o G 0 o o o o o 0 O 0 Timber Sale Plan Announced by BLM The Miford office of the bureau 8 lnd management has anniaced tat planning ivork for the coming timber sale plan will be starting in the near future. This year, lwever, plan ning will be based on an 18 month period rather than the customary 12-month period. This step is taken to effect the conversion of sales planning from agraleadar year basis to a fiscal year basis. As in the past, priority vill be given to salvage, of e-killed, wind q thrown and beetle-infested s tinker. 19 making th announce ment, the district manager has q inv&eS interestgd companies or individual to submit sili ca gestions of iirfter eo be in clucftg in tt plan, since ona of the cofisidertions in select i tracts is th interest to prospfctivi purchasers.

Yates, supervisor of Klamath Na tional forest, this week reject ed ci request from the Sis- kiyou County Lumber mani ofacwtrers association that he recommend to the secretary of) agric<ur stopping the sal of KltrMth forest timber to Oregoa operators. Thj lumbermen had asked that interstate salt be pro hibited under the federal law providing fo forest timber sales. Yates aid Oregon operators do not take any sizeable amount of timber from the Klamath national forest. He said 92.3 pr cent of the sales over the pasat year have been to California operators. He said that in some cases, lower wages in Oregon might explain low Oregon bids. In mafty cases, he added, bids are run up by competition among California operators as. well as bidders from Oregon. Yates said he didn't think the state boundary "should make any difference. It is a natural forest product belong ing to the people." He suggested more vigor ous competition by local operators. who wish to do so may par ticipate in the bidding for the timber. The plan is prepared initial ly by the district manager and his staff on the basis of the available cut under sustained yield management, the per sonnel available in the dis trict to cruise the timber and administer the sales contracts, sound forest management practices, and interest indicat ed by prospective purchasers. It is then submitted to the district advisory board for consideration and suggestions. The advisory board is com prised of representatives of the lumber industry, labor, agriculture, livestock, mining, recreation, wildlife and the general public. No timber will be adver tised for sale unless the bu reau can assure equal access for all prospective purchasers. The regulations permit the au thorized officer to accept bids for any tract not sold at the specified sale date for a 90 day period, provided there has been no substantial change in the appraised value of the timber. Operators who desire to suggest tracts which they wish to have considered in the next timber sale plan should con tact the district manager's of fice in the city hall, Medford, as soon as possible. The dead line for submitting such sug gestions has, been set as Aug. 15. The approximate volumes which have been budgeted to each forest management area within the district for sale in 1959 and the first half of 1960 calendar years are north Jack son, 74.7 million board feet; south vJackson, 28.6 million board feet; north Josephine, 130 million board feet; south Josephine, 35.2 million board feet, and Klamath, 18.2 mil lion board feet. The total vol ume is 286.7 million board feet. Medford Tribune 2rJ SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY '18, 1958 Pages 1 to 6 LANDING IN LEBANON, U. S.

The atomic material was shipped by urgent air express Wednesday night at the re quest of the Cardinal's physic ian, who said Stepinac was not recovering satisfactorily from a leg operation. The Roman Catholic pri mate of Yugoslavia is a staunch opponent of Marshal Tito and has been living in semivimprisonment for more than 10 years. By ELMER C. WALZER New York UPI What is the most important problem to be faced by the United States in the next 20 years? Not long J ago, the Com W m i 1 1 e e for Economic De- v e x u y in cut used that ion as basis for a etition Elmer Walzer Which result ed in 50 prize winners. One of the prizes went to Mrs. Leona Train Rienow who wrote on "Water-Key to America's Future." She traced our steady in roads into this valuable com modity how we cut down the forests which prevented erosion, and kept back water, how we drained water from the wells put there by cen turies of rainfall, how we used up one source after, an other of water that made our country so great in the past. She told of shortages develop ing and more to come. And she made a reference that fits into the picture in the Middle East. - Could Affect Civilization "It is possible," she said, "that we have learned noth ing from the vanished civili zation of Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq, the center of to day's Middle East problem), Crete (island of the Mediter ranean, once site of the an cient Minoan civilization), Carthage, (once the city of the Phoenicians in North Africa), and Timgad (called the Pompeii of North Africa). The water situation in the United States hasn't reached the stages it has in the Mid dle East. But Mrs. Rienow says it's serious. She intimates that lack of water could end our, civiliza tion just as it did in many an ancient nation. We are using more and nfore water and plan to use a great deal. more. Industry, the No. 1: water user now sucks up 11 times what it did in 1900, Mrs. Rienow says. It uses 110 bil lion gallons a day. It takes 65,000 gallons of water to produce one ton -of steel, or one ton of paper, says Mrs. Rienow. "Textiles, chemicals,' brew eries, power companies, auto mobile manufacturers, oil ire finieries, every industry you can name puts terrific pres sure on our water supplies. Millions Mora Users , "Now the population explo sion three million new wat er users added each year, and every one of them crying for 26 million gallons of water in his lifetime staggers the computators. "So it is that industries are not drawing up gigantic blue prints for future expansion. Paper, for instance, expects to double its water use by 1975. And there are new in dustries based on the use of the atom that will be pushing their buckets at the national trough." She points out there is no substitute for water and hence our only salvation is to conserve it and take steps to hold the rains in reservoirs in stead of letting them drain into salty oceans.

When all' is said and done our best bet is to use nature's own way of keeping the water that comes down in the form of rain. "We must hold as much water as we can at the sources, before it completes its cycle back to the sea. We must again make use of a re newed plant robe; we must seek to recreate the natural swamps, ponds, marshes. We must build humus and prac tice the best we know in ag riculture to rehabilitate a ravished land." Goldfine Tells of White House Trips In Truman Era Washington (UPI) Bern ard Goldfine testified Thurs day that he spent far more time pursuing his business in terests inside the White House during the Truman adminis tration than he has since his good friend, Sherman Adams, entered the scene as chief as sistant to President Eisenhow er. . ' The Boston, textile million aire, winding up eight days of testimony before the House influence : investigating sub committee, said his principal White House contact during the Truman administration was with John R. Steelman, then the assistant to the presi dent. Pursuing Loan Goldfine said he was pursu ing a $12 million loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in 1950 when he was advised, by a banker to "contact" Steelman. He said the contact was made through a disbarred attorney familiar with the Washington scene. Goldfine asked to keep the disbarred attorney's name out of the hearing. He said that as' a result of this "contact," he got to know Steelman well, and after buy ing many lunches and dinners for the Democratic presiden tial assistant, he was able to win RFC approval of the loan. The loan was sought by Goldfine's Motor Park Corp. to build a huge parking area under the Boston Common.. It was approved by the RFC as a commitment, but never went through as an actual loan. Erupts in Rag Earlier, Goldfine erupted in rage when Rep. Peter Mack (D-Ill.) accused him 'of ''dis regard for the law over many years." . - Mack said Goldfine, by his refusal to answer some of the i subcommittee's questions, had done Adams a grave disserv ice. Goldfine replied that he had been "smeared again" by Mack. "If Mr. Mack knew a little bit more about Mr. Goldfine he wouldn't make any such statements," Goldfine said.' "I think it's contemptible and it's unfair. He's done nothing but smear and smear and smear i" The Internal Revenue Ser vice, meanwhile, indicated it was investigating tax records of Goldfine as a result of the hearings. In addition, an official of the Boston IRS regional of fice said he could find no record of a Goldfine tax re-j turn for 1956.
