Newspaper Page Textgrazing Fees 50 Per Cent Hike On Public Lands Under Taylor Act Washington-fllPD - Secretary of Interior Stewart U. Udall today increased by 50 per cent the fees for grazing live, stock in 10 western states on public lands administered un der the Taylor Crazing Act. Udall said this was the first significant increase in 12 years. The 1063 fee for grazing a cow one month will equal 150 per cent of the average live stock price per pound for 1962. Heretofore, the fee has been equal to the average price per pound for beef and lamb. Udall said the 50 per cent Increase will not create eco nomic hardship for any stock men. Since it now costs only about $1 per cow per grazing season on public lands, the secretary said the increase will cost only about 50 cents more per year per cow. Based on Average Price Actually, the fomula for the fee will increase the fees from 19 cents per animal unit month to 30 cents, Udall said. This is more than an in crease of 50 per cent, but under the new formula the actual increase is only 50 per cent because the fee is based on the average price per pound of livstock for the previous year. Udall said 10 cents of the new 30 cent fee will be ear marked for range improve ments, more than doubling the amount set aside for this conservation fund in past years. The fee increase applies to almost 151 million acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Manage ment in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. More than 30,000 permittees are affected. The last similar fee in creae occurred in 1051 when the monthly fee was raised from eight cents to 12 cents. The price was Ret at 15 cents in 1055, and in 1058 a tormula linking fees to livestock prices resulted in a raise to 19 cents. Spent in Counties The states receive 12.5 per cent of the amount remaining after set-asides for range im provement. Slates spend such receipts for the benefit of tho counties in which the fees are paid. Udall said that most stock men who use the federal rango affected by the increase have acknowledged that a fee in crease was to be expected. In comparison with the 19 cent rate, the Forest Service charges about 60 cents; the Bureau of Indian Affuirs charges $1.23 and up, as does the Bureau of Land Manage ment for land not covered by the Taylor Act. The private commercial rate is $3 and higher.

LAST 101 VALUES IN EVERY DEPARTMENT! 217 East Main Street Medford, Oregon USE YOUR CHARGE PLATE Compensation Fund Dwindled To $800,000 Salem-(UP!l-The surplus in Oregon's workmen's compen sation fund has dwindled from $5.9 million in 1957 to $800, 000, the Senate Labor and In dustries committee was told Thursday. Roy Green, actuary for the State Industrial Accident com mission, testified as the com mittee continued hearings on a new workmen's compensa tion law. Green said, however, the fund now seems to have start ed increasing. He said some actuaries feel the surplus should equal the amount of the insurance pre mium carried In the stale: $30 million. Orgcon's law presently sets a ceiling of $7.55 million. "Oregon has maximum cov erage at the absolutely least possible cost consistent with solvency," he said. Thorough Questioning Green underwent thorough questioning about several fea tures of the present program. Sens. Ted Hallock and Al fred Corbett, both Portland Democrats, expressed partic ular interest in the experience rating of the present program. Under the system, minor injuries can cost an employer more than worker deaths on the job, because the law sets a ceiling on the amount that can be charged against an em ployer's safety record for any one accident. Green conceded the present rates price high casualty em ployers out of the state sys tem. He said the effect was lo "enhance" the state fund by losing the coastliest accounts. Fund Trustees File Suit for Payments The trustees of the Oregon Washington Carpenters - Em ployers Health and Welfare Trust fund have filed a com plaint in Jackson county cir cuit court against the Batzcr Construction company, Med ford, seeking contribution payments for the defendant's employees. The complaint charges that Ihe defendant became obli gated to make contributions to the plaintiff Oct. 1, 1957, and that the defendant had employed employees within the coverage of a trust and collective bargaining agree ment. The complaint states that the defendant has failed to make contributions in accord ance with provision of the trust. Sought is $36.67 obli gated funds plus $500 attor ney fees. Trustees named as plaintiffs include George Hann, W. M. Pcrrault, Eric Hoffman, John M. Slcinmiller Jr., E. A. Schlcchl, Samuel E. Sprafke, Gerald Larscn and Carl Hal vorson. Deer, Elk Season Limit Proposed Salem -UP1- Rep. Ed Elder (n-Eugenc) Thursday intro duced a bill to limit the open season on deer and elk to a total of 16 days. Ho introduced the measure at the request of (he Lane county chapter of the Oregon State Fish and Game Council. Other provisions of the pro posed measure include: -The killing of deer be limited to those animals hav ing a forked horn. - Only elk with spiked horn or better could be taken. - All special seasons on both deer and elk be forbidden. -All previous existing big game preserves be restored and that the same remain closed to hunting. - No more than one deer tag he issued to any one hunter. DAY! Britain s Labor Has Confidence By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Ntws Antlyii In the members' dining room of the House of Com mons in London, Harold Wil son, a touseled man in a crumpled grey suit, put his feet up on the chair opposite and gave himself a moment of silent amusement. The conversation had been about Britain's chances for en try into the European Com mon Market, and the man who now is rated a good bet lo be Britain's next prime minister was thinking of an encounter with an old antag onist. The moment could have been one of those little side lights of history. For the man Wilson was thinking about was Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath, Britain's chief negotiator at Brussels, and himself a possi ble conservative contender for the prime minister's job ver sus Wilson, a laborite. Wilson Thursday was elected head of the British Labor party. "I was thinking," Wilson explained, "about a speech I made in Commons . . . Per haps you may have read it . . . I told Heath that about the only thing he'd gotten at Brussels so far was free entry Judy Garland Out of Hospital Carson City, Nev. fUPD Singer Judy Garland was ad mitted to Tahoe-Carson Hos pital for a few hours Thurs day for diagnosis and treat ment of a "weakness on her left side." Miss Garland. 39, who col lapsed in her dressing room at Harrah's Club on Lake Tahoe Wednesday night, was taken to the hospital Thurs day morning on a stretcher. She checked out a few hours later. A hospital spokesman said the weakness did not appear lo be the result of a stroke. He said she was in fine condition, but had been "overworked."

"If he can't do better than that, the Labor party will fight the Common Market all the way." It was early evening in Lon don and the misty chill of early December was in the air. In a hospital. Labor party leader Hugh Gaitskcll lay suffering from an illness from which, although no one knew it then, he was not to recover. This correspondent had just returned from Brussels where British difficulties in the Com mon Market negotiations al ready were apparent. I had sought out Wilson to get the Labor party view. The incident which he re called was, in a way, illustra tive of Wilson himself. Wilson is a brilliant man who at the age of 31 became president of the Board of Trade in the last Labor gov ernment, the youngest British cabinet minister in 150 years. He enjoys Commons debate and his sharp oratorical needles frequently have made his conservative opposition quiver. A sense of humor eases the irritation that arise among Wilson's opponents over his obviously complete c o n 1 i dence in his own abilities. Over coffee, Wilson's pipe, cigarettes and whisky untaint ed with ice, there emerged viewpoints which now will be parts of Labor's campaign for the next election: -The Tories (conservatives) failed to consider alternatives to the Common Market and thus lost their bargaining maneuverability. -Although general elections are not required until Oc tober, 1964, it is probable the Macmillan government will call them at least six months earlier or even much sooner. -Britain's present difficul ties are the fault of conserva tive party policies over the last 10 years. A rise in bank rates and a lid on imports brought the economy to a screeching halt, with an ac companying steady rise in un employment. -Britain's unsuccessful at- PLYMOUTH'S RELIABILITY IS BACKED BY A 5-YEAR OR 50,000-MILE WARRANTY!!
