rector of Government Relations for

Affairs.
''The Congress should officially re-

lRUxAN EROSION" GAN DESTROY OUR
NATIONAL PARKS
NAaEUVkA- HNk'
BY CONG. LEE METCALF

1t hasn't been long since a San
Francisco newspaper wrote that what
it called s.human erosion" would kill
nearby national park within so
years.
The story was on Yosemite Valley.
But it could have been written about
any one of our % national parks,
swamped by tide of visitors, mount
ing year after year, while Congress
fails to provide the money to keep
pace.
Figures show what has been going
on. But they don't tell the whole
story. Since 1916, the number of
visitors to our national parks has
jumped to 46 million from 81. APP
preparations for the Park Service
have not kept pace-edging up from
$25 II million in 1947 to $50 million
this year. And only about half of this
years appropriation goes for opera
ton, maintenance and protection of
these areas.
With this drop in the bucket, the
Park Service is to preserve, protect,
maintain, develop and administer %
national parks, five national historical
parks, 85 national monuments, Sc
acres of various other classifications
and 785 national capital parks.
Despite the dedicated men on the
job, this just can't be done without
more money. They started the race

Ike DUCKS APPEAL
FOR HELLS CANYON

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
President Eisenhower ignored six
senator's request that he endorse a
federal Hells Canyon. Instead, he
praised partnership" power projects
between U. S. government and pri-
vate firms in his State of the Union
message, January 6.
The Pacific Northwest senators
said that areas developments shave
Jagged behind" Unless low-cpst pub
lie power is available soon, they said
in letter to the President January a,
call segments of the economy will
suffer" They urged an "early start"
on the high dam.
Senators James E. Murray Cd
MONTH, Wayne Morse Ond-Ore.),
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.),
Warren G, Magnuson (D-Wash.),
and Henry M. jackson (D-Wash.)
signed the letter.
Meanwhile, both Federal Power

motion urging rejection of the power
firms ever-changing plans for de-
velopment of the Hells Canyon site.

JUST FOR STRIKING, THESE DOCK
WORKERS Are FACING PRISON Terms

ANKARA, Turkey -(LDNS)- A
group of 556 dock workers today face
prison terms for striking. Strikes and
organized stoppages are illegal in
Turkey.
Some 700 longshoremen of two
unions staged five-day walkout
last July at Ismir (Smyrna).
They demanded higher wages,
steadier work and protested new
contract between the Turkish Mari
time Bank, government-owned port
authority, and stevedoring firm.
The unions asked that the lockers
be employed directly by the maritime
bank.
The presidents of the Ismir Long
shoremen's Union and the Ismir Trade
Union Federe lion, along with 15
other union leaders, were charged
with calling the strike.
A total of $50 rank and file lockers
were charged with taking part in the
walkout.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-01-14

The unions contended the men re-
fused to report for work because their
contract had expired.
The men returned to work after
troops were sent to the docks. The
government later closed down the
Ismir Dock Union and the smaller
Alsancak Coal and Dockworkers'
Union.
The Ismir Penal Court is conduct
ing the trial and can give the union
leaders up to 80 months in prison.
The rank and file workers are subject
to six months in prison and fine of
100 Ira $3.50.
Unions won legal status in 1947
and now have membership of 1885,
900 out of a labor force of nearly
100000.
Both major political parties have
promised labor the right to strike
but the present government has failed
to carry out the pledge since it took
office in early 1850.
