o neuoerger Deaieves Evidence Refutes Lumber Criticism Washington - Sen. Maurine Neuberger of Oregon said to day the factual evidence of sale reports "appears to re fute" criticism by industry spokesmen and some Con gressmen that Forest Service timber pricing policies have been "unrealistic" and a cause of increased unemployment in Oregon and Washington. The Oregon senator disclos ed that the Industrial Forestry association had sent her a tele gram on Jan. 25 stating "what we need is realistic National Forest timber appraisals. De spite steady decline of lumber and plywood prices for more than a year, Forest Service appraised timber prices have not declined accordingly. This has aggravated the cost-price squeeze on forest products. It has increased unemploy ment. It will increase further unless National Forest timber is appraised at what it is worth." In a reply to H. O. Puhn, president of the Industrial Forestry association, Shelton, Wash., Senator Neuberger re ported: "Listed below are the ap praised and bid prices paid for the timber sold in western Oregon for each quarter of calendar year 1960: "Looking at these figures, I notice that the Forest Service appraised prices dropped over Volumes MI1K 212.202 997.372 445,719 365,130 2.020.513 Quarter 1 2 3 4 FUND RAISER Malcolm Dooley, 31, makes a point in New York City as he discusses his entrance into the Medico fund raising capaign.

MEDFORD INSURANCE Agency PHONE SP 3-7343 27 North Holly Street $6 during the year, but de spite this fact bid values con tinued to exceed appraised prices. Under these circum stances I am at a loss to see how I could present a con vincing argument to the new Secretary of Agriculture that Forest Service appraisals are unrealistic." Mrs. Neuberger suggested that association members com pile data from the statements of fair market value for tim ber which they file annually with the Internal Revenue Service "so that the Secretary of Agriculture will be able to fully understand the extent to which National Forest timber appraisals may be unrealistic measured against the indus try's own objective record of valuations." The senator told Puhn that she would be will ing to arrange a personal con ference with top administra tion officials to enable mem bers of the association to pre sent such figures. Senator Neuberger said that one company objecting to the Forest Service appraisals had been a successful bidder in five Forest Service sales dur ing 1960. The company pur chased 28-million board feet of timber which had been ap praised at $599,630 by the Forest Service. The company's bids totaled $823,615, or an average of 37 per cent above appraised price.

Travis' 84th Air Transport Canada Said Not Encouraging Trade With Castro s Washington -IUPII- Fears that Canada has stepped in to fill the trade void between Cuba and the United States are un founded, according to a pri vate research group. The Canadian - American Committee" said Cuban propa ganda efforts and exaggerated press reports have given the impression that Canada is en couraging trade with the regime of Cuban Premier Fi del Castro. "It should be emphasized that the Canadian government has taken no initiative to en courage such trade," the group said. "The Cuban govern ment's flamboyant claims that Canada can be closely linked with iron curtain countries as 'friends' of Cuba leaves most Canadians disturbed." No Encouragement The committee said the Ca nadian government "has pro vided no special encourage ment to Canadian business to explore export opportunities in Cuba and it has taken no action to encourage imports from Cuba." The committee, composed of business, agricultural, labor and professional leaders from both sides of the border, was established three years ago to Auto Industry Layoffs Will Total 80,000 By Detroit -fflPD- Layoffs in the sagging auto industry were expected to'increase this week and will total 80,000 workers by Feb. 13.

It is headed by Robert M. Fowler, president of the Ca nadian Pulp & Paper Associa tion, and R. Douglas Stuart, board chairman of the Quaker Oats Co. "Economic relations be tween Canada and Cuba did not deteriorate after the Cas tro revolution," the commit tee said, and thus "Canada ob viously did not have a basis similar to that of the United States for economic sanctions against Cuba in its own na tional interests." The Cuban government has sought to encourage the view that Canada can fill the econ omic gap created by the U.S. embargo against Cuba, the group said in a report. Enthusiasm Lacking "It is important for people in the United States to recog nize that this is propaganda and, moreover, that such prop aganda is not received with any enthusiasm in Canada," the committee said. The report said that no "serious conflict of views be tween Canadian and U.S. government officials" exists on the question of Canadian trade with Cuba.

Well, the best way to do it, according to an article in the Schering Scien c e Bulletin, is to raise your tongue and place the pill on the floor of the mouth, just behind your lower teeth. Keeping your tongue raised (which also means little or no taste sensation) drink a glass of water, forgetting the pill behind your teeth While you are thus engaged in swallowing, the pi It will be washed down your throat usually with no taste or feeling. Keeping the pill behind your lower teeth gives you an almost sure guarantee that even the bitterest medication will give you no taste unless you wait for too long a period of time before swallowing. Every family needs many small, personal items, such as tooth brushes, to keep the daily routine of life rolling smoothly along.

Regime "At the present time, Cana da is not permitting the trans shipment of any U.S. goods to Cuba, and the Cuban govern ment has been informed that this ban will be strictly en forced," the committee said. "At the same time, the Cana dian government has made clear that no shipments of Canadian strategic equipment will be permitted." Expansion Limited The group said two major factors will tend to limit the expansion of Canada's trade with Cuba. These are the in ability of the Castro regime to pay for goods and the limited range of products that Canada can economically export. "Thus Canada is not a ready source of supply for many of the goods that Cuba may need in place of goods previously purchased in the United States," the committee said. "Underlying the whole sub ject of Cuban trade is the fundamentally important fact that close and friendly rela tions between Canada and the United Mates must receive high priority," the report added. ..:..,.,,,...,,,,,.:.,,.,..,.,,.,:..,-,,, .,. . ..,.,, iJSi, JhtSttSbki Nothing dampens the good service of the man at the sign of the Chevron.

Ganey said he gave prison sentences to the individuals regarded as the policy-setters in the price-fixing and liid rigging ring.

When a widow applies for benefits, she should, if pos sible, bring with her the death certificate, the marriage certificate, her birth certificate, and the birth certifi cates of any children eligible for payments. If either the deceased worker or the widow were mar ried to someone else before they married one another, the widow should bring along a death certificate for the former spouse, divorce papers if the marriage ended in divorce, family letters or other documents, or even newspaper clippings reporting the death or divorce. However, the widow should not delay filing her applica tion because she does not have some of these papers available. Parents generally must file proof that they were sup ported by a son or daughter. This must be done within two (2) years after the insured worker's death. Even parents who will not have reached retirement age by the end of the 2 year period must file this proof of support within that time, Doesn't the Funeral Director take care of the Social Security Lump Sum Death Payment application? The Funeral Director can help the survivors in this matter, but the actual application must be made by a member of the family in most cases. Under a new social security ruling, the lump sum death payment can now be paid directly to the funeral home to help pay the most cases, the application and authorization for this payment must be taken care of by a member of the family.
