Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT C:R5- A GOSSIP COLUMNIST, who drops names at the rate of a hundred an hour, remarked languidly at an after theater party, "Two months ago today I met the Queen ol xngiana. a momn ago TWO MONTHS AGO TODAY I MET., today I met the Kine of Belgium. And this after noon I had tea with a princess of The Nether lands." "Dear boy," ob served an unimpressed producer, "aren't you get ting into a rut?" The late Hollywood ty coon, Cecil De MUle, never waa burdened with too large a bump of modesty. A. friend in New York once told him, "My wife and I are taking a trip around the world this spring." "What a waste of time," scoffed De Mille. "Why don't you come out to Hollywood and have lunch with me!" "Charley Weaver," nS Cliff Arquette, confesses, and without a gun at his head, too, that one of his all-time favorite jokes is the one about Grandma Hogg, of Mt. Idy, buying 300 pounds of steel wool. The reason? "She's gonna knit a stove." I960, by Bennett Cert, Distributed by King Futures Syndicate In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Financial page news: Business in the U.S. moved steadily ahead last week, with indications growing stronger that 1960 will be a GOOD but not a BOOM year. The presi dent of Union Carbide, one of the nation's very large cor porations, puts it like this in an interview with a financial reporter: v "There is every evidence that the economy is in a level ing out stage. I certainly think I can say 1960 will not be a boom year." ANOTHER business leader, Henry C. Alexander, chairman of the board . of Morgan Guaranty Trust Com pany of New York, the na tion's fifth largest commer cial bank, has this to say: "I expect business to stay good for some time to come. Ye are NOT about to enter into any sharp recession. On the other hand, we are not about to LAUNCH A BOOM on top of the expansion we've had since the summer of 1998." IS THAT bad news? It might be for the spec ulators, who flourish and wax fat in boom periods, but for the general run of us it's prety good news. Booms follow recessions. RECESSIONS FOLLOW BOOMS. So- If we're not facing a boom now, we don't need to worry too much over an impending recession. QUESTION: Why, in our modern economy, do recessions tend to follow booms at intervals of about every other year or such a matter? This may be one reason: Our capacity to produce seems to exceed our capacity to CONSUME AT EXISTING PRICES. (There is of course no limit to our capacity to consume if we could find the wherewithal to pay for all the things we want.) So- Since our capacity to pro duce seems to exceed our ability to buy all the things e'd like to have, inventories tend to build up in boom periods. When the inventories get too big, we have to slow down on production until the warehouses are emptied again. Then we go into another boom that lasts until we get the warehouses filled up. ANYWAY If 1960 turns out to be a good, steady year, with no boom but with consumption just about equaling produc tion, it will turn out to be better for the average run of us than a continuing boom that would be apt to wind up in another recession. Drone Target Escapes Control Point Arguello, Calif.-IUPD-A seven-and-a-half-foot Navy drone target craft escaped its radio control Monday and flew over populated areas be fore crashing in the Pacific. Air Force interceptor planes were sent aloft to shoot down the propeller - driven drone when it got loose and headed north toward San Francisco, traveling at more than 200 miles an hour. The drone crashed about 50 miles north of here at Morro Bay before the interceptors spotted it.

Kyle, Manager Administration Wants to Create National Seashore on Oregon Coast By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton has for the first time said plainly the Eisenh o w e r Admini s t r a tion wants to create a na t i o n a 1 sea shore on the Oregon coast. But he is opposed to several f e a- A. kobi. smiib lures recom mended by Gov. Mark Hat field. And Seaton has steered clear of the idea of naming the park for the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger. This was disclosed this week in the text of a new 30-page proposed national seashore bill which Seaton sent Con gress in hopes it will be en acted. It would specifically authorize three national sea shores - Oregon Dunes, Cape Cod and Padre Island, Tex. Heretofore, Seaton has re fused to endorse specific areas which had been recommended for national seashores by the National Park Advisory Board. He simply wanted Con gress to grant him authority to acquire land and establish these seacoast parks similar to Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina. Specific Boundaries Seaton's proposed new bill - the sixth seashore bill to emerge during the past year since Neuberger started the campaign in May, 1959 - also sets out specific boundaries. This feature was originally demanded by Rep. Charles O. Porter so that local residents would know precisely where the park would be located when Congress acted on the enabling legislation. The boundaries are on the whole those specified by the governor's natural resources committee. Sea Lion Caves could be added to the park in the fu ture by executive order of the president, after consulta tion with the governor, Sea ton observed. He omitted the requirement in the Hatfield proposal which prohibited ad dition of the Sea Lion Caves or enlargement of the park without concurrence of the governor and the state legis lature, Another feature of the Hat field measure which w a s dropped by Seaton was a re quirement that the federal government make payments in lieu of taxes to local gov ernments. "Studies of the economic impact of national park es tablishment indicate that pay ments in lieu of taxes for a period of 25 years, as pro vided for in S. 2898 (the gov ernor's bill, as introduced by Neuberger last January), are probably not required to bridge the gap in local taxes occasioned by the purchase of land for park purposes before the development and public use of the park begin to pro duce additional local revenue and local taxes," Seaton ex plained. Provision Omitted The Interior Secretary noted that he had also omit ted the. provision which would have given the state of Oregon primary jurisdiction over fish and wildlife in the seashore, but he retained language authorizing Interior to enter cooperative agree ments with the state for fish' ing and hunting regulation that will not materially inv pair park values. On the question of private property rights, the new Sea ton bill accepts the general prescription of the Hatfield proposal. Seaton s bill states: "Any owner or owners of (opperDistilled SOUR MASH KENTUCKY BOURBON improved property on the date of its acquisition by the secretary may, as a condition to such acquisition, retain the right of use and occupancy of his property for noncommer cial residential purposes for a term not to exceed 25 years, or for a term ending at the death of such owner, the death of his spouse, or the day his last surviving child reaches the age of 21, whichever is the latest. The owners shall elect the term to be reserved. "In any case where such an owner retains a right of use and occupancy as herein pro vided, such right may during its existence be conveyed or leased, in whole, but not in part. The secretary shall pay to the owner the fair market value of the property on the date of such acquisition less the fair market value on such date of the right retained by the owner." Seaton drODDod thn rpnuirp. ment that sand dune stabili zation work be conducted as prescribed by the Soil Con servation Service, which is an agency of the Department of Agriculture. Seaton's bill simply says: May Conduct Programs "The secretary may conduct such sand dune stabilization and erosion control programs with the Oregon Dunes Na tional Seashore as deemed necessary to Insure the protec tion of man made develop ments and the natural re sources of the area, and he shall secure the advice of oth er federal and state agencies to accomplish these pur poses.' Seaton's bill retains the general terms permitting withdrawal of ground water and disposal of wastes in the area of the dunes, for indus trial purposes, providing these actions do not "materially im pair the scenic, scientific and recreational features of the seashore." The bill requires any high way relocation work to be underwritten by the federal MAIL TRIBUNIj. Medford, Or. Vueiday.
