Black Hills Forest Industries, particularly, predicted that If the regulations as proposed go into effect, smaller firms, and even some larger mills, could be forced to close because the technology is not yet available to bring their tepee burners into compliance. Charles R. Arment, consulting forester with the Western Wood Products Association of Denver, one of eight persons describing the forest industry's problem, said every mill would RENNER, S.

Specifically, the forest Industries urged a special section be added to the South Dakota regulations to account for the special problems of tepee burners. Larry Burtzlaff of Wheeler Lumber Division of St. Regis Paper emphasized that while wood smoke is a nuisance and highly visible, it is not a toxic pollutant and is composed largely of water wapor.

The stringency of South Dakota proposals is far in excess of wood smoke's role as an air pollutant, several persons stressed. Black Hills mills must compete with in other states with mucy less severe controls, it was repeatedly stated. Todd, Black Hills National Forest staff officer, added that although there may be alternatives to fire in the future, it is now a valuable tool in forest management, as in disposing of -logging slash during necessary timber harvest. He suggested the state might revise its regulations to base open burning restrictions on smoke dispersal conditions rather than simply time of day. Dr.

Robert Gartner, South Dakota State University, also asked the commission to include controlled burning research and SDSU among exemptions in rules on open fires. He also noted research on wood residue uses, such as in livestock feeding, soil conditioners'in combination with human or livestock wastes and as a soil stabilizer in place of hay. Gartner went on to suggest the commission relate to broad range air quality problems, such as radiation and soil and dust pollution resulting from poor farming, highway construction and real estate development. Provisions against degrading existing air quality was a concern of Hoadley Dean, president of Western South Dakota Development Co. This could endanger efforts to attract new business, he said, recommending the state follow federal guidelines in the question of non-degradation of ambient air quality.

Main Mitchell by calling today's vote "the paramount moral vote of the session." Some of. the steam may have been taken out of the Republican opposition by the 63-17 vote for the bill in the Senate last week. Twenty-seven Republi cans supported it, including the top GOP leaders.

The chief target of House opponents is the proposed child- development program, which would provide a full range of educational, nutritional and medical services for pre-school children of working mothers. The services would he free for children from families with incomes under $4,300. Fees based on sliding scale according to Income would be charged other families. All families would be eligible for the program. The bill authorizes $100 million this year to set up the program and $2 billion for the fiscal year starting July to put It in operation.

If fully funded, which is unlikely in view of the Nixon administration's opposition, it would take care of about two million of the estimated six million pre-school children of working mothers. Besides potential costs of the program, the administration objects to a provision giving local communities top priority in operating child-development centers. It wants the states to have control. There also Is fierce opposition from conservative Republicans and Democrats to the whole nf program, they charge it wouid undermine ths role of the family and subject children to nodal experimentation. The fight over the chlld-de.

velopment program has ob. scured another major innovation in the bill: creation of an independent corporation to take over the program now run by the Office of Economic Opportunity. The bill authorizes $1.9 billion for the OEO for fiscal 1972 and 1973 to continue its various an- Upoverty programs, $1,4 billion for job training and neighborhood youth services and $500 million to operate Head Start until it Is absorbed Into the new child-development program.
