tilX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Drive Renewed for Logging Work In Olympic By A. ROBERT SMITH Mall Tribune Correspondent Washington A new drive is underway to persuade congress to open up Olympic National park to logging by reducing its size some 300,000 acres. A Tacoma public relations firm headed by a former timber corporation executive, Roderic Olzedam, is conducting an edu cational campaign designed to put th; issue before congress by next January. Numerous past efforts to open park timber to cutting by chang ing the boundaries have all fail ed, so strong has been the oppo sition from conservation groups who supported the position of the National Park Service that Olympic park should be held uv violate. Economically Sound In & "memorandum of facts" the Olzendam firm argues that it would be economically sound to transfer about a third of the park's area to the jurisdiction of the IT. S. Forest Service, which in turn would opea it to logging. Federal law prohibits logging . any national park lands. "This is not a 'timber baron land grab'," declares the publi cation, "for in the 50 year life of the United States forest service no land belonging to the people of the United States under the management of the forest service has ever been sold to private in terests. This is a program of great recreational and economic benefit to the largest possible number of American citizens." The Tacoma firm and its back ers have proposed a resolution which would be introduced in congress at the start of the 85th congress in January, 1957. This resolution would require: "That approximately one-third of the heavily timbered, highly productive area situated on the lower fringes of the Olympic Na tional park in the state of Wash ington presently under the con trol and management of the Na tional Park service, be transfer red to the control and manage ment of the U. S. forest service with the exception of the Hoh, Queets, and Quinault rivers, the area adjacent to Crescent lake and the recently . added ocean strip . .,:" .. . Created by High Pressure The proposed resolution adds that the secretaries of interior and agriculture shall" "take the necessary steps , to reset ..and agree on new and "proper boun daries in a scientific manner in order to bring about the highest recreational and economic re turns from this area." Recounting a history of Olym pic park, the memo states that it "was created by high pressure, un-American ; methods. These 900,000 acres were carved out of the sovereign state of Washing ton by the power of the federal bureaucracy. It was a political battle royal between the dictator of the department of the inter ior and the head of -.the depart ment .f agriculture."

Thefts From Cars Cost Owners Many Thefts from cars in Jackson county since the first of the year have cost residents several hun dred dollars, and amounts to sev eral thousand dollars annually, Sheriff Howard Gault said Sat urday.

Deputies arrested six. juvenile boys in the Phoenix area early this week and Medford police jailed four older youths m con nection with recent thefts. " Five juveniles, aged 16 and 17, are scheduled to appear before Judge H. K. Hanna in juvenile court. Four, were released on their own recognizance, and one with a long list of thefts was held in the county jail. Two others referred to the juvenile department were placed on offi cial probation. City Police Chief Charles Champlin warned car owners not; only to keep their cars in safe spots, but ' to report any thefts immediately to law-enforcement , agencies to hasten apprehension. . .- He and Gault both declared that the assumption on the part of parents, and juveniles that theft from cars is not a serious offense is false, not only be- cause. of the attitudes the thefts create, but because juvenile of fenders can be remanded to cir cuit court for trial and stiff penalties. Some of the youths, who picked up auto parts "success fully," also began shoplifting, they said. . -. . . Gault said investigations of the thefts are .continuing. ' Some articles stolen by the id taken into custody have been re turned to owners, but others are being held by officers for iden tification.
