Thursday reluctantly in troduced a bill containing ad ministration proposals for dis posing of timber land on the Klamath Indian reservation in Oregon. Neuberger said he would prefer to see approval of his own proposal that the federal government make an outright purchase of the land. But he said in a Senate speech that the administra tion insisted that the land first should be offered for sale to private parties. The federal government plans to terminate its control orer the Klamath reservation which leaves the problem of how to dispose of its timber lands. Under the administration proposal contained in the bill introduced by Neuberger pri vate parties . who bought Klamath land would have to agree to operate it on a sus tained yield basis. Whatever land is not taken by private individuals would be bought by the government. Neuberger said he had "serious misgivings" about the administration approach to the problem, but as chairman of the Senate Indian affairs subcommittee he said it "merits consideration." The senator said the sub committee will -hold hearings on both his and the admini stration's proposal Feb. 3-4-5.

Brown. In addition, an estimated 220,000 traveled the roads through the forest without stopping to camp or picnic, he said. The figure is esti mated to be an increase of about 40,000 more than 1956, and is the largest number on record. Figures are determined by computing the number reg istered at five traffic counters, which were moved from area to area in each of the ranger districts, the number of campers who registered and estimates by rangers in each district, Brown said. Visits included 34,000 camping, 19,000 picnicking, 18,000 swimming, 51,000 fish ing and 8,700 hunting. There were an estimated 4,400 par ticipating in winter sports, and 11,000 whose main pur- The Devil's Current surges through the Bosphorus, the historic strait which separates European and Asian Turkey, at six miles an hour.
