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-

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.
