Temperance Of ficer Opposes Beer as Inaugural Sponsor Washington - (UPD - The N Monal Temperance league doesn't want the salons of the New' Frontier to get mixed up with the saloons of the Old Frontier. League President Erwln F. Bohmfalk has filed a "most sincere and vigorous protest" with the inaugural committee against the decision to accept beer commetcials on the broadcast and telecast of President-elect John F. Ken nedy's inauguration Jan. 20. In an open letter to Samuel C. Brightman, publicity di rector of the inaugural com mittee, Bohmfalk said the high standards of the cere mony "should in no way be compromised by the advertis ing of an industry that has no right to operate except as that right is granted by the sufferance of the people." Children Watching He said more men, women ind children would be in the radio-TV audience than at any previous inauguration. He said some schools planned to let children watch or listen to the broadcast in classrooms. The Inaugural' committee first listed beer, along with diodor ants, brassieres and girdles, as products that were unacceptable for commercials during the broadcast of the inauguration. Congressman Protests But Rep. Henry S. Reuss (D-Wis.) who pomes from Mil waukee, the beer capital -quickly protested. He wrote Brightman in late December, "If you are as big a man as I think you are, you will take Lumber Drying By Forced Air Reduces Costs ' Corvallis - Cost of shipping lumber can be reduced by drying 11 with forced circula tion of the air, according to C. J. Kozlik, In charge of studies on wood seasoning at the Ore gon Forest Research center here. Reduction in shipping charges more than offset cost of forced-air drying in tests conducted at Lebanon in the Willamette Valley and at Med ford In southern Oregon, , For the tests, lumber was (tacked two rows wide and three tiers high along both Ides of an 8-foot alley. Por table aluminum roofs protect ed the lumber. Flve-nnd six foot fans powered by electric motors were placed at each end of the alley. Fans operat ed automatically and ceased operation when "relative hu midity exceeded 90 per cent, Kozlik said. Unsatisfactory at Medford In the Willamette valley, forccd-air drying was success ful throughout the year. Time required for drying lumber Increased during the winter, but still remained economical ly adequate, High relative hu midities and low temperatures made forced-air drying at Medford appear unsatisfac tory during winter months, tated Kozlik. y Forced-air drying may serve to shorten kiln schedules, but this was not studied In tests It Lebanon and Medford. Information on drying lum ber with forced circulation of Ir Is available from the For est Research center upon re quest.

Mark Hatfield's proposal to do away With the Board of Control nd place the Institutions In to several new departments. He praised Hatfield's reor fanliation plan and snid chief advantage in switching the Institutions Is the "assignment of Institutional responsibili ties to agencies primarily con eerned with the treatment programs." Holmer's statement follow ed a week of criticism con eerning abolition of the Board of Control, which now sets policy for all 11 Institutions. ' Holmer said the board "tends to place the treatment of mental Illness, tuberculosis, delinquency and mental de ficiency as comparable prob lems."

Brightman replied, "We will not take an arbitrary poslgon if a beer company expresses a desire to sponsor part of the inaugural coverage." Bohmfalk's letter was to protest this deciston. So far, there have been no protests from persons for or against deodorants, girdles or brassieres.

The men, reported to be two Army technicians and one from the Navy, were working with the prototype of a small portable nuclear reactor in tended ?or use by the Army to furnish power in remote areas.
