Major Land Conservation Policy Covers Federal 0 wnership Transfers 1961 MERCURY The Car with tsrf, Black and White Proof of Value rT Mercury Meteor f MEDFORD MOTORS, Inc. 225 South Riverside Portland - Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall has announced approval of a ma jor land conservation policy to be administered by the de partment's bureau of land management. The policy state ment sets up a "Public Inter est Test" for all transfers of land out of federal ownership. According to the policy statement, lands which cannot properly be developed under existing public land laws will be retained in federal owner ship until the necessary laws can be enacted. The Depart ment will no longer continue to try to force present-dav land needs in the unworkable straight jacket of out -dated laws. Proposed legislation to meet present and future needs will be submitted to the Con gress in the near future, the Secretary said. Forbids Classifications The policy statement also bars marginal agricultural de velopments on public lands by forbidding agricultural classi fications under the land laws when the lands are more valu able for other uses or when such classifications would not be consistent with national agricultural policy. In addition, the land con servation policy statement af- tirms the department's posi tion that "the government must receive a full return for its property in terms of money or other values. No party to a transaction with the govern ment should receive a wind fall." The secretary said he had directed Director Karl S. Landstrom of the bureau of land management to set up procedures to insure the full implementation of the policy statement, including proce dures to determine that the government will in fact re ceive full value for public lands and that the "disposition or lease of public lands made pursuant to the public -land laws must meet the test of serving the public interest." The policy statement broad ens and supersedes a more limited statement on anti speculation policies Issued Feb. 8 and 23, 1960. Conservation Policies A copy of the policy state ment follows: Land conservation policies of the Department of the In terior with respect to land classifications and dispositions by the bureau of land management. 1. The government must re ceive a full return for its property in terms of money or other values. No party to a transaction with the govern ment snouid receive a wind fall. To the extent that the law permits and in the ab sence of a binding contract, fa) no transaction will be en tered into bv the bureau of land management where it Is not clearly shown by compe tent evidence that the govern ment will receive full value and (b) no transaction will be consummated where, in1 the course of processing, evidence develops that the government will not receive full value. 2. Private exchanges will not be entertained or con summated except where it is shown that there are compell ing reasons to acquire the of fered lands to augment long- range federal resource man agement programs. Leases, sales or other dispositions of public lands will not be made unless the lease or disposition will serve a sound public pur pose, including the satisfaction of bona fide needs of the gen eral economy and improving the administration of the pub lic lands. Leases, sales and other dispositions of public lands will not be made when they would encourage or pro mote speculation in public lands. 3. Public lands which are marginal for agriculture or which are more valuable for uses other than agriculture or which under national agricul ture policy would not be found proper to be reduced to culti vation will not be classified for entry tinder the public land agricultural development laws. 4. Lands which cannot properly be developed under existing public land laws, taking into consideration such things as full return for the lands, requirements of state, county and other local agencies, and the needs of the local economy will, wherever feasible, be retained in fed eral ownership, pending the enactment of appropriate leg islation. To Establish Procedures 5. The director, bureau of land management, will estab lish procedures which will in sure the full implementation of these anti-speculation poli cies. Among other things, he will institute procedures to determine, at the time times just prior to the actions whereby commitments would be made, that positive and convincing evidence exists that the government will re ceive full value from the transaction under considera tion and that discretionary ac tions leading to disposition or lease of public lands made pursuant to the public land laws will meet the te.t of terying the public Interest. MEDFORD RIBUNE SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1961 PAGES 1 to 10 Ullman Urges Stand By Udall in Snake iver Power Dispute By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.) has laid down a set of basic principles jtgC on which he ; j ihs urpen in- terior S e cre tary Stewart Udall to take a stand on the Snake river power dispute. A strong nnliKn iaSu: 4 RALiS advocate, Con Smttn gressman Ull man is taking a more active role in discussions with the Kennedy Administration over resource policy than any other member of the Oregon con gressional delegation. Ullman has not suggested whether Nez Perce dam or Mountain Sheep dam. or some other de velopment scheme, should be the project supported by the Interior Department, he said, but he has recommended that the decision rest on these principles: 1. The public interest be fully protected by the most full and comprehensive devel opment of this portion of the middle Snake river. 2. That the project be fully integrated and coordinated in its operation with the other large hydroelectric dams In the Columbia basin. 3. That there be no support for the idea of paying local utilities for any downstream benefits that might accrue in federal dams by reason of up stream storage projects. 4. That fish be adequately taken care of. Convinced of Protection Ullman said he is convinced that fish can be protected in cases where high dams are built if moncv is spent for adequate facilities, so this principle could not be Inter preted lo mean he is qpposcd to the Nez Perce dam. Ullman said Udall's slaff at the Interior Department is now studying all the ramifica tions of the Snake river prob lem. Udall Indicated at his last news conference that the Interior Department tentative ly has plans to intervene ill this case now pending al the Federal Power Commission. The case Is still in the hear ing stage before an examiner who is taking testimony here from experts called in by Pa cific Northwest Power Co. and by Washington Public Power Supply System. In mid March the hearings will move to Portland for the conven ience of those who wish to testify respecting the migra tory fish problem. Secretary Udnll hinled that he might favor federal con struction of one of the rival projects, but he declined to say what stand he will take in intervening at the FPC. If the Kennedy Administra tion docs come out for federal construction in the middle 1 Snake below Hells Canyon, an old rivalry between the two i dam building agencies could j be renewed. The two projects ! now under consideration are on either side of an informal I boundary line which the j Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers drew on a map during the Truman Administration, Nothing Radical j If this old agreement Is en-1 forced, it would mean that the j Army Engineers would have the claim to construction of Nez Perce dam because it would be built below the con fluence of the Salmon river with the Snake. The Bureau of Reclamation would have I he claim to construct Moun tain Sheep project, for it is above the mouth of the Sal mon. Congressman Ullman said there is nothing "radical" about the new power policy declaration of the Kennedy Administration. "It simply restates the pol icy as Congress intended it 1 lo be when it was enacted into law," he said. "The law has been subverted for the past eight years." Salem Firemen Demand Pay Raise Salem-IDI'II-The Salem Fire fighters Association has de manded that the city boost firemen salaries to equal those of Salem police. The firemen responded to a police pay increase last Mon day night that brings the sal ary of a patrolman at top scale to $420 a month while top firemen get $450. Police work a 40-hour week here and firemen 56 hours. But city officials said the fire men's pension fund is bigger and this is an equalizer. The firemen's petition prob ably will be filed with the City Council Feb. 27. Legislative Briefs Salem-iUPli-Scn. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Portland) put in a bill Thursday that would re quire bars in bowling alleys and oilier athletic establish ments to have separate en trances. He said this would further protect minors, many of whom frequent bowling al leys. Mahoney also introduced a bill providing collective bar gaining for county employees. Salem - IUPII - A bill intro duced Thursday in the Oregon Senate would prohibit any di version of Milton creek wa ters in Columbia county for any use. The measure, SB442, was requested by the City of SI. Helens and put in by Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, (D-Port-land). The bill would not prevent condemnation of land for such things as parks. Salcm-iiro-Cerlain families with heavy medical expenses could have their bills paid for by stale welfare under a bill in the Senate Thursday. This would apply to those not already on welfare. Sen, Carl Francis (R-Dayton) is tha sponsor. The State Welfare Commis sion would get $500,000 to start the program and another $100,000 would be established as a revolving "catastrophic illness and injury fund" un der the secretary of state. Families would pay tha money back when they got on their feet financially. Salem-IUPIi-A bill lo bring state boating regulations morn into conformity with Coast Guard small boat rules has been approved by the House Fish and Game Committee. The committee amended the bill to add greater protection from damage charges for boat ers pulling water skiers. Salem-iUPH-A bill authoriz ing the Department of Geol ogy's governing board to hold hearings and grant applica tions for oil and gas well drill ing was introduced Thursday in the House. It was requested by the de partment. Another bill would author ize the public utility commis sioner to issue standards for setting rates on different types of motor carriers.
