Recreation May
Pass Lumbering
Salem-(UPD-Thomas J. Wil
liams, superintendent of Cra
ter Lake National Park and
Oregon Caves National Monu
ment, told the opening ses
sion of the 54th annual Ore
gon Bankers Association con
vention today that by the end
of this state's second 100 years
recreation will have surpass
ed lumbering as a forest re
source. Williams said logging prac
tices would have to change in
order to produce more and
better timber on less acreage.
"This can be done," he said,
"but the industry will have
to be forced to it."
He suggested that banks ac
quire foresters as staff offi
cers to keep pace with "chang
ing values in this major resource.-"
Williams said the recrea
tion industry, a $50 billion
one last year, could increase
at least 40 times over with
the future population growth
and greater percentage of "lei
sure in prospect."
"Hello! Is This the loan Co?"
There are all sorts of reasons why YOU may need cosh
immediately. An unexpected indebtedness, the desire
to really "go places" or numerous others. Whatever the
reason, you can get a convenient loan here promptly
... on terms to suit your convenience. Come on in.

Lane Association
Statements Irk
Sen. Neuberger
Washington (UPD Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger CD
Ore.), Sunday criticized as
"unfair and abusive" state
ments about the United States
Park Service by the Western
Lane County Taxpayers asso
ciation. The statements were made
publicly in' connection with
Neuberger's bill to create a
National Seashore Recreation
area in the Oregon Dunes.
Favors Open Discussion
"I favor full and open dis
cussion on this proposal,"
Neuberger said, but lie added
that "certain comments" of
the taxpayers association
were designed "merelv to in-
rflame public opinion without
addmg anything to the sub
stance of the debate." i
The senator cited letters
sent to newspapers and civic
groups over the signature of
John S. Parker of Florence,
chairman of the Lane county
group's information commit
tee. Comparison 'Absurd'
Neuberger said Parker had
referred to Park Service of
ficials i as "moving quietly
among us like agents of a
foreign power."
Neuberger termed the com
parison "absurd." He said the
use of "hysterical charges
against passage of my bill can
only hinder reasonable discus
sion of procedural questions
involved."
