DEALPHOTEST
(Continued from Paje One)
of land which would be trans
ferred to forest service owner
ship, i being prepared.
Under these exchanges, the
company transfers title of its
lands to tho forest service in ex
change for an equal value of tim
ber on forest lands. The coun
ties are protesting mainly on the
grounds lhat such non-cash deals
deprive the counties of 25 per
cent of the forest service stump
age values, which they get in
ordinary cash sales by the forest
service to private operators.
Reports on Meet
At the opening of today's con
ference. District Attorney Clar
ence Humble reported on meet
ings at Salem last week at which
he and County Judge U. E. Reed
er asked the state to consider
state acquisition of the Shevlin
Hixon lands or some other form
of state or county action as al
ternative to the land exchange,
deal. At Salem, Junior Daggett,
member -of the state forestry
board, presented the problem,
and Governor Earl Snell asked
the forestry department to give
the matter its careful attention.
Obligated to Assist
' McCulloch explained at to
day's meeting that the state de
partment is obligated to assist
taxpayers or county courts un
der such circumstances, giving
its technical help.
It was agreed that these are
the three major alternatives to
the current Shevlin-Hixon deal:
1. Continued private owner
ship of the land.
2. County ownership with a
cooperative arrangement for
management of the land and for
est by the state. -
3. Joint county-state or state
ownership. : ' ,
It was contemplated, under
these proposals, that the forest
service would then sell timber
for cash to Shevlin-Hixon, in
stead of taking land and resid
ual timber stands for it. The
cash deal would give the coun
ties their share of the 25 per
cent.
Already Cutting
Court members Indicated In
the discussion that they do not
consider their protests as jeopar
dizing the war production oper
ations of Shevlin-Hixon com
pany, as waj asserted last week
by Huntington Taylor, WPB of
ficial. It was pointed out that
the forest service is already per
mitting Shevlin-Hixon to cut na
tional forest timber, under a
bond, even though the land ex
change deal has not been offi
cially closed. '
Under the land exchange
plan, Shevlin-Hixon is taking
only about 60 per cent of the
timber on its land, leaving 40
per cent as a residual stand.
It was brought out in the dis
cussion that if . the county, in
stead of the forest service, ac
quires the Shevlin-Hixon land,
it will get 90 per cent of the
revenues from sale, of remain
ing timber, grazing rights; etc.
If the state buys the land, the
county will get 75 per cent of
the revenues. I
$150,000 Estimated
District Attorney. Humble es
timated it would cost about
$150,000 to buy the 26,000,000
feet of timber left on tho Shevlin-Hixon
lands. The counties
would get back a substantial
sum as the counties' share of
the federal stumpage values
through cash sale of that timber
to the company.
Speakers said they assumed
the forest service would not ob
ject to any alternative plans
that fit into their general objec
tives good forest management
of the land, and keeping it in
production. It was brought out
that the forest service Is on rec
ord as saying it favored private
acquisition of timber land if the
land is properly managed.
Correction Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Ellis of this city are parents of
a daughter, born January 20 at
Klamath Valley hospital, and
not Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Ellis
as erroneously reported.

" The investigation was suggest
ed by Senator Bridges (R-N.H.)
who told reporters later his mo
tion carried without a dissent.
Emerging from the closed ses
sion, Bridges handed reporters
copies-of a statement he said he
had made before the committee.
It said:
... "This disgraceful incident of
three servicemen being put off
of an airplane while an English
bull mastiff, consigned by the

Faye Emerson, at Hollywood was
allowed to outrank them In tra

German Strength
Boosted in Italy
LONDON. Jan. 23 (fP) A
highly-informed American source
said today an agreement on the
political and economic future of
Germany was likely to be the
most important decision at the
forthcoming "Big Three" con
ference of President Roosevelt,
Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Joseph Stalin.
No hint was given by this
authoritative quarter as to what
proposals might be advanced by
President Roosevelt concerning
the political pattern, but the
implication was left that inter
national administration of the
Rhineland industrial areas had
strong backing in some Amer
ican official circles.
