Overdrawn MR. WATTS says in 'his report that the present shortage of timber products gen erally will continue to grow because 'you can't grow trees of saw-timber size overnight." He reports that the nation's wood pile has been reduced by more than 40 per cent in the last SB years. "At the present time," his report states, "we are overdrawing our saw-timber bank account by about 18.6 billion feet a year." He figures that saw-timber grown annually totals 35.3 bil lion feet and the amount being cut or destroyed aggregates S3.9 billion feet.

(To . the Editor) A review of the past actions of the man shot down on the courthouse lawn a few days ago, indicate (in my opinion) not a criminal nature, nor insanity, but mental irre sponsibility. The taking of human life un der any circumstances is a seri ous thing, in this case quite un necessary. The reapprehension of a man in his obvious state of . mind should have been quite easily accomplished. , Unless Officer Barnes is a more callous man than I take him to be. he must have a feel ing of deep regret that he al lowed his zeaL to overcome his judgment. , P.

(To The Editor) When I was a 19-year-old child in the army, seven - years ago, I was handed a double-barreled shotgun with a pris oner on the other end of it. Said prisoner was up for attempted murder and desertion. I was told that if - mv prisoner escaped I would have to serve his term in the guard house. I was starting to dislike my own term in the barracks, so made up my mind that if he de cided to run I'd blow his brains out. ' If the so-called helpless pris oner had escaped in front of the courthouse the other day, he would have gone on stealing cars, beating drunks for their change and indefinite larceny. While Klamath Falls' sardonic underworld chalked up another score for their side. And the sheriff would doubt the integrity of his deputy and can him for inefficiency. I Just so much water under the bridge. But there will always be a bunch of sob sister bystanders to say, "Oh, Policeman! Why did you shoot that poor hand some convicted thief?" I'm a property owner, tax payer, veteran and voter. ; Yours till Klamath Falls, . HARRY L. DAMSON . 1877 Ivory street. i GUARD THANKED !

Improvements ON the more heartening side of the picture is the development of an industry-sponsored tree farm movement, which is widely spread over the timber areas of the nation. Here at home the Weyerhaeuser Timber com pany now has a tree farm of more than half a million acres; at least one other large operator is developing a tree farm program, and over the mountains in the Medford area a large tree farm was dedicated Just the other day. There are increasing improvements in cutting practices and developments of manufacturing techniques that make more efficient and effec tive use of the timber supply available. Some constructive advances have been made in fire control. There is need for further research on forest pest control (in Modoc county, we have been told, the pine beetle harvests as much timber as the logging camp.) Other steps proposed by Watts in a nationwide program of building up saw-timber production include: stepping up the planting program so as to bring into productiveness millions of non productive forest acres now being carried as dead waste; stop destructive practices and en courage wider adoption of good forest manage ment by carrying the technical know-how into the woods. War Inroads HERE In the Klamath country, there were heavy inroads into the remaining timber supply in the war period, when new attitudes toward more cautious cutting practices were suspended to provide a vital war material. Com munities such as this contributed heavily of their natural resources as well as manpower to the winning of the war. Replacement of those natural resources is a long, slow process; in the meantime, our industry has to turn to other expedients to meet so far as possible the demand for timber products, and to maintain payrolls in this area. We find encouragement in the constructive attitude of many of the in dustry's leaders. The World Today By J. M. ROBERTS JR. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Russia's maneuvering for posi tion and propaganda purposes in the current discussions at Lake Success need not be taken as evidence that the Soviet is in sincere in its disarmament pro posals. That she will attempt to arrive at some agreement in her own fashion, always suspicious of any thing a "foreigner" offers and always conscious of the party line, is a- foregone conclusion. But in the long run she is prob ably more anxious for an arms limitation agreement than any one else right now. Britain and the United States already have pared their military establishment sharply, and are continuing to do so. Russia has, too, but not to such an extent nor as much as she would like. Military Power To speak of Russia as one of the great military powers now is correct, but an oversimplifica tion, btie nas a big army, but not well equipped for Us size, and incomparably less mobile than those to which westerners have become accustomed. Russia desperately needs the men now in her army for indus trial expansion. She knows pro ductive capacity, rather than manpower, is the real basis for British and American military might, and is determined to be in a position to compete. But now she is behind in her five- year plan, and manpower is a serious problem. This is made evident through her labor mo bilization campaign. . So, understanding the neces sity for an industrial system which can compete with those of the west, Russian disarmament today is a positive force in her orive lor equality tomorrow. But, at the same time, she wants no change in actual mili tary ratios among the powers unless it be in her favor. Thus she maneuvers in the UN secur ity council toward three ends a world military situation in which she will be safe for some vears in applying her manpower to in dustrial development, a political situation in which she stands be fore the small nations as a cru sader for peace, and an economic situation in which she can draw on the resources of "friendlv" (i.e., controlled) neighbors to build up her central strength.

U. a, "Tonight I wish you wouldn't repeat those stories about the good old days when the saloons serd free lunch do I go around reminding everybody how old we are?" STATIC By KELLY ROBERTS Bingsday evening again and a member of the British royalty holds down the guest spot on the Groaners' half-hour. Lady Peel, better known to the musi cal comedy stage as Bea Llllie, will be Bing's guest star. Bea will present with Bing's help a little skit called, "A Double Dozen Damask Dinner Napkins," try that lightly for size. We ran across an old cut of "Big J. S. Trotter," John Scott to you, which we're running. John Scott and his orchestra have been hanging around Bing's programs for years and provide most of the musical background for his recordings. one' George Peterson, the baritone who surprised everyone over the "What's the Name of This Song?" program last Wednes day, by actually being able to sing the song that he knew the name of, will appear on tonight's show at 8 o'clock over KFJI. Peterson received over 1 00 phone calls after last week's show offering him singing jobs. Incidentally, Dudley William son, who is emcee on the pro gram, is well-known locally, hav ing made several appearances iivjthe basin area and living here about nine years ago. o o Bing's sparring mate for the evening, Henry Morgan (who, incidentally, is no relation to Sir Henry Morgan, the buccaneer and scourge of the seas in the old freebooting days) advises people who would forge ahead to adopt the practice of name dropping. Name -dropping, he points out, is the gentle art of dropping some prominent per son's name into a conversation with phrases such as "As Bing was telling me the other day " or "Breneman told us a good story at lunch yesterday, it seems that " Morgan advises, however, that many novices make the mistake of overtaxing themselves at the start. Begin by Just dropping the names of department heads or minor ex- ecutives, he cautioned, "you've got 10 crawi oeiore you can walk, you know." Henry fin ished the conversation by advis ing the aspiring name-dropper to assume a position of reluc tance before indulging, it's more fun to be coaxed to drop a name, he stated.

It isn't even TOO difficult. It is being done all the time. ... , CO, you see, society as a whole, under our American system, ISN'T wholly at fault for the plight of this man beside the road. He himself is in part to blame. It is to be feared that in our commendable sympathy for the under-dug we are leaning too far toward sentimentality and AWAY from practical common sense. In doing so, we may be undermining the foundations of our American system. In a free enterprise society, a LOT depends on the individ ual. . Poles Name Bierut Head WARSAW, Feb. 5 (P) Bole slaw Bierut, who had headed the Moscow-born provisional Po lish government for 16 months, was elected president of Poland for a seven-year term by the bloc-controlled parliament to day. The only candidate nominated for the presidency, Beirut re ceived 408 votes. Deputies of Stanislaw Miko Iajczyk's Polish peasant party, which has contended that the election forming the parliament was neither free nor unfettered, cast 25 negative votes, four votes were invalid and seven deputies were absent. The deputies wrote their votes on slips of paper and dropped them in a box before the parlia ment rostrum. The announce ment of the tally brought most of the deputies to their feet cheering. The Polish peasant party members remained seated, Danish Airlines Probe Continues COPENHAGEN, Feb. 5 W) A Danish Airlines radio operator testified today he saw "a tall man wearing a blue uniform" place an elevator lock on a Royal Dutcn Airline transport shortly before it crashed during a take off here January 26, killing Soprano Grace' Moore and 21 Luther persons. m mougni it was rawer strange, as it was not according to practice to lock elevator flaps," said the witness, Kcspcr Andersen. Andersen was one of 23 Kas trup airport employes called be fore Judge Olaf Bacrentzen of the Copenhagen town court dur ing an inquiry into the crash. Other witnesses said they saw no one place a lock, such as was found near the DC-3 plane wreck age, on the elevator flap. ARE YOUR Water Pipes Frozen?

Antony in a bank ruptcy hcni'hiK luilitv admitted owing $3U.0:itt.UH to 16 creditors, listed in ait incumplt'to schedule of llubilitira by John Ebinger, trustee of the bankrupt estate, and offered to bring in an amended schedule of debts this afternoon which iniiy show a slightly larger figure. The hearing was conducted in the office of A. C. Ynden, referee in bankruptcy. Ankenv was ac companied to tho hearing by his attorney, Uen Anderson of tho Portland law firm, Lord and An derson. Along with the amended schedule of liabilities, Ankeny la to furnish the court with a list of hhj assets and properly rights. His attorney said Unit the amended schedule would show only a few small debts olhvr than those listed in the original schedule, and Ankeny told tho court ho had no property or as sets other than listed In the trustee's schedule. The schedule tentatively nets the value of his assets at about $10,000, In asserting that the schedule, of debts and creditors against him was true, Ankeny also said tluit doi.iiiint had been nuido upon him by most of the cred itors for settlement of tho debts. Ankeny became obligated to these creditors in his brokerage business during the purchase and sale of stocks. He is under in dictment in circuit court on charges of embezzlement and larceny by bail re, but today's bankruptcy hearing is not a part of proceeding on the criminal matters, which will come up later. A technical bit of by-play this morning resulted in having two court reporters taking the testi mony. The court had employed Mrs. Vera Chase of the Chase Lawler agency, and she had been sworn in by Yaden. Anderson, Ankeny's attorney, objected to her presence and held out for an official court reporter. An keny refused to answer any questions on the stand unless a certified reporter was brought in. The impiasso was cicumvented by the hiring of Al Brandt, of ficial circuit court reporter, by Anderson, and both Brandt and Mrs. Chase are taking shorthand record of the court session. Anderson snid this morning that he thought his client might be arraigned in circuit court on the two indictments tomorrow. He Is held in the cnuntv jail and was taken to the hearing today by a deputy sheriff.
