A debate on the wilderness
area bill Friday night In the
Red Cross building covered
viewpoints of the lumber In
dustry, the Izaak Walton
league and of the naturalist
and scientist. .
The debate was originally
scheduled for a joint meeting
of the league and the Siskiyou
chapter of the Society of
American Foresters. However,
comparatively v few league
members attended.
Dr. Frank Sturgess, biology
instructor at Southern Ore
gon college, ; presented new
reasons tor preservation of
wilderness areas. Natural
areas are needed to study an
imal and insect life, plant dis
ease problems and the natural
balance of wildlife, he argued.
Naturalist's Viewpoint
Approaching the problem
from the naturalists view
point, Dr. Sturgess emphasiz
ed "recreation - a rekindling
of the human spirits."
.. People can gain from
quality of experience provid
ed by wilderness areas. They
must be preserved in their
complete natural state, he em
phasized. The rumble of log
ging tractors in a wooded area
does not provide a quality of
experience to the man -who
wants to get away from the
pressure of population num-

bers and study nature, Dr.
Sturgess argued.
' "Why do certain animals
live where they do? How does
the regeneration of pocket
gophers affect forest trees?
How can Oregon Junko birds
be stopped from eating pounds
of . Douglas fir, seed? What
happens when trees cover
grass land formerly inhabited
by voracious meadow mice?
"These are all questions
which can only be studied in
wilderness areas. : and they
may be vital to the forest in.
dustry," the professor pointed
out..
Scenic Values'
Considerable emphasis . is
given scenic values of wilder
ness areas, but such areas are
even more vital .to scientific
research, and should be set
aside with that purpose in
mind, the SOC professor
urged.
Calvin Smith, local forester
with' the Industrial Forestry
association, explained that the
forest industry does not ob
ject to the philosophy1 of the
wilderness area concept, but
does oppose Senate Bill 174-
the wilderness bill.
bucn areas would cover
100,000 acres or more with
boundaries established by the
secretary of agriculture. Wild
areas would cover from 5,000
to 100,000 acres with boundar
ies established by the chief
of the U.S. forest service,
Primitive areas would be set
aside for future study, and
would cover' about 8 million
acres.
In Wilderness System
This land would come un
der the wilderness system im
mediately if the bill is passed,
Smith explained.' Fifteen
years would be allowed to
make boundary changes. The
President could recommend
boundary alterations to - the
Congress. If the Congress does
not act, the original wilder
ness boundaries are automat
ically set. r
Smith also criticized the
"vague language" tf the bill,
rne mh provides that any
private land within thhe
boundaries of the wilderness
system could be acquired
iwuaerness area means no
landing of aircraft, no motor
boats, no cars, no mechanized
equipment of any kind, no
grazing, no mining or pros
pecting. Some amendments
have been made to the original
bill, but these do not change
it mucn, the forester added.
Both Smith and Glen Duy-
sen, of Kogap Industries, urg
ed that further consideration
of the bill await the report of
tne National outdoor Recrea
tion Resources Research com
mittee. The report from this
committee headed by Law
rence Rockefeller is due next
spring, Duysen pointed out.
Congress has allocated $214
million to the University of
California for study of the ef
fect of wilderness area. To
push the bill through before
the report would be a misuse
of tax money, Smith said.
Supporters on Committee
Duysen pointed out-, that
many wilderness bill support
ers are on the committee. This
Includes Sen. Clinton B. An
derson (D-N.M.), author of the
bill and a representative of
the Izaak Walton league, he
said.
The commission report pro
vides for an Inventory of the
commercial . timber within
proposed wilderness areas,
Duysen said. It is estimated
32 per cent of the proposed
wilderness areas contain com
mercial timber lands., This
would cover an estimated 04
billion board feet of lumber
or the equivalent of 14,500,000
hours of employment.
Henry DeVoss, Ixaak Wal-
ton league member, said it is
difficult to compare an atti
tude of people who use wil
derness areas with board feet
and houses constructed from
lumber.
Establishment of wilderness
areas implies control of the
lumber industry and people
naturally resist controls, he
said. ; Since Theodore Roose
velt created his conservation
program, the lumber indus
try has protested that there is
no need for wilderness areas,
DeVoss argued.
Calvin Smith Speaks

ciation, talked on the devel
opment of forest management

2030 club recently. . .
