MiIitory Tokes Some
Atomic Age military require
ments have pre-empted some
choice ocean strands: the missile
base at Cape Canaveral, Fla, is an
example. Even if the need for
such sites passes, they will be of
little use recreationally, for their
beauty has already been spoiled by
human habitation. Once the
beach is touched by a bulldozer,
much of its scenic value is lost.
Other long stretches of strand
are lost to oil wells and mining
and chemical operations. AS was
recently pointed out in a story in
this section by Phil Yeager, there
are reports that the coastal and
gulf areas are being carefully
scrutinized by hundreds of firms
and individuals who are thinking
of further industrial invasion
when the mass conversion of sea
water to fresh water becomes
possible.
The demand for beachfront
property is skyrocketing as the
available footage dwindles. AS
recently as 1885 a Park Service
survey Of the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts found more than enough
unspoiled oceanfront to fill all
foreseeable recreational needs. 1t
recommended IL areas. totaling
437 miles. be set aside by the Gov
eminent for public use.
Missed Opportunity
Only one Of the sites actually
was acquired. Since then all the
others except one have passed to
private ownership. One of these
undeveloped areas, 80 miles long,
could have been purchased for
$260,000. or about $4,000 a mile.

1t is said that in Maryland poll
tics a weakness for beautiful
women. fast horses and rye
whiskey never cost a man a vote.
There are signs, however, that
a touch Of the puritan is coming
to the gay cavalier approach of
the Maryland gentleman poll
tician. The cause: The lncreas-
ingly loud whir and jangle Of slot
machines along the shores Of the
Potomac.
Some Of the States political
leaders feel that the current con-
troversy over casinos operating
under Maryland licenses just off
the Virginia shore is going to
be a continuing one and that it
could play a part in the next
election.
The issue was dramatized by the
three-day Potomac River cruise OF
the States Legislative Council on
Gov. McKeldin's yacht. Despite
the assertion by Senator Joseph
D. Mattingly. Democrat of st.
Marys County, that the cruise
was a McKeldin-sponsored wild
goose chase" there is increasing
evidence of political concern over
the whole liquor gambling situa-
ton along the river.
Gov. McKeldin touched of
the current controversy last May
when, on return from a trip
abroad, he learned Charles County
had approved liquor license for
the operators of the IS. S. Free
stone" a pleasure ship to be
anchored just off the Virginia
shore at Freestone Point, Va. Late
Friday. Charles County issued
licenses to cover an undisclosed
number of slot machines on the
ship, and the machines were moved
in by barge Friday night. The ship
Is anchored about 80 miles south
of Washington, which brings Vir-
GINA shore casino operations some
Is miles closer to the Capital
than they had been.
The Governor put in a tele-
phone call to Gov. Stanley of
Virginia and learned he did not
approve of the proposed wine.
dine. and dance establishment.
Virginia prohibits sale of liquor
by the drink. dispensing it only
through State-operated stores.
Slot machines also are illegal.

undeveloped, and each mile car
ried price tag Of $4,000.
Actually. not all of the 240
miles now in Federal and State
ownership are suitable for recrea-
tional purposes. More than half
of it is in three tracts, all of which
are of considerable distance from
population centers. The three are

tional Area in North Carolina,

Florida, and Acadia National Park
in Maine. Very little of this
beachfront is suitable for week.
end family outings.
The Park Service, noting that
almost every scenic beach from
Maine to Mexico that is easily
accessible has been either devel-
oped, acquired for development or
under consideration by developers,
urged that the Federal Govern
ment and the coastal States act
soon to save what is left for the
public. 1t recommended that
Federal. State and local govern
ments buy is per cent of the
shoreline for public recreational
purposes. This would mean the
purchase of several hundred
miles additional of beachfront,
since the 240 miles now in public
ownership represents only 6.5 per
cent of the coastline.
Recommended Areas
Those areas especially recon-
mended by the Park Service for
acquisition for public use are:
. Cumberland Island, Ga. a beau
tiful. unSpoiled sea island draped
in Spanish moss and abundant
with wildlife.
. The available areas Of the south
shore Of Long Island, including
the clean strand Of the Fire Island
area.
. The Great Beach area Of Cape
Cod, Mass. the longest beach in
New England.
Park Service officials wish that
other States had followed the ex-
ample Of Oregon. Almost a half
century ago Oregon reserved its
entire shoreline for public use.
Its legislature accomplished this
by the simple procedure of passing
a law declaring the Pacific shore
from the Columbia River south to
the California line to be public
highway" This placed the beach,
front in State ownership and out
OF the reach of private developers.
Today, the coast of Oregon is a
string of picnic grounds, camp
grounds and public bathing
beaches.
1t is too late now, of course. for
other States to save their shore
lines. for most of the mileage is
irretrievably lost. But the Park
Service says that should not dis
courage public acquisition Of the
few areas still available.

A half century ago, a man liv-
ing in the Eastern United States
could get closest to nature by
travelling to a remote ocean beach
touched only by the almost i'm
perceptible hand of time and tide.
There he might find the smell Of
the sea spray. the cry of the gull,
the salty breeze-and solitude.
Such a journey is becoming in
creasingly impossible today. OF
the 3,700 miles of Atlantic and
Gulf coastland, only 240 miles
remain as natures frontyard,
open to the public.
The remaining $3.50 miles be-
longs to somebody other than
the man seeking communion with
sand, surf and sky. It is a COM
pound of commercial resorts,
seaside chemical and industrial
plants, military reservations and
privately owned tracts well staked-
out with mo trespassing" signs.
The National Park Service,
whose survey uncovered the 240
miles of coastland still in public
ownership. is currently measuring
the Pacific Coast and the shores of
the Great Lakes. 1t expects the
survey will show, except in Ore
gon. much the same as was found
along the Atlantic and Gulf
Coasts.

Service report. has become big

hard to discover: Longer vaca-
tions, higher wages. superhigh-
ways.
Inaccessibility no longer pre-

seashore developer, so great has
become the demand for beach
property. Islands that only a few
years ago were known only to
the Coast Guard and a few
fishermen have been subdivided,
