Including highway maintenance, will be held to a minimum. Cut Out Frills Tourist advertising, park serv ice and landscaping divisions will be carved to the bone or suspended entirely and commis sion participation in the Oregon Trail Centennial celebration will be greatly reduced. The commission decided to take a "trial balance" ot all pro jects which have been planned for future work and "close the books as of today." Commissioners said the effect would be to freeze such projects for the duration of the war but leave them, standing for early resumption afterward. Seek Right of Way Negotiations of right of way on the Klamath Falls and Ash land construction projects, on which part of the work nas been completed, will be continued. Right of way negotiations on the Gold Beach project were shelved for further considera tion.
