Civil War Battle
Site In Johnston
May Become Park

Washington, Nov 3.-(AP)-Park
service officials said today revival
of plans to establish a national mil
itary park on the site Of the Civil
War battle of Bentonville, in John
ston county, N c., depended upon
development of a movement to do
nate land to the government.
They pointed out that the site was
placed on the park services approx
ed list two years ago, but that it
was the agency's policy to await
land donation-either through ac-
QUESTION by private or local public
sources-before undertaking to de-
|velop such areas as national shrines.
A. D. Demaray, assistant park di-
rector, explained that the budget
bureau frowned on approving ap-
preparations of Federal funds to &C
quire land for such purposes, it be-
ing customary for the land to be do
mated to the government.
Representative Harold Cooley, of
Nashville, in whose district the area
is located who led the movement to
place the site on the approved list,
expressed hope Of its ultimate de-
velopment He pointed out that in
some cases years are required to
bring about Federal development of
historical sites, speed depending up
on local agitation to acquire land.
The Battle Of Bentonville, a fierce
encounter in the War Between the
States, was one of the last fought in
the conflict, preceding shortly the
southern surrender at Appomattox,

Washington, July 12.-(AP)-The
House Ways and Means Committee
voted today to sidetrack until next
session legislation to prohibit future
issuance of taX-eXempt securities
and to reduce surtaxes on Individual

feres with the government tax sys-

that while SurtaXeS on individual

cent, investors were inclined to put
their money in tax exempt bonds
rather than risk it in venturesome
enterprises.
