GRAVEL DIGGING,
 MERRILL FIEsD,
 iS RESTRAINED

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 1 - P- An order temporarily restrain ing four individuals from removing gravel from any part of Merrill Air field land previously staked as a mining claim was signed yesterday in Third District Court.
 The action was taken after the claimants, through Attorney Buell. Nesbett, had notified the Bureau of Land Management they intended to begin gravel operations May l even though their claims on land at this city's civilian airport had been de- clared null and void.
 Claims were filed by Alfred, Betty Jane and Laurence Lindemuth and Hewitt Lounsbuy last February. On April 19 the filings were declared invalid by Lowell Puckett, regional administrator for the Bureau Of Land Management, on grounds they were in conflict with the airport lease which the city of Anchorage holds on the land.
 Attorneys said the restraining cr- der would be in effect at least until results of Lindemuth's appeal to the Bureau of Land Management Director in Washington, D. C., are known.
 Tn a disposition, Assistant U. s. Attorney Ralph Moody said 'Fln- warranted use would affect seriously the surface use of airpors, land which is used in connecticut withydefense purposes, and silacs' Alaska is in a strategic area and availability of the airport i5 closely related to defense purposes, the need for removing encumbrances effect ing use of this land is readily ap- parent"

Hoyf Report Predicts
Big Employment Gain
In Washington Area

A substantial gain in private
employment in the Washington
area in the next 80 years is pre-
dicted in the Homer Hoyt eco
nomic survey. released in sum-
mary form Tuesday by the Ar
lington County Board.
1T cannot be reasonably an
ticipated, however" the survey re-
port says, that the same rate
of expansion in Federal employ
ment will take place in the next
II years as occurred under the
stimulus of the New Deal. World
War II and the defense prepara-
tions following the Korean war.
There appears to be little prob
ability that the number of Fed
eral employees will be curtailed
substantially in the next few years,
the report says.
Growth to Be Yess Rapid.
THE extraordinarily rapid rate
of population growth of the past
few decades cannot be projected
into the next few decades" the
Hoyt researchers assert.
Exceptional gains in Federal
employment in Washington are
unlikely because the factors of
economy in Government, decen-
tralization of Government agen-
cies or possible easing of the
world crisis will all be working
against further increases in Gov
ernment personnel in Washing
ton.
Prospects for moderate gains
in Federal jobs and substantial
increases in private employment

to the report. there is now op-
portunity for a further growth

Civil Defense Urges Identification Tag For All Civilians

Juneau-It was recommended recently by the Federal Civil De- fense Administration that every civilian in the United States and its territories wear an identifica- ton tag bearing his name and address, blood type, religion and the name and address of a per- son to be notified in case of in- jury or death.
 The FCDA recommends that the metal should be a corrosion- resisting steel, or chrome-iron type having a high melting point and which oxidizes slowly at high temperatures.
 The tag would serve not only to identify the injured or dead, but the mentally ill, shock and amnesia cases, and small children. It would facilitate medical atten- ton, help reunite families and be useful in legal claims of various kinds associated with damage to or destruction of life and prop erty.
 Colonel Landreth, Territorial Director of Civil Defense said, We are investigating the cost, type and size of the tag. Methods of distribution are also being studied.
 Just as quickly as this inform ation is received it will be made known to the public" Landreth said.
