Newspaper Page Text2 Th Newi-Review, Roseburg, Proposed Merger Of BLM Units Approved (Continued from Psge One) may purchase timber In the South Umpqua unit, the timber can't be moved from the marketing area. The same situation holds true for miUs in the South Umpqua area in the purchase of timber in the Douglas area. The board reasoned that the reg ulations are "discriminatory," since both units and areas are "integral" parts of the inland .Umpqua Basin. Mills in the Roseburg, Dillard, Myrtle Creek and Canyonville ar eas are in both master units and marketing areas. Consolidation of the small ad ministrative units into larger ones, Watts explained, would simplify management and statistical work in the Roseburg office. To Simplify Operations As it stands now, a calculated allowable annual cut is figured for each of the 16 small units. If BLM foresters run into a problem of access or unsuitability of tim ber for harvest, then part of the allowable cut in some of the small units might be lost because the cut can't be transferred to another district. ' , By merging, Watts said, tne BLM will gain "greater flexibility of operations." ..... , He said the Intent Isn t to dis rupt distribution of timber sales, but to meet unusual situations. The four large units would be located in the Drain area, the North Umpqua-Calapooia Creek wBtarhis. in the Dillard area .....Ik ia the nuthprn dijtlrift boun dary and in the South Umpqua The third recommendation Is to "examine the appropriateness or . . , -..4U me present jocauun ul mo luum ern boundary of the Douglas mar Irnfinrt " Part of the headwaters of Cow Creek now is in the BLM's Med ford District.

Abbott insisted he had no idea .how they got there. An ironic twist of fate made Ab bott's wife eligible to apply for the $2,500 reward posted by Steph anie's parents. The reward waa offered for in formation leading to her discovery. In Berkeley, police agreed the key information that led to the body was Mrs. Abbott's discovery of Stephanie's purse. . The body was found on a steep hillside about 60 feet from the cabin by reporter Ed Montgomery and photographer Bob Bryant of the San Francisco Examiner, and the two ranchers. Hunch Pays Off Montgomery, a 1950 Pulitzer Prize winner for exposing federal income tax rackets, follewed a hunch that led to discovery of the girl's body, Montgomery, feeling that a search by officers around Abbott's mountain cabin, had not been wide enough, persuaded Harold Jack son, one of the ranchers, to bring his dogs into a search. The re porter said he and Bryant had noticed an "odd odor" on a man-zanita-covered ridge near the cabin Tuesday. He and Bryant had to wait until Jackson got through work late Wednesday before they could make the search with the dogs. Clothes Identified The remote cabin is near Hay fork on the Trinity River, 50 miles west of Red Bluff on Highway 101. The clothing on the body looked like those Stephanie was wearing the day she vanished on the way home from school. In Berkeley, Abbott's arrest at his home was the first time he ac tually had been taken into custody in the case. He had appeared voluntarily for questioning and taken two lie de tector tests. Abbott has shown a cooperative attitude throughout, according to police, and told newspapermen he was as anxious as anyone to "get this thing cleared up so I can go back to normal living."
