Dunes Opponents
Have Strong Ally
In Ervin Peterson
Br A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
- Washington (Special) - Op
ponents of the proposed Ore
gon Dunes National Seashore
, have a strong
ally high up
in the Eisen
hower admin
istration - As
sistant Secre
tary of Agri
ture Ervin I
Peterson.
Peterson is
flatly opposed
a. bom. sout to the legisla
tion introduced by Sen. Rich-
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) for
creating a national seashore
on the Oregon coast between
Reeds port and Florence.
The Department of Agricul
ture has prepared an adverse
report on the proposal which
will be sent to Congress, Pe
terson said in an interview.
"The bulk of that area is in
national forests," observed
Peterson. "People can go in
there for recreation. They can
hunt, they can fish, they can
get to the beach. I fail to see
that there would be any pub
lic benefits in Uncle Sam tak
ing off his forest service hat
and putting on his park serv
ice hat"
Would Transfer Jurisdiction
Peterson was referring to
the fact that if a national sea
shore were created at the Ore
gon Dunes, the federal juris
diction would be transferred
from the U.S. Forest Service
to the National Park Service
over those public lands now
administered in that area by
the Forest Service. The For
est Service is one of the
.Mnri(s of the Agriculture
Department which come un
der Peterson's responsibility.
The Park Service is under the
Interior Department.
" When it was suggested that
one reason advanced for cre
ating a national seashore is
that it would be widely publi
cized as a tourist attraction,
Peterson acknowledged that
the Forest Service has "bally
hooed" its recreation areas.
But he argued that, despite
this, recreation use of the na
tional forests has doubled m
recent years. .
"The issue involved nere,
contended Peterson, "is single
.use vs. multiple use. That area
is essentially a recreation
area, but it has agriculture po
tential." Peterson a native of North
Bend, Ore., spoke of timber
cutting in the forests, and the
growth of . commercial inter
ests on the private land that
would be taken over by the
Park Service.
"Do you throw all this out
in favor of one use?" he
asked.
What about the ' proposed
bill of Interior Secretary Fred
A. Seaton that would give
him authority to go out and
create three ' national sea
shores at places he considered
appropriate?
Peterson said his depart
ment favors this bill, as long
as it is amended to exclude
areas involving national for
ests. VI think it's in the public
interest to preserve our sea
shores," he averred, noting
the vanishing shoreline on
the Atlantic Coast.
Little Liklihood Seen
With the Agriculture De
partment opposing the Neu
berger seashore bill, and the
Interior Department thus far
shying away from it in prefer
ence to Seaton's bill, there ap
pears little liklihood that the
Budget Bureau the legisla
tive clearinghouse for the
president - will be able to
grant a favorable report on
the bill.
The Budget Bureau has
cleared Seaton's general au
thority bill, with its request
for authorization to spend up
to $15 million in buying up
land for creation of three na
tional seashores.
Budget Bureau support, or
that of the entire Eisenhower
administration, is not a re
quirement to get a bill enact
ed by Congress, . especially
when control of the legislative
branch is held by the opposite
party. But is materially im
proves the prospect of success.
Hollywood -DPD- Errol
Flynn's estate is the object of
an impending battle between
his heirs and his 17-year-old
"protegee" Beverly Aadland,
but a thief was satisfied just
to get the late actor's type
writer. Someone broke into
Flynn's closed home within
the last several days and stole
only one item, the typewriter,
police reported Sunday.
Prison Magazine
Lists Reasons for
Inmate Downfall
Atlanta (CPU - Have you ever
passed by the cold, high walls
of . a prison and wondered
what manner of man was be
hind the barrier? ,
The answer has been pro
vided for one famous prison
- the U. S. penitentiary here
by the alert editors of the
institution's slick paper maga
zine, the Atlantian.
They spent 'six months in
terviewing 500 prisoners to
get their facts for "Project
Prisoner," a statistical study
that has won praise from
famed psychiatrist Dr. Karl
A. Menninger and from War
den Fred T. Wilkinson.
The project, Wilkinson said,
was particularly useful be
cause it encouraged prisoners
to ask themselves: "Why did
I get this way?"
Women Rate Low
Contrary to what may be
popular belief, women and
gambling did not put the skids
to the prisoners as much as
other things did - for exam
ple: bad company (25.7 per
cent), liquor (21 per cent),
emotional problems (17.6 per
cent) and broken homes (13.4
per cent).
Women rated 9.3 per cent
on the downfall scale and
gambling only 3.7 per cent.
Inmates of the penitentiary
are a bit above the average in
intelligence and 62.7 per cent
said they attended church in
the outside world.
Homes Not in Bad Light
As for conditions in homes
.irom w n l c h the prisoners
came, the statistics do not
show them in a bad light.
More than 70 per cent of the
500 men said readily . they
were from "happy" homes
which had an "average" liv
ing standard. In 66 per cent
of the cases, no other member
of the family had been in trou
ble. But there was a high per
centage ot aivorce 43 per
cent.
The highest percentage
mark (83.2) came in answer
to the question: "Do you plan
to go straight?" Among the
dissenters on . this question,
however, came this plaintive
reply from a man serving his
sixth term at the age of 30:
"When I leave I will have
about $30 and that is all
no clothes, no home, no place
to go. I will have to steal to
get by. I started, and once you
have started, what is the use
of stopping?"
Further Evidence
The magazine project con
tained further evidence that
there is no such thing as a
"criminal face." The feature
included a photograph of 20
men - 10 inmates and 10
members of the prison staff.
Members of the UPI bureau
here took the prisoner face
test and almost everyone
flunked.
Commenting on the prison
magazine study, Wilkinson
said that he hopes to see the
day "when the same type
questions (put to the prison
ers) will be asked by mem
bers of society who stand by
guiltily when the prison doors
close greedily behind the sym
bols of its failure."
Wall Street
Chatter
New York-ilJPD-A final set
tlement of the steel strike
will not result in a marked
inflationary trend, asserts the
International Statistical Bu
reau. "
The Bureau says the in
crease resulting from a settle
ment would be only nominal
ly reflected, in higher . steel
prices and cost of living.
It noted that marked in
crease in wages with a re
sultant sharp gain in prices
would certainly have a gen
eral impact, but this is "hard
ly likely to occur in the settle
ment of the steel strike."
Airline, oil, finance and air
craft shares are having trou
ble making any sustained pro
gress because of heavy tax
selling operations, says In
vestors Research Co.
Printers Ink notes that
August advertising volme on
a national basis rose 10 per
cent.
Spear & Staff re-recom
