Sritish Goluiiibia Log Export Method Proposed for Oregon Lumbermen Voice Tentative Approval oi Plan Salem-AIPD - Imitation of British Columbia's method of controlling log export wai proposed Tuesday. Joseph McCracken of the Western Forest Industries As sociation said Oregon should think about replacing its pres ent prohibition on log exports with the Canadian province's permit method. He told the House Natural Resources Committee British Columbia Is managing to pro vide mills with all the new logs they need while still ex porting surplus logs. Oregon's present law, pass ed two years ago, prohibits the export of logs cut from state or county-owned forests. The idea Is to have them pro cessed in Oregon. System Explained McCracken said the British Columbia system works this way: A logger must offer his logs to at least three local opera tions, at the local, not the ex port price. He must sell them to a local bidder. If he has three refusals, he can then apply for a govern- ment perimt to export the logs probably at a higher price. If the government agrees there is no local market, it will grant an export permit good for one month. A handful of Oregon lum bermen at the hearing ex pressed tentative approval of the proposal. McCracken said a key ad- vantage In the permit system is that it is flexible enough to reflect constant, and often local, changes in log supply and demand. He said unrestricted ex ports put mills in a price squeeze caused by Japan bid ding logs up while Canada keeps finished lumber prices down. The permit system, he said, would permit some ex ports while still keeping log prices down for Oregon mills. The McCracken proposal came after House Speaker Clarence Barton asked the committee for an amendment to the 1961 law to exempt Fort Orford white cedar. He said the export market is the only market for white cedar logs other than the arrow in dustry in the Coos Bay area. Rep. William Holmstrom (D-Gearhart) said Clatsop county was facing a similar problem over a surplus of certain kinds of Hemlock logs. He said, however, the British Columbia system would take care of the Clat sop problem. Rep. W. O. Kelsay, a Rose burg lumberman, said Japan is expected to launch a new buying drive for logs. "Japan seems willing to pay more to keep the pay roll dollars in Japan," he add ed. "We should be taking the same attituted." Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1963 Heart Fund Drive Benefits Kidney Blood Flow Study Portland - Renograms, used primarily to detect abnormal ities in renal or kidney func tion, are being used by Dr. James S. Arnold of Provi dence hospital here in a study of kidney blood flow. Dr. Arnold's study is being financed through an $11,383 grant from the Oregon Heart association. The grant - made possible through contributions to the association's February Heart fund campaign - will provide Dr. Arnold with an opportunity to verify his hy pothesis regarding the rate of accumulation of radio-active iodine labeled "hippurate" In the kidneys. He feels that the rate of such accumulation will be proportionate to the rate .of blood flow through the kid neys. The grant will make pos sible extensive studies on a number of subjects to provide the quantitative substantia tion of his theory. A direct measurement of blood flow through the renal arteries of subjects at the same time a renogram is being taken will provide a check on the valid ity of findings. Cauits High Blood Pressure These studies are geared to further develop and test a procedure for detecting a type of kidney aliment which causes high blood pressure In one out of about every six people suffering from high blood pressure the disease is caused by narrowing of an artery leading to a kidney, Dr. Arnold explained. In recent years surgical techniques have been devel oped for correcting these nar rowed kidney arteries. It is Important to determine which of the patients with high blood pressure have narrow- Foreign Briefs COMMON MARKET MINISTERS OPEN TALKS Brusstls-WrD-Tht Common Market Council of Ministers opened its second day of agricultural talks today in an ifort to clear up controversy and cement relations among Its members. BRITISH LABOR LEADER GOING TO RUSSIA London-tlPli-Harold Wilson, new leader of the opposition Labor parly, plans to follow up a visit to Washington with a trip to Russia.

Garrigus of the assembly education com mittee today opened an attack on so-called frill courses in California's schools. 'They are luxuries we can no longer afford," said the Reed ley Democrat. He proposed legislation to eliminate from the required course of study In elementary schools such subjects as mor also manners, citizenship, fire prevention, accident preven tion and public safety. The lawmaker said that pressures of "responsibility" on the state's schools are re quiring them to provide a "more basic education." Priority Suggested As a result, he suggested setting a priority for the "most important subjects." 'Items such as morals, man ners and citizenship and such are the proper responsibility of the home and can best be taught there," said Garrigus. "If the home doesn t prac tice or stress these things, the effects of the school to pro mote them will fail and if the parents do their Job right on these matters, there will be no need for them in the school." Would Reserve Tim In short, said Garrigus: "What can best be taught in the home should be taught there and school time should be reserved for subjects which can only be handled right by the school." Other action: Supreme Court - McAtcer called upon Gov. Edmund G. Brown and Finance Director Hale Champion to halt their efforts to move the state su preme court to Sacramento. Drivers - The asscm b I y transportation and commerce committee approved a bill by Assemblyman Jerome Waldic (D-Antioch) to allow Judges to take away Juvenile drivers' li censes for a traffic violation for more than 30 days, the limit under present law. 1.

Thousands Fall Victim To Flu Along East Coast By United Press International Residents of the West Coast today were urged to take pre cautionary measures as a wave of respiratory ailments continued unabated in the eastern half of the nation. Outbreaks of influenza re- mained at epidemic propor tions in New York, Ohio, and the Southeast while thousands fell victim to common flu, Asian flu and Just plain colds in the Midwest. The West Coast thus far has been spared the misery of a flu outbreak. But authorities fear the sickness might be moving slowly toward the West Coast, possibly hitting in about two weeks. At Los Angeles, the city health officer said the trend of outbreaks in other parts of the nation indicated the west ern movement of the influ enza. He urged immunization shots as an effective means of combatting the virus. New York City apparently was hardest hit by the influ enza bug. New York City Health Com missioner George James said Tuesday there were 984 more deaths than normal during the first seven weeks of this year. He said the situation was not as serious as the 1957 siege during which 750,000 persons were affected. Six counties in West Vir ginia reported 1,000 new cases. Last week's count in that state was 18,044, more Dun h 100 per cent increase over the preceding week. Alabama officials said the state showed signs of being in an influenza epidemic with 156 new cases reported Sun day and Monday. Michigan reported at least a half dozen confirmed cases of Asian flu, with absenteeism on the in crease in Detroit. Ohio sources said the first confirmed cases of the Asian type have been turned up in Columbus and Cincinnati since early in the winter of 1960. Respiratory infections, none confirmed as Asian flu, also raced through Indiana where action was delayed in the House of Representatives due to missing members. Hun dreds of school children miss ed classes. Memphis, Tenn., reported 1,000 cases of influenza and hospital visiting was restrict ed in Memphis, Bristol and Johnson City to prevent spreading of the disease. Knoxvllle's Mayor John Dun can was down with pneu monia. Hospital visiting was halt ed completely in Anderson, S.C., after the first case of Asian flu was confirmed.

The public address system Dr. Noyes Named Department Head E u g e n e Dr. Richard M. Noyes, processor of chemis try at the University of Ore gon since 1958, has been named head of the univer sity's department of chemis try. Dr. Noyes, who will assume his new position in Feptem ber 1963, is replacing Dr. Francis J. Reithel, head of the department since 1956. Dr. Reithel has resigned In order to devote full time to his re search and teaching activities. Dr. Noyes' appointment is subject to approval by the state board of higher educa tion. A Harvard graduate, summa cum laude, in 1939, Dr. Noyes received his doctor of philo sophy degree in 1942 from California Institute of Tech nology. His professional career has included teaching at Califor nia Institute of Technology and at Columbia university, where he was on the faculty from 1946 until 1958 when he moved to Oregon. For one year, 1955-56, he was a visit ing professor at the Univer sity of Leeds, England, under a Guggenheim Fellowship. in the Senate is connected with a speaker in the gov ernor's office. The governor can simply turn a switch, and listen in on Senate floor de bate. Said Musa, "the Senate takes a dim view of having floor debates piped into his office. "I think it Is a breach of decorum." "I didn't know the senate was bugged, although I knew the House was connected to the governor's office by Gov. (Robert D.) Holmes," Musa said. The Senate President add ed, "the governor is always welcome in the gallery." When asked by a reporter why he didn't cut the wires, Musa replied "I don't know where they are." Travis Cross, the governor's press secretary, said the Sen ate was wired to the gover nor's office when the loud speaker system was installed in the senate in 1959. "We don't listen much now," Cross added. "The ses sions aren't as lively as they were under Senate President (Walter J.) Pearson" who served In 1959. "The governor can't come into the chambers and hear what's going on. If he's on the floor, people start talking to him, if he's in the gallery, the school children gather around ... he can't hear any thing that way." Musa indicated he was sending a Senate representa tive to the governor today to discuss the situation. "Maybe the Senate should I install a speaker so we can listen In on the governor's j "That might be very interesting."
