6 A WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 19, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON N.Y. Publisher Sees Necessity To Reduce Staff New York flJPB New York Daily News Publisher F. M. Flynn said today that if the 12-day-old strike of printers continues, the news paper "will have no alternative but to further reduce our present staff." In a letter to the daily's 8,500 employees, Flynn also said the News might have to increase either the price of the paper to readers or "raise advertising rates . . . more than three times the amount they have ever been raised In the past at one time." Bertram A. Powers, presi dent of the Local 6 of the International Typo graphers Union, was not immediately available for comment. The publisher said it Is in evitable that such increases would drive some advertising to other media, "resulting in less work for newspaper em ployees." "Another alternative might be to increase the price of the News to the reader," Flynn said. "Since these increases would have to be shared with news dealers and whole salers, a Sunday paper priced at 25 cents or a daily paper selling at 8 cents would be needed to pay higher wage costs." And, he added, this probably would cause circula tion to drop. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wlrtz said Tuesday that the strike might continue for the rest of the winter. 150 Million Board Feet of Timber Is Ready for Auction Portland - As of Dec. 1, bureau of land management foresters In Oregon have readied for sale 150 million board feet of salvage timber from the Columbus Day wind storm, BLM Oregon and Washington Director Russell E. Getty announced today. "Several million board feet of salvange timber have al ready been sold," Getty said. "The remainder of the 150 million board feet cruised and appraised so far will be put up for sale during December and January." BLM timber cruisers have j been working on a crash basis measuring and calculat ing the volume of timber that can be recovered from the tangled patches of blown down trees scattered over Pacific Northwest public lands after the Oct. 12 storm. Lay Out Timber Sales Other BLM foresters have been putting in long hours of overtime laying out timber sales, developing access road plans, and appraising timber values so the storm damaged trees can be placed quickly on the market. The cruise and appraisal and sale preparation work will continue unabated for the next several months in an all out attempt to have all the salvage timber sold or ready for sale by the end of 1963. The 150 million board feet of timber presently sold or ready for sale includes 20 mil lion board feet In the BLM Coos Bay district, 45 million board feet in the BLM Eu gene district, 6 million board feet in the BLM Medford dis trict, 49 million board feet in the BLM Roseburg district, and 30 million board feet In the BLM Salem district. Billion Board Feet It is estimated that the Oct. 12 storm knocked down a bil lion board feet of timber on BLM managed lands in Ore gon. This must all be taken out of the woods by the spring of 1964 in order to avoid an epidemic beetle infestation. Getty said the emergency regulations waivers extended to BLM by Secretary Stewart Udall have expedited the timber salvage operation. They give BLM field officials authority to extend existing timber sale contracts, negoti ate new salvage sales, adjust advertising periods and insti tute other emergency meas ures to complete the salvage operation on schedule. fur POST OFFICE Open Until 9 p.m. Ton it .
