Steel 573, Youngstown S&T ..Unquoted Porter Proposes Forest Service, Jobless Measures Washington Bills to de crease national unemploy ment and to give the U. Forest Service control over surface resources and surface management of national for est lands were introduced last week by Congressman Charles O. Porter (D-Ore). Both provide companion leg islation to Senate bills. The Public Works Act of 1958 ( H. R. 10632) calls for the appropriation of $500 000,000 to provide Federal Assistance to states and local governments for the construe tion of needed public works and public improvements The ratio would be $90 of Federal assistance for every $10 of State or local funds made available for a project, In introducing legislation identical to that proposed by Senator Albert Gore (D- Tenn.), Porter noted that con tinued increasing unemploy ment on the national level was evident. His bill is de signed to help offset slowed- down employment markets, State level action in Ore gon was proposed October 6 1957, in Roseburg. At that time Democratic county chair men in the Fourth Congres sional Districts addressed resolution to Governor Rob ert Holmes proposing state aid to stem current unemploy ment. Bill Identical The surface management of national forest lands bill (H. R. 10633) is identical to one introduced by Senators Neubeger and Morse. It is aimed- at closing loopholes which permit miners or min ing companies to cut exces sive amounts of federal tim ber growing on mining claims and patents. Representative Porter said the legislation as proposed was not designed to impede miners but rather to establish as "uniform policy, proced ures which already exist on six national forests, includ ing Mt. Hood," It would pre vent another Al Serena, Por ter said. The legislation allows per sons who locate mineral de posits on national forest land to occupy and use the surface to the extent necessary to carry out prospecting and de velopment work. Timber may be cut and used for actual mining operations. Porter said that if a claim is patent able under the mining laws, a patent will still issue, but the bill conveys title only to the mineral deposits within the boundaries of the claim and the right to use the sur face timber to the extent es sential to actual mining oper tions. .
