Salem Scene By Everett E. Cutter OREGON PROMINENT IN ELECTION YEAR SUSPENSE It's anelection year, all right, and nowhere is it more obvious than in the excitement and spec ulation marking Salem ac tivities this week. The rush for candidacy filings occurred at the Capitol Hi 1 Id mg on Tuesday <M*rch 19). With head-on races for each legisla tive seat new a campaign reality and challenge, suspense builds as many candidates bold off until most filing decisions are known before cemmiting them selves to what they believe will be their best races or posi tions. But even as state and local contests are firming up, there is increasing talk here about the next important date in Ore gon politics. That also is this week, March 22, and it is the last day when persons listed as Presidential and Vice Presi dential candidates in Oregon’s Preferential Primary election may file to remove their names from the ballots. Speculation increasingly is building up our state as a cru cial one in this year’s American exercise of choosing a Presi dent. The Oregon primary, some say, will accurately tab the two parties’ nominees and may well prove decisive in who will occupy the White House for the next four years. Certainly national eyes have been turning toward Oregon’s early primary election and its LOOKING FOR GOLDEN HARVEST FERTILIZER?

Craft, BLM state director, said. “As managers of 16 million acres of public land m Oregon and Washing ton, we in the Bureau of land Management are keenly aware of the need for nature and man to live in harmony. We are glad to cooperate with the Na tional Wildlife Federation and other agencies in giving special emptiasis to conservation ed ucation during W ildlife Week.” Craft said that ways to “learn to live with nature” include: 1. Outdoor schools and conservation tours for sixth graders, 2. Integration of na tural resource study through out school curricula, 3. Parti cipation in Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and similar youth or ganizations, 4. Enrollment in adult education classes related to natural resources, 5. Par ticipation in hobby clubs, gar den clubs, natural science so cieties, and other groups inter ested in nature, 6. Touring, hunting, fishing, rock hounding, hiking, camping, and other out door activities, 7. Ranching, logging, farming, and similar occupations, and 8. Reading about nature and natural re source management. “But just learning about na ture and enjoying the outdoors isn’t enough,” cautioned Craft. requirement for commitment, during the fast-breaking events of the last month. Network television, wire services and national syndicate reporters are planning extensive coverage of the Oregon primary if events firm up the way many now are predicting. Significant among the last month’s events was Michigan Gov. George Romney’s with drawal from the Republican race, leaving the way open for New York Gov. Nelson Rocke- feller to challenge Richard Nixon for the Presidential nomination on that ticket. This he can do now merely by neglecting to file an affi davit of non-candidacy in Ore- gcm. Both Rockefeller and Nixon were announced for the primary ballot earlier this month by Secretary of State Clay Myers, as were California Gov. Ronald Reagan and Illinois Sen. Charles Percy, Republicans. On the Democratic ticket, voters will choose among President Johnson, New York Sen. Robert Kennedy, Minnesota Sen. Eugene McCarthy and In dependent George W allace-- unless any formally withdraws. On this roster, too, expecta tions are fluctuating as a re sult of significant events of the last few weeks.

BLM cooperates with the Ore gon Game and Fish Commis sions by providing suitable wildlife habitat, he explained. Measures include food and cover plantings, watering places for birds and animals, fencing to protect wildlife food and water, installation of water- fowl nesting sites, streams clearance to aid migranting fish. Timber harvest improves food supplies for elk, deer, bear, grouse, and other wild life in western Oregon. In east ern Oregon, BLM manages the habitat on 31 pronghorn antelope ranges and 30 mule deer win ter ranges. Most big game ranges have benefitted by mild winter weather, and rainfall has been sufficient for adequate grass and shrub growth this summer, BLM officials report. Craft said that on March 5 BLM people participated in a conservation education work shop to develop plans for assis ting school teachers and others in acquainting future citizens with the importance of natural resources to their lives.
