obverse of the
case of Secretary Acheson in
1950. His relations with Con
gress are at least tolerable. But
he althogether lacks the con
fidence of the governments and
peoples of the other nations of
the Western Alliance.
Indeed, this is a grave under
statement. The truth is that John
Foster Dulles is not only hearti
ly detested. Worse still he is pas-
sionately distrusted, in all the
f . A
countries where his job requires j construction accomplished is by
him to represent and typify privatc timber operators who are

SAWTIMBER UP 50
The huge increase in the vol
ume of sawtimbcr in Lane coun
ty should mean much to the
future economy of this area, if
the allowable cut of this timber
is made available for productive
use.
And therein lies one of the
major problems faced by the
U.S. Forest Service and other
agencies in management of these
vast timberlands. In order to
! sell the amount of timber avail-
1 abie under sustained vield man-
agement, there is urgent need
for more access road funds and
funds for more forest service per

government which gets 75 per
cent on lands managed by the
U.S. Forest Service.
A preliminary report by the
U.S. Forest Service on timber
in Lane county (presented to the
Lane Chamber Tuesday) shows
that the volume of sawtimber
has increased more than 50 per
ent since the previous inven
tory in 1942. All sawtimber, in
cluding public and private, is

The threatening situation in

Russia' success in this field
has been made possible largely!
by its form of government.
The big strength of a totali
tarian regime is that it can con
centrate the whole energy of a
nation upon any project it likes
instead of waiting like the de
mocracies for a crisis like
Pearl Harbor to wake up the
government and people.

The latest sensation:
THE RUSSIANS MAY BE
ABOUT TO SHOOT A ROCK
ET TO THE MOON.
An aviation publication, Avia
tion Daily, says reliable Wash
ington sources expect the event
to occur on Nov. 7 the 40th an
niversary of the Bolshevik revo
lution. It adds that the rocket will
attempt to spray the moon's sur
face with red powder forming
a patch visible from the earth
with telescopes.
HMMMMMMMM.
That seems to tag it as an
other propaganda enterprise
designed to convince the world
that Russia is invincible and so
everybody better come over on
Russia's side and leave the
United States lonesome and
alone.
The red powder stain on the!
moon would be visible evidence
of Russia's rocket prowess.
ATOP American scientist
Dr. Allen Hyhek, associate
director of the Smithsonian ob
servatory in Cambridge, Mass.
says it wouldn't be much harder
to send a rocket to the moon
than it was for Russia to place
its earth satellite into its orbit.
He says the rocket used to
launch Sputnik must have had
enough energy to propel it at a
speed of five miles per second
and goes on to say that if two
more miles per second were
edded it could be pushed to the
moon with very little change' in
technique.
TUTTING the moon with a
n Russian rocket would be a
stunt that In itself wouldn't
need to worry us much. The
moon is a long way off, and be
sides it isn't supposed to be in
habited. But let's not be scornful.
If the Russian could hit the
moon with a rocket carrying a
cargo of red paint in its nose, it
stands to reason that they might
be able to hit New York or
Washington with a rocket car
rying an atomic warhead.

But the Allied

As President Eisenh
at his dinner for Queen Eliza
beth Thursday night:
"We have the power. Tha
only thing to do is to put it to
gether." j in the Republican Party now for
estates rights' minded - Southern
Democrats. The Little Rock crisis
on the other hand, cannot fail to
widen the deep North-South rift
within the Democratic Party."
Little Room Left
It seems, therefore, that there
is little room in either major
party now for states rights'
minded Southern Democrats.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.)
pointed up the Democratic party
situation some days ago. Doug
las is of the Democratic left, a
Liberal or New Deal party man,
and prominent in this year's con
gressional effort for all-out civil
rights legislation.
Douglas was asked whether
the efforts of himself and other
northern Democrats might not
force the Southerners out to
form their own party.
"I would welcome it," Doug
las snapped.
Some oilier northern Demo
crats are like-minded. The brake
on Southern enthusiasm for a
third party adventure in 1960 is
the danger that Southern mem
bers of Congress might be read
out of the Demicratic Parly and
thereby lose their prime and
powerful committee chairman
ships. In the possession of these
chairmanships lies the last sub
stantial political power remain
ing to White Democrats in the
Old Confederacy.
The southerners know, of
course that their third party
presidential nominee could not
be elected by the normal pro
cess. Diversion of the electoral
votes of the states of the Old
Confederacy to a third party
candidate might, however, pre
vent any other candidate from
obtaining the required majority
of 266 electoral votes.
The House of Representatives
in that event would choose the
President from among the three
top winners of electoral votes.
In the House each state would
cast one vote. The candidate re
ceiving 25 or more votes would
become the next President. That
magic figure, 25. represents a
majority of one of the votes of
all the states.
Election Stalemale Possible
The 11 states of the Old Con
federacy or the 13 stales now
sometimes listed as comprising
the South would be a powerful
bloc in such an election. They
might bring an election in the
House to absolute stalemate. Hav
ing brought it to stalemate, such
a bloc of states might negotiate
pledges and bargains vitally af
fecting the policies of winner
to whom they finally swung their
support.
It is a tempting thing. The
voice of the South can be heart
no more, or faintly, in the coun
cils of the national Democratic
Partv. A third party operation
well-timed
and exnertlv man-
j aged might change that to let
