Weatherford called for extensive examination into reg ulations governing Oregon's giant timber industry in a speech before headquarters here this alternoon. Stating that present procedures and requirements are forcing in dependent operators to pay as much as 60 per cent over tne ap praised price for National Forest timber, the candidate for U.S. representative for Oregon's Sec ond District said Oregon's timber Workers End Conclave Toil VATICAN CITY AP) Prepa rations were nearly completed to day for the conclave that will elect a new Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Scores of carpenters and masons put final touches to tem porary walls and enclosures that will shut off the electing cardinals from the outside world beginning Saturday. In a corner of the famous Sis tine Chapel, where the cardinals will vote, a shiny, pot-bellied stove was ready to burn their ballots. In St. Peter's Square workmen cleaned the famous Bernini foun tains and prepared the area for the throng that will gather there while the voting is in progress. The cardinals gathered for the conclave held a final congregation to make their last arrangements. Saturday morning they will gather in St. Peter's Basilica for a "Mass of the Holy Spirit," a serv ice specially intended to beseech divine guidance during the con clave. Fifty-two of the 54 living cardi nals are in Rome and expected to attend the conclave. There was still a slight hope that last-min ute arrangements could be made to bring Josef Cardinal Mindszcn ty of Hungary here for the conclave. The U.S. Legation in Budapest, where the cardinal has' been a po litical refugee since November, 1956. was unable to obtain safe conduct for the cardinal from Communist authorities. Nonetheless, just in case, a throne for Cardinal Mindszenty has been placed in the Sisline Chapel. There are 53 such thrones, each topped by a canopy. The only other member of the College of Cardinals who will not attend is Alojzije Cardinal Slopi nac. Primate of Yugoslavia. He is sick and confined by Communist authorities to his native village of Krasic. Bonelli Aides Dispute Law MEXICO CITY (UPl) - Attor neys for William G. Bonelli have challenged efforts to extradite him to California on grounds he could not be tried under Mexican law. The former slate official is .vanted on charges of taking bribes. A brief filed by his attor neys noted that his alleged offen ses occurred in 1952 and early 1953. while the Mexican statute of limitations on bribery is only three years. Bonclli's attorneys argued also lhat Ihe Mexican definition of bri bery differs from the U. S. spec ification of the offense. They charged that a technical flaw exists in the presentation of the extradition case because the file presented to Mexican author ities docs not include a certified copy ol the law he is charged with violating as required hy the U. S. -Mexican extradition treaty. Attorneys (or both sides now have 20 days to submit evidence to the Mexican judge who is handling the case. 1 fjn r ifw FITTINGS Wl HAVI THIM ALL IN STOCK BLACK AND IMMEDIATE DELIVERY 4ji sni no sum industry is sick because of unreal istic and out-moded regulations and restrictions but that a cure exists in the form of sensible leg- j islation that will provide equal con ditions in line wnn current and future requirements. Weatherford said. "Oregon'i timber yield has not been close enough In the allowable cut and is. in fact, costing people of the second district alone millions of dollars annually because timber lhat is legally available has not actually been' made available. He said 45 million feet of timber rep resenting payrolls for 600 easrern Oregon families had been lost in Baker, Union and Wallowa coun ties alone, in this manner, last year. Likening a tree to a lomalo, Weatherford said, "When it is ripe you had better harvest it pretty darn soon or you might as well leave it where it is. And a lost Iree. like a lost lomalo, is lost money." Speaking of ihe unrealistic meth od of survey of National Forest lands, Wealhcrford cited an in stance in Enterprise last week when a mill paid $40,000 for $25.. 000 worth of timber in order to keep operating and keep its men working, charging that insufficient land is being opened to timber operators, even though it is legally available and is now going to waste. Weatherford said technical per sonnel of the Forest Service is insufficient and that an additional one million dollars budgeted for timber cruisers would bring a fi nancial return to county, state and federal treasuries far, greater than itself. "There aren't many federal appropriations these days that make money for the government," he remarked. The Arlington rancher and busi nessman said current regulations requiring counties to spend 75 per cent of their income from Nation al Forest lands on roads and 25 per cent on schools should he changed to allow counties to de cide for themselves how the mon ey is to be spent. "Many counties today have ade quate road systems, but very few of us would say our schools couldn't use more money than they are getting. I believe the counties themselves arc best able to de termine where the money should be spent, rather lhan submit to an arbitrary federal apportionment that should have been changed long ago." he stated. He said he woidd seek a com mission lo study the timber situ ation with respect to unlair open end contracts, distribution of funds, method of survey, lack of ade quate technical personnel, and gen eral procedures under which the Forest Service and the timber in dustry are forced to operate. Dog-Gone; Show Master Closeup Of Living Grouse LANSING, Mich. (AP) Robert Huff says his dog pointed grouse six times during a recent hunting trip. Huff missed his shot every lime.
