Forests this year.
Ha aaid thia waa indicated by the
reports he had received from hto
State Foresters, and also from the
fact that hi department during the
past four years had closely cooperated with the Game Commission ta
maintaining the game population ia
area* under bto jurisdiction.
In some instances, he pointed oat,
certain amounts of forest growth
have necessarily been sacrificed la
order that an adequate amount of
game could be maintained.
"When the game increases to a
point where the forests become deteriorated, and are insufficient to
supply tb* game with food, then ta
the best interest of the game population , a natural balance must be
attained," he said.
"It would be unfair to the recreational rights of onr citizens to
advocates any system of forest
management that would not encourage the . production of game,
but it is not fair nor wise to adopt
a practice of game management
which provides sport for one class
of hunter and denies it to the other.
Forest management and game
management must go hand in hand
in the administration of forested
areas."
The present policy of the depart-
men ef Forests and Waters, with
respect to the administration of
forest land for State Forest purposes, is that forests are to be
managed not only fer the production of wood hot also to control
floods, to provide good hunting and
fishing, and to afford health centers
far outdoor recreation far aU citisens of the Commonwealth. Wholesome recreation ta a wall balanced
program  of forest administration.

OF INTEREST TO TRUCKERS
The  Public    Utility    Commission j
today acted    to protect   the   small
one-truck   operator  from   extortion.]
ate insuranco rates   allegedly   being 1
charged truckers    in -the Pittsburgh
area when by letter   it warned five
Pittsburgh  insurance   companies that
unless  they    immediately    readjust,
their    rates    downward,    the  Commission will exempt track operators ,
of this class from    its insurance requirements.
The companies are. Maryland
Casualty Company, Fidelity Guaranty and Fire C.rporation, Eureka
Casualty Company, Edward-George
Compear, and Mahler and Company j
While the warning was directed
particularly to these companies, the ■
Commission stated that all other
companies that have boosted rates
can  consider themseives  included.
Complaint had been made to th* ;:
Commission    that  these     insurance
companies are taking advantage of I
the Commission's insurance require- j
ments to extort unreasonable insurance rates from    truckers.    Present
rules    of the    Commission   require
truckers    to carry    public • liability,;
property damage and,   ta most topi
stances, cargo insurance.
Particular complaint had beea
made in the Pittsburgh area th*
rata fer public liability of $6,009
and 910,900 and property
of $5000 -for dump trucks,
until adoption of the present
lie Utility Law was $91, haa
increased to $199.
