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
