Home Office - 2 East Main, Mcdford Ashland Branch - 337 East Main, Ashland Alaska), has asked President Kennedy to send at least two American destroyers to Alas ka water to halt "an outrag eous foreign aggression" of a Russian fishing fleet. The 18-boat Russian fleet moved into the Albatross Banks southeast of Kodiak is land about one week ago and forced half a dozen American fishing boats to abandon the I area.

Canadian Lumber TelS Arguments Against Quotas Washington - (DPI) - Cana dian lumbermen unveiled all their arguments at once Fri day in an effort to convince the U. S. Tariff Commission that the United States would suffer not gain if it re stricted imports of Canadian softwood lumber. The Council of Forest In dustries of British Columbia asked that all cross-examination be postponed until all its witnesses testified on this fourth day of the tariff com mission hearing. Keynoted by B. M. Hoff meistcr, president of the coun cil, the witnesses said: The United States for 20 years has consumed more softwood lum ber than it produces and needs the imports. Better Profits The U. S. wood products industry has made better pro fits by shifting logs to other purposes, such as plywood and veneer, so that lumber areas, particularly Oregon, have gained even though soft wood lumber production may have declined. The lumber industry now is on the downward edge of a cycle due to housing industry conditions, and will pick up as the cycle turns upward. Hoffmeisters also conceded that Canada needs the $260 million a year business. Tongue Point Offer Asked in Writing Astoria - il'Pli The Astoria City Council has stated that lumbrrmrn who have offered to purchase the abandoned Tongue Point Naval Station for $1 million must put their offer in writinc. The offer for the station and adjacent naval housing was made earlier by Howard John son and Peter McCoy, opera tors of Astoria area logging companies. There has been no other firm ofier. Johnson and McCoy said the property would be made avail able for resale or lease to in dustrial firms if they pur chased it. The station was abandoned by the Navy last ear. 1 Thornton Supports Medicare Measure Milwaukie - il'PH - Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton, Democratic candidate for Governor, said Friday night the need for President Ken nedy's Medicare plan under Social Security is critical. "The President's plan is soundly financed and fulfills a critical need for prudent and effective program of health insurance for senior citizens," he told a group of senior citizens at Willamette View Manor here. Thornton said thai if elect ed governor he would "place the full power of the gov ernor's office'' behind pas sage of Kennedy's plan by the next Congress. "On this I differ widely with Mr. Hatfield." meaning Republican Gov. Mark Hat field, "and his Kerr-Mills pro grain which is working so poorly in our slate '' On the topic of welfare, Thornton reiterated that "per sonal and spiteful politics must be removed from the state welfare program." He said he favors new emphasis on rehabilitation of welfare recipients, and expansion of collections from runaway ! fathers. Airline Pilots May Go to Trial Washington -IUPD- Federal Aviation Administration Chief Najeeb E. Halaby has said at least three airline captains may be prosecuted as a result of photographs showing pi lots asleep, reading at the con trols and letting stewardesses fly their planes. . The photographs and addi tional testimony by flight en gineers and former steward esses were the subject of Con gressional hearings earlier this week. Halaby told a news confer ence the crews of 18 flights have been identified from the first set of pictures. A second set still is being checked. "The crews have been In terviewed and we have 'prima facie' cases - meaning solid evidence - against at least three captains on charges of being inattentive to duty," Halaby said. He said the agency's investigation thus far has produced no evidence that the violations still are prevalent. "We just cannot go on be ing the best customer of the United States unless we can sell some goods to get U. S. dollars," he said. Hoffmeistcr quoted a state ment submitted to the com mission by A. F. Hartung. president of the International Woodworkers of America, arguing against restrictions of imports from Canada. "Our contention is that U.S. producer have not been in jured and that no additional tariffs or other restrictions are warranted at this time," Hartung's statement said. Lost Jobs U.S. industry groups have said that lumber mills have closed and thousands of work ers lost their jobs because of competition from imported softwood from Canada. They asked the tariff com mission for a quota of 10 per cent of U.S. consumption. This would cut Canada's soft wood lumber sales in the United States by about one-third-the maximum permis sible tariff, and reinstatement of the requirement that im ported lumber be stamped as to country of origin. The commission must de cide whether the industry has been damaged or is being threatened by increased im ports due to past tariff re ductions. Although the hearing is ex pected to conclude next week, no decision is likely until at least January. w it For STATE REPRESENTATIVE Outstanding Freshmin Uaiflator 1961 Soiiion Pd. Pol. Adv. S. V.
