Problems of Christmas tree thefts were discussed at recent meetings in Klamath Falls and Medford at which meth ods of control were consider ed. ; ; - . Present at the meetings were representatives of the Rogue River, Siskiyou, Ump nua .

Have No Respect -Carroll , E.. Brown, super visor of Rogue River National forest, said the primary con cern is in controlling unau thorized cutting for the com mercial market. , "These rustlers, of course, have no interest in whether or not the trees they cut are po tential timber crop trees," Brown said. i - Brown stressed that control methods are not, directed against the legitimate, Christ mas tree cutter who cuts on his own property or with the consent of the land owner. Christmas tree cutting, when done on a planned basis under the control of the land owner or administrator, need hot be destructive, and may even be helpful in thinning over-crowded stands of young trees, he pointed put. Cutting, he said, will be controlled to present damage to the forest, and the forest will be paid the stumpage value of the trees. Like other national forest receipts, 25 per cent of this stumpage pay ment will be returned to the counties in which the forest is situated, he added. ' He mentioned that the Klamath district of the Rogue River National Forest recent ly sold 12,500 trees in 14 dif ferent small sales.

The hearing was conducted by Rep. Gracie Pfost (D.-Ida.), Al Ullman (D.-Ore.) and J. Edgar Chenoweth (R.-Colo.).

Kennedy, de claring the Monroe Doctrine and good neighbor policy in adequate, Saturday night called for a new Latin Amer ican policy. The Massachusetss Demo crat warned if something isn't done soon the United States might find its greatest secur ity threat is in the Western Hemisphere, not some distant corner of the world. , He suggested six points for formation of the new policy. Kennedy was on a Califor nia swing to test the political waters for a decision on whether to seek the 1960 presidential nomination. He warned: . . "If we continue to take our Western Hemisphere friends for granted - if we continue to assume that all anti-American agitation is Communist inspired our own back yard" may well pose a threat to our security far greater than that posed by any dis tant corner of the globe." Kennedy recommended a new Latin American policy to include points such as these: -The development of a se ries of inter-American eco nomic agreement for stabli zation of commodity prices, and convertibility of currency and mutual adjustment of duties and quotas. -The' enlargement of Latin American allocations in the development loan fund and the widest possible use of the new Inter-American Capital Development Bank. - -The negotiations of indi vidual tax treaties. -A new American attitude on dictators which would not influence the choice of lead ers but make it. clear. that the U. S. looks with favor on free governments.

Several local firms donated man Budget Reduction Said Planned in Military Spending Washington - (UPD - The De fense Department has com pleted a tentative budget call ing for a reduction of nearly a half billion dollars in U.S. military spending next year, informed sources said Satur day. ' They said the proposed spending ' figure, which , still must get White House approv al, was close to $40,500,000, 000. The total represents a sharp cutback from the money re quests originally submitted by the Army, Navy and' Air Force for the 12 months start ing next July 1. The sources said President Eisenhower's budget bureau wants to cut the figure an other half-billion dollars to bring it down to $40 billion. Military spending now is run ning about $40,945,000,000 a year.' ' The proposed U.S. defense cutback would range from 1 to 3 per cent depending on whether Eisenhower accepts the Defense Department or budget bureau view. Russia recently claimed a cut of about 9 per cent in military outlays. The two figures are not comparable, however, be cause many Soviet military programs are charged off as civilian outlays.

The company, in contract with ". the California Oregon Power company, said it plans to seed clouds with silver io dide from ground generators to increase precipitation. The area affected would r a n g e from Lake of the Woods to Windigo.pass along the summit of the Cascades, and between Toketee Falls and the Fish lake road in an east-west direction. ' .
