Salem Scene THE OREGON ARMY NATIONAL GUARD is cited for valuable assistance in March of Dimes Walkathons tn Oregon this year. Colonel Richard A. Miller, The Adjutant General, represented the many Guardsmen across the state In accepting the March of Dimes Service Award. Presenting the Ser vice Award were Mrs. Deanna Copeland of Grants Pass, (left) State Volunteer Advisor, and Mias Sue Fisher of Salem, State Ten Chairman. The outstanding assistance and community service of the Oregon Army National Guard contributed to March of Dimes Walkathon success in Albany, Ashland, Corvallis, Eu gene, Grants Pass, HoodRiver, McMinnville, Medford, Nyssa, Ontario, Portland, Roseburg, and Salem. "This spirit of community service of the Oregon Army National Guard makes possible the continuation of medical service and edu cational programs all across the country,’’ says Mrs. Copeland. "Here in Oregon we are fortunate to have the able resources of the March of D!mes supported Metabolic Birth Defects Center at the University of Oregon Medical School.” Hatfield Proposes Steens Mt. Legislation Sen Mark Hatfield said to day that he is proposing le gislation to establish a 284.- 226 acre Steens Mountain Na tional Recreation area in Har ney county approximately 50 miles south of Burns. In a letter to Harney County Judge Newton Hotchkiss, Hat field asked that a conference be arranged in Burns to "dis cuss the feasibility” of the plan. Included in the proposed area would be approximately 184,127 acres of Federal public do main under administration of the Dept, of Interior, Bl.M, 93,193 acres of private land and 6,906 acres of state-ow ned land. Hatfield said that "Steens Mountain Is one of Oregon's greatest, but least developed natural resiairces and should be designated a priority area of environmental concern.” "It contains some of the most spectacular scenery in the U.S. and is a unique national treasure which must be preserved for all time,” he said. "Designation and use as a na tional attraction should justify increased federal funding to accelerate the development of recreation-oriented facilities improvement of grazing lands for wildlife, cattle and sheep, all of which will increase the permanent economic base of Harney county,” he said. Hatfield said he wants the first hand views of local go verning bodies as well as public and major private land owners, users and other who would be affected. According to Hatfield, BLM figures for May-October, 1970 show that the area recorded one-quarter million visitor days and that the projection of twice that number by 1985 will be reached well in advance of that date, He pointed to the "obvious potential" for increased re creation andtourist use because of its central location and proxi mity to the population centers of the seven western states. Proposed area is some 400 miles from San Francisco, Salt Lake and Seattle, 300 miles from Portland and less than 200 miles from Boise. Hatfield j proposal is larger by 90,420 acres than a "Re creation Plan" for the area developed by the BLM in Ja nuary, 1972. "The proposed area should assure ample room for major expansion of recreation-orien ted activities including hunting and fishing without causing any more serious conflicts between multiple use which might exist,” be said. Even as the State Legislature finally ground toa halt in Salem, speculation was prevalent con cerning official activities that will occupy lawmakers during the Interim prior to next ses sion. The period of time between adjournment of one regular bi ennial session and the begin ning of the next has become increasingly busy for the 90 men and women who serve. Succeeding Legislatures have had a tendency to create heavier Interim workloads--devoted primarily to studies of subjects requiring future legislation. The precedent-setting 57th session appears to have been no exception. The exact num ber of interim studies and the actual make-up of committee personnel probably won’t be an nounced for several weeks. But leadership of both House and Senate early in the session ex pressed a desire to continue the work of standing committees during the interim. Machinery implementing this desire is outlined in House Joint Resolution 11, which em powers the House Speaker and Senate President to direct in terim activity. In essence it calls for appoint ment of some seven joint com mittees --in addition to such standbys as committees for In terstate Cooperation, Executive Appointments, LegislativeCoun sei, Legislative Administration and the Emergency Board. Dur ing session the House had 13 standing committees and the Senate had 15. Several of those -- such as Rules and Stated Federal Affairs -- will not be continued into the interim. For practical purposes Ways A Means becomes the Emer gency Board. In all cases except for Senate Elections and the Upper Chamber’s Economic Development Committee, com panion panels served in each house.
