Huge Lumber Fire
Under Control
Seattle, Wash. (IP) A
spectacular fire feeding on
more than seven million board
feet of cedar was brought un
der control early today after
causing damage estimated un
officially at about 2 million
dollars.
Damage to lumber alone
was estimated at $900,000.
The blaze at the Seattle Cedar
Lumber Manufacturing com
pany, one of the world's larg
est cedar mills, also destroyed
a machine shop, a dry kiln
building and a small factory
adjacent to the mill.
Two persons suffered minor
burns in fighting the blaze.
"It was one of the worst
fires I've seen in 47 years
service with the Seattle fire
department," said Fire Chief

Indonesia Rebels
Otfer Meeting
To Settle Strife
Jakarta, Indonesia ? (IP)
The Indonesian revolutionary
government announced to
night it was "willing to ne
gotiate" with the central gov
ernment in Jakarta for a
"reasonable solution" to the
Indonesia crisis.
The announcement was
made by Col. Ventje Sumual,
commander of the rebel forc
es in the North Cebeles, in
a rebel Radio Menado broad
cast monitored in Manila.'
The announcement did not
state what the rebel terms for
negotiations would be.
But it said the revolution
ary government was willing
to negotiate "for the unity of
the whole nation."
The announcement came in
the wake of reports that In
donesian central government
forces had recaptured the big
rebel air base at Morotai and
occupied Gorontalo, second
largest town in the North
Celebes.

It happened in the wink of
an eye Tuesday the collision
of a Maryland Air National
Guard T33 jet with a Capital

weather at about 8,000 feet.
The sole survivor was Capt.
Julius R. McCoy, the jet pilot,
from the Maryland National

Baltimore. He miraculously
escaped death when he was
blown from his plane after
the collision and parachuted

treated for burns, McCoy told
questioners he "never saw"
the Viscount. His last memory
was of being at 8,000 feet

Methods of Fish Passage Research Are Reviewed
"Cautious optimism" about
research to find methods of
upstream and down stream
passage of migrating fish over
dams has been reported to
Congressman Charles. O. Por
ter by Ross Leffier, assistant
secretary of the interior.
Porter had requested infor
mation concerning fish es
capements in connection with
various reclamation programs,
including , several in south
western Oregon among them
the Rogue River Basin
project.
Leffier said the Fish and
Wildlife Service is actively
engaged in extensive research.
The problem concerns passage
of adult salmon upstream
dams to spawning grounds
and the passage of juvenile
salmon downstream.

Proposed Freight
Rate Reductions
Suspended by ICC
Commission to Study
Reductions Proposed
The Interstate Commerce
commission yesterday sus
pended proposed freight rate
reductions by Southern Pacific
between Oregon and Califor
nia according to United Press
reports from Washington, D.C.
The suspension was ordered
until Dec. 20, this year, so the
commission can investigate the
proposed reductions, UP said.
The reduced rates would have
gone into effect at midnight
last night.
The action by the ICC came
after division two of the ICC
suspended the proposed reduc
tion. Earlier, the ICC's suspen
sion committe, which is com
posed of five men, approved
Southern Pacific's new re
duced rates. Division two of
the ICC is composed of three
men.
Division two's suspension
followed an appeal by barge
lines and truckers in Califor
nia and Oregon. The appeal
was made on the decision of
the suspension committee.
Seek Reconsideration
The Southern Oregon Con
servation and Tree Farm asso
ciation and the Willamette
Valley Lumbermen's associa
tion asked the commission to
reconsider the matter imme
diately after its action yester
day. The ICC rejected recon
sidering it.
The railroads had proposed
the rate reductions on large
quantity lumber shipments
from Oregon to southern Cali
fornia markets. The reduc
tions would have put Oregon
producers on an equal basis
with northern California ship
pers as far as freight rates are
concerned, officials said.
The suspension of rate re
ductions is good for seven
months, unless the ICC acts to
lift the suspension before that
time has expired. If the ICC
fails to act, the railroad can
put lower rates into effect
after the seven-month period,
an ICC spokesman said.
Highway 230 to
Diamond Lake Open
The Diamond lake cut-off,
State Highway 230, connect
ing Highways 62 and 97, was
officially open for traffic at
9 a.m. today, according to
state police.
The route has been closed
for the winter Police said
snow drifts of more than six
feet are along the road side
and two feet of snow is at the
south edge of the lake. -
Parking space at the lake

Titan Launching
Site Announced
Washington (IP) The Air
Force announced today that
the first launching site for the
Titan intercontinental ballistic
missile will be located near
Denver.
It said the site-for the 5,500,-mile-range
weapons will be at
Lowry range on land already
owned by the government and
now used for bombing prac

The . Colorado installation
will be the fifth of the nation's
widely dispersed string of
bases from which the ,giant,

"In this structure our biolo
gists and engineers have con
structed models of fishways
with varying structural char
acteristics such as width and
gradient. The purpose of this
research is twofold: First to
increase the efficiency of up
stream fishways, and second,
to make them more econo

studying the hydraulic condi

steeper gradient and narrower
width, which will be fully as

New Army Head
To Offer Peace
To Rebel Generals
Pflimlin Wins New
Victory In Council
Paris (IP) Premier Pierre
Pflimlin will send France's
new army chief to Algeria
with full authority to make
peace with insurgent generals
demanding the return to pow
er of Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
informed sources said today.
Pflimlin won a second vic
tory over Gaullist forces to
day when the council of the
republic upper house approv
ed his request for an exten
sion of emergency powers in
Algeria. Political sources,
however, believed it might be
a short-lived victory, merely
postponing the ultimate
struggle.
"We will accept no one but
De Gaulle," Alain de Serigny
said.
But the mission from Paris
will go through, it was learn
ed. It will be undertaken by
Gen, Henri Lorillot, France's
new chief of fcthe general
staff.
Goals Outlined
The government decided
on the Lorillot mission to
spearhead a new drive to:
Bar De Gaulle from pow
er. Make "peace" with the
insurgent generals in Algeria
who have provided. De Gaul
le's main support.
- Step up the continuing
war against the Moslem reb
els. "
The parliament victory for
Pflimlin's middle of the road
government was the second
defeat in two days inflicted
on De Gaulle in his bid for
power. .
Defeat of Pflimlin's pro
posals in the senate or the
house would have brought
down Pflimlin's government.
It would have precipitated
the crisis in which De Gaulle
and the Communists would
stage their final showdown
struggle for control of France.
Political observers said
this struggle would still come
in the future but that Pflim
lin was safe for the moment.
Indicative of slowly easing
tension, the' French govern
ment announced today that
telegraphic communications
with Algeria, suspended when
the crisis first exploded, will
resume at midnight. All tele
grams must be sent in un
coded French language.

Revise Present Plan
The- commission's represen

the present compensation plan
in terms of the proposed job
classification and generally
brought it into "proper rela

in the area."
A salary survey of local
private industry and . other
public jurisdictions in Oregon
was the survey's basis.
Keating said the commis

implementing the plan also
will be studied.
Results of the job classifi

the court late in April and
employees have been given an
opportunity to protest any
change in job status recom

Both the . classification and

some effect on the 1958-59

is being made this spring of

for down-stream salmon mi
grants. "This is being done at Lakje
Tapps, a power, reservoir of
the Puget Sound Power and
Light company, located on the
White River in the vicinity of
Tacoma, Wash. Here rows of
electrodes 1,000 feet long will
be used. A system of traps for
collecting the guided and un
guided fish will test the effi
ciency of the device."
In summary, Leffier said,
"we recognize that the prob
lem of upstream and down
stream passage, particularly
the latter at -high dams, has
not yet been fully solved.
However, we are cautiously
optimistic that the results of
the various lines of research
indicated . . . will provide the
solution."

Future Bright
For Business,
Ike Broadcasts
To Confer Before
Making Tax Decision
Washington OP) Some
congressional tax experts said
today that, despite hints to
the contrary, they expect
President Eisenhower to stand
firm against any immediate
tax cuts.
They said, however, that
congress probably will insist
on some cuts in excise sales
taxes designed to lower the
cost of living for consumers.
They did not rule out the pos
sibility that the President will
offer a modest tax reduction
program later this year if he
succeeds in warding off any
major tax slashes in the next
critical six weeks.
The President, in a speech
in New York City Tuesday
night, said the administration
"after consulting with con
gressional leaders" will make
"certain decisions . . ; in the
field of taxation."
Sees Good Future
Declaring the recession is
"slowing down," he envision
ed an economy moving -into a
future "bursting with vitality,
and promise." He also urged
business and labor to hold the
line on prices and wages.
"The American people are
going to be looking over the
shoulders of those sitting at
every bargaining table to see
whether the wage settlement
and subsequent - price decis
ions are consistent with a
stable dollar, or whether they
mean another dismal sequence
of ever-rising costs and
prices," Eisenhower declared;
The President said the tim
ing of tax changes poses a
problem and pointed to pos
sibly inflationary effects of a
tax cut. He also noted increas
ing government spending
threatened to increase the fed
eral deficit. He said the tax
decision would be made "in
the light of the latest inform
mation regarding the eco
nomic situation and with a
full evaluation of the probable
short and long range conse
quences." Treasury Secretary Robert
B. Anderson used almost iden
tical language in a speech pre
pared for the Governors' con
ference in Miami, Fla., today.
He said the administration's
decision would be made soon
after consulting congressional
leaders "in the light of the
specifics of our improving
economic situation and reflect
a full evaluation of both the
probable short and long term
consequence s." He also
warned against belief . "any
single and dramatic action"
would bring desirable changes
in the economy.
. Sen. Styles Bridges (R-N.H.)
chairman of the senate GOP
policy committee, told the
United Press "there may be
some adjustments in excise
taxes, on taxes affecting small
business and some technical
changes" , growing from the
administration c o n f e rences
with congressional leaders.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D
111.), renewing his demand for
an immediate income tax cut,
compared the President's
speech to the way "Herbert
Hoover sounded 28 years ago
in the spring of 1930 in assert
ing that "prosperity is just
around the corner'."
