the Army Engineers to determine
the flood control values of the
Oroville Dam In order to ascer

interest of flood control.

Death Takes
Mrs. Jackson
PORTLAND I Mrs. C. S.
Jackson, the tiny, long-lived widow
of the man who built the Oregon
Journal Into one of the West's
large -newspapers, died Friday
night.
Death was due to a stroke.
She was 93, and she had outlived
her- husband, two sons and her
grandson. At death her closest rel
ative was a great-grandson, Peter
Jackson, now 12.
She was chairman of the board
.of the newspaper.
She had been closely connected
with the Journal from the time
her husband took over the strug
gling, four-month-old paper in 1902
and began building it into Oregon's
largest afternoon dally.
Mrs. Jackson announced several
years ago that the paper was being
placed in trust to the Jackson
Foundation. A board of trustees,
headed by Publisher William W.
Knight, operates it.
She long had been active In civic
affairs, and had drawn many hon
ors for her activities.
Mrs. Jackson was a founder of
the George A. White serVlce men's
center, and in 1944 was named
Portland's first cltiten by 'the
Portland Realty Board. She was
one of the few women so honored.
Born in Richmond, Va., in 1862,
she was married to Charles Sam
uel Jackson at Pendleton In 1886.
They remained there until 1902,
when they sold the East Oregon
Ian, bought the Oregon Journal and
moved to Portland.
One of her sons, Francis Clopton
Jackson, was drowned when a
snip same on ine uregon coast in
1919.
Her husband died In 1924, and
her other son, Philip L. Jackson,
became publisher of the Journal.
He died in 1953.
Her grandson, C. S. Jackson II.
the son of Francis, was assistant
managing editor of the Journal,
when he was killed In the crash of
a helicopter In 1947. It is his son,
Peter, who survives.
Tax Basis Told
DUNSMUIR The basis, for
payments in lieu of taxes made
by the U.S. Forest Service to
counties was explained by Clem
Crouch, district ranger of the
Shasta-Trlnlty National Forest, at
the dinner meeting of the Lions
Club Tuesday night, January 31,
at the Travelers Hotel.
Counties receive in lieu pay
mcnts on the basis of acres of na
tional forests within their bound'
aries. Crouch stated. This money
is used for the support of schools
and for road building and main
tenance.
The U.S. Forest Service Is a
profitable government agency,
Crouch told the Lions Club. All
funds collected for timber, graz
ing and other land use go Into the
U.S. treasury and funds are re
allotted for forest service work.
Last year the government netted
over $9 million from its . forest
lands, he said.
Crouch pointed out that because
Siskiyou County is largely national
forest land its citizens should be
aware of this in lieu payment and
also watchful that the present sys
tem of pro-rating payments on a
per acre basis be maintained. He
further stated that counties with
out national forest land would like
to see It divided equally among
the counties, which wouJd bring
a hardship on those paying prop
erty taxes in counties largely na
tional forest land.

tions, made before the December
floods, for congressional appropri
ations for federal flood control
works, but came up .with a (47,
201,000 total request, lower than
made earlier.
2. Called for early state author
ization of works similar to the
Biemond Plan to provide flood
control and salinity repulsion for
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
and to provide efficient transport
of water across the delta for
export to southern areas of de
fiency. 3. Adopted the report of State
Engineer Harvey O. Banks recom
mending Congress appropriate ade
quate funds to expedite or com
plete 12 presently authorized proj
ects, authorize five new projects
and survey another dozen for pos
sible authorization.
4. Accepted a report from a
board of consultants recommend
ing water quality standards to be
applied at the delta to preserve
the quality of water to be exported
south, but deferred action on
adoption of the standards pending
completion of state studies.
Although the board lowered its
total request for federal flood
funds, it asked more for specific
projects where flood damage was
great. Even the lower figure was

President Elsenhower.
Tho board voted to send its
chairman, Clair Hill, and -staff
members to Washington to confer
with the California congressional
delegation and the Army Engi
neers prior to March congressional
hearings.
The board made these major
changes from its previous request:
Cut the requested appropriation
for Coyote Dam on tne Kussian
River from 5.500,000 to $2,250,000
because a local legal squabble had
delayed work, and reduced its re
quest for new Melones Dam from
(500,000 to $300,000 because the
Army Engineers said they could
not spend the larger amount.
Boosted to $1,000,000 its earlier
$58,000 reauest for Terminus Dam
on the rampaging Kaweah River
which caused damage estimated at
$18,800,000, the full price of the
dam.
Upped its request for the San
Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz
County to $200,000 from the earlier
$50,000 recommended because of
the "critical problem" In the city
of Santa Cruz. The board said the
Army Engineers believed the $200.-
000 was the full amount that could
be used In the next fiscal year.
Increased Its request for San
Lorenzo Creek in Alameda County
from $150,000 to $200,000. The local
interests had asked $2,000,000 but
the board said the engineers re'
Dorted It would be virtually impos'
sible to complete planning and
Initiate construction next year.
Doubled its earlier request for
$500,000 for preliminary examina
Hons and surveys after some 25
agencies reported to the board on
their needs, s
Ike Heart Attack
Rumor Disclaimed

GM Earnings
Top Record
Madeln1954
NEW YORK Ifl The bluest
of industry's blue chips came up
with a batch of Jet-propelled 1955
earnings reports this week that
left the record profits of earlier
years in the model T category.
Topping the star-spangled list of
reporting firms was General Mo
tors Corp., the world's biggest au
tomaker. First company in U.S.
history to break through, the billion-dollar
profits barrier, GM last
year racked up net earnings of
$1,189,000,000. That's what the com
pany had left after setting aside
$1,600,000,000 for federal, state and
local taxes.
Also heard from were the
world's biggest oil company, the
world's biggest ateel firm and the
world's biggest copper pr oducer.
Standard Oil Co. (New Jersey),
reporting the "best year in the
company's history," estimated its
1955 profits at 717 million dollars,
up 23 per cent from the year be
fore. A 90 per cent hike was an
nounced by United States Steel
Corp. with profits at a new peak
of $370,197,000, sales and fhlpmcnts

000. Net Income of Union Carbide
& Carbon Corp. shot to a new
high of $140,755,858.
Contributing further to the ebul
lient tone of business were predic
tions by Industry leaders of more
lush profits In 1956. The stock mar
ket snapped out of its January
doldrums with oil shares leading
the advance. Retail trade moved
ahead. Steel set new production
records.
Outstanding soft spot was the
auto Industry which announced
new cutbacks to bring production
Into line with sagging sales.
Beginning Monday, all Chrysler
divisions In Detroit (Including the
Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge and Ply
mouth) will go on a four-day
week. Already shut down for two
weeks was the Packard-Clipper di

so much surgery now.. It's been
