ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - Senete hear ings on the Neuberger bill to create an Oregon Dune Na tional Seashore have caused a favor able climate for ap proval of the 1 e g i s lation but probably in modi tied form. Mem bers of the Senate I n t e- rior commit tee want to a koDL smiui iramp up ana down a few dunes before they cast their votes on the bill, but this is routine procedure which strengthens the argu ments of the committee when they send new park bills to the Senate and ask for their passage. The only major decision the committee will probably con front is whether to chop off the last nine miles of the park proposed by Sen. Maurine Neuberger south of Ten Mile Creek. This sector has never been included in previous bills and has met with criticism from industrial interests in the Coos Bay area. The idea for including this disputed strip came from the National Park Service early this year when Mrs. Neuber ger was redrafting her com promise bill. The senator has no strong conviction that it is vitally necessary to the con cept of a seashore park. It may become a bargaining point In later discussions on reconciling differences be tween her bill and that of Rep. Robert Duncan. On Obvious Question ' Beyond that uncertainty, the hearings left only one ob vious question mark about who stands for what with re spect to this controversy: the riddle of Sen. Wayne Morse's position. Morse failed to appear at the hearings held here last Wednesday or Thursday. He was given routine permission to file a statement of his po sition, but when the hearings closed it had not been filed Reportedly he wants to re view transcript of testimony before presenting his own views.

Try these simple tips for up to 30 extra miles per tankful of gasoline: Keep your tires up to their proper , pressure. Unclcrinflatcd tires can easily cost you a mile per gallon. , Avoid jack-rabbit starts.: Fast get aways take more power thus cause , your engine to burn mora gasoline. Try to avoid sudden acceleration and braking. A nice, even speed is much more economical. Drive at moderate speeds. Most cars ., use about, 25 percent more fuel at 65 mph than at 45 mph. Make sure your spark timing is set I . ' properly. When your plugs lire at the wrong time, you can lose power and waste gasoline. Use' a gasoline that contains a special .mileage booster. An outstanding exain- pie: Plutfurmatc, one of the 9 working ingredients in Super Shell gasoline. It ' actually packs about 4 percent extra mileage intoevcry gallon of SupcrShcll. 2. Let us make sure your air filter . , brcullies properly. Your engine runs on a fuel-air mixture that's about 7 percent gasoline and 93 percent air. Your air filter has to clean every bit of that air. If the filler becomes clogged with air-borne dirt and dust, results can be costly. You get an over-rich mixture that can cut mileage a mile or two per gallon also lead to sludge deposits in your lubri ! ' cation system and shorten engine life. : 3. Learn to read your tires. If tires show . uneven or one-sided wear, chances nre your wheels are out of alignment and that wears out tires fast. If your tires slum extra wear on both edges, they're probably uiiicTinriaied. Extra wear in center of tread means oi erinflation. So check j-our tires. If you notice any unusual wear, ask your Shell dealer to correct the cause- for longer tire life and a lower cost of di iving. 4. Give your cur a lift. All cars, even the biand new ones, need periodic inspection to catch small troubles before they lead to big damage. ., So ask your Shell dealer to put your car on his lift soon and lake a look. That's the best way to spot leaking brake 'luid, a Good exercise for the car-and a pleasant trip for the whole Family. To find out how a good, brisk drive can help restore engine performance and cut your cost of driving, see item 6. loose connection, or anything else that needs fixing. worth knowing: Shell dealers give free bumper-to-bumper inspection li'ili Shcllubrication. 5. See your Shell dealer if you see black smoke. Black smoke means your engine's getting more fuel than it can handle and sending some of it out the exhaust only partly burned. That's wasteful -but not too hard to fix. Ask your Shell dealer to check your carburetor and automatic choke. OTiiun smoke signals: Blue smote signals an "oil burner" and could mean you need a ring job. Wliite smoke is nor maljust engine moisture going out as steam. 6. Pile your family into the car and head for (he open road this weekend.The usu al weekday diet of short-trip, stop-and-go driving is bad for any car. The engine stays relatively cool. That's when combustion deposits are most likely to build up reduce engine efficiency and lead to poor mileage. But many of these deposits will fly right out the exhaust when you hit the open road a splendid way to help restore en gine performance. MEDFORD SHELL DEALERS DE-BUNK A MYTH ABOUT CAR CARE V It's a myth you should turn off your engine to cool it in heavy traffic on hot days When you switch off the engine, you shut off the fan and cooling system. 1 Icut builds up under the hood. Your gasoline can actu ally turn to v.iwr in your fuel line, choke off )ur fuel supply and leave you high and dry when you try to start up again. The right thing to do when you're slopped in heavy traffic is shift into neutral and increase idling sx-ed fmm time to time. That way you'll turn the fan faster and sKed up the flow of engine coolant. 7 lint's the real lowilonu. Yon can count on your Shell dealer for straight facts and honest uorfc. See him regularly. SHELL Morse's attitude toward the dunes park concept has been enigmatic- ever since it was first suggested by the late Sen.. Richard L. 'Neuberger (our years ago, possibly be cause at that time the two senators were engaged in searing personal feud and they appeared to .welcome more occasions to disagree inan to agree. After Dick Neuberger's death tn I960, a group of his benate colleagues quickly in- traduced a dunes park bill which would name the park as a memorial, the Richard L. Neuberger National Seashore. Morse, did not join in that movement of tribute. He opposed, he said, the provision in the early Neuber ger bill giving the Secretary of the Interior right to con demn residential property in the area. Others Approve When the Kennedy Admin istration took over and Secre tary Stewart Udall put steam behind the idea of adding new seashores to the national park system, Congress approved bills for seashore - parks at Cape Cod, Mass., Point Reyes, Calif., and Padre Island, Tex. But Udell set Oregon Dunes aside for tactical reasons. There were three reasons for the delay. One was Forest Service hostility to letting the Park Service bite into their territory, but Udall worked out an agreement with Agri culture Secretary Orville Freeman earlier this year to eliminate this obstacle. An other was the opposition of the congressman from Oregon who represented that coastal area during 1061 and 1962, Republican Edwin R. Durno. The 1962 elections brought a new congressman, Duncan who favors the park idea, but with a bill including less pri vate landholdings than would be involved in the Neuberger bill. Finally, during last year Sen. Morse privately opposed any administration action on the dunes issue because he was running for reelection and didn't want to have to take sides on this touchy ques tion at that time. Udall kept the proposal on ice, and Mrs. Neuberger accomodated her senior colleague by not press ing the issue until this year. Jackson s Idea About 10 days ago Morse privately told both Mrs. Neu berger and Duncan he would support some kind of park bill. But Glenn Jackson, chair man of the state highway com. mission, said Morse told him he liked the idea of a state dunes park. Organized conser. vation groups are urging Morse to support a federal park. Mrs. Neuberger observed during the hearings that those who objected to giving the federal government condem nation power over private Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, :9) Time and Tide Wait for Neither Man Nor Mollusk Many of us, standing at the very.edge of the sea and look ing out over the water, often experience a feeling of awe and unreality as we watch the draining away of the water from the tidal flat. Actually, we detect little shallowing of the water, but by careful observation we can see the water at our feet is lessening. We concentrate our attention elsewhere f o r a brief time, then look back at the beach, and the difference in the tide line is noticeable.
