Al Sarena Case Still Subject Of Discussion on Capital Hill By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington-They are still talking about the Al Sarena case in Congress. That was the contro versy over some mining claims in Rogue River National For est that were patented b y the Eisenhow er administra tion to an Ala- a. Kobe smit bama lirm al ter government experts, said there was no mineral value on the property. . Rep. Mike Kerwin (D-Ohio) raised the issue during recent hearings on the Interior De partment appropriation bill. Questioning Edward Woozley, director of the Bureau . of Land Management, Kirwin asked: "Did they ever discover those minerals that we gave Al Sarena with all that tim ber?" Woozley-I think the min erals were discovered, but whether or not they are op erating is a question. Gold prices are not too conducive to mining, and they have not been since 1934, as you know. Reminds of Story Kirwin-They are not min ing. This reminds me of a story Bob Burns, the come dian, once told about his uncle. It took him three years to chisel a huge boulder out of the mountain overlooking Van Buren. He finally chisel ed it away and the boulder rolled down the mountainside and destroyed every building in its path. They followed the boulder and when they got up to it to examine it carefully, his uncle said: "Just as I thought, no moss." - Kirwin-The same seems to be true of that mineral lease given to Al Sarena. After he removed thousands of dollars worth of timber, he found no (more) minerals. Woozley-The timber is on a national forest? Kirwin-I am glad you men tioned that. It was, but, of course, it is now private land, thanks to the approval of the mineral claim given by the Interior Department. . Uncertainty About Stars There is still uncertainty about how many stars will WRONG CHARGE ' Newark, N.J. - (UPD -Clarence Jones and Eugene Smith were cleared of charges temoprarily Tuesday when each told Essex County Judge Walter Conklin: "I didn't receive stolen goods, your hpnor. I stole them." The new complaint calls it larceny. ' T JACKSONVILLE Library Open House Set By BETTE HOSKINS Jacksonville The public has been invited to attend open house at the Jackson ville library Friday, April 17, from 2 to 5 p.m. The invita tion was extended this week by committee members Mrs A.

Hanna who was the first librarian for the first branch of the Jackson county library here in the spring of 1921 and the first patron to be issued a library card at this library. Mrs. Hanna was also instru mental, with the coperation of other board members, in arranging for the famous J. A. Brunner building as a site for the present location of na tive daughters, to whom the building belonged. Mrs. Han na presented it to the city in 1956, where the library is now established, having been reopened on June 1, 1956. The building has been redec orated in the Centennial theme for this event, during National Library week and the citywide fix up campaign now underway. Committee members ex pressed appreciation for the supervision of Mr. Raapke of Dempster's furniture store in decoration planning. A Clare mont wall paper pattern was used. Mrs. Hanna and Miss Claire Hartley will pour at the gathering.

As of now the only thing official is that President Ei senhower has decreed (back on Jan. 3) that the 49-star flag shall become official on July 4, to cover the admission of Alaska as the 49th state. But since then Hawaii has gone most of the way to be coming a state. She still must hold her elections, part of which involves a referendum on the question of whether Hawaiians want to join the Union. After the elections have been certified, the presi dent can. issue a proclamation admitting Hawaii. The law says the number of stars In the flag is to change on the Fourth of July following the admission of a new state. That means, as of now, the 50th star would be added to the flag officially on July 4, 1960. Procedure Short-Cut Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D Wash.) has put in a bill to short-cut these procedures for j Hawaii, so that after the pri- j mary election she can be cer tified for inclusion in the flag that becomes official this July 4. Alaskan senators protested this, however, because they think Alaska should have its hour of glory for a year be fore the 50-star flag takes over. " Now it looks like Jackson's plan is down the drain be cause the primary in Hawaii ; is expected to come on June 27, which would be too late to handle all the red tape before July 4. But a New York congress man, Alfred Santangelo, has put in a new bill to make it 50 stars this year regardless of when Hawaii comes in. Alaskans are protesting this one as vigorously as the other. Moral: Wait a few weeks more before buying that new flag. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, ThuwAy, April 16, 1959 Act Curbing Benson Power Faces Veto Washington -(DPD- President Eisenhower is expected to veto a bill to strip Agricul ture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son of his authority over Rural Electrification Admin istration loans. By a vote of 254 to 131, the House Wednesday sent the controversial Senate - approv ed measure to the White House despite Republican warnings that it was sure to provoke Eisenhower's disap proval. The margin of House ap proval, plus the 60-27 vote by which the bill cleared the Senate last week, raised the possibility that Congress for the first time could muster sufficient votes to over-ride a veto should it come.

Brokers guided the Rus sians, here to inspect British industry, through the ex change and explained the sell ing and buying. But the only real interest the Soviet citizens expressed was when broker Ted Bailleu mentioned that pre-Bolshevik Revolution Russian bonds still were bought and sold on the exchange. Russian Zoja Moursaneva politely inquired if the Czar ist bonds were really bought and paid for in real money. Bailleu said yes. The Russians looked at each other and smiled. - lucky Loqr Brewing Co..
