From Pondosa:
This tiny Eastern Oregon' com
munity, the nearest town to the
NEW GEOGRAPHICAL CENTER
of the United States, was sold at
auction yesterday for $33,925. The
property, which was sold as in
dividual units, included a sawmill,
ten industrial buildings, a general
store, a hotel and 53 homes, and
280 acres of land.
Its half dozen families and a few
local ranchers viewed the demise
of the community with remorse.
. Hmmmmmm.
Why was Pondosa sold?
The answer is interesting. The
timber in the area was CUT OUT
and so the sawmilling industry
MOVED ON.
It's an old story.
In its day, it was a tragic story.
Its day is, rather recent. Three
decades ago even TWO' decades
ago the story of the demise of
Pondosa would have sent shivers
running up and down our spines
here in the state of Jefferson,
where TIMBER is our biggest bas
ic resource.
We would then have looked for
ward forebodingly to- the- time
when OUR timber would be cut
outnd the lumber industry would
nave moved on n ay men mere
was anywhere to move on to.
But- ' '
.' Something NEW has been added.
This new ingredient in our econ
emy is intelligent conservation for
use. Because of intelligent conser
vation. our timber is no longer
something to be MINED, like the
gold of our early days, and when
mined FORGOTTEN.
Timber now is a CROP.
It RENEWS itself just like bar
ley, or pears, or spuds or grass.
Because it grows out of the ground
and renews itself from year to
year, it will always be here for us
to use.
So the old fear is gone,
'. Gone for good. '
Another new ingredient has been
added fiDEK.
By converting trees into liber,
vast new uses for our timber crop

try has glowingly optimistic pros
pects. Its possibilities are unlimit
ed. They're even talking about dis
posable shirts to be made of pa
per, you ii wear em and throw
cm away. They re talking of dis
posable dresses, to be made of
tough, stretchable paper and worn
once and then discarded.
In the residue . from the fiber
industry there are valuable ma
terials. Competent scientists tell
us that a generation hence wood
"chemistry will equal petro chem-

And so on.
In conclusion , ;
One word of caution.
The fiber industry requires WA

We mustn't let it get away from

WASHINGTON (AP) It was
a visit that tugged at the heart
strings timeworn Sir Winston
Churchill paying a call on two
gravely ill old friends.
Accompanied by President Ei
senhower, his host, Britain's for
mer prime minister went to Wal
ter Reed Army Hospital Tuesday
afternoon to see cancer-stricken
John Foster Dulles and Gen.
George C. Marshall, who has suf
fered two strokes.
Marshall, now retired, was U.S.
Army chief of staff in World War
II and worked closely with
Churchill. Dulles, whose illness
forced his resignation as secre
tary of stale last month, also had
participated in many a conference
with the grand old man from Eng
land. Churchill now is 84 and as
Eisenhower put it at his news con
ference Tuesday is showing the
wear and tear of advancing age.
So it was something of a physical
effort for him to go to the hos
pital from the White House.
He and the President first spent
about two minutes with Marshall,
who recognized them but could say
little. Mrs. Marshall told the vis
itors, however, that her husband
was delighted they had come.

He has suggested that as the

L L. Strauss
Praise Told
WASHINGTON (AP)-Dr. Ed-
ward Teller, nuclear physicist
otten called the father of the hy
drogen bomb, pictured Lewis' L.
Mrauss today as a long-standing.
warm and effective supporter of
science.
Teller, of the University of Cal
ifornia's radiation laboratory, said
he has known Mrauss for many
years and could testify to his
"great respect for science and
friendship for scientists."
Teller testified before the Sen
ate Commerce Committee at a
hearing -on the nomination of
Strauss, former - chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, to be
secretary of commerce.
Strauss is serving under a re
cess appointment mape last fall.
His nomination was formally sub
mitted to the Senate by President
Eisenhower on Jan. 17,
Teller's testimony was in sharp
contrast to that received earlier
from two other nuclear physicists.
David li. Mill and David K. injlls,
Inelis, chairman f the Federa
tion of American Scientists, de
scribed Strauss as a vindictive,
narrow-minded man, unfit for the
Cabinet post.
Hill, a former chairman of the
organization, testified that most
scientists in this country would
prefer . to see Strauss completely
out of the government.
Teller was the first favorable
witness heard by the committee
in its extended hearings except
for Strauss himself.
He testified after two days of
highly critical testimony by Sen.
Clinton P. Anderson (D-NM),
chairman of the Senate-House
Atomic Energy Committee.

West, expected to form a new
Jordanian government quickly
today. '
King Hussein named Maiall to
succeed Premier Samir Rifai, the
last pro-Western strong man m the
Arab world who resigned Tuesday
pleading ill health.
The change aroused some spec
ulation that Hussein might be get
ting ready to patch up differences
with President Gamal Abdel Nas
ser of the United Arab Republic.
But Cairo's government-controlled
newspapers attacked the appoint
ment, with Al Gumhurriya saying
it only meant substitution of an
agent of British policy for an
agent of American policy.

Eisenhower himself had when he

Dulles, wearing a blue and white
robe over pajamas, was brought
into the room in a wheelchair. It
was the first public disclosure that
he no longer is doing much walk
ing when out of bed. A State De
partment spokesman said Dulles
still can walk, but finds the wheel
chair more convenient.
"It was so good. Sir Winston, of
you to come and visit me." Dulles
said in shaking hands with
Churchill.
"I wouldn't come to Washington
without seeing you," Churchill as
sured him.

Building Set
On Space Lab
WASHINGTON (API-The gov
ernment today hired General Dy
namics Corp. to supervise con
struction of powerful Vega space
rockets to be used in explorations
of the moon and the planets.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration announced
the award of a 33-million-dollar
contract to General Dynamics'
Convair Division for the design,
constructing, tests and launching.
Convair is to build eight of the
Vegas by the end of 1961.
NASA said Vega should be able
to push aloft a two-ton space lab
oratory that could carry several
men in a 300-mile orbit around
the earth for several weeks.
The Atlas talking satellite this
country sent up last December
had a total weight of about 8,000
pounds including the rocket car
rier, but only 150 pounds of instru
ments.
"Vega represents the first of
our more advanced boosters,"
NASA Administrator T. Keith
Glennan said in a statement. "Its
principal job will be lunar and
planetary investigation.
General Electric Co. received
a $4,120,000 contract to make liquid-fueled,
34.000-pound thrust en
gines for Vega's second stage.
Nikita Views
No Trouble
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP)
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev says there won't be any
trouble m Berlin; whatever length
and course forthcoming interna
tional talks may take. - ,
He made the remarks to a
group of visiting West German So
cialist editors in Moscow. The in
terview was carried in several
German and Austrian newspapers
toaay. ...
Khrushchev reiterated, how
ever, that if no agreement on a
German peace treaty were
reached, the Soviet Union' would
go ahead and sign -a separate tine
with East Germany, .
Then, said Khrushchev, the
Allied occupation of West Berlin
would come to an and, and control
over Western access routes to
Berlin must be exercised by East
Germans.
It was Khrushchev's warning
that the Soviets would cede con-i
trol rights over Allied communi
cations with Berlin that brought
on the German crisis and led to
the calling of an East-West foreign
ministers conference in Geneva to
start next Monday.
Khrushchev said the problem of
a European security system
should not be linked with a peace
treaty for Germany. This was an
apparent rejection of a package
plans for settling European prob
lems that the West has ready to
present at Geneva.
He said that a German peace
treaty was the top issue for the
present.
He said the Soviet Union was
agreeable to the withdrawal of all
foreign troops from East and
West Germany. And, if the NATO
members withdrew their forces
behind the boundaries ' of their
own countries, then, said Khrush
chev, the Soviet Union would with
draw its forces from Hungary
mo Poland.
Finally, the Soviet leader told
tne editors that the German ques
tion was a problem 'of war or
peace.
Unions Seek
More Money
NEW YORK (AP) - The Steel-
workers Union today pressed on
seven more major steel producers
its argument that "everybody else
is getting new wage boosts, so why
not us?"
That's the argument the union
threw at United States Steel Corp.
and three other top industry firms
witn which the union opened for
mal contract talks here Tuesday.
Seven more sets of talks start
with different companies today
and one Thursday so that an even
dozen separate, though correlated
bargaining sessions will be under
way before the week is out.
These are only preliminaries
Four-man teams for the industry
and union - soon will settle down
to the hard bargaining.
Out of a maze of conflicting In
dustry and union economic state

titled to a big new wage boost
and other concessions, and the
steelmakers claiming these would
only upset an otherwise present
ly balanced economy one major
contention stood out.
The union said many other In
dustries are granting sizable wage
twos is to workers, so wny. It
asked in effect, all the fuss about
this also happening in steel?

economist Otis Brubacher told
U.S. Steel, "wage increases have

The second combat-type Snark

Paper Strike
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Sen
ate Labor-Management Committee
tries to find out today whether
New York newspapers and their
distributing firms have bought la
bor peace from gangsters or labor
union officials.
Robert F. Kennedy, committee
counsel, said witnesses in this
windup of a two-day inquiry would
include a dozen or more officials
of a newspaper deliverers union
and executives of the New York
Times, Mirror, Journal-American,
the American Weekly and the Neo
Gravure Co.. a publisher of news
paper supplements.
The committee originally had
announced it would look into a
strike which paralyzed the New
York newspapers for weeks last
fall, but Kennedy said he does not
expect the strike to figure in the
testimony.
Kennedy said the committee's
quest is "whether any payments
have been made to union officials,
directly or indirectly, or to any
gangsters in order to achieve la
bor peace."
The committee ran into a series
of Fifth Amendment picas Tues
day, as it quizzed officials of
newspaper distributing firms and
of the Newspaper and Mail De

vicinity.
Board Votes
Firing Tutors
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -
The Little Rock School Board's
three unyielding segregationists
Tuesday disregarded a walkout by
three moderate numbers and vot
ed to fire 44 teachers in the city's
integration-troubled school sys
tem. Twenty-six of those whose con
tracts would not be renewed are
employed at the closed Central
High School where a handful of
Negroes attended under protec
tion of federal troops in 1957-58,
The moderates Ted Lamb, Rus-
sell-Mnsory and, Evbrett -Tucker;
Jr., left a board meeting called
to consider teacher contracts af
ter announcing they would vote to
re-hire all or none of the system s
800 teachers. Thev said thev
would consider 'any action by the
remaining members as illegal for
latK ot a quorum.
Lamb later said Tuesday's de
cisions would be challenged in
court. Lamb said the trio had
adopted the "all or none" attitude
because they feared a purge by
the segregationists. He said they
wanted to strip the system of
teachers so none would be avail
able to operate the city's four
closed high schools if federal
courts ordered them re-opened on
an integrated basis.
Among those to be fired are the
top officials at Central Princi
pal J. W. Matthews and Vice Prin
cipals J. O. Powell and Mrs. Eliz
abeth Huckaby. Gov. Orval E.
Faubus, who shut the high schools
against integration Sept. 12, has
criticized these three for "show
ing favoritism to Negro students"
while Central was integrated.
Also on the list were L. M.
Christophe, principal of the Hor
ace Mann School for Negroes,
and principals of several elemen
tary and junior high schools. None
of these has been openly active
in tne integration dispute.

WASHINGTON (AP)-A rose is

marigolds get in hero?
Something like this aroma of
confusion arose from the Senate
Office Building today in the wake
and there were enough floral
displays lor a dozen wakes of a
mock hearing on a question which
stirs many a gardener: What
should be the U. S. national
flower? . '
Three senators and a House

You never saw such furious lobby

you when you entered, whether
you liked It or not. Popcorn a

Girl Nabbed
For Kidnaping
DALLAS. Tex. (UPI) Police
arrested Betty Smithey, 16, today
and recovered the 18-month-old
boy she kidnaped near Albuquer
que. N. M Monday. She said she
kidnaped the baby because he was
crying.
The baby is Mitchell Johnson,
son of Mrs. Paul Johnson, psy
chologist at the state Girls' Wel
fare Home in Albuquerque. He
was In good health and was chew
ing on a cracker when he was
brought to police headquarters.
"I like him," the Smithey girl
said. "I like all babies. I started
to run off and this baby started
crying, so I decided to take him
with me.
She was considered fit for re
habilitation and Mrs. Johnson was
letting her work in her home un
der a policy that allows inmates
of the institution to work in homes
or businesses, if it appears they
may reform. '
The baby was recovered in a
drugstore, where the girl ' had
abandoned him. sne was arrested
later in'.a cafeteria while eating
breakfast.
She said she was in the institu
tion for running away from home.
She ran away 13 times from a
sister's home in Phoenix, she
said, and the sister wouldn't take
her back.
She is an orphan, so she went
to the welfare home in Albuquer
que. She said the only reason she
went to work for Mrs. Johnson,
was to get an opportunity to run
away again.
"Running away just comes na
tural to me," she said.
She headed for Dallas because
she has two aunts in Dallas.
She said the reason she decided
to abandon Mitchell in the drug
store was because she had about
run out of money.
Yes, There Is
A Difference
NEWPORT, Ky. (AP) - The
man who stripped down to his
snorts Monday in a do-it-yourself
laundry found out Tuesday why
he shouldn't.
What's the difference?" he
asked. "These women come in
here in shorts to do their laun
dry. Why can't I?"
"It s a difference of the shorts."
Acting Police Court Judgo Conrad
G. Matz told him. Then he fined
the man, James Hamlery, 59, of
Cincinnati, $10 and costs and told
him to get out of Newport.
Judge Matz said the difference
was that the shorts worn by Ham
lery were just plain underwear
neither decorative nor decorous.

iy.
As for the marigold, another
contender in the floral derby: "its
a good looking bath sponge,"
Douglas conceded.
Sen. Thruston -Morton (R-Ky),
who Is committed to just plain
grass, preferably Kentucky grass,
ploughed under the corn tassel:
"a purely male plant. What are
we going to do lose the women's
vote?"
Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa), who
wouldn't hear a word against roses
stomped in turn on Morton's rev
eries of bluegrass.
"I don't thinks he should be so
cud-happy," Scott complained.
And he fired back at corn-pusher
Douglas, who showered Capitol
Hill with a virtual snowstorm ot
popcorn all day.
"I suggest that the amount of
corn on Capitol Hilt Is already suf
ficient," Scott said.
This all came about because a
garden club In suburban Falls
Church, Va., heard about the na
tional flower debate and got Into
the act. It borrowed the Senate
caucus room and invited the legis
lators to hold forth on the merit
of their choices.
Sometime the Congress will get
around to declaring a national
flower.
Maybe.
