Richard J. Welch (R-, chairman of the House Public Lands Committee, said in San Francisco last night hearings would be held September 16-17 at the Rosemary Inn in Olympic National Park on proposed legislation dealing with the park's timber resources. Welch said 11 or 12 members of the full committee were expected to attend the sessions, which tentatively had been scheduled to be held at Port Angeles, Wash. He expects to -fee present and will preside. One bill pending before the Public Lands he said, would, if enacted, result in reduction of the size of the park.

It proposes transfer of certain timber stands within the park to the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture so that it could be marketed commercially. The proposal, to permit the timber to fee sold commercially has drawn strong opposition from some quarters while others have endorsed it, Welch commented. Novelist's Kin Fails to Rally lira.

Dyer added that he doubted whether the Chinese lotteries would stop as a result of Chief Dullea's order, designed to make it unattractive for eastern racketeers to start operations in California.
