Showdown Planned Friday On Deportation of Finlander San Francisco OP) Feder al Judge Edward P. Murphy called for a showdown next Friday on the now celebrated case of ex-Communist William Heikkila and his week-long deportation by the Immigra tion Service. Murphy will tackle both fides of the thorny situation during Friday's session. He told District Immigra tion Director Bruce Barber and Assistant Director Stan ley Olson Friday he had no recourse but to demand they show cause why they should not be held in civil contempt for deporting Heikkila while an appearance was still pend ing. Back From Helsinki At the same time, the judge will consider Heikkila's re quest that Murphy change his judicial order of last Jan. 14 which declared Heikkila had reached the end of his legal rope in his 11-year battle against deportation. As Murphy planned the showdown, Heikkila returned to San Francisco after his short visit to Helsinki! Fin land. His arrival was a direct contrast to his departure week earlier when five Immi gration agents grabbed him as he left work and whisked him off to Vancouver, B.C. by plane. As the one-armed, 52-year-old draftsman came down the ramp from a Pan-American plane Friday he was greeted by hordes of newsmen, photo graphers, radio and television personnel, in addition to at torneys, friends, his wife and other relatives. 'Proud' Of Hif Past Heikkila admitted he be longed to the Communist Party from 1929 to 1939, but v' - i i 1 v k 4 h-t ' t J ' ' '"' & 1 1'""' C $ " fiaHJ 'M v rJ V ' "i" f' ' , A DER VOTE for JOHN W. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR John Snider stands squarely for utmost economy and greatest efficiency in State government. He favors legislation fair to BCfTH labor and management; a fair and equitable distribution of the tax burden, and full consideration of the needs of aged citizens and vet 'erans. He advocates development of resources to strengthen Oregon's economy, improvement of high ways and expansion of recreational facilities to en courage payrolls and prosperity. Mr. Snider is qualified to further these objectives in Oregon's Senate through his . . . said he had "no contact' with the party since then. "I am proud of what I have done in the past," he told newsmen. "I am neither pro- Communist nor anti-Commu nist. My ideas are my own "If people don't like what have done, I can't help it." Both sides in the dispute said they welcomed Friday's hearing before Murphy. "That's what we wanted," said Allen Brotaky, an attor ney who met Heikkila at the airport. "It will give us an opportunity to see if some one wilfully broke the order of the court." Barber also approved the action. Wheels Of Justice "I believe this will give the Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service . . . the oppor tunity to establish in the calm atmosphere of the courtroom the true facts . . . that the ar rest of Heikkila in San Fran cisco by officers of this serv ice was carried out in a law ful manner and did not vi olate any of the alien's rights to due process. The judge expressed belief that Barber had "acted in good faith" and had an "admirable record" in his federal post. "Perhaps Barber and hi su pervisors and aides became more than fed up with 11 years of futile effort to deport this man," Murphy added "The wheels of justice, I be lieve, will eventually catch up with Hekkila." 4-H CLUB NEWS Antelope 4-H Club The Antelope 4-H clothing club held a workshop meeting at Jo Anna Malloroy'shome April 19.

Roseburg Area Has Big Labor Surplus Salem The Roseburg area has been classified as having substantial labor sur plus, making it possible for Douglas county firms to be favored in submitting bids ior government jobs, according to word received today by Mrs. Cecelia P.' Galey, chairman of the State Unemployment Compensation commission. This ruling came after a special report was prepared at the request of the Depart ment of Labor. The report showed that total unemploy ment was well above the crit ical 6 per cent level of the area's labor force and this level of joblessness was ex pected to continue at least for the next four months. A similar classification is already in effect in the Portland-Vancouver area and also in the coastal counties of Clatsop, Lincoln, Tillamook, Coos, and Curry. Willamette valley areas which have also been classified as areas of substantial labor surplus are Lane, Linn, Yamhill, and Co lumbia counties.

Inspections of Private Forest Lands Under Way Salem Examination of privately owned forest lands in 10 counties of the state for the purpose of determining their eligibility for classifica tion under the state's defer red forest taxation program as provided under the forest fee and yield tax law is now underway, according to Dar ryl Storm, state forestry de partment official. Storm said that the coun ties involved include Columb ia, Coos, Curry, Lane, Linn, Tillamook, Josephine, Klam ath, Jackson and Multnomah. In order to be included in eligible lands they must con sist of either cutover or oth erwise denuded forest lands or lands carrying an imma ture non-merchantable stand of reproduction. Field men of the depart ment will make an examina tion of all lands proposed for classification and the various owners of approvad tracts will receive official notifica tion at a later date of the public hearings which are to be held in the various coun ties next spring, Storm added. Final Classification Final classification," said Storm, "is in the hands of the state tax commission. Once classified, the lands carry an annual forest fee of 5 cents per acre in- western Oregon and 2Vz cents in eastern Ore gon, with a yield tax of VLVz per cent of the unit value of any products harvested from the land. "It is this deferred tax po sition that offers an induce ment for the private land owner to retain title to his land and engage in tree grow ing. His main tax bill comes due when he is best able to pay. In other words, when the timber is harvested." Storm added that landown ers who are interested in the classification of lands should get in touch with the Salem office of the state forestry de partment or the closest field headquarters. Lists will be closed by Sept. 1. After the opening ceremon ies by the chapter officers, Brian Sewell gave the invo cation.
