Newspaper Page TextLong-Range Forestry Program For State Recommended By Governor's Group SALEM, June 20 tlf) A com prehenlve long-range state for estry program, calling for crea tion of a state department of conservation, more rigid fire pro tection and rehabilitation of the 300,000-acre Tillamook burn, was recommended today by the 10-man special forestry commit tee appointed by Governor Earl Snell. The proposed state department of conservation, which would be governed by a board of seven members who would serve six year terms, would take over activities of the state board of forestry, game commission, fish commission, department of geol ogy and mineral industries, board of forest conservation, state sanitary authority. Rogue river coordination board, and possibly the state parks depart ment of the highway commission.

Co. 4784 So. 6th Phone 7709 The committee also recom mended that a non-political state corporation be established to carry out the program for the Tillamook burn, which would be completed in 10 years. This cor poration would be financed by not more than S2S.000.000 worth of bonds which would be state guaranteed, but the money actu ally would be paid out of rev enues from sales of salvaged timber. This corporation also would carry out reforestation programs in other areas. To carry out the general for estry program, the committee recommended a special use tax on forest products plus a legisla tive appropriation. The committee said existing forestry laws are adequate but are not adequately enforced. It recommended that more men be employed to check logging oper ations, and that there be a new law to require logging operations in hazardous areas to have tele phone communications. Forestry inspectors ' should, the report said, help logging operators to train their men to fight fires. There should be. it added, a permanent coordinating board to coordinate efforts of private, state, county and fed eral fire protections. The committee recommended that the legislature appropriate $500,000 to be used for extreme emergencies, and that new stan dards of fire protection be estab lished. If private agencies failed to meet the standards, the state should take over. Trained Fire Fighters The committee recommended that special crews be trained for large fires, and that the state take advantage of such surplus army equipment as trucks, trac tors, bulldozers, tanks, flame throwers, fog machines, explo sives, incendiaries, radios and aircraft. The report cited the need for better and faster meth ods of building fire lines, getting snags down, burning out, and backfiring. The committee said that the Tillamook burn would grow 225,000.000 board feet of lumber per year, asserting the "produc tive capacity of this high quality forest land is so great that its rehabilitation is imperative." But, the committee said, exist ing fire hazards first must be reduced by more frequent in spections, more roads, and more fire fighters. The committee recommended that the state forestry depart ment explore new methods of planting and rodent control be fore planting new trees. Snags should be eliminated before Forestry Men Visit Fremont The chief of the U. S. forest service, Lyle F. Watts, inspected timber areas on the Fremont Na tional forest this week. Watts, former regional forester of the North Pacific region, was ac companied by Regional Forester H. J. Andrews of Portland and Larry Mays, supervisor of the Fremont forest. Watts expressed pleasure over the scenic timber strip along the Fremont highway northwest of Silver Lake. This scenic roadside area and those along the Lakeview-Klam-ath Falls highway on Quartz mountain have recently been acquired by the forest service and will be preserved in their natural beauty for those travel ing these roads. The chief for ester also looked over some of the selectively logged areas of the Fremont National forest and commented favorably on the condition of these young grow ing timber stands. Watts left Tuesday for the Ochoco, Mal heur, and Wallowa forests of eastern Oregon. On his way back to Washington, D. C, he plans to visit his son, Gordon L. Watts, former army major now a for ester in Idaho. The Watts also have a daughter, Mrs. Edward Perry, living near Corvallis. Dr. Kenneth S. Garvin CHTKOPODIST - FOOT SPECIALIST F..

Other Burns Considered The committee said a similar plan should be worked out fur the $38,239-acre Smith River burn in western Douglas and Lane counties; the 47,000-acre Tioga burn in Coos and Douglas counties; and 77,000 acres in eastern Linn county where a big slashing hazard exists. The committee also recom mended that the farm forestry program be developed, and that the Keep Oregon Green associa tion be given more funds. Governor Snell praised the committee's work. Chairman of the committee is Judge H. D. Kerkman, Hillsboro, president of the Oregon County Judges association. On the com mittee also were representatives of timber operators, labor, the press, and farm and livestock organizations. ILO Approves Seaman Wage SEATTLE. June 29 (fl'r The draft of an international conven tion for a $64 minimum wage and standard hours for most of the seafaring men of the world was approved by the Interna tional Labor organization's mari time conference at an early hour this morning. Its formal adoption at the con ference's closing plenary session scheduled for later today, was a foregone conclusion. The final draft was approved by a vote of 55 to 24. with nine delegates abstaining after work er delegates had agreed to give up their demand for the modi fied form of the eight-hour day for near-trade ships, an issue that had threatened the passage of the convention. The United States government and worker delegations, who had fought bitterly throughout the conference for a flat eight-hour day for seamen, abstained from voting. Relief Checks Due For Mails PORTLAND, June 29 UP) A delay in mailing of Oregon's 21,000 relief checks appeared averted today after the state public welfare commission clamped down on Columbia county its worst problem child. Failure of the county to pay its share of funds, about $5000 prompted a sharp telegram from the commission yesterday. Com missioners demanded "that the Columbia county court comply with the law and submit funds by July I in order that all other counties in the state not be penalized." Earlier, officials had feared relief checks might not be sent on July 1, as scheduled. The county has been consist ently late with its welfare funds, the commission com plained. Columbia County Judge Ray Tarbell said the county would not have funds until the new fiscal year, which starts Mon day, and that a check would be ready on that day. The county overspent its 1945-48 budget by $10,742, he explained. Hans Norland Auto Insurance. Phone 60S0.

The telephone increase since V-J Day exceeds by 67,000, or 36 per cent, the 187,000 increase in the year 1943 the largest yearly telephone increase ever recorded by our company. The tele phone increase for the first five months of 1946 exceeds by 69,000, or 60 per cent, the 114,000 increase for the entire year 1945. New applications for service total ing 340,000 for the first five months of this year increased 107 per cent over the corresponding period of a year ago. Of the 286,000 prospective subscribers at the first of the year whose applications . had been necessarily deferred due to : shortage of facilities, we'arc glad to re port that 183,000, or 64 per cent, have been cared for. Due, however, to the time necessarily involved in the installa tion of complicated switchboards in many instances new buildings are re quired to house them together with the large number of new applications and die continued materials shortages and disturbed conditions throughout the country affecting manufacturers' produc tion, 229,000 applicants arc still waiting for service. Wc arc diligently concentrating, not withstanding the difficulties in obtaining adequate apparatus and materials, on providing service to waiting applicants as fast as it is humanly possible to do so. Likewise every effort is being made to improve the quality and efficiency of our service. Construction of additional toll and long distance circuits has gone forward with rapidity and continued improve ment is being made in the service even though the volume continues at record high levels the calls being 20 per cent greater than in the corresponding five month period of year ago, Our company has recently made sub stantial further postwar Increased wage adjustments, aggregating $6,000,000 on an annual basis, as a result of collective bargaining negotiations with the unions. These added wage increases are over and above the postwar adjustment wage in creases made in December of last year which aggregated more than $18,000, 000 on an annual basis. Thus, this recent wage increase, embodied in a contract to run until March 1, 1947, brings the post war adjustment wage increases, arising out of collective bargaining, to more than $24,000,000 annually the increase in our postwar wage rates being 19 per cent. The recent collective bargaining negotiations between our management and the unions extended over a period from April 24 to May 18, 1946, and at no time throughout the negotiations did the unions or the company fail to realize that the public Interest came first . . . Net Income has been adversely affected by increased costs of operation, particu larly the large added wage expenditures. President. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co.
