Industry Backs Johnson Bill Congress was told today that major bills pending to solve federal timber supply problems offer a choice between a reasonable and responsible approach and one that is at odds with both economics and forestry. The two approaches are contained In bills before the House on Agriculture Both are the outForests. growth of court Interpretations of an 1897 law threatening to reduce timber harvests in the National Forests by 75 percent In the short terra and 50 percent through the year 2000, a spokesman said. A. Milton Whiting, chairman and president of Kaibab Industries, Phoenix, Ariz., described H Jl. 12503, sponsored by Rep. Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson (D.. CalifO, and similar bills, as a step in the right direction. The bill appears to be a reasonable and responsible effort to enhance all of the values derivable from the National Forests, Whiting said, while at the same time encouraging production to meet the assessment of needs for wood products In the coming decade. He said guidelines for land management, contained in the bill, could be improved, and also expressed concern about a provision that could lead to unilateral modification of permits and contracts. -- On the other hand, Whiting said, HJt. 11894, sponsored by Rep. George E. Brown Jr. contains provisions that would mandate modem forestry right out of existence. Our best estimates are that, taken as a whole, this bill would reduce the total harvest from the National Forests at he said, least 60 percent, adding: The choice between the Johnson approach and the Brown approach Is whether the National Forests are to continue to have potential for contributing In perpetuity to the economic well-beiof the country, or whether they are to be relegated to being perpetually ensnared in useless and artificial constraints serving no purpose other than tragically to waste the resources of the National ng Forests. "It Is positively ludicrous at ils point in our nations da ve- lopment that proposals such as those incorporated into the Brown approach should be ser- . iously advanced. He said an earlier Congress, In 1897, wrote a bill that mandated forestry practices, Ignoring the possibility of any progress In this science.

Festival concert 22nd here, PRESIDENT SPENCER W. KIMBALL Pres. Kimball's Caster message Appealing to the world to "reach for the miracle of a rebirth of the spirit, President Spencer W. Kimball, world leader of the 3.5 million member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints called the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the most significant miracle of all time. In his Easter message to all the world, President Kimball said, That first Easter, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, Is the greatest and most significant miracle of all time. He whose lifeless, broken body had been removed from the cross at Calvary bad risen, lt was not a symbolic rising from the dead. It was real. "In these sophisticated times, there are some who doubt the reality of the resurrection. Yet, that miracle has been attested by a multitude of reputable witnesses. There are at least ten recorded appearances of Jesus between his resurrection and ascension. "My appeal this Easter Is for this troubled world to find a rebirth, a renewal, to turn to the teachings of the Prince of Peace. Too many are turning to a new sexual morality which Is nothing but the old Immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah. There Is too much cheating In government, In business, In labor, in society generally. The home, the bulwark of a strong and happy people, is In too many Instances being forsaken In the pursuit of pleasure. Divorce, with all Its heartaches and hlnderances. Is rising alarmingly. "I appeal to each of you, for your own happiness and Inner peace, as well as for the strength of the world, to reach for the miracle of a rebirth of the spirit. I give you my witness that you will find a fullness of joy this Easter and always. . Jf you will put Into your life the divine message of our Lord and Master, Jesus the Christ. 4 |
