The hearings

In the Department of Interior
auditorium, Portland, from
9:30 to 4:30 each day.
; SB A's timber set-aside pro
gram was established as result
of an amendment to the per
manent small business act
passed last year. The amend
ment was sponsored by Ore
gon Sens. Wayne Morse and
Richard L. Neuberger and
others. Under this amendment,
SBA was charged with making
certain small business got a
share of the government's tim
ber market.
Agreements were sub
sequently worked out between
SBA and the Forest Service
and Bureau of Land Mannge
ment. SBA announced last
week that it will assign rep
resentatives to cover major
timber sales activities of the
two federal timber agencies.
Joint Determination
SBA will make joint de
terminations covering small
business set-asides after re
viewing the cutting program
and the yearly sales plan with
the forest supervisor or dis
trict manager of the national
forest or O&C lands.
When the timber is adver
tised for sale by either of the
two agencies, conditions of
the set-asides for small busi-1
ness firms will be stated.
Under SBA size standards,
a company is considered small
business for sale of government-owned
timber, if it is
primarily engaged in the log
ging or forest products indus
try; is independently owned
and operated; is not dominant
in its field of operation, and
with its affiliates employs not
more than 100 persons.
Certain Limitations
SBA said its classification
also states that "any concern
which submits bids or offers
for the purchase of government-owned
timber in its own
name but which proposes to
resell such timber in the form
of logs, bolts, plywood, or
similar products, is a small
business concern only when
(1) it is small within the mean

Thornton told the group
that "much valuable informa

Thornton said that in cases

He said that once the case
becomes noised throughout
the underworld and "plastered
all over the press, radio, and

of gathering the evidence and
obtaining a conviction are
virtually nil."

SOLVING NATIONAL
PARK PROBLEM
By Don Jepsen
On July 1, 1956, the Na
tional Park Service launched
Mission 66, a 10-year improve
ment program designed to res
cue the 29 national parks
from the abuses of overcrowd
ing. By 1966, the golden anni
versary of the Service (hence
the name) it is hoped that
enough visitor facilities will
have been developed to han
dle an estimated 80 million
tourists expected by then.
This includes new lodges,
campsites, trailer courts and
administration buildings as
well as improvements in the
existing facilities such as
roads and trails. New visitor
centers will be developed to
better educate the visiting
tourist and make his stay
more enjoyable and informa
tive. Sorely Needed
A program of this type was
sorely needed. Since the end
of World War H, park visita
tion has leaped steadily up
ward until by 1957 over 59
million persons were crowd
ing into areas equipped to
handle less than half their
number. A harassed under
staffed corps of park rangers
not only became responsible
for the education of these
hordes of tourists but ' had
added to their instructional
and light maintenance, duties
the added burdens of law en
forcement, direction of traffic-even
the cleaning of la
trines. Accommodations were
badly overcrowded while im
provements and expansion by
private enterprise were al
most nil. The more unscrupu
lous concessionaries began
taking advantage of the de
mand for food and lodgings
by raising their prices to a
level which would be laughed
at outside park boundaries.
Herbert Maier, assistant re
gional Park Service director
of Region 5 in San Francisco
summed up the problem of
overcrowding and deteriora
tion of park facilities:
Long Ignored
"First we had to arrive at
as realistic a visitation figure
as possible in order to get a
program such as Mission 66
formulated, approved, and
into action. If two things
were static-cost and visitation
-then there would be no prob
lem. But they're not and that's
a fact which we have ignored
for so many years, while our
park system kept getting
worse and worse."
Maier continued, "The tra
vel curve has always been our
best justification for appropri-ations-whether
we got them
or not. Now we are going to
project that curve through
Mission 66 . . i and our appro
priation will always be com
mensurate with our increased
visitation or planned increase
of visitation - that we know
now."
Wilderness Question
The Mission 66 expansion
program gave rise to another
vital question which needed
to be worked out by the serv
ice - wilderness preservation.
The National Park Service
credo 'is "preservation with
use." How much preservation
(in a wilderness state) to how
much use has never been spe
cifically designated. It goes
all the way back to 1872 when
our first rational park, Yel
lowstone in Wyoming, was
formed. Although the point
was not specifically defined
then; it was nevertheless un
derstood that the park was to
remain essentially a wilder
ness, with a reasonable
amount of accommmodations
and other improvements to be
constructed for the comfort of
visitors. Yellowstone had a
stormy history; an area of
lesser significance might not
have survived the test. Today
all the parks are governed by
the rules first formulated for
Yellowstone.
In 1916 when the National
Park Service was formed the
wilderness factor was defined
a little more specifically in
the act that created this
body: " . i . (exists) to con
serve the scenery and the na
tural and historic objects and
the wild life therein ... to
provide for the enjoyment of
the same in such means as
HERTZ
TRUCK RENTAL

at
HOPKINS RICHFIELD
. SERVICE

Phone SP 3-9068
will leave them unimpaired
for the enjoyment of future
generations." Therefore a pro
gram of expansion had t6 be
kept within certain limits in
order to maintain the park
system in a predominantly
wilderness state.
In Third Year
Mission 66 is nearing com
pletion of its third year.
Through the program Park
Service officials have fought
to relieve some of the conges
tion in parks like Yosemite in
California, Great Smoky in
North Carolina and Yellow
stone. Included in plans for
Mission 66 is the eventual re
location of facilities connect
ed with administration outside
park boundaries. This would
include such things as incin
erators, some administration
buildings, warehouses and
other facilities necessary to
maintain tfee parks. A large
section of ground has been
purchased just outside the
Arch Rock entrance to Yose
mite, and eventually all facili
ties not essential for tourist
accommodation will be moved
here. In some parks plans are
being made to move even the
visitor facilities either to less
scenic areas or completely
outside park boundaries. This
is true in both Mt. Rainier
park in Washington ; and
Rocky Mountain park in Colo
rado. At a Mission 66 Advisory
committee meeting in San
Francisco, in October, 1958,
a report was issued reaffirm
ing the preservation of the
parks as the prime concern of
the Mission 66 program: " . . .
we must specifically empha
size . . . that Mission 66 is
aimed primarily at protection
and at preservation."
No Sacrifice Seen ,
The report went on to say
that it was possible to handle
increasing numbers of visitors
"within "the forecasts of our
lifetime" without sacrificing
the protection and preserva
tion of the basic resource, wil
derness. v
An integral part of Mission
66 is a plan for "encouraging
public and private agencies to
develop other recreation areas
to take the pressure off exist
ing National Park Service
areas." This has led to the for
mation of a Division of Recre
a t i o n Resources Planning
within the Service to analyze
and evaluate proposals to in
clude new areas in the park
system as well as to encour
age state and local authori
ties to develop areas for recre
ation on a state and county
level.
Such areas in the park sys
tem would not be included as
national parks, but as nation
al recreation areas. The basic
distinction is that in the recre
tion areas the emphasis would
be on commercial recreation
development as opposed to
wilderness preservation. An
outstanding example right
now is the proposed Oregon
Coast National Seashore Rec
reation area between Flor
ence and Reedsport, plus a
portion north of this encom
passing the Sea Lion calves.
The proposal for the Oregon
area is currently the center
of controversy, but a state
ment by President Eisenhow
er that the Service should go
slow on the acquisition of new
land until it can shape up
present service areas with the
Mission 66 program may post
pone development of the coast
area for a year or more.
Wilderness Bill ,
As the Park Service was so
lidifying policy and moving
ahead with its program, Sen.
Hubert Humphrey of Minne
sota introduced a Wilderness
bill on the floor of the Senate.

Magazine Reviews
Klamath Falls Past
The history of Klamath
Falls is reviewed in the July
issue of the Forestry Digest,
national forest industry news
magazine.
The article -states that the
city was founded as a wagon
train settlement in 1867 nam
ed Linkville during an era of
Indian massacres and stage
coach holdups. The first saw
mill was reported to have
moved to the county in 1863
from the gold diggings at
Jacksonville.
The article heralded ' the
move as the beginning of the
forest industry which accounts
for 85 per cent of the county's
manufacturing and processing
activity.
The Digest article says the
Klamath Basin has one of the
nation's richest timber re
sources.
Act-is a plan to place con
tinuous areas of 5,000 acres
and more of roadless lands in
a "wilderness vault" so to
speak. The areas would re
main roadless and devoid of
any commercial development
or exploitation of any kind,
even down to an inconspicu
ous tool shed. It would take
an act of Congress or in some
cases the consent of the Presi
dent to open the portions in
cluded within the system.
Portions of 23 national
parks, along with other wil
derness areas outside of Serv
ice jurisdiction, would tenta
tively qualify for inclusion
within the wilderness system.
As could be expected, conser
vation groups are unanimous
ly in favor of the hill, but
there is some opposition from
the Service as to the "division
of authority" which would be
created if the 'agency (as yet
unnamed) were to govern the
lands within park boundaries.
Maier said, "Where would the
wilderness agency be placed?
How can they administer the
land when they don't even
have title to it? You would be
establishing an agency which
has na title whatsoever to the
wilderness it would govern."
The Service would continue
to administer the land; the
only change would , be that
there could be no construc
tion or roadbuilding within
these areas except by art act
of Congress. All that, is need
ed now for such construction
is permission from the Secre
tary of the Interior.
Effects Unresolved
How this bill would affect
the Mission 66 program re
mains to be seen. The Senate
Interior committee is expect
ed to decide soon whether the
bill should be sent to the
floor for a vote. Backers of
the bill call it a "now or
never" proposition. The Wil
derness Preservation act is
loaded with compromises, in
cluding one . being discussed
by the senate interior commit
tee to require congressional
approval before any land
could be put in the wilderness
system. This would let the
strongest enemies of the bill,
the commercial interests, have
their say on every bit of land
to be included. The measure
is given a 50-50 chance, even
with the deluge of conserva
tion support.
Whether the bill passes or
not, the Mission 66 program
will still be completed, addi
tional improvement programs
will be launched, and the
tourists will continue to come.
The national parks have fi
nally come out of their major
slump and adequate funds- are
currently being provided to
execute a sound planning and
development program for the
most valuable real estate in
America.

Fat, Thin Said To
Get Same Message
On Intake of Food
(Editor's note: Following is the
second of four dispatches on over
weight.) By PATRICIA McCORMACK
UPI Correspondent
New York (UPD Why is it
that some lucky persons can
go through life 'eating like a
horse" and never get fat?
The answer to that question,
when it comes, can do much
to crack the mystery surround
ing the fat of the land.
Science reasons that the
persons who stay thin, though
enormous of appetite, must
have some kind of marvelous
internal regulator in their
brains. It automatically bal
ances food intake and energy
output.
In "fats" and "thins," the
eating urge is in respnse to
some kind of message flashing
through the brains- switch
board. Same Message
Everybody gets the same
message. But, it is interpreted
differently. And some get it
more frequently than others.
i Research with laboratory
mice has demonstrated that a
tiny cluster of cells in the so
called "old brain" hypotha
lamus controls the urge to
eat maintaining a balance
between intake of energy pro
ducing units, calories, and out
put, activity that burns calo
ries. When a certain part of the
hypothalamus of one mouse
was injured, the animal ate in
cessantly and grew enormous
ly fat.

PEPSI
A different part of the "old
brain" was injured in another
mouse. The animal refused to
eat even when food was
placed in its mouth. .
During the experiments, it
is believed the appetite-control
center of the brain was
manipulated. The - center is
called "the appestat" to em
phasize its resemblance to a
thermostat used to turn a fur
nace on and off.
But hoW does the appestat
turn appetite on and off?
One theory holds that we
eat for calories and then stop
when enough energy has been
taken in.
Eai To Keep Warm
A thermostatic theory pro
poses that we eat to keep
warm and feel satiated when
food assimilation brings a rise
in total body heat production.
The most widely accepted
theory is the glucostatic the
ory of Dr. Jean Mayer and as
sociates at Harvard Univer
sity. It holds that appetite sig
nals in the brain are turned on
and off by fluctuating levels
of sugar (glucose) in the blood.
Low blood sugar, according
to this theory, brings hunger;
high blood sugar, raised by
food intake, brings satiation.
The nature of messages fed
into the appestat may cause it
to produce a wrong answer.
Wrong messages are believed
to be at .the root of compul
sive eating.
