face and hands when a gas
main exploded Saturday noon

dr.
Dr. Foland said his son and
Teddy Adams, about the same
age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack

Christmas Tree
Cutting in Area
Discussion Topic
Road patrols, air patrols,
prevention signs, publicity,
posting reward notices, and an
active cooperative program of
law enforcement agencies are
among the methods of control
being considered against
large-scale theft of Christmas
trees in southern Oregon.
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 . Klamath and Fremont
National forest, .bureau of
land management, the nation
al park service, Oregon state
board -6t fbrestryr Southern

association, private land own
ers, the federal bureau of in
vestigation, state police and
Jackson County District At
torney Thomas Reeder.
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.
Unauthorized and destruc
tive cutting of Christmas trees
became so flagrant in -1958
widespread concern develop-
in the Senate by Sen. Richard
Neuberger (D. - Ore.), would
create a national park to in
clude some 12,000 acres of
Forest Service land within
the boundaries of the propos
ed 35,000 acre park.
Allen Testifies
Also at the opening session
of the two-day hearing Friday
Dan Allen, Salem, executive
secretary of the Governor's
committee on Natural Re
sources, said the committee
is still opposed to the plan as
it stands but "would be pleas
ed to consider amendments."
The hearing was conducted
by Rep. Gracie Pfost (D.-Ida.),

Kennedy Calls
For New Latin
American Policy
Security Threat
Seen in Region
San Diego, Calif. (DPD -Sen.
John F. 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.

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 new proposal also was
said to call for a slash of ap
proximately 50,000 men in
authorized military strength.

Cloud Seeding Due
The' North American
Weather Consultants of Ore
gon have announced plans to
treat clouds over the North
Umpqua river watershed dur
ing the coming year.
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. ' . '
Cloud seeding, sources said,
has for several years increased
precipitation, much of it in
the form of snow, in the area.
A deeper snow pack maintains
a higher rate of river flow
during the summer months
than would otherwise be ex
pected. The company said cloud
seeding. will be carried on
from Nov. 15 through April
