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

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.

Hornbrook Students

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.
