No Decision On Primitive Area Bills MCCALL, Idaho (AP) - Rep Gracie Pfost, D-Idaho, chairman of a House public lands subcom mil tee conducting hearings on Senate-approved wilderness logis lation, said her group will make no decision until after the first of. the year. At the windup of a two day hearing here Tuesday, Mrs. Pfost said all views will bo consdered and that no decision will be made until after Jan. 31 when a reportl is due from the Outdoor Recrea tion Resources Review Commis sion. She said she is one of four congressmen on that commission. The Senate passed a bill 78-8 last summer which sets aside wil derness areas. Mrs. Pfost said the House subcommittee is getting public sentiment on that bill but has other proposed measures, too. Many opponents have said it would be premature to enact wilderness legislation until the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission makes its And Mrs. Pfost said tio auih legislation would go through the House until that report is made. Mrs. Pfost and Rep. Arnold Olsen, D-Mont., heard the testi mony here Tuesday and Monday and had another session scheduled Wednesday in Montrose, Colo. Olsen said major questions to be answered revolve around how much and how fast public domain land should be converted to pri vate ownership and whether mul tiple-use leads eventually to pri vate ownership and thus single use.

Too By AN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers; Occasional ly in your column women write about husbands who won t bathe and refuse to brush their teeth. These wives have to sneak their tins- 4 band's under- wear away at night to put it in the laundry. You have pointed out, and cor rectly so, that such people are sick. You seldom say anything, how ever, about the people who are at the opposite end of the beha vioral pole. I refer to the crazy- clean women who make a fetish of cleanliness. They are sick, too. My mother was one. She would never shake hands with anyone because she was afraid of "germs." Her home was antisep tic. She even polished the tele phone mouthpiece with disinfect ant twice a day. These clinical perfectionists use such techniques to bolster their egos. They try to be so flawless that no one can find fault with Ihem. In reality they are dissatis fied with themselves and unsure. The well-balanced personality is somewhere in the middle. He wants things to be reasonably clean, but he can stand a little dirt, too. I wish you'd say so. -A PHYSICIAN Dear Physician: You did.

Law May Injunction in Oregon to attempt to set up In accordance with the law an agri cultural zoning district. The coun ty planning commission has rec ommended the county court set up the district. Emmet Rogers who resides near West Salem, said in a strongly-worded lotter to the coun ty court at Dallas that the new law shifts some of the burden of property tax payments from one class owners of large tracts of land i to smaller owners and residential and business proper ties. He said this contributes to a "shrinking state tax base." He said the law was full of inequali ties, was vague and indefinite and possibly unconstitutional. After a series of public hear ings last August the Polk court planned to hold a final hearing next month before taking action, The proposed district covers only a small part of Polk County.
