McKay Answers
Criticism on Parks
From Neuberger
PORTLAND, Ore., UP)—The Re
publicans cannot be blamed for
any deterioration of national
parks, Secretary of Interior Mc
Kay said here Wednesday night
as he continued long-range feud
ing with Democratic Sen.-elect
Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon.
“There hasn’t been much deter
iation in the two years the Repub
licans have been in power. The
big deterioration came in 20 years
of Democratic administrations,”
the interior secretary told 500 per
sons at a Republican Club meet
ing.
McKay’s remarks were in an
swer to Neuberger’s statement at
a Chicago press conference that
the parks “have been allowed to
deteriorate shamefully under the
Republicans.”
This was a continuation of the
critical remarks the two ex
changed at long range in the re
cent campaign.
McKay said he believed the
parks will get more money soon
because of a planned national
road improvement program.
“The road program stands to
free other Interior Dept, money
for parks improvement and main
tenance,” he said.
Home for the holidays, McKay
said that after nearly two years in
office he has learned generally to
ignore political criticism. He said
his wife was more sensitive, but
he was trying to convert her to his
approach. “I tell her that when
she goes to bed she should just say
her prayers, tell everybody to go
to hell, and then go to sleep, as I
do,” he said.
