A 58,000 acre Redwoods National Park bill cleared Congress by voice vote and heads to President Johnson for signature. The compromise, backed by both chambers, would protect 28,000 acres of private land within the park, mostly along Redwood Creek and adjacent to Jedediah Smith State Park. Critics caution the private land purchase mechanism could set a jury trial precedent in price disputes, while supporters say it curbs logging inside park boundaries.
