o o o o o o o o o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Q o Interior Department Regime Being Formed by Stewart Udall THURSDAY. JJUftft8'X W B 3 By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - The new Interior Department re gime is beginning to take -J shape under S e c reta ry designate Stewart Udall. James K. Carr, chair man of the C a 1 i f o r nia Water Com mission, is re- omun portedly in line for the No. 2 slot, that of undersecretary. This is the job to which another Cali fornian, Ralph Tudor, was ap pointed when the Eisenhower Administration was organized eight years ago. Carr has had experience in life Washington as a member of the staff of the House Interior committee. He served as an engineering consultant in the early fifties. Shunted Aside If Carr is appointed, it will mean that an ardent public power champion, Clyde Ellis, was shunted aside in his per sonal campaign for this high post. Ellis, lobbyist here for the Rural Electric Co-Opcra-tives, had tried for the top spot which went to Udall. He then tried for second place. Carr is considered sym pathetic to public power, how ever, but his appointment should be much more favor ably received by such groups as the National Reclamation association than would that of Ellis. A factor in the selection of Carr is reportedly the ancient d i s pute between California and Arizona over Colorado river water rights. Udall is from Arizona, so presumably the appointment of Carr will calm any California fears. An Idaho man is set to be come assistant secretary for public land management. He is John A. Carver, administra tive assistant to Sen. Frank Church of Idaho for the past four years. Practiced Law Carver practiced law in Boise for 10 years before com ing to Washington .with Church. Previously, he served in the War Department be fore and after World War II. During the war he served with the Strategic Bombing Com mand. Born and reared in Ida ho, Carver took his law degree at Georgetown univer s i t y here.

Will they be freed as a gesture of good will to the Kennedy administration or will there be another show trial? This Moscow dispatch passed by censors assesses the situation. By ROBERT J. KORENGOLD United Press International Moscow - (l!PH - Western diplomats in Moscow said they are convinced there can be no real improvement in American-Soviet relations un til the two captive RB47 air men are freed and sent home. But will they be released? How soon can Air Force Capts. Freeman B. Olmstead of El mira; N.Y., and John R. JIc Cone of Tonganoxic, Kan., ex pect to be freed from a Mos cow prison? They have been held in communicado since July 1. The charge is espionage, but there has been no trial. They were the two surviv ors of the RB47 reconnais sance plane shot down over the Barents sea July 1. Four other airmen died. 1 Unlike U2 Incident Unlike the case of U2 pilot Gary Powers, who was ad mittedly on a spy mission over Siberia when shot down, the United States has insisted the To get off on the right foot with the Kennedy administra tion, the Russians may seek to release the two men with out losing face, in the opinion of Western diplomats. (In Washington Soviet dip lomats have vaguely hinted that the men may be freed.) Moscow diplomats agree that no action will be taken until Kennedy takes office Jan. 20 and. President Eisen hower, now a hated "imperial ist." is out. The case of Powers, sen tenced to 10 years in captivi ty, is quite different. He is believed at the Vladimir pen al work camp near Moscow, making envelopes. Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev has proposed making the U2 flight a thing of the past, a forgotten issue between two great powers. Hard Time Explaining , But the Kremlin would have a hard time explaining to its people - and to the Red Chi nese allies - the idea that Powers should be freed as goodwill gesture. It is a rare Soviet citizen who does not feel that Powers deserved severe punishment. Furthermore, in the opinion of westerners in Moscow, the United Stales wants McCone and Olmstead released be fore anything else. In any general warming up of relations. Powers quite pos sibly would be freed. But it would be entirely incidental to the graver American de mands for the return of Mc Cone and Olmstead. Grange News Eagle Point Richard Thorpe, chief of the Moon Mountain Indians and his Indian dancers were featured at the Jan. 3 meeting of the Eagle Point Grange. Bob Thorpe and Steve Wil liams gave several Indian dances and then closed their part of the program with a rendition of the Lord's Prayer. C. C. Hoover told an Indian story of Chief Falling Rock. The Grange opened in rcg RB47 was not spying and was! "1" session after the program downed over international waters. The Soviet Union charged the plane was over Russian territory and was spying. Since the election of John F. Kennedy, there has been a spate of goodwill statements from the Kremlin. All are so much ballyhoo without some such concrete act as the release and Olmstead. Although no American rep resentative ever has been per mitted to see them, diplomatic negotiatio: have gone on at le-ytf- Victor Croxton, state grange lecturer, was introduced. He was accompanied by Mrs. Croxton. Other visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Olin Poe, Mrs. Mervin Hixson and Mrs. Chris tine Dinsmorc from the Phoe nix Grange. Hoover, in his community service report, told about the Eagle Point Grange participa- of McCone tion in Uie starting of the de velopment of the Agate Recre ational area. This is a plan to convert Whetstone creek into a scries of lakes and reser voirs for fishing and recre atii;.. The Grange went on record as favoring this plan In the community service tree planting project, Hoover said he had received another shipment oof trees and it is hoped that the Grange will be able to give one to everyone in the Eagle Point and White City area who wishes a tree. He also stated that the Grange is giving plaques to several 4-H and Boy Scout clubs for their participation in the tree planting program. Reactivation of the hospital in addition to the domiciliary center is another project of the community service com mittee. Members of the Grange serving on this com mittee are Hoover. Steve Wil son, Kenneth Cearley. Wilford Davies, and Robert Bitterling. Home Economics club chair man Mrs. Lester Wcrtz in her quarterly report, said that Mrs. Glen Hale, Mrs. C. E. Smith. Mrs. Gertrude Stanley, Mrs. Augusta Perry and Mrs. Ethel Coy were sewing for the veterans once a month at the Whit1' Cily Domiciliary. The assistant secretary for water and power is expected to be Ken Holum of Groton, S.D. He has been active in the rural electric co-op move ment. Holum will replace Fred Aandahl. the only one of the assistant secretaries ap pointed during the tenure of Secretary Douglas McKay who lasted to the end of the Eisenhower regime. Determination of the two other assistant secretaries ap parently has not yet been made. Al Day, former Oregon Fish commission director, has been mentioned as possible assistant secretary for fish and wildlife. Day was director of the Fish and Wildlife Service during the Truman Adminis tration. Day Replaced When McKay came in. Day was replaced by John L. Far ley of California. Farley was eased out by Secretary Fred A. Seaton during a 1956 re organization in which Arnie J. Suomela of Astoria, Ore., was elevated to the newlv created post, Commissioner of Fish and Wildlife, just be neath the assistant secretary for this function. Ross Leffler of Pittsburgh, a favorite of the organized conservation ists, holds the post for which Day has been a rumored choice. The bureau of reclamation is one Interior agency whose head will not be replaced by the new Kennedy Administra tion. Commissioner Floyd E. Domincy is reported to be as sured of retention by Udall. Dominey was promoted to this post by Seaton from within the ranks to succeed another career man, Wilbur Dex heimer, who served under McKay and left to do private engineering work. Bureau of Indian affairs will get a new man to replace Glenn L. Emmons. Reportedly Will Rogers Jr., a part Chero kee, declined the offer to be Indian commissioner. Gov. Phileo Nash o Wisconsin, an anthropologist w h o special ized in Indian affairs, is a con tender. New BLM Director The new director of the bureau of land management is expected to be Karl S. Land strom of Lebanon, Ore., who is now on the staff of the House Interior committee where he became acquainted with Udall, who was a com mittee member. Before that, Landstrom served as lands of ficer for BLM in its Washing ton office from 1953 to 1959. and as regional chief at Port land for the BLM division of lands and minerals. He is a graduate of the University of Oregon with a law degree from George Washington uni versity here. Landstrom is to succeed Ed ward Woozley of Idaho, who is reported to be in line for a field post with BLM after Jan. 20. Woozley was Idaho's Land Commission before coming to Washington under McKay. He now has civil service status, but has chosen not to try to hang onto his policy-making position as his predecessor did. Woozley succeeded Marion Clawson, who made an issue of his civil service status and tried to resist being replaced with a new man when McKay took over in 1953. Clawson was to be assigned to oilier BLM duties but quit and went to work for a private organi- Mother Decides To Remarry After First Is Annulled London -!VPP- Clifford and married life, the madder she Joan Chambers always felt they were an average married couple. For 1(1 years they lived to gether. They had five children and the usual number of quar rels, laughs, tears, joys and heartaches. Neither thought about what the choice would be if they had it to do all over again until they got that chance. After one prolonged argu ment, Mrs. Chambers went to court. An investigation showed Mrs. Chambers was only 15-bclow the age of con sent when she wed Chambers in 1944 and the court annulled the marriage. Clifford tried to make up with his wife and proposed to her a second lime. She said no. Mrs. Chambers said the more she thought about her zalion, ture. Resources for the Fu- got. She said the only thing she could recall were the "fights, big and small." that she had with her husband dur ing their marriage. Realizes Something Else Then she realized something else. "In IB years of married life, I never once had a vacation," she told the court Tuesday. Her husband began to get worried and told her, "let's get married again right away." But Mrs. ChamlxTs shook her head and said her mind was made up. "I am tired of it all," she j said. "I want to rest. If we goti married again, it would be! more of the same tiling." . Tuesday night, Mrs. Cham bers and her husband slept in separate beds in separate rooms of their home in Derby shire.
