When he quit and headed for home this morning, he had a grand total t of 387 straight games, 100 more than the pre vious record held by Tom Baird Jr., Middleton, O. Dunham pass ed up Baird's mark about 11 a.m. on Sunday. He started his string at 7:10 p.m. on FridayQ Dunham was having leg trouble when he called the halt.

His right thumb, of course, was very sore. iveclged 152 The Grants Pass man, who took orange uice, soup and vita min powder during his long grind, had a pin total of 59,158 and a fine average per game of 152. His top game was 258, tying the season best at the local alleys and his poorest was 08 during a 12-hour stretch early Sunday when he was forced to bowl 76 games with his left hand while his sore right thumb was rested. The marathon champion did not seek any short cuts on the way to his high total of games. He tried to make his spares and aimed for as good a score as pos sible on each line. A 213 count of his 285th game was an ex ample of his effort and endur ance. He had a split, five strikes, a flat, a strike, a spare and a nine on the game. Dunham had the challenge of another marathon aspirant to keep him going on Sunday. Ranee Rolfe, Tacoma, Wash., reached 315 games before put ting away his ball. Bus Eaton, Roseburg, former crown wearer was to have made another try at Portland over the week end but reportedly decided to wait ind see how Dunhani fared. Dunham rolled it a pace of 6.45 games per hour. Blisters on his thumb resulted in the switch to his left hand. After the blisters drained and the skin surface hardened, the champ continued with a thumb stall on his right digit. About 9:30 p.m. Sunday a ring was cut from his jwoflen right hand.

Andrews' new pic ture book of the big-timber coun try, its machines and men, ranges from photographs of water power mills of 1904 to the big bandsaw mills of the tidewater towns in the 1920s. It is stuff to wrinkle the nose of any true sawdust savage in wheezy signs over every page. Ralph let me try my hand on the introduction. It rolls this way, in part: The Northwest's pioneering missionaries, the Rev. Jason Lee, Dr. Marcus Whitman and the Rev. Henry Harmon Spald ing, were all sawmill men and carpenters of experience, as well as persons of professional education. Dr. Whitman, while practicing medicine, had been a partner in a Yates county, New York, sawmill. The first mis sionaries of the Northwest did "the very had work of pit saw ing' to produce their first con struction lumber. Jason Lee built water-power sawmills at Salem in 1840 and Willamette Falls in 1841. How They Grew Four years later Dr. Whitman was sawing lumber to the creak ing of a waterwheel. The site was 20 miles up the Walla Walla river from his mission in the yellow pines of the Blue Moun tains. At the time of the Whit man Massacre in November, 1847, 40,000' board feet of lum ber were in stacks at Waiilatpu Mission, for the building of a i school. s In 1847 the American trail blazer on Puget Sound, Michael Simmons, erected a water-power sawmill at the site of today's Tumwater. He sold the mill to Cranick Crosby, ancestor of Bing, and moved to Mason coun ty in 1853, to build his second sawmill. Four steam sawmills were started on the shores of Puget Sound in 1853, three years after the Reed steam sawmill got go ing in Portland. In 1856 lumber trade with Japan was added to the ever-growing California mar ket for the products of Northwest sawmills. The Rail Mills Railroads were built, over the mountains from the Midwest and up from California valleys, to haul Western fir. nine and ' cedar lumber to rich farm-build ing markets. Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and North ern California, began to grow into the giant lumber-producing region of today the greatest sawmill area in all the world. It is a living glory, rooted in reality on every page of the Andrews picture book. The scenes are not pretty. The piles of sawmill leftovers loom large. The monstrous eye of the old time refuse burned glares from many a page. The young lumber lugger who has worked only in the engineered post-war sawmill, equipped with barker and chip jer, having no burner, will find it hard to believe his eyes as he scans the photographs in "This Was Sawmilling." It was no soft business, the long development of the modern industry that is converting West ern forests into the region's big gest payrolls today, while sup plying the home-building needs of the nation, and growing more trees for tomorrow's sawmills. Moss Charges That Secrecy 'Stifling' Washington (ffl Chairman John E. Moss of the House Gov ernment Information s u bcom mittee charged today that an un necessary Pentagon blanket of secrecy is "stifling" the nation's scientific advanmement. "Excessive governmental re strictions on the flow of scientific information," Moss said, are hampering the United States in the race with Russia for missile and technological superiority. The California Democrat made the statements in advance of his subcommittee's new hearings in to secrecy in the Defense Dept artment. The group planned to hear today from Assistant De fense Secretary Murray nyder and Rear Adm. John Hoskjns, the department's chief security cen sor. Also scheduled to testify is Trevor Gardner, former Air Force research chief who quit in a huff over the lag in U.S. missile progress. Moss said Dr. Clifford Furnas, fromer assistant secretary of de fense for research and develop ment, was scheduled to appear tomorrow. Furnas, now chancel lor of the University of Buffalo, also has been critical of the ad ministration's rocket programs. Moss said he hoped the hear ings "wil point the way to a lightening of the blanket of sec recy stifling scientific advance." Subcommittee aides said Snyd er would be asked whether the White House is "controlling" in formation released to the public by the Defense department on the missiles or satellite prorams. Coos Boy Pulp Company Resumes Work Today Anacortes (IP! The Coos Bay Pulp company mill here resumed operations today after being closed two weeks. Officials said the plant had been closed to meet an emerg ency caused by an inventory sur plus. More than 150 employees were out of work during the shutdown.
