Timber Owners Urged To Plan For Public Use Private timber owners in the United States must con sider other things besides get ting only a single crop from their lands, according to an article in the recent issue of The Timberman, a forestry logging journal. Timber owners must plan also so their lands deliver usable water and can be used for public recreation In his article, Arthur Car hart, Denver, Colo., pointed out that forestry practices de signed for maximum timber production are, in many in stances, identical with the best watershed management methods. However, there are exceptions, he admitted. Objections have been raised to the recent practice of skin ning much or all tree growth from watersheds to gain more runoff. All water will run off immediately to be trapped for future use if woody plants are removed, areas seeded with grass, or even asphalt -surfaced, supporters of this ac tion claim. 1 Plans Urgad . Private owners must make plans so the public's use . of timber land will be orderly with no damage to either the land or its timber crop, Car hart asserts in his article. Such an owner who incurs this expense of recreation de velopment will have to re ceive some pay from the pub lic. Carhart suggests a "land use planner." This man would plan the human use of the privately owned forest in co ordination with timber and wood production. House Approves Vaughan Medal Washington (UPD The House without debate gave its permission Monday for Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, mili tary aide to former President Truman, to wear a medal from former Argentine dic tator Juan Peron. The award list, which in cluded 526 other retired gov ernment personnel, had been held up by Congress since 1949 because it included Vau ghan's name. The bill now goes back to the .Senate for acceptance of House amendments. The fuss over Vaughan's medal started in 1949 when newspaper columnist Drew Pearson suggested Vaughan should' be fired for accepting the Order of General San Mar tin from Peron. Truman re torted that "no s-o-b" would tell him how to run his of fice. This fanned a controversy which was enough to block consideration of all medals by the House because Vaughan's name was on the list. The Constitution requires Congress to give its consent before a government official may accept any "present, emolument office or title" from a foreign state.
