28 THEE SAS UID Ue BrOINeeeb esi hrerie Gee 
by President Lyndcn Johnson after herculean work by former Senator Paul 
H. Douglas; Big Thicket National Park in Texas — possibly the last home 
of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker — is still a dream, while the Texas lumber 
interests work to prevent passage of legislation and exploit the land. 
The Redwoods National Park in California is still inadequate. A nation 
which has made an ecological disaster of Vietnam and now proposes to 
spend an additional billion dollars to “end” the war in that unhappy little 
nation, and which spends almost $79 billion annually for the military, is 
unwilling or unable to spend adequate funds to preserve some of the 
greatest groves of trees known to mankind. In Hawaii, the National Park 
Service, under George Hartzog, defends the existence of a large goat popu- 
lation despite the fact that the herd is destroying native vegetation and 
wildlife in the park. 
THE RECENT ESTABLISHMENT of Canyonlands and the North Cas- 
cades National Parks, have only come about through the dedicated, tireless 
work of thousands of citizens across this land. It has ever been thus. It 
took two years to establish the magnificent Glacier National Park. 
The management of the park service must be thoroughly examined 
by the next Congress and the next Administration. We doubt very much 
that Hartzog and company will be very self-critical at the Yellowstone 
Conference this fall. It is an obligation of an informed citizenry to apply 
the needed pressure. If it fails, the dream will surely fade.
