Forest Fires Burn
Labrador Timber
Goose Bay, Labrador-dJPD-Three
forest fires were burn
ing out of control today
through valuable timberland
in Labrador.
Newfoundland Mines and
Resources' Minister W. J.
Keough described the situa
tion as the worst in memory.
The largest and most seri
ous fire was burning in the
estuary between Alix river
and Gilbert river in the coun
try behind Port Hope Simp
son. It was reported to- be
burning in the center of a
great timber reservoir which
was to be used to supply a
third pulp mill in Labrador
whenit is established.
by Donald R. Brand of Flor
ence, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
Barker of Portland, Mrs. Joe
D. Kiser of Osmego and Mr.
and Mrs. Roy D. Pierce of
Milwaukie.
The second group of 18 was
led by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
B. Sweet of Portland. The
students are 16 and 17 years
of age.
Under a carefully planned
schedule, the groups spent six
days in Washington, talking
with members of Congress
and visiting- government
buildings and the scenes of
early historical events; 3 days
in Williamsburg, Va., the
town that has been restored
by the Rockefellers as it
might have been as a colonial
village; a day in Philadelphia,
birthplace of the nation; 3
days in Boston, retracing the
ride of Paul Revere, climbing
Bunker Hill and visiting other
famous places such as Harv
ard; 6 days in New York, ob
serving the UN and enjoying
the sights and broadway
shows (My Fair Lady and
Raisen in the . Sun); a final
day in Washington for what
ever they missed tne nrst
time through the capital.
Total Cost
. This grand tour costs each
student $444, which covers
transportation, hotels, meals
and even laundry money.
"If they learned anything,"
observed Sweet with a grin,
"it was how to wire home for
money and how to cash money
oorders."
' . Sweet, who teaches and
coaches football at Woodrow
Wilson high school, said the
tour was "tremendous" be
cause the group gets to go be
hind the scenes to talk to of
ficials. For example, they
were briefed in New York by
UN officials; they interviewed
Oregon Sens. Wayne Morse
and Richard L. Neuberger, as
well as Rep. Edith Green;
they went back stage for a
chat with Ralph Bellamy
after seeing him star in "Sun
rise at Campobello"; and they
had their picture taken with
a presidential contender, Sen.
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
"Kennedy really wowed
them," said SweeC "They
were like wet bread after
talking with him."
Congresswoman Green was
another who made a big hit,
she guided them around the
Capitol for much of one day,
Sweet saidr
"They loved her like a sec
ond mother when they walked
out of her office," recalled
Sweet.
Many of the youngsters
come from Republican fami
lies, their leaders said, and
they were especially set to
throw, some sharp questions
at Sen. Morse. But the closest
they got. to a field of contro
versy involving Morse was
when one student asked: "Do
most senators from the same
state agree?" .
"In the years since Sen.
Neuberger has been in the
Senate, we have agreed (on
issues) more .times' than Sen.
(Guy) Cordon and I agreed,"
replied Morse. ' "There are
teams that agree more often
than Sen. Neuberger and I,
such as Hill and Sparkman
of Alabama."
Great Differences .
But he added that there are
great differences between the
senators from other states,
such as South Dakota, North
Dakota, Georgia, 'Florida,
Texas and Mississippi.
"They found him as smooth
as glass," said Sweet later.
Students in the first group
gave Sen. Neuberger some
sharp questions on his bill to
create an Oregon Dunes Na
tional Seashore Recreation
area. The students were from
Florence, seat of most of the
vocal opposition. ;
Another student thought
the Democrats proposed too
many socialistic programs,
after Neuberger said he
thought "the average working
man thinks the Democratic
party is interested in his wel
fare."; ' . '
Charge of Socialism
In reply td the charge of
socialism, 'Neuberger said:
"You have to take each thing
on its merits instead of call
ing it a name." He asked the
students whether they thought
the fire department, or the
police or the public . schools
were socialistic.
"Some things are just too
important to be left to private
enterprise,, he contended.
The second group also went
for a tour of the headquart
ers of the Teamsters, but they
didn't get to see President
James R. Hoffa, who was en
gaged elsewhere.
Mature on Trip
, "These kids have matured
tremendously," Sweet said be
fore -they left for home. "We
encouraged them to do things
on their own during free
time, like take a subway ride
in New York. Some had never
even been on a streetcar be
fore." , . . ;
As for the girl who got
chicken pox, Judith Rogers
of Portland, after being left
behind in a Boston, hospital,
she planned to rejoin the
group in Chicago for tha last
lap back to Portland via rail
way coach, the group's means
of economic transportation
from coast to coast and city
to city in the east.
