Trees, which for some years
have been treated only casually in
reckoning current resources in
many parts of Western Maryland,
are again coming to the fore in
figuring out the local economy.
Trees are beginning to count
again, say the local foresters. The
economists back them up, as for
instance here in Garrett County,
where tree planting and tree har-
vest. along with related activities,
are rated at about quarter mill
lion dollar annual factor in the
local economy.
At a recent session of technical
forcsters of the Department Of
Forests and Parks for Western
Maryland, District Forester Thorn
as Thayer was asked to give a
breakdown of this new economic
aspect Of trees in that County.
After explaining the depleted
forest conditions in many AEegany
upland areas and the shifting
market demands which have ac-
counted for a worsening of the
local forest economy since World
War II, Thayer stated that pick
up in tree planting interest in
the county was first noted about
10 years ago.
The foresters do not claim the
whole credit for this upsurge in
interest. Thayer said. Business OPP
portunities, he said, such as the
new practice of growing trees,
especially cultivated for the Christ
mas tree market have helped AL
SO public conservation programs
help in defraying the costs of
labor for clearing land and put
ting the trees in the ground.
After discussing these matters
with local bankers and industrial
leaders. Thayer said he thinks the

Garrett County has been allotted
only $4,000 tree seedlings for 1861.
This is only slightly more than
half of the number of trees
planted last year. In 1860 more
than 100000 trees were planted
by private landowners in Garrett
County Foresters Arthur A. Nor
rill and Paul r. Mateer, Jr., re-
port that even now about Of
the trees allotted have been prom
ised to local landowners THESE
trees are furnished free of charge
by the Maryland Department of
Forests and Parks on a strict first
come first served basis. Late
Corners are certain to be disap-
pointed.

economic value to the County area
as a result of the past ten year
effort could be summed up some
what as follows;
Value of million trees de-
livered, planted and growing on
the hil5sides of the County esti-
mated at a worth not cost of
$500 per thousand at present
stage Of growth as S149000.
Income to date, as far as known,
from Christmas tree and like
sales $4,000.
Income to County from Agri-
cultural Conservation program and
like sources by way of sharing
landowner planting and other
labor costs $4,000.
Incidental expenditures for gaso-
line, carriage, tools, equipment and
incidentals for planting manage
ment operations and sales unde-
termined, but probably in excess
of $4,000.
This, said Thayer adds up to a
total economic value Of around a
quarter million dollars And it is
a continuing value he said. It is
more apt to get better than worse
as more products are harvested
and more trees are planted to
take their place from wear to year.

AirIines Ask CAB
For Brood Probe
In Merger Case
BY the Associated Prsss

Major airlines a yesterday
asked the Civil Aeronautics
Board to expand the merger
proceeding of United and Cap1
ital AirlineS into a broad in
vestigation Of air service to
Chicago, New York and other
Eastern metropolitan centers.
United and Capital opposed
any such expansion, as did
Vickers-Armstrongs, Ltd, the
British manufacturing firm
which induced the merger pro-
posal through a foreclosure
suit against Capital.
Vickers-Armstrongs counsel
said the firm is fearful that
broadening the issues would
delay the proceeding.
The British firm, which ap-
proves the merger plan, has
withheld foreclosure on Capi-
tails feet Of Viscount planes
for default Of payment, on con-
dition that the merger be ef-
fected promptly.
Thomas L. Wrenn, CAB as
sociate chief examiner. said as
the hearing opened that he
understood the case would deal
solely with the issue of transfer
to United Of Capitals routes.

U. S. Space Test

LONDON. Sept. 16 (AP).-
European scientists, led by
British space expert Prof
Bernard Lowell, are asking the
United States Air Force to
cancel an experiment which
would put millions Of thin
metal strips into orbit around
the earth.
The merican project
known as Needles" is intend
ed to find out whether the
metal strips would serve in
stead Of satellites to bounce
radio signals back to earth.
Prof. Lowell, director of
Britain's giant radio telescope
at Jodrell Bank, said astrono-
mers viewed the experiment
with grave concern"
1t is a possible danger to
astronomical research, both

explanation of the sequence of
official statements on the
Mitchell-Martin case in recent
weeks.
AS the Un-American Activi-
ties Committee resumed its seS-
sion this afternoon to hear
NSA officials, a House Services
subcommittee recesse its
closed hearings until Monday.
That investigating group which
heard Mr.. Burke and NSA Of
f1cials yesterday, questioned
Army, Navy and Air Force Sc
curity and intelligence officers
for several hours today.
Representative Kilday, DEM
ocrat of Texas, the subcom-
mittee chairman, said the
questioning dealt mainly with
hiring and screening proceed
ures for employees in sensitive
security positions.
The subcommittee will ques-
ton Central Intellig e n C e
Agency officials Monday and
then probably recess for sew
eral days so that the subcom-
mittee staff can evaluate teSti-
mony thus far.
Mr.. Walter commented after

Evening star., 1960-09-16

after the first meeting of his
groups closed hearings that the
Pentagon fatty refused, to give
the committee the detailed per-
sonnel files of Bernon Mitchell
and William Martin.
Mr.. Walter indicated to
newsmen that his committee
has information that one of
the two men might have be-
longed at one time to a left
wing organization listed by the
Attorney Generals Office as
subversive. The chairman did
not identify the organization
or which defector was involved.

Assistant Secretary Of De-
fense Murray Snyder was ques-
toned today as a previously
unscheduled witness, together
with j. Vincent Burke, the de-
partment's general counsel. Mr.,
Walter said Mr.. Snyder was
asked particularly to explain
why Pentagon officials origi-
nally gave out misleading or
inaccurate statements about
Mitchell and Martin and SUBJ
sequently modified those state
ments.
Neither Mr.. Walter nor Mr.,
Snyder revealed the Pentagon's
