grazing 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.

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

plaint in Jackson county cir

payments for the defendant's

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

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

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-
