First National
Deposits Decline
Year-end deposits at the
Medford branch of the First
National bank of Portland
totaled $26,461,038, accord
ing to Elwood Hedberg, vice
president and manager.
The total compares with de
posits amounting to $28,623,
442 at the end of 1956. Total
loans and discounts at the
Medford branch were $11,-
450,502, compared to $12,779,-
102 on Dec. 31, 1956.
Statewide, the bank's de
posits totaled $788,569,011, a
decrease of $29,241,980 from
Dec. 31, 1956. Loans and dis
counts af the end of last year
totaled $388,569,985, a de
crease of $43,282,200 from
the 1956 total, bank officials
reported.
Bank loans have decreased
throughout the nation, and it
is reflected in lower commer
cial bank deposit totals, C. B.
Stevenson, bank president
said. The decline has been
emphasized in the Pacific
northwest by the slower pace
of the lumber industry, he
said.

enough information about the

it no secret to the Soviets.
The Air Force is hoping to
start construction this month,
weather permitting, on a huge
arc of guided missile bases
that extends some 350 miles
along a course running from
north of Anchorage to north
east of Fairbanks.
Estimates of the construc

OLCC Dollar Sales
Volume in '57 Down
Portland (IP) The Ore
gon Liquor Control commis
sion learned Wednesday that
its dollar sales volume for
1957 would be down only
about 1.1 per cent from 1956.
Administrator Joseph A.
Nance said sales last year
would come close to equaling
the $45 million .worth of
liquor sold in the state in
1956. The state treasury re
ported a profit of about
33 13 per cent on liquor
sales in state stores.
During December alone the
Commission took in $542,247
for 5118 license certificates
issued, despite a policy of rec
ommending for renewal only
those licenses at places which
maintain adequate good ser
vice and fill a need in the
vicinity.
The Commission deferred
until its next regular meeting
action on a proposal to permit
tavern operators to sell beer
in pitchers. The proposed rul
ing would apply to on the pre
mises consumption only.

Missing Yachtman
Believed Safe
Miami, Fla. (IP) Yachts
men aiding in the search for
the missing racing yawl Rev
onoc said today its owner,
wealthy New York publisher
Harvey Conover, was an ex
pert sailor and probably
came safely through the storm
into which his craft disap
peared. No trace of the sleek 45
foot Revonoc and its five pas
sengers has been found since
it sailed Jan. 2 on a trip from
Key West to Miami. Conover,
his wife,, son, daughter-in-law
and a friend were aboard.
Yachtsman Dick Bertram,
who has sailed with Conover,
said the Revonoc was a "fine,
sound and new little ship, and
there was no better yachts
man afloat than Harvey Con
over . . . This would be by
no means have been his first
experience with a gale like
the one he must have hit."

Fresh Needle Marks
"I'm really hooked," the
emaciated teen ager told of
ficers, who said she still bore
fresh needle marks on her
arms. She blamed loneliness
and frustrated attempts to be
a singer for her troubles.
"I was lonely. I had nothing
else to do, and my mother
wouldn't talk to me," she said.
"I wanted to be a singer but
I was too heavy. They told me
it would help me lose weight.
It's a horrible way to do it."
Miss Burns and her mother,
Mrs. Harriet Burns, have been
estranged for nearly two
years. She received $500 a
month from the late co
median's estate, most of
which went to supporting her
habit.
Lost 45 Pounds
The young woman told of
ficers she started taking
heroin last February and was
shooting "three or four caps
a day" for the past few
months. She said she lost 45
pounds.
Miss Burns' famous father,
known as the "Arkansas
Traveler," died almost two
years ago. He left an estate
estimated at more than $2
million.

Interstate Bridge
Eligible for Funds
Washington (IP) Secre
tary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks said Wednesday the
new Interstate bridge be
tween Portland, Ore., and
Vancouver, Wash., was eligi
ble for federal funds which
would make it toll free.
However, Weeks took no
position on whether Congress
should reimburse states for
all bridges, roads or tunnels
which will be part of the new
interstate highway network.
An act of Congress would
be needed to provide the
money before the new struc
ture would be free of tolls.
Lady Finds Painter
Demands Top Price
Los Angeles (IP) The
high fashioned lady in the ex
pensive automobile looked at
the man painting a house and
asked him how much he
charged by the hour.
"Well," said the painter,
"my rates are pretty high,
lady."
"How high?" said the worn
an, getting impatient. "I don't
mind paying for good work."
"In my profession, I get
$2,000 an hour, or $33.33 a
minute. Take your pick!"
Huffily the lady sped away,
not realizing she had been
talking to Ollie Matson, Chi
cago Cardinal star and one of
the highest paid, players in
the National Football league.
The story was told here
where Matson is practicing
for the Pro Bowl game Sun
day in Memorial coliseum.
Oregon Centennial
Bills Introduced
Washington (IP) Rep.
Edith Green (D-Ore.), today
introduced two bills in "con
nection with Oregon's 1959
Centennial Exposition and
International Trade Fair.
One of the measures would
exempt from customs duties
articles imported from for
eign countries for exhibit at
the exposition in Portland.
The other is a resolution
asking the president to issue
a national proclamation call
ing for recognition of Feb.
14, 1959, as the 100th anni
versary of Oregon statehood.
The Senate already has ap
proved such a resolution.
heralded Vanguard launching
a big fizzle.
Closest Point
' Missile launching sites in
Alaska would provide the
closest, point on the North
American continent for pois
ing these deadly weapons
which, when brought to their
terrible perfection, could be
fired at key points through
out Russia just over the north
pole.
The Air Force also is plan
ning some other secret pro
ject along the Arctic coast,
where last week it got the
government to withdraw
from public use 10 parcels
of land stretching out to the
east and west of Point Bar
row. This is not for missiles, but
the Pentagon won't reveal
what it plans to do here.
Manifestly, another change
in the defense picture in
Alaska will have to come
sooner or later reequip
ment of the Dewline stations
with radar which is capable
of detecting guided missiles.
The Dewline is now an air
craft warning system which
is incapable of detecting and
tracking anything moving
with the speed of an ICBM.
Federal Supervision
These military programs
implemented in Alaska point
up the reservation which
President Eisenhower had
until recently about granting
statehood to Alaska. He held
that for purely military con
siderations, it would be pre
ferable to keep the territory '
under strictly federal super
vision. Now, however, he is sup
porting statehood under a
plan developed for allowing
a vast military reservation in
all of the northeast Alaska
roughly north of the Yukon
river. The pending statehood
bill would allow the presi
dent to withdraw all that
area from any private use for
defense purposes.
Meanwhile, the signifi
cance of Alaska has been en
hanced militarily and other
wise, by the promising dis
covery of oil on the Kenal
peninsula south of Anchor
age. Virtually every major
oil company now is investing
in leases and exploratory
work, so confident are they
that this first strike is only
an indicator of vast oil re
sources. Greater Profit
One big reason they are go
ing all out to find Alaskan
oil is that the Suez canal
squabble pointed up the tenu
ous nature of America's oil
supply from the Middle East.
American companies, more
over, would prefer to get oil
on Alaska's public lands be
cause the profit would be
much greater. In the Middle
East they are generally pay
ing 50 per cent of the value
of the crude oil to the gov
ernment of the country from
which it is tapped.
The royalty payment which
oil companies make to the
U.S. government for oil taken
out of 'public lands has been
as high as 33 per cent in years
past, later reduced to 25 per
cent. But Alaska, because of
its remote position, was put
under a special incentive low
royalty of 12VS per cent
The Northwest has a big
stake in the fruition of all
these plans in improving the
state of Alaska.
