Rail Merger Plan Opposed by State PORTLAND flJPB The state of Oregon asserted Wednesday t proposed four-railroad merger will cost Oregon about S2.8 mil lion in payrolls. The remarks came as oppo nents of the merger took the itand in the third day of Inter state Commerce Commission hearings here. Earlier, Oregon businessmen spoke in favor of the merger. The lines that want to merge are the Northern Pacific; Great Northern; Spokane, Portland and Seattle, and Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy. The Oregon Public Utilities Commission said In addition to wiping out lobs, the merger would cut competition, hurt service, and decrease control over boxcar supply. Washington Hit-and-Run Suspect Held PORTLAND Ml Police ar rested Marvin Foster, 23, Tues day and charged him with being the driver of a hit-run car that killed George Louis Burrows, 48, earlier in the day. Police said Foster admitted being the driver. Burrows was struck at a southeast Portland intersection. Foster, arrested at the Grey hound bus depot, was charged with hit-and-run driving involv ing a fatality. His bail was set at $2,000. Police located Foster's vehicle after the accident at 2021 S.E. 89th Ave. The accident occurred at S.E. 70th and Holgatc. After questioning some of his friends, police apprehended Fos ter at the bus depot. He told police he was going to Southern Oregon. Marvin Skidmore, Portland, aid he witnessed the accident and chased the hit-run car. He had to give up the chase after following it several blocks at high speeds. and Minnesota also oppose the merger. Grain and lumber shippers and other Oregon businesamen had contended the merger would improve ' service, increase car supply, and reduce rates. . They said under cross-exam ination their support for the merger was based on business judgment, not on promises from the four lines. Several businessmen said If the merger reduced rates, they would transfer some shipping from trucks back to railroads. The question of why two small Oregon lines were excluded from the merger plana was raised during the hearing. The lines Oregon Trunk and Oregon Electric are owned by subsidiaries of two of the lines that want to merge. Opponents of the merger sug gested that the two lines were left out of the merger plans so that they could retain revenue and tax advantages. Hatfield Sees Qreater Use of State's Resources By DOUGLAS GRIPP Of the United Preu International SALEM Oregon will have more than one million hunters and sports fishermen by 1973 and 20 million persons will pour into the state s parks. These were two of the predic tions advanced Tuesday in Gov, Mark Hatfield's "Decade of De velopment" report on natural resources. At present, there are 861,000 licensed hunters and anglers in Oregon. Oregon parks accommo dated 11 million people last sea son. The natural resources docu ment, covering 1963-73, was the last of four. Earlier reports were on human resources, the econ omy, and transportation and public safety. Hatfield said Oregon needs a "complete and comprehensive Inventory" of all its resources. The federal government, he re iterated, has got to invest more money in outdoor recreation in Oregon, half of which is feder- Forester Favors Shift of Costs SALEM W) State Forester Dwight Phipps said Wednesday the Forestry Department is ad vocating a shift of fire fighting costs from private forest owners to the public. He said a study made for the department showed that public use of the forests was causing more fires so the cost of fire protection should reflect this. He said presently private owners pay about 60 per cent and the state and federal gov ernments pay the rest. Phipps said the study indicat ed the percentage should be only 16 per cent for private own ers, SO per cent for the federal government and 34 per cent for the state. Phipps said the maximum fire protection cost for a single year in the past has been $4 million. ally owned. At the governor's news con ference releasing the report, Fish Director Robert W. Schon ing and Game Director Phil W. Schneider declined to predict whether their agencies will be merged by 1973. The natural resources report included comments from 13 state agencies.
