Equolizing Timber Taxes Tackled by State Commission Salem (UPI) The State Tax Commission, acting as a State Board of Equalization, started hearings Monday on problems of equalizing tim ber taxes among the counties. Testimony was taken from Benton County Assessor Rich ard Wegener and County Equalization Board Member E. E. Larkin. Othjpr state- ments were read into the rec- ord. ' Several Oregon counties have changed timber valua- 'Otions set by the valuation di- vision ofCJhe State Tax Com- i 1 1 i - mission ana tne neanngs are 0 designed to find out why the R changes were made and Uwhether they fulfill the legal requirement of uniformity. Wegener told the Commis sion he based his lues on recommendations of the Tax Commission although he felt they were a little high in to day's - declining lumber market. The County Board of Equa lization then cut the values about 30 per cent and upped a suggested 14-year depletion schedule for bid growth tim ber to 20 years. Lacin said he thought valuations provided . by the Tax Commission were too Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible.

Could Spark War To the Editor: The prob lems of a beautiful little coun try half around the world af fects the lives of Oregonians. In Lebanon, a country slightly larger than Jackson county with 1,400,000 papula tion, an unrest has been brew ing for 40 days, which, if un arrested, could spark a war in the Middle East and from there engulf the world. Whether the civil war was inspired by the Arab, the Communist or the Western world, or by internal conflicts, there is the threat that the United States might be called upon to fulfill the intentions of the Eisenhower Doctrine and intervene with, military force. Instead, the good offices of the United Nations averted such action. : The Lebanon government was threatened by armed op position, when its 70 year old president, Chamoun, prepared to change the constitution in order to permit himself an other six - year term. This move united- all opposition .groups the anti - Western, the moderates, - friendly to both East and West, and the partisans, whose deepest loy alties were to the Arab world and to Nasser's newly estab lished United Arab Republic. iThis latter group was accused of getting arms and help from across the Lebanese - Syrian sborder. I Charles Malik, the Leban ese United Nations representa tive, requested help- to protect the borders. The United Na tions Security Council author ized observers and Dag Ham mersk jold, United Nations sec ; retary general, went to Leban on. He talked with President Chamoun and dispersed the 100 observes (from nine coun tries) along the Lebanese bor der sending them out in pairs of white United Nations jeeps to "see Jid hear." . l How such small unarmed patrols were expected to stop .infiltration was explained by Ecuador's ex-President Lasso, now UnitedNations supervis ory commissioner. . '- "Our way is the moral way," he said, "we hope to stop infiltration by bringing it ,to international attention." high and might jeopardize the sustained yield program. He also thought the 14-year de pletion schedule for old growth timber to 20 years. Larkin said he thought val uations provided by the Tax Commission were, too high and might jeopardize the sustained yield program. He also thought the 14-year de pletion schedule was too short, especially for big oper ators who plan for longer periods of time. Larkin said timber owners had convinced him that valu ation of their product should be lower due to the slump in the timber market. The hearings will resume Wednesday with Coos and Douglas county representa times appearing. The hearings will resume Wednesday with Coos and Douglas county representa tives appearing. Representatives of Lane county, whose board cut valu ation division recommenda tions by about 68 per cent, will be heard Thursday. Tillamook county, which re cently accepted Tax Commis sion figures, also may send representatives to testify later. Peacemaker Hammerskjold conferred with Nasser in Cairo. He. brought back an "optimistic" report to the United Nations. If Nasser's United Arab Re public is responsible for infil tration, past events give us reason to believe he will yield to United Nations patrols, and be disciplined by United Na tions directed international opinion, Nasser did accept the United Nations Peace Force, the first peace army ever to be used, which did succeed in pacifying the Suez conflict. He cooperates with the United Nations - Patrol preventing open conflict on the Egypt Israeli border at Gaza. - For the time - being, the United States accepts the United i Nations action al though Secretary Dulles told a press conference that there are other possible moves for the United States in the Leb anese crisis. I am certain those possibilities do not include moving in the 3,000 Marines of the Sixth Fleet, or sending in G.I.s, all of which seems rather extravagant use of force by a country of tremen dous power when the world has come to respect the ,tact, courage, f orebearance and foresight of United Nation peace action. .
