Senators Hear
Varied Testimony
On Dunes Plan
Eugene -IWD- A Senate In
terior subcommittee Saturday
heard testimony for and
against Sen. 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.

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

among the 30 witnesses
scheduled to testify at the
two-day hearing.
The regulations are in
tended to prevent expense
