Wilderness iebated in Senate Committee Bill De Gaulle Sees Early End of Algeria Conflict Paris-UIPD-President Charles dc Gaulle today held out hope for an early end to France's six-year-old war in Algeria following his talks with Tu nisian President Habib Bour guiba. French sources said de Gaulle already has conceded the principle of direct talks with the Algerian Moslem rebels and will agree to Al gerian independence, provided the rights of the 1.2 million European settlers are safe guarded and the Algerians choose this course freely. The communique at the con clusion of Monday night's talks was cautiously worded, but it did express optimism that the war could be brought to an early end. ' It said loth leaders agreed "on the possibilities and the hope that exist now of a posi tive and swift evolution" in the Algerian situation, which ties up 460,000 of France's troops. . Behind this cryptic word ing, informed sources saw a tlrong hint that the long awaited French talks with the rebels would begin soon. It was known that Bour gUiba, who openly favors the rebel provisional government of Ferhat Abbas and provides It aid and a headquarters, came here to urge de Gaulle to begin peace talks without delay, and to bring them to as rapid a conclusion as pos sible. There seemed little doubt that de Gaulle agreed to this, despite the official secrecy surrounding the discussions at de Gaulle's country residence at Rambouillct, 30 miles from Paris. set.;.. . 1 is. i JW '-.?J''t . 4&uiMlkmwm AMBASSADOR GREETED British Prime Minister Harold Macmlllan, left, greets Avercll Harriman, President Ken nedy's ambassador-al-large, as he arrives at Admiralty House to attend a dinner, Harriman landed in London Sunday for a tour of European capitals.

Bill Salade leetiray Insurance (ft TTT A 48 Hawthorne Phone SP 3-7325 "Insurance is Security" yourm InsurvJjl AGENT "iiiviitooAuii" Udall, Freeman Support Measure; Lumber Opposed Washington (UPI) A pro posed bill to establish a na tional wilderness preservation system was debated pro and con Monday in hearings be fore the Senate Interior com mittee. The bill, sponsored by Com mittee Chairman Sen. Clinton M. Anderson (D-N.M.), is sup ported by Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall and Agri culture Secretary Orville L. Freeman. Similar Bill in House Rep. John F. Baldwin (R Calif.), who testified on be half of the bill Monday, has introduced a similar bill in the House. Also appearing on behalf of the bill were repre sentatives of the American Farm Bureau, the National Wildlife Federation, the Izank Walton League of America, and the Mountaineers of Se attle. Representatives of the lum bering and mining industries expressed opposition to the bill. An official of the Fed eral Power Commission also appeared to ask that the bill be amended to assure that the commission's powers would not be limited under terms of the bill. Baldwin told the committee that "we owe to future gen erations" the preservation of wilderness are.js in national parks, national forests and elsewhere. Cites Population Growth "As you know, the state of California has had the great est total increase in popula tion during the past 10 years of any state in this country," Baldwin said. "At the same time, we have in the Sierra Nevada some of the most beautiful wilderness areas in our nation. We are anxious to preserve these areas in their present natural form." Baldwin said he 1 did not want to see wilderness areas "cut up by mining roads, tim ber access roads, and other evidences of commercial civili zation." Lumber industry represen tatives who opposed the bill included A. B. Hood, presi dent of the National Lumber Manufacturing association and general manager of the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Co., Ander son, Calif., and'W. E. Hagen stein, of the Industrial For estry association, Portland. They protested the "lock ing up" of natural resources through what they termed a "blanket wilderness system." Praises Forest Service Hood said his organization was in favor of the present system and that lumbermen had "full confidence" in the U.S. Forest Service. "Our industry does not op pose, but indeed supports, the establishment of appropriate reasonably defined areas of outstanding wilderness attrac tion as wilderness areas," Hood said in a prepared state ment. "But we do strongly oppose the blanket inclusion of vast areas into a wilderness system without carefully determin ing beforehand which areas may be better suited for other resource uses when consider ed in the light of the future needs of our nation." The mining industry was represented by W. Howard Gray, Reno, Russell Chad- wick, Spokane, Wash., and James P. Keane, Wallace, Idaho. A principal objection raised by the mining representatives was that the proposed bill would prevent prospecting In the wilderness areas. Chairman Anderson pointed out to both the lumbering and mining groups that the . bill contains a section allowing the President to make ex ceptions "in the public interest."
