UTILIZATION
A number of steps are now
being taken by forest service
officials to alleviate the reduc
tion in timber cut that they fore
cast is necessary after the war
to get cutting in line with growth
in the pondcrosa pine region.
One of the foremost steps in
this direction is the investigation
of greater utilization of wood in
the logging and milling opera
tions. . ,
The Madison, Wis., laboratory
of the forest service and spe
cially assigned research men
throughout the c o u n t r y are
working on a variety of investi
gations aimed at developing uses
for wood materials now wasted.
Commercial developments of the
results of these studies should
be of material value to Klamath
county when the timber cut is
reduced, according to L. K.
Mavs, supervisor of the Fremont
national forest.
To tie forest service investi
gations into field problems and
to more readily make the re
mits available to lumbermen,
Dr. Edward G. Locke has re
cently been appointed chemical
engineer on the staff of the Pa
cific Northwest Forest and
Range experiment station at
Portland. Dr. Locke will work
in close cooperation with the
Madison laboratory, investigat
ing problems of chemical wood
utilization in the Pacific north-
W He will take these problems
to the Madison laboratory for
research and bring the results
of the work at Madison directly
to the wood-using industries, ac
cording to Director Stephen N.
Wyckoff of the Portland station.
Dr. Locke will assist with such
developments as plastics, wood
distillation for industrial char
coal and wood hydrolysis for
production of alcohol, fodder
yeasts and other products.
Dr. Locke is well known in
the northwest, being a native of
Portland, and a graduate of the
department of chemical engi
neering of Oregon State college.
His Ph.D. degree was obtained
at Ohio State university in 1932.
Following industrial work in
the middlewest and east, he re
turned to Oregon State college
as a member of the faculty of
the chemical engineering de
partment. He has served both
as consultant and as chemical
engineer with Bonneville power
administration, and has been
active in research on wood utili
zation conducted by the Oregon
forest products laboratory at
Oregon State college.

adjudged the father of her 14-months-old
daughter.
"If I've been hard on Chaplin,
I feel that way about him," cried
the 77-year-old Joseph Scott in
conclusion. 1 m sorry he Isn t
here so I could look him in the
eye and let him have it right on
the chin."
Neither the comedian nor Miss
Berry, his former protege, was
in court.
Scott read from letters writ
ten by Joan to Chaplin from Tul
sa, Okla., in November, 1942. the
month before she alleges her in
fant Carol Ann was conceived
in Chaplin's bedroom at his Bev
erly Hills estate. The letters, said
Scott, show "the complete subec
tion of her will to the mesmeric,
hypnotic influence of this mast
er mind over some kinds of
women."
After one letter's reference
to the 55-year-old Chaplin as
"the greatest genius and artist
living," Scott exclaimed to the
jury:
"Get a load of that, will you?
After he's been debauching her
all the time! He must have said
to himself: 'I've debauched her.
I've deflowered her. And I've
made her like it. I'm some gen
ius! I, Charlie Chaplin, am a
great artist!' "
The final argument on Tues
day of Chaplin's counsel, Charles
E. Millikan, will be followed by
Scott's rebuttal and the court's
instructions to the jury. The case
is expected to be submitted to
the jury on Wednesday.
