 desire on the part of state park au- | thorities to confer among themselves and with the national park service, not alone on this question by regard ni l ing the possibility of securing uni form state park legislation through
 out the country and the od, discussion If n l of park problems in general. The i requests for such a conference have become so insistent that it now seems I a national necessity, promising the | greatest results to the paruclpants | and the states they represent 1 secBetary Payne suggesteea e.
