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

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."

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
