(SpeciaD- senaior Kichard U Neuberge said today that the Eisenhower administration has "supplied the methods but failed to approve the money" for implementation of a long-range program for develop ment ana protection ot tne coun try's national forests. me Oregon Democrat noted that the Bureau of the Budget as not approved lunds tor ex penditure on a comprehensive pianior management of National Beef Feed Study Told New findings in beef cattle feed ing, including adjustment of ra tions for animals receiving hor mone treatment, have been report ed by the Oregon State College agricultural experiment station. Results are summarized in bulletin, "Results of 1957-58 Mil ton-Freewater Beef Feeding Ex periments." Oregon residents may obtain free copies from local coun ty extension agents or from the OSC bulletin clerk, Corvallis. David C.

More than 200 animals provided by local ranchers were used in the trials. Major findings include adjustment of grain intake as ani mals gain weight, best protein levels, comparisons of various lypes oi roughages, and experi ments with single and multiple Hormone implants to stimulate growth. THE COVER Drrppingstone Manor was an apt name for this camp on the slopes of Hart Mountain in mid May of this year. The camp is located in the public campground area at the hot springs. That white stuff oh the hill is not flowers. It is snow. Fresh snow. But it is a lovely spot, rain or shine. Forests which was submitted Congress by the Department Agriculture earlier this year. "At a special hearing held fo. western senators, Agriculture As sistant Secretary Ervin L. Peter son stated that the 3. 400,000.000 cost estimate for the next 12 year has not yet received budget bu reau clearance," Neuberger said Vuestions asked by senator. snowed tnat the torest service budget for fiscal year I960 was some seven million dollars below funds available in 19S9. On th other hand, the agriculture de partment has estimated that 40 million dollar annual increase ill be needed for each of the next five years. Neuberger expressed the belie' that, with 1960 budget estimate.) down, it would be dubious that the budget bureau would provide tne large increase needed. "Assistant Secretary Peterson told us that the forest service had asked for 181 million dollars for fiscal year I960 and that almost 40 million dollars was cut from this request by the department oi agriculture itself. Neuberger re ported. "The budget bureau made an additional cut of almost 20 million dollars which caused the forest service budget to drop well oeiow last year s neure. The senator said that cuts made by the administration did not in dicate to him that the national forest program has the support of tup auiuiuuu auun oiucims. Neuberger noted that the pro gram cans tor increases tor na tional forest programs of 40 mil lion dollars each year for the next five years to raise expenditure levels trom 120 million dollars an nually to 320 million dollars. The investment is calculated to Dro duce revenue increases from ap proximately 110 million dollars this year to 210 million dollar j and then to 385 million dollars. Approximately 27 per cent ot the money will have to be spent on roads, 21 per cent on timber. iz per cent on recreation and wildlife and the balance on var ious other programs, he said, to achieve full benefits of the pro gram. During the investment oe riod it is estimated that costs mi exceed annual revenues by 100 million dollars a year but, there after, revenues would substantial ly exceed costs. in Oregon an investment of 2n million dollars would be required the next 12 years. 162 million dollars for roads, 40 million dol lars for reforestation. 14 million dollars for housing and lookouts and nine million dollars for rec reational facilities. The invest ments needed for roads are twice as big as those in any other stale, Neuberger stressed, and much greater on a per acre basis than elsewhere in the United I Mates. He charged that the ad ministration has consistently op posed access road legislation which, if enacted earlier, would have helped tremendously in open ing up the national forests for greater use and better manage ment. "The administration philosoph) is that the necessary investment, in our forests which will late produce revenue can only be made if cuts are made in some other government function." the sena tor said, pointing out that Assist ant Secretary Peterson told the appropriations committee that if the Congress put money in fo- the national forest program thit year he hoped that the committer would make compensating cuts elsewhere in the budget. "The ad ministration has a split person ality," Neuberger declared. "On the one hand it announces pro grams which show that an invest ment of funds would produce reve nue while on the other hand, it is reluctant to seek the funds with out having a cut made in some other essential project." fmmmmmmim?yitfs:p saws y-vwy;wrL.,wj w.miw.!, JJJT 1 ONE OF THESE LOVELY GIRLS will be selected to reign at queen of the 1959 Water Pageant in Bend on July 2-3-4.
