GRAND CANYON NATIONPARK Most drivers arrive a few hours before sunset. They come in automobiles, station wagors, camper trucks and motor homes towing jeeps and dune buggies their license plates from California, Illinois, North Carolina and every other state. They turn off Route 66 and head for the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to see one of AL the world's great spectacles: a blazing sun pigmenting the sky with fiery splashes of red, orange, gold and purple as it sets beyond the soaring, chiseled walls of the cavernous gorge. Much of the time, the motorized armada of sightseers turns the narrow little road along the edge of the canyon into one long traffic jam. Next summer, it will be different: The National Park Service has decided to ban pnvate vehicles from an eight-mil- e stretch of the rim road; to run free double-dec- k buses on the route as viewing platforms for visitors, and to run free minibuses to other sections of the park in the hope that motorists will be lured voluntarily from their cars. Growing Effort The project is part of a growing effort around the country to withdraw private vehicles from wilderness areas and to offer mass transportation as an alternative.

If an employe declines the transfer and is eligible for full retirement or proportionate retirement, he may elect either one, according to the superintendent. Those employes transferring will do so in the same pay and grade as they now hold at Intermountain School. Those employes with the least retention rights and requesting termination will receive severance pay, which is based on their present pay scale, years with the service and their ages. A total of 80 employes will be affected by the administrative transfers. Sixteen employes retired prrr to the notice of the transfers and four transferred earlier to posts on the Navajo reservation.

Growing Pressure from Growing pressure some environmentalists to restrict use of national park facilities and protect them from what they call people pollution came into focus late last summer, in a report drafted by the Conservation a Washington Foundation, environmentalists group. In a study on the future of the park system financed by the Park Service, it called for sweeping restrictions on the use of private cars in the parks, elimination of vehicular campsites and private visitor facilities, as well as other steps it said were necessary to preserve wilderness areas for later generations. These proposals have come under increasing attack lately from some public and business groups. If the government did what they want, wed be doomed," said Mrs. Hilda Mae Voght, executive director of a California-based federation of clubs that, among other things, represents the owners of thouof sands camper-truckmotor-homedune buggies and other outdoor vehicles. It is called the Consolidated Outdoor Recreation League, and Mrs. Voght claims a membership of more than 19,000 persons. Fanatical Groups She said that members of the organizations supported preservation of wilderness 'areas but opposed what she called fanatical conservation groups that would keep us in our backyards. She contended that the Sierra Club and other groups were trying to steammll politicians in the politically popular name of ecology, to keep people out of our parks. State and national park administrators say they are caught in a squeeze between who want environmentalists more restrictions and those who oppose them. Mr. Walker, the Park Service director, said he thought a middle ground could be found. He said he backed increased use of public transportation in parks, but not extreme that proposals would place wholesale restrictions on the access by private the whcle bedroom: 1 1 pc. king size bedroom in elegant mediterranean "FI Starting with a Burlington dresser center drawer guides and plete 254-pag- e construction.
