Boardman Work Will Mark
Beginning of Revolution
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Salem-UP1)-The first splash
of concrete on 96,000 acres of
sagebrush at the Boardman
site in Morrow county will
herald the beginning of an
economic revolution in east
ern Oregon.
The state now has the au
thority to acquire the federal
bombing range and turn it
into a space age industrial
park for private industry.
"Basically the path is clear,"
fays Robert Tarr of Portland,
director of the Oregon Depart
ment of Planning and De
velopment. "But there are
many details to be worked
out. It may be months or a
year before things really be
gin to pop."
The Navy is still using the
area for bombing practice, as
Jt has since 1956. It is desert
like country, isolated, with
some grazing land near the
perimeter. One of the big
drawing cards for industry
is its nearness to the Colum
bia river", meaning premium
water transportation.
There are hopes the indus
trial park will have about
seven miles of river frontage.
-Area Remote .
Another advantage for a
missile-age operation is the
area's remoteness. There is
freedom from electronic inter
ference while at thr same
time rail and highway facili
ties are available. The size
also is important. The area,
which would be enlarged to
well over 100.000 acres, is one
of the last of its kind in the
nation for private develop
ment. The Navy has agreed to re
locate at a similar tract in
Lake county after the state
signs a Boardman customer.
One of the biggest pros
pects. Aerojet General Corp
oration of Sacramento, Calif.,
has indicated that within a
few months it will make its
multi - million dollar decision
on Boardman. - A possible
8,000-man rocket engine pay
roll could make it the state's
biggest single private employer.

CALIF. GRAPE BRANDV. S4
One knowledgeable source
told United Press Internation
al that a firm even larger
than Aerojet has been in con
tact about the Boardman site.
No names were named.
But whether one large firm
settled there, or several small
er ones, the development is
certain to bring on a gigantic
economic shove. Every city
within 100 miles is excited
about the possibilities.
There is no organized op
position to the development.
Commission Formed
Morrow County Judge Os
car Peterson said the project
is too immense for one county
and a six -county planning
commission has been formed
including Morrow, Umatilla,
Wasco, Gilliam, Sherman and
Hood River counties.
The first combined meeting
of this group with state plan
ners is June 22 at The Dalles.
Judge Peterson predicts
eventual growth of the Board
man area at up to 400.000
people, approaching the size
of Portland.
Umatilla County Judge D.
R. "Sam" Cook forsees a
"recreation revolution" in
eastern Oregon along with the
industrial expansion.
Pendleton, 42 miles away,
is the closest good-sized city.
Ted Smith, president of the
Pendleton Chamber of Com
merce, feels the expansion
will be "dynamic, swift and
will present plenty of growing
pains" but the impact will be
very positive. "We can't
fathom the extent of the
Board man development at
this time but we know it's go
ing to be tremendous."
Seventy miles west of
Boardman at The Dalles you
hear the same thing. The port
is the terminus of the Colum
bia's deep draft channel and
The Dalles could well become
a supply and satellite industry
mecca for Boardman.
One civic leader comment
ed: "We feel like we're sitting
on an industrial powderkeg."

New Approaches
Planned by Nixon
Houston, Tex. - (UPI) - Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
disclosed Saturday night that
he has proposed several new
approaches to the nation's
farm problem to the platform
committee for next month's
Republican National conven
tion in Chicago.
Nixon told a question-and-
answer. session of the Texas
Press association that he will
outline his program "in some
detail" in a speech Monday
in North Dakota. He indicated
that his program will involve
a variety of new suggestions
by stating that he believes "a
number of new approaches"
rather than any rigid plan
should be adopted.
Nixon's dissatisfaction with
the farm policies of Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Ben
son has been well known, but
he had not been expected to
disclose the outlines of the
plan before the convention.
