g MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford', Or. Porter Offers Bill To Set Up Forest Road, Trail Work Washington - Congressman Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) to- day introduced legislation to I step up development of roads and trails in national forests. The bill would implement J part of the long-range pro- gram for the National Forests f submitted recently by Secre i tary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson and Forest Service I Chief Richard E. McArdle. J The Program is in accord with long-time recommendations of the Committees of Congress J charged with overseeing the 1 Forest Service. Porter's bill, similar to other bills introduced by Sen ; ator James E. Murray (D ; Mont.), contains two provi J sions which similar legisla- tion in previous years has not I included. One is a limitation Reds Accused of Stirring Up Laos Z Washington-(UPD-The United States has accused the Com - munists of deliberately start- ; ing the fighting in Laos "to ; keep tensions alive in South Z east Asia." Z The State Department issued a statement questioning jj whether this is part of a Mos - cow-directed move with pos- sible world-wide implications ; Press Officer Lincoln White ; flately rejected charges by ; North Viet Nam that the Unit- Z ed States was establishing bases in Laos. - He said the situation is dangerous only because the ; Communist North Viet Nam S government has been backing ; the Laotian insurgent forces in the three weeks of fight- ; lng. ; Huge Wave at Sea Causes Four Deaths Yokosuka, Japan (DPD A : huge wave crashed over the bow bow of a U.S. Naval transport Sunday, causing the deaths of four men including - a naval officer who gave his ' life to ' save a Marine, the !

The purpose of this provision, said Porter, is to increase federal revenue and to reduce hidden spend ing while approved authoriza tions go unused. The other new feature would repeal the law which permits 10 per cent of Forest Service receipts to be used for roads and trails. This would consolidate Forest De velopment Road authoriza tions in one place, subject to Congressional review. The National Forest pro gram calls for investing more than $2.2 billion in forests over the next 12 years, with the largest single investment for roads and trails. The bill introduced today anticipates a gradual increase toward a lev el of $60 million a year in ap propriated funds - $40 million in 1962 and $50 million in 1963. The present authoriza tion is $30 million. . Porter said he consulted a n u m b e r of lumbermen in Western Oregon with respect to the proposed legislation be fore he decided to introduce it in Congress. He received in reply a number of letters deal ing with provisions of the bill. In general the comment was favorable and led to his decision to go ahead with an attempt to legislate in this im portant field during the cur rent session. For example, the manager of the Port Orford Plywood Corporation, Joseph K. Zook, told Porter that he felt "the bill should tend to overcome some of the difficulties en countered by the Forest Serv ice." President Duane Autzen of the Portland Manufacturing Company said, "It seems to me . . . that (the bill) is a big step in the right direction in solving road problems. . . . Basically I am in favor of the bill. . . . Thanks again for your . . constant etiort in behalf of the lumber indus try." Congressman Porter said that some of those who re plied suggested amendments, mostly technical, to the legis lation. He said the proposals will be passed on to the House Committee on Public Works, to which the bill will be re ferred, for consideration when hearings on the legislation are held.

The beehive of activity that swarmed around the lo cal camp of the California di vision of Forestry had com pletely subsided by Aug. 1 and all was peace and quiet once more. The local citizenry are grateful to all who worked so hard and long in holding back the fire that ravaged some 2,800 acres. In spite of the fact that the wind-whipped flames came perilously near a number of homes, not one was ' lost, thanks not only to the state and government agencies, but also to the prompt, cool-headed action of neighbors and friends. While any number of ner sons . aided in battling the fire, and all deserve mention, two in particular should be singled out and given special notice. They are Glen Rob ertson and George C. Smith, who fought for 45 minutes to save the home of neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ohlund The Ohlunds were in Yreka at the time the fire broke out, and it was while saving his friends home, that Smith received painful burns on his hands, and also saw his own garage and tool shed burn down with the loss of all his tools, acquired over his life span of 76 years. The fire raged to within four feet of the Ohlunds' house, but their only loss was their chicken house and a pile of new lumber which they were using in their new home in Yreka. It is a sad commen tary on the character of a man to be "weighed in the balance and found wanting," but to be "weighed in the balance" in time of stress, as these two men were, and found not wanting must bring a thrill of quiet peace and joy to the heart of any man.
