Libel Suit iiled
OO
Against Hewsman
On Portland Paper
Portland (W Stanley Wq
jLaji, a .roruana city commis
sioner, Saturday filed a half-million-dollar
libel suQ against
the Journal Publishing Company j
and against former Journal p
porter Arthur Bradley "Williams.
The suit charges that the news
paper and Williams provided
ColurOnst Drewr Pearson with
material for two columns which
purported to link Earl with Port
land racketeer JamesQElkins.
0 The two columns were not j
primed in The JourfSil but were i
printed, acceding to Earl's com
plaint, by most of 700 newspap
er subscribers to the column afti
by the Oregcft Teamster, a un
igji publication. O
Olher Suits FilGfl
Libel suitsohave also been
filed by Earl againstthe Coos
(pBay World, the Seattle Post-In-
telligencer Sjjid the Oregon
Teamster. O
Erl claims he has been ex
posed to "public contempt, hat
red and ridicule" and that he is
suffered "extreme mental agony
and suffering.' o
The suits asserts that the Jour
nal gjublishing Company and
Williams "knowingly and ma
liciously published of and con
cerning Oie plaintiff to og Drew
Pearson and one Jack Anderson,

Earl asks a trial by jury.
A record production ol sor
ghum grain in 1957 418 million
bushels is forecast by the U. S.
Department of griculfire. That
would more than double the
(pi 95J? crop and would be 72 per
cent above the record crop of
1955.
Use hard paste wax over shop
tools that rust easily. The wax
seals out moisture and alsowill

Fear of Floods O
The fear of floods keeps much
of tQ best land from being de
veloped, it is pointed out. Rich
bottom land which goes down
the river is forever lostQto its
owner, the county, state and na
tion, and the yearly) revenue
from that land.
Far from the least of the flood
losses are the damage of floods
to fish and wildlife. Ben Hilton
of Grants Pass testified that im
mediately after the 1955 flood,
he saw sand bars pink with fish
eggs downstream from Grants
Pass. This is mute testimony of
spawning beds destroyed and a
terrific loss of fish lifeQthe re
port stated. q
Frances Krouse, of Applegate,
testified he countedQmore than
50 salmon spawning in a hole
on his place prior to the 1955
flood. After the flood, spawning
bed and fish were gone and a
sand bar left in its place.
"A mighty avaienche tearing
down a mountain' side over a
busy highway has no greater des
tructiveness nor greater poten
tial danger than raging flood
waters which roar down our
strecis in time of flood," the
subcommittee stated in its re
port. "It was only by the grace
of God and the unselfish efforts
of our Civil Defense and volun
teers along the river tharno loss
of life resulted frcwi the De
cember, 1955, flood."
Joe Shaw of the Rogue Rod
and Gun club testified before the
Congressional hearing in Med
ford, 1956, "all the filing and
allthe hunting is not worth one
human life."
Should Be Cooperative Effort
The securing of flood control
in Jackson county and the Rogue
basin should be a cooperative
effort on the part of every land
owner in the basin. Good forestry
practices in timber land, with j
reforestation and the seeding of
bare land to grass, sensible range !
management, with the controlled
grazing of mountain pastures,
soil conservation practiced on
every farm all of these things
will help, it was pointed out in
the report.
) The one thing which ap
parent during the last two years j
is ovily storage will give ade
flood protection. That
weVns storage on the main stem
of the Rogue river itself and on
the larger tributaries.
The committee listed several
miscellaneous facts regarding
the 1955 flood. Among them
were:
"The-flood of December, 1955,
