C. Williams told a Senate subcommittee hearing here Wed nesday that it would take 20 years under present federal for est highway allocations to bring existing highways in the nation al forests of Oregon to an accept able standard. He added that this would not include additional forest roads that will be needed in the mean time. Williams was one of several witnesses to appear before a Senate public roads subcommit tee to urge allocation of more federal funds to Oregon for for est highways. The Oregon state highway en gineer said S80 million is needed to bring forest roads in the state up to usable standards. At pres ent, about S4.300.000 is allo cated by the federal government for this purpose despite the fact that the government nets about S28,400,000 a year in revenue from the national forests in Ore gon. Holmes Protests Formula Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn), chairman of the subcommittee, expressed concern over the mak ing of "arbitrary" decisions by officials in Washington, D.C. Gore and Sen. Richard L. Neu berger (D-Ore.) opened the hear ing on a charge by Congress man Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) that Oregon, is being "cheated out of 51,693,885 a year" because of a new formula adopted by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Public Roads on ap portionment of federal forest highway funds to the states. , The Senators considered a statement from Gov. Robert D. Holmes, who was unable to ap pear in person, that he felt Ore gon was not receiving its fair share of forest highway funds because of the formula change. He stated: "I wish to take this occasion to protest the adoption of the new formula." Sen. Gore said his subcommit tee would give the matter full consideration and added: "It may be that it will become necessary to write a formula into law, to deprive officials in Washington of making arbitrary decisions." The new forest highway allo cation formula was announced in November without prior notice. It provides that Oregon will re ceive S4,306,115. This is actually an increase of S173.000 over the current year, but if the old allo cation formula had remained in effect, Oregon would have been in line to receive some S6. mil Ion in forest highway funds for the next fiscal year, according to Porter. Under' the original formula, in use since 1922, the federal for est highway fund was divided among the states on the basis of 50 points for the area of national forest within each state and 50 points for the -value of the forest land. The new formula allows 75 points for value. Since Oregon's forest land is highly valued more so than that of any other state according to a recent Forest Service revaluation the states loses under the new formula.

KEMIUCJOT f r m Hollywood (IP) It was 5:30 p.m. in the cavernous gloom of a 20th Century-Fox sound stage when 50 crew- members grew silent and fo cused their at t e n t ion on a frightened lit tle girl. Lights b r i ghtened a corner of the stage. The cam era rolled. Pro- Vernon Scott ducer Geo r g e Stevens intoned directions, "All right now,' Millie, write in the diary and believe in what you're doing." Millie Perkins, a tiny sprite of a girl in her mid-teens, trem bled and spoke in a bare whisper. Looking beyond the lights into the murk behind Stevens, Millie could see the face of the microphone boom man, the cam eraman, perspiring grips who pushed the dolly in for a close up and assorted grim-faced tech nicians. Uninspiring Group It wasn't a group to inspire an Academy Award perform ance. But little Millie, her pale fea tures rigid with tension, read her lines: "It would be nice to have someone to confide in . . ." "Cut," said Stevens. "Let's try it again. Easy does it." This was a screen test for the title role in "The Diary of Annie Frank," the second of the day for Stevens who has tested some 15 American girls and many more in Europe for the prize part of the little Dutch girl who hid for two years from the Nazis. Millie, a New York model, did better on her second try. After it was over Stevens called a halt for the day, thanking her kindly. "She has a wonderful face," he said. "Never acted before in her life, but I thought she did very well. Deadline Nears "We're still looking for a girl between 12 and 15 years old for the picture. Our deadline is getting closer. We start filming in three or four weeks." After six months of searching Stevens and his assistants have interviewed some 3,000 young sters. The field is narrowing, but he hasn't yet chosen the girl. "We've gone to schools and other places where there are crowds of young girls, looking for a face that stands out from all the rest." Members of the crew were straggling off the set as Stevens spoke. In a corner Millie donned her coat and slipped out a side Planning for NATO Parley Concluded Wilh Conference Washington OP) Adlai E. Stevenson headed back to Illin ois today feeling his treatment by President Eisenhower and his staff was casual to downright cool. Not so at the State Depart ment, however, where Steven son found a welcome mat out from Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Stevenson took an office at the State Department Nov. 18 to help administration planning for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) "summit" conference. He was invited by Dulles with Eisenhower's bless ing.. Has Finished Job The two-time Democratic pres idential nominee concluded his task Wednesday with a long con ference with Dulles. He made no comment after the meeting but is known to feel the adminis tration lacks a "sense of ur gency" in meeting the Soviet challenge. There is considerable evidence a Dec. 3 White House conference between Eisenhower and Stev enson, their first in four years, failed to heal 1952 and 1956 campaign wounds. Stevenson came away with mixed emotions. He said the President said he would be hap py to have Stevenson go to the NATO meeting in Paris. Asked whether the President had "in vited" him to go, however, Stev enson replied off-hand: "I don't know whether I've been invited or not." The White House said later he had been invited.

It will be weeks before the youngster finds out whether she wins the role of Anne Frank. The odds are against her, but at least she got as far as a screen test. enson said he would not go to Paris unless compelling" rea sons arose. As he donned his brown hat and gray coat to leave today, Stevenson was not 100 per cent opposed to administration poli cies. Generally however he was far from happy about adminis tration reaction to thetwin chal lenges of Russia's Sputnik and economic warfare. His opinion, expressed to Dul les, is that the "Hottest war right now is the cold war." He be lieves there is lack of imagina tion, initiative and action in Washington today. Right now Stevenson is head ing back to his law practice in Chicago. 4B 4g $0 a ROYAL DELUXE TWIN-PACK PORTABLE Will deliver for CHRISTMAS . . . o o o 4& Typewriter 1 J?L r I o eg mo - Balance 24 Payments $00 Per Mo.
