Forest Land
Opening Urged
i WASHINGTON, March 25 MP)
An Alaskan has urged a house
public lands subcommittee to ap
prove legislation to open huge
national forest reserves to home
steading by veterans.
Alvan J. Hannah, a cabinet
maker, boat owner and teacher
from' Ketchikan, Alaska, said
that southern Alaska and the
fringing islands are rich with
timber, game and fish, and con
tains much good agricultural
land.
"Right now, however, there
are more bears than voters in
Alaska," he said.
Hannah testified on a bill bv
Reps. Lemke (R-N. D.), and Ped
en (D-Okla.), which would open
virtually all lands, including
forests, in southern Alaska to
veteran homesteaders. The bill
would create a new type, 'of
homestead to be known at a fur
farming claim. .

Following discussion with class
residents and secretaries it was
decided to initiate plans for the
election of a queen of the south
ern Oregon Invitational track
meet to be held April 26. The
three runner-up .finalists would
act as princesses for the affair.
The plan, as it now stands, calls

of sixteen girls, four from each
class, on April 7, the day we
return from spring vacation. On
the following day at 1 o'clock
four finalists, one from each
class, would be chosen. The
final outcome then would depend
on the number of tickets students
from each class sold to support
their candidate, each adult or
student ticket counting a specific
number of points for the candi
date receiving the pledge.
Tomorrow the great produc
tion of "Lost Horizon" will be
previewed to the students pur

Armed Men
Dump Milk
AMITE, La., March 25
Thousands of gallons of milk to
day weer seized by armed men
who dumped the contents of six
tank trucks in ditches on the
outskirts of the city.
It was the first act of violence
in a strike called 24 hours
earlier by dairy farmers of sev
eral east Louisiana parishes
(counties) in protest of a price
cut declared by milk distrib
utors. A reliable source esti
mated that 58 per cent of the
state's milk production was cut
off by the strike.
The six tank trucks were
halted near the Amite city lim
its, shortly after 1 a. m by men
carrying shotguns and rifles.
The drivers were forced to a
lonely section of the road where
truck drain valves were opened,
flooding the ditches off the high
way with milk.
Meantime, at Independence,
six miles from Amite, 700 gal
lons of milk were poured into
tne langipahoa river. The milk
had been delivered to a pas
teurization plant of the St.
Charles dairy, a New Orleans
firm, and was seized shortly aft
er it arrived at the plant. i
