Senate Interior Groun New Missile
Schedules Land Hearingffl??
In Bend On November 7
By TOM STIMMEL
Whether vast tracts of primi
tive, unspoiled iand in Oregon
should be preserved permanently
or opened to logging and grazing
will be debated in Bend Novem
ber 7.
The occasion is a public hearing
called by the U.S. Senate Interior
Committee. It promises to be a
stirring debate. The issue, despite
its calm appearance, is highly con
troversial.
What the issue amounts to is
whether Congress should establish
a National Wilderness Preservation
System from existing national for
ests and other government-owned
land.
Backers of the proposal, which
twice has failed to meet Senate
approval, envision "an adequate
system of areas of wilderness to
serve recreational, scientific,
scenic, educational, conservation
and historical needs" of a grow
ing population.
They would preserve areas al
most as they were before man
arrived, "where the earth and its
community of life are untram
meled by man, where man him
self is a visitor who does not re
main." Detractors, and there are many,
maintain that such wilderness are
as would "lock up millions of acres
of land in the West ... in which
no timber would be cut, no live
stock ranged, no roads built, and
which could not be put to bene
ficial use.
Opponents include lumbermen,
stockmen, sportsmen, fire protec
tors and others. One critic, speak
ing of the effect on Oregon, al
leged: "It is the intention of the
promoters . .'. to gobble up the
acreage lying along the crest of
our Cascade Mountains, including
a large volume of merchantable
timber."
Two previous attempts to create
wilderness areas failed to get
through the Senate (where one of
the bill's sponsors is Senator Rich
ard Neuberger of Oregon'. The
first attempt was called S. 1170;
the second was S. 4028. Both died
in committee.
It still is being considered ac
tively, however, and it would in
clude not only land in Oregon but
land in all western states. Con
sequently the Bend hearing is the
first of four scheduled in the West
The others are to be at San Fran
Cisco, Salt Lake City and Albu
querque. All these regional hear
ings resulted trom a hearing in
Washington last spring, when
broader discussion was demanded.
Two organizations very much in
terested in the result are the As
sociation of Oregon Counties and
the Interstate Association of Pub
lic Land Counties. Both are or
ganizations of county officials, but
the latter incorporates counties in
live states.
The two associations have not
yet taken a stand on the Wilder
ness Preservation bill as it is ex
pected to look in its third aD-
pearance, but they will be asked
to.
Forrest Cooper, a Lakeview at
torney who is counsel for the In.
terstate Association, returned this
week from a trip through Colorado
and Utah where, he said, senti.
ment generally opposed the meas-
ure.
At Bend, Cooper said, he would
recommend that a restraining
clause be amended to that, or any
other bill, providing that single
use dedication be conditioned upon
consent ot a state legislature.
Opposition to the first such bill,
S. 1176, was based upon what
Cooper said was historic policy to
provide the greatest good for the
greatest number by creating mul
tiple use areas wherever pos
sible. These would best serve farm
ing, cattle, timber, mining and
other interests.
Creation of single use areas,
such as national parks and monu
ments ana wilderness areas, was
an exception rather than the rule,
Cooper said. The U.S. Forest Serv
ice, he added, "even has abolished
single use areas, known as wilder
ness areas, (in) its judgment based
upon experience and changing
times.
Permitting a state legislature to
rule on single use adoption would
in the case of our state, "let old
Oregon try it on for size and if
he wants to buy it, okay," Cooper
said.
Klamath County Judge Charlie
Mack, a vice president of the In
terstate Association and chairman
of the Public Lands Committee of
the stale association, emphasized
that no stand has been taken yet.
That may come after the hear
ing in Bend. But it is certain that
local government officials in five
stales are very much interested.
A
multi-billion dollar contract for
assembling and testing of the
Minuteman intercontinental ballis
tic missile was signed Wednesday
by the Air Force and Boeing Air
plane Co.
The contract reportedly is worth
10 to 12 billion dollars to Boeing
and associated contractors.
Parties to the signing at the Aii
Force Ballistic Missile Division
here were Edward Wells, vice
president of Boeing, and Lt. Gen.
Samuel E. Anderson, commander
of the Air Research and De
velopment Command.
Boeing's selection as a prime
contractor on the Minuteman pro
gram was announced by the Air
Force Oct. 10. Other prime con
tractors are AVCO Manufacturing
Co., North American Aviation
Inc., Thiokol Chemical Corp. and
Aerojet-General
Boeing's role in the program is
similar to that of Convair in the
Atlas ICB.M program, Martin Co.
in the Titan program and Douglas
Aircraft Co. in the Thor program,
all under the management of the
Air Force
The Minuteman is a land-based
solid propellant missile.

Sen. Walter Lelh of Salem and
Rep. Joe Rogers of Independence
wrote Gov. Robert D. Holmes a
list of eight complaints.
The governor said he would in
vestigate them.
The complaints include:
The fair accountant was given
an extended vacation so that facts
can't be obtained.
Carnival space was doubled at
the expense of space for agricul
ture.
The carnival operator wasn't
bonded, and that the carnival
space wasn't awarded to the high
bidder.
Some 20 concession spaces were
rented for $200 each to a Califor

$350.

NEW YORK (AP) A major,
shuffle of National Broadcasting
Co. radio and television affiliates
in the Pacific Northwest was an
nounced by the network here Wednesday.
NBC said it has dropped its at
filiation with a Seattle radio and
television station, a Portland tele
vision station and with an Oregon
Citv. Ore., radio station. The net
work said it has entered into new
affiliation agreements with stations
of the KING Bropdcasting Co. in
Portland and Seattle.
The new NBC outlets in Seattle
will be KING radio and KING-TV

WASHINGTON (NEA A young
mother and father nervously watch
their crippled infant daughter as
she gets ready to take her first
step.
It's an agonizing moment, even
for the trained doctors and nurses
who never are able to shake the
tension that grips them on these
occasions,
Wonder if the little kid can
make it the first time?" they keep
asking themselves. "How will her
parents react if something goes
wrong and ?
And then the baby takes one
step, followed by another little
steps made possible by two minia
ture artificial legs.
This scene is a common occur
rence today in clinics which speci
alize in treating congenital am
putees, children who have been
born without arms or legs. It's the
result of an amazing rehabilita
tive program which fits these un
fortunate kids with artificial limbs
soon after they are born.
This unique treatment is being
successfully practiced by crippled
children s centers in several
states. The U.S. Children's Bureau
provides financial support for these
programs in Los Angeles, cant.;
Grand Rapids. Mich., and New
York City.
But just a few years ago this
dramatic technique seemed unreal
istic, almost impossible to perform.
Congenital amputees were usual
ly forced to spend their early years
on crutches or with armless sleeves
Thus, infants are being given ar
tificial legs as soon as they are old
enough to stand and walk. These
are often highly simplified limbs
without even a knee joint. But as
the child grows older, they are
exchanged for more complex, mov
able legs.
This is also true of mechanical
arms and hands. Some physical
therapy experts believe these arti
ficial limbs are necessary in pre
paring a child for walking and
should be applied while he's still
in the crawling stage. They ex
plain that in addition to provid
ing balance an artificial upper limb
enables a child to pull himself into
a standing position so he can
take that always eagerly awaited
first step.

Fruit. Vegetable Bargains
Balance High Meat Prices
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bargains in vegetables and fruits
counterbalance continuing high
prices for meats in the nation's
supermarkets and neighborhood
grocery stores this weekend.
Fresh produce from nearby
fields and orchards is still avail
able in many areas. Poor growing
weather curtailed West Coast
crops of lettuce, citrus fruits.
grapes and vegetables but so far
this has had little effect due to
nearby supplies.
Supermarket meat experts seem
to have scattered their fire trying
to find bargains guaranteed to
catch the shopper's eye. A var
iety of cuts of pork appear slight'
ly more numerous than offerings
of beef, while turkeys and frying
or roasting chickens are featured
in scattered locations. forK spe
cials are about evenly divided be
tween cooked hams and less ex
pensive fresh ham, pork loin and
smoked picnic hams.

he brought to the Energy Re

Dr. James L. Tuck, of the Los

There is no repairman in Los Ala
mos and she insisted that I have
lt fixed in Denver."
Pork chops are 2 fo 10 cents a
pound higher almost everywhere
this week.
Veal chops arc up a bit in
few sections, along with eggs, hut
olher prices are mostly about the
same as last week.
Outstanding vegetable buys in
clude cablge. onions, spinach,
broccoli and potatoes. The big
Long Island crop pushes polato
supplies up and prices down. Cau-'
liflowcr, brussels sprouts, swiss
chard and dandelion greens also
are outstanding buys.
Good buys are lettuce, carrots,!
snap bean's, pascal celery, Idaho j
potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes'
and green onions. Iceberg lettuce
from New Jersey augments the
California supply. Cucumbers and
green or yellow squash are rated
fairly good buys, whole tomatoes,
eggplant and peppers are more
expensive.
Big news in fruiis again is ap
ples, since supplies from both
Eastern and Western orchards are
so plentiful prices are way, way
down.
Pears, grapes and a few re
maining prunes also are good
buys.

he go to court and pay. Nevins
agreed but insisted on driving nis

The officers, following Nevins,
noticed his car was drawing farth

KOMO, KPTV and KGON will

KING AM and TV is currently

In trade circles here it was re
ported NBC olfcrcd an additional
$300 an hour increase in station
payments to KING-TV over what
had been paying KOMO-TV.
Harry Bannister, NBC vice pres
ident in charge of station relations,
said the new association assures
still greater possibilities for NBC
service to the area.
Officials of the Fisher Broad

and television stations, declined
comment on the NBC affiliation
transfer.
ices, explains that some children
become so used to their artificial
limbs that they even wear them
when they go to bed.
She credits much of the pro
gram's success to improvements
that manufacturers are making in
artificial limbs. Miss Arrington ex
plains that new types of limbs ere
constantly being turned out that
enable an amputee to perform
more complicated movements with
less effort.
Some of the congenital ampu
tee centers teach crippled chil
dren to lead normal lives with a
combination hospital home care
program.
At the hospital, the child is fit
ted with his new limb and taught
how to use it. Instruction is also
given to at least one of the par
ents to insure that the child oper
ates it correctly when he goes
home.
IT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS!
miirm
Today, however, doctors have
discovered that it's often harmful
to make these children wait sev
eral years before teaching them
how lo use an artificial arm or
leg. They explain that a child's
healthy growth and development
demand that ho get exercise and
participate in normal activity.
Also, older children have more
trouble learning how to use me
chanical limbs than younger kids,
doctors say. They explain that
children who are fitted at an early
age seldom miss the loss of their
real arms and legs since they
grow up wearing the artificial
ones.
