Univ. of Oregon Library EUGENE, 08EGOJI Opposition plan found in Florence By Robert W. Chandler Bulletin Staff Writer (Last of a Series.) REEDSPORT. Oregon - What do residents of the area think of the idea of having a national sea shore recreation area established between here and Florence.' Well, if one were to inform him slf solely by reading the restdts of a well-organized "letter to the editor" campaign, he would think everyone is against the idea. That's not true. Actually, most of the opposition comes from the Florence area. And it's changing there. In addi tion, not everyone in Florence, by any means, is against the idea. When the National Park Service proposal first was announced in March, reaction was Immediate. Dave Holman, editor of the Flor ence News Advertiser, told a re porter at that time that "opinion on the proposal is fairly evenly divided." But the other day he told this reporter that "83 per cent of the people in the area are against the park idea." Holman has joined the ranks of the opponents of the park in the meantime, and it is probable that tliis has colored his measurement of the opinions of others. Rapid Fall Out Actually, opposition dies out fairly rapidly beginning at the Florence city limits. By the time one gets to the other end of the area, down here, the idea is fair ly popular. Drive further south, to North Bend or Coos Bay, and most people favor it. The same seems true further north, around Waldport or Newport. It would be a mistake, however, to think that even the most vocal opponents are against the whole idea. Even opponents agree that the area west of Highway 101 through the area has its greatest value to this area as a tourist attraction. The controversy arises largely over the shorelines of the three freshwater lakes in the area, all Workers end stoppage at Trout dale TROUTDALE (UPI) Produc tion workers returned to their Jobs at the big Reynolds Metals' Company aluminum plant late Wednesday ending a one-day stop page. ! Lee Caldwell, international rep-, resentative of the Kteelworkers Union, said the men stopped work 1 because of posting Dy uie com pany ol warning notices calling lor disciplinary action for ab senteeism. A company spokesman said the notices referred to were merely a supervisor's written no tification'to a worker that fie had failed in properly performing his duties as required by the labor agreement. About 500 production workers were involved. Caldwell said the stoppage was not connected with national negotiations between the firm and the, union. The stoppage resulted when of ficers of the union failed in at tempts to get members to return to work and company officials or dered a shutdown. Production workers returned to their jobs after the company advised the union's national headquarters that if they returned within 30 or 40 minutes the firm would try to start up three potlines one at a time, but would not start up a fourth line scheduled for shut down Sept. 1. , Labor reform talks reach crucial point- WASHINGTON (VPI - Bar gaining reached the crucial stage today on the main issues of labor reform legislation. Some members of the Senate House conference committee felt an agreement might be rachd in today's session. But House con ferees were standing firm against some proposals offered by Senate Democrats. The Senate group pushed for provisions tliey said are needed to protect certain nonesi union ac tivities. But House delegates in dicated they w ould make no more concessions. Areas of disagreement were "blackmail picketing, secondary boycotts, and federal-state juris diction over labor disputes. The bill passed by the House was stronger on these poir.ti than the Senate version. Sen Barry Goldwater 'R-Arii ). a hacker of the -House measure, said firm provisions are needed in these fields to protect the small businessman. He said he was hopeful a compromise could be reached before nightfall. If the ronferees agree on a measure, it would go to the Sen ate and House (or final approval roNt week. to dunes to center area on the east side of the highway. Opposition from around the lakes seems to come in large part from persons holding property for eventual speculative development, from those with low value proper ties hoping to sell at some future time at a big profit and from some resort operators who are fearful their operations will not come up to National Park Service standards. But the idea that everyone in the area is up in arms against the pro posal is patently untrue. As a matter of fact, were it not for Uie fears of economic reprisal from their more vocal neighbors, a sur vey of public opinion in the area between the Siuslaw and Umpqua would probably show the major ity favoring the recreation area development. Conclusions Drawn After spending two or three days in the area, talking to the people, not their leaders, one comes to these conclusions: 1. The opposition is a small, but well organized and highly vo cal, minority. 2. The opposition is centered in Florence, and dies out pretty rap idly as one travels north or south from that city. 3. Most of the balance of the op position is based on lack of in formation, or misinformation de liberately fostered by the Lane County Taxpayer's Association. This is not to say that all those in favor of the idea favor it un reservedly. There is a consider able body of opinion which wants the tentative boundaries changed. At the same time, a number of those who want the boundaries changed don't have a very good idea of just where the boundar ies are. ( From Pocketbooks Most of the milder opponents will admit frankly that their op position arises solely from their pocketbooks. The same is true of some of those who want the development, who see in a chance to better their own economic status some time in the future. Take, for example, the Florence housewife who came to the door in answer to a knock. '1 don't want to see it come in here. My husband is a logger, and if they shut up all that timber he'll be out of work, Fact: There's no merchantable timber in the area tentatively pro posed, and no loggers are oper ating there now on any scale. Or listen to the Reedsport busi ness man, over a cup of coffee. "We've got a chance for a big development by International Pa per here. If this tiling is going to take all their water and timber, we won't have any development." Fact: International Paper lands are not involved, and their water filings are on a lake not included in the tentative boundaries. As the Reedsport housewife said, bandaging a scraped knee for her six-year-old: Taxes Too High "I'm afraid it'll raise taxes, and our taxes are too high already." Fact: Reedsport taxes are among the highest in the state, but none of the proposed recrea tion area is within the boundaries of any Reedsport taxing district, so could have no effect here. There are those who are quite favorably impressed with the w hole idea. Many of these are oid timers in the area, who have gone through 30 or 40 years of fjlse hopes of "big developments" just around the corner. One grocer put it this way. "I've lived here a long time. I know the property involved. I've walked and jeeped over every foot of it. For the most part it has very low property values, and ! .......... , ' putting it into any kind of national , ?'S.TZ:S ' :.T " r ' be put.' Summing up,, one would M-, lieve that a pretty fair majority i of people in this entire area favor the development, with the main opposition coming from a group in Florence. The opposition is less vocal outside the Florence area, and is only effective there be cause most persons seem to fear economic reprisals. So, those who approve of the idea may be frightened into si lence, and others may be just un willing to argue publicly with their neighbors, but there are pro ponents. Among those who fully understand the facts, support for the park can be found in a size able majority. Escapee back behind bars AUMSVILLE. Ore. ITI - A ,or u,con"!

Idaho (UPI) Good ing county sheriff's officers said today they were working on the possibility that "four men" may have been involved in the mur der of a Portland pathologist near Bliss this week. They said it was learned that three men were in a green car which was seen following the vic tim's car across the desert road near where the body of Dr. John Hunt Jr., 27, was found.

Hunt,-a pathologist recently ap pointed to an assistant professor ship at Yale, was found shot to death Tuesday in the desert about 11 miles south of Bliss,-Idaho. Sheriff Keith Anderson of Good ing county learned Wednesday that a dark green car was seen following Dr. Hunt's station wa gon through the sagebrush over a gravel road near where the body was found. Anderson said that residents ofj the area noticed the two vehicles driving across the desert about 7:30 to 8 p.m. Monday. They said.
