SALEM Gov. Hohcrt D. Holmes
and Secretary of State Mark Hat
field, contenders in the next gu
bernatorial .race, have had much
to say on the subject of capital
punishment.
Governor Holuves has come out
flatly for abolition of capital pun
ishment and has asked the people
lo voto it out of the constitution
in November. He has commuted
two death sentences while in office.
Hatfield's public .statements have
been a hit more cautious, lie say
he will "carry out the mandate ot
the people" with regard to capital
punishment.
The Republican secretary, how
ever, has scored the governor tor
imposing his "personal philusphy"
upon the judicial processes of the
state.
Hatfield has said he would use
the commutation authority only in
the light ol facts such as now
evidence pertinent to the case at
hand rather than "basing action un
personal opinion."
As a private matter, Hatlield has
said he favors the universal aholi
tion of capital punishment based
not so much on moral argument
as on the inequality with which
tlic death sentence is imposed, lie
adds that these teelings would not
enter into any specilic case.
The governor seems to feel that
commutation of death sentences
should be the rule while Hatlield
feels it should he the exception.
The governor's stand against the
death penally has been made
tougher politically because the one
man now under death sentence
liilly Junior Nunn was convicted
ol killing a 14-year-old boy in a
crime invoking sex.
Hut the governor has stuck to
his guns, explaining it to the Ore
gon Prison Association this way:
"I know- there are many atro
cious murders committed by per
veils and liy psychopaths. But we
do not soke the problem of per
version by killing the pervert, nor
the Inrnrs and abnormalities of
tlic psychopath by leading one to
the gas chamber."
The governor recently granted
Nunn a l'.'-month reprieve while
the Slate Supreme Court considers
an action brought by the dead
boy's parents challenging his right
to exercise powers of commuta
tion. A decision in the case will prob
ably come much sooner, but the
governor apparently granted the
year's reprieve to eliminate the
possibility of charges bringing
pressure to bear on the court.
The governor's position on the
death penalty is that it does not
prevent murder in any degree and
he believes, along with Hatlield.
that it is also applied unevenly
with the poverty stricken or ig
norant getting the death sentence
most often.
Holmes has placed more em
phasis on the moral wrongncss ol
taking a life than Hatlield has in
arguing against capital punish
ment. If the people do vole to take the
capital punishment clause out ol
the constitution in November, it
will be up to the State Legislature
to find a way lo implement their
wishes in the matter.
I.iiiiiIm'i Future

Pres. Nat'l. Lbr Mlrs. Association
Lumber production is showing
signs of recovering from the ab
normal lows of recent months.
Much of this is traceable to grow
ing indications that the nation is on
the verge of a new surge in home
building.
about four per cent above produc
tion.
5. Signs of an improvement in
farm income suggest a mare fa
vorable outlook for farm construc
tion, a prime market for lumber.
6. Railroad and industrial plant
demand for lumber can be expect
ed to improve once these segments
of the economy share in a general
business upturn
7. Reports from retail lumber
dealers indicate a feeling of opti
mism for the coming months. Re
tail stocks, like mill inventories,
have been reduced, so any appre
ciable increase in retail demand
would be translated quickly into
new business for the manufacturer.
Actually, 1958 may turn out to
be a year in which the lumber
industry has had to mark time
Many manufacturers are taking
advantage of the lull to seek new
ways of lowering production costs,
improving quality rontrol proce
dures an- developing better cus
tomcr relations.
This will put our industry in a
stronger position to take advan
tage of next year's opportunities
most notably, the prospect of a
banner year in home building.
One of tqc most encouraging de-
While lumber output during the, . ,. u l." .l.
first three months of 1958-7,311,. ,..Ju.. , '
000,000 board feet was down an
estimated 10 per cent from the
year-ago level, figures for the sec
ond quarter arc expected to show
a somewhat smaller percentage of
decline.
The biggest months for lumber
output June, July, August and
September are yet to come. Con
ceivably, production during t h e
second half of 1958 could boost
this year's total output to the point
where it equals or even exceeds
by two of three per cent the
11157 level of .13,,191,00fl,O00.
Much, of course, depends on gen
eral economic conditions. Regard
less of what the federal govern
ment does lo stimulate home build
ing, our country's general business
climate will have a marked in
fluence on housing demand during
(he succeeding months of 1958.
At the same lime, a strong show
ing in home building could he a
key factor in helping the country
to recover from its present econo
mic downturn.
It is interesting to note that
lumber production during the first
quarter of this year has been only
a shade below output in the same
months of 1950. As home building
moved into high gear during the
middle and closing months of 1950
and went on to establish a new
ill-time record of nearly 1.4 mil
lion units for the entire year
lumber production likewise rallied
to a postwar peak of 38,902.000,000
board feet.
Many manufacturers believe the
lumber market has hit its present
bottom and that from here on out
the only way is up. 1 am one in
clined lo share the view that our
industry is on the upswing. Here
are some of the circumstances that
support that view:
1. In many parts of the coun
try, poor weather has been respon
sible for curtailing lumber output
during recent weeks. Sunshine and
dry weather could do much to
change the picture in these areas.
2. Lumber inventories ot the mill
have leveled off in recent months,
so the industry is in a much bet
ter position now to feel the full
salutary effects- of a pickup in
new husioess.
3. For the industry as a whole,
production has been cut to the
point where it is now about equal
to shipments. This should head off
any new huild-up ol unwieldy
slocks.
4. A sample survey of 4110 mills
shows now orders for the first
19 weeks of 1958 lo he running
turcrs throughout the country of
a new million-dollar national wood
merchandising program developed
by the National Lumber Manufac
turers Assn.
This program, expected to be
launched later this year, will do
much to help the industry recover
and retain markets lost to competi
tive materials.
AH these factors and others
which there is not Ihe space to
mention here suggest that the
lumber industry has a right to
view the coming months of 1958
with confidence and at least some
degree of optimism.

NEW YORK (AP) You can't
tell the business players in July
without a scorccard. If you accept
the news on face value you could
run up a lot of errors.
It's a tricky month as far as the
statistics go. This year there are
some added confusions.
Persons anxious lo believe Ihe
recession is over and recovery un
derway and (hose fearful that the
more cheerful news of late is a
flash in the pan signifying little
could be fooled by July.
Here arc some of the things
likely to happen that the wary
should take as cause neither for
panic nor over evaluation:
The rise in steel production is
one of the chief factors cited by
those thinking the recession is
over. But steel production is slid
ing again and the weekly figures
in July may seem sad.
The growing custom of plant
shutdowns for vacations in indus
tries using steel may be more
widespread and last longer Ibis
year than usual. The burst of steel
orders for June delivery to beat
any price rise may have borrowed
quite a bit of what would have
been normal July ordering.
So a cutback in steel output in
July, even if more than usual.
shouldn't lead you to the conclu
sion that the general economy is
turning down again. Watch August
and September orders before
making up your mind.
In the allied metals of copper.
zinc, lead and alum-inum, price
and output confusion could last
well into July. Politics adds much
of the uncertainly as various pro
posals to aid the industries are
kicked around in Congress.
But there is also a labor lactor.
Aluminum wages go up auto
matically August 1, just as steel's

do tomorrow. And copper and
steel users will be taking plant
vacations, so July statistics on or
ders may give little clue to the
fall outlook.
Textiles will look bad for sev
eral weeks as mills close for
various vacation periods. Some
are taking extended ones this
year. The hope is that inventories
will be corrected and the industry
ready for an advance you'll
know later in the year.
The industrial output index,
which took a comforting rise as a
result of the flurry in steel, may
be off more than usual this July
Earlier changeover to auto fac
tories along with slack production
of 1958 models while dealers
wrestle with slocks cculd make
the index drop more than usual in
July.
Also, this would be reflecting
past troubles more than it would
be forecasting fall events.
In a few days you will get the
government's figures on unem
ployment in June. If the figures
jump from May, remember that
added to the unpleasant total of
those now jobless will be the new
ly graduated and other students
looking for work.
Personal income figures, on the
other hand, are due to rise. That
doesn't mean that yours will
necessarily, or that most folk will
be better off. It means that some
workers are getting automatic
wage scale boosts. But most of
the jump will come from the 10
per cent rise for government em
ployes, with a sizable sum of re
troactive pay being handed out.
July figures, in other words.
may seem to mean more or less
than they really do, unless you
read them calmly with the back
ground in mind.

Rheumatoid arthritis (sometimes
called chronic infectious arthritis
or atrophic arthritis) is a serious
condition of the joints. The cause
is not known and its treatment is
Still far from satisfactory. Fortu
nately an increasing amount of re
search is being conducted on it.
Rest is always desirable, both for
the joints which are affected and
for the body as a whole. Simple
remedies to relieve pain, providing
they are not habit forming, arc
also helpful. Aspirin is still a tried
and true remedy.
Many victims of rheumatoid ar
thritis have a tendency to anemia
so that they may need iron prep
aration or, occasionally, blood
transfusions.
The diet for patients with rheu
matoid arthritis, especially during
the early stages, should contain
enough nutrient material a m d
should be high in vitamins. But
there is little evidence that any
single jjicl has a direct influence
on the joint inflammation.
Some people seem to benefit by
a change in climate a warm, dry
climate being the most popular.
This also is by no means a sure
cure.
Doctors have used treatment
with foreign protein injections.
These substances, usually injected
into a vein or muscle, produce a
kind of reaction which seems to
stimulate the resistance. But this
treatment is used less frequently
now than in the past.
Preparations containing gold.
given by injection, have been wide
ly employed in this country and
abroad. When used during Ihe ear
ly stages this seems to have
brought about good results in
many cases. But it must be em
ployed with caution.
Nearly everyone is now familiar
with the use of cortisone and
ACTH in rheumatoid arthritis.
These substances often bring sud
den and dramatic relief of Symp
lons. Unfortunately, however, the
good results usually do not last
long and undesirable side-effects
are frequent. Consequently t h e
search goes on or bcKcr methods
Prolonged conservative treat
ment has great value. The com
paratively simple methods avail
able otten bring goo i results. Sev
eral special mechanical devices
have proved uselul.
And it is important to remem
ber that most victims of rheuma
toid arthritis will never become
so disabled as to be bedridden or
to require a wheelchair.

Hungarian Refugees Test
Cameras In Wrong Spot
SOUTHEND, England (AP) -Three
Hungarian refugees who
said they were just testing out a
new camera by focusing on the
government's lop - secret atomic
weapons center set off a weekend
spy scare in Britain.
The Hungarians, all refugees
who have been granted political
asylum here, were seized by po
lice at their rooming house after
an anonymous telephone tip that
they planned to leave the country.
The Hungarians agreed they
had intended to take a one-day
trip to France, a Sunday crossing
that involves no passports, but in
sisted they had no idea they were
in a restricted area when they
tested their camera.
Police held them 18 hours for
questioning while the films were
developed, then let Ihe men go
when the pictures turned out to
he ordinary snapshots showing
just faces and no secrets.
Police said the background of
the pictures was Foulness Island,
the atomic weapons testing center
in the Thames Estuary just otf
Southend. But it was just a dis
tant haze on the snapshots.
Two of the Hungarians had
been caught snapping pictures in
the wrong places last year. This
lime all were warned to watch
their focus and were let go.
