Somers, Medford, USPS Starts Spray Operations to Rid Trees of Budworm Portland Spraying opera tions which will cover ap proximately 820,000 acres of forest land in eastern Oregon were started by the forest service Monday. Object of the operation, which will be carried on by 14. planes flying from John Day and Baker, is control of the spruce budworm, -one of the forests' most deadly insect enemies, according to Benton Howard of the forest service, project director. The budworm has been present in the area for sev eral years but officials thought that "mother nature" would control the infestation in , 1955 and 1956, Howard said.. However, a survey in 1957 showed the infestation had enlarged in extent and in-, tensity-to the point where it was felt definite control must be achieves in 1958. 3.4 Bililon Board Feet At stake in the infested area are an estimated 3.4 billion board feet of timber having a log selling value of about $20 million and a lumber value of approximately $242 million. The major control area is on the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa - Whitman National Forests but some state and private lands also are effect ed. Cooperating with the forr est service are private land owners, timber companies, the state of Oregon, the bureau of land management, and the Northwest Forest Pest "Action Council. " 'Strict control of the flying is being exercised to minimize the concentration of DDT on all streams and lakes," How ard emphasized. He noted that control of -spraying and; pre- j cautionary measures were dis cussed in detail with experts of the Oregon Game commis sion, Fish commission, and the Fish and Wildlife service. Seven PBY's ? Seven of the spraying planes are PBY's, used for the first time over the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Each of these planes has a capacity for 1,200 gallons of spray mix; ture. In addition, one C-39 with the same capacity, and six Stearman planes capable of ' carrying 130 gallons of spray mixture each will be used. Assisting Howard . will be John M; Whiteside of the Pa cific Northwest Forest and R a n g e Experiment - station, technical advisor; Joseph Gjertson, unit supervisor at John Day; and James J. Ralph, unit supervisor at Baker. Cost distribution will be the same as established under for mer projects; the public land owners finance the operation on their own lands and on pri vate lands the state and pri vate landowners each contrib ute 37.5 per cent and the Fed eral government pays the re maining 25 per cent.

French Assembly May Challenge De Gaulle Power Paris (UPI) France's sup posedly dormant National As sembly showed signs today of challenging the authority of Gen. Charles de Gaulle. Angry and resentful depu ties, irritated by the soldier Premier's order forbidding cabinet members to appear be fore , parliamentary commit tees, even talked " of calling the Assembly back into spe cial session to cross-examine De Gaulle on his government policies. Such an extreme . . move, which in effect would cancel the mandate given De Gaulle to run the country without interference from Parliament, seemed highly unlikely Although the deputies agreed to take a six-month vacation when they voted De Gaulle extraordinary pow ers on June 1, a demand from one-third of the Chamber's 595 members could result in a special session being sum moned. Despite the vacation, parlia mentary committees continue to meet. Last week several Announcing .
