Senate Hearings Net Favorable Climate for Seashore Proposal
By A. 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.

1. 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

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

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.
