Some time ago Modoc forest men observed evidences of porcupine ottacks on the poles. The little animals, mynod in that areo, were gnawing of the base of the poles, evidently enticed by the creosote used in treating them. In numerous instances, they hod supplanted this un usual diet by taking substantial bites out of the cross-orms of the tops of the big wooden sticks. This odded up to the possibility of line breakdowns, short-circuits and resultant fires, and forest and Copco officials got together to decide on defensive action. There was a suggestion that extra cross-arms be installed and treated with poison that would send the porkies tumbling, but this plan wos rejected for onother considered o more permonent, ond incidentally more humane solution to the problem. It was decided to encase the base of eoch pole in metol, which would be impervious to porcupine teeth ond would be so hord ond slick that the little animals could not get their clows in to climb the poles to the enticing crosvorms. Thof hos been done. The gleaming metol con be seen on the poles to the eost of highwoy 139 for mony miles through the Modoc. The porkies in that area are getting along without sumptuous meals of creosote -soaked wood ond cross-arms. BULLETINS WASHINGTON.

July 38 (4o Sen ator Wherry (Neb.), the republican leader, said today the senate may try to reverse its action of yesterday in sending the European recovery money bill back to committee. Wherry told reporters a motion may be msde to reconsider the vote which cut off senate consideration of the $5,723,000,000 foreign aid measure. The appropriations group named a subcommittee consisting of Sena tos McKellar (D-Tenn.l. Haydn (D Aria.) and Bridges iR-N H.) to talk with Lucas about procedure and re port back to the committee later in the day. The whole vast Issue was thrown bsck Into the lap of the aenate ap propriations committee yesterday on a technical point, leaving the senate Just where It stood two weeks ago. Chairman McKellar (D-Tenn) was expected to call the committee into extraordinary session sometime today to decide on a course of ac tion. Some senators demanded the en tire recovery program be re-opened. The economic cooperaUon admin istration already haa committed most of It emergency fundi, and the European recovery program may grind to a halt before the bill gets back on the senate floor for a vote. Briefly, here Is what happened In the four hours of confusion which stalled the aid bill: Majority Leader Lucas a( Illinois Union Asks Package Up Of 30 Cents NEW YORK.

The governor's approval of decon trol in those cities haa gone ta Washington, D. C, where Tigho Woods, nauonal housing expediter, will pass on them. But Woods' ap proval la considered routine. The Medford city council ap proved unanimously decontrol of rents, but Medford vetersns and labor group urged rent control be retained. The governor said again that when a city council recommenda decontrol, he Just about has to go along. The Salem city council also has recommended decontrol for Salem, but the matter hasn't come before the governor yet. raised a point of order a challenge against an amendment which would have required ECA to ear mark $1,500,000,000 for buying sur plus American farm commodities. The amendment was sponsored by Senator McClellan (D-Ark ). Lucas's fight to kill the McClellsn smendment led finally to a ruling by Vic President Barkley which was challenged by Senator Taft IR-Ohlo). The senate sided with Taft by a vote of 61 to 38. And then McClelland challenged the entire bill with a point of order which automatically sent the meas ure back to the committee. The basic Issue was not European recovery but whether the amend ments violated senate rule by writ big new legislation Into an appro priations bill. The constitution re quires that all appropriation origi nate in the house. Barkley told reporters the people of Europe should not be alarmed by the vote because It waa purely a technical matter of senate rules. Ha predicted a foreign aid money bill will be passed. But the action wiped out four days of senate debate and left th Issue hanging in doubt possibly for weeks. Chairman McKellar and Senators McClellan and Wherry (K-Neb I all said they saw no reason for the committee to back down on th amendments oposed by th senate leadership.
