"He has taken a very aggressive stand" in efforts to reduce the "overstocked" forests and their susceptibility to disease, insects and fire, Olson said of Henson.

The timber industry supports the Forest Service's traditional stance of cutting -to thin trees in the forests, although environmentalists say the policies are designed to turn the forests into "tree farms" for industry at taxpayers expense. Environmentalists contend that the multiple-use policies of the Forest Service too often have been geared to the single use of the timber industry and are hoping that Thomas will focus on protecting wildlife and the natural environment. Tod Hull, vice president of Applied Ecosystem Management, an environmental-consulting firm to the timber and cattle industry and governments, said the opposition by environmental groups to the regional Forest Service officers is predictable. "It was just a matter of time because they (Henson and Carpenter) are pro-multiple-use, and all the environmentalists are pro-preservation," said Hull, a former biologist for Kaibab Industries. FOREST SERVICE, from page Bl board-foot is a square-foot piece of wood 1 inch thick.

"Ostracized" a Forest Service biologist after "evidence increasingly showed the negative effects of the region's extensive timber harvesting on the survival of the northern goshawk." In a separate document, Sam Hitt, director of Forest Guardians, a Sante Fe-based conservation group, "noted the racist attitudes toward Native American firefighters that have gone unchecked in the Southwest region." Hcnson said he was especially hurt by references that he has somehow allowed racism against Indian forest-fire firefighters. "That is totally false and totally misrepresents my efforts as regional forester to improve our relations with American Indians," said Henson, who has assigned personnel to meet with all 48 tribes in the Southwest. Henson said the alleged theft in the Kaibab National Forest happened before he was appointed head of the Southwestern region in February 1992. In any event, the missing timber was detected by Forest Service personnel, and findings were turned over to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Although the change is more than a year away, West said it wanted to send an early warning to its customers so they could prepare for the switch. "By letting people know as early as possible, and by impacting a minority of customers, we hope to minimize the disruption," Ott said.

Customers will have to change advertisements, stationery, business cards and other printed materials that include telephone numbers. Also, speed-dialing telephones will have to be reprogrammed, and some PBX systems and other equipment used by businesses will have to be reset so they can recognize the new area code. Ott said callers will be given a four-month grace period for using the new area code once the change becomes effective in 1995. During the March-to-June period, both the 520 and 602 codes will connect calls made to telephones in the area with the new area code. NEW, from page Bl retain the existing 602 area code because more than 60 percent of the state's population lives there, thus fewer people would be inconvenienced by the change.

The decision to split the state between metropolitan Phoenix and the remainder of the state was made by a coalition of officials from US West, and independent long-distance and cellular-telephone companies that have operations in Arizona, he said. The addition of an area code will not change the rates that West charges for making calls from the Valley to other parts of the state, said David Banks, West's media-relations manager. However, he said the company has a rate proposal before the Arizona Corporation Commission that includes a combination of both higher and lower long-distance rates for in-state calls.
