The Interior Department has disclosed it will study the Wilderness potential of an additional 54 million acres in parks and wildl ife refuge area. The Forest Service's study proposal was described at a press conference by Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz and Forest Service Chief John R. McGuire. It may take a decade to complete the studies, after which Congress will be asked to authorize the enlargement of the wilderness area, Butz and McGuire said.

The 11 million acres are in 35 areas in 14 states and Puerto Rico. The areas, by state, with total acreages'. Alaska, Colorado Idaho Mont a a Wyoming California Washington Arizona Utah New Mexico 323,301. Nevada Florida 22.00D; North Caroline H.935; and Puerto Rico 8,488. Butz and McGuire said doubling the wilderness system would result in a reduction of timber cutting in remaining national forests.

No logging, mining or other commercial activities are permitted in wilderness areas. The reduction probably would be about 300 million board feet annually, it was reported. The present allowable timber cut in the forests is 13.6 billion board feet. The 235 new study areas were winnowed from 1,448 roadless areas across the country after more than 300 public hearings held by the Forest Service and careful evaluation of all areas, Butz and McGuire said. The list may be changed be- NOTICE: will be closed January 15 through 31 for renovation and repair.

A statement will be submitted to the President's Council on Environmental Quality and it will be subject to public comment and suggestion for a Kklay period, he added. The new study probably will not be started until 1915 because agriculture will be busy until then examining primitive areas for possible addition to the wilderness system, it was reported. Tliis must be done by the end of 1974. Sixty-one of the 25 areas In the proposed new study, containing 4.1 million acres, already have been committed to study by prior Forest Service decisions, court orders or Congressional Acts.

Asked why so few of the proposed wilderness areas are in the East, McGuire said the Forest Service got little response. House commerce unit gives nod on interest A surprise announcement -horn Gov. William A. Efan, the bouse Commerce Committee' do-pass recqmmefldatioa today to a revision of the state usuary law already passed by tbe senate. Deputy revenue commissioner Larry Eppenbach said the committee that is giving "serious consideration" to establishing a 150 million fund so state banks can furnish short- term loans.

But committee members said It their feeling that the sharttfe of money in the state is for long-term loans and thus the governor's short-term proposal would do no good even if it were implemented. Here also was some speculation that the governor's announcement was an effort to persuade the committee to defer action on the bill. Currently, the interest rate on mortgage loans has a ceiling of eight per cent in Alaska.
