The arti cles are written by Mrs. Wilgia Morrison, long-time reporter of Oregon educa tion. Today's articles is the second in a two-part discus sion of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation survey project.) P -.zVi-W'F-1- By WILMA MORRISON Discovery of a magnificent wilderness park area on the Warm Springs Reservation in Central Oregon - 1,100 acres virtually unknown even to the Indians themselves - is a side light of the unusual Warm Springs developmental study now being done by Oregon State college. From standpoint of the Con federated Tribes of the Warm Springs who are seeking plans for the economic-social-educational future of their reserva tion, this wilderness beauty area could be like finding gold at the grass roots. Paul Tschirley of the OSC natural resources staff called the park land a "fantastic natural complex of Alpine and sub-Alpine terrain . . . quality scenic land, among the best to be found in the Cascades. If the forest service had it, it would probably be set aside as a wilderness park area," he said. Only Scenic Area Left Dr. Norman McKown, direc tor of the Warm Springs re search project, said, "This is the only mountain scenic area left in the Cascades that is not tied up with the National Parks or forest service, and thus is open to private recrea tional development." The recreational find is north of Mt. Jefferson and borders on the forest service's famed Jefferson Wilderness park. A one-half mile walk from Skyline road that trav els the top of the Cascades and you are in this beauty area called Kuckup park, it is "seemingly landscaped but' x A J UNEXPECTED FIND - One of the unex pected finds of the Oregon State survey team on the Warm Springs project is a virtually unknown 1,100-acre wilderness park area north of Mt. Jefferson. Natural resource specialists say this is among the best scenic and . recreational land to be found in the Cascades, and the only such quality land left that is open to private development. This is view from one of the gem-like Papoose lakes that lie within one-half mile of Skyline rd. could not be duplicated," Tschirley said. "It is open and rolling, with Alpine and sub-Alpine flora blooming all summer. There are ten small lakes lying in two gem-like clusters, with 10,000 foot Mt. Jefferson tow ering above." Only Explanation Only explanation of the fact that this beauty spot has gone virtually unnoticed even by this generation of Indians themselves is that it is off the beaten track of the Warm Springs people who live, for the most part, in the eastern portion of their 600,000-acre reservation. Also the Warm Springs policy has been to re quire permits for vacation travel in their forest areas. Oregon State college's un usual and little-publicized study of the state s last in tact Indian reservation began lVz years ago. It was instigat ed by the 11-man council of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm- Springs Reservation which authorized $100,000 of tribal funds to the project. The study, according to both Indian bureau and college heads, is unprecedented in its scope - taking in sociological and psychological factors as well as the industrial and nat ural resource potentials of the reservation and its 1,469 mem bers. Commits College The survey agreement with OSC commits the college to follow through on its recom mendations to the tribal lead ers, with practical how-to-doit advice. In August, when the council receives the report of the college team (more than 25 professionals, representing some 10 study fields are in volved), it will include among the recommendations on agri culture, water, timber and hu man resources, advice on the private development possibili ties of their wilderness park. To that end, Tschirley and Al exander Davidson of the busi ness and technology depart ment, have been conferring with recreation interests in Oregon and California. One of the key assumptions of the college and tribal lead ers, was that human factors were important, possibly more important than the agricultu-i ral, timber, water and other natural resources of the Warm Springs. Dr. McKown who came to OSC a little over a year ago to head the study is a social psychologist by training, with a background of experience in communications research at Stanford university. To Get Results "It is our philosophy to get the results (of the study) used," he said. "That is why off fflara Springs $wwy ' i LOOKS TO CHANGES - Preservation and development of their children's heritage in tribal resources is a driving mo tive of the Council of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation.

Plambeck, chairman of the sociology department, and McKown. we have gone to such lengths to talk to the people, to get them involved in the work of the college specialists." Elmon Yoder of the OSC engineering staff who has been surveying the water re sources of the reservation near Madras, said, "They have some valuable land, but the success of the study we are doing depends entirely on our success in communicating with these people."

The communist government has taken over all the rest. Most of the privately-owned East German firms which exhibited products at this month's industrial fair , in Leipzig printedbeneath their company names the following words: "with state participa tion." . That phrase is an epitaph. Means State Control It means the communist state has seized control of part of the shares of each such company. It is only a matter of time until the original own er is forced out altogether. One-half of the tillable land of East Germany now is in one form or another part of communist collectives. These collectives range from "type Q" in which farmers turn their land over to the collec tive but retain ownership of their livestock, to "type 3" which is a true collective or "kolchoz." Churches Remain Open The communists want all farmland in collectives by the end of 1963, and this month ordered their "agitprop" men to intensify their activities to this end. Churches remain open -East Germany is almost whol ly Lutheran and congrega tions are large. But pastors must tread carefully lest they be accused of betraying the state. Communist "name giving," "youth consecration" and marriage ceremonies are be ing used to replace church baptisms, confirmations and weddings. In other ways, East Ger mans cannot forget that they live in a communist state. One can never openly op pose or criticize the commu nist system. Still, newly-arrived visitors are astonished at the amount of complaints they hear expressed publicly. Not once, however, is any official named, or the system as such criticized. Boy Gets Inside Look at Clothes Dryer Bartow, Fla. - (DPD - Four year - old Tommy Anderson knows the inner workings of an automatic clothes dryer. Tommy and brother How ard, 2, were watching their mother do the laundry. When the phone rang she went up stairs to answer it. Tommy climbed inside the dryer for a loop around; Howard shut, the door and turned on the motor. Mrs. Anderson came run ning, rescued Tommy un harmed, spanked Howard and set about rewasbing the clothes that had been in the dryer. EARLY WAR PRINTS - New York Roger Fenton, the first war photographer of record, made his own wet plates in the field, often with the , whites of eggs as fixatives. ciation with the reservation people was an influence to ward this study by the col lege, also called communica tion with the people the key. Throughout the survey, Mc Kown and his associates have met as often as possible with small and large groups at Warm Springs, explaining the findings and purposes of the study. When these meetings have involved older members of the tribes who prefer their own languages to English, the interpretation sessions have run as long as eight hours. 'Slow, Patient Process' It is this "slow, patient process" of interpretation that Don C. Foster, area director for the bureau of Indian af fairs, said makes the OSC re search work with the Warm Springs unique. , And it is this slow, patient process of information that will occupy the research staff entirely during the last two months of the project. July and August have been set aside for full-time transaction of the study findings and rec ommendations to the Warm Springs people. Tribal Council ' "We have found them a fine moral people," McKown said. "Their old people are extreme ly perceptive.".-; TThis is a joint project, the work of the college will be of no use to the Warm Springs unless the people themselves are ready to use it." The tribal council on whom the activation of the study recommendation greatly de pends, includes 11 men: the .
