Hendee Reveals Plan to
Reserve Virgin I imber
Areas In Superior National
Forest Along Border Not
to be Logged.

Reservation of virgin timber areas
in the Superior National Forest along
the border for recreational use was
proposed by Clare Hendee, Duluth,
forest supervisor, to the Quetico-
Superior subcommittee of the Mime
sofa Arrowhead association at a meet
ing held in Duluth Friday.
According to Sigurd F. Olson of
this city, member Of the subcommit-
tee, the cutting of timber in such areas
would not be permitted They en-
brace some of the last virgin stands
in the state, and include some of the
finest timber in the entire national
forest.
Timbering would be little affected.
the Duluth News-Tribune said in re-
porting Hendee's plan, for last year
sales in the forest ranged between Is
and 20 million feet, whereas the forest
could supply from 100 to $50 million
feet annually without depicting sup
plies or hindering the conservation
program.
Besides Olson, Jacob L. Pete, another
member of the group, attended the

BoiIes' PIon Would
Retuin Identity Of Eoch
Under One Director

Representative Bolles. Republican
of Wisconsin. announced today he is
drafting a bill containing a new
plan for consolidation of the four
separate police forces in Washington
Metropolitan, White House, Park
and Capitol.
All four police units. he said. would
be placed under one director, but
would retain their distinct identity
Each unit would be designated as a
battalion.
THE consolidation of all police
forces under one head would be
much more efficient than the pres
ent systems" declared Mr. Bolles, a
member of the House District Com
mittee "All the uniformed officers
in Washington under such plan
could then be quickly modified in
case of an emergency. Each bat
talon would have its chief who
would be directly responsible to the
director of police.
There would be no overlapping
of details such as now exists eSpe-
cially between the metropolitan and
park police"
Mr.. Bolles said his plan also would
allow for the creation of separate
battalion of traffic officers, COM
posed of park as well as metro
politan police.
