MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or., Wednesday, January 14, 1959 3 Gastro Calls Temporary IHIalt To ExeGiatBoros Reappraisal of Klamath Timber Shows Reduction Portland-fllPB-Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said to day a reappraisal of timber on the Klamath Indian reser vation showed a reduction in its estimated value which would affect the amount paid to withdrawing tribal mem bers. The reappraisal was order ed in the Klamath termination act. Neuberger said it re duced value of pine timber on the reservation from $118, 000,000 to $89,486,358. The reduction would cut by about $13,000 the amount of payment to each withdrawing member of the tribe. Plans Hearings Neuberger said he planned to hold Senate Indian affairs sub-committee hearings in Washington, D.C. in March on the accuracy of the reap praisal. If private firms do not pur chase the timber, the govern- LIVE A LITTLE!

The new gymnasium is expected to be complete by the end of next week. There were seven new stu dents admitted to classes since Jan. 1, bringing the to tal enrollment to 291. At a student body meeting last Wednesday, names for the school's athletic teams were suggested, and on Fri day a committee, composed of faculty members, selected the name" "Wilson Warriors." The name was submitted by Phillip Frohnmayer. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cara- ment is committed to buy it. Neuberger said that under the lower appraisal figure each Klamath Indian who chooses to withdraw would receive about $45,000. "The lower appraisal re cently made may reflect the fact that a declining market for lumber in residential hous ing construction has had a tendency to diminish timber values all over the North west," Neuberger said. "In fairness to the taxpayers the Indians should receive only the actual value of the re sources of their reservation. In fairness to the Indians the full value of those resources must be paid to Klamath tribal members." Three Firms Chosen . The reappraisal was made by three firms chosen by sec retaries of interior and agri culture. They are Harmon, Jensen & Wallen, Oakland, Calif.; Bigley & Feiss, Eu gene, and Marshall & Stevens, Los Angeles. The Oregon firm placed the lowest estimate on the value, Neuberger said. han of Eureka, Calif., were Christmas dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hageman, Grand ave.

Construction Industry Set To Surpass Mark NewYork-(DPD-The construc tion industry rode out the 1958 recession well and now is set to surpass the $50 bil lion mark in 1959 for the first time ever. New construction in 1958 rose two to three per cent above the $48.5 billion o f 1957 and a greater year-to year gain is expected in 1959. Current estimates indicate an additional $20 billion will be spent on modernizing, re modeling, maintaining and re pairing existing structures, bringing the total construct ion outlay for 1959 to more than $70 billion. The increase in 1959 will be part inflation and part in physical volume, with the lat ter exceeding the 1958 rec ord, according to the Com merce and Labor Depart ments. Based on Factors The optimism for the con struction industry is based on a number of factors, among them the continuing improve ment in general business con ditions, a steady rise in recent months of additional home mortgage insurance authori zation for the FHA and the general belief that institution al and public works building will run at a high level. Then, there is the report from Engineering News-Record that the flow into the heavy construction backlog work in the planning stage picked up in the latter part of 1958 and now is more than $113 billion, as against $111, 480,000,000 at the end of 1957. Dark spots in the ' picture are few. There is a possibility that improved business con ditions will force the govern- BOOST MEAT SUPPLY London- (UPD -Livestock ex pert Dr. John Hammond says Britain may be able to beef up its meat supply by pro ducing more twin calves. Hammond has asked the Agri culture Ministry for a re search grant to expand his experiments aimed at produc ing twins from cows by hor mone injections. ment to follow more of a "go slow" policy in stimulat ing housing and related build ing. A further tightening of money by the Federal Reserve would make it more difficult to obtain mortgage money, and rising construction costs could adversely affect some building work. Public construction in 1959 is expected to account for $2.- billion of the projected $3.5 billion rise in total new construction, the Commerce and Labor Departments re ported. Housing will account for most of the remainder of the gain. To Spark Rise The road building program and increased school construc tion will spark the rise in public building. Capital spend ing for highways is expected to reach $7.1 billion in 1959, compared with $6.2 billion in 1958. Housing starts are expected to hold at the 1958 level of about 1,160,000 units, with no significant upturn expected until after 1960 when the marriage and birth rates be gin to rise. gin to rise again. The decline i n Industrial construction in 1958 is ex pected to extend into 1959, but the recovery in general business could result in larg er expenditures in this cate gory. Office building may be ap proaching a saturation point, according to the experts, but store building may recover from the moderate decline of 1958.

In an apparent bow to pub lic criticism abroad the presi dential palace announced the government would halt mass trials and executions until new regulations are fully cir culated to the rebel courts. It invited full press coverage when the trials are resumed. The Cuban people appeared fully in agreement with the revolutionary justice that has taken more than 200 lives. Rebel leader Fidel Castro and Foreign Minister Roberto Ag ramonte issued statements de fending rebel action thus far. No date was fixed for re sumption of the revolutionary justice which was halted throughout the island late Tuesday after a reported 200 persons had been executed by rebel firing squads. Addition al thousands still face trial. Acknowledge Criticism . A presidential palace spokesman announced after a telephone conference between President Emanuel Urrutia and Castro early , today that domestic and foreign news men, photographers and movie cameramen would be invited to witness the trials from start to execution. And in apparent acknowl edgment of foreign criticism, the spokesman said foreign newsmen would be allowed to interview accused persons and their families as well as the accusers. The palace source did not say whether future trials would be conducted by rebel officers and militia as in the past. There has been talk that government officials would prefer restoration of civilian courts for further trials. Argamonte said all those executed thus far have been members of ex-President Ful gencio Batista's army though numerous civilians have been jailed for being informers. Castro, in a statement Tues day afternoon, insisted on the need for punishing those he said were responsible for 20, 000 cases of torture and kill ings during Batista's six-year tenure. Defends Executions Agramonte also defended the executions and said the executions by firing - squads were carried out only when persons were found guilty by a military tribunal and con demned to death. He said such deaths were far more humane than the barbaric treatment accorded revolutionary sold iers' captured by Batista men. Other developments: -Rebel Pvt. Robert Perez, accused of the mistaken iden tity slaying of Havana Uni versityt Prof. Rafael Escolina, was arrested and Castro said he would handle the investi gation personally. -Castro met at midnight with leaders of the rival Revo lutionary Directorate to dis cuss the Directorate's views on the future course of gov ernment. The Directorate de nied it had been disbanded but said its troops had been demobilized. ; : Jayne Mansfield, Husband Honored Hollywood - UPD - Actress Jayne Mansfield and her hus band Mickey Hargitay were honored on their first wed ding anniversary Tuesday night by the Eastside Boys club.
