o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON THURSDAY. DECEMBER 8. i960 RANGE CONSERVATION -'" .THE - :. ; TSAH aOMA - t UNITED STATES POSTAGE I Range Conservation Stamn To Be Issued In Utah on Feb. 2 The first range conservation commemorative postage stamp in the world will be issued by the post office department .Feb. 2 at Salt Lake City Utah, the Medford office of ihe bureau of land manage ment, department of the lnte rior. has announced. .': The new 4-cent stamp, print- led in three colors, will be re leased at the annual meeting of the American Society of "R a n e e Management. The tange conservation stamp is lointlv sponsored by the bu reau of land management and bureau of Indian affairs, U.S Department of the interior; the sou conservation service ana forest service, U.S. department of agriculture; and the post office department. - The new stamp, designed by Rudolph Wendelin of the department of agriculture, dra matizes the development of jange conservation from pio neer days on the open range to the highly scientific man agement techniques of today. Divided Into Parts . The design is divided Into two parts, the left half fea turing a reproduction of "The Trail Boss," a line drawing by the famous western artist, Charles M. Russell, printed In black. The other half por trays a contemporary western range scene printed In yellow and blue. A tear line through the center separates the two scenes. As the new postage stamp points out, range conservation and management have come a long way since the first Spanish vaqueros trailed their cattle from old Mexico Into Svhat is now western United States. Excluding forest and .woodland there are over 500 million acres of range lands in the Wost-oiie-fourth of the tolal land area of the nation Only in relatively recent -years has grazing on public range lands in the west been Tegultled. In 1934 Congress passed (he Taylor Grazing net. It provided for the pro jection, development, and im--provement of unreserved pub Jic range lands under the de apartment of the interior by -preventing overgrazing and .soil deterioration, and by sta bilization of the livestock in dustry dependent upon the "lands. The first public grazing dis tricts were established in 1935. There are now 59 dis tricts with a gross area of about 159 million acres under the administration of the de partment's bureau of land management. In addition to regulating the numbers of livestock and seasons of use on public range lands, BLM constructs thou sands of range improvements, such as wells and watering ponds, detention dams, fences, access roads, and others. Every year thousands of acres are treated by mechanical meth ods and aerial spraying to control brush and then seeded with the most productive grasses. The American Society of Range Management is a pro fessional organization of range technicians, range managers, and livestock operators. The Society has a membership of more than 3,000. The initial printing of the range conservation common live postage stamp will be 120 million. After the first day release observances in Salt Lake City Feb. 2, the stamp will go on sale at all post offices. Faculty Members Conduct Conference Ashland-Miss Marion Ady, chairman of the Southern Oregon college art depart ment, and Dr. Clarence E.

Dr. Dlebel, who has direct ed the National Science Foun dation Traveling Science Teachers Program for the Northwest region for the past two years, presented "Indi vidual Projects in Science" as his topic. "Elementary Art Education Problems" was the subject of Miss Ady's lecture, and in cluded a number of actual problems encountered In SOC classes In elementary art education. Official Registry Of Administration Jobs Out of Print Washington - (CQ) - Con gress quietly put out of print this year the only publication which gives the name, home state and salary of all the top personnel in the three branch es of government - a docu ment that would have been of special interest with the changing of administrations. Although most of the infor mation in this publication -called the Official Register of the United States - might be found with digging, in other sources, it provided the most convenient channel for deter mining just who were the top echelon appointees in the ad ministration. The book was used by the executive agencies-for which it was ostensibly printed-and by congressional offices. The head of the Civil Service com mission once said it was "probably the only thing that Congress had that could let them put the finger on the people in the executive branch who are charged with the re sponsibility of coming before Congress." Perhaps even more impor tant was the use made of the Official Register by private organizations, especially news papers, who found it an index to patronage since it listed the person's home state and congressional district, as well as his salary. The extent of patronage pos sibilities In the federal gov ernment Is illustrated by one of the major tasks now facing President -designate John F. Kennedy. Kennedy has about 1,800 top non-civil service po sitions he can fill with new personnel if he chooses to do so - Including White House staff members, about 80 cab inet secretaries and their im mediate assistants, 400-500 di vision chiefs and commission members, and about 1,200 ad ministrative assistants and similar officials. All the peo ple that hold these jobs are listed In the Official Register. A Congressional Quarterly spot check of various offices on Capitol Hill revealed that about half of those contacted considered the Official Regis ter the most convenient .way of finding the name of the person in a particular job. An official of the Civil Serv ice commission which com piled the Register - an 850 page book - told CQ that usu ally they printed between 7,- 000 and 10,000 copies, at least 5,000 of which were distrib uted to the various federal agencies, The Official Register was created by the 74th Congress In 1935. The enabling legisla tion required the U. S. Civil Service commission to print yearly a publication contain ing a complete lists of all persons holding administra tive and supervisory positions In the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the government where their sal- ries were paid by the treas ury. The law stipulated that the Register must show the person's name, official title, salary, legal residence and place of employment. The various agencies and the judiciary and legislative branches were required to submit lists of their personnel as of May 1 of each year to the commission. The law au thorized funds for printing, but none for the time of per sonnel required to compile the manuscript. The first indication that the Official Register was headed for the graveyard developed when a House appropriations subcommittee early this year held hearings on the inde pendent offices appropriations bill for fiscal 19G1 - which included funds for the Civil Service commission. Rep. Albert Thomas (D-Tex- as), the subcommittee's chair man, asked Civil Service com mission chairman Roger W. Jones just how important it was to spend $30,000 a year to publish the Official Regis ter. Jones replied: "It is not important, in our judgment." Thomas subsequently brought out that the $30,000 paid only for printing and that in addition it cost the commission about three man years to compile and print the Register. Added to this was the cost to the agencies for tabulating the lists which they reported to the commission. Thomas' subcommittee end ed its consideration of the Official Register by writing a clause into the new inde pendent offices appropriation bill which said: "No part of the appropriations herein made to the Civil Service commission shall be available for printing the Official Reg ister: and the act authorizing its publication 'is hereby re pealed'." During hearings by the Sen ate appropriations subcommit tee, which accepted entirely the House provision, Jones de scribed the Official Register as a list of all persons "occupy ing so-called executive jobs". He added, however, that it was almost Impossible to print such a book because of t h e number of names which should be included. He said it was out of date before it was printed and that "It du plicates in a very large part, except for the salary, state of origin, congressional districts, the information that is avail able in other publications, such as the Government (Or ganization) Manual and the Congressional Directory." Jones, however, did accred it some value to the Register ment he had made before a congressional committee in 1950 in which he had describ ed the Register as "probably the only thing that Congress had that could let them put the finger on the people in the executive branch who are charged with the responsibili ty of coming before Con gress." Following are several ex amples of information that is contained in the Official Register for 1959: Dwight D. Eisenhower, President, Penn., $100,000 annual salary; James C. Hagerty, press secretary to when he referred to a state- the President, N. Y., 21st dis trict, $21,000; J. George Stew art, architect of the Capitol, Fla., 6th district, $19,000; Dana Latham, commissioner of the Internal Revenue serv ice Calif., 16th district, $21, 000; Lee F. Bracket, supervis or fishery management and law enforcement officer of the international fishery treaty enforcement office of the In terior department, Maine, 1st district, $8,990; Hayden B. Clements, administrative offi cer of the bureau of veterans' reemployment rights of tho Labor department, Tenn., 5th district, 39,890; Waiter C. Hand, budget officer of the Federal National Mortgage as sociation, Ala., 9th district, $11,330. m Hi Hi- st r- Hiiuw Mvr- i mi vv .if r 'K tu. . 7h Jm,- S4i ! ;t,-Ml i 1 Make her Christmas the ' j $ Jk1 ill- " VlPS5' f merriest "ever" with quol- jjfi Uf I l'"""'1" "W ft fl .Jf it? gifts from W.A.'s giant C-.: I V I I (C ,J fj -Jf selection!
