| 4TAL,LAHASSEE, e.
The federal governments sudden
interest in a part of the original
Everglades National Park in
South Florida, seems to be pri
marily for the purpose Of obtain
ing control over vast potential oil
rights, just as it has gone to
great lengths to obtain such con
tiol over the off shore oil sec
tons of California. according to
a statement made by Attorney
General J. Tom Watson. before a
subcommittee of the House in
Washington.
The attorney general said he
was not opposing creation OF q
national park in South Florida,
but sought to preserve the states
oil rights in several hundred
thousand acres of state lands
which other members of the
state board Of trustees of the In
ternal Improvement Fund were
deciding to the federal govern

A radical departure from
original park plans was question
ed by Watson, as indicating u
plan on the part of the federal
government to take control over
valuable oil lands recently dis
covered in South Florida.
The attorney general queS-
toned the states release to the
federal government valuable
state oil rights on $4,000 acres
of Everglades land, of which no.
900 acres are not included in the
park at all. He also questioned
the departure from the original
plan of vesting the powers of
eminent domain in the federal
government to condemn and take
land included in the park area,
when such was not originally
planned He branded as false the
