Show Utah Film Enjoyed by Washingfonians WASHINGTON, D. C (Several members of the .Senate and House of Representatives Rep-resentatives Interior and Insular Affairs Committee Tuesday evening viewed a special color film on historic his-toric Indian, . . pictographs and pearoglyphs in , southern south-ern Utah. Senator Frank E. Moss, D-Utah, and Frederick G. Vosfourgh of the National Geographic Society, hosted host-ed an informal dinner party at the Society Headquarters Head-quarters in downtown Washington, at which time the Members of Congress and several Administration officials saw the film described des-cribed the activities of Dean , Brimhall, Fuita, U-tah, U-tah, as he explored Horseshoe Horse-shoe Canyon and the Maze areas adjacent to Canyon-lands Canyon-lands National Park. The two areas have been proposed to be added to the Park by Sen. Moss, who said Tuesday that "public awareness of the valuable Indian pictograph has caused many explorers to seek out the area. The increase in visitors has also al-so meant that several of the pictographs have been defaced and marked up by vandals. In one location, someone apparently tried to carry off a large rock slab on which pictographs triad been drawn several hundred years ago. Sen Moss' bill provides that Horseshoe Canyon be added to Canyonlands Na-ional Na-ional Park to be administered admin-istered bv the National Park Service as a detached detach-ed area. The Maze, along the west boundary of the present Park and the Lavender La-vender Canyon area, along the southeastern border of the Park, would also be added to the Park. All of the land except school sections sec-tions is presently held by the Federal government, and managed bv the Bureau Bur-eau of Land Managment. |
