Garbage truck driver Noble Ross was jockeying a load worth exactly that for a while Friday. Then sanitation officials, who had been con tacted by Mrs. Edward John son in a frantic telephone call, stopped Ross and recov ered from his load a $10,000 package of diamonds Mrs. Johnson had accidently thrown out the garbage. BLM and Forest Service The proposal currently in the news, which would place administration of O&C forest lands of the bureau of land management under the ad ministration of the forest service, is not a new one. It keeps popping up from time to time. "According to A. Robert Smith, our correspon dent in Washington, the proposal probably will have tough sledding, for the reason that Fred Seaton, secretary of the interior, is opposed to it. (The BLM is part of the interior department; the forest service is part of the department of agriculture.) -"THERE are valid arguments on both sides of the proposal. One of the state's best-informed men on the subject is Charles A. Sprague, who as an editor, as a former governor of the state, and as a mem ber of the O&C advisory committee, has been closely informed on the problems of the BLM in Oregon for many years. He concludes that: ". . . The gains from BLM's Intensive management outweigh possible savings in overhead. However, good forestry will prevail whether the merger is made or not, because of the public demand for it." He is undoubtedly correct in that conclusion. But some heated arguments can be generated about the proposal, just the same. TOR instance, the BLM sells timber on a cruise basis that is, BLM foresters mark the trees to.be cut, and set a price for them as they stand. The forest service sells on a scale basis or an actual measurement of the board feet of lumber as the logs come out of the forest by-truck. Some loggers prefer one method; some an other. And in any meeting of lumbermen it's possible to stir up a discussion over the merits or demerits of each. Another factor, probably even more impor tant to the smaller lumber operator, is the fact that most national forest land is in fairly large blocks, while O&C lands- are to a large extent scattered in "intermingled" ownerships, many of them in fairly small plots. As a result the BLM tends to offer a larger percentage of smaller sales than the forest service sales which the small logger can afford to bid on. D'OTH agencies, as Governor Sprague points out, are dedicated to good forest management and silviculture, and both, as they gain experience and are provided with necessary funds, are doing an increasingly good job. Because of the patterns of ownership, the for est service has worked out its system of ranger districts, with men living in the area where they work, while BLM personnel usually is concen trated in the immediate area of the district office, driving out to the field when necessary. The forest service is dedicated to multiple- purpose use of the forests. The BLM, a more recent comer to the field of forest management, only now is working more and more toward this ideal, Jbutdoes not have same job in some fields, the forest service does. NE principal reason why the proposal will meet opposition, particularly in the 18 O&C counties of western Oregon, is the fact that while both agencies turn part over to the counties, they do it under different formulas. , Revenue from O&C lands goes to the coun ties in which they are located on a basis of 75 per cent to the counties, 25 per cent to the federal government. (In recent years, the counties have allocated one third of their 75 per cent to con struction of access roads and reforestation. The remaining portion has no strings to it, as to how counties may use it.) Revenue from forest service lands go 25 per cent to the counties and 75 per cent to the federal government The counties' portion must be used for school and road purposes. ,, ' rNE can readily see, therefore, why the O&C w counties would fight any proposal which threatened the substantial source of income which sents, in Jackson county, for instance, it is the O&C revenues which have made the levying of a tax for county purposes unnecessary recently. An administrative U&u lands under forest service administration, would not affect the distribution formula, for that is provided by law. However, it misrht lead Congress to reconsider the formula something that gives O&C county officials the shakes just to tnuiK about. In addition, it would create a major disruption in the BLM office here, for the Medford district office devotes a major part of its activities to O&C lands, less to other BLM responsibilities. It would also cause an upheaval in the administra tion of the Rogue River and Siskiyou National forests, which would be faced with a tremendous ly increased job virtually overnight. S NEARLY as we can has yet been made Iished in an upstate newspaper that the proposal has "already gained official sanction and will be instituted as of June 1, 1959." This rumor, almost certainly, is wrong, for such a reorganization plan must oe suomitted to Congress 60 days before becoming effective. If it wishes, Congress can veto the suggestion within that period of time. If it is to be done this year, it will have to be done soon, because of the 60-day limitation. Because of the controversial aspects of the plan, we will be somewhat surprised if it is under taken, soon, anyway.

Walter m."v- Lippmann pies are that the next budget shall be bal anced approximately and that this shall be done not by raising taxes but by holding down military and civilian expenditures. For the time be ing the battle the President is waging against inflation is going reasonably well, in that the price level is on the whole standing still. Nevertheless, the news from the. money markets gives little support to the idea that the battle against infla tion is being won. The Treas ury is having to pay very high rates for very short term money. The long term bond market is depressed while stocks and . real estate are booming. . rpHESE are the classic signs of inflation, that is to say, of a lack of confidence that money will conserve its pur chasing power. When there is this lack of confidence, peo ple prefer to own tangible goods, as they do when they buy equity shares, to having what are promises to pay dol lars in the future. The behavior of the mar kets reflects the judgments of the great investing institu tions with their expert ad visors. These markets are, therefore, a kind of running Gallup Poll in which those who are questioned back their opinions with their mon ey. They are saying that they expect a continuing inflation, whether or not the President wins his fight in this Congress about this particular budget. IlfHEN we ask ourselves what is the basis of this pessimism, we must begin by remembering that there is no precise answer to this ques tion. We are dealing with a situation where a preponder ant majority of investors not only in this country but also abroad have come to the same practical conclusion, though not necessarily for the same reasons. The same conclusion they have come to is quite evi dently that in the battle against inflation the Presi dent has not produced a pol icy that is good for more than the next budget. He has no policy which is good for a much longer future. It may be' that the 1960 budget can be made to balance, though even this takes a certain amount of finesse in the bookkeeping. But if this par ticular budget is balanced, it will be done not by reducing expenditures, but by postpon ing them. Editorial Comment PROFIT VS. OBLIGATION This week the Southern Pacific succeeded in convinc ing the interstate commerce commission that it could not afford to run its Shasta Day light more than three timefe a week except during the sum mer months and the Christmas holidays. One day after this an nouncement was forthcoming, D. J. Russell, president of the SP, told stockholders of the railroad that the system had a net income of $2.01 per share Menace Lippmann IF WE look at our national commitments, it is unfor tunately all too probable that our position as a whole is go ing to be out of balance for years to come. Cur national commitments are for defense, for internal development, for welfare and public facilities Lined up against these com mitments we also have com mitments to the farmers and to the veterans and to the tax payers, who are expecting a tax reduction. Some mighty political battles will be fought to bring these conflicting commitments into balance. There is no reason what ever to think that we shall be able to spend less on defense, On the contrary, almost sure ly we shall feel compelled to spend more. In the field of civilian expenditures, there must be a substantial increase over the present level unless by some unlikely miracle the huge agricultural subsidies can be done away with or at least drastically reduced. It is virtually certain that the pub lic money spent for public fa cilities will rise steeply in the years to come. The growth of our popula tion is one reason why these expenditures must rise. The growing concentration of our growing population in big ci ties is another reason why the expenditures must rise. More over, owing to the World War and the Korean war there is a big backlog of nec essary public expenditures for schools, hospitals, and many kinds of projects to con serve and develop our na tural resources. If a third world war is averted, as prob ably it can be, we can count it for certain that the decade of the sixties will see a move ment, comparable with the New Deal of the thirties, to modernize the public facili ties of this country. T3E PROSPECTS in defense and in internal civilian improvements make it Virtu ally certain that with our present tax structure and our normal rate of growth, there will be a heavy pressure against the balance of the budget. A consideration of these realities may account in considerable measure for the pessimism of the money mar kets. Is there a remedy? Certain ly there is no simple and easy one. What must come first, however, is to stop pretend ing that the 1960 budget is a genuine and adequate answer to the problem of inflation, Then we have to begin defin ing and posing the real ques tions which will confront us. They arrive from the fact that in order to balance the budget against the rising expendi tures which are inevitable, we must brace ourselves to the grim, the politically un touchable and unspeakable truth that we shall have td raise more taxes.

Phoenix- Tal ent school consolidation, ver sus the districts remaining as they are: The following is a quote in part from a letter received from Alf B. Mekvold, County School. Superintendent, of May 12, 1959, in response to our specific question: "What are the provisions of the Reorganization Law con cerning the possibility of Phoenix District remaining as it is at present?" Quote: "It is to be empha sized that at no time has the Reorganization Com m i 1 1 e e considered a proposal to leave either Talent or Phoenix as they are. One of the considera tions is the size of the Phoenix High School. Another major consideration, of course, is the disposition of Talent which has even a smaller high school than Phoenix. It might be said in another way that leav ing Phoenix as it is does not solve the total problem in this area." " The consolidation of Phoenix-Talent would be an ad vantage to both schools, for with the increased enrollment both districts would more closely meet the recommend ed requirements in Dr. Con- ant's report. We would be able to meet all requirements for college preparatory subject offerings as to English, Math ematics, Science and Social Studies, Foreign Languages, plus the customary elective subjects and a very adequate program of vocational sub jects. We feel that the school boards of the two consolidat ing districts would work out a plan of utilizing all existing facilities to the greatest ad vantage of all concerned. Mrs. J. L. Martin 4189 Colver rd. Medford Mrs. H. C. Sloper 4756 S. Pacific Hwy, Medford Played for a Fish To the Editor: I can't help but feel that Phoenix is being played for a fish in the com ing Talent-Phoenix consolida tion. Why did Talent suddenly raise each of its teachers' sal aries $900? That is many hundreds over our Phoenix teachers. That's a pretty good raise, particularly when most of it will be paid by Phoenix taxpayers. Also they say that we won't be responsible for Taltent's.bonded indebtedness. But what about their debts that aren't bonded? I know of $17,000 that will suddenly be our problem if we carry out an immediate consolidation. On' top of all this, Talent doesn't even own its own buses. They pay a group in Ashland to haul their chil dren. Does Phoenix want to pay Ashland to haul Talent children? We have a good bus system of our own. Let's keep it alone! I have had several legal opinions and each attorney has stated absolutely that we can't be forced to consolidate with anyone. I can refer you to them. If we do consolidate, our taxes will go up 11 mills im mediately, according to the Phoenix School Board. This doesn't include all of the things Talent wants to build. They want a gymnasium (esti mated at $60,000 to $70,000). They can't use the gym they have because the childrea would have to cross the street to get there. I ask you, are we fish? They have to have their grade school overhauled. No one seems to know what that will cost. I don't like to be played for a fish. Vote against Phoenix Talent consolidation, Wednes day, May 20. Cloe Small Rt. 3, Box 240 Phoenix Alternatives Discussed To the Editor: Regarding Phoenix-Talent Consolidation: Should we consolidate or TRY to stand alone? The Reorganization Com mittee early this year recom mended two alternative plans for Phoenix district: Phoenix Talent consolidation or Phoe nix Medford consolidation. The coming election on Phoenix - Talent consolidation is a voluntary election. A simple majority will rule the outcome. However if this con solidation fails, the Reorgani zation Committee can present a plan, which in all probabili ty will be a Phoenix-Medford consolidation. After the usual legal procedures, an election will be held, and determined according to Oregon school law, Sec. 12. Read it carefully: Votes are counted separate ly, and if 60 per cent or more of the votes cast in any dis trict are against the formation of the district, the formation Matter of Fact CARDS ON THE TABLE? Geneva In the American and French delegations- here, there is increasing disquiet about the British d e 1 e gation's ten dency to con cede points to the Soviets. The argu ments at Ge neva, so far, have primari ly concerned j i loi.ptj Alsop proce aurai matters. But the Soviets are well known to regard such arguments, even if they mere ly concern the shape of the conference table, as highly sig nificant tests of will. Hence every trivial concession made to the Soviets at the outset means an insistent Soviet de mand for a much larger con cession later on. This is the explanation of the seemingly bizarre intensity of the pre liminary skirmishes. Even so, the British ten dency to give way in these preliminary skirmishes would be causing only momentary concern, if it were not for certain other developments elsewhere. For example, the news has just reached Geneva that the Federation of British Industries and Reuter's news agency have both decided, with surprising simultaneity, to open offices in the East German Republic. Fr VIEW of the timing and other circumstances, it is very hard to believe that the decision by Reuter's and the Industries Federation was not officially approved, or even actively encouraged. One of the issues in dispute here at Geneva is of course the Soviet demand for some sort of de facto recognition of the Com munist regime in East Ger many. The British think that de facto recognition ought to be accorded. And the move by Reuter's and the Industries Federation looks unhappily like a unilaterial first step in the direction desired by the Foreign Office and opposed by Britain s allies. .That is by no means all of the story either. The second installment is far more sensa tional though fortunately far more doubtful too. In brief, re ports have reached Secretary of State Christian Herter and his French colleague, Maurice Couve de Murville, of Anglo- Soviet transactions that would set a wholly new pat tern. . . THE reports, apparently com ing from Turkish and Ger man sources, actually suggest that an important Anglo-Soviet economic and political deal has been made in the very midst of the Berlin crisis. It is alleged that the British gov- e r n m e n t has tentatively agreed to extend a massive purchasing credit to the So viet government, in order to increase Soviet trade with Britain. It is further alleged that the. Soviets have under taken to order the Arab Com munist parties not to disturb British oil interests in the Middle East, in return for a British undertaking to see problems outside the Middle East with an eye more sym pathetic to the Soviets. On their face, these reports are incredible. They are not believed for a whole series of obvious reasons, by the Ameri will be delayed 30 days. If a petition by 50 per cent of vot ers in rejecting district is pre sented to County Superinten dent within that 30 days a new election is held within 60 days from first election: If a ma jority of votes in ,the reject ing district approves in second election, the formation of the district goes forward. If re jected, a new plan must be presented to the State Board of Education. If rejected the same plan is submitted a year laer. . Note, that 60 per cent of the dissenting votes cast, does NOT defeat the issue, but merely delays it for 30 days. Does anyone believe we could fight such an unfair law and continue to "stand alone"?

Medford Salutary News To the Editor: I have been much impressed by the salu tary turn of local news in the last few days and think it is worth comment. It's fine to have a group studying the Bear creek situation, to have another planning to order lit- terbags, to have someone working on parking and to have a county official propose spending money on recreation areas. It's also rather nice to have a newsDater that encourages such developments. Perhaps this is why I think Jackson county is a good place to live. Thanks to you all. Veldon J. Diment, 213 Portland ave., Medford. By Joseph Alsop cans and French. Yef the evi dence cited, although it cer tainly does not prove the truth of the reports, is some what troubling in itself. Behind the story of a mas sive British credit to the So viets, there is the fact that the President of the Board of Trade, Sir David Eccles, has just left for Moscow to seek better Anglo - Soviet commer cial relations. The Eccles mis sion received a major send off. Ostentatiously sending such a mission at this par ticular moment has a look of treating the Berlin crisis on a business-as-usual basis. AGAIN, it appears that dur ing Prime Minister Har old Macmillan's Moscow visit, Nikita Khrushchev really did drop a hint of some sort about- British oil interests in the Middle East. Nothing could have been easier to do. On the one hand, Khrushchev could recall former Prime Minister Anthony Eden's angry, fruit less attempt at warning the Soviets away from the Middle East during the Khrushchev- Bulganin visit to Britain. On the other hand, he could point to the present situation in Iraq,' whose Communist - in fluenced government is now to receive British arms. Maybe it is taking what is called a catastrophic view of the Middle Eastern situation. But the fact remains that with Iraq already virtually in their grasp, and with Iran in grave danger, the Soviets may soon possess a powerful lever for use in London. If they ever truly control the Iraqi and Iranian oil sources, they will surely apply the lever to the full. It would be characteris tic of Khrushchev to drop some hint about this when he had the chance. A LTOGETHER, there is far too much raw material for a really bad misunderstanding between the Americans and French and their British al lies." On the one crucial point, the sanctity of the freedom of West Berlin, the British swear they will never give way: and what they say on this point has every appearance of sin cerity. On other points of sub stance as well as tactics, the British are widely separated from the other allies. The sep aration is being made worse by the sort of things above described. Moreover some of these things, like the ill-timed opening of two semi-official offices in West Germany, seem to constitute legitimate grounds for complaint The Anglo - American alli ance has always been the heart and core of the Western alliance. Hence it would seem to be high time for Secretary Herter and Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd to thrash out their , differences with aU cards on the table. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. ' In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Something new is added at Geneva, where the West pro poses that the four - power talks that are under way there shall be held in secret. Why? Two reasons are offered: 1. The West's envoys are said to believe that acceptance of secrecy at the sessions would indicate that Moscow wants genuine negotiations for a settlement. 2. They think rejection of secrecy would be equivalent to admission that the Soviet government regards the Ge neva meeting mainly as a propaganda forum. The suggestion to negotiate behind closed doors was offered yesterday by U.S. Sec- reary of State Herter. It was firmly, endorsed by Britain and France. BAD? Tt cm in He VaH But- Every East-West meeting so far has been turned by the Russians into a propaganda forum. In a propaganda battle the Russians have a great ad vantage, because they will lie and we won't. One of the basic tenents of communism is that whatever serves the commu nist purpose is justifiable. We are governed by a different standard of ethics. Sc- In a propaganda battle we're apt to lose. BACK to the home front. In Washington, President Eisenhower says he wants not only a balanced budget from the congress but enough fed eral revenue to start REDUC ING the staggering public debt. iyHY does he have to FIGHT ' for an objective as laud able as that? The answer is simple. A very large number of the members of the congress be lieve that huge public spend ing is popular and that a large majority of the voting. public POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Weather Is always a safe topic. It was an interesting one, too, last week, when the tem perature soared to 96 degrees on Tuesday, and then Thurs day morning it rained like anything. It reminds of Mark Twain's remark anent the New Eng land climate, to the effect that if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes. Oh, it's spring all right. A friend who lives in e small neighboring town reports that it must be, because in recent days he has observed youngsters who have: cut a finger whittling a boat, been hit over the eye with a baseball bat, shot off e rocket, run barefoot, brought home a stray pup py, played hooky from Sun day school and counted the days until school is out. , Spring brings many things. This year it brought to the valley a visit by 22 members of the Oregon State college farm crops club. They had dinner at the Eagle Point Grange hall one night, and breakfast there the next morning. No tabulation of their consumption at din ner was recorded, but for breakfast, the good ladies of the Grange reported in some awe, they ate 20 pounds of country sausage, five dozen eggs, and 10 pounds of pan cakes. One local entreperneur who runs his business from his home has solved his communications pro bltm. He has two telephones one for his business and one for his wife. People-plain, ordinary peo-ple-who have made the ad justments necessary for a suc cessful marriage, can be for given if they look with just a little cynicism at the antics of some of the Hollywood crowd. We have reference, of course, to the recent marriage of a young singer and a young actress - good looking kids, both of them, and probably with decent enough motives-' who flaunted their lack of basic morality in the faces of the world last week. Are they to blame? With this funny, mixed-up world the way it is, the an swer probably is both yes and no. They lacked the moral stamina, the loyalty,' the com mon decency to make a go of previous marriages, and to preserve the amenities of life by waiting for a period before rushing off, amidst popping flash-bulbs, for a "honeymoon in Spain," But, as mentioned, they are still young. And more import ant, they live in a world of false values, of big money which according to some stan dards is mostly unearned, of public adulation. It takes a pretty stable character not to let the entertainment world turn one's head, and form a distorted picture of what is fair and honest,, and what is cheap and shoddy and false. We don't blame them, par ticularly. But we can feel darn sorry for them. They're letting sex and glamor and excitement fill a void which happier people fill with love and loyalty and perseverance and with all the little annoy ances, triumphs, difficulties and the basic underlying un derstanding which go into a successful marriage. The cynicism of some of us was rather well put by an editorial writer on the Eugene paper, who started out this way: "By the time this appears in the paper, Eddie Fisher and Lis Tay lor will be married, and, if it appears soon enough, they will still be married."
