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." '
"Hundreds of acres owned by
pioneers and settlers were con
demned by the federal govern
ment and taken away without
remuneration of any sort by the

was ill advised. They agreed that
good economics and good fores
try and freedom of recreation
call for a change in the control
and management from the park
service to the forest service on
one-third of the total park area,"
Olzendam said.
Gov Langlie, however, dis
missed the committee because it
split 9 to 5 and said "there is
not sufficient crystalization of
opinion among, the committee
memoers or among the public
generally in this state to warrant
any further studies."

For X-Rays of Food

An intensive effort to have

underway in . Jackson county,
L. O. Boomer, case finding and
x-ray chairman for the Jackson
County Public Health associa
tion, and Dr. A. E. Merkel,

The committee planning to
contact employers in the food
industries include Alvin York

Orie Moore and Dorothy Huskey
of the health department, and
Boomer and Mrs. Chester Guches

Similar Program
Results of a similar program
for x-raying food ' handlers held
last year proved its value, York

examination for those serving
food to the public, and previous
ly' tuberculosis -infection - has
been revealed, they stated.

Any employer who has not
been contacted and who is inter-o
ested may contact the county

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. Numerous reports of missing
tires, wheels, gas, and other
iems from cars have been re
ceived by city and state police
and sheriff's deputies in recent
weeks.
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.
