i 16 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Tuesday, Jun. 23. 1959 House Debates Federal-State Statutes Bill Washington-UPD-The House began debate Monday, on a controversial bill to prevent federal laws from nullifying similar state statutes. ' The measure, opposed by the Eisenhower administra tion, was expected to win ap proval after two or three days of maneuvering. Opponents, led by Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) of the House Judiciary Committee, prom ised a vigorous fight. They planned first to try to block consideration. To Overturn Decisions The bill is designed to over turn a number of recent Su preme Court decisions. Its main feature would bar courts from killing state laws unless Congress specifically agreed in a federal statute or there was an irreconcilable conflict with a federal rule. The Justice Department op poses the measure as "danger ous' legislation which would cause confusion and might subordinate federal laws to state regulations. Supporters contend the bill merely would affirm the intent of the Con stitution. The House approved the same bill last year 241 to 155. The Senate shelved a slightly different version 41 to 40 three days before the session ended. Interest Rate Bill Other congressional news: Interest: Sen. Pat McNa mara (D-Mich.) introduced a bill which woulo direct the Federal Reserve System to buy government securities if necessary to keep down inter est rates. McNamara said the measure was needed to force the Treasury and Federal Re serve to work together to halt the "ruinous fiscal policy" of the Eisenhower administra tion Germ War: Maj.. Gen.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Sen. Wayne Morse has an idea that a string of separate small parks scatter- e d along the scenie Oregon coast would be better than one relatively large park em bracing the entire Oregon dunes be tween Flor- a. Robt. grnit e n c e and Reedsport. "We don't need 35,000 acres in one big block," Morse said in an interview. "My hunch is that we might have a better park system' if we had sev eral coastline parks." ; He said there ought to be "some sand dune area and some that is not sand dune area." He didn't specify what areas he had in mind. Morse said he has t "many reservations" about including in the proposed Oregon Dunes National Seashore the inland lakes which the National Park Service has indicated it would recommend for inclusion in the park area. There have been- a number of protests from residents of this area who have summer cottages along the lakes. Area Highly Rated But Sen. Richard L. Neu- berger said "I'm not going to sponsor a bill just to preserve some sand. The Park Service wouldn't go for that, anymore than they would have agreed to make a park just out of Crater Lake, letting the Jog ging companies cut timber right up to the edge of the lake." Neuberger said he had re ceived a letter from the Park Service which explained that the area under consideration is highly rated for a national seashore because of its "com bination of values." "The beach and the large dunes are extraordinarily fine, picturesque and useful," Neuberger was told' by A. T. Scoyen, acting director of the Park Service. "However, they are complimented in an extra ordinary manner by the series of beautiful freshwater lakes and bordering forests very close behind the dunes and, additionally, by the fascinat ing spectacle of the Sea Lion TABLE ROCK Miss Bighorn Sells Home By R. E. NEALON Table Rock - Miss Grace Bigham has sold her home and small acreage on what we had called Bigham lane, as most of those residing along the lane were Bighams or rela tives.

Haley's ferry, operated here in 1853, so reads a sign on the south side of the river at the Bybee bridge. Back in the 80's this ferry was called the Bybee ferry, and a deed given by William Bybee and wife in 1871 to a piece of land, states that the buyer, or as signs shall not permit the use of any part of the land as a landing for any ford on Rogue river. Notwithstanding,' this, there was a ford used to cross the river and a lane running south from the Table Rock rd. along the boundary line be tween the Nealon and Pickens farms. The ferry fare was 25 cents one way, so going to town by ford, one could save 50 cents. The last meeting of the sea son for the Table Rock Ladies club at TouVelle park, Wed nesday, was attended by some 25 persons counting- the youngsters.

The preservation of this extraordinary assemblage of recreation values and its fu ture availability for planning, development and management for its highest public use is, in our opinion, the essence of the proposal." "To chip away at its unit character," added Scoyen, "by planning and permitting an assortment of unrelated and conflicting uses, such as rec reation home sites, paper and chemical mills, logging, public campgrounds and business ventures of various kinds, would be to reduce the char acter and public benefit of the area to mediocrity." Wants To Explore Ideas Morse said he wants to ex plore his ideas during con gressional hearings in Oregon this fall.

That doesn't mean all of the dunes ought to be in a park." Nor need the lakes be in cluded, in his view. Character Change Seen . In the Park Service letter to Neuberger, Scoyen said: "The present sparse use of the lake shore for residential and recreation service busi nesses has not thus far great ly changed their character and potentiality for public recrea tion. Unless, however, there is a comprehensive program for preservation of the essen tial park values involved, be fore it is too late, it is highly probable that commercial de velopment' will continue to spread over the area and change its character to the point where its potentials as a national seashore will be ir revocably lost." 'FLYING DOCTOR' SOS Lisbon-(UPD-The Portuguese Health Ministry is planning a "flying doctor" service equip ped with helicopters to speed medical relief to accident vic tims in rural districts. Most of Portugal's nine million citi zens live in small towns and villages, while the country's doctors tend to concentrate in larger population centers. The "flying doctor" service is being pioneered by he na tion's near Minister of Health, i Dr. Martins de Carvalho. The Senate Public Lands subcommittee last week tour ed the Indiana Dunes area, where Sen. Paul Douglas (D 111.) wants to create another seashore.

Ernest Gruen- ing (D-Alaska), determined what they thought will bea workable compromise be tween industrial' and recrea tion purposes. The subcommit tee has been urged by Morse and Neuberger to visit the Or egon Dunes this fall. Rep. Charles O. Porter is trying to get the House lands subcom mittee to make it a joint investigation.
