NEED 30 YEARS TO 'LIFT' FACE OF UNCLE SAM Resources Board Receives Report on Altering Nation s Land. B'l S-rr<pp>-HVftfl Srmpvpcr MUnn" WASHINGTON. Jan. 11—A vast 30-year procram to "lift'’ Uncle Sams face by altering the us#* of hundreds of millions of acre's of land was mad* publir today by the land planning committee of the National Resources Board. The report., cited by the President m his address to Congress as a part of the pattern for recover/ projects, proposes the use of billions of dollars for land acquisition. I’ it one of four studies on which the resources board based its recent many-sided report Planning for a nearlv stabilized population of 139 millions in 1960, the commifee has found that for best use of the 1 093.000.000 aero- in the Uni'er} States belore 1960 ip should: Add 63 to 70 millions of acres of recreational lands and game refuges. Add 15 million acres to for°st lands, besides providing for Federal and State ownerships of an additional 173 million acres. Land Transfer Favored Retire 75 million acres of submarginal land over a period of 15 tears at an enmafed cost of *45onooon annually. The land might, be transferred to forest, park or game refuge use. Add 27 million acres (in addnion to making up for lands retired* to the area under cultivation, through ! irrigation, drainage, plowing of pastures and clearing new lands, in order to supply food for the 1960 population. Increase grazing lands by 11 million acres. Reduce the acreage of little or no use. through irrigation and drainage. bv at lea<* 22 million acres. Increase Indian lands by 25 million acres. Stop erosion on 125 million acr**s of misused land. Prevent the misuse of 415 million acres of range land now subiecfrd to depletion of cover, erosion and economic instability by private exploitation. Fewer R.ibiea. Less Pasturage The board's plan for land use # is based on requirements anticipated in Scripps Foundation studies of population trends and in studies by Thompson and Whelpton indicating that, with births now decreasing ion.non annually. America will reach a nearly stable population in 1960. For the present, population is increasing because of an added five-year life expectancy that offsets the declining birth rate. The fact that this circumstance is rc ulting m a greater proportion of old people is taken into consideration in the allotment of land to pasturage. Children drink more milk than adults. Hence, with an older population in 1960. less land will be required to supply pasturage for cows. Similarly wiih the planning of foresi. recreational and grazing lands, the probable demands of the 1960 population have been considered and a detailed plan for state and Federal acquisition mapped. Would Reverse Policy The whole program, if carried out. would m c an a complete reversal of the nation's land policy. In the past, it has been encouragement of the mast rapid settlement and private development. Under the land use committee plan, every Governmental function would be brought into play, it possible, to control the use of land for public welfare rather than private advantage. The land acquisition program is based on a charge of misuse by private owners of forests and grazing areas. Forests have been cut over and abandoned to the nazards of fire —with taxes permitted ;o remain permanently delinquent while the operators moved on to strip other areas. Three additional reports bv the committees of the board are to follow. General Strike Threatens Cuba B’t t • 4 r>-< HAVANA.

SIX MEASURES VETOED IN 1933 ARE UP AGAIN Bills Rejected*by McNutt Scheduled Once More for Vote. Echoes of the 1933 General Assembly today were heard in the House of Representatives when six bills, vetoed by Gov Paul V McNutt after the last session, were presented for reconsideration. The executive disapproval was upheld. The measures provided: 1. For three-member boards of trustees for schools in cities of more than 16.000 population and less than 18.000. This had been vetoed because the bill interfered with the terms of office of incumbent trustees. 2. Placing certain cities in the fifth class. The Governor held the art was unnecessary because of Chapter 529 of the Indiana statutes 3. For contract bonds in a penal sum equal to the contract price for all state, county and local governmental construction. The Governor pointed out the law now requires a bond for one and a half times the amount of the contract for highway construction. 4. Permitting the boards of trusters of Indiana State Prison. Indiana State Reformatory and Indiana State Farm to sell merchandise manufactured to the State. The objection was that the bill made no provisions for sales to local governmental units. 5. That townships between 20.000
