800 Acres of BLM
Forest in Oregon
Thinned in Fall
PORTLAND Young timber
stands on more than 800 acres
managed by the Bureau of Land
Management in Oregon have
been thinned this fall, accord
ing to State Director Russell E.
Getty.
The work has been accom
plished wilh special funds ap
propriated by Congress for the
accelerated public works pro
gram, he said.
Last August $1.7 million was
allocated for BLM projects in
Oregon. About 320 man-months
of employment have been pro
vided since that time, Getty
said. The current program will
extend through January, HKil,
with some contracted projects
not due for completion until
next summer.
Thinning projects, which are
designed to favor young trees
of good quality by releasing
mom from competition, are un
der way in BLM districts wilh
headquarters in Salem, Rose
burg, Lakeview and I'rincvillc.
In Medtord District
In the Medford and Roseburc
districts, pondcrosa pine and
sugar pine seeds were hand
planted on 1.200 acres this fall
under the APW program. Two-year-old
trees were planted dur
ing the Insl two weeks of No
vember on 400 acres in a refor
estation program that will con
tinue in most districts until next
spring, Getty reported.
Oilier projects undertaken in
clude tlie construction of roads
and fire breaks, snag falling,
brush control, fence building,
and installation of public recre
ation facilities. About two-fifths

million was used in Oregon (or
BLM projects during the period
from November, IIK12, to June,

source management work and
provide employment under the
accelerated public works program.
Pennsylvanian
Urged To Run
By Eisenhower
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Republican presidential outlook
appeared more uncertain than
ever today with the announce
ment that Pennsylvania Gov.
William W. Scranton may be
come an active candidate for
the nomination.
Scranton disclosed in Harris
burg, Pa., over the weekend
that former President Dwight
D. Eisenhower had urged him
to run. The governor said he
was giving the suggestion "deep
thought" but was still dis
inclined to become an active
candidate.
Eisenhower recently suggest
ed that Henry Cabot Lodge,
U.S. ambassador to Viet Nam,
also deserved consideration.
And Richard M. Nixon, the 1960
Republican nominee, also h
been a recent visitor to the
former President's Gettysburg,
Pa., office.
GOP leaders believe that Ei
senhower is cool toward Sen
Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., al
though he has pledged himself
to support whoever is nominat
ed by the Republicans next
year.
Goldwater In Front
Goldwater, who is not a de
clared candidate, is still far in
front of the field in terms of
potential delegate strength at
the GOP convention.
But Republican leaders have
been quietly reappraising their
prospects since the death of
President Kennedy. Goldwater
is judged to be a weaker can
didate against President John
son than he might have been
against Kennedy.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York is the only an
nounced candidate. But few Re
publicans can regard him as a
likely winner of the nomination
until and unless he defeats an
other major candidate in a state
primary.
Since Kennedy's assassina
tion, Republicans have looked
toward Nixon and Scranton as
the strongest potential rivals of
Goldwater Nixon as a man
close to the center of the GOP
and Scranton as a representa
tive of the liberal action.
Needs Massive Buildup
Scranton is viewed as a sort
of "Republican Kennedy," a
youthful, handsome Ivy Leaguer
a millionaire with charm and
tested appeal in a big industrial
state. But to make him a na
tional figure, a massive buildup
must start soon.
The governor told newsmen
that Eisenhower urged him Dec.
15 to consider becoming a can
didate. "lie said the national scene
now was such that he felt that
a number of persons thought
I should be the candidate and
he thought that I ought to give
a good deal of thought to this
matter," Scranton said.
While sticking his toe in the
water, the governor again de
nied that he is a candidate and
said he knew of no national or
state movement to launch a
campaign for him.

grims today hovered over the
spot where President Kennedy
was slain 31 days ago.
The official mourning was
ended Sunday, but the gloom
hung on.
HAT THROWN IN RING - Former Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower, left, threw Penn
sylvania Gov. William W. Scranton's hat into
the political ring in a move that injected un
certainty into the Republican quest for a
presidential nominee. A dispatch from Harris-
burg, Pa., disclosed that the former President
had urged Scranton to seek the GOP nomina
tion. Scranton, right, is shown chatting with
Eisenhower at the latter's Gettysburg, Pa.,

the federal budget to be sent
to Congress next month calls
for defense spending of more
than $50 billion in the fiscal
year beginning July 1. The cur

is $51 billion.
The major budget controver
sy will be laid before the Presi

Dec. 30 at the LBJ Ranch in
Texas. It concerns future pur

Project at Fraser
River To Continue
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
Fraser River fishways construc
tion project will have sufficient
appropriations to continue, de
spite a congressional reduction
in funds for the work, the In
terior Department has reported.
The construction at Yale Rap
ids and Hells Gate is to protect
sockeye salmon runs, which are
jeopardized by the coincidence
of heavy fish migrations and
seasonal river flood levels.
The assurances were to Sens.

sia. The final budget session also
will permit the President to ex
amine Pentagon plans to trim
money requests for new army
weapons by as much as $1 bil
lion under the current year's
$3.2 billion.
Other big money cuts for the
new defense budget are being
aimed at weapons for the stra
tegic retaliatory forces. With
no more bombers being built
and the heaviest missile ex
penditures behind it, the Penta
gon has sharply cut new mon

By the end of the year, the
U.S. ballistic missile force will
comprise 691 operational weap
ons on land and undersea 123

Circus Roustabout
Killed by Lions
RHEIMS, France (UPD
Rene Orange, 33, a circus
roustabout, was clawed to
death by four lions Sunday
when he entered their cage to
show a friend that they were
harmless.
Orange stroked one of the
lions through the bars of the
cage, and she licked his hand.
He then entered the cage and
the animals mauled him to
death.
Wreaths still were on both
sides of the street where, in 6.2
seconds, a sniper squeezed off
three shots into the President
and Texas Gov. John Connally.
The curious and mourners still
come.
An unidentified woman and
her teen-aged daughter, dressed
in black, knelt in the snow Sun
day to lay a wreath near the
spot. Many bowed their heads
in prayer.
The weather has changed
from a balmy, sunlighted 68 de
grees Nov. 22 to a sub-freezing,
snowy pre-uhristmas gloom.
Dallas, aware of the futility
of grieving, braved the slippery
footing that followed the trag
edy and worked to redeem it
self. The Methodist churches of
Dallas started a "100 days of
love" campaign. Bishop William
C. Martin urged citizens in full
page newspaper ads to "carry
the spirit of Christmas chanty,
good will, love into the new
year."
This conservative, Republican
city felt a political change. The
Dallas Morning News said Sun
day: "On Nov. 22, ironically, it
suddenly became socially ac
ceptable to be a Democrat.
"Although there is little doubt
the GOP is still the stronger or
ganizing force in the county,
the ever-present hand of fate
already has begun etching signs
of change."
Christmas decorations in tha
city were gay, but there were
reports that retail sales wera
off. "1 guess it was partly the
warm autumn," one merchant
said, "and that terrible thing."
