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

kiyou County Lumber mani
ofacwtrers association that he
recommend to the secretary

Thj lumbermen had asked
that interstate salt be pro

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.

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. She would

campaign against waste of
water by citizens generally,
replant our forests to hold
back the water, and step up
the program ' Jor converting
salt water to fresh.
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

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. '
