Long Range Conservation Plan
For Fish, Wildlife In Works
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The Interior
Department is working up a
long range conservation de
velopment pro
gram for fish
and wildlife,
not unlike the
"Mission 66"
program
launched two
years ago for
improving the
national park
system.
A. Robt Smitb " vv--'-'
"it will stress such matters as
land acquisitions for water
fowl as additions to the na
tional wildlife refuge system;
" and research to counteract the
destructive effects on fish and
wildlife of such hazards as
"insecticides and dams.
Under the land acquisition
program, the department has
its eye on the 15,689-acre
marsh in the Klamath Indian
' reservation, which would be
" come a refuge. Interior wants
'to purchase the marsh from
"the tribe when federal super
vision over the Klamaths is
terminated.
Also in the works is a 2,-000,000-acre
wildlife manage-
ment area in the Kuskokwim
' river delta of western Alaska,
nesting ground of a high per
centage of the geese and ducks
-on the Pacific flyway.

; These are some of the rea--sons
for the enthusiastic sup
port tne organizea conserva
tionists are now giving Secre
tary of the Interior Fred A.
Seaton, after having lambast
ed his predecessor, Douglas
McKay.
"Wo arp vprv hannv with
him," observed a veteran, con
servation leader this week.
"He is better informed. I don't
think McKay had any know
ledge of what was going on.
He was being used, and I'm
sorry because he is a nice
guy. But Seaton knows what
IV ITHriW III! WllIlIIaE LI J 11C11L
for the things he blieves in."
- Conservationists are hap
piest at the moment over
Seaton's recent decision
against any further oil leasing
oh wildlife refuges, unless it
appears that oil is being drain
ed away from, these federal
areas by nearby drilling out
side the refuges. The only ex
ception to this ruling was in
Alaska, where drilling had al
ready started on the Kenai
Moose Range and resulted in
a major strike last summer
by Richfield.
The oil industry, of course,
stoutly opposed Seaton's plan
to make the wildlife areas off
limits to further exploration.
Conservationists are pleased
over Seaton's reorganization
of the Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice, which has raised its status
at Interior through a new as
sistant Secretary, Ross L. Lef
fler, a Pennsylvania conserva
tionist in whom the organized
sport and game groups express
great confidence. The eleva
tion of career men, such as
Arnie J. Suomela of Oregon
to become Commissioner of
Fish and Wildlife, has gone
over big.
Other Ideas
The commerical fishing in
dustry had other ideas, which
were about to be implemented
at Interior when Seaton came
into office.
Seaton also is on the side
of the conservation groups in
the brewing fight over Nez
Perce dam in the middle
Snake River. He blasted it at
his last pres conference, say
ing it "would be terribly de
structive of the salmon indus
try and sports fishing in the
Northwest."
What they are hopefully
wondering now is whether
Seaton will line up the Eisen
hower administration behind
the bill (S. 3185) recently in
troduced by Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D-Ore.). It would
require the Federal Power
Commission to gain Interior's
approval of fish consideration
before issuing licenses for
dams.
Without this form of re
straint on the FPC, they see
little likelihood of preserving
the fish migrations of the
Salmon River, one of the
Northwest's natural treasures
they are currently mobilizing
to protect.

By ALBIN KREBS
United Press Correspondent
New York HP Of all the
many labels that have been
tacked on evangelist Oral
Roberts, the one he most de
spises and is quickest to chal
lenge is that of "faith-healer."
Roberts, who considers him
self the most sorely misunder
stood man of God in modern
times, has always had.to fight
a steady stream of accusations
from both the clergy and the
public.
The tall, gangling evange
list eagerly and calmly an
swers all the accusations,
among them the charge he
says he is not a faith-healer
yet does little to dispel the
notion. He is often accused of
using human misery to amass
a personal fortune, of battling
the medical profession, and
of selling the Scriptures, sal
vation and faith-healing like
soap.
"Actually," says Roberts,
"far too much is said about
faith-healing portions of our
services. We are primarily in
terested in saving souls, and
prayers for the healing of the
body come naturally at the
close of the services because
we believe God is a good God
and does not want us to suf
fer." Only God Can Heal
"I am not a faith-healer,"
he insists. "I am an instru
ment of God, an instrument
for faith-healing and that's
different. Only God can heal
and I have never claimed such
powers for myself."
At each of his meetings,
Roberts tells his listeners that
'it's God who's doing the heal
ing, not me" but there are
still many who confuse God,
the Healer, with Roberts,
God's earthly contact with
the sick. Roberts says he gen
uinely regrets this.
Roberts does maintain he
possesses a God-given power
that feels like "liquid fire" in
his hands. The power 'was des
cribed by T. J. Rathke of
Cameron, Wis., who claimed
he was cured through Roberts
of angina pectoris, as being
like "a charge of electricity."
Rathke and other Roberts
followers annually contribute
more than $3 million to carry
qn the work of the Oral Rob
erts Evangelistic Association,
whose 350 employees will
move into a new seven-story
headquarters building in Tul
sa, Okla., in November.
The association's work is
big business. It carries on 12
Roberts crusades a
He says it is the custom for
ministers of the Pentecostal
Holiness Church to keep such
information to themselves,
and he does not intend to
break the custom.
At the close of each of his
crusades, a "love offering" is
collected for Roberts, his
wife, and their four children.
An aide said "S2,000 is as
much as we can hope for" in
these collections. Since Rob
erts conducts a dozen crusades
a year, his income thus ap
proaches S25.000, the same as
that of Billy raham, one of
the few evangelists, who re
veals his salary.
The charges that Roberts
over-simplifies theology, pre
sents a too-literal interpreta
tion of the Scriptures, and dis
penses faith-healing as though
he were selling soap, the
evangelist has this to say:
'Yes, we do use a healing
line and we have to pray over
more than 200 sufferers in a
single service. It may look
like we're selling soap, but
we're not our time is limit
ed, and so is my physical
strength, and we're trying to
do the most good for as many
people , as possible.
"I hope God lets me live
another 30 years, for I think
by then we'll see an unbeliev
ably close alliance between
science and the kind of heal
ing I encourage. The doctors
are finding out that their
medicines don't always help."
Roberts says God has in
structed him to save a mil
lion souls a year, and no criti
cism will stand in his way. -
"At the same time," he
says, "I would be no kind of
minister at all if I didn't use
my God-given ability to lead
the sick to the Lord's healing
waters."

shares.
Elmer Waller Tt has grown
steadily in each year of its
existence, the stock market
reported today. Last year par
ticipants in the plan bought
754,596 shares with invest
ments 6f as little as $40 a
month. That compared with
535.090 shares bought in
1956: 402,937 in 1955,' and
300,504 in 1954.
So far in 1958 the month
of January purchases
amounted to 66,038 shares, or
an annual rate of 792,456
shares.
The little fellows who par
ticipate in this plan have lik
ed General Electric best for
their investments. The other
nine top issues best liked by
MIP buyers are General Mo
tors, Dow Chemical, Standard
Oil (N.J.), Sperry Rand, Tri
Continental, Radio Corp.,
American Telephone, Phillips
Petroleum, and American Air
lines. Phillips Petroleum jumped
in popularity with a gain of
64.5 per cent in 1957 com
pared with 1956 and Tri-Con-
tinental, the nation's largest
closed end investment trust,
showed a gain of 52.6 per
cent, the best performers m
the group listed above.

In the last quarter of 1957
Mutual Funds sold General
Electric, General Motors.
American Telephone, and
American Airlines and bought
RCA, Sperry Rand, and Dow
Chemical. Tne little fellows
in part followed the experts.
The MIP participants favor
the medium priced issues, the
report by the exchange shows.
Yields on their stocks range
down from 5 per cent or more
to a mere 2 per cent, showing
a stress on growth rather than
return.
Both men and women are
in the plan and the women
seem to like it.
Mrs. Eleanor Blumenberg
of Los Angeles says women
get a kick out of it because
the average housewife doesn't
often make major financial
decisions.
"It's ideal for the small in
vestor because most , people
are reluctant to buy one
share at a time," said R. J.
Pyne of Chicago, part owner
of a sign making shop.
Hopes for the Future
"I'm a long-term investor,"
said Pyne in a telephone
check by the stock exchange.
"The important thing to me is
that MIP provided a way to
buy stock which I believe has
great hopes for the future."

Under the new system
which went into effect this
week when the ambassadors
of Lebanon and the Soviet
Union made their first calls
at the White House, a heavy
jolt of color and ceremony
has been added.
New ambassadors move in
a big White House limousine
behind a thundering escort of
motorcycle police. Waiting in
tne driveway outside the
President's offices to greet
the envoy as he arrives are
the naval aide, Capt. E. P.
Aurand, and Robert Gray, the
appointment secretary to the
President.
They escort the visitor
through the lobby in arm-inarm
ceremony and the same
process is repeated when the
ambassador leaves.
With the weather in Wash
