About Candidates
(Editor's note: One mem

Medford school, board In
th. annual election May 1.
There are three candidates
for the five-year term. They
are Dr. David C.I Boals,
Gerald M. (Jerry) Gastl
neau, and LeRoy J. Smith.
The following is the first in
a series of three artiolei in
which ' candidates' biogra
phies are presented.)
Dr. David C. Boals, 43 Glen
Oak ct., Medford, established
practice in Medford in 1955,
after moving here from Mult
nomah county, where he was
a member of the Maplewood
district school board.
He was born in v Seattle,
Wash., in 1921, and received
his education in Seattle, at
the University of Washington
and Northwestern university
school of medicine.
He moved to Oregon . in
1948 after he was discharged
from military service as a
captain in the Army medical
corps.
Postgraduate Training
Dr. Boals completed post
graduate training in anesthe
, siology at the Veterans hospi
tal, Portland, and the Univer
sity of Oregon medical school
in 1949, and was appointed to
the faculty of the university's
medical school the same year.
He was appointed associate
clinical professor in anesthe
siology in lgSB, and in 1951
had served as president of the
Oregon Society of Anesthesi
ologists. After moving to Medford,
he was appointed associate
examiner for the American
Board of Anesthesiology in
1958. He is now president of
the medical staff at Rogue
Valley hospital and is deputy
medical director of Jackson
county civil defense.
On School Board
While on the board of the
Maplewood school district,
the district was Involved in a
major building program. Dur
ing Dr. Boals' chairmanship,
the problems relative to an
nexation by adjacent Port
land school district were of
major community interest.
His wife is the former
' Ester Froberg of Chicago, and
they have three children.
Dr. Boals said: "I feel my
experience as a teacher and
school board member will be
of value if I am elected to the
school board of this district. I
believe the school board
should work essentially in an
advisory capacity to the
school administration, but I
feel it is equally important
that school board members re-
DR. DAVID C. BOALS
main well informed on the
issues facing the school ad
ministration so that the best
interests of the children and
all the taxpayers are served.
"We cJnnot afford a second
rate educational program, but
we must realize our respon
sibility to the taxpayers and
permit no expenditure of
funds that are not basic to
the education of our children."

Plans for Manned
Flight in Space
Suffers Setback
Cape Canaveral, Fla.-(UP&-America's
hopes of firing an
astronaut into orbit this year
were all but ended today by
the destruction of an off
course Atlas missile in a cru
cial test shot.
Scientists still planned to
send a man on a shorter trip
into space next wef k, how
ever. An escape system rescued
a space capsule a split-second
before its rocket booster was
blown up by a range safety
officer Tuesday." The func
tioning of the escape system
heightened the chances that
an astronaut may still ride, a
Redstone rocket 115 miles Up
and about 250 miles over the
Atlantic next Tuesday. !
Full Rehearsal Planned ;
The capsule fired Tuesday
carried a robot "astronaut"
which the United States hi(d
hoped to orbit with a modified
Atlas rocket and recover 110
minutes later a full rehear
sal for an orbital flight by
one of the nation's seven
highly trained astronauts.
But the rocket veered from
its flight path arid had to be
destroyed 41 seconds after
blast-off. This was the second
failure in the Atlas' last three
missions in the Project Mer
cury man-into-space program.
Mercury Director Robert R.
Gilruth said later a manned
orbital flight for America "is
still on the schedule for this
calendar year." Other sources
said, however, the prospects
were dim indeed that all the
shots would go "down the
line"' toward a previously
planned November target
date.

Kennedy Receiving
Heavy Volume of
Threatening Mail
Washington-IUPD-The White
House is getting an unusually
heavy volume of 'threatening
and obscene mall addressed to
President Kennedy.
But the flow of anti-Catholic
letters to Kennedy, heavy
just before and after his in
auguration, has slackened. '
The White House mail room
has been referring more than
2,000 threatenting or obscene
letters and , postal cards a
month to the Secret Service
for investigation and possible
prosecuting. The President
never sees them.
3,200 in March
There were 2,300 such re
ferrals in February and 3,200
in March. The March figure
probably was inflated by mail
Kennedy received . between
the election and inauguration
and which was not opened un
til after he took office. The
Secret Service already has re
ceived more than 2,000 letters
this month.
Unless the trend changes,

well above the 17,000 to 20,-
000 pieces of objectionable
mail that Secret Service Chief
U. E. Baughman considers
normal for a single year. ,
The mail it not directed so
much at Kennedy personally
as at the President of the
United States.
Why is Kennedy getting
more of this sort of mall than
his predecessor did? One rea-

Eichmann Said
Co-Author of Plan
To Murder Jews
Jerusalem-dJPI) .- Although
Adolph Eichmann was only e
lieutenant-colonel, he wielded
vast influence on the Ger
man government and was co
author of the plan to extermi
nate the Jews of Europe, the
court was told today.
The prosecution in the trial
of the man accused of the
mass slaughter of six million
Jews succeeded in placing in
to the court record a deposi
tion charging that Eichmann
suggested the "final solution
murder of the Jewish
problem to Nazi Police Chief
Heinrich Hlmmler. Himmler
took it from there and Adolf
Hitler personally issued the
order. ,
The deposition was made
by Dieter Wisliceny, a former
subordinate of Eichmann in
the SS Corps who was execut
ed as a war criminal. Some
thing happened to the great
friendship that once existed
between them, and Wisliceny
offered to cooperate with the
American Army in running
Eichmann down after the war.
The offer was rejected. Wis
liceny said Eichmann and SS
General Odilo Globocnik be
tween them conceived the
"final solution." '
The words from the grave
were a damaging blow to
Elchmann's case, and he seem
ed to realize it. He made
many notes inside his bullet
proof glass box to the left of
the judges' bench. Occasion
ally he frowned as he listen
ed to the reading of the Wis
liceny deposition. Eichmann's
entire defense is built around
the contention that he never
had anything to do with for
mulating Nazi policy, was op
posed to the extermination of
the Jews, and was only a
"small sausage" blindly obey
ing orders.

"AH over the Northwest, towns like this
depend on a stable forest industry"
For that matter, about half the economy of the whole region is based
on the forest industry. That's why it is so important that forest
products mills have a steady log supply. Not only right now, but
for generations - even centuries to come.
We're working toward this goal on our own tree farms.
Every year we harvest a limited amount of old, virgin timber. The cut
is calculated to keep our mills supplied until our second-growth
forests are ready for the first harvests. '
.i
The second-growth timber comes from the natural and artificial
reforestation that takes place annually. Eventually these new forests
will consist of trees of all ages Every year a crop will become old
enough to harvest - and replace. This will give us a fairly uniform
flow of logs year after year, indefinitely.
With a constant raw material supply, our operations can continue to
provide payrolls, taxes and other income without interruption for
the Oregon and Washington communities in which we operate.
Working to maintain
a permanent foreat industry.
