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.

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.
