WHALEN AND HUTCHINSON TO HEAD PARK SERVICE

RELATED CONTENT

President Carter's reputation for making praiseworthy appointments got another boost recently with the appointments of William Whalen -one-time General Manager of the well-managed Bay Area National Parks in California-as Director of the National Park Service, and Ira Hutchinson -former Director of the Gateway National Recreation Area in the New York Harbor area-as Deputy Director of the Park Service. Both of the above recreation areas are known for their easy accessibility by bus (a feature that has endeared them to nature-loving city dwellers without cars). FOE applauds Carter's choices and wishes Whalen and Hutchinson well.

NEWSBRIEFS

The League of Conservation Voters has awarded a perfect 100% to William Brodhead (Mich.), Ronald Dellums (Calif.), Andrew Maguire (ICJ.), Frederick Richmond (ICY.), and Pete Stark (Calif.) -all Democrats-in its annual rating of House members on environmental and energy issues . . . . On July 7, Publishers Paper Company of Oregon sprayed a group of protesters with the very poison (Tordon 101, a mixture of 2,4-D and picloram) the group had been protesting. Twelve people have become ill following the incident, and legal action against Publishers is expected . . . . Voters in Basel, Switzerland recently passed the first nuclear power referendum in Western Europe. A network of plants had been planned for the Basel area, but an ordinance now requires local officials to oppose construction of the power stations.

To become a member of Friends of the Earth-and receive their excellent publication, Not Man Apart, year round--remit $20 to FOE at 124 Spear, San Francisco, Calif. 94105.--MOTHER.
