Just when cooler heads in the Administration had about decided to forget the whole thing, up jumped Connecticut's Democratic Brien McMahon last week to wave excitedly at an old dragon. Joined by Oregon's Republican maverick, Wayne Morse, McMahon presented a resolution: the Foreign Relations Committee should spend $50,000 to find out whether any attempt had been made by any group representing Nationalist China to influence U.S. foreign policy since Pearl Harbor...
Year after year, men cruising timber or hunting deer in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon had come back with the same story. Near the little hamlet of Kamela, they had often heard a faraway tinkling, a ghostly bell ringing. No one was ever able to track down the strange sound. It would fade away in the sighs of the wind through the big pines. Skeptics accused the men of hearing things...
...lumber companies have been given most of the blame for this drastic, and usually wasteful leveling of the nation's tall timber. Last week the biggest lumber company in the U.S. took another big step to build the forests up again. In a stand of Douglas fir near Oregon's misty Coos Bay, John Philip Weyerhaeuser Jr., Yale-educated president of the $273 million Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., unveiled a plaque to mark 203,000 acres of second-growth timber set aside as a "tree farm."

People who used to pretend that it was for the dog now came right out and said it was going...
...steel, oil, tobacco or aluminum cases disclosed the existence of greater power in one organization directly to affect the economic life of so great a geographical area ... as does the record in this case." As evidence of that power, Evans cited figures: in the five-state area of California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Washington, Transamerica controls 47 banks, with 667 banking offices which have about 41% of all banking space, 30% of all deposits, 50% of all bank loans. To break up this concentration, Evans recommended that FRB order Transamerica to sell all of its stock in the 47 banks...
