Newspaper Page Text2 B THURSDAY, MARCH 23. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE 229 Million Board Feet of Timber Are In BLM Harvest Plan Prospective purchasers dis cussed plans of the bureau of land management for harvest ing timber in the Medford dis trict during fiscal year 1962 at a meeting Tuesday, ac : cording to Ross A. Young blood, district manager. Approximately 229 million board feet of BLM timber in 70 tracts are included in the tentative plan. " The timber sale plan is de veloped through the consid eration by professional forest ers of such factors as timber maturity and condition, access and dispersal tracts, he said. The volume of timber to be harvested each year is govern ed by the sustained yield ca pacity of the lands. Point! of Diicuision Points of discussion, follow ing description of the sale plan, included derivation of logging cost data used in es tablishing appraised prices, the need for more lumber re covery studies of species other than Douglas fir, timber sale contract bond requirements, road construction costs, and prevention of soil erosion, Persons having knowledge of the location of windthrown timber were invited to advise the bureau of that fact. Medford district staff for esters also briefly reviewed the easement acquisition and access road construction pro gram, reforestation activities, and the provision of public recreation sites on BLM land. Representatives of 18 log ging and milling firms and two forest industry associa tions were present at the meet ing which was held in the BLM timber sale hall on Armory dr. Publication of the final 1B2 timber sale plan will be about June 1, according to Youngblood.

Coleman said In final In structions: "It Is my opinion, both as a matter of law and fact, that no verdict or final determination of any Issue was over reached." Only an Opinion Coleman emphasized, how ever, that he was only offer ing an opinion and that the decision was entirely the jury's. Carole's attorney last week told the jury to dis regard her part In the double Jeopardy plea.

The same day, Williamson, an elder of the United Church of Canada of which the Mc Nevins were members, called on McNevin and said he had been chosen by the kidnapers as "go-between" to deliver the ransom money. Williamson said he had found a note on the visor of his automobile instructing him to get the ransom money and then rendezvous at a local drive-in restaurant. The ransom note had de manded "$25,000 in used fives, tens and twenties" and cautioned McNevin not to con tact the police. "You will re ceive a call any time afler 9 p.m. with further Instruc tions," the note said. "Follow instructions and your son will be home shortly after mid night tomorrow."

The scoutmaster was found dead several hours later in the base ment of his ranch-style home a shotgun at his side. In a suicide note to his wife he said that he was having finan cial difficulties. Police refused to disclose the full contents of the suicide note but said it appeared thai only "one person was in volved" In the kidnaping.
