Need for Preservation
"And when you consider the
Importance Of this battle. it
makes you wonder that the
battlefield faces such a crisis
today" lamented Harry w.
Doust. Antietam superintend-
ent.
A 30-year veteran Of the
Park Service who served as a
forest ranger from Mt. Rainier
to the hills of Virginia. Mr..
DouSt declared:
I'VE don't want to buy all
the battlefield: that would cost
entirely too much. What we
need are some hundreds Of
acres where the main fighting
occurred.
There's no use thinking
about getting donated funds.
Why, the only donation we've
had to this park was the Old
Dunkard Church site where
c considerable fighting took
place. by the Washington
County Historical Society.
He stopped the car and
pointed toward q monument in
the distance. towering over the
hillsides in honor Of the Antie-
tam dead. Directly in front Of
the stone shaft lay q pile Of
battered automobiles. awaiting
further ACKNOWLEDGMENT at Q
garage nearby.
This pretty well sums up
the situation here" said the
superintendent. Something's
got to be done, or the whole
battlefield will be hidden by
houses, hot dog stands. and

at the junk heap.

Park Service want the sit
state as a public shrine. But
they say 1t will be lost, unless
the Federal Government acts
quickly.
Encroaching on the field of
combat are waves Of buildings,
billboards and other marks of
advancing suburbia.
Although the site is still
mostly farmland, as it was
when Generals Lee and Nc
Clellan met head-on here 95I
years ago Tuesday, its pro-
tectors fear 1t may be overrun
soon with gas stations. restau-
rants and housing develop
ments.
UNLESS the Government
buys more land there. subdi-
viders will step in and put up
houses where one of the most
significant battles Of the Civil
War took place" declared Roy
Appleman, q National Park
Service historian who is inter-
ested in the fate Of Antietam.
THE War Department, when
1t took over the battlefield sites,
tried to acquire blocks of land
encompassing most. If not all.
of the fields Of combat. 1t did
exactly that at Shiloh, Chick
amauga and to q great extent
at Gettysburg.
Only = Roadway
at Antietam, however, they
got only what amounted to a
roadway, running through the
heart Of the battle-ground.
when the Park Service took
over the sites in 1888. that's all
we inherited-that narrow
roadway.
I'VE couldn't buy any more
land there, because in the Act
transferring the battle11elds to
the Park Service there was q
provision that only donated
money could be used to buy
land at Antietam.
This applied exclusively to
Antietam, for what reason /
don't know. Anyway. the law
has stood for years. and since
we haven't had any large dona-
tons. we have been unable TO
acquire the farms where the
fighting actually took place.
Now there is an incipient
real estate boom on the road
from Hagerstown extending
onto the battlefield. Many
residents Of Hagerstown. q fast
growing city. are moving
farther into the country. and
the battlefield is squarely in
their path"
To preserve Antietam. Sen
ators Butler and Beall, Repub-
licans Of Maryland. have
sponsored q bill to remove the
law blocking expansion Of the
site.
The bill failed to come out Of
the Senate Interior Committee
during the latest Congress. but
Mr.. Appleman and his Park
Service colleagues have high
hopes for it in the next legis-
lative session.
Four Claims 70 Fame
Historians, who unanimously
consider Antietam one Of the
major battles Of the war, have
agreed generally that 1t has
four claims to fame:

pointed him.

Panel Urges
2 Cities Share
In Watershed
Agree Baltimore,
Washington Enjoy
Potomac Benefits
BY JOHN w. STEPP
Star stan Correspondent

CACAPON STATE PARK,
w. Va. Sept. 1.-THE Balti-
more Metropolitan area should
share with Metropolitan Wash
ington in the planning and de-
velopment Of the Potomac wa
tershed for recreation purposes.
A panel discussion group
m a de this recommendation
here today at the closing ses-
sion Of the two-day autumn
meeting Of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin.
The panel consisted Of DR..
John H. Cover. director Of the
Bureau of Business and Eco
nomic Research Of the Univer-
sity of Maryland; Victor Ro-
terus. director of the Once of
Area Development, Department
Iof Commerce. and DIR. Joseph
Fisher. associate director Of
Resources for the Future, Inc.
Pittsburgh May Share
The speakers agreed that
despite the fact that Baltimore
lies well outside the limits Of
the Potomac watershed, 1t is
geographically closer than
Washington to many parts Of
1t. BY the same token, Pitts
burgh might even enter into
the picture. since that city lies
considerably closer to the west
eminent end Of the Potomac
than either Washington or
Baltimore. 1t was suggested.
Residents from all three me-
tropolises. in any case. have
been enjoying the fishing. hunt
ing and other natural aspects
of the lands and waters of the
Potomac for years. They
should share in future develop
ment Of the rivers attractions
on "humanshed" rather than
a watershed basis, the panelists
agreed.
One Of the unique features OF
the valley is its compactness.
variety and availability to so
many areas Of the East, DR..
Cover pointed out. In that re-
spect it has a marked advan-
tage over other river valleys
such as those Of the Midwest
and Far West. where vast dis
tances must be travelled to en-
Joy the full variety Of the
streams attractions.
Recommendations Anticipated
1t was announced meanwhile
that the Commission will re-
lease its recommendations Fri
day on whether its functions
should be expanded to include
interstate law enforcement
powers. The organization now
serves only in an advisory and
educational capacity. Its report
viii be based on the findings
Of q special committee which
consulted water and health
officials Of the 11ve member
Jurisdictions to determine SEN
timent on that point, and on
the question of whether the
Commission should be provided
q bigger budget.
The Friday meeting Of the
Commission members repre-
senting Maryland. the District
Of Columbia. West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Virginia has
been scheduled in lieu Of any
business session during the
two-day meeting just ended.
Other financial matters will
be taken up at that time.
1t was further disclosed today
that the Congratulated report
on possible solutions to WASH
ington area pollution problems
will be ready about october /.
The findings are being prepared
by the eminent sanitary engi-
neer. DR.. Abel Welman.
