Slop roraat Flraa banquet I By LYLE WATTS Chief, U. S. Forest Service I DON'T need to tell you that Oregon's future welfare and progress In a large measure de pend on what happens to her forests; that the forests are one of the mainstays of your own Klamath Falls community. Those forests sup port payrolls, and payrolls are what make the cash registers ring in the stores and business houses of Klamath Falls. Walt Wicsendanger has asked me to give you a brief message about the forest situation and the outlook for the future. I wish I could re port to you that everything is rosy. I take it, however, that you would rather have the plain truth, straight from the shouider. The plain fact is that we are not growing timber as fast as we arc cutting it. The volume of saw timber in the United States was reduced 40 per cent In the last 30 years, and we are now cutting each year one and six-tenths times as much saw timber as is being replaced by new growth. That doesn't sound like a healthy situation and it isn't. We cannot continue to cut into our forest capital and reduce the productive capac ity of our forest lands without serious conse quences. The Klamath Falls area is faced with the fact that there is not enough surrounding tim ber left to sustain the present output of lumber much longer. Klamath Falls' place as one of the greatest pine lumber shipping centers of the United States is seriously threatened. a a a It's Not Too Bad NOW I don't want to leave you with the impression, however, that the future out look is all black and hopeless. There are a lot of things that can be done, and if all agencies, public and private, dig into this problem and work together, they will be done. We can work to stop forest fires. And your organization is doing a splendid job on that. It warms a forester's heart to see the enthusi asm and effort you are putting into the job of fire prevention. You are helping people to real ize that we can't have steady crops of timber, nor any of the other good things the forests give us, on land blackened by fire. Another big possibility is in the develop ment of closer utilization of timber. By develop, ing processes and facilities for local manufac ture of new wood products and by-products, we can use more and waste less of each tree cut; and that will help to sustain operations and payrolls in the Klamath area. The Forest Serv ice has recently assigned a wood utilization specialist to the Pacific Northwest, who will do everything he can to aid in just that sort of development. We must take practical and effective steps : to make sure that all timber cut, both on pri vate and public forest lands, is cut in such a way that a good stand of younger trees will ba left growing. The virgin or old-growth timber that nature gave us won't last forever in fact the end of it is pretty well in sight on much of the forest land in the Klamath Falls area. The only way we can have adequate timber .. supplies for the future is to grow them.' And that takes careful and expert forest manage ment. Some operators are dping a splendid job of forest management. It is essential that the type of cutting practice that looks to the future . be applied on all timber lands. . a a a a Sustained Yield OUR National Forests are pledged to a sus tained yield of timber. We shall hold firmly to the policy of managing their timber resources for continuous production, so that they will keep on yielding timber crops for all time. That means we must hold strictly to an annual cutting budget that can be maintained perma ently. Some carefully worked out land exchanges, by which certain timber lands in the Klamath Falls area may be brought into the national forests, should give assurance that those lands will keep on producing timber. We hope that congress will soon enact legislation which will make possible a more satisfactory return to the counties in lieu of taxes on such lands. Of course, non-productive cutover land brings in very little in the way of taxes anyhow; but we should have a system that will provide for steadier and more reliable returns to the coun ties than the present system in which payments are based wholly on national forest receipts, a a a a Community Service THE Fremont and Rogue River national for ests, like all national forests, are dedicated to the service of their communities. Under a multiple-use system of administration, not only the timber resources but all other resources . are managed for your welfare. We are en deavoring to give full protection to the water sheds upon which irrigation agriculture in your section depends. We are trying to build up, and maintain the range resources, so that they can contribute their full share to livestock produc- tion. We want to cooperate with the state authorities to produce as much game as the forests will support under principles of good land management. Every policy and action In the administration of these national forests is and will be determined on the basis of whether it is in the best permanent interest of tha peo ple of your community and other communities served. . Your grand work for forest fire prevention Is ample evidence of your regard for the for ests. I'm sure we can count on just as earnest and constructive support , for all other sound measures that will help to make our forest lands contribute fully to the permanent welfare of both the community and the nation. News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 17 The 33 congress men on the published Hillman P A C blacklist took It with a smile, some with grati tude. No one got much excited except Mr. Hill man. He denied it. The blacklist was given out at Mr. Hiltman'a union convention In the great spa, Atlantic City, with comments by Hyman Blumberg, Hillman vice president and incidentally secre tary of the American labor party in which the communists participate in New York. That was on a Thursday. On Sunday Mr. Hillman denied the list, saying it represented the views of some people only, and the real list (according to his associate Harold Ickes in a three-way new poli tical setup) would be made by action of local bodies. The soot-thumbing thus is to be done quietly hereafter. Such tactics have generally proved to be mistakes in the past, but in this case the proof came faster and more completely than usual. If a man has established a public record so strongly against you that you put him on a blacklist, your act generally dramatizes his stand and arouses latent popular sympathy for him. The 33 names published from the Hillman convention are by no means all those legislators who have opposed PAC. Practically the whole CIO-PAC legislative program has been voted down by a majority of congress. I have not been able to find a clear issue of CIO strength in congress on a question where AFL was on the other side, but congressional authorities esti mate the . most optimistic CIO possibility of votes in both houses as less than a third. So PAC is really against about two-thirds of con gress, or roughly 350 legislators. a a a a May Help Byrd THE soot-roll did not contain the names of those who would be the softest touches for PAC. Indeed, the attack will be most helpful to the two most prominent names on the list, Virginia's Senator Byrd and Tennessee's Mc Kellar. The CIO vote in Virginia may be some thing more than the Chinese vote there, but not much. It is larger in Tennessee, but the men of Boss Ed Crump do the counting there, which is said to be a distinct advantage to men like Senator McKellar who are so close to Mr. Crump as to be indistinguishable from him. In this case, AFL's Green, Meany and others, at a simultaneous convention in the famous land of the sky, Asheville, linked the CIO lead ers to the communist party, asserted AFL had no purge list and. warned the voters, especially in the south, against the Hillman - Blumberg crowd. This was clearly a sufficient political offset to the PAC threats to diminish congres sional fretting. Indeed, congress continues persistently to make its own record, although its majority is clearly frustrated. Both houses are frankly against the British loan and want bases or some remuneration, but realize any change in the inadequate deal made by the state depart ment would destroy the whole deal, and they do, not wish to go that far. More important than the loan is the cancellation of $20,000,000,000 to $25,000,000,000 of lend lease granted Britain, effected by executive order in connection with the loan, but not mentioned either in the bill or the report of the committee. This sum, five or six times greater than the amount of the loan, is not only forgiven in violation of the purpose to "lend" and "lease," but is already forgotten. What the administration wants, how ever, is expected to squeeze through. a a a a Case Bill THE pending Case bill in the senate is likely to run into a quiet labor filibuster which may prevent its enactment. Both OPA and draft extension expire June 30 and action must be completed on both by then, so the time for the Case bill before mid-summer is definitely limited, and by then, the popular cry for some - restraint on strikes may have ebbed again. This is what the unions are playing for, in hopes of avoiding action before the congressmen recess to go home and campaign. To help the filibus ter, PAC may put forward the poll tax issue and fair employment practises as delaying amendments. The senate, however, will restore strength to the legislation, if permitted, and completely revise the weak and inadequate measure reported by its labor committee. Congress is frustrated against its desires also on OPA and draft extension, a majority being clearly opposed to both, yet unwilling to kill them suddenly, and confused as to how to limit them intelligently. OPA continuance will eventually pass with restrictive amendments, but I am doubtful about the draft. The legisla tors simply do not wish to face the mothers in a campaign year. This is about all the leaders wish to place on the calendar before quitting for the cam paigns, in which a majority of the democrats will run on their own program in contradistinc tion to Mr. Truman's, while the republicans run in opposition to both the Truman and the congressional programs.

Homoja Huts Go To Vets With the transfer this week of the naval homoja huts to the federal public housing adminis tration, the last of the military housing in Klamath Falls has been turned over, C. Austin Haydcn, FPHA administrator, announced today. There are 62 apartments with two bedrooms eacn, or 31 dou ble "huts," at the naval air sta tion. These units will be assign ed to veterans of World War II in order of application, follow ing the same system used for all federal housing, Hayden said. At present all the units are filled and there is a substantial waiting list. STATIC Two special shows will be featured over KFLW tonight, with Tommy Luke, of Portland, coming on at 6:55 to speak in behalf of the Shriner's Crippled Children hospital, and Herbert Hoover at 10:30 to speak on the world food situation. a e a ABC's list of honors for the top day-time shows of any net work got another boost when the Chicago Federated Advertis ing club voted the Swift spon sored portion of Breakfast Club the "Top Chicago originated net work day-time program." Keep ing pace with the title, Don Mc Neill, toastmaster of the Break fast Club, will receive the By Line Award of the School of Journalism, Marquette univer sity, at a special convention next month. The award is given to Marquette alumni who have dis tinguished themselves in nation al life. a a a' Tonight's Gillette Fights will feature the 10-round heavy weight match between Taml Mauriello of New York and Eng. lish champ Bruce Woodcock. Don Dunphy and Bill Corum, ABC's top line sportscasters, will handle the fight, which mark's Woodcock's debut In this country. The scrap will originate in Madison Square Garden. a a a Esther Williams, movie starlet material and swimming champ, will visit the Alan Young show tonight to try and teach Alan at least the rough points of swim ming. How it will all turn out will remain a mystery until to night. a a a Yesterday's fire at the O'Con nor feed plant was well covered by the Herald and News-KFLW staff. Sandwiched in between police sirens, about half the staff was present shortly after the blaze started. Sidelights on the fire included the scoop shovel parked in the middle of the road which had to be maneuvered around, the tense moment when two men, each dragging the end of a long hose, almost took op posite sides of a post when they dashed to the fire, and the wild dash, ending in a crash into a locked studio door, when Bill Jenkins tried to rush a script into the KFLW studio. The scoop shovel operator, byjhe way, was taking a happy vacation from work after the fire while he waited for the long line of cars to pass him on their way back to town. Grasshopper Poison Mixed Approximately 15,000 pounds of poison was mixed at the fair grounds poison house Thursdny to be used in the control of grasshoppers in Klamath coun ty. The insects, increasing 20 to one, show a worse infestation in the county this year than last, according to C. A. Henderson, county agent. The fresh batch of poison was taken to Fort Klnnuith and Keno Friday to be used in the first control operation this year. Grasshoppers have been report ed hatching at a tremendous rate at Klamath marsh and on privately owned and Indian lands near Fort Klamath. A call was received at the county agent's office Thursday morning stating 'hoppers are also plenti ful at Keno. A meeting held Wednesday In the agent's office outlined plans for cooperative poisoning be tween the U. S. bureau of ento mology, the Indian service and the county, to make a full fledged campaign against grnss hoppers in the county possible. A federal government entomolo gist from the USBE and one from Oregon State college were present at the meeting. U. S. Bureau Assists The bureau Is sending a me chanical bait mixer to be set up at Klamath Agency and a bait spreader to be used there. An additional bait spreader will be assigned for use here and a car load of bran and truckload of sodium fluosilicate. The bureau also plans to have a poison su pervisor on the reservation. Ernest Lindscy, assistant coun ty agent, will be in charge of this work hero. A heavy infestation of grass hoppers is expected here but the recent dry wenther removing the surface moisture from the earth is advantageous in the poi soning campaign, bringing all the insects out about the same time. The government is Interested in control from the air, to gat away from hand-spreading the poison. Experimental work dusting from the air, will be car ried on in the county this year, Henderson said, but no definite results of this method are avail able to date. Consumption of milk in the United States amounts to 107 quarts per person a year. Telling " The Editor Lillet ewlatee) here imal net ae mar than 14 ward kt linith, rrtuel M writ.

(To the Editor): The discussion about liquor advertising Interested mo and more could be said but here Is something to think about. Let ma explain what I mean: Last year I helped to taku the farm census, and to assist us cer tain facts were furnished us by the bureau of the census in or der to impress us with the great ness of our Uncle Sam, and one of the great things he did win to drink an amount of beer that would nuike a river 300 feet wide and 20 feet deep- from Washington, D. C. to Bridge port, Connecticut, a dlstanco of 100 miles in one year. . These figures arc official unit are fuels. Now I recently read In your puper that the amount of gruin for that purpose has been rut in half this year so it Is possible that the river would only be 50 miles long, 300 feet wide and 20 feet deep for this year. Well, that seems to me to be a terrible waste when people are starving to death. Now people are being called upon to feed the hungry, and that is right, but why it is that housewives cannot gel sugar to do their cunning? Dors that river of beer have anything to do with It? Why is It that more territory is dry than when the 18th amendment was submitted to the people? Why Is It that many hundreds of newspapers that helped put over the repeal now recognize thut they were fooled by a smull minority, thnt put on a propa ganda progrum and they have switched back Into the dry col umn. Kentucky Is nearly dry and counties are turning dry by the hundred. That great amount of liquor is being drunk by 40 per cent of the population. Those who think prohibition Is dead had better get an ear to the ground. r. L. CHITWOOD. HSI.D at NW, Klaraalt Falls, Ore, rain.tr. Mar tr, ism. rase r.at Press.

YELLOW PAINT KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To the Editor) Would like to of fer a suggestion on this parking question, whether or not to in stall parking meters. To me It looks like a foolish venture, as there is no place to put them. Between 6th and 7th on Main, eight cars under the present set up can park. The rest of the space being taken up by yellow curb. Now yellow curbs won't pay for parking meters. Maybe, since tho city has a lot of yellow paint, we could have all the curbs painted yel low, close up the alley and leave our cars iomc and walk to town. In that way? you solve the parking question and if there is no place to park you need no meters. Under this setup I'm sure every one would be as happy as thev are now. RAY BALLINGS Route 1 Box 1250.
