CONSUMER demand for timber product Is
expected to continue at a high level for
years to come, while saw Umber scarcity makes
it Increasingly auucuu lor me
lumber Industry to meet that
dcmr.id.
Tlir.t condition, described by
Cnii f I .vie Watts of the federal
for ..' I service in his annual
miio.-l, is somewhat like the
situation confronting The Her
ald and News, which has a
newsprint (paper) scarcity that
makes It impossible to realize
the full potentialities of the
current demand for advertising
and subscriptions. We at live eplEY
Herald and News are in serious
need of newsprint, -which happens to be one
of those timber products that are in short
supply
We know how the boys In the lumber In
dustry feel.
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.

ONE MAN'S OPINION
! KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (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.

ON PRISONER SHOOTING
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (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,

the situation mentioned by Watts where Industry
is being forced to reach further Into the more
remote stands in the search for new "logging
chances."
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.

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.

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

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.

Bankruptcy
Hearing
Held Today
Lewis II. 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.

WRDNrSDAr, TUe. I, Hit. ra0 roar
mobile accident, lie was put In
the county Jail about 4 o'clock on
a Sunday morning. When I went
lo the county Jail to soe him
about II o'clock Sunday morn
ing I was told that Donald Goi-.
don Roberts was being held un- .'
der $()U cash ball. The following
day. Monday, I was told he was
under doctor's orders to see no
one.
Tuesday the county sheriff
nunc to my wlfu and told iter to
gel Donald Huberts out of the
jail because ho needed medical
care. Ho wanted us to pay the
ambulance fee and tola us he
would be given a suspended sen
tence for being drunk.
After this was done 'by his
brother and brtilher-ln-law about
ft p. in. ho was taken to Klamath
Valley hospital. Wednesday X
raya showed a three-Inch skull
fracture and Immediate treat
ment was started to dissolve
blood clots of tho brain which ,
would not show on an X-ray ,
picture.
My wife and I on separate oc
casions went to the district at
torneys office mid attempted ta
obtain a sanity hearing for Don
ald Roberts, That was a
over lieiird of It.
Aflrr Donald Rolx't'ts was ar
rested Ot'tolier ill his luwycr,
U. S. Uiilentlne realized that
Donald Robert was mentally III
and obtained a sanity hearing
which was rushed through so
fast that we could not get our
witnesses to the hearing.
Donald Roberts on the day of
his trial was brought to the
courtroom without hunilcuffs. lie
had been in the county Jail for
three months and tho sheriff's
office should have known Don
ald's mental condition and at
titude toward life and taken
proper precaution lo prevent the
tragedy thnt happenrd.
Donald Robert' was the vic
tim nf a poor education and
alung with his mental condition
could not rriiliie what was tak
ing place In the courtroom.
This rase mirrors a lark of
Interest by count officials in'
the duties of their offices. It
shows a lack of Initiative In the'
performance of thrir duties,
which resulted in the drath of
a man who should have been
pitied rather than shot In the
back. He had practically no
chance to even gel out of town.
The sheriff's office issues facta
concerning Donald Roberts' past
record only to rover a thought
less act and the useless taking
of a human life by a representa
tive of his office.
