by the move.
They said that as long as
the supply of gold falls short

Lumbermen Said
To Be Confused
On Amendments
Washington -UPD- Rep.
Charles O. Porter, (D-Ore.), to
day asked the Small Business
Administration to delay about
a month the effective date of
its proposed amendments to
regulations on "set-aside" tim
ber sales.
The congressman told SBA
Administrator Philip McCal
lum in a letter there is "con
fusion" in the minds of many
lumbermen in the Pacific
Northwest over the effect of
the proposed amendments,
published Oct. 5, and sched
uled to go into effect in 30
days.
Would Change Definition
Under the present law cer
tain timber sales on federal
land may be "set aside" by
the Small Business Adminis
tration so that only those
firms qualifying as "small
business'1 concerns may bid
on them.
Porter said that among oth
er things the new regulations
would change the definition
of "small business" as it ap
plies to logging contractors so
that a contractor could not
qualify unless he were selling
his logs for production into
lumber to a firm which also
qualifies as a small business.
Previously, he said, the quali
fications were that he employ
fewer than 250 people and
not be financed by a large
concern.
To Hold Conference
Porter said he would hold
a federal timber policies con
ference at Eugene Nov. 10
and "many operators both
large and small will be pres
ent or represented." He said
he hoped McCallum could
send an expert to "explain
the intent and operation of
the proposed amendments."
"If this could be done,"
Porter, said, "then I would
hope that the operators could
House
Inquiry
Launch
Washington -(UPD- House in
vestigators launched a politi
cal potent inquiry today in
an effort to find out whether
government reports on U.S.
prestige abroad have been
withheld on White House
orders.
A spokesman said the
House government informa
tion subcommittee expected
a report on the subject today
from U.S. Information
Agency Director George V.
Allen.
Studies Withheld
The spokesman said the
USIA had invoked "execu
tive privilege" and withheld
from Congress recent studies
of America's standing abroad.
He said the monthly polls
usually are classified and not
released to the public, but in
the past they have been made
available to Congress.
Executive privilege usually
is invoked on orders from the
White House.
U.S. prestige among for
eigners has become a major
campaign issue. Democratic
presidential nominee John F.
Kennedy contends American
prestige has declined under
the Eisenhower administra
tion. GOP candidate Richard
M. Nixon insists it never has
been higher.
The House investigation
was launched following a Co
lumbia Broadcasting System
statement that a secret USIA
report contains evidence that
American military prestige
abroad has slipped badly. The
network said the Aug. 29 re
port shows a majority of
Investigators
in Reports of Prestige
have 20 or 30 days from that
date to make their comments
to you before your final deci
sion is made."
America's Allies believe Rus
sia is the world's strongest
military power.
Kennedy and Chairman J.
William Fulbright, (D-Ark.),
of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee have asked
for any recent USIA studies
of America's prestige.

Judge Accused of
Illegal Action
Dallas, Ore. - (UPD - The
chairman of the Polk county
Democrats, L. V. Bahr, charg
ed Monday that Republican
County Judge Cal Barnhart,
who soeks reelection, three
years ago aided a former
county commissioner in ille
gally exempting a purchased
auto of taxes.
Today the judge described
the attack as "political char
acter assassination.
In 1957, Bahr said, Judge
Barnhart helped former Com
missioner G. V. Rempel avoid
an excise tax on a car by
indicating the vehicle was for
county use.
Judge Barnhart admitted
signing a certificate which
named Polk county as the
owner and made the purchase
exempt from $130 in federal
tax. The car later was trans
ferred to Rempel's name.
The judge said that it had
been his understanding that
at the time of the purchase
the car was exempt if it was
to be used by the county part
time. He denied there was
anything illegal about the
transaction.
Rempel later paid the tax
when a question was raised
about it.

Williams Sees Close Race in Oregon;
Porter-Durno Debate Slated Thursday
By United Pren International
Gov. G. Mennen Williams
of Michigan says the presi
dential race is "closer in Ore
gon than in some other
places."'
Williams, who visited Ash
land, Medford and Portland
Monday, predicted that Sen.
John F. Kennedy, the Demo
cratic nominee, would win
California, New York and
most industrial states but' said
he was "not an expert" on
the situation in Oregon.
Williams, who left for Den
ver today, campaigned in
Portland for Rep. Edith
Green, (D-Ore.), seeking an
other term in Congress.
The Michigan governor was
asked whether Kennedy
would accept Vice President
Richard Nixon's terms for an
other television debate and
said "It looks as though Nixon
is trying to make it impossible
for the broadcasting com
panies to agree to another de
bate." ,
Democrats were preparing
to welcome two-time presi
dential nominee Adlai Ste
venson, who speaks at a rally
Sunday night in the Civic
Auditorium in Portland.
A half hour live television
debate to be carried on Eu
gene. Roseburg and Coos Bay
stations and rebroadcast in
Medford is scheduled Thurs
day between Rep. Charles O.
Porter, (D-Ore.) and his-op-
ponent, GOP State Sen. Ed
win Durno of Medford. The
debate will include 10 .min
ute presentations and five
minute rebuttals.
Howell Appling Jr., Repub
lican secretary of state, and
his opponent, Monroe' Sweet
land, who have traded sharp
words during the campaign,
agreed upon something Mon
day. They took part in dedi
cation of the new Oregon Col
lege of Education student
union building and declared
their support for ballot mea
sure 6, which would authorize
an increase in the limit on
bonding for self-liquidating
projects of the higher educa
tion system.
there have been no recent
studies. Kennedy and Ful
bright charged there are such
reports which are being sup
pressed for "political rea
sons." Plans Full Inquiry
A House government in
formation subcommittee
spokesman said Monday night
Chairman John E. Moss, ID-
Calif.), had ordered a "full
speed head" investigation to
determine on what grounds
"executive privilege" was be
ing invoked to withhold pres
tige reports from Congress.
Moss, a bitter foe of gov
ernment secrecy, has charged
in the past that the adminis
tration has invoked execu
tive privilege to withhold in
formation that put it in a bad
light."
The congressman accused
the Office of Civil and De
fense Mobilization Monday of
trying to suppress a still
secret Army report criticiz
ing the nation's air raid alert
system.
In a letter to Army Secre
tary Wilber M. Brucker, Moss
said he had been informed
that OCDM Director Leo A.
Hoegh wrote the Army's re
search chief "requesting him

Injures Boy, 5
Portland fUPD - Robert
Headen, 5, was struck by a
hit-run driver Monday while
walking to school alone for
the first time, police reported.
The boy suffered a broken
arm. His mother said she had
walked Robert to kinder
garten about eight blocks from
his home each day until Mon
day. Police said the boy was in
an unmarked crosswalk when
hit. A taxi driver told police
he saw the boy look both
ways at the intersection and
then start to cross.

Hundreds of roadside and off-highway businesses
