PORTLAND. April 4 -(1PI A
legislative Interim committee to
day proposed creation of a de
partment of natural resources for
Oregon, to be accompanied by a
sweeping reorganization of state
agencies. r . : r
The aim is to put all agencies
now dealing with natural re
sources forests, farmlands,
fishing, mining into the single
department; ' . ! ,
This would bring about the
"co-ordinated ' administration of
the natural resources . . . for
formulation and ; institution of
long-range, comprehensive plans
-. and programs for the conserva
tion, protection, maintenence,
development, wise use and re
newal of the natural resources,"
the committee said.
; ... The committee is a five-member
group on 'natural resources,
named by the last legislature to
study current iroblems. Chairman
Ben Day, Gold Hill, said the
- committee Interviewed many per
sons In drawing up its tentative
bfll. i
The bill will be studied by tha
state agencies affected before be
ing offered at the: next legislative
session. : .
The bill calls for nine divisions
within the department of natural
I resources., These 1 are: Forestry,
' soil conservation,! water conser
vation, sanitation, ; fisheries, wild
life, geology and : minerals, state
lands, and; natural history and
: research. : I
Existing ! agencies would be
transferred to their appropriate
divisions without any change of
J of forest conservation. The state
Tor example, the forestry division
would Include the present state
department of forestry, state
board of forestry and the board
oof forest conservation. The state
forester would become the di
rector of the forestry division.
Over these divisions would be
nine-member natural resources
board, appointed by the governor
! without consent of the senate. In
turn the board would name a gen
eral director to supervise over-all
operations of the department
The department! would have its
headquarters in Salem. The gen
eral director also would be there.
Divisions would be allowed to be
la other cities if present agencies
now are there. j ; k

Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, ""has
done a.fint job" in Japan, and
the Japanese people have a great
deal of respect for America, Dr.
Edward E. Getzlaff said Tuesday
on returning from three years in
the Orient.
'.'The Japanese have appreciat
ed the fact the general has not
treated them like a conqueror, but
rather as a parent who has had
to spank a child," said Dr. Getz
laff. "They look up to the United
States for its many scientific de
velopments and all would like to
visit here. The communist move
ment is not strong and includes
only those, 'soured' on their
plight The country has develop
ed well economically since the
war."
Dr. and Mrs. Getzlaff left Sa
lem in the spring of 1947 to aid
in "the post-war reorganization
of the Tokyo Sanitarium hospital,
in, Tokyo, which Dr. Getzlaff
founded for the Seventh-Day Ad-
ventiats in 1927. They first came
to Salem in 1934 and operated
their own clinic at 14th and Cen

For the time. Dr. Getzlaff said.
they will reside on their 60-acre
farm' in the Aumsville area. Dr.
Getzlaff several years ago aided in
the establishment of the Rose

Leveling Off
Of Grass Seed
Market Seen
By Lillie L. Madsen
Farm Editor. The Statesman
Grass seed growers believe that
everytime they see a new home
going up or hear of the continued
"increase in population in the west
demanding more newi homes."
there is a prospective new buyer
ror lawn grass seeds.
This. in part, is true, and has
been particularly true in recent
years. But there is a saturation
point, the United States depart
ment of agriculture is pointing out
xis marxet experts seem to be of
the opinion that this market is
now showing s tendency to level
ori.
The acreage of lawn or turf f es
cues, grown for seed has increased
considerably over a period of
years. Creeping red fescue from
Canada and chewings fescue from
New Zealand are available to
supplement domestic production
in short crop year such as 1949
proved to be. However, they are
also available to compete in years
of large yields. .
More competition from other
turf seed is predicted. Kentucky
bluegrass has been short ln'recen
years, but supplies are now near-
ing normal.
Recent cost studies indicate that
returns from chewing; 'fescue will
compare favorably with other
crops at somewhat less than recent
prices. The same is said to be
"probably true" of creeping red
fescue.
The market for tall fescue seed.
used primarily for forage purposes
is reported as expanding. Here
too, recent cost studies indicate
that this seed crop would be profi

though prices declined consider
