Governor Hails Boeing's Interest
SALEM (API The Senate
State and Federal Affairs Com
mittee voted unanimously Wed
nesday for a resolution ordering
the state Public Welfare Commis
sion to adopt a plan for statewide
use of surplus food immediately.
But the resolution has no teeth
in it. It doesn't have the force of
law.
The Public Welfare Commission
already has said it doesn't have
any funds to put the program into
effect. It taid it is the responsi
bility of the state Department of
Finance and Administration to
provide surplus foods directly tc
those counties which ask for them.
As yet, no county has.
qGov. Mark 0. Hatfield took the
commission to task for not using
surplus food for welfare cases
and those whose incomes are
small ill the present period of i
high unemployment.
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, D-
Portland, author of the resolu
tion, said, "This points up thi
need for the governor's reorgani
zation plan. We have been getting
alibis and buck passing, so we
now can't pinpoint the responsi
bility on anybody. If we had the
reorganization plan in effect.
then we could blame the gov
ernor."
The Public Welfare Commission
now is expected to come back
with a request fo,' funds to put
the policy in effect.

SALEM (AP) The legislative
investigation of Gov. Mark Hat

Public Welfare Commission will
begin with a public hearing here!
at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
This annorneement was made
Wednesday by Reps. Norman
Howard, chairman of the House
State and Federal Affairs Com

man of the House Public Health
and Welfare Committee.
The two committees were asked
by House Speaker Robert B. Dun
can to investigate the governor's
charges.
He has accused the commission
of being incompetent in financial
administration, and with failure to
follow his orders for a statewide
surplus food and work relief program.
Howard and Mrs. Peck, both
Portland Democrats, said the wit
nesses at the hearing would in
clude members of the commis
sion, members of the legislative
interim committee on welfare,
Welfare Administrator Jeanne

Gophers On
Increase
In County
Pocket gophers now on the in
crease in Klamatn county are
found in practically every part
of Oregon, but are most numer
ous and destructive in the culti
vated valleys of the state.
Of the various species of pocket
gophers in Oregon, the one known
as tho mountain species occurs
most frequently in Klamath Coun
ty.
These gophers attain a length of
from seven to nine inches and
have heavy shoulders and slout
forelegs armed with strong claws
used for digging. Large powerful
gnawing teeth are also used for
digging. On each side of the head
is a fur-lined pouch that opens.
externally, instead of into the
mouth, ns in the case of the squir
rel. Colors van- from brownish:
yellow to dark brown.
Pocket gophers are especially
fond of alfalfa fields and may
spend tht-ir entire life there, lit
erally honey-combing the field with
their burrows. Much of the alfalfa
may be ruined .and difficulty in
controlling irrigation water is of
ten encountered. The loose mounds
of earth thrown up by the gophers
add to the depredations of these
pests but these may be used to
mark the course of the tunnets
when control measures are under
taken.
Food consists mainly of rools,
nlfalfa and clover roots probably
being the most desirable to the
gopher, however, they do feed on
other roots, including vegetables
as well as other crop plants.
wnere only a small area is
infested persistent use of a few
special gopher traps will 'usually
give the desired results. On large
areas, trapping is too slow and ex
pensive and poisoning is the bet
ter method. Fresh carrots make
an excellent bait when cut into
pieces Vt" x i" x 2'-.", and
dusted with strychnine alkaloid at
the rate of one level teaspoon of
strychnine to each quart of fresh
cut bait. Cairot pieces may be
put into a paper sack, or a can
having a tight lid (a two-pound
coffee can is good) and shaken
and turned until the poison is
evenly distributed over all the
pieces. The bait is then inserted
into the runways by means of a
probe, such as a sharpened wood
stick. An excellent probe can be
made of a piece of fc iron rod
shaped like a cane, and having
a rounded point.
Probe between the mounds until
a tunnel is located and insert a
piece of bait, which being smaller
than the probe hole should drop
well into the burrow.
Burrows eight to 12 inches in
depth are the best to bait since
these are more likely to be main
runways and used most frcquenl
ly by the gophers. One or two
pieces of bait is sufficient per
hole. Baits should be placed 10
to 12 feet apart, two or three
baits are usually enough for eachi
series of mounds if main runways I
are baited.
14 witnesses before the jury Tues
day including Lindsey who was
inside the closed chambers for
about an hour.
Lindsey was sentenced last Fri
day to death for the kidnap sex-
slaying of Rose Marie. He was
taken from jail this morning un
der escort of Chief Criminal Dep
uty Sheriff Loren G. Fote for
transfer to San Quentin Prison.
Although Lindsey confessed to
choking and raping the girl, he
accused his wife of inflicting a
fatal beating with a lug wrench.
Rose Marie's head was nearly
crushed from 19 blows.
Mrs. Lindsey has claimed that
Lindsey forced her from their
auto after the kidnaping. She said
Lindsey drove into a lonely field
where he assaulted the girl whose
body was discovered five days
later following the couple's arrest
near Livermore.
Nelson said he was "convinced
Mrs. Lindsey was present and did
the beating."
Washington Man
Is Found Guilty
PORTLAND (AP) Ernest
"Duke" Arnold, 33, of Dalicsporl
Wash., was convicted of .threei
narcotics counts Tuesday by a
U.S. District Court jury.
Police said Arnold has been ar
rested and charged man' times
before with narcotics violation.
but never before was convicted of
the charges. He was convicted
Tuesday of sale, possession and
transportation of heroin.
Arnold was one of 13 men in
dicted in December by a federal
grand jury here. Two others of the
13 have been convicted.
Sentence was deferred pending
a pre-sentence investigation. New
federal laws make a minir:um
five-year prison term mandatory

dickering for use of the vast tract
Northeastern Oregon. There
were reports that Boeing would
build on the site facilities for
manufacture of rocket propellant.
Hatfield said the lease applica
tion resulted from negotiations
between the company and the
state. He said that Boeing cannot
predict the extent of its activities
at the Boardman site.
"Nevertheless," Hatfield said,
"I believe we a r e fully justi
fied in calling this the most sig
nificant industrial development in
many years."
Hatfield said he could give no
figure on the development, but
said it could run into millions of
dollars.
He said that the lease would be
for 80 years and provide for the
use of the site for industrial, re
search and development purposes
Annual rental of $60,000 adjusted
to 10-year intervals to reflect in
flationary factors will be paid for
the land, he said.
Hatfield said the impact on the
Oregon economy will be felt in
new wealth and payrolls, in ex
pansion of trade and service in
dustries, in new income for local
and state governments.
Perhaps the most important
thing, he said, is that Oregon now
is solidly in the space age with a
prime aerospace technology in
dustry.
Boeing's occupancy of the site
and the start of the rental pay
ments will begin when the state
completes acquisition by moving
the Navys practice bombing
range to Northern Lake County,
he said.
Boeing will assume costs of mov
ing, he said.
Hatfield said it was hoped that
the transfer will be completed
well in advance of an initial dead
line of Dec. 20, 1961, specified in
the lease application.
Hatfield included in his confer-l
100,000-acrei remote and largo location.
'The company believes that;
testing bieger and more powerful
power plants of different types is!
a key requirement lor progress
in the aerospace field," a Boeind
release said.
Such activities would involve
high energy rocket fuels or even
nuclear engines.
Boeing said while it had no spe
cific plans, for immediate use of
the site it felt it would be ad
vantageous to have the site avail
able.
"Current Boeing aero-space di
vision activity includes major re
sponsibilities in the Air Force's
Bomarc, Minutcman and Dyna
Soar programs. Although it is not
a manufacturer of rocket engines,
it has sought work in booster as
sembly and booster- stages for
very high thrust space vehicles.
Boeing said its interest in the
Boardman area stemmed from its
accessibility. It is on the Colum
bia River and is served by a near
by highway and a main rail line.
The Columbia River in the area
accommodates large barge traffic.
Hatfield said the state goal was
a company in the forefront of
space exploration programs and
activity, and he added that in Boe
ing the slate nas a icnam urn-
nently qualified.
Hatfield said tne state agency
that handles the lease presum
ably the Land Board would pay
the taxes on the new land. He
said Boeing would pay the taxes
on improvements on the property.
The state now gets 8 cents an
acre lor leasee, came lanas in
Lake County and the $60,000 rev
enue at Boardman would be con
siderably more than this, he said.
The Boiirdnian Bombing Range
is a 96,000-acre tract, but Hatfield
said the addiUonal 4.000 acres
was added by the state. He said
private land holdings were ac
quired to insure the river-froni
area for the property.
