6 C THURSDAY. MARCH 21, 19S3 MEOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Bill to Create National Park In Cascades Being Circulated By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune ' Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - A proposed bill to create a 1,-308,186-acre national park in tne worm i;as i cades moun tains that would be the I fourth largest park in the country is being circulat- ) ed among con- , servation i s t s I and Northwest smith mem Ders oi Congress. The draft bill was prepared by leaders of a be' attle-based organization which claims that Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall sug gested they prepare legisla tion for introduction in Con gress. The bill has not yet been Introduced in Congress. The . Interior department last week announced that a live -man team has been designated to study the area from Mount Rainier National park to the Canadian border to evaluate its potential for park or other outdoor recreation purposes, as well as its commercial values. The bill in circulation marked confidential, would create a North Cascades Na tional Park that would ex tend roughly from Stevens Pass on the south to Ross dam on the Skagit river to the north, and extending down the west and east slopes of the Cascades, in Washington state. Together with the existing North Cascades Primitive area north of the proposed park, it would in effect set aside for scenic and recrea tion purposes exclusively all of the Cascades forests north of Stevens Pass, which is due east of Seattle. The straight mile length of the Cascades from Stevens Pass to the bor der is some 75 miles. The park is being promoted by Patrick O. Goldsworthy, Seattle, president of North Cascades Conservation Coun cil, and J. Michael McClos key, Eugene. Northwest Con servation Represe n t a t i v e, Federation of Outdoor clubs. A prospectus edited by Mc Closkey notes that the park would be carved from four national forests-590,214 acres from Mt. Baker, 16,595 acres from Snoqualmie, 643,429 acres from Wenatchee and 57,948 acres from Okanagon national forests, Thus 606,809 acres would be on the west slope of the Cascades and $701,377 acres on the east slope. This area embraces the existing Glacier Peak Wilder ness Area, which itself amounts to 458,505 aores. The plan involves dividing the park so that 21 per cent of the area, a 289,521 acre strip along the eastern side, would be designated the Che lan National Mountain Recre ation Area and remain open to game hunting. No hunting would be allowed elsewhere in the park, but fishing would be permitted throughout the park. Boating would continue on Chelan Lake, whose north ern portion would He within the park. The Seattle conservationists who are pushing for the park have tried to get a morator ium on logging throughout this vast area. They argue that until the issue of creating the park has been resolved one way or another, the Forest Service should stop selling any timber where culling might Impair scenic values. More Timber When the group took the moratorium idea to members of Congress, they got mixed reactions. With the lumber industry campaigning to get more timber from the national forests, the conserva Hon group could get only one con gressman, Rep. Thomas M. Pelly (R-Seattlo) to suDoort their Idea for a ban on tim ber sales. Rep. Jack Westland (R. cvereiw came out Just as strongly against bannins ins. ging. Sens. Warren G. Mag nuson and Henry M. Jackson avoided direct involvement in this dispute. Con gressman Pelly's re quest to Agriculture Secretary Plagiarism Suit Ends Out of Court Los Angeles -IUPD- A $1.5 million plagiarism suit over the theme song for the movie "Around The World In 80 Days," was settled Wednesduy out of court for an undisclosed amount. Leo Mantln, former vau devllllan, charged In the suit against United Artists and the Michael Todd Co. that he had submitted composition in 1955 entitled "Around The World In 90 Minutes." He claimed this was used in the motion picture without com pensation. The title song In the highly successful movie was com posed by the late Victor Young. He won an academy award for scoring the film. Orville Freeman for a mora torium was denied. Westland's antagonism toward the pro posal of the park enthusiasts could become a substantial factor if Congress should ser iously consider a North Cas cades park bill, for much of the park area would be in his congressional district and he Is on the House Interior com mittee which handles such legislation. This proposed park pro posal is not only 50 per cent larger than Olympic National park, which is the largest park in the Northwest, but It would be larger than all other national parks except Yellowstone, Mt. McKinley and Everglades national parks. Despite the local enthusi asm, backed by the Sierra club, for North Cascades, it apperently is not included in the National Park Service's priority listings of possible new park areas. A White House. Conference on Conservation held last May concluded with a report called "New Parks for the Nation." The report mention ed "26 nationally-significant areas (which) represent pro posals that have been thor oughly considered by the Park- Service and which for various reasons show excel lent promise of receiving pub lic support." The only Pacific Northwest area listed in this report was Oregon Dunes, which Udall visited last Wednesday and hopes to persuade Congress this year to add to the park system as a national seashore. San Jose Youths Confess Crimes San Jose, Calif. -flJPD- A 13-year-old San Jose boy and his brother, 11, readily admitted to police Wednesday that they looted four San Jose schools, filched money from a church poorbox on six occasions, committed thefts in several stores and touched off a $130, 000 fire. Juvenile officers said the boys claimed they were in spired by a television show which depicted a gang of youthful thieves at work. Po lice said the youngsters ap plied a lot of the techniques used by the television gang. Helzer Tells Local Club of Pessimism Around Country J. Henry Helzer of J. Henry Helzer and company, invest ment counsellors, spoke to the Kiwanis club of Medford at its regular noon meeting Wednesday. "There is a great deal of pessimism floating around the country now," Helzer said. As factors he pointed to the Steel Strike, Cuba, a Securities Ex change Commission report now being prepared on the stock, exchange, the car bus iness and unemployment. "All these factors are true," he pointed out, "but no dif ferent than any other winter." It is more important to con sider the positive factors, Hel zer pointed out, and cited the current pick up in steel or ders, possible record peace time profits for the first quar ter of 1963, expected increase in corporate profits to all-time high, rise in farm output to all-time high, continuing in crease in auto sales, consumer purchases of household appli ances and the featherbedding decision of the Supreme Court. . Comment on Administration Commenting on the present administration, : Helzer said, "I believe that, if this admin istration went to election on its present record, they would be badly defeated." ' . "You don't see this in news papers, because it is a tender point," he said, "but thia ad ministration is young and new. When the time came to evaluate election promises they discovered their failures. "Industry obtained a 7 per cent tax depreciation by the 1962 legislature but not before it .was promised 5 times and not given. To listen to charges of the attorney general, you would not believe there is an honest businessman," Helzer said. In answer to a question on what makes a stock market, Helzer said, "when you know that every security you buy will make dividends, you'll buy." However, he pointed Senate Okays Liquor Discount Measure Salem - (UPD - The Senate Wednesday pased a bill au thorizing a 5 per cent discount on volume purchaes of liquor by bars after a battle over liquor and cigarettes tied up proceedings for more than an hour. The vote was 20-9. Sen. Thomas Mahoney (D Portland) announced, how ever, that he may move to re call the measure Thursday. but that the current stock buy. ing trend is speculative by "less than 100 share" holders. Bob Balk, manager of tha J. Henry Helzer Medford of fice introduced the speaker. Kiwanis President Curt Nes heim presided.
