CANCED SOCIETi -. ktng Ft hum Bennett Introduces Arthritis Chafer Seeks Information Legislation To Aid State Parks Five scenic attractions in Emery County could be developed as state parks under terms of a bill introduced recently in Congress by Sen. Wallace F. Bennett Included among the spots in Emery county which have tentatively been selected for futre State Parks, and which would be affected by Sen. Bennetts bill, are Green River Canyon from Jensen to the junction with the Colorado River, San Rafael River, Hondoo-Mudd- y River Region, Goblin Valley, and Cathedral Valley. All of these areas include land owned by the. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, or other Federal agencies, and legislation will be necessary before they can be turned over to the State. Would Remove Limitation Sen. Bennetts bill, S. 1436, would remove the present limitation of 640 acres on the amount of Federal land which can be turned over to the states for development as state parks or recreation, areas. Thus, many of Utahs most spectacular scenic attractions are on land owned partially or wholly by the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, or other agencies. In many cases, the Federal agency involved has indicated a willingness to turn over the land to the State, but has been unable to do so because of the limitation.
