'.. : Revised ,road use regulations are now under consideration by the Bureau of Land Management in the Interior Department. They were recommended to ELM by , the O&C Advisory Board at a meeting Jan. 6, after being a controversial subject within the 1 8-member board. They were adopted by a vote of 8-to-4 with one member abstaining and five absent from the meeting, according to the Bureau."-- Urges Public Hearings Neuberger wrote Secretary of Interior' Douglas McKay to urge that public hearings on the ques tion be held in Oregon by his department before any ' further action is taken to implement the regulations.- But a BLM official told this reporter there was little likelihood of this request being granted. :r ,; - . ,'''."." .". '.. " The freshman 'senator, how ever, has laid the matter-before the Senate Interior Committee? of which he is a member, aW told Chairman James E. Murray (D-Mont.) that this is a problem "deserving careful, review by the committee." Neuberger, say ing he ; opposed the new regula tions, ; told Murray in a letter that the committee - should re quest McKay to hold them up until hearings are held in Ore gon and the committee has re viewed the entire, issue. Assigned To Subcommittee Neuberger has just been as signed to the public lands sub committee, which presumably would deal with the- matter if Murray and the full committee approve. , ' . . , ": .. . "The present regulations gov erning use 'of access roads aren of great importance, to logging in the-O&C forests and thus to the entire economy of Oregon," Neuberger explained to Murray. 'They : were drawn in 1950 for the purpose of providing wider access" 'to r federally-owned- tim ber, and upon them depends the ability of, smaller independent operators, to compete for ' such timber in- the O&C forests. There is no doubt that the re quirement of reciprocal road-use agreements instituted by : these regulations has been successful in furthering competition for federal timber. Neuberger said his evidence for this was that multiple bids for O&C timber-since the 1950 regulations were .imposed had "more than" tripled." v - y-" Beit Price Said Assured ; -- Such competition is not only. good for the .-competing -bidders and consistent with our; public policy of favoring free competi tive enterprise; it also, assured the government of receiving the best available price for its timber,"- said the ; senator; - noting that sales, receipts last year set a recordf of $15,845,833. " 1 "Substantial ., benefits to the public would thus : be jeopard ized by a .return to the monopo listic, tendencies accompanying the pre-1948 policies "on access roads, Neuberger declared. . - Specifically, the senator con tended .thai the proposed changes would ' "abandon the require ment of reciprocal -road-use agreements as a condition pre cedent to granting right-of-way and ; road use permits" and that this would "seriously - weaken the present policy of facilitating competition for federal timber. He said the changes would also "eliminate" or weaken present provisions for protection of the access of hunters, fishermen and others to recreational areas in the O&C lands, and for arbitra tion of controversies." ' V I Many Pretests Received - Neuberger said -he has looked into the ; question " as result ' of many . protests that have been sent to him against the proposed regulations. He said : the pro posal was opposed within the O&C advisory board by mem bers "who represent labor, agri culture and important sections of the logging industry. . ; ; BLM officials said the; opposi tion had been spearheaded by the Western Forest Industries Association, ..whose'.';- executive secretary, R. T. Titus, is on the board.; . ,. ; Titus about a. year ago charged in a- letter to -McKay that BLM had been "negotiating with a small group of big opera tors to revue the - right-of-way regulations, in such a way that competition would be largely eliminated and the . owners of strategically located X private land would once more virtually control the sale of BLM timber, as was the situation jprior to 1948 when, the department re- LEOHS TOTS-TO-TEEf JS , r - far I. ported 80 per cent of the sales were to single bidders." McKay replied by -inviting Titus and hisgroup into discus sions on the question. Shortly thereafter, ; last . January, - the O&C board assigned a subcom mittee the task of reviewing the right-of-way regulations to sug gest: ways of 'simplifying them. During the past year, the sub committee, drafted its proposals and this month they were ap proved, by. the board for trans mission to McKay and . BLM here. ; -';.:';- 'V' ' : -- To ' Review Proposals -' '-'0'. Officials said - no action; has been taken on them since their receipt, but that they would "be worked over' and then, reviewed at the highest level of the de partment a procedure expected to take spine weeks at least. : The Senate Interior Commit tee has yet to hold its first meet ing on legislation or other-sub stantial, material.
