Washington Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D-Ore.) believes the
Senate Interior Committee
should take
'i another inves

at timber sale
policies of the
Bureau of
Land Manage

Graves report in an effort "to
cover up revenue losses from
O&C forests in Oregon."
Neuberger was referring to a
press release issued by BLM last
month at the time the forestry
report prepared independently
by Prof. Paul F. Graves was first
made public. Graves' main rec
ommendation in his report to
BLM was that marketing areas
be abolished.
BLM's press release on the re
port made no mention of Graves'
recommendation but claimed
that the report showed that BLM
timber sales on O&C lands "av
eraged $9 per thousand board
feet more than prices paid for
other federal timber" in pie
same area.
"The agency's self-serving in
terpretation of Graves' report
was an erroneous and mislead
ing statement designed to lull
Oregonians into believing that
all was well with management
of O&C assets," declared Neu
berger. Compariions Difficult
"Actually, Prof. Graves spe
cifically noted that price com
parisons between BLM and For
est Service sales 'are extremely
difficult and have not been at
tempted by either federal agen-
cy because of extreme variabil
ity in such controlling factors as
stumpage appraisal unit value
factors, conversion ratios, timber
accessibility and quality, species
distribution and values, timber
sale contract requirements, road
development costs, methods of
payment, timing of sales, and
basic differences in scaled vs.
Worthy Passport
Rejection Seen
Washington (U.P.) The State
Department is expected to turn
down the request of William
Worthy, Baltimore newsman
who travelled to Red China, for
a renewal of his passport has
been learned.
Informants also said the State
Department already has turned
down another application by
Philip Potter, Far Eastern corre
spondent for the Baltimore Sun,
for permission to travel to Red
China.
Worthy, a reporter for the
Baltimore Afro American, was
one of the three Americans who
defied a State Department ban
against going to Communist
China. The others were Edmund
Stevens and Phillip Harrington
of Look magazine.
Upon his return from Red
China Worthy refused to give
up his passport as requested by
the State Department. About 10
days ago he sent the passport
to the department and formally
applied for a renewal. The pass
por expired Monday.
Officially, the State Depart
ment says it has not made a
final decision on Worthy's ap
plication. But moves being made
definitely point to a rejection.

lump sum sales methods used. . Fred A. Seaton to determine
Neuberger noted that in its 1 why BLM "twisted the objective
press release on tne Uraves re
port, BLM claimed that it "re
futes published statements to the
effect that marketing procedures
for O&C timber might have cost
the 18 O&C counties potential
revenues."
"The facts," Neuberger point
ed out, "are exactly the oppo
site. Here is what Prof. Graves'
study actually said: 'These fig
ures means that in the absence
of reasonably good competition
on sales of BLM timber both the
taxpayers at large and especial
ly those within the local counties
have lost substantial potential
income from the harvest of their
timber resources. . . . By re
stricting competition below even
three bidders per BLM sale, the
marketing areas may have been
responsible for the O&C coun
ties losing about S1.5 million per
year in direct revenue which
would have been used locally to
offset real estate tax levies on
the local citizens.' "
Neuberger, who is a member
of the Senate Interior Commit
tee, called on Interior Secretary
report of an independent foresty
consultant into an attack on oth
er federal forest management
agencies and attempted to cover
up revenue losses from the O&C
forests in Oregon."
"This is further evidence of
the need for reviving committee
hearings on federal timber sales
policies," Neuberger said.
