Maurine Neuber ger's proposed bill calling for a national seashore at the Ore gon Dunes. Sen. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.), chairman of the hearing, heard two hours of testimony from opponents, two hours of discussion and two hours from proponents. Another hearing is sched uled in Washington, D. C, Wednesday oh the proposed 42,000-acre park near Flor ence. Boundaries Flexible Mrs. Vera Springer, Sen. Neuberger's Portland repre sentative, indicated at the outset of the hearing that the Democratic senator feels the boundaries o the proposed park are still flexible. Rep. Robert -Duncan (DrOre.J has introduced a House bill with smaller proposed boundaries. Mrs. Springer noted also the difference between nation al parks and national sea shores, which she said is a point of misunderstanding. She said national parks are set aside to preserve the beau ty of an area and often do, not offer maximum use or recreation. But, national sea shores, she said, are set ajide for maximum use. Coos Bay Testimony Businessmen and officials of Coos county and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend testified they were opposed to a national seashore park that would Include industrial sites and industrial water supply. Tom O'Dwyer, North Bend, asserted the national seashore concept is not compatible with industrial use. He said loss of the water for future forest products industries could be a tragic blow to the communities. Object To Boundaries Similar statements were placed in the hearing record by other opponents who ob ject to a south park boundary near Coos Bay and the north boundary near Florence. Support for the seashore came from Bend publisher Robert Chandler, former con- eressman Charles Porter of Eugene, and James Monte, Portland, chairman of the Committee for the Oregon Dunes. "They (the dunes) , are uniaue on the North Amen- can continent and they should be preserved," Chandler said. MEIVS(Q)BRIEFS BEH BELLA.

MEDFORD, and Motel association, said the new rules "will cause a dis respect for the law compara ble to the prohibition era." Others said the regulations were putting a crimp in busi ness and causing unemploy ment, particularly in the res taurant and hotel industries. Spokesmen for salesmen groups, clubs, hotels, account ing firms, and restaurants took turns verbally flailing the new code. The only favorable senti ment came from Mortimer M. Caplin, commission of In ternal Revenue Service, who said the regulations "reflect a liberal view" and "strike a fair balance between restrict ing abuses . , . and imposing undue restrictions on legiti mate business activity." Language Said Complicated Caplin was challenged by Thomas Power, counsel for the National Restaurant asso ciation, who said the new rules were written in lan guage too complicated for the average expense account ex ecutive to understand. He said the regulations could cause serious unemploy ment in the restaurant and food service industries. Caplin defended the new rules in a statement opening an Internal Revenue Service hearing on the regulations to determine whether any changes should be made be fore making them permanent. The commissioner said he felt the expense account rules "reflect a liberal view while remaining consistent" with the enabling legislation pass ed by Congress. He said the IRS hoped to publish the final version of the new expense account reg ulations next month. 30 To Testify Spokesmen for clubs, ac counting firms, trade associ ations and salesmen's profes sional organizations also were among the 30 witnesses scheduled to testify at the two-day hearing. The regulations are in tended to prevent expense account abuses, such as charg ing off extravagant and lav ish entertaining that has no valid business purpose.

" The meeting lasted an hour but no official comment was forthcoming. However, Bosch summoned U, S. Ambassador John Barlow Martin to the palace, presumably to give a briefing on the meeting.
