Programs
Director
"We should coordinate our
programs of land manage
ment so that whatever we do
with one piece of land, pri
vate, state or federal, will in
fluence the use and develop
ment of nearby or adjacent
, lands," Edward Woozlcy, di
rector of the bureau of land
management, told members of
. the Oregon Cattlemen's associ
ation Friday morning.
The things the government
does with federal range lands
has an Important Influence on
private ranch operations in
the area, and. things the pri
vate rancher ' does often ma
terially affects programs on
nearby or adjacent federal
lands, the BLM director ex
plained to the cattlemen In
the Medford High school audi
torium, "This does not mean that a
land owner cannot operate
his own land as he wishes;
but I feel confident with
proper understanding, infor
mation and education, private
land owners and public land
managers can come up with
practical, cooperative long
range programs," Woozley ex
plained. ;
Programs Are Noted
He noted that the BLM pro
grams stretch over more than
477 million acres of land from
Point Barrow, Alaska, the
northernmost part of the Uni
ted States, to oil drilling 30
. miles off the Louisiana coast
t water depths now ap
proaching 600 feet.
Some of BLM's Important
responsibilities are cadastral
surveys and the accompany
ing public land records, on
which are detailed the use and
ownership of nearly 1.8 bil
lion acres of the public do
main. BLM is using the most ad
vanced modern techniques, in
cluding helicopters, two-way
radios, photogrammetry, mo
bile camps, and electrical dis
tance measuring devices,
Woozlcy said.
' Administers Laws
' "BLM administers the Im
portant body of the nation's
public land laws, whose very
names are closely associated
with exploration, settlement,
and development of ntuch of
America - homesteadlng, des
ert land entries, small tracts,
land grants, withdrawals and
reservations for national for
ests, national parks, wildlife
refuges and reclamation proj
ects," Woozley noted.
"In addition, BLM handles
the disposition of public do
main lands for public recre
ation and exchanges of land
to bring about more effective
patterns of public and private
land ownership.
BLM handles mineral leas
ing on federally owned lands
including those administered
by other federal agencies and

Annual Boy Scout
Meeting Slated
In Medford Today
Election of officers of the
Crater Lake Council, Boy
Scouts of America, will be one
of the highlights of the 38th
annual meeting of the three-
county Boy Scout council, Dr.
Elmo N. Stevenson, council
president, announced Saturday.
- The meeting will start at 4
o'clock this afternoon at the
Rogue Valley Country club,
with a recognition dinner
scheduled at 6 o'clock.
Officers to be nominated
by the nominating committee
at the business meeting In
clude N. H. Gladfelter, presi
dent; Carroll W. Smith, Frank
C, Bash, Floyd L. Somers, and
Leonard B. Mayfield, v i ce
president; Allen F. Perry,
treasurer; and J. A. McDou
gall, Scout commissioner.
Theme for Meeting
The theme for the meeting
will be "Strengthen America
Character Counts," and Dr.
Mayfield, Medford superin
tendent of schools, will ad
dress an estimated 200 per
sons.
Climax of the annual recog
nition dinner will be the pre
sentation of two Silver Beav
er awards for distinguished
service to boyhood in the
Crater Lake Council. Names
of the recipients are secret
until presentation, Bash,
chairman of the Silver Beaver
award committee, said.
Voting members of the Cra
ter Lake Council are the 107
institutional representatives,
who are selected by the or
ganizations which are char
tered to use the Scouting pro
gram, and about 65, council
mcmbers-at-large. There are
about 4,300 boys registered
In Scouting and more than
1,500 adults In Jackson, Jose
phine, and Siskiyou counties,
according to Dr. Stevenson,
continental shelf, the director
pointed out. At the end of the
last fiscal year, nearly 147,000
leases were in effect covering
about 121 million acres.
Forestry Program
BLM is also responsible for
a forestry program on 2'A mil
lion acres of former Oregon
and California Railroad grant
lands in Oregon and on some
44 million acres of com
mercial forest lands in other
states.
Woozley traced the history
of the BLM range manage
ment program from enact
ment of the Taylor Grazing
Act in 1934.
"It is not our intention to
take one head of livestock off
any federal range unless it is
necessary for the benefit of
the land and is clearly requir
ed by provisions of the Taylor
Grazing act and the federal
range code," the BLM director
emphasized.
Temporary Licenses
However, when the early
advisory boards set up the
first figures on which the an
nual permits were issued,
many people were given temp
orary licenses for more live
stock than they actually
grazed on federal lands or on
their own base properties
(own ranches) during the
months the livestock were not
on the federal range," he
pointed out.
The toughest, ana more
controversial part of BLM s
range management responsi
bility is the adjudication of

Hillsboro-IUPD-Two Beaver
ton area teen-age boys were

nection with $3,550 robbery
of a Portland area grocery
store.
The youths were Identified
as Teddy L. Tilley, 10, and
William D. Maltese, 18.
They were suspects in the

grazing privileges," Woozlcy
said.
"BLM must determine (1)
the qualifications of base
ranch properties, (2) previous
or prior use by the applicant
during the base period, along
with season of use, and (3)
the bureau must make an
equitable distribution of avail
able forage among qualified
applicants," Woozley said.
Property Surveys
To carry out the first part
of this job, BLM makes de
pendent property surveys. It
also makes range surveys, ad
justments in numbers of live
stock using the range, and
works on Improving the range
uirougn brush eradication and
rcseeding.
The Oregon range inventory
shows the need to control un
desirable and low value brush
plants on approximately 3
million acres, the seeding of
1.6 million acres, construction
of 5,970 miles of .fencing, de
velopment of 3,650 water
sources for livestock and
wildlife and construction of
6,725 small erosion control
checks and dams.
These are but a few of the
20 conservation measures
needed for rebuilding Oregon
rangcland, the BLM director
said.
Impressed With Interest
"I am particularly impress
ed with the interest the stock
men of Oregon have shown in
investing their own funds in
BLM conservation projects,"
the director said. "It is esti
mated that during the current
year, range users' contribu
tions to BLM projects will
exceed $88,000."
In August, Congress ap
propriated $1,425,000 to re
habilitate and restore lands
burned over this past sum
mer. Oregon was allocated
$518,000. More than 45,000
acres will be seeded with
range forage species including
grasses and browse. About
25,000 seedling trees will be
planted on lands adapted to
reforei tation, the director
said.
"Undoubtedly need for use
of public land for recreation
purposes Is going to increase
rapidly In the future," Wooz
ley said.
"This increased need cre
ates many problems. Only
satisfactory solution is a co
operative approach by sports
men, stale and county
agencies, the stockman, land
owner and federal agencies,"
he added.

Cattlemen's Resolutions
Cover Variety of Subjects
The stale's cattlemen end
ed their convention here Sat
urday by passing 41 resolu
tions which covered, general
ly, grazing on public lands,
taxation, brand inspection and
cattle theft prevention, beef
grading, cattle health, freight
rates and livestock imports.
Some of the main resolu
tions passed were:
-The Oregon Cattlemen's
association, American Nation
al Cattlemen's association and
congressional d e 1 e g a 1 1 on
should take aggressive action
to restrict livestock Imports.
-A long range master plan
for development of ranges,
water sheds and game habi
tats should be initiated and
accelerated and be financed
by a greater share of the re
ceipts from public resource
product sales. Present users
of permits should receive first
con sideration in Increased
grazing permits.
Urges Proposal Approval
The OCA urges the Trans
continental Freight Bureau
approve the proposal to re
duce all transcontinental
freight rates by 15 per cent
and an increase of 10 per cent
on carload weights to help
restore the competitive rela
tionship between fresh meats
and livestock.
-The OCA favors a nation
al labelling act on shoes to
protect the purchaser.
-The OCA favors the
change of ownership brand in
spection on all transactions.
-The OCA urges the Ore
gon game commission study
the problem of property dam
age, loss of livestock and
waste of game during hunting
season and develop a program
and changes in legislation to
alleviate the situation.
Multiple Use Principle
-The OCA favors multiple
use principle on bureau of
land management lands and
considers it essential that all
interested persons contribute
to and assist in the responsi
bilities involved.
-The OCA opposes any
change in the state basic
school distribution formula
that unfairly discriminates
against sparsely populated
areas where per pupil cost is
"necessarily high." It opposes,
also, any legislation proposing
a "state mandated property
tax" for support of the state
basic school fund. Any distri
bution formula developed by
the state legislature should
place more weight on per cap
ita income values.
The OCA seeks legislation
setting up ''productive capaci
ty" as the basis for assessing
ranch lands rather than "true
cash values."
Assessed on Basis
-City and ranch homes
should not be assessed on the
same basis. Consideration
should be given to location,
accessibility and resale value.
-The OCA disease commit
tee will call a meeting in
southern Oregon and request
United States department of
Agriculture and the Oregon
state department of agricul
ture personnel, representa
tives of affected county asso
ciations and regulatory offi
cials of the state of California
be invited to discuss the sit
uation brought about by
health certificate require
ments.
Automated Financing
-Provisions should be set
un for automatic financing for
reseeding burned areas simi
lar to present deficit financ
ing practices for fire suppres
sion activities on U. S. For
est Service and BLM lands.
-Congress should Invest
