Wind, Snow Hinder Efforfs of Fliers Fresno, Calif. w A pre diction of gale winds and heavy snows appeared likely today to block the efforts of two Army fliers to remove the body of a dead pilot from the High Sierra. The fliers, Chief Warrant Officers John Cooney, 35, of Marlboro, Mass., and William J. Williams, 30, of Bingham ton, N. Y., had hoped to go in Tuesday, but a severe storm prevented them. The dead man is Peter Gring, 39, a Santa Barbara, Calif., businessman and social ite. He lost his life a week ago when his helicopter crashed near McClure Meadow at the 9,500-foot level of Sierra National Forest. Cooney and Williams flew their H21 helicopter into a remote area of Yosemite Na tional Forest on Monday and rescued four stranded skiers.

But an even more unusual adjustment,-1 think, has been made by the Lodgepole pine of the Rocky Mountains. This tree has worked out a method for coping with a tree's most deadly enemy the forest fire! In . the mile and a half high Rockies, lightning - set fires are not unusual. To meet this age-old ordeal by fire, this pine has developed a peculiar highly - resinous cone, containing from 10' to 50 seeds, which remains at tached to the tree for up to 75 years and during a fire these cones seal up tightly. Then, after the fire has burned itself out and left be hind it only a bed of black ashes with charred trunks left standing, these half - burned cones, which still adhere to the branches, open, and out cascade a shower of tiny seeds so tiny that if takes 100,000 to weigh a pound. The following year I have found young Lodgepoles al most as thick as grass up wards of 300,000 to the acre. Had this pine not worked out such a fine adaptation, vast areas in the Rockies would today be nothing more than wind - blown plateaus, sending down great freshets of muddy water each spring.

Porter, of Oregon declared today. "By allowing the govern ment airline, MATS, to take away traffic that should be carried by commercial air lines, the Administration has put several commercial air lines out of business and threatens to cut down several more," the Oregon Congress man stated. "As I noted in. my speech on the floor of the House on March 5, the results of this MATS competition with com mercial airlines will be that there will be 14 fever 4 engine commercial planes on hand ready to respond to the country's defense when the whistle blows. I asked the Civil Aeronautics Board how much it would cost this gov ernment to replace these planes that are being sold off (mostly to foreign countries) by companies bankrupted by MATS competition and CAB Chairman James R.

Not at all. Thousands of people with modest incomes have been able to save the down payment, or the whole price, of the home of their dreams because they invested in U. S. Savings Bonds on the Payroll Savings Plan where they work. You, too, can accumulate enough money for the down payment on a home. Of enough for your children's college edu cation or a retirement income. And by saving only a few dollars a week, too. The answer is that you save systematically on the Payroll Savings Plan. AH you have to do is tell your pay office how much you've decided to save each payday (it can .be as little as a couple of dollars). After that your money is saved for you, before you get your salary. Then each time enough has accumulated, it is in vested in a Bond; and the Bond turned over to you. And remember your U. S. Savings Bonds now will bring you an average of 3 interest, compounded semiannually, for 19 years and 8 months. That's why the money you put into Bonds now growl to such a surprisingly big sum. wliy don't you start today? Sign, where you work, for the Payroll Savings Plan.
