Washington At Interior Sec- i rctarv Stewart Udall s news con- ; (crence last week he was asked 1 whether he and President Ken ! nedy. while flying over the Ore i gon Dunes in September, had ! been able to convert Sen. Wayne j Morse to support their pro i posal for establishing a national ' park at the Dunes, i Udall grinned and said that he concluded from all the conver sation on the president's plane that "Senator Morse favors it." Privately, however, Udall and olher advocates of the Oregon I Dunes park are deeply troubled by reports that the park bill I may be stripped of one of its I key provisions at Morse's be ' hind-the-scenes insistence. I That key provision is the pow ! er of condemnation which is j normally granted to public agen cies in creating parks, locating highways, implementing urban renewal projects, etc. This gov ernment power to take property for a public use, paying the own er a fair price set by the courts, is the established method by which the public interest in rec reation facilities, new roads and slum clearance is fulfilled against the conflicting interests of private property owners. Champion of Few But Morse, who usually favors such public improvements, has become a champion of a few private property owners in the ease of the Oregon Dunes park. He has informed the Senate Pub lic Lands subcommittee the park bill is unacceptable to him if it gives Udall condemnation authority. The subcommittee is current ly wrestling with this issue. It has pretty well determined to recommend a park of some 30, 000 acres, closely similar to the shape and size proposed by Rep. Robert B. Duncan. His bill would include about 5.000 acres of private land. Since the bill sponsored by Sen. Maurine Neuberger and favored by Udall contained twice that amount of private property, the subcommittee's decision in behalf of a smaller park tends to minimize the is sue raised by Morse, but it doesn't eliminate it. Duncan, who as a congress man representing the Dunes area is sensitive to local senti ment, believes condemnation powers are justified and needed, as does Mrs. Neuberger. Their bills are similar in protecting owners of residential property with this restraint on govern ment authority: if local zoning by-laws are adopted to guaran tee against undesirable condi- Swimmer Caught fir Boat Propdler SAM FRANCISCO (UPI) A former swimming star and hon or student at the University of California lost both legs and part of his left hand Sunday when tions, such as honky tonk com mercialism, then residential property in the park cannot be condemned; and owners can continue to live in their homes or sell them to other private per sons if they wished. In short, such restrained ap plication of condemnatinn mi. thority is desiened In nrnlivl both the public's interest in pre serving tne scenic character of the area and the residents' in terest in not being bought out by the government without their consent. No Guarantee Offered The weakness of Morse's posi tion is that it fails to offer the public the future visitors to such an outdoor recreation area any guarantee that they won't encounter undesirable honky tonks nestled unpleasantly with in the park. The same Senate subcommit tee has approved numerous other park bills which included condemnation authority. With out it, the Park Service would be powerless to deal with a cheap beer joint within the boundaries of the new Cape Cod National Seashore park, or to touch the Gold Nugget Saloon, a gambling joint, in Lake Meade Recreation Area. When the committee finishes drawing boundaries for the Ore gon Dunes park, there may be no such undesirable establish ments in the park. But if the Senate bows to Morse, or the senator doesn't modify his posi tion, there will be no protection against some enterprising opera tors setting up honky tonks and thumbing their noses at the dis approving park rangers, conser vationists and citizens who be lieve that a scenic park should be spared the wicked ways of the city. Schrunk Disappointed On Choice of Mexico PORTLAND (UPI1- Portland Mayor Terry Schrunk has ex pressed disappointment that Mexico City had won the 1968 Olympic Games, but said Port land will continue its efforts to lure the 1972 games. "I had hoped it would go to a European city," Schrunk said of the selection. "That would give the United Stales and par ticularly Portland a better chance at the 1972 games." PREDICTS CUT WASHINGTON (UPI) - Bud get Director Kcrmit Gordon pre dicts a $1 billion cut in govern ment spending this year. he was caught in the whirling propeller of a fishing boat in San Francisco Bay. The victim, James Small, 27, lay close to death at Lettcrman General Hospital today as doc tors gave him numerous trans fusions of blood to save his life. The accident occurred near Alcatraz Island as Small and 11 other members of the Dolphin Club competed in a long-distance swim across the bay. The 32-foot fishing boat, the Pacific Dawn, cut through the group of swimmers at an esti mated speed of 12 knots. Its propeller sliced off Small's right leg above the knee. Doctors later amputated the left leg, al so above the knee, and Small's left thumb. Small graduated from the Uni versity of California with honors in ISHiO and later served in the Marine Corps. He set school rec ords in the 400 and 1.500 meter free style races while on the swimming team.
