The Forests Need Help
Yesterday we commented on the increasing
use of the outdoors by recreation-bound Amer
icans. . Today we can furnish a report on how well
Uncle Sam is doinc the job of providing facili
ties for them on federally-owned land.
The two agencies chiefly responsible for this
chore are the U.S. Park Service, a part of the
department of the interior, and the U.S. Forest,
a part of the department of agriculture.
(Another agency, the Bureau of Land Mange
ment of the interior department, is just now get
ting started on recreational development, Dut
progress is hardly sufficient yet to justify com
ment.) DOTH agencies have embarked on programs of
u improving their recreational facilities. The
park service's is called "Mission 66" a 10 year
program started in 195b
in IQfifi r.hns tho nnmo
granr is called "Operation Outdoors" a five
year program started in 1957.
Both are about half-way
May-June issue of the
izons has reports on
Wirth, director of the national park service, and
John Sieker, director of the division of recreation
and land uses of the forest service.
"Mission 66" is doing pretty well. "Opera
tion Outdoors"' is coming along, but needs a push
'"THE park service expects nearly 5 million
campers to use its
about 5 per cent more
past few years, increases
derestimated, and the total may go well above
that.)
This means some 21,000 campers every day
of the camping season,
ends.
To accommodate these campers, to protect
them, to provide facilities for them, and to pro
tect the scenic resources (which is a major job
of the park service) is a big task.
Thus far, 2,956 new campsites have been com
pleted, and 2,884 others
and improved, or 5,840 out of a total of some
12,000 campsites now existing in. the national
parks.
The objective is to provide 28,000 campsites
by 1966, and the park service expects to complete
this goal plus the other objectives of "Mission

ficulties, first, an unprecedented explosion in the
use of the forests by
second, the reluctance of
enough funds to keep up with the demand.
Between 1946 and 1956, for instance, the
number of recreation visits to the forests almost
tripled from 18.2 million to 52.5 million.
"Operation Outdoors" is now at the half-wav
mark, and Sieker says, "developed campgrounds,
picnic and other recreation sites are receiving
adequate policing, cleanup and maintenance.
They have never been in better shape, and con
tinued progress in this phase of the program is
expected.
DUT, at the same time, only 8,900 of a total of
u 40,000 family units needing rehabilitation by
1962 have been reconstructed. And Sieker savs
that a similar lag was reported on winter sports,
swimming and other facilities.
Original estimates were that 66 million visits
would be made annually by 1962. But already it
is approaching the 75 million mark, and revised
estimates indicated 92 million visits by 1962.
This means that, instead of the original target
of 40,500 new family units withm the next two
years, there will be needed at least 60,000, for a
total of 102,000 just to keep up with minimum
necessities.
And Sieker added :
"Actual financing, which has been less than the
program called for, has held up expansion and re
habilitation. Because of this, over-crowding in national
forest campgrounds and picnic sites continues to in
crease. At the present time there are almost TWICE
AS MANY campers and picnickers in national forest
areas as there are facilities to accommodate them
safely."
"THIS overcrowding leads, not only to disap-
vuavvu tlt, UtiVHVbU VHlill.lt CftJlU ilV.lllVlVl Jj
but also to fire hazards, destruction of natural
surroundings, and the menace of inadequate
sanitation.
Some of this load must be absorbed (as it is
now, to a certain extent) by state, county and
city facilities the agencies, incidentally, which
keep yelling about the federal government play
ing too big a role, and then frequently failing to
do the job themselves. ,
, But the national forests belong to the federal
government that is, to all of us. And it is the
government s responsibility, not only to protect
the forests, but to provide for their use by the
people who own the forests.
.
rESPITE valiant efforts by the forest service,
it can't do the job alone and unassisted.
If everyone who, at one time or another, uses
a forest camp, or a stream or lake or picnic spot
in the forest, would let his congressman know
that the job must be done, it will be done.
If not, it could drag along, too little and too
late, with the forests overcrowded, overused, and
endangered.
They belong to all of us. We should be willincr
to see that their caretakers get the tools to do
the job of service and protection that the forests
need. E.A. . ,

Washington-The real story
of what has passed between
Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas
sachusetts and
his recent
deadly enemy,
Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey
of Minnesota,
is con s 1 d e r-
ably more in
teresting than
the crude ver
sion in com-
To set the stage for this
small drama full of nuances
it is necessary to note that
the Kennedy - Humphrey en
mity was one of those briefly
nnisonous Dolitical plants
which wither fast under the
warm wind of expediency.
Kennedy now wants Hum
phrey's tidy bloc of delegates.
Humphrey has the gravest
doubts about the movement
to draft Adlai Stevenson for
the Democratic nomination.
He fears that he cannot sell
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas in Minnesota. And he
regards the candidacy of Sen.
Stuart Symington of Missouri
as no better than a souffle
that never even started to
rise. These circumstances fa
vored a post-West Virginia
reconciliation, which has oc
curred. THE key episode was Ken
nedy's approach to Hum
phrey. Kennedy musingly In
quired whether Humphrey
was in the running for the
Vice Presidential nomination
in 1960, as he was in 1956.
Humphrey replied that he
had no intention of becoming
an active candidate for the
Vice Presidency, because he
could not risk the damage to
his prestige of a further defeat
after his misfortunes in the
primaries. He confessed, how
ever, that if the Vice Presi
dential spot were offered to
him, he might accept.
Kennedy commented that it
"helped him" to know what
was in Humphrey s mind. And
there the matter ended in as
near a glow of mutual good
will as is likely in such con
versations. There was no of
fer, there was no commitment.
there was no decision. But
there was an exploration of
terrain, useful and potentially
fruitful for both parties.
It must be added that the
magnetic attraction of the
nice little bloc of delegates
that Humphrey largely con
trols is not trie only influ
ence that may persuade Ken
nedy to offer Humphrey the
Vice Presidency, if he wins
the first place on the ticket
himself. Clumps of the less
devout Stevenson-ites are
drifting into the Kennedy
camp, especially in California
Almost all of them come out
with the same message:
"We're for you, Jack, but
please, please give Hubert sec
ond place and reserve the
Secretaryship of State for
Adlai."
TllORE important still, there
Is the recent, really ma
ter Republican disaster in
North Dakota. The horrify
ing depth of the farm discon
tent was glaringly revealed
when this normally rock
ribbed Republican state nar
rowly elected a Democratic
Senator to fill an unexpired
term. To be sure, Vice Presi
dent Nixon's polls, which
showed the Democrat, Rep,
Quentln N. Burdick, winning
the Senate scat by a hair,
also showed North Dakota
going for Nixon against Ken
nedy by a comfortable mar
gin. But North Dakota's cer
tain meaning is that Nixon
may be In very bad trouble
Indeed In the more closely bal
anced mid-Western states.
If Kennedy is nominated,
the choice of Humphrey for
the Vice Presidency will maxi
mize the Republican difficul
ty In the farm stales of the
mid-West. It will also maxi
mize Kennedy's own difficul
ties in the South, which are

j
Alsop
already considerable. None
theless, Kennedy may very
easily be tempted to try for
victory by carrying the large
Northern industrial stales and
the mid-Western farm states,
without worrying too much
about the South.
It can be said on good au
thority that Vice President
Nixon, who expects Kennedy
to be nominated, also expects
Kennedy to follow the exact
strategy above-outlined. It can
further be said that Nixon
and those around him have
rejected proposals for going
all out to gain enough Nor
thern Negro votes to compen
sate for the Catholics who
will choose Kennedy. In order
to go all out, Nixon would vir
tually have to advocate a
"'force bill," and Nixon does
not believe in force bills.
HAVING decided against ad
vocating a force bill, Nix
on hoped to make important
Republican gains in the South.
This is the strong argument
for giving the Republican
Vice Presidential nomination
to the Kcntuckian, Sen. Thrus
ton Morton. If Kennedy is
nominated and chooses Hum
phrey as his running mate,
the betting will be heavy that
Nixon wiU pick Morton In-

West. But if the Democrats

possible nominee, ben. Lyn

will be just the other way
around. Such is American
politics.
