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-

GRANDVIEW
Cafeteria Completed
Br LILLIAN KNIGHT
Grandview - Wilson school
cafeteria has been completed
and hot lunches were served
Wednesday, Jan: 7. 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.

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-

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.

Bow To Public
Criticism Abroad
Cited as Reason
Havana - (UPD The revolu
tionary Cuban government
announced today it was only
interrupting and not end
ing the wave of executions
of Batista men accused of
murdering up to 20,000 rebel
sympathizers during the past
six years.
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.
