PARK AREA TIMBER
DECLARED UNCUT
Story of Wholesale Lumber
ing Branded Pure Fiction
by Association Heads.
Special Dispatch to The Star

LURAY, Va, April 24.-Vigorous
denial was made here today by l..
Ferdinand Zerkel, executive secretary
of the Shenandoah National Park As
sociation, of the published report that
property owners in the proposed park
area are stripping their land of tim
ber before the Government takes 1t
over.
THAT story was manufactured
from a shoe string" Mr.. Zerkel de-
clared. Not only is the vast ma
iority of worth while timber In the
Shenandoah National Park unavail-
able for commercial purposes, but the
bottom has dropped out of the lum-
her market around here so completely
that there would be no incentive for
the property owners going to the ex.
pense of bringing their logs out. even
If they could get at them.
'"fhe truth of the matter Is this.
Over on the east side Of the noun
tains Is a small tract, around the
headwaters of the Rapidan. where
numbering has been conducted on a
very small scale. Only a small part of
the area lies in the park at all and
the owners have not even taken
mechanical equipment in to cut down
their trees.
Last winter tney cut enough 10
make several carloads of logs and
they have Just succeeded in getting
them out. On the basis of this re-
porter spread the story that wholesale
cutting was under way. 1t Is purely
fiction. Every person who has been
in the park area knows that one Of
the reasons such fine timber still ex
lists there is because up to now II has
been virtually inaccessible for com
mercial purposes.
"In addition to that the largest buy
ers of timber around here wired no.
tice earlier this Spring that until the
national park had been created they
would buy no lumber from these parts
for fear of encouraging the destruc
tion OF some parts of the wonderful
primitive forests up in the mountains.
The park. you must remember, begins
we'll up the mountain sides. and what
ever cutting that is going on now is
well down in the foothills. Even there
II is very trivial"
This statement was confirmed by
