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."

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

Frill Courses
In California
Schools Attacked
Sacramento - (UPD - Chair
man Charles B. 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

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.

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

sity of Leeds, England, under
a Guggenheim Fellowship.

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."
