Engle Asks Change In Forest Unit WASHINGTON Ml Two Oregon and Washington Congressmen Fri day opposed a pioposal that the Lakeview, Ore., sustained yield forest unit be abolished or enlarged to Include a nearby California lum bering concern. The proposal was made by Rep. Engle (D-Callf.) who accused the Forest Service of taking It upon itself to determine "who's troinc to survive and who's going broke. ' ncp. Macs iK-wasn.i told a House Agriculture subcommittee passage of Engle'a bill would set a precedent and "create a tear In Uie communities where such programs now exist that would defeat the pur pose oi ino-OMi. ' Rep.

Cliff, assistant chief forester and former forest supervi sor of the Fremont National Forest in which the unit lies, said 60 per cent of the Lakevlew-Palsley com munities are dependent on wood using Industries for support. He said the unit can support a cut of only 50 million board feet yearly although the four mills already In the two communities have a capa city of 65 million. These mills, he said, support the two 'communities while the Willow Ranch mill, which Engle would Include within the unit, would not because It Is In Californln. Engle contended geographical and not state boundaries should determine the unit. The subcommittee took the ques tion under consideration. Door Prize CORNINO, N.Y.

" t Spud Ceilings Off, Growers Tote Loss By MALCOLM EPLEY JR. Farm Editor Too late to do Klamath spud growers a lick of good. Uie Office of Price Stabilization yesterday lifted price controls on white po tatoes that's all potatoes rirown in this part of Uie country for com mencal purposes. Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnal) said Ihe action was taken as a result of a vote in Uie Senate Wednesday PRICE RISE WASHINGTON in The govern ment reported Friday that whole sale price of white potatoes shot Up as much aa f2 and 54 per hundred pounda overnight after the removal of price ceil ings. to discontinue control over fresh runs and vegetables. Local potatomen estimate some 800 Klamath grower lost a total of 52.000,000 because of ceiling prices, or an average of about 53.500 each. They figure housewives were saved probsbly a lew dollar each since Uie program went into effect in mid-January. The ceilings, not set at the retail level, rolled back the prices fanners were actually Ike Returns To New York ABILENE. Kans. (' Gen El. senhowcr left for New York Friday, prepared to step up his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Before leaving his bovhood home town of Abilene, where he made his first out of uniform sneech and held his Urst press conference opened to political questions. Uie general slipped away for a quiet visit to his old home and the creamery where he once worked. At the train a crowd estimated at from several hundred to a thou sand persons pressed around for a last goodbye to the general and his wife. Both or the Eisenhowers were busy signing autographs. in new York it was announced that Elsenhower will hold a news conference In the Hotel Commodore Friday morning. The sessions in Abilene. Sen. Carlson (R.-Kans.) said, caused "national sentiment to shift toward Ike." Carlson, a leader In Uie Eisen hower campaign, said Uie events in Abilene won over to Uie general some delegates who previously had been supporting Sen. Toft, one of Uie leading contenders for Uie COP nomination. McKay Solid Ike, Fan PORTLAND Wl Governor Mc- Kuy was an ardent Eisenhower supporter before he went to Abi lene, upv he is ecstatic. The governor returned to Oregon Thursday night after meeting Ei senhower in Kansas. ."Just to shake the man s hnnd would give anyone a thrill. He :s genuine. He puts on no airs. He is n renl Americnn. I hnve seen all the other candidates now and more Uinn ever I am sold on Eisenhower," McKay said. McKay will report on his . visit with Eisenhower when he meets with Oregon Republican presi dential delegates at Salem Saturday. Answers Ike getting for a hundred pounds of spuaa oy more than 51.50. EFFECTS In Washington. D. C, the As sociated Press reported Stabilizer Arnall said the vote In the Senate would have these effects: 1. It will make effective enforce. mcnt of the potato price regulation virtually impossioie. 2. Distribution of the potato crop would be so complicated since shippers would tend lo withold supplies In expectation that con trols on potatoes would be ended by Congressional action July 1. The price of potatoes shot up- waras tnis season because ol low production, much ol which was probably brought on by the drop ping of price supports on potatoes by the government. Even without any announced supports this year. poiato production is expected to In crease to a great extent. Already planted acreage in tho Klamath area is estimated. at about 25 per cent above last year, though about live per cent below 1850 s record crop year which saw surpluses turned under and fed to stock in many parts of the country. During Uie early potato price ceiling fight, spud men announced they felt a check of UulaUon was necessary, even In Uie potato in dustry, but that the controls as then established, were not lair. BLACK MARKET'" The following potato shortage which brought out signs of "yes, we have no potatoes" in Southern California shops, also stepped up reported black marketing activity. The OPS was reported by Uie AP as charging black market activity in the Klamath Falls and Twin Falls, Ida., areas, but later claimed in a letter to the Herald and News it had been misquoted. though subsequent correspondence with reporters who picked up Uie story failed to straighten out Uie matter. Local growers protested vigor ously to Uie "black market" tag given them, calling on the OPS to show the world where the black market existed. No local black, marketing has been publicly reported, though in one or two cases Uie price office issued restraining orders against buying practices among buyers doing business with Klamath farmers. Wage Survey Convicts 3 Klamath Counlv has Just under gone a "two-month survey" for violations of the state wages and hours act. Labor Commissioner W. E. Kimsey announced Thurs day at Snlem. and three employers have been convicted. Court action against a fourth Is pending. According to Associated press dispatch, the Commissioner said one of the employers convicted re fused to open payroll records for inspection, as required by law, and the two others violated regu lations which limit Uie work week for women to 44 hours. One re portedly had a work week of 56 hours and the oUier 63. The survey, reported Kimsey. also resulted In some employers being ordered to reimburse their employes for overtime work, and in citation of three firms for having unsanitary rest rooms for em ployes.

Taft of Ohio believes his chances for the Republican presidential nomination have been improved since Gen. Eisenhower's speech at Abilene, Kans., Wednesday. . .. The Ohio senator didn't elabor rate but that was the answer he pave to a question put to him Thurs day night in a radio (MBSI broad cast of "Reporter's Roundup." The senator was questioned dur ing the broadcast by Joseph Sag- master, associate editor of the Cin cinnati Times - 8 tar; Joseph Oar retson, Cincinnati Enquirer Colum nist, and Robert L. Rlggs. po litical writer for the Louisville Courier-Journal. TAFT-HARTLEY Discussion of Oen. Eisenhower's speech also brought a statement from Taft that he had the Impres sion Uie general favors repeal of uie I all-Hartley labor law. "The implication Is that he favors the repeal of Uie act," Taft said. "That seems to be the necessary conclusion." ' Taft added, however, that "I hope that I'm wrong In my under standing ol what Oen. Eisenhower said." He reiterated bis belief that the law "is the most effecUve way today of stopping strikes.'' . Eisenhower said in a speech at Aoiiene, &ans., Wednesday the set tlement of grievances and disputes requires a climate ol good win, an appreciation of good citzenshlp and responsible concern for all the people and most important public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of appointed agents and agencies." An ounce of real leadershin and honest speech, Uie general added, will benefit America more than a ton of law that fails to reflect the considered will of the vast majority. we cannot take legislation that compels people to work," Elsen hower said at a press conference. That is regimentation." KOREAN WAR On the subject of the war in Ko rea, Sen. Taft said, "I would try to make peace even though it may be an unsatisfactory peace." Declaring the Korean affair had been "mismanaged,' Taft said there is "great risk In resuming general war with Uie Chinese Com munists." The senator renewed his plea for a strong air force which he said was necessary lo protect the na tion. He said it was "perfectly ridicu lous" to send S10.000, 000,000 to aid Europe at the expense of a strong air force. Taft added that the United States would be open to air attack from Siberia or across the Arctic even though there was a "wall of men across Europe." Storm Strikes Klamath Basin The first thunderstorm of the year flickered lights, started a half dozen fires and brought some mucn-needed rain to the KlamaUi country yesterday afternoon. me Klamath forest protective Association reported lightning strike fires were stopped near Dairy. Shake Butte, near uie Spen cer Ranch at the. foot of Hayden Mountain, at Fox Lake on the mull overlooking Uie KlamaUi River near McCollum's Mill and at Leon ard Creek, near the site where a Japanese balloon bomb killed sev eral picnickers late in worm war II. The Indian Service reported but one fire actually fought, a small lightning blaze near Saddle Mount- tain. SMALL BLAZES All fire were small, reached by fire crews before they could spread or . contained because of following rains. The KlamaUi Reservation report ed .15 inches of rain pretty well covered the area.

Steelman wasn't so specific but said be had talked with McFar land. . . . "I certainly am not pessimistic," Steelman told newsmen, "but I wouldn't want to overstate my op timism." Steelman said both side had been discussing intensively all the complex issues involved. The walkout started Monday aft er the Supreme Court voided Tru man's seizure of the steel indus try. MINE WORKERS More than 100.000 mine. Tali and other workers have also been idled by the steel shutdown. TDe first break in the nation wide strike came late Thursday with announcement that the De troit Steel Corp. had reached a contract agreement with the steel wcrkers. covering 4.500 employes. uetans ot the agreement, nego tiated in Pittsburgh, were not an nounced but a district union of-. ftcial said . they embodied Wage Stabilization Board recommenda tions. These called . for a "package wage increase amounting to 26 cents an hour by next January. Tank Output Hit By Strike WASHINGTON W The Army Is expressing concern over the Im pact of the steel strike on its tank production program. During the past two months, a spokesman said Friday in answer to questions, trie "production pic ture has improved greatly." Eut, ne said, uie steet sirixe "will have an adverse effect on tank production, an effect which wul become progressively worse the longer the strike lasts." ; Tank building represents one of the military's major needs for steel. To make one of the new T-41 together with spare parts, a total of 68,800 pounds' ot steel (34 2-5 tons) must be on hand; a medium tank of about 48 tons needs 118,000 pounds. The army declined to disclose me total amount of light, medium and heavy tanks for the current pro duction program. However, in recent testimony De fore a congressional committee. Gen. J. Lawton Collins. Army chief of staff, remarked that if Congress went through witn a planned cut in the military budget for the next fiscal year starting July 1 the Army would have to "eliminate over 3.000 medium tanks" from its pro gram. He said that would mean we could build only 300 tanks for our army during Uie entire fiscal year." . fc. 4 f fft&ci Sbeaal' CARROLL BACH MAN (above), 320 Damont Street, was snapped this morning at the Sunrise Service Sta tion, 101 E.
