Classification of Primitive Areas To Await Team Report Portland-Announcement of U.S. Forest service proposal for Wilderness classification of the North Cascade Primi tive area will be delayed un til a national study team re ports its recommendations as to the best form of manage ment and administration for the North Cascades region of Washington. A study of the resource po tentials of federal lands In ( northern Washington was an- j nounced recently by Secrc tary of Agriculture Orville L. j Freeman and Secretary of In- tcrior Stewart L. Udall. The North Cascade Primi tive area and the Glacier Peak Wilderness area are within the region to be studied. The region is rugged, highly scenic and is virtually undeveloped. The portions of the area presently designated by the Forest service as wilderness and primitive exclude logging and most other commercial operations. Generally outside these designated areas lie the west slopes of the North Cas cade mountains which are deeply indented by valleys WttOM floors produce some of the finest stands of Douglas fir known. Lumber companies use many of these areas com mercially, harvesting in ac cordance with the Forest serv ice's sustained-yield concept The multiple-use management of these areas also recognizes wildlife, water, grazing, and Royce H.

Washington - 0!PI) - A land sale racket that flourished in the twenties is reported mak ing a comeback in the sixties. It is known as the "free lot" scheme, and it works something like this: A person receives a letter from a firm describing lots for sale in some remote but sun-kissed valley or beach, usually a considerable dis tance away. The promotion literature have suggests tnat the land is a thing of beauty, perfect for that summer home or retire ment cottage, and that all of the utilities and other services are in-ready for the houses to go up. Then, to entice the custo mer even more, the literature says that as a special offer for lot buyers, it will sell a sec ond lot for an extra $20, or some such insignificant sum. Buyer Awakens What really happens -according to reputable realtors is that the customer finds out that the land he bought isn't quite as scenic as the adver tising prose suggested. And the clincher is that When he is ready to pick up the deed for that second lot, the saleman says something ' like: "Oh yes, on that second j lot . . . there are a few inci dental fees, recording papers and a couple other things, j We'll need another $350 to cover these," The National Association of Real Estate Boards says that reports from its members in dicate that the free lot scheme is getting more popular among the confidence men who try to sell by mail. No one seems to know ex actly why. Perhaps, it might be because some of the forces that seemed to feed this rack et 40 years ago may be pres ent today. Mainly, a lot of people seem to have money to spend. And they are infected by the bargain-hunter's mania. Reviews Stat Laws At any rate, the National Association of Real Estate Boards sounded the warning to its members. It also tried to bring them up to date on slate laws intended to catch the free-lot operators. The board used information which was collected by its State Associations Depart ment in Chicago to alert its members about the racket. The department reported I leading advertising or Ilia that the free lot scheme is spe- making of false promises in cifically outlawed in Indiana, j the sale of real estate. Kansas.

The department also point ed out that most states also statutes banning mis- Eastern Oregon Youth Receives Carnegie Honors Pittsburgh -(DPP- An eastern Oregon boy was awarded a bronze medal and $500 by the Carnegie Hero Commission Tuesday for rescuing a girl from the John Day river in 1961. Ronald Blaine Hydcr of Mt. Vernon was one of 25 persons honored by the commission from throughout the United States. Ronald was 11 years old when he saved Glcnda S.

The department said its stu dies show that current oper ators seem to be using it to push the sale of undeveloped land. It suggested that its mem bers might want to support proposals to tighten up state laws in this area to help "in disciplining unethical subdivi sion developers."
