Warning Issued on Sale of Timber Salem - (CPD - State Forest er Dwight L.' Phipps warned Saturday that timber owners who sell their trees without consideration of the Oregon forest conservation act are apt to be in difficulty if suf ficient seed source is not re served to satisfy legal require ments. Responsibility for leaving seed source or otherwise pro vide for reforesting the land is jointly shared by the logger and the timberland owner. Phipps said failure to com ply makes it necessary for the state to collect a bond from the operator or landowner. Marco Advertising Expands Operation Mrs.'M. C.

Lusk Says He's 'Conservative With Liberal Tendencies' By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - OJPD - Sen. Hall S. Lusk began his Senate service by voting with the pro civil rights liberals but he does not consider himself a liberal Democrat as such. "I am a conservative with liberal tendencies," he replied when asked where he would place himself on the broad political spectrum of the Dem ocratic party. . Senator Lusk, emerging from the comparative quie tude of 30 years' service as an Oregon judge, was this past week suddenly plunged into the biggest political arena in the country when he took the oath as a U.S. Senator suc ceeding the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger. But he seemed destined to continue with a judicial approach to his new duties. Not a Crusader " "I would never think of my self as a crusader," Sen. Lusk declared. Not since Sen. Guy Cordon was defeated by Neuberger in 1954 has Oregon had a non crusading senator. Cordon, a Republican, also had a judicial demeanor. Lusk is not as conservative as Cordon nor as liberal as Neuberger and Sen. Wayne Morse. In the 1952 elections, Lusk voted for Adlai Steven son for President, but in 1956 he voted for President Eisenhower. "I thought he had done a good job," Lusk said of Eisen hower, and "I thought we should keep him in there. I'm not a very partisan Democrat." Lusk got into politics orig inally in an active way in 1922 bymnning for the state legislature from Portland, but without real political ambitions. Klan Was Rampant "That was when the Klan was rampant in uregon. recalled Lusk. "The Klan seemed to me to be such an outrageous thing - and I, as a Catholic, was a victim of their attacks - that I thought I should do whatever I could to oppose it. I was not elected, of course." An outgrowth of this anti- Catholic feeling was a pro posal on the ballot requiring that all children be sent to public schools. It would have compelled Catholics to with draw their children from par ochial schools to meet the state compulsory education law. This proposal carried. A young attorney at the time, Lusk was one of the lawyers who represented Archbishop Cristie when he successfully brought suit against the state, challenging the constitutionality of this ban on using private schools. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the state of Oregon in this landmark case. . Lusk was never a very ac tive Democratic party man, he explained. He did serve by appointment during Woodrow Wilson's administration as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Ore gon from 1918-20. But when he ran for the legislature in 1922, he supported the Repub lican candidate for governor "because he took a firm stand against the Klan." The Demo crat, Walter Pierce, was elected. No Preference As of now, Sen. Lusk has no preference for the Demo cratic presidential nomination. "I really don't know who I would prefer, but I'll have a good chance to look them over in the Senate," he observed. Lusk regards himself as a conservationist and he admir ed his predecessor for his ef forts to protect scenic and valuable resources. "That was the great thing about Neuberger," he said. "We've been so wasteful with our resources." As for Neuberger's proposal for a national seashore park on the Oregon coast, Sen. Lusk said: "To the extent that I know about it, I'm very much in favor of it. That beautiful coast of ours should be dedi cated to public use. It's a wonderful idea." Unpopular Decision Sen. Lusk said he under stood some features which he would have found objection able concerning1 private prop erty in the Florence area have been eliminated. His assign ment to the interior commit tee, filling Neuberger's vacant seat, will put him in a key position regarding future dis position of the seashore legis lation which has been refer red to that committee. When asked about a well publicized case in which he acquitted a man who killed a whale in the Willamette river with dynamite, the 76-year-old senator puffed on his pipe and recalled with some amuse ment the furor created by the death of that whale. He ruled that the man did not violate a law against killing fish be cause this was a mammal. "I knew it would be an un popular decision," he mused. "My wife wouldn't speak to me for a day or two after that decision." "But," added the distin guished jurist, "the law is the law." Whatever the character of the voting record he makes during his brief Senate tenure, Oregons new U.S. Senator ap peared at the outset to be the sort of political figure Ore- gonians admire a man of in dependent viewa with the courage, despite the inevit able pressures, to take his stand for what he believes to be right. . . . Jury Finds Woman Guilty of Charge District Court Judge E. Roy Bashaw said Friday it would probably be two weeks before he decides on a possible sen tence for Mrs. Billie Jean Smith, Glen Oak court, who was charged with petty larceny. Medford Attorney A. E. Piazza presented a motion on behalf of Mrs. Smith stating she was arrested by city po lice under the wrong statute Thomas J. Reeder, district at torney, prosecuted the case. A district court jury unani mously found Mrs. Smith guilty Thursday afternoon after VA hours deliberation. The Medford woman is charg. ed witn taking a woman s dress from Sears and Roebuck and company store here. Voters in Stayton Okay Tax Levies Stayton, Ore. - OJPD - Two tax levies totaling $15,000 were approved by voters here Friday. One for $7,500 pro vides a 10-year plan for wa ter system improvement. It passed 432-61. Another $7,500 levy to be spread over four years will buy the city a new fire truck. This was approved 428-62. Area Men Named To Board of WCLA At Annual Session Six southern Oregon and northern California men have been named to the board of directors of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. They are George C Glana- gan, Medford, Elk Lumber company; T. K. Oliver, Med ford, Timber Products com pany; E. W. Pease, Trail, Trail Creek Lumber company. Inc.; R. T. Moore, Jr., Grants Pass, Moore Timber Products, Inc.; T. H. Mehl Jr., Glendale, The Robert Dollar company; and John B. Crook, Yreks, Siski you Mills. At the 49th annual meeting of the association in Portland last week, optimism for the long range prosperity of the West Coast lumber industry was expressed. Eliot Jenkins, Springfield, who was reelected president, said he has found renewed in terest in lumber and a new appreciation of its versatility as a structural and home building material. He warned, however, that the industry faces its toughest fight in his tory. Adequate Subsiilule Thomas J. McHugh, Boston, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers associ ation, said an adequate sub stitute for lumbeT has never been found, so the future of the lumber industry is as promising as the future of the county as a whole. The association members approved a $600,000 program of advertising and promotion of west coast species for 1960, and plans were outlined by the trade promotion commit tee for a stepped-up campaign of lumber merchandising of west coast species to meet the challenge of new substitutes competing for the home building market. Other officers elected in clude Nils Hult, Junction City, William Garnett, Tacoma, Jack Fairhurst, Eureka, vice presidents in Oregon, Wash ington and California, respec- t i v e 1 y; William Swindells, Portland, secretary; R. W. Middleton, Aberdeen, treas urer; H. V. Simpson, execu tive vice president, who was reelected for his 15th term.
