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. Research on seasoning of

Holmer Praises
Hatfield's Plans
Salem -MM-State Finance
Director Freeman Holmer snid
Wednesday Oregon's stale In
atltutions would operate more
effectively under Gov. 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." IMPERIAL LINE

steps to revoke the ruling
singling out beer as inap
propriate for the inaugural."
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.
Geologists Wscover
Skull of Reptile
Brisbane, Australia (Sci
ence Service) - Geologists
have found and identified the
fossil skull of a 100,000)0-year-old
fish-eating monster.
It was found more than 400
miles from Queensland's
ftastline. The skull is the first
of its kind yet discovered and
is a relic of the Mesoroic era
when Queensland artesian
basin was a fish-infested trop
ical inland sea.
It belongs to a 30-foot-long
reptile called Piosaurus. The
Piosaurus resembled a giant
snake with a turtle's body,
but with a comparatively
small head.

The station has 23 reactors,

for its establishment In South
