ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington -(Special)- The director of the Bureau of Land Management, Karl S. Land- si r o m, has been kicked upstairs by In terior Secre tary Stewart U d a 1 1. On June 1 Land strom will re linquish the reins of the agency which Smith aomini stern the nation's vast public do main lands and the O&C for est lands of Western Oregon to Charles H. Stoddard, who for the past two years has headed the Interior Depart ment's resources program staff. Udall. has created a new post for LanrMrom entitled assistant to the secretary of interior for land utilization. In announcing this shift, Udall noted that former Secretary Harold Ickes had created such a post during the New Deal but that It has not been in existence for the last decade. Secretary Udall added that "recstablishment of the posi tion at this time is imperative in view of the unprecedented interests and emphasis on the land utilization programs of the department as evidenced by the augmentation of sea shore lands, wet land, wilder ness areas, outdoor recreation, etc., with their attendant con troversial uses. ! Privately, however, admin istration and congressional sources say what is also known to Landstrom: that Udall decided to move Land strom because of rumblings of discontent about his adminis tration of BLM, and his lack of favorable relations with members of the House and Senate. .. ' Career Man Landstrom is a career man in his field, starting when he joined the Department of Ag riculture in 1037 alter grad uation from the University of Oregon. He served as an econ omist in flood control and wa ter conservation work. In 194B he joined BLM as regional chief of lands and minerals for the Northwest at Portland. Subsequently, after trans ferring to Washington with BLM, Landstrom was engaged by the House Interior Com mittee as a consultant on min ing and public lands. In that post he became acquainted with Congressman Stewart Styled to Slim f SIZES "ii ' , HH-24J4 . Byrd Undecided , On Debt Ceiling Washington - Wli - Sett. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) said to day he has not decided what stand to take on President Kennedy's stop-gap proposal to raise the national debt ceil ing to $300 billion. Byrd. chairman of the Sen ate Finance committee and a staunch economy advocate, said he was "very doubtful" about another hike of the debt limit, but had not decided whether to oppose it. The 73-ycav-old senator said j he would wait until Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon brings his case to the finance committee before making a decision. Dillon testified Thursday. Tho House passed the bill to bring the limit to the record high of $300 billion during July and August. Republicans voted almost solidly against It. The Senate, however, is ex pected to approve the bill with little difficulty. There were Indications that (he finance committee would hear only Dillon and then clear the measure for Senate action without change. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said It would be taken up on the floor Monday. Easy-scw tucks add the per fect dress-up touch to a cas ual you'll love for Its cool uncluttered grace.

E. Tallis. Twenty-one children accompanied by their teacher, Willis Jones, and mothers, Mrs. Ralph Chadwlck, Mrs. Willis Jones, and Mrs. Ray Blankcnshlp, were on the trip. The previous week, the same classes took a tour of the Cali fornia State Quarantine station. Udall, who was a committee member. After President Ken nedy tapped Udall for his cab inet, Landstrom went back to Interior with Udal as direc tor of BLM. , : -. ' The chief western pressures on BLM the past two years have been from a segment of the cattle Industry which de pends heavily on using public lands . for grazing. Although BLM manages much commer cial timberiand In western Oregon, it escaped most of the protests from Northwest lum bermen of the past year and a half which were aimed pri marily at the Forest Service. Up in Arms The cattlemen, however, have been up in arms over cuts in grazing allotments and an increase in. grazing fees. Last February this pressure built up in hearings conduct ed by the Senate public lands subcommittee headed by Sen. Alan Bible (D-Nev ). He and other senators wrote Udall asking him to defer raising the grazing fee. Udall a few days -later raised the fee, but left it still lower than fees charged by the Forest Service, and much less than the going rate from private landholders. Since then, either conse quently or not, Interior has noted an indifference in the Senate Interior Committee to Udall's requests for new pub lic land .legislation. Some bills he has. requested haven't even been introduced for lack of a Senate' sponsor. At the same time, Land strom has rubbed members of Congress the wrong way on a number of occasions, usually in. instances which suggest in flexibility or stubbornness on his, part, congressional sources say. ''I don't know whether he's the round peg In the square hole or vice versa," said one congressman, "but he's been in the wrong hole." He said Udall has confi dence in Landstrom as a com petent technician in his field and sincerely expects to use him on special assignments, and not just shunt him aside into some bureaucratic back water. One recent incident appar ently irritated Udall and members of Congress. When the House Appropriations Committee finished trimming the Interior appropriation bill, Landstrom dispatched letters to congressmen from western states telling them how many federal jobs would be lost in their states if the BLM budget was compelled to conform with the committee's bill. When Udall found out about the Landstrom letter, congres sional offices were promptly advised to ignore it, that the department's strategy was to accept the committee's ver sion of the Interior bill with out a fuss. Contrasts With McKay Udall's method of replacing Landstrom contrasts with the furore created in 1953 when Secretary -ias McKay an nounced he was replacing in cumbent BLM Director Mari on Clawson, a holdover from the Truman administration, with Ed Woozley of Idaho. Clawson claimed civil service status and refused to leave gracefully. But when he grip ed openly to a newsman, Mc Kay charged insubordination and abolished the position of the director of BLM which re moved Clawson. A new position, administra tor of BLM, was created, to which Woozley was appoint ed. About six months later, after things had died down, Woozlcy's title was changed to director of BLM, and the shift was completed. Clawson went to a private outfit called Resources for the Future, which is financed by the Ford Foundation. By keep ing Landstrom in a new posi tion, Udall avoided any pub lic display of differences which provoked him to make his first change in the team he recruited to run the Inte rior Department. Stoddard, the new BLM director, came to Interior from Resources for the Future, where for five years he served as a resource economist working on land, forestry, wildlife, park and soil conservation problems.
