Logging Session Speaker Calls for More Conservation By JOE COWLEY Mail Tribune. Staff Writer The theme of the Sierra Cascade Logging conference in Redding, Calif. "bugs, burns and baloney" was elaborat ed on by the keynote speaker as the three-day conference opened Thursday morning at the fairgrounds nt Anderson near Redding, Calif. Walter Reed, chief forester for Collins Pine company, Chester, Calif., told " of the vast damage to timberlands through forest fires and bugs. He indicated that single use of forest lands as demanded by many conservationists is so much baloney. "Bugs destroyed more Cali fornia timber from 1949 to 1959 than all the sales, during that period in the state's na tional forests," Reed said. "Of this 113 billion board feet destroyed by bugs per year, I hope some of it was salvaged. This compares to the allow able timber cut in California each year of 1V4 billion board feet. We are inclined to take this bug problem too lightly." Demand Switches Considering last year's fire loss in California forests, we should get up on our hind feet and holler," Reed ex claimed. "We should demand that Pacific Gas and Electric company which has - power poles in California timber lands and all. electric compa nies put throw out switches on every power line running through forested areas. Nine teen of the 50 forest fires in the four county area near Placerville last season were caused by damaged power power lines. The forester Insisted that logging operators should de mand . early salvage of tim ber . on burned over lands since the destructive insects tended to move into the burns and cause additional damage. "We should plan and exe cute a gigantic log salvage program," the forester empha sized. "We now have the tim ber access roads and the con struction equipment to im prove and construct such roads. We have a mobile, ag gressive and diversified in dustry which should combine in an all out effort with the Phone SP full cooperation of various government agencies to get the job done. If we have to we -should sack normal oper ating procedures." Outstanding Job The forester noted that the forest service was already do ing an outstanding job in sal vaging ' timber in California forests. The logs must be harv ested before the bugs leave the trees, Reed added. The dry fall made the trees even more susceptible to bug dam age. Lumber interests should conduct a crusade against single use management of timber lands, the California forester declared. The indus try should insist that timber areas be fully developed and reaffirm the principle of mul ti-use timber land mangement for growing timber, water, recreation and wildlife. . Approximately lVfc million acres of forest and farm areas are removed in the United States each year for parks, game management, highways, utilities and water resources development, Reed noted. "After listening to the hear ings on the proposed wilder ness area bill I am convinced that the so-called converva tionists do not actually know what they are seeking," the Californian said. 'These hear ings revealed that some of the people really were only seeking roadside recreation areas." ' Destror Freedom "Yet, these people are men of high integrity, professional men, farmers, businessmen," the forester noted. "In seek ing setting aside of these for est lands they are destroying the very freedoms which they claim to be seeking." . Logging operators and lum bermen from Washington, Oregon and California! and including Jackson county op erators, attended the confer ence. Approximately $3 million in logging equipment was on display at the three exhibit buildings at the fairgrounds.

A Sunday, Fib. 14, I960 Lighting, Wiring Talked by Groups La test lighting develop ments and wiring standards were discussed at a meeting of more than 75 local elec tricians and building con tractors during a joint session of the Electric Club of South ern Oregon and the California Oregon Power company at the Jackson, hotel Friday night. ' Copco sponsored the pro gram. Keynote speaker was Frank Rush, Copco's, home wiring expert, who described some new lighting , fixtures being built Into modern homes and talked about adequate wiring. 'The average home now has over '30 appliances and uses more than seven . times the electricity it was consuming 10 years ago," Rush pointed out. "Electrical usage in the Copco service area is over 2Yz times the national average. Four of five homes, including new ones are inadequately wired, in view of the greater power use." ' Minimum national wiring standards for FHA loan re quirements are set far too low for modern electric living, home builders and electric ians brought out In discus sion. Clarence L. Weaver, secretary-treasurer of the Cal-Ore Electrical League, discussed the league's growth and ac tivities over the . past 13 months. Ben Graham, nresident of the Electric Club of Southern Oregon and meeting chair man, closed with a brief talk encouraging more such meet ings, aiming at proper home electrification.

The article was prepared by the Foreign Policy association, incorpo rated. New York, in con junction with the Great De cisions discussion groups throughout the country. To day's article deals with dilemmas caused by a di vided Europe.) Europe is both the "cock pit" of the world-wide cold war, and the chief factor in the East-West power balance. It is the cockpit of the con test because so many of the critical issues of the cold war are European issues-the divi sion of Berlin into communist and free zones, the division of Germany into communist and democratic states, the di vision of Europe itself into satellite eastern ' and inde pendent western nations. The major military con frontation in the world is the lineup . of communist and NATO troops in central Eu rope. Disarmament talks and proposals for "disengage ment" are attempts to avert, in part, dangers implicit in this hostile military build-up in Europe. Critical Factor - Europe is also a critical factor in the world-wide pow er balance for the simple rea son that whichever side con trols all Europe, would auto matically have a significant advantage in economic, mili tary and strategic power. In 1957, for example, the total production of goods and services in the United States, Canada and Western Europe amounted to $869,000,000,000 while all the communist na tions in the world produced only $286,000,000,000 in goods and services. Had West ern Europe been counted in the communist column, how ever, the balance would have read $472,000,000,000 for the West and $683,000,000,000 for communism. ; For all these reasons, ex perts agree, the North Atlan tic alliance of the U.S., Can ada and Western Europe is in essential foundation stone in U.S. foreign policy. The dip lomatic unity of the Western Allies, and their close coop eration on military, economic and. political matters, can be decisive. Yet, as the "Big Four" head for the summit meeting next May, they have serious differences which will direct ly or indirectly affect the Al lied position at the East-West negotiations. Stumbling Blocks The principal stumbling blocks to allied unity are mil itary, diplomatic and eco nomic. Only in the economic area has significant progress been made recently. On the military front, the issues are particularly com plex. The armed forces of the NATO command have yet to be brought up to full strength. About 400,000 French troops, nominally committed to the NATO, have been drained off to Algeria to fight the nation alist rebellion. France is resisting the "uni fied command" principle of NATO, and insists on retain ing control over its own forces, except air warning forces. Furthermore, France has refused to allow U.S. nu clear installations on French territory unless France is given a say in the use of nu clear weapons an arrange ment prohibited by U.S. law. . Meanwhile France is speed ing its own plans to become the world's fourth nuclear power, an ambition which in spires mixed reactions in oth er Allied capitals. Political Front - On the political front, the policies of the Western Allies are also at odds. France and West Germany have general ly taken a "harder" line of negotiations with- the Soviet Union. Neither- country was anxious for a summit meet ing. Both argue "for Allied firmness on the future status of West Berlin, as has the U.S., though Washington has favored top level talks with Russia on West Berlin and other issues. Britain, on the other hand, has pressed most energetical ly for a summit conference and for an "accommodation" with the Soviet Union on the West Berlin question. The political differences have even wider implications. The cornerstone of West Ger man policy is Big Four re sponsibility to reunite the German nation through free elections. France and the U.S. support this objective, but British diplomacy seems to j Discussed in Decisions Topic suggest that this goal is un realistic. Similarly. France is at odds with its allies over its Alge rian policy. After more than five years of civil war in this North African resion. France has offered to negotiate a cease fire with the rebels and, after a four-year interval, to allow the Algerians to deter mine their future status by ballot. Issue Not Settled The issue is hv no means settled, however. French rightists in Algeria have strongly resisted self-determination for the 90 per cent of the population which is Mus lim. Algerian nationalists have yet to accept the terms for the cease fire. The Afro-Asian bloc of na- tions sympathizes strongly with the Algerian national ists. In this bitter struggle France's allies are in a diffi cult Dosition. If they support French policy, they will alien ate public opimon m the Afro Asian world. If they support the Algerian nationalists, they will alienate France. If they try to stay aloof from the conflict, as the U.S. has at tempted to do, both sides are resentful. . The brightest spot in Allied relations is' in the economic area. Durinz 1959 the North Atlantic community seemed headed for trade bloc rival ries that could do serious damage to the economic growth and continued pros perity of these, the world's most Important trading na tions. The six nations of the Euro pean Common Market had made great strides toward the elimination of internal tariffs and customs, and the establishment of common tar iffs toward the rest of the world. Looser Pattern Seven other Western Euro pean nations, including Brit ain, established a somewhat looser pattern of economic cooperation, which eliminat ed internal tariffs but allowed each country to set its own tariffs with the rest of the world. The United States, mean while, found itself exporting dollars at an unprecedented rate. U.S. commercial foreign trade showed a favorable bal ance of exports over imports, but U.S. overseas investments and foreign aid programs more than offset this balance. Fears over this situation were L SPECIALS--9 DAYS HI-FI DEPARTMENT FISHER PROV. STEREO RP PLAYER Was $635.00 . NOW MAGNA VOX CONSOLE 21" T.V. At Table Model Prieo '. MAGNAVOX CONSOLE STEREO Mah.

In recent months, however, the situation has brightened considerably. Under the lead ership of U.S. Undersecretary of State Douglas Dillon, the U.S., Canada, Japan and Western Europe are negotiat ing new, broader patterns of economic cooperation. In ad dition to cooperation on trade and tariff policies, these na tions expect to plan jointly their foreign economic aid to underdeveloped areas of - the world. It is expected that new pat terns of cooperation will help broaden the market for U.S. exports, and will help reverse the recent U.S. "balance of payments" trend. - Main Concern The main concern in Allied capitals is whether military and diplomatic policies can be coordinated as readily as have economic policies. This question is particularly im portant in view of scheduled negotiations -with the Soviet Union. Few experts believe that the inter-Allied divisions are so deep as to allow the So viets to drive a wedge into the Western alliance system. On the Algerian crisis, some experts feel that the Soviet spokesmen for reasons of their own, are currently hold ing back their usual propa ganda thrusts to avoid roiling East-West relations before the summit meeting. But should France be un able completely to quell the insurgent revolt m Algiers, or later achieve a just settlement i of the wider Algerian prob-1 lem, the West will inevitably carry an exposed weakness to any future summit meet ing. The U.S. and Britain, as the two nuclear powers on the Allied side, must also hope to align France with them on disarmament plans, especially on a( nuclear test ban, which they may" wish to negotiate at the summit. Economic Cooperation Presumably over the long term, the present trends to ward greater economic coop eration within the Western alliance system may lead to wider diplomatic and political coordination of Allied poli cies. This cannot, however, af fect the summit meeting in May.
