Poage (D-Tex) suggested Wednesday that persons granted grazing permits on national forest lands should pay fees "comparable to that charged for similar privately-owned land." His comment came during a House Agriculture Committee's dis cussion of a Senate-passed grazing bill- . - . Poage asked Earl Coke, assistant secretary of agriculture, whether be agreed with this suggestion. "There sbould be some compar ability," Coke replied. Poage told Coke that "it would strengthen" the department if ag riculture's position in dealing with sheep and cattlemen if legislation along this line was enacted. "You know that the pressure from the sheep and cattle people "is so great now that you couldn't raise your fees for grazing," Poage said. Coke admitted a doubt that the department under present condi tions could raise its grazing fees and agreed such legislation would strengthen the department's hand. Poage commented mat since a permittee on national -forest lands paid no taxes, be was in effect made a "favored class" over' the private land-owning cattle or sheep raiser, who did pay taxes. . This bill, on which the House committee took no action Wednes day, would write into law policies, with respect to the national forest lands for grazing purposes, Which have been in use for some years. ' It would recognize the multiple' use of land, specifying that persons holding grazing permits would not be allowed to deny the land: to other persons wanting to use it for recreational, bunting and such pur . poses. .. The bill would authorize the sec retary of agriculture to make ar rangements with permittees to al low them to make improvements on the land, including buildings, with the understanding that -the . government would reimburse the permittees for any improvement that had not been amortized at the time the permit was withdrawn.. Rep. Cooley commented that grazing rights had been in the pos session of some families for so long that they felt a right to the land. He said it would be very dif ficult for a newcomer to obtain grazing rights in those lands. V VIEW IN TRIPLICATE Juae. Jean and Joaai wcawai triplet students at Ine university stretch ia the inn at start of their vacation in Las Veraa, Jfev. insisted that a bird was after him. Mama, thought junior was spoof ing, but he wasn't It all started about a month ago. Sidney Ferris, age 7, 270 N. 24th St. and playmate, Austin ran home to show Sidney's mother, Mrs. Roy Ferris, the baby robin that Austin had just found fallen from its nest. Mrs. Ferris loves animals (they have a dog, a cat and a goldfish) and she thought that the- tiny little fuzzball was cute- ."Tell you what I'll do," .Mrs. Ferris said; "Austin, you gather the worms and I'll get a cage and we'll raise the baby." Brought Worms The deal was made, a Cage pro cured, and Austin started bringing worms. But Austin got tired of gathering worms .after two days; But by this time the baby, had found a home. Mrs. Ferris sought the aid of a professional night crawler catcher, Leslie E. Money, 2255 Lee St. He made regular worm deliveries every other day. " At first with worm wiggling and bird squirming, Mrs. Ferris could not make ends meet., She resorted to a fountain syringe full of warm milk. The baby robin slurped up the milk and soon was able to handle the worms. But the warm milk is still a goodnight rjtual, says Mrs. Ferris. Tweetie Pie . As the bird grew friskier Sid ney dubbed their ' now feathered friend, Tweetie Pie. - Teaching Tweetie to fly was at tempted as soon as tail feathers sprouted sufficiently. Solo flights were made from Irs. Ferris's arm to the backyard strawberry barrel. After the first futile flip flops, Tweetie made contact and took to the air. At first the bird Conferees Revise Ike Housing Bill WASHINGTON (J) - Senate -House conferees Wednesday decid ed not to go along completely with President Eisenhower's request for equal mortgage terms on old and new housing bought with loans hv sured by the Federal Housing Ad ministration (FHA).' The conference committee ' in stead adopted a compromise of differing Senate aad House ver sions under whjen existing hous ing would be eligible for 90 per cent FHA mortgage insurance on the first $3,000 of cost and 75 per cent of the balance,, up to a maxi mum $20,000. Repayment periods would run 90 years or 75 per cent of the estimat ed remaining ' life of the house whichever is smaller. Eisenhower bad asked that old bousing eligible for FHA mortgage insurance get exactly the. same mortgage terms as new bousing that is, 95 per cent insurance for the first 19,000, 75 per cent for the remainder up to $20,000 and a 30-! year term. The conference committee, work ing to iron out all differences by Friday, also struck from the big bousing bill a previously approved Senate provision which would nave compelled builders to certify to the FHA that their construction was in complete conformity with' plans and specifications submitted to the FHA. Instead it adapted House lan quage which simply requires a builder to certify that his contri builder'to certify that bis con struction was in "substantial con formity with his specifications. Without-the warranty, the home would not be eligible for, FHA mortgage insurance. HOSPITAL EDUCATION 1 MIAMI, Fla.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Ferris opened the door and in trudged a ruffled and glum Tweetee. He wouldn't budge from the kitchen for the next 24 hours. Flying Hazards . Kitchen flying also has its haz ards. Being a very affectionate bird, Tweetie prefers a head arm or shoulder for his landing field. But one day the young, slightly .wobbly flier over shot his mark, and landed, SPLASH, in the dish water. Robin raising has one unfortun ate hazard. The birds don't take to house breaking.
