BY the Associoted Press

MARISSA, ILL.,. Mar. 15.-Thirty
Illinois State policemen patrolled
the Green Diamond coal mine to-

stemming from a jurisdictional
dispute between two rival miner
unions.
After a few slugging incidents
yesterday. Sheriff A. A. Fischer Of

mine area. T. P. Sullivan, direc-
tor of the Illinois Department Of

LeoffIer Contract Renewed Due to Loan

as we'll as another $780, 900 to build
two miniature golf courses at
Anacostia and Langston.
Appropriation requests for the
construction work had been turned
down and this was the only way
to finance the facilities. Mr.. David
son said. When the commitment
was made to Mr.. Leoffler in 1947
it was a policy of the Interior
Department to allow park conces-
sionaires to advance money and
then give them first rights on the
renewal of contracts.
This policy has since been
changed, he admitted, but the
promise had been made to Mr.
Leoffler before the change.
Mr.. Davidson came to the de-
fense Of Mr.. Leoff1er's operation
of the courses. although he ad-
mitted some of the complaints
were justified.
Complaints Against Leoff1er.
The Recreation Board and
groups of golfers have complained
in the past that the greens tees
and fairways were in bad shape
and that Mr.. Leoff1er did not
spend enough money on mainte-
nance.
Mr. Leoffler's advances of more
than 100000 for the construction
work admittedly were the big bar
rier to any one else taking over
the operation of the courses. In
addition, according to his con-
tract. a new operator would have
to buy Mr.. Leoffler's equipment
and stock, which carries a book
value of $220,000. The actual
value would be set by a board OF
appraisers, however. if he ever
has to sell. Mr.. Leoffler also has
been spending about 100000 to
get the courses in shape for this
season.
1t all added up to a bill of about
$35O,00O.
Mr.. Davidson said he thought
the Recreation Board was quail
fed" to run the courses and would

be 'happy to deal with them. but
they will have to work out other
matters"
When asked by a reporter if he
meant by other matters the prob
lem of segregation, he answered
yes.
Segregation Issue Denied.
Recreation Board members deny
that segregation enters the picture
and pointed out they have stated
they would be willing. to operate
the courses under rules set by the
Interior Department. The Recre-
alton Board also claims that the
act creating the board in 1912 in
tended that it should operate all
recreational facilities in the Dis
trict, by agreement if the facility
was under jurisdiction of some
other agency.
The golf courses are located at
Anacostia, East Potomac, Fort Du-
pont, Laugston and Rock Creek
Also included are three miniature
golf courses and a driving range.
At the press conference Mr..
Davidson presented an outline
of the five-year improvement pro-
