discuss the potentialities.
Most of the opposition to ex-
tending the parks boundaries
came from owners of land in the

chase by condemnation or negotia.
ton and addition to the park on
the Gulf Coast and from interests
in the Miami-Homestead area on
the other side of the park.
They argued the park is big
enough-even too big-already.
Nothing New
They said the West Coast ex.
panSion area contains no attraction
that can't be found elsewhere in
the park, that the public will lose
hunting grounds, counties will lose
taxable lands and have to increase
other property taxes, and the state
will need the land in the future
for agriculture and residential de.
velopment.
Holland recalled the state didn't
give up its right to the oil, but
just the right to lease, on the 425,.
600 acres it donated.
He added he felt confident that
if the nation needs oil in the future
tapping of reserves in national
parks will be permitted, but he
saw no reason for exploiting them
now when "oil is a drug ON the
market"
Everglades is the only park on
which oil drilling is allowed. That
is because much of the area was
under lease when the park was
established.
Holland said "the state was the
aggresSor" in many of the negotia.
tons to get the park established
and it knew it was giving up its
oil leasing rights to get the park
created.
He said he would cooperate in
getting congressional authority for
the state to reserve oil rights on
any lands acquired in the future.
Much Of the land already is under
oil lease.
Wirth, while emphasizing the
tourist business was considered
only "by-product" of a national
park set up to preserve unique
territories, said the Everglades
Parks 2O6, 900 visitors brought four
to six million dollars in spending
money to the state last year and
chats just the beginning"
He told Johns the park service
has no plans for road through
the park to link up the east and
west coast sections but it did need
the 81, 900 acre northwestern adj
dition to round out the attractions
and make possible an inland water
route from the West Coast to the
east.

French Report
Beating Back
OF Besiegers
Union Defenders
Claim Staying IFS
Vietminh Rebels

HANOI, Indochina IN - The be-
leaguered French Union defend
ers of Diem Bien Phu reported to-
day they had beaten back a sharp
Vietminh attack on one of their
battalions and claimed they killed
ITS of the rebels.
The clash yesterday was the
hardest fighting reported in q week
from the besieged fortress in
northwest Indochina but nowhere
near on the scale of the initial all
out onslaught in which the French
claimed they killed 5000 Of the
Communicated rebels and wound
ed another 5000.
The French army commander
here said the rebels attacked on
the road linking the heart Of the
Diem Bien Phu Notifications with
the southernmost outpost Of the
French-held plain.
The Vietminh made a bold ef-
fort to wipe out a French Union
battalion moving from the center
Of the fortress to join another bat
talon coming up from the south.
French tanks and mobile units
joined the infantry and artillery
to quickly smash the rebel at
tempt.
Only patrol actions have been
reported since the rebels broke off
their initial mass assaults - first
OF the seven-year Indochina war
late last Tuesday. But the Wet
mini, dug into the hills ringing
the dusty plain of Diem Bien Phu,
continued ceaseless artillery bonn
bardment of the fortress.
The rebels, meanwhile, stepped
up harassing guerrilla attacks on
vital French lines of communica-
tons in the Red River delta in an
obvious effort to divert attention
from their feverish preparations
for new mass assaults On Diem
Bien Phu.

Flying Saucer
Reports Are
Around Again
BY VERN HAUGLAND
AP Aviation Reporter

WASHINGTON Up. - A spokes-
man today termed without basis
an assertion that the Air Force
has recovered hunks of Flying
saucers and just isn't telling the
public about them.
The Air Force position, he said,
is that "given enough factual
data" every Flying saucer" re-
port over the last six years could
be explained in natural, earthly,
conversational terms.
''We don't think the so-called
saucers come from outer space or
from a foreign government" the
spokesman said.
Bill Nash, a Pan American
World Anyways pilot, told the
Greater Miami Aviation Assn. re-
Gently he was convinced that "the'
Air Force has collected hardware
from outer space"
81 do not believe the Air Force
cares to make all its findings pub
Lie so long as the United States is
threatened by unfriendly powers"
Nash said.
Nash was quoted as having re-
ported sighting unidentified OBJ
jects while flying from New York
to Miami on date not specified.
He said he and his crew saw
six objects, later joined by two
others, and the lights from them
were 40 times brighter than those
of Norfolk and Newport News"
Va, near where the alleged sight
Ing was made.
"From their maneuvers, there
is no doubt in my mind these OBJ
jects were controlled by intelligent
beings" he said. when you have
seen them, you realize they were
not made on this planet"
The Pentagon officer currently
handling saucer" queries said
that to date more than 80 per cent
of the sightings - both visual and
by radar - have been identified
as of known objects. He said from
10 TO Is per cent have been out
right hoaxes.
1.-THE others probably could be
explained If our knowledge of
physics was greater" he said.
There are many things about the
sky that science still doesn't I'M
derstand."
