National Forests Said Far Below Fish, Wildlife-Carrying Capacity Forest Visits By Sportsmen Nearly Tripled Washington-OJPD-Behind the Forest service's recent propo sal for a 10-15 year, $25.6 mil lion plan to improve hunting and fishing in national forests is the fact that these wood lands today are far below their fish and wildlife-carrying capacity. The Forest service, a unit of the Agriculture department, manages national, forests and national grasslands in 41 states and Puerto Rico, Hunting and fishing on these lands has been booming in recent years. Forest visits by . sportsmen have nearly tripled since 1950, the Forest service reported after count ing 20.1 million sportsman visits in 1960. Not Kept Pace But improvement of the for ests and their lakes and streams as a home for fish and wildlife ' has not kept pace with the growth of interest in hunting and fishing, accord ing to Forest service officials. "Much of the essential big game winter range in the na tional forest system needs im provement,'' service experts said in a summary of their proposed ' wildlife improve ment program. '.''"On some ranges, forage plants are diminished 'to the point where both the game herds and the land they, used are adversely affected. In oth er places, deer and elk .are damaging young trees needed for future timber crops." Co-ordinated Pollci.i - The situation - in fishing areas is hot much better. ' v "Many miles of national forest streams are not at their potential fish production ca pacity. Intensive land use in some areas has resulted in heavy stream siltation, unsta ble channels, and exposed and eroding banks. Improved fish ing conditions will come about only through fully co ordinated land management practices," a report added.. The forest service proposal is based on improving wild life habitat. The long-range plan, subject to congressional approval and financing as part of the overall forest im provement plan called "Oper ation Outdoors" would 'call for: Planting of shrubs and grasses to give food and cover on 1.5 million acres pf game range. L Development of .wildlife openings, food patches and game ways In dense, vegeta tion by clearing or controlled burning on 400,000 acres. " Stabilizing banks, plant ing streamstde cover crops, and improved channels on 7, 000 miles of fishing streams and 56,000 acres of lakes. Would Finance Dams In addition, states would be asked to cooperate by financ ing construction of small dams, where necessary, and the forest service would pro pose a $3 million-a-year coop erative program of wildlife inventories. The service- said one-third of all big game animals in the United States live all or part time in the national forests. This includes four fifths of the' moose,, elk and grizzly bears, and nearly two-thirds of the mule deer, black bear, and bighorn sheep. Durno, Norblad Hit for Vote on Minimum Wage Beavcrton - IUPII - Oregon Democratic Chairman Robert W. Straub said Monday Ore gon's two Republican con gressmen killed President Kennedy's proposal to raise the minimum wage from $1 to $1.25 an hour. ' Ho strongly criticized Reps. W..lter Norblad and Edwin Durno, who voted against the plan. "As a direct result of these two Oregon Republican votes, the proposal lost by a vote of 186-185," Straub said. Durno and Norblad voted for a new minimum wage of $1.15 per hour. Modest Bait Pay ; Addressing W a s h I n gton county Democrats, Straub said the Kennedy bill woud have guaranteed nearly four million workers a "modest .weekly base pay of $50, but 'this wage is apparently too txrcsslve for Oregon's two Republican congressmen.". "This is another consistent example in the unfolding pat tern of Durno'J record - a record which the people of the Fourth District will want to watch carefully-and of the continuing disregard Norblad gives to the plight of the low income wage earner," Straub said. Resolution Passed for Pollution Laboratory ... Salem- tUPD -The Oregon House Monday passed a Sen ate approved memorial urg ing Congress to establish a Pacific Northwest pollution control laboratory. '- Aim is to have such a lab oratory established in connec tion with Oregon State Col lege at Corvallis, making use of some of the college's ex isting facilities.

The report concludes that with the major trend of stock prices upward, and likely to continue so for a further per iod, "we suggest continuing investment of reserves as fa vorable opportunities make their appearance." Joseph E. Granville of E. F. Hutton & Co. says a further retreat leading to a test of the recent reaction lows ap pears to be the next step for the stock market. The analyst warns that the market is now only about three weeks from the time that capital gains frofits will begin to be taken and some anticipation of this by the market already seems to be in evidence. Martin Gilber of Van Al styne Noel & Co, says there is no change in the technical picture of the market and the chart pattern suggests a re sumption of an optimistic price atmosphere soon. He says the smaller volume of transactions last Friday sug gests that selling was negli gible compared to the aggres sive buying of stocks previous- Thomas L.
