BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL GIVES REVIEW OF ALASKAN LAND LAWS

A review of land laws placed into effect during the past few years reveals that recurring state ments that land laws in Alaska date back to the Civil War days deserve a critical analysis, Bur eau of Land Management official in Anchorage said this week.
 Admittedly, changes for the better always can be made and some streamlining is advisable, but generally most of the older statutes have been modernized or usable substitutes have been en- acted, he said. The principal thing, to be said for the land laws in op' eration in Alaska is that stress is made on development-doing something with the land, it was pointed out.
 Congress in 1854 raised the area that may be held by one oil and gas lessee in Alaska from 15,360 acres to 100000 acres. The ren- tai per acre is 25 cents in Alaska, compared with 50 cents in the Continental United States. An other new law provides that the leasing of land for oil and gas development does not prevent the stalking of mining claims on the same land, if it is available otherwise. National Forests and Wild Life reservations are subject to oil and gas leases under certain circumstances.
 Provision was made by Con- gress this past year for non-pro- fit corporations, such as churches and Boy Scouts of America, to buy land for recreational and pub lie purposes. This same act al lows the Territory, municipalit- ies and other political subdivi sions to buy land for those pur- poses, too. An applicant is limit ed to the purchase of $40 acres each year The land must be used for the purpose indicated or it reverts to the United States.
 The land acquisition law which is most active in Alaska, the Small Tract Act, was given a beneficial change by Congress this year. Heretofore, homesites, cabin sites and business sites were restricted to surveyed land under this Act and as much less than

ficer of the Aeromedical Labra- tory at Ladd air force base. Dr. Hosley said the engineering sec ton will be handled by A. F. Ghiglione, commissioner of roads for Alaska.
 Brig. Gen. Earl Maxwell of the office of the surgeon, Elmendorf air force base, is organizing the sessions on medicine and public health. The physical science will be handled by Charles T. Genaux, assistant professor of chemistry at the university.
 "Dr. Margaret Lantis, anthro- pologist of the U. s. Department of health, education and welfare, consented to organize the social sciences section," Dr. Hosley said. He added that Dr. Lantis expects to be in Anchorage after Jan. 6, 1855.
The frontiersman., 1954-12-30

one per cent of Alaska has been surveyed, the law was restrictive. The new law permits unsurveyed land to be leased as small tracts and sold to the lessee after sur vey.
 A careful reading of the last two mentioned laws shows that lands in some withdrawals can be appropriated for recreational and public purposes as well as for small tracts.
 One big change in the home stead law was made. Korean vet erans are eligible for all veteran benefits but Congress decreed that ex-service men of World War II and Korea must cultivate one eighth of the land as must all other homesteaders. Again, this puts more emphasis on actual farming, which was the original purpose of the law.
 Reviewing a few laws in use in Alaska-if person wants to farm, he applies under the Home stead Law which, of course, is an oldtime statute being extended to Alaska in 1899 It's been amend ed numerous times but it still requires a farmer to farm and live on the land. It doesn't pro- vide for someone else to do the work or put up the money. A weakness in the law, the ELM of- ficial said, is that it doesn't pro- tect the inexperienced individual from homesteading worthless soil. Perhaps an amendment per hitting homesteading only on agricultural land is in, order.
 If a person wants to go into business, he has several acts to use The newest one is the Public Sale Act enacted in 1949 and per mits purchase of up to 160 acres at public auction. The Small Tract Act permits lease and then purchase of one tract of five acres or less at an appraised price. This Act was passed in 1888 and ex- tended to Alaska several years later. The Headquarters Site Act passed n 1884 gives the right of occupying any non-mineral, un- reserved public domain as a headquarters or business and per

to compel Internal Revenue agents

State Law which provides that pos

Introduction Of this measure was
prompted by the recent refusal Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau to
permit one of rs agents 10 testify
in a gambling conspiracy case IN
Miami. Florida Is the only state
at this time having such State
Law relative TO possession Of the
Federal Tax stamp. This was Flo
rida's contribution to local enforce
ment agencies in their attempt TO
stamp our Florida law enforce
ment officials, thus preventing Fed
erai Officials from refusing 10 tes-
tify IN the future.
The other bill your Congressman
introduced was one to insure con-
tinued support payments for chill.
dren by parents as directed by Sta
te Court order. At the present time,
even though q State Court might
order q parent to contribute to the
support Of his children, it Is pos
sible for a parent to fee to another
state, out Of jurisdiction Of that or
der, and thereby avoid payment.
The Lantaff Blu gives authority
to Federal District Courts to en-
force support orders Of q State
Court regardless Of where the pa
rent might have migrated. Every
individual has a natural, moral,
and social obligation to support his
children. The purpose of this bill
Is to prevent a parent from es.
Gaping this obligation. Passage Oh
the bill will prevent children from
suffering want or be made sub.

necessary buyden to the general
public and be themselves thereby

Cobb repeated. when he is UP in

said, "since he is a native octo-

at the December 30 meeting?"
"Yes."
Remember the story you wrote
about it the next day."
"Yes."
"And remember how that coun-
ty official came running over to
the Citizen office the next day?''
Cobb went on. HE was up in
