ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington, D. C. There will not be any cutback in O&C timber management Bureau of Land Manage ment. That was the official ex plaination yes terady of f i g u res that have caused confusion and c onsternation because oi an a aobt smitu economy drive now being im posed on government agencies by the budget bureau. $600,000 Lopped off Technically,'. the budget bur eau lists $600,000 as having been lopped off the. O&C road program. This is one item out of .$37,297,158 which the bud get bureau has held in reserve out of the money Congress ap propriated to run ' the interior department's many agencies. BLM officials say it won't by the Bid Rejected for Park Service Work The national park service re jected the only bid submitted for construction of a covered en trance station at Anne Springs and a covered entrance to the administration building at park headquarters in Munson valley. Deller Construction company, Eugene, bid $36,400 for the work. Park Superintendent Tom Wil liams said the bid was rejected as being too high. The bid prob ably was figured high, Williams said, because of the lateness of the season which would force the contractor to work in snow and inclement weather. Invitations for the work will be reissued about next April, Williams said, which will allow a contractor to assemble mater ials in order to start work when snow is gone next spring. Williams said several resi dences will be contracted at the same time next spring, and urged interested bidders to in spect the site now since the area will be covered with snow when bids are opened. STUDY UP IN THE AIR Lima, Peru (IP) A party of physicians and scientists from Yale, Harvard and Johns Hop kins universities will come to Peru next year to undertake a study of pregnancy at high alti tudes, it was reported today. Dr. Donald Barrow, a physiologist from Yale, is here now making arrangements ' for the visit. He said the study- will include sex amination of the effects of ex treme high altitude in the tower ing Andes mountains on both human and animal subjects. hurt the timber program. Of the $600,000, they say $100,000 was planned for con struction of living quarters at Scottsburg, on the Umpqua river, where BLM wanted to house officials supervising road work in the Smith river area. They are now operating out of Coos Bay, and that's the way they will continue to function. The remaining $500,000 figures in this way: Congress appropriated $5 mil lion for access roads, all of which the 17 O&C counties promise to repay out of timber r e c eipts, BLM went to Congress early this year figuring the timber receipts for the coming year would amount to about $24 mil lion. It doesn't look like receipts will run that high. Receipts Down This past year receipts were less than $20 million. As receipts drop, so must the money spent on access roads because the counties want to be able to pay-as-they-go for the cost of the roads. It .is generally expected by BLM officials here that they won't be able to spend all of the $5 million because of limited receipts so the budget bureau's action in putting a ceiling on read spending won't be the real reason if the read program is somewhat diminished this year. "None of this will affect timb er management," a BLM official declared.

The Hollywood Scene BTr Ri0N SC0TT 7 United Press Writer Hollywood (IP) One hundred feet of the best action film ever shot at Universal - International Studios will never be seen on the screen because the heroics weren't in the script. L o c a tion: Cue rnavaca, Mexico. Scene: West ern St. A c t i on: A Vernon Scott horse canters "down the center of a dusty road, stumbles and throws its rider to the ground. All went well until the rider, a stunt man, caught his foot in the stirrup and was dragged 20 yards by the rampaging horse. Then, while the cameras con tinued to grind, Jock Mahoney, the star of the picture, rushed in and wrestled the animal to a halt. Former Stunt Man Himself "I just grabbed the horse by the ears and pulled his head down between his legs," Ma honey said. "Somebody had to do something to keep the stunt man from getting his head kick ed off." Mahoney, a 6-foot 4-inch giant of a man, has a special reason for lending a hand to stunt men. He was a bruises-for-pay boy once himself. This particular footage show ed Jock to good advantage, but it won't be used in the com pleted version of "Western Story" because members' of the crew, dressed in modern clothes, rushed into the shot as Jock played real life hero. "The stunt man would, have been all right," he said, "If he had had the right equipment. Extra Mean Horse "Usually for a stunt like that there's a release cord on the stirrup to keep a man from get ting dragged. And that was an extra mean horse anyhow. It had bucked off a couple of other stunt men earlier in the picture." Much as he was congratulated by the crew, the picture's pro ducer and director read the lanky star the riot act. "They figure stunt men are expendable," Jock grinned. "That they get paid for risking their necks. But if I'd been hurt it would have held up the pic ture and cost a pile of money. "I still do all my own stunts," he con eluded proudly.. "After five years of specializing in fall ing off cliffs and doing fight scenes, it hurts a man's pride to stand around and watch an other guy step in for him." EX-ARMY NURSE DIES New Rochelle, N.Y.
