PAGE EIGHT Ruling Frees Many Alaska Land Claims Hundreds of Alaska land claims, | now tied up, will be freed by the| new order from the Department of Interior announced yesterday, ac-| cording to Lyle Jones, acting re-| gio; chief of the Division of En- gineers, Buréau of Lard Manage- ment The measure told of new rules ap- plying to the reserving of roadbanks by the United States along all Alaska highways and lesser roads. The former law which applied, Jones said, was enacted in 1949 and called for withdrawals along nearly | all the roads in Alaska. The new | ruling frees many of the roads from | the withdrawal clause and ease-! ments will be applied in these cases. ! The fact that easements, instead | of withdrawals, are to be reserved will allow public land entry with- out official survey to segregate| these road right-of-ways on public lands, Jones said. But he pointed out that this would be true only on land along roads where the status has been changed by the new | directive, ‘and in’areas which have been surveyed under the rectangular cystem. Jones said that hundreds of Jand clams are waiting patent because of the withdrawal clause of the| Air Force Light Bomber Wing To Go fo France WASHINGTON, Oct. 25—(P—The Air Force said today the 126th light bomber wing will leave soon | for France. The unit, | bombers, is a former air national guard wing made up of squadrons from Illinois and Missouri. It will be the first regular U. S. Air Force unit to be stationed in France since World War II, a spok- esman said. It is composed of about 1,600 officers and men and equipped with 48 planes. The 126th 'will be stationed M Bordeaux in southern France. The Air Force aleady has three fighter and two troop carrier wings in Europe under command of Lt. Gen. Lauris Norstad, allied air com- !mander under Gen. Dwight D. | Eisenhower. 'Plane Crashes, Piloi Walks Away, Eafs Heartily SALEM, Ore, Oct. 25—P—A flaming airplane crashed in the yard of a farm house yesterday. Minutes later the pilot was having lunch with the calm farm family. First Lt. Clarence Burke, 26, 1949 Department .of - Interier—iaw bailed out—whemr—his—F=t1 caught He explained that land cannot be patented on a section that is not contiguous. He said some sections are not patentable, because of a withdrawal strip for a highway, without a claimant establishing homestead rights on both sides of | the strig. He sald that the land survey de- partment does not have men nor money to make all the surveys nec- | essary to free the claims, and that the new easement clause helps greatly. But, he added, “The new ruling does not go far enough.” He explained that the new ruling is definitely a relief measure, but thought that because of the with- drawal sirips along the Alaska high- way, the Richardson and other highways, development was being slowed. Withdrawals along the Alaska highway are set at 300 feet along each side of the center line. On the Richardson, Glenn, « Haines, Seward-Anchorage, Anchorage-Lake Spenard and Fairbanks-College highways it is set at 150 feet along each side. Along lesser highways, | an easement instead of a with- drawal will be in effect. fire while he was figing in a group of eight planes ‘frem the Portland Air Base. The plane crashed into the back yard of the James Jacksor farm five miles north of here. A wing tip slashed a hole in the Jackson roof, but no ore was hurt. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, about to eat lunch, raccd outside in horror, but calmed down once they learned what all the noise was about. Burke came racing across the field where he landed, and they soon invited { him to join them at lunch.
