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

Z The State Department issued
a statement questioning

- 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

in the three weeks of fight-

on timber purchaser road
construction. 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.

hostess and the president,
Mrs. Henley Clawson.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Watt Jr.
and sons, Tommy and Ronny,
returned recently from a
week's vacation in Oregon.
On July 25 in Tillamook they
attended the wedding of a.
friend, then went on to Sea
side where they spent a week
at "The Tides."
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.
