ing to the 1958 plan and -1.4

lowable cut, 14.0 according to
1958 plan and plus 0.5 dif
ference. This gives a district total
allowable cut of 121.6 million
board feet and 160.3 million
board feet under the 1958
plan.
The allowable cut is that
designated by the secretary of
the interior. The figures un
der the 1958 plan is what the
staff of the Medford district
office of the BLM estimates
can be offered for sale this
year.
Includes Carry Over
This year, the total of 160.3
million board feet includes 10
million board feet of timber
carried over from that not
sold last year, a spokesman
for the BLM explained.
Ross Youngblood, .district
forester for BLM, said
weather is the only factor
which may hamper or delay
timber sales for the calendar
year of 1958.
Asked how much of the
160 million board feet of tim
ber proposed for sale had
been cruised, Youngblood said
about 68 million board feet.
Most Convenient
Questioned on the method
used in estimating amount of
timber in each tract put up
for sale. Youngblood said the
BLM's method has been found
the least expensive and most
convenient from the govern
ment's viewpoint. He admit
ted some variation exists in
methods used by different
agencies placing timber on
sale. An attempt is now being
made to get all such agencies
to use the same method, he
said.
Russ Getty, of the state
BLM office, said a major han
dicap has been lack of regu
lar personnel for timber
cruising. BLM personnel, be
cause of job requirements,
have had to spend less time
on cruising timber for sales
estimates and more time on
other phases of their jobs.
Civil service is now con
vinced that cruising is a pro
fessional job vital to the lum
ber industry and a man must
be allowed to concentrate on
it. With one man making the
cruise all the time, lumber
men will become better ac
quainted with his method of
estimating timber and can
make the conversion to their
own unit of measure more
easily, Getty explained.
Advisory Board
Every tract put up for sale
is discussed by an advisory
board of 10 people represent
ing a cross-section of the com
munity, Youngblood ex
explained. The board is in
clined to be conservative on
its timber estimates, Young
blood said.
All sales are approved in
the district office, Young
blood said. Talley sheets are
sent to the IBM machine com
pany in Portland for a final
accurate check, he added.
A brief outline of the work
done and planned on access
roads into BLM timber tracts
was given by Dick Schlachter,
district engineer. Completed
are 18 miles on the Galice sys
tem on the south side of the
Rogue river, seven miles on
the Kelsey-Mule creek system
on the north side of the Rogue
river and repair work on the
Hellgate bridge, part of the
Galice system, when com
pleted the Galice system will
extend for 40 miles, it was ex
plained.
Road Projects
Access road prospects for
1958 include the West Fork of
Evans creek for access to
1,170 million board feet of
timber, 700 million board feet
of BLM and 470 million board
feet private timber. Road
length is 16 miles.
White Horse creek bridge
will lead to 100 million board
feet of timber, 69 million
board feet of BLM and 31 mil
lion board feet of private tim
ber. Snow creek bridge will
provide easier access to 94
million board feet of timber,
77 million of BLM, 8 million
of forest service and 9 million
of private timber. Thompson
creek bridge will facilitate ac
cess to 50 million board feet.
Proposed for 1959 is the
Keno rd., to extend for 14
miles to an area of 683 mil
lion board feet of timber. The
total includes 170 million for
the forest service, 157 million
for Weyerhauser, 24 million
of other private timber, and
332 million board feet of BLM
timber.

Story Reporting
Discussion About
Holmes Upsetting
Leak 'Unfortunate
Sen. Morse Asserts
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Oregon's
five Democrats in Congress
are stewing over the old prob
lem of how to stop leaks to
the press of "political family
problems" which they prefer
to discuss behind closed doors.
They were upset over an
article by this correspondent
reporting that last week they
discussed the political vulner
ability of Gov. Robert D.
Holmes in the upcoming elec
tion campaign.
No member of the delega
tion, four of whom were in
terviewed Tuesday, question
ed the accuracy of the story,
except Congresswoman Ed
ith Green who said she reach
ed no such conclusions about
Holmes' political situation.
Several expressed concern
that the inference was being
drawn in Oregon that ill will
existed between the delega
tion and the governor.
Sources who attended the
breakfast meeting last week
s?id there was no expression
of animosity or ilr" feeling
toward Holmes, just candid
concern for the political prob
lems he confronts in his re
election bid.
Sen. Wayne Morse, in a
letter to his colleagues, said
it was "unfortunate" that
someone had leaked what was
supposedly a "confidential"
discussion.
"I think it is obvious that
the meetings will lose their
value if members of the dele
gation or members of their
staffs are going to take the
position that they are free to
tattle to the press every pol
itical family problem we may
discuss at the breakfast."
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
called this reporter to his of
fice in an effort to learn the
sources of the story. Neu
berger was told that they
could not be identified.
This reporter obtained the
information through conver
sations .with at least half of
the 18 persons who attended
the meeting. ,
Rechecking sources Tues
day, it was learned that the
discussion about Holmes was
initiated by Morse, who, as
chairman of the delegation
meeting, determined the ag
enda. Morse Tuesday noted that
the next conference of the
delegation will be held next
Monday, after which he rec
ommended that everyone re
frain from public comment
beyond the scope of a prepar
ed joint statement to the
press.

MARK HATFIELD
To Oppose Unander
Hatfield Enters
Race for State's
Highest Office
Portland (IP) A wide-
open primary election battle
for the state's top office
shaped up today with the an
nouncement of 35-year-old
Secretary of State Mark Hat
field that he would' be a can
didate for the Republican
nomination for governor.
As many as a half-dozen
persons may be involved in
the primary struggle three
Democrats and three Repub
licans. Gov. Robert D. Holmes,
Portland insurance man Lew
Wallace and Multnomah
County Assessor Wiley Smith
already are in the running on
the Democratic side of the
fence.
And Hatfield's announce
ment pitted him against State
Treasuerer Sig Unander, 44,
for the GOP nomination. State
Sen. Howard Belton, Canby,
has also indicated he- mav he
a Republican candidate.
Mind Changed - ...:---.-A
In announcing his candida
cy Hatfield said "in recent
weeks, I have been besieged
by sincere people who believe
that it is mv duty to cive the
Republicans of Oregon a free
choice in an open primary."
Some time ago the secre
tary had said he "could not
at this time conceive of cir
cumstances" that would in
duce him to run and he said
today it was still his personal
preference to complete his
first term as secretary of
state.
But the final decision to run
was made in Salem Tuesday
night at the home of Assistant
Secretary Warne Nunn at
tended by Republican leaders.
Hatfield 'said the people
urging him to run were inter
ested in a candidate who
could "unify and energize the
Republicans of the state" and
who would wage a "hard,
fighting campaign."
Hatfield served six years in
the state House and Senate
before becoming secretary of
state, Unander is in the midst
of his second term as state
treasurer.

"A major, unpredicted need
now demands attention, study
and correction. That is the
need for park and recrea
tional facilities to catch up
and keep up' with our rapidly
increasing population.
"In the past, the major por
tion of this burden has been
left to the Medford school
system. Within their means,
they have done everything
possible to provide and super
vise recreation for both in
school and out-of-s c h o o 1
time."

Arlington (IP Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
. nnson (Tex.) urged the administration Tuesday to invite
all members of the United Nations to join in the conquest
of space "as an outpost of peace."
"The dimensions of space dwarf our national difference
on earth," Johnson told a meeting of Columbia Broadcasting
System representatives. "And if we are to win space as the
outpost of peace, all men may and should share in that en
deavor." Terming the space-age challenge the greatest ever to face
man, Johnson suggested that this country invite scientists of
other nations to work together.
Ike Will Find 'Nation Undivided'
He called on President Eisenhower "to lead in this labor
boldly and forcefully" and predicted that "in the vigorous
pursuit of peace he will find the nation undivided in his
support."
President Eisenhower, in his week end letter to Soviet
Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin, urged an agreement to ban
development and testing of space weapons. But he did not
suggest a United Nations space program.
Johnson said that "surely we cannot, as leaders of free
men" fail to see that the joint conquest of space "affords us
the one clear course to recapture the initiative for freedom."
The Democratic leader also urged a reappraisal of U.S.
foreign and domestic policies in the light of recent Soviet
achievements. He said the policy of physical containment of
Soviet Communism largely had succeded until now but there
was no assurance of continued success.
Defense Likened to Maginot Line
"We have, for long, held a position of strength in world
affairs, he said. "That position is no longer secure. We must
not be so inflexible that we can imagine no changed policy
to cope with a changed position.
"We need the marshalling of our resources, physical and
mental such as we have never had before," he continuel.
"We need imagination and freshness. We need force and
boldness in our leadership."
Johnson likened U.S. defense policies to the Great Wall
of China and the French Maginot line prior to World War II.
He said "we have built a wall against aggression, but now
we find that we are imprisoned. The Soviet has, dramatical
ly, leaped over the wall."
ilson, -Hoover Are
Names for
Names for two new elemen
tary schools were selected by
the Medford school board last
night.
A new school at Grand and
Corona aves. has been named
Wilson elementary school, and
one in the Verde Hills area on
Siskiyou blvd. extension has
been named Hoover elemen
tary school.
Selection of the names has
been considered by the board
for more than a month. The
names follow a policy of the
school board to name elemen
tary schools after presidents
of the United States. After
Wilson and Hoover were de
termined for the new schools,
designating the particular
school was done by drawing.
Plans Reviewed
Plans for the new schools
were reviewed by board mem
bers last night. The board
hopes to have bids prepared to
let by mid-February, board
members said.
Bonds to finance construc
tion of the elementary schools
and an addition to Medford
high school were sold recent
ly. The buildings and high
school addition are part of a
$1,786,000 two-year building
program approved by district
voters last November.
In other action, the board
set May 5 as the election of
school board members, but set
no date for the budget elec

Guilty Verdict Is
Returned by Jury
A district eourt jury late
Tuesday returned a verdict of
guilty after hearing the case
of Raymond Richard Koch,
Forest Acres, Central Point,
on charges of illegally holding
a game bird in captivity.
He was fined $25 plus costs
and a 30 day jail sentence was
suspended on condition he
pay the fine.
Koch was brought into the
district court on a warrant
after he failed to appear at the
appointed time for a jury trial
which his attorney had re
quested on his behalf.
Testimony revealed that
Koch's field was being plowed
when his sons discovered a
pheasant's nest had been des
troyed. The boys picked up
several eggs and put them un
der a hen. Koch told the jury
he was planning lo keep the
birds until hunting season
when he would release them
and notify the state game
commission.
The penalty for such an of
fense according to the law is
from $25 to $500 and from
30 days to six months in jail.
Koch last summer filed as
a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for county
sheriff.

Dulles Against Criticism
Washington W Presi
dent Eisenhower said today
that Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles is the last per
son he wants to see leave the
Cabinet.
In a stout-hearted defense
of Dulles, the President told
a news conference he would
describe as trash reports that
Dulles may quit the No. 1
Cabinet post.
Dulles has been under in
creasing criticism, particularly
from U. S. allies abroad, for
taking a "negative" attitude
towards possible negotiations
with the Soviet Union. There
have been reports that Dulles
submitted his resignation re
cently to the President in
Business Upturn
Expected To Keep
Budget Balanced
News Conference
First Since Oct. 30
Washington OP) President
Eisenhower said today he
thinks a reasonable amount of
red ink financing would be
far preferable to any increase
in taxes.
The President, in his first
meeting with reporters since
last Oct. 30, stuck to his belief
that there will be a business
upturn this year that will
keep the new budget bal
anced. But he conceded that
Congress -might vote addition
al expenditures and thus force
federal spending over his pro
jected goal of $73,900,000,000.
In. Amiable Mood
The President, who suffer
ed a mild stroke Nov. 25, ap
peared to be in an amiable,
easy mood.
He said he felt fine.
The President said that
while he had not actually con
sidered resigning in connec
tion with his November ill
ness, he would have no re
course but to quit if he ever
felt or was told by a group of
eminent doctors that he was
not up to doing his job.
But he said he did not an
ticipate any such develop
ment in this connection.
Other news conference
highlights:
He said any summit meet
ing with the Russians could
be held only after lengthy,
careful preparation starting
on the ambassador level. But
even after such preparation,
he said there would be no
point in a summit meeting un
less there was clear evidence
in advance that the top level
conversations would result in
profitable agreement. 1
He said he saw no reason
to maintain the federalized
National Guard in Little Rock
once city officials could ex
press their confident inten
tions of maintaining order In
their own. He added that he
hopes such an expression of
confidence will be forthcom
ing soon.
Offers Campaign Help
He promised that in the
congressional campaigns this
fall he would do his best to
help elect Republican candi
dates who share his philos
ophy of government.
He. said the details of De
fense Department reorganiza
tion and greater service unifi
cation should come primarily
from an agreement between
Congress and the executive
branch of government par
ticularly the armed services
rather than following any
minutely detailed blueprint
he might lay down.
