name Of the associations with
out living up to their high

was delayed until tomorrow.

Denies Any Agreement
Also released TO the press
was a letter from Mr.. Davis
TO Richard A. Norris. president
of Lincoln, in which Mr.. Davis
denied that he had ever con-
sented TO any proposed merger
or consolidation between Lin
coin and Riggs. Apparently this
was in reply to a recent letter
TO Riggs stockholders, which
said Mr.. Davis had first looked
favorably on the merger and
then rejected It. The Riggs
letter was signed by Board
Chairman Robert v. Fleming
and President Hubert T. Bis
selle.
II want TO firmly and un-
equivocally deny that ! ever
consented to or agreed TO any
proposed merger or console
dalton between our bank and

Norris said.
My son agreed, with my

letter declared. The son is
FLOYD z. Davis, jr.
Tentative Offer Weighed
"The Davis family discussed
the tentative offer of the Riggs
National Bank for exchange of

their stock in the Lincoln Ma
tional Bank. This action we
believe to be not only to our
best interests. but also to the
best interests of the bank. which
hope and wish will be pre-
served as an independent flnan-

tinued.
II have been away from the
city, and this is the first oppor-

~ SYLVIA PORTER

A few weeks ago Congress
passed q bill providing for the
first national inventory OF the
country's outdoor recreation
resources.
Under the legislation a BIZ
partisan i5-member Presiden-
tial commission. including eight
members from the Senate and
House, win be set up 10 make
an inventory OF all land and
water areas In the Nation
disable for recreation. The in
ventory viii be by states and
regions and private as well as
public land will be included IN
the survey. The commission
also viii study what European
MISUNDERSTANDING switzer-
land and Sweden-have done 70
meet their needs for recrea-
ton.
The deadline for the COM
missions report is September /,
1851.
You don't need me to give
you proof on what is happening
to the outdoor recreation areas
Of the Nation. But you well
might ask "why?"
Two Major Reasons
A first great reason for the
appalling deterioration is that
so many more millions are
going in for outdoor recreation
of every type.
Increased leisure time, the
trend toward longer vacations,
longer weekends and more fire.
quent vacations are a vital part
Of the picture. -.
The second great reason is
that the number Of outdoor
Fairgrounds has been declin-
ing steadily.
As Congressional Quarterly
rather poignantly puts 1t,
nearly all adults remember a
quiet swimming hole or picnic
area we visited as children.
