FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, February 13, 1958 Long Range Conservation Plan For Fish, Wildlife In Works By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Interior Department is working up a long range conservation de velopment pro gram for fish and wildlife, not unlike the "Mission 66" program launched two years ago for improving the national park system. A. Robt Smitb " vv--'-' "it will stress such matters as land acquisitions for water fowl as additions to the na tional wildlife refuge system; " and research to counteract the destructive effects on fish and wildlife of such hazards as "insecticides and dams. Under the land acquisition program, the department has its eye on the 15,689-acre marsh in the Klamath Indian ' reservation, which would be " come a refuge. Interior wants 'to purchase the marsh from "the tribe when federal super vision over the Klamaths is terminated. Also in the works is a 2,-000,000-acre wildlife manage- ment area in the Kuskokwim ' river delta of western Alaska, nesting ground of a high per centage of the geese and ducks -on the Pacific flyway. - Boiler Informed ; These are some of the rea--sons for the enthusiastic sup port tne organizea conserva tionists are now giving Secre tary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton, after having lambast ed his predecessor, Douglas McKay. "Wo arp vprv hannv with him," observed a veteran, con servation leader this week. "He is better informed. I don't think McKay had any know ledge of what was going on. He was being used, and I'm sorry because he is a nice guy. But Seaton knows what IV ITHriW III! WllIlIIaE LI J 11C11L for the things he blieves in." - Conservationists are hap piest at the moment over Seaton's recent decision against any further oil leasing oh wildlife refuges, unless it appears that oil is being drain ed away from, these federal areas by nearby drilling out side the refuges. The only ex ception to this ruling was in Alaska, where drilling had al ready started on the Kenai Moose Range and resulted in a major strike last summer by Richfield. The oil industry, of course, stoutly opposed Seaton's plan to make the wildlife areas off limits to further exploration. Conservationists are pleased over Seaton's reorganization of the Fish and Wildlife Serv ice, which has raised its status at Interior through a new as sistant Secretary, Ross L. Lef fler, a Pennsylvania conserva tionist in whom the organized sport and game groups express great confidence. The eleva tion of career men, such as Arnie J. Suomela of Oregon to become Commissioner of Fish and Wildlife, has gone over big. Other Ideas The commerical fishing in dustry had other ideas, which were about to be implemented at Interior when Seaton came into office. Seaton also is on the side of the conservation groups in the brewing fight over Nez Perce dam in the middle Snake River. He blasted it at his last pres conference, say ing it "would be terribly de structive of the salmon indus try and sports fishing in the Northwest." What they are hopefully wondering now is whether Seaton will line up the Eisen hower administration behind the bill (S. 3185) recently in troduced by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.). It would require the Federal Power Commission to gain Interior's approval of fish consideration before issuing licenses for dams. Without this form of re straint on the FPC, they see little likelihood of preserving the fish migrations of the Salmon River, one of the Northwest's natural treasures they are currently mobilizing to protect.

Roberts, who considers him self the most sorely misunder stood man of God in modern times, has always had.to fight a steady stream of accusations from both the clergy and the public. The tall, gangling evange list eagerly and calmly an swers all the accusations, among them the charge he says he is not a faith-healer yet does little to dispel the notion. He is often accused of using human misery to amass a personal fortune, of battling the medical profession, and of selling the Scriptures, sal vation and faith-healing like soap. "Actually," says Roberts, "far too much is said about faith-healing portions of our services. We are primarily in terested in saving souls, and prayers for the healing of the body come naturally at the close of the services because we believe God is a good God and does not want us to suf fer." Only God Can Heal "I am not a faith-healer," he insists. "I am an instru ment of God, an instrument for faith-healing and that's different. Only God can heal and I have never claimed such powers for myself." At each of his meetings, Roberts tells his listeners that 'it's God who's doing the heal ing, not me" but there are still many who confuse God, the Healer, with Roberts, God's earthly contact with the sick. Roberts says he gen uinely regrets this. Roberts does maintain he possesses a God-given power that feels like "liquid fire" in his hands. The power 'was des cribed by T. J. Rathke of Cameron, Wis., who claimed he was cured through Roberts of angina pectoris, as being like "a charge of electricity." Rathke and other Roberts followers annually contribute more than $3 million to carry qn the work of the Oral Rob erts Evangelistic Association, whose 350 employees will move into a new seven-story headquarters building in Tul sa, Okla., in November. The association's work is big business. It carries on 12 Roberts crusades a He says it is the custom for ministers of the Pentecostal Holiness Church to keep such information to themselves, and he does not intend to break the custom. At the close of each of his crusades, a "love offering" is collected for Roberts, his wife, and their four children. An aide said "S2,000 is as much as we can hope for" in these collections. Since Rob erts conducts a dozen crusades a year, his income thus ap proaches S25.000, the same as that of Billy raham, one of the few evangelists, who re veals his salary. The charges that Roberts over-simplifies theology, pre sents a too-literal interpreta tion of the Scriptures, and dis penses faith-healing as though he were selling soap, the evangelist has this to say: 'Yes, we do use a healing line and we have to pray over more than 200 sufferers in a single service. It may look like we're selling soap, but we're not our time is limit ed, and so is my physical strength, and we're trying to do the most good for as many people , as possible. "I hope God lets me live another 30 years, for I think by then we'll see an unbeliev ably close alliance between science and the kind of heal ing I encourage. The doctors are finding out that their medicines don't always help." Roberts says God has in structed him to save a mil lion souls a year, and no criti cism will stand in his way. - "At the same time," he says, "I would be no kind of minister at all if I didn't use my God-given ability to lead the sick to the Lord's healing waters."

Monthly Investment Plan Developed Into S80 Million Deal By MERRIMAN SMITH UP White House Writer Washington OP Back stairs at the White House: The whoop-la attendant at the reception of new ambass adors in European capitals is the real reason behind the recent shift in the White House system of receiving envoys on the occasion of their accreditation. In years past, when a new ambassador came to this town, the custom was to send a White House or State Depart ment car to his embassy and he rode quietly to the White By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (IP) The New York Stock Exchange's monthly investment plan (MIP) now celebrating its fourth birth d a y has grown to a robust $80 million baby involving in vestment in 2,05 9 , 1 6 5 shares. Elmer Waller Tt has grown steadily in each year of its existence, the stock market reported today. Last year par ticipants in the plan bought 754,596 shares with invest ments 6f as little as $40 a month. That compared with 535.090 shares bought in 1956: 402,937 in 1955,' and 300,504 in 1954. So far in 1958 the month of January purchases amounted to 66,038 shares, or an annual rate of 792,456 shares. The little fellows who par ticipate in this plan have lik ed General Electric best for their investments. The other nine top issues best liked by MIP buyers are General Mo tors, Dow Chemical, Standard Oil (N.J.), Sperry Rand, Tri Continental, Radio Corp., American Telephone, Phillips Petroleum, and American Air lines. Phillips Petroleum jumped in popularity with a gain of 64.5 per cent in 1957 com pared with 1956 and Tri-Con- tinental, the nation's largest closed end investment trust, showed a gain of 52.6 per cent, the best performers m the group listed above. Buy and Sell , In the last quarter of 1957 Mutual Funds sold General Electric, General Motors. American Telephone, and American Airlines and bought RCA, Sperry Rand, and Dow Chemical. Tne little fellows in part followed the experts. The MIP participants favor the medium priced issues, the report by the exchange shows. Yields on their stocks range down from 5 per cent or more to a mere 2 per cent, showing a stress on growth rather than return. Both men and women are in the plan and the women seem to like it. Mrs. Eleanor Blumenberg of Los Angeles says women get a kick out of it because the average housewife doesn't often make major financial decisions. "It's ideal for the small in vestor because most , people are reluctant to buy one share at a time," said R. J. Pyne of Chicago, part owner of a sign making shop. Hopes for the Future "I'm a long-term investor," said Pyne in a telephone check by the stock exchange. "The important thing to me is that MIP provided a way to buy stock which I believe has great hopes for the future." Keith Funston, president of the exchange, said the ex change is particularly im- First Bookmobile Schedules Visit In City Friday "B-58," the first bookmo bile bought for Oregon with state and federal funds, will be exhibited to residents of Medford and Jackson county on Friday afternoon, Feb. 14. Parking spaces for the 21 foot mobile library have been reserved on Main st. in front of the United States National bank. "B-58" is currently making a tour of westerrn Oregon under the direction of Mrs. Mabel E. Baker, western Ore gon extension librarian of the Oregon state library, ine pur pose of the tour is to give the readers of the state a graphic idea of the advantages of bookmobile service to those who live beyond areas serv ed by city and community branch libraries. To Leave Salem The bookmobile is sched uled to leave Salem Thurs day, Feb. 13, driving to Rose burg that day, then to arrive in Medford about 11 a.m. on Friday, The bookmobile will remain on exhibit in Med ford Friday afternoon, and go to Ashland for display on Saturday. An actual demon stration of bookmobile tours will be held in Josephine county, Feb. 17-20, with the traveling library covering a number of routes planned for such service. Conducting the bookmo bile exhibit are two members of the state library staff, a 'bookmobile librarian and a driver. They will distribute brochures of information concerning bookmobile ser vice and answer questions about the availability of fed eral funds for bookmobile operation. Residents of Medford and of rural Jackson county are invited to visit the bookmo bile during either its Med ford or its Ashland exhibits. House with the chief of proto col to present his credentials to the President. Wiley T. Buchanan Jr., since he has been State De partment chief of protocol, has accompanied several am bassadors to the White House on such missions and noticed the high degree of contrast between the pomp and cir cumstance in Europe and the lack-luster treatment in Wash ington. So, he decieded to do some thing about it. - Buchanan pointed out that in a European capital, when a new ambassador is to pre sent his credentials to the head of state, the resident government rolls out its best gold carriage and the new envoy is borne to the palace or capital in high style. The envoy also is welcomed in a colorful ceremony. The Washington system has been for the envoy to drive up to the White House, get out of the car to be welcomed only by news photographers and walk through the lobby and into a reception room to be received by the President. Dairy Industries Elect Portland Man Corvallis UP) Harold Un derbill of Portland was elect ed president of the Oregon Dair Industries at the closing session of its meeting here Wednesday. ' J. S.

The exchange, as a part of the fourth anniversary of the plan, is launching a new drive to get more MIP partici pants. It is distributing to member firms a new MIP kit, explaining the methods of MIP with sample displays and sample newspaper adver tisements. The kit includes a pamphlet listing the 50 stocks most popular with MIP inves tors, giving their price, divi dends,' yields and year annual dividends began.

Medford, Oregon Under the new system which went into effect this week when the ambassadors of Lebanon and the Soviet Union made their first calls at the White House, a heavy jolt of color and ceremony has been added. New ambassadors move in a big White House limousine behind a thundering escort of motorcycle police. Waiting in tne driveway outside the President's offices to greet the envoy as he arrives are the naval aide, Capt. E. P. Aurand, and Robert Gray, the appointment secretary to the President. They escort the visitor through the lobby in arm-inarm ceremony and the same process is repeated when the ambassador leaves. With the weather in Wash ington below the 20 mark in recent days, the Secret Serv ice and the White House po lice have been engaged in a rathr unusual winter program for this part of the country swimming. It is all part of a physical fitness program ordered y the Treasurer. The police and the agents are in the midst of a strenuous swimming pro gram, but they're not in dan ger of freezing. They use the President's pool in the White House where the water is heated to summery temperatures. Weather forecasters In South Georgia are on the spot today as the President flies to Thomasville for a vacation on the plantation of former Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey. The weather down there has been cold and what the President wants to hear is that things will warm up in a hurry, and certainly no later than Friday. the only Kibbled with 6 FLAVORS, 6 COLORS I meat, liver, milk, fish', vegetable, chicken only Kibbled that's slow-baked for quicker mixing with liquids. only Kibbled that's kennel-tested for complete nutrition. ;i Buy Friskies 'Kibbled today-it's another complete . dog food from (arnatjon '''m.
