Knowland has ended near ly a quarter of a century's service on the state park com mission during which he helped California establish one of the outstanding park systems in the nation. What Knowland called his ' labor of love" began in 1932 when he was first appointed to the commission. At that time California had 58 state park areas and attendance that year was about five mil lion. Last Jan. 15, when he re tired from the commission, those 58 park areas had been expanded into full parks along with 99 others comprising 191 areas within the state. Fifty million persons visited thel parks. . He served as chairman for 20 of his 24 years on the com mission. He was not a mem ber during the years 1939-43. Actually the Alameda-born civic leader has been active in developing California rec reation areas and preserving historical landmarks for half a century. He is senior past President of the Native Sons of the Golden West and auth or of "California, a landmark history." Warm Tribute One of the warmest trib utes accorded the Oakland Tribune publisher when he stepped down from the com mission came from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin. The paper said in an edi-J torial: Quotes From United Press International Denver Mrs. Shirley Jean Havens, whose question to President Eisenhower was answered by the President in a speech Wednesday night, on why she wrote him: : "My father has always told me that if you ever want a question, answered, find someone who can answer it." i Chicago Mountain climber Sir Edmund Hillary explain ing why he would rather staff an expedition to the Himalaya mountains 'With married men: - "Married men think of home and mom. but bachelors hv more unsettling thoughts about women." .Dallas Fred Fritz, Arizona cattleman, on why highways make cattle irustling easier than in the old days: "A rustler can pull up to a pasture, cut a few wires, and lake. th cattle away in a truck."

In New York, Lock heed officials told Institute Aeronautical Science members the 250,000-pound steel airliner would require about $160,000,000 to develop. On a 200-plane production sched ule, the airliner would cost $9,240,000 each. (UPI Telephoto) '"When Mr. Knowland went on the commission, its prin cipal interest and great ac complishment lay in the pre servation of redwood groves and wilderness areas." "Mr. Knowland brought something new to the commis sion a reverence for the past and a strong sense of Cali fornia history. He was the guiding spirit in restoring the Russian settlement at Fort Ross in the north, Purisima Mission in the south, the mother lode country"s old min ing town of Columbia and others. '"He was the leader in put ing up those historical mark ers you see along the high ways and. in a sense, each is a monument to him . . ." In an interview with Unit ed Press International. Know land in turn paid tribute to the efforts of state legislators, governors and park commis sioners on behalf of state parks. And he cited the fact that "California is very fortunate in its scenic beauty." Looking back on his years on the commission, Knowland ticked off many projects in which he was particularly in terested. In addition to those cited by the News-Call Bul letin, they included: -Construction of a new Humboldt county highway that will be used by logging trucks and fast drivers so tourists may view the mag nificent redwoods from the old highway more safely and comfortably. -Restoration, or construe- the News COto AT. billed v tion of replicas, of the 21 Franciscan missions, includ ing two owned by the state Purisima and Sonoma. -Restoration of the plaza at Monterey custom house where the U.S. flag was first raised in California by Commodore Sloat in 1846-"the oldest and most important hist o r i c a 1 landmark in California." -Acquisition by the state of the gold discovery town of Coloma. -Asilomar Beach, only state park that is open all year around to organizations hold ing conventions and meetings. What of Squaw Valley, in which the state has invested eight million dollars for the winter Olympics? Knowland said there was a general feeling that the state should run it as a state park after the Olympics "if it can afford it." "California is growing all the time, and skiers are com ing all the time," he said. "I would think we could work out something eventually." As for the future of the state park system as a whole, Knowland said "I think we should improve what we have and be a little bit careful about establishing new parks unless they are very outstand ing. "I have faith in California and think there are enough people interested in parks to do the right thing looking to future generations." Unions, Copper Company Reach Terms in Utah Salt Lake City -(UPI)- Ken necott Copper Corp. and three holdout locals reached agreement on contract terms Wednesday night, paving the way for a return to work of 6,556 Utah workers. The last three Utah locals to come to terms were Sys tems Federation No. 155, In ternational Association of Ma chinists, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The three accepted a 22.3 cent an hour wage and bene fit package as offered by the company-the same accepted earlier by 17 other unions represented at Kennecott's Utah holdings. A Kennecott spokes man said no workers would be recalled until the last three ratify the agreement just reached. No-Strike Clause The no-strike clause, a stumbling block to settlement with the three, was compro mised to labor's satisfaction by a clause stating they would not be required to cross picket lines put up by another union. The, contract for all Utah locals at Kenne cott forbids strikes during the term of the two-year contract. The three locals represent 833 workers. The costly strike began last Aug. 10. Kennecott computed the daily total loss to the community at $338,187. In cluded in that figure is $95,000 a day in lost wages. Mine-Mill, largest union at Kennecott's Utah operation, reached agreement Dec. 16 and ratified several days lat er. The other major union lo cal, United Steelworkers, came to terms Nov. 20.

MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Thursday, Jan. 28, 1960 Man Discharged For False Story About Beating Portland - UPD - Tommie Buckner, 26, admitted to po lice Wednesday that his story of being beaten by two men was false and he was prompt ly fired from his job at the combination Oregonian - Ore gon Journal. Buckner told police Tues day that two men broke into his home and slapped and threatened him. He admitted Wednesday he invented the story to solve his personal problems, according to De tective Sgt. John Fraser. Publishers of the two news papers, who have combined to publish joint editions dur ing the current strike, said Buckner was discharged im mediately from his job as a printer. They expressed shock that an employee should attempt to solve a pure ly personal problem in such a fashion. Blackens Eye Sgt. Fraser said Buckner admitted breaking a window in the front door of his home, partially blackened his own eye and cut his face to make his story look authentic. Buck ner signed a statement saying he had become concerned about the safety of his family when he was assigned to the night shift and sent them home to Oklahoma. He be came lonesome for them and Sgt. Fraser said Buckner hoped to use the newspapers for references so invented the attack story he felt he needed as an excuse to leave. Police said Buckner- ad mitted the hoax when con fronted with information that his telephone number was too new to be known to other than a few persons. The incident brought an ex change between the Inter Union Strike Committee and publishers. Headline Hit ' The unions said Buckner's arrest "exposed another at tempt by the publishers of the Oregonian and Oregon Jour nal to smear newspaper un ions with the 'goonism' label." They added "the alleged 'beat ing' of Buckner in his home Tuesday was given prominent Page 1 treatment plus a pic ture . . . Wednesday morning. A three-line 2-column head line stated: 'Strike Brings Man Beating in Own Home,' in an obvious attempt to tie the newspaper unions into the incident." Publishers replied: "The Inter-Union Strike Committee has seized with transparent alacrity upon a false beat-up story to cover public reaction to the well-known and well documented activities of the strikers and strike sympa thizers. "The charge of 'goonianism' had no reference whatever to the hoax story of Tommie J. Buckner. It did relate to riot ous intimidations and beat ings which took place on side walks immediately outside the Oregonian building Saturday morning." Meanwhile, Mayor Terry Schrunk said he was deter mined to prevent further vio lence in connection with the strike, which started Nov. 10. He said he would call on sher iff's forces and state police if necessary. 92-Year-Old Man Saved from Train Gladstone, Ore. -.(UPD - Fred Southworth, 92, was rescued Wednesday evening from rail road tracks shortly before a freight train w?nt by.

Fresh mushroom stuffing makes them truly an epicurean treat. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Cultivated mushrooms are a glamour food that lends rich flavor and goodness to many favorite dishes. Unique in appearance and substance, mushrooms are delicious when eaten raw in dips or in salads, cooked as a vegetable, or in combination with other fine foods in soups, casseroles, poultry stuffings. Low in cal ories, too! Prized in the Orient for centuries, once considered "fit only for oyalty," mushrooms today are readily available the year 'round at modest cost. The past 20 years have seen phenomenal growth of the mushroom industry on the west coast so that today Cali fornia is America's fourth largest mushroom - growing state, with Oregon production increasing right along. Mushroom Selection I n selecting mushrooms, size has no bearing on qual ity. It is best, however, to choose mushrooms of uniform size if you are planning to serve them whole. It is also easier to judge cooking time that way. If they are to be cut up, size does not matter. Look for mushrooms which are fresh and firm and of good white color. Since they do not store well, even under refrigeration, it is use to plan to use them within a day or so after purchase. A pound of mushrooms is ample for serving four per sons as a vegetable. To Serve Raw For a delightful, novel taste treat try mushrooms dipped into tangy spicy sauces. Wash (do not peel), then quarter whole mushrooms through stems. Chill in ice water and arrange in patterns on serving platter for parties, buffet. TV snacks.

'Remove less tender portions of stems and add them to the soup kettle. Cook them whole, sliced or chopped. Mushrooms should be cook ed over low heat and for a very short time. Overcooking or using too high a temper ature toughens them.
