Kennedy Plans To Wind Up Campaign In New England Washington- (UPD -Sen. John F. Kennedy is considering making his final campaign push for the presidency in his native New England. A Kennedy spokesman said today tentative plans call for the Democratic candidate to swing into the six-state New England region on Nov. 7 and 8 - the last two days of the the presidential campaign Subject to Change The spokesman stressed, however, that the Kennedy campaign schedule is subject to change and is ' purely tenta tive" because November is still a long way off. Present plans call for Ken- Washington Calls Military Leaders To Conference Washington IUFD - The chiefs of America s worldwide military commands have been summoned to Washington for an extraordinary conference Wednesday. Increased mili tary spending could be a prime topic. The defense department said Monday the commanders would discuss strategy and the readiness of their forces. Spokesmen refused to elab orate on the sketchy three- sentence announcement. Budget being Prepared The field commanders will meet with Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. and the Joint Chiefs of Staff at a time when the Pentagon is deep in preparation of the military budget which will go to Congress next January. That budget is expected to call for increased defense out lays, topping the $41.9 bil lion now ticketed for the fis cal' year that started July 1. The commanders were be lieved likely to discuss meas ures for increasing the readi ness of their forces beyond steps taken since the summit blowup and the hardening of Soviet policy toward the West. nedy to launch his campaign swing into New England at Hartford, Conn., moving on to Providence, R.I., Boston, Portland, Maine, and Con cord, N.H. The Kennedy spokesman said the Massachusetts sena tor's campaign plans for Ver mont are "vague." Vermont, a GOP stronghold, is merely listed on Kennedy's tentative itinerary with no cities or towns named. New York, with its 45 elec- torial votes, will be visited by Kennedy before the New Eng land trip, possibly several times. The spokesman said Kennedy would go into up state New York early in the campaign. The six New England states have a total of 40, electoral votes. Kennedy said at the Democratic convention he won the presidential nomination on the basis of his "hard rock' support from New England. Becoming Battleground Although New England is considered Kennedy territory, it is becoming more of a po litical battleground. Vice President Richard M. Nixon is considering making more campaign trips into the area following his enthusiastic re ception Saturday in Portland, Maine. Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's press secretary, said there was a "major possibility" of sched uling more Nixon appearances than originally planned in the New England area. Tree Farm Tour Shows Practices, Market Program Beleaguered Mayor Going on Vacation Aurora, Ill.-IUPD-Mayor Paul Egan, who has been notice ably unsuccessful in his sever al year effort to fire his police chief and other city officials, Monday issued the following special notice : "Because the city commis sioners have taken all the powers of the mayor and tak en over all and everything pertaining to the running of the city of Aurora, I am tak ing my family on a vacation and hope by the time I get back the people will wake up." All forest land owners In Jackson and Josephine coun ties have been invited to at tend a tree farm tour in Jose phine county Thursday, ac cording to Calvin L. Smith, district forester, Industrial Forestry association. The tour starts at the Selma tree farm two miles north of Selma, Ore., on Highway 199. The Selma tree farm is a four-year-old Christmas tree plantation owned by L. E. Schaeffer. Featured on this farm are varieties of trees and use of irrigation to get extra growth on trees. Heavy Incoming Grain Movement Seen at Docks Salem - Supplies of grain in Portland terminal elevators have been reduced sharply which could mean an unusu ally heavy movement into Portland when the new crop is harvested. This prediction came from T. Ralph Harry, grain divi sion chief of the state depart ment of agriculture. At the same time he reported July grain receipts at Portland con tinued the decline which started in May. The July drop in incoming grain to 3.8 million bushels is due, he says, to a slack in export loadings after mid July, the fire at the Globe dock on July 10 and a hold back due to the September effective date of lower grain freight rates. Harry gave this compari son of July grain movement into Portland with recent years: July 1959, 6.5 million bushels: July 1958, 11.2 mil lion; July 1957, 5.4 million. On the export side, 15 full shiploads moved to foreign countries in July this year. This compares with 12 car goes the month before and May's 1960 high of 25 car goes. The division chief said his men made 127,533 grain in spections in the year ending June 30. He added Oregon weighed and inspected 71.6 million bushels of the 137 million bushels of grain ex ported from the Columbia riv er the past fiscal year. COMPARE RAMBLER WITH THE OLD "LOW-PRICE FIELD".

LEA MOTORS, Bartlett at 5th Schaeffer is growing Doug las fir, Lodge pole pine, Aus trian pine, Noble fir and Col orado Spruce. The Lodge pole pine, Austrian pine and Doug las fir seem well adapted to the low elevation combination of heat and moisture tut the other varieties are high eleva tion varieties and are having more difficulty growing, ac cording to District Forester Smith. Schaeffer applies his first irrigation in the spring then waits until the buds harden. A second irrigation gets an other leader growth and cuts the growing time in half, the district forester explained. Trees are spaced three feet apart, which doesn't work for all forest areas, but seems adapted to Schaeffer's specific needs, Smith pointed out. He has a Montgomery Ward con trect in San Francisco to furn ish trees of two, three and four feet heights. This close planting allows a shorter rota tion. Market Program The second tour stop will be at the Marmalejo tree farm just north of Selma on High way 199 and is owned by Leo Marmalejo. Marmalejo is suc cessfully following the chief aim of a tree farm program which is to find a specific market and adopt the tree pro duction to that market, the IF A forester explained. This is something the tree-farmers must do for themselves. Marmalejo and his family thin their Douglas fir and pine to one inch to VA inch diame ter so they can be used for marketing car stakes, grape stakes, garden stakes and circus poles. The youngsters, who are all in school, do the thinning and peel and sharpen the poles at one end. These are shipped by truck to Los Angeles. Smith pointed out that this is a sideline and would not earn the family enough money for a full-time occupation. Marmalejo Is a contractor. Final stop will be at the Tall Timber tree farm owned by Art Whitesell. This farm is located 2VS miles east of Selma on the North Deer Creek rd. Here the forest land owners will see commercial thinning, chemical spraying, tree pruning and a tree planta tion. This farm shows logging on a contract basis, among ma ture stands of trees. White sell, a retired colonel, bought this land while in the service and fieures he has since taken profits in timber harvest many times what he original ly oaid for the land. Whitesell used 2-4D and 2-45 to kill the brush around the trees and save many hours of hand labor, Smith said. Commercial Pruning Commercial pruning on the Tali Timber farm is done up to 18 feet high under a high ly selective pruning program. "In contacting tree farm ers in Jackson and Josephine counties, I find that many peo ple are interested in the pro grams of forest management on other properties. By getting together, sharing experiences, ideas, and studying common problems, we can continue to add our knowledge of forest management, Smith said. "Feel free to invite your neighbors who might be in terested in forestry to attend this meeitng." A little better than one third of the private, timber land is owned by lumber mills in southwestern Oregon, Smith pointed out. One local mill owns 8,000 acres of pri vate forest land. These mills operate their timber lands on a sustained yield basis and study the latest most scientific methods of timber culture and harvesting. Purposes of the Industrial Forestry association, to which the local mills belong, is guid ing forest policy, certifying west coast tree farms, grow ing 10 million trees annually, improving trees through genetics, making forestry and economic studies, publishing forestry facts, working on for est taxation, representing in dustry before public bodies, furnishing forestry advice and encouraging forestry education.
