Q

Interior Department Regime Being Formed by Stewart Udall
THURSDAY. JJUftft8'X W

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.

Soviet Relations Would Improve
With Release of Captive Airmen
Editor's noie: Two Amer
ican Air Force captains are
languishing in a Russian
jail, accused of espionage
but not yet tried and not
knowing their fate. 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

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

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

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

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

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
