Joseph Knowland Ends 25 Years
Of Service for California Parks
By PETER J. HAYES
United Press International
Oakland, Calif .-(UPI)- Joseph
R. 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:

'"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-

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.

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.
Police Chief William Lewis
said he had been looking f r
Southworth since the elderly
man was reported missing
from a nursing home late in
the afternoon. As he approach
ed railroad tracks on Edge
water Road he-heard a faint
call for help and saw South
worth -lying on the tracks.
Lewis dragged him from
the tracks. He said South
worth apparently sat down
and had then fallen over from
exhaustion.

ROASTED IN PAIRS - The miraculous broiler-fryer can be
roasted in pairs, trios or quartettes like those shown above.
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. Holding stem "han
dle," dip cap ends into popu
lar sour-cream-onion soup mix
sauce, barbecue 'or cheese
sauce.' Dunk and enjoy.
Use sliced fresh mushrooms
in salads, too.
Mushroom Cooking
Cultivated mushrooms need
not be peeled. They need only
be washed gently and quickly
under cold running water just
before cooking. '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.
Saute Favored
Mushrooms are tremendous
ly popular when sautee'd like
this for serving with steak, or
on toast points as a luncheon
specialty. Slice 1 pound fresh
mushrooms through caps and
stems. Melt V cup butter or
margarine in skillet; add
mushrooms; sprinkle lightly
with salt. Saute over low heat,
stirring' often until mush
rooms are lightly browned in
their own juice. About 5 to 8
minutes.
Canned Mushrooms
. Readily available in several
sizes, canned mushrooms can
be used wherever fresh mush
rooms are indicated. They
come in whole caps, sliced,
stems and pieces.
Mushroom Appetizer
Highly prized is this recipe
for pickled mushrooms. It
calls for 1 pound small fresh
mushrooms; makes 3 cupfuls
for offering as appetizer or
relish.
Wash 1 pound small fresh
mushrooms; leave whole and
cook 10 minutes in boiling
water with 1 teaspoon" salt;
drain. Add 2 tablespoons fresh
lemon juice, 23 cup olive or
salad oil, 1 clove garlic, split,
z cup sliced celery, 2 table
spoons sliced stuffed olives, 2
tablespoons sliced ripe olives,
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
parsley, 1 tablespoon capers,
1 teaspoon salt and 1 table
spoon wine vinegar.
Refrigerate several hours,
overnight, or several days.
Stuff Broiler-Fryers
For a change and also a
handsome display, roast two,
three of four broiler-fryers
for serving four, eight, or
twelve lucky persons.
Texture and subtle flavor
of mushrooms is a special
treat when encountered in
this bread cube stuffing with
poultry seasoning or Vs tea
spoon (a large pinch) each of
crumbled thyme leaves, rose
mary leaves, marjoram leaves
and savory leaves, if you have
them handy- as many . good
cooks do. For each broiler
fryer: 3-4 pound broiler-fryer
Vi cup minced onion
34 cup diced celery
3i cup sliced mushrooms
4 tablespoons butter or
margarine
4 cups day-old bread cubes
1 teaspoon salt
V4 teaspoon pepper
Vz teaspoon poultry season
ing or large pinch each
of crumbled thyme, rose
mary, marjoram and sa
vory leaves
Vz to 1 cup broth, water or
milk
Salt for cavity
Cook onion, celery and
mushrooms in butter over low
heat, stirring occasionally un
til onion is soft but not brown
ed. Meanwhile, blend season
ings with bread cubes; add
onion, celery, mushrooms.
Add more seasoning as de
sired. After rubbing chicken ca
vity with salt, stuff wishbone
and body cavities lightly, and
we do mean lightly if you
want a desirable light stuff
ing. Truss chicken.- Place breast
side up on a rack in a shallow
open pan. Brush skin with
butter or margarine. Cover
top of chicken with fat-moistened
thin cloth or a loose cap
of aluminum foil. Roast in a
slow oven, 325 degrees, 2 to 3
hours. Do not sear. Do not
add water. Do not cover.
Test for doneness: Leg

pieces. For a real taste treat,
serve this favorite fish with
popular dairy sour cream. Six
servings. .

Cook onion in butter until

pan and fry at moderate heat.
When fish is brown on one
side, turn carefully and brown
the other side. Cooking time
is approximately 10 minutes,
depending on thickness of
fish. Cover fish with onions,
sweet basil and sour cream.
Cover and simmer 5 min
utes or until fish flakes easily
when tested with a fork.
Garnish with parsley.
Pickle Preference
America's favorite pickle is
the dill. We eat an average
of 4 "pints of pickles per
person every year; a total
exceeding Wz million bushels
of pickles.
Each pickle packer has his
own formulas, often founded
on the recipe of some excel
lent home cook or renowned
chef. Stock jp on your favor

just might become a favorite.
