Porter Praises Smokey Bear on Floor of House Washington -(DPB- Represen tative Charles O. Porter (D Ore.) Wednesday praised the United States -Forest Service nd its firefighting Smokey Bear on the floor of the House of Representatives. Porter praised the forest service "for its ingenious pro motion of Smokey Bear and ior lis other remarkably well executed efforts to save the nation's forests for the profit ana pleasure of everyone." Richard . MeCardle. For est Service Chief, told Porter that Smokey Bear receives more than a thousand letters and postcards daily, mostly from children. The Forest Service has set ub a Junior Forest Range organization for children which has more than three million members. . MeCardle told Porter that "We believe there i- a direct correlation between Smokey's success and the dramatic for est fire reduction since the program started in 1953." Portervsaid the record shows that in 1941 before the Cooperative Forest Fire Pre vention Campaign 210,000 for- ets ' fires burned 32 million acres. According to the Oregon congressman present figures indicate that last year less than 100,000 fires burned fewer than 4 million acres! Porter said that these re eent figures resulted despite a 600 per cent increase in' use of the forests.

Nevertheless, they go thorugh the formality of checking the record to stall for time for the missing colleagues. ' If more time is needed, a senator will even ask how he voted, as though " he didn't know. There have been times when half the senators in the chamber, so far as the record shows, didn't know whether or how they voted. . When all missing senators 4 1 t.mV lli. tense is dropped and the vote is announced.
