Average Sportsman
 Spends S279 per Year For Hunting, Fishing

Alaska's Fish and Wildlife re- sources bring an estimated $115 million to the territory annually, an income second only to govern ment spending.
 Of this amount $1212 million was spent Oh hunting and fishing in 1952-53 and by 195354 this amount had risen to over $16 million.
 These figures dealing with Al aSka were released this week in a booklet titled ''Wildlife in the Economy of Alaska, written by Dr. John L. Buckley, leader of the Alaska Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Alaska. Dr. Buckley wrote the booklet to answer the recurrent question: How important is fish and wildlife in Alaskan"
 Dr. Buckley's research shows that non-residents spent $31a mil lion hunting and fishing in Alas ka during 1951-52. Residents spent the remaining $9 million. The amounts have increased sub- stantially since that time These figures are exclusive of license fees. Over half of this total, ST million, was spent in the third Judicial division; $3 million in the fourth division; $1 3/4 million in the first, and the balance in the second.
 Research indicates the average amount each resident license hold CT spends annually is $294.58, the largest per capita expenditure for any area in which studies have been carried out. Washington State license holders for example, spend an average of $200 per year.
 The average license buyer, in cluding both residents and non- residents, spends $297.16 and 16.6 days in sports activities annually. This expenditure of time and money nets him an average of lO4 pounds of big game, IA pounds of small game, four pounds of water fowl and an undetermined amount of fish. More than half the expenditures of time and money are on fishing.
 The illustrated booklet contains many more figures concerning the impact of wildlife on the econ ony of the territory.

Editors note:
 The following report. by Alma J. Bluncl. legislative chairman of the Palmer Education Association. was submitted in response to many inquiries made by interest ed persons.
 Proposed Teachers Retirement
 Law
 Palmer Education Association is proud of its share in the survey of the Teachers Retirement Sys- tenn. This study extended over period of two years under the able leadership of Barbara Smart, former legislative chairman of P. K. A.
 During the 1854 Regional Con- ference at Anchorage, John Da- pcevich, secretary of the Teach CTS Retirement System of Alaska, met with interested teachers to discuss revision. A survey was conducted by the Alaska Educa- ton Association. Members voted in favor of the proposed plan
 MT. Dapcevich flew to Wash ington, D. c. where he secured the services of the Chief Actuary of the United States Health, Education, and Welfare. The pro- posed law was set up without cost to the territory or teachers, with exception of transportation. We feel, indeed fortunate to have ob- tained this service and the secur- ity that the proposed law is actu- arially sound. The present law is actuarially unsound.
 So many people have worked very hard on the new proposed Teachers Retirement Law. It will be introduced in the Territorial Legislature about February 16. This is your opportunity to help give security to your teachers. Send a letter or wire to your leg islators.

|. LOS ANGELES, April Is (R.-
The formation Of the American
Plain Talk Party was announced
yesterday. Its hackers. mostly
retired California businessmen
and Texas oilmen, said they plan
a Nationwide organization.
Alexandria D. Williamson, 81,
a retired public accountant of
Los Angeles, was named as the
party's candidate for President
in 1856.
The party stated its purpose
was to promote enlightened self
interest. end "give-away" foreign
programs. cut the budget and
get Government out of business.
The party's statement also
said: I'VE will ask the Congress
to supply each of the large

u. Holdings
In D. {. Exceed
S631..2 Million

The United States owns tax
free properties in the District
that originally cost more than
$631.2 million. according to a
report released today by the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee.
The actual value of the Fed
eral holdings here is very much
higher than even this stagger-
ing figure, however. The in
yentory report was based on
actual cost at the time of land
acquisition or construction OF
improvements. some years ago,
rather than on the current ap-
praised value or with any trans
lation of the change in the value
of the dollar.
The summary came out as a
part of a comprehensive Fed
eral holdings inventory covering
the entire country. It is the first
one made in 18 years and is said
to be the most complete ever
made.
It was compiled by the Cen
eral Services Administration at
the direction of the Senate COM
mittee which plans to have it
kept up to date annually.
Ready Reference List
The purpose is to let Congress
and the executive branch know
what Uncle Sam owns and
where. and of what type and
what 1t Is supposed to be used
for.
The hope. expressed by Sen
ate Committee Chairman Hay
den, is that it will lead to the
disposal and return to the tax
rolls of States or cities of I'M
needed properties.
On the national picture, the
GSA survey says that the United
States holds Federal properties
representing an acquisition cost
Of 1902 billion. This is the cost
of Federal holdings acquired as
far back at 1889 and still in
Federal ownership. The cutoff
date for the inventory was the
end of 1858. Large acquisitions.
of course, have been made since
then.
The inventory excluded vari-
GUS items such as land in the
public domain, lands withdrawn
for national parks. forests and
for conservation uses and his
torical sites acquired other than
by purchases.
With these qualifications, the
inventory showed that the United
States owns about 81 per cent
of the Nations continental land
area.
The report showed that the
Federal Government owns land
in every State. ranging from
about $4,000 acres each in Con-
nect'cut and Rhode Island to
more than 81 million acres in
Nevada. 1t showed there were
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-13

/ about 1000 acres OF Feoerauy-
owred land In the District.
The total cost of Federal build
ings as of the end of 1858 was
placed at $144 billion. Of which
So DILLON, or 55.5 per cent was
located in 10 States and the
District.
Under the conditions stated,
the GSA report shows that the
United States holds 1927 acres
of the District land area. or 1873
per cent. This is far below he
amount frequently reported tor
the current year by calculations
made by District Government
officials. They say the extent Of
Federal holdings here is 42.S
per cent.
Senate officials say this dis
crepancy is a matter of deflni-
ton rather than mathematics.
They explain that the GSA re-
port includes streets and high
ways in the District which are
in Federal title. District officials
explain that in their calculation
of the per cent of Federal hold
ings here they exclude all streets
and highways because some are
in District title and some in the
name of Uncle Sam, even though
the city builds and maintains
these same streets.
Dates Cause Differences
The effective dates Of the
Federal and District reports on
this subject also would affect the
picture.
Considering the GSA. report
on it's own basis. however, it
shows that the United States
has 234 installations" here, out
of a total of 11.493 over the
country. In Maryland, the re-
port showed 223; in Virginia.
348. AS against the reported orig
inal cost of those in tire District
at $631, 258,000, the inventory
showed that Maryland had Fed
eral holdings of $8368 million
and Virginia, STA billion.
The report also shows that on
the basis stated. the United
States owns property on or near
Capitol Hill that cost more than
$108.6 million. This includes 143
acres on Capitol Hill bought for
$13.6 million, construction of
buildings on Capitol Hill, in
Guiding the Capitol. the Senate
Office Building the Old and
New House Office Buildings, the
Legislative Garage and a labo-
ratory used as a field Office, built
at a cost of $48.5 million.
In addition, there is listed a
six-acre power plant with a con-
struction cost Of $12 million;
the Library of Congress. with a
site of Is acres, STA million. and
buildings that cost $19 million.
Also, the report says that the
33-acre site of the Botanic Gar
den cost 1891, 900 and its build
ings more than 81 million; that
the 8-acre site of the Supreme
Court cost SIT million and the
Supreme Court Building 1913
million. Included also was the
United States Court Of Claims,
! whose half acre site cost $780,
600 and the building $245,000.

The Swiss government replied
today to Romania with formal
apologies for the attack and the
death of the chauffeur. But
Switzerland's note to the foreign
Office in Bucharest protested
the "unseemly tone" of the
Roma.lian communication and
rejected its "unjustified accusa-
tions" that the Swiss had not
acted with enough speed or
vigor.
The Socialist press service Of
Switzerland, quoting reliable
sources, reported that the in
vaders had found documents in
the legation which showed that
it was "a spy center against the
Swiss" !"
Tass Charges Swiss Completely.
In Moscow the Soviet news
agency Tass said the attack was
carried out "under the auspices"
of Swiss authorities. The Tass
article said the seizure was made
possible because OF the passive
attitude" of Swiss authorities
and obvious encouragement
from the fascist scum among
Romanian emigrants. Bern Po-

said yesterday the band appar-
emily had slipped across the

Paris Agreements

Italian Ambassador Maulio
BrGsio anticipates ratification by
Italy of the Paris agreements on
rearming Germany in March.
Mr.. Brosio, addressing the
America Italy Society in New
York last night, said that Italy
is convinced that ratification is
''the best way to safeguard peace,
to avoid the rebirth of German
militarism, and to pave the way
toward q fruitful discussion with
Soviet Russia of a general settle
ment on reasonable and honor
able bases ;"
Quite Determined
He said the italian govern
ment is quite determined to
push through ratification as soon
as possible. pointing out that the
Chamber has already approved
them and the ratification law
is now before a joint committee
of the Senate. I'VE look for
ward to a final ratification early
in March," he said.
European unity, Mr.. Brosio
said, is the main aim of Italian
foreign policy. He added that
many Italians would have liked
speedier progress on political
and economic integration of
Europe than the Western Euro
pean Organization will provide.
Hopes for French Action.
'But we have realistically and
loyalty accepted W.E.O. as it
is" he said, "since we are con-
vinced it is a good step and we
are ready to support, to
strengthen and to develop this
action in all possible ways"
He also said Italy is confident
that whatever government
France sets up will consider rati-
flcation one of its first respon-
sibilities.
