Grceg agricultural officials are impressed with the high quality and purity of the seed shipments which more than meet international trade agreement standards. Rice said.

Tribune 12, 1962 Tentative Okay Given to Increase In Allowable Cut Tentative approval of a 25 statistics which are collected per cent increase in the Rogue in the field every 10 years. River National forest s allow-1 N more timber may be cut able annual cut has been granted by the chief of the forest service, C. E. Brown, forest supervisor, announced today.

Brown pointed out that the allowable cut is based on new forest inventories and growth State Board of Control Bypasses Emergency Board Salem - HIP!) - The State Board of Control today de liberately bypassed the State Emergency board in a prison fence project, and challenged it to bring a lawsuit to test its authority to approve proj ects. The Board of Control is made up of Gov. Mark Hat field, Secretary of State How ell Appling Jr and State Treasurer Howard C. Belton, all Republicans. Emergency Requests i The Emergency Board is a group of legislators who meet between sessions to act on emergency requests for mon ey from state agencies. The prison fence project is not an emergency, and t)ie- $12,485 for it is included in a Jump sum appropriation made by the 1961 legislature to the Board ,Pf Control for construction at institutions. Ordinarily, all Board of Control projects go before the emergency board. .Since the 1961 legislature, the emergen cy board has assumed wider powers in this field. Hatfield and the other two control board members have complained about this before, declaring that the emergency board is infringing on admin istration. Controlled by Democrats The Emergency Board is headed by Senate President Harry B o 1 v i n (D-Klamath Falls) a n d is controlled by Democrats. In Klamath Falls, Boivin said he was somewhat shock ed at the Board of Control's action, and declared that the emergency board does not step on the toes of state agencies. "The Board of Control," Boivin said, "evidently has a new theme song - 'don't fence me in'." "If the Board of Control ig nores us. I don't see how we I can reach them," Boivin said, ' adding: "But of course we do appropriate money." Canadian Band to Appear in Ashland Ashland The Vancouver Junior band, choice of the Se attle World's Fair to represent all of Canada, will appear in the Ashland Fourth of July parade.

MAY GIVE IN Washington - HOT - Admin istration forces may give In without a fight Wednesday to Republican demands for a 1 hillinn cut in the $308 billion national debt limit requested by President Kennedy, Rep. Wilbur D. Mills said today. 57th Year Price 10 Cents No. 71 Ulan win DC grown, lie auueu. Divided Into Categories The new allowable cut is divided into several cate gories, representing different objectives of management of resources. Brown said. The basic harvest, cut from areas which are primarily timber production, has been set at 158 million board feet. The cut from restricted areas will be 10 million board feet, and the cut from thinning of dense stands of timber less than 70 years old will be 1 million board feet, Brown Said. Tentative cuts of 2.400 cords of lodgepole pine and 9 million board feet of dead material salvage also have been calculated. The new total green cut of 169 million board feet rep resents a 25 per cent increase over the present 135 million board feet allowable cut. Basic Harvest The basic harvest, or 158 million board feet, must come from areas described in the Multiple Use plan as timber production areas, while the re stricted area cut will be care fully removed from areas classed as recreation, scenic, highway protection or water shed management, he said. Material taken from the re stricted management areas will be on a natural rotation basis, which means that trees will be cut at the rate they would normally die. Purpose htiof this method of cutting is to insure the safety of peo ple using the areas, to reduce fire hazard, to maintain a pleasing view unobstructed by dead trees, and to keep the timber stand healthy. The thinning cut and lodge pole pine cut depend on de velopment of markets for this material. Brown said. The cuts will be designed to in crease growth and quality of the final harvest cut. Brown said the timber sale program for the fiscal year starting July 1 will be fi nanced on the basis of the new allowable cut so the added timber will be avail able to the lumber industry in the coming year.

JFK Meets With Task Force to Explore Problem Session Described As 'Most Helpful' Washington -it'Pr Presi-' dent Kennedy's business task force has agreed to try to find ways of shutting off the foreign drain on U.S. gold. Kennedy held a meeting with the task force, headed by U.S. Steel board Chairman Roger Blougli, tor an nour Monday. The White House said the meeting was most helpful." White House press secre tary Pierre Salinger said the task force agreed to examine steps the government is tak ing to stem the flow of Amer-. ican dollars abroad. The businessmen will make sug gestions on the subject to Kennedy when they feel it would be "helpful or pertin ent," Salinger said. Cooperation 'Most Important' Kennedy, Salinger said, feels the cooperation of the task force "is most impor tant, the kind of cooperation that can be most helpful in business and government." The task force was set up by Blough several weeks ago at Kennedy's suggestion after Blough asked how businers leaders could help economic growth. It was done shortly after the President turned on the steel industry for its plan ned price increase. Kennedy also met with his cabinet Monday after return ing frum Yale, where he made a commencement ad dress strongly urging an ac cord between business and government.
