ISPORTS
o
Amazing Dennis Dunham,
Grants Pass's 22-year-old iron
man of the kegling alleys and
new world marathon charrmion.
halted his parade of consecutive
games about 9:15 a.m. today,
approximately 62 hours after
opening his assault at Medford
Bowling lanes for the crown.
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.
He was tired and stiff but other
wise non-the-worse for wear.
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.
With Dunham throughout the
record effort to encourage and
advise him was C. F. (Doc)

tyV2L STEVENS
"This Was Sawmilling . .
Ralph W. 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.

Pulp company mill here resumed
operations today after being

Officials said the plant had
