KMB Ê1UU ffiiH) * Thursday, June 14, 1951 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON By Harris Ellsworth, M. C. The bill which is generally re ferred to as the universal mili- taiy training and selective serv- ice bill has been finally ap proved. The last action in the long legislative procedure of making a law’ is the approval of the report of house and senate Conferees. A bill is often drastically • mended by one house after it lias been passed by the other. A conference committee com- posed ot ranking members from the proper legislative commit- tees of both house and senate meets and adjusts the dififer- nces between the two bodies. 'he final draft of nearly every mportant piece of legislation is 'ritten in that way. Inasmuch as vhe conference is limited to the principles contained in either the house bill or the senate bill or both, it is usual practice for both houses to accept a confer ence report.

KINDEL, Attest: ('hr., Board, Directors Dora E. Beaulieu, Clerk. The final or conference draft of the UMT-Draft bill is basically the house bill rather than the senate bill. The house version of the most important features of the bill was accepted by the senate. Perhaps the twro most controversial and most discussed details of the two bills was the draft age limit and the method of starting UMT. The house 18^ age limit for selectees was ap proved as was the house pro cedure for establishing a com mission to work out the details of a UMT plan. It should be noted that this legislation does not actually set up a system of UMT. It merely provides for the establishment of such a program. The congress must act once more on the re port of the UMT commisison before any training program is startl'd. The people of Gold Beach and lower Rogue river country re- cently sent a group of very able representatives back here to Washington to appear before the Board of army enginees in be half of the proposed harbor de velopment at Gold Beach. The delegation was headed by Earl Foster of Gold Beach and in- cluded the able and distinguished attorney John C. Kendall ot Portland (former circuit judge for Coos County), and engineer ing consultant Don Gurnee. 1 at tended the hearing and was greatly impressed by the excel lence of the presentation both oral and written.

This meeting is called tor the purpose of ('looting One Dircc- i tor for a term of three years, and the transaction of business usual at such meet ing.

For example, it was shown that the government itself will lose1 more then the entire cost of the project every ten years by not harvesting the allowable cuts on its timber acreage. That timber, if not used, will simply rot back into the soil. Little or no har vesting of forest service timber is being done now because of lack of transportation. The board will give a decision on the proj ect at its July meeting. It takes a long time to get such a project to the construction stage. In 1948 the first hearing was held on this project. The district (nqincer made a favor able report in 1949 which was approved by the division engi neer ant sent to Washington for board approval. The board made a study and came up with the statement that it was "uncon- Gm°d.” Hence the hearing was called. Next step will be auth orization of the project by Con gress. After that it will Ke elig ible for appropriations. All of these steps take a lot of time, but if the board of army engi neers gives it approval I think we will eventually have a small t exceedingly valuable harbor at Gold Beach. sent by the local Legion post and.

Since the occasion was a cen tennial, the local float depicted an Indian settlement in the wild country, this must hare been a century ago. Much credit is al so due to George Funk and Joe Rose who helped Ross Putnam in its creation. It is remarkable what a little co-operation can accomplish in all things. Take for instance the Chetco Wranglers who trucked their horses to Port Orford, had uniform shirts so that the parade might be colorful as far as pos sible.
