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.

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
