The directors passed a motion at noon urging president Truman to sign a bill which would transfer Shasta lake from the park service to the forest wrvlce. The chamber had previously urged passage of the bill which has been approved by both houses and Is now in the pres ident's hands. Directors believe there would oe a more liberal policy in respect to recreational usage of the area, if control would be con ti oiled by the forest service. The chamber reiterated opposi tion to valley authorities, such as U'.e Columbia valley authority, as proposed in legislation now pending in congress.
