TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Thursday February 20, 1958
House Group Adds
$651,000 To Budget
Of Forest Service
Washington The Demo
cratic members of the Oregon
Delegation have announced
that the House Appropriations
committee has added $651,000
to the Forest Service budget
for timber access roads, $500,
000 for personnel housing at
ranger stations, and $293,000
for forest research. The over
all project will provide $93,
180,000 for forest protection
and utilization and $23,750,
000 for timber access roads,
$12,128,000 for forest research
and $12,195,000 for state and
private forestry cooperation.
Congressmen Charles Por
ter and Al Ullman testified at
length before the appropri
ations committee in favor of
these increases and Senators
Wayne Morse and Richard
Neuberger presented state
ments urging the same action.
Not Warranted
In reporting the Bill the
house committee said that
under normal conditions high
er expenditures would be jus
tified, but except for the in
creases authorized they were
not warranted in the light of
the current defense situation.
The Forest Service programs
were virtually the only ones
increased by the appropria
tions committee. The solid and
coordinated support that the
delegation showed was of
great value in securing these
vital increases. The Oregon
senators announced that as
welcome as was the action by
the house, a strenuous effort
will be made to secure in
creased recognition of these
programs in the Senate. They
believe that the access roads
are vital to insuring that when
the lumber market picks up
the industry is not forced to
pay excessive prices for tim
ber because of an artificial
shortage due to the lack of
roads. The Forest Service
housing program should be
expanded to aid the building
industry which is suffering
from the Administration's
tight money policy, they add
ed. In addition the Senators
stated that "operation out
doors" is now $7 million be
hind the schedule set forth
by the Administration only
last year. In view of wide
spread unemployment, an ex
pansion of this program which
will provide for the construc
tion of new campgrounds is
needed.
This is the fourth consecu
tive year that the Democratic
members of the delegation
have testified before the
House Appropriations Com
mittee and this action has in
sured proper recognition of
the Forest Service programs
which are so vital to Oregon's
economy growth.

Portland To Seek
Advice on Mural
Portland Voters
Portland (TO The Port
land City Council voted unan
imously Wednesday to put a
proposal for municipal own
ership of Portland's mass
transit system up to the voters
on the May 16 election ballot.
Several speakers objected
to various phases of the pro
posed charter amendment set
ting up a transit department.
But the council appeared to
agree with Commissioner Wil
liam A. Bowes, who asked:
"What else could we do?"
Members of the Street Car
Men's Union objected because
the measure failed to contain
written-in guarantees of col
lective bargaining and pen
sion rights.
Permit Expires Soon
The operating permit of the
Rose City Transit company is
due to expire July 5. Negoti
ations between the . company
and the city for its renewal
have not been started.
The charter amendment
would authorize a $7 million
general obligation bond issue
outside constitutional - limita
tions. It also would provide
a special tax levy of not to
exceed two mills on each dol
lar o fassessed valuation, or
$1,500,000, whichever proved
lesser for each of the next 10
years.
For the first two years, bus
fares would be fixed under
terms of the act at a maxi
mum of 20 cents a ride.
Rose City Transit recently
won a fare increase from 20
cents a ride to 25 cents, or
two rides for 45 cents.

mine early today and trapped
179 men underground. -
Another 17 miners were re

Fate of the 179 trapped

be heavy despite heroic res

Indian heat.
Flames and thick smoke
swirled through the tunnels
of the Chinakur mine and
made it almost impossible for
rescue squads .to move
through the twisting and clut
tered shafts.

The vessels also carried the

straighened out.
Oil shares have had tough
sledding from time to time in
the stock market because the
earnings outlook for them has
been impaired a bit.
But the financial district
has been sounding some warn
ings about becoming too
bearish "about a business so
essential to the world econ
omy, even though the earn
ings outlook is anything but
reassuring."
Some of the market ana-
lysts have been suggesting
purchases of oil shares on
market declines.
Crude oil prices actually
have been holding fairly well,
according to market men,
There have "been some cuts
but they have been restricted
to limited areas.
According to W. I. La Tour-
ette, analyst for Shearson,
Hammill & Co., "If end-product
inventories continue to
increase and e n d-p roduct
prices decline further there
will be considerable pressure
to reduce crude prices on an
over-all basis.
Level To Hold
"Despite the discouraging
short runs statistical picture
heavy inventories, flattening
demand and still heavy im
ports it would appear better
than an even bet that the
present crude oil price level
will be maintained.
"The oil industry seems
well aware of the fact that a
general , cut in crude prices
woujd more likely aggravate
present problems rather than
help cure them. It is interest
ing to note that there has
been no general cut in crude
oil prices in nearly 20 years."
La Tourette believes that
within the next several years
the oil industry will "resume
its excellent long-term trend
of growth, that oil reserves
again will be widely sought
a shedges against inflation and
that oil stocks will regain
their previous high v invest
ment ranking."

"The storm and cold has

in the zoo than any other
