Bureau Of Government Says MANY PERSONS WANT TO PICK UP ISLAND OFF FLORIDA KEYS WASHINGTON; D. C., May 16.—(Special).—Re- cent items in the newspapers pertaining to the availabil- ity of islands from the Bureau of Land Management in} the Departemnt of the Interior have caused many to conclude that they can pick up an island in the Florida | Keys or off the coast of Alabama and have it for their very own without great cost announced, “The bureau is endeavor- ing to make small tracts of public land available for! leasing and possible pur- chase by citizens desiring residential or recreational sites,” BML said, “but the] land available seldom, if ever, includes small is- lands.” Islands have always been popu- lar, and were taken up in large numbers by early homesteaders and by owners of scrip. Scrip was a right to make a selection of a specified number of acres of available public land. Civil War veterans frequently made use of scrip, to obtain islands for their own use or for speculation. Is- lands were also sometimes in- cluded in grants of land to states and to railroads, or were included’ in the National Forest or other federal reservations. Many islands were withdrawn from all forms of public acquisition for use for sites for lighthouses or. stations, BLM said “The vast majority of federally- owned islands passed into state or private ownership during the last century of land disposal,” BLM said. “The islands Which remain > are often masses of rock; dnaceese sible, uncurveyéd, not! ¢lassified for disposal, or otherwise _un- available.” U.S. Wants Early Treaty With Japan TOKYO, May 16.—(A).—The Japanese people were told today in a report approved by General | Ridg) that the U1 d States desires an early: peace treaty giving Japan full autonomy and an expanding economy. The statement was contained in a long report by Major General William Marquat, chief of the occupation’s economic dhd scien- tific section. It covered activities on the U.S.-Japan economic co: operation mission which recently} returned to Tokyo from the United States. Marquat advised the that the United States does not feel .committed to “bail out” Japan after the treaty. if Japan “should permit a recession in the economic progress al- ready achieved.” Japan has a great opportunity to continue her economic ex- pansion, Marquat said, but she must come up with an ess Japanese tially sound long range economic] ‘ program — not necessi along the lines of occupation-sponsored measures.

These Red prisoners are saying that the new attack was planned in Moscew and Peiping, that. it will unleash more than one mil- lion Communist soldiers against the allies. The enemy goal:is, to clear Ko~ rea of fordigners’ before June .25, the first anniversary of the Com- munist invasion of South Korea. As for pen se under a ‘full moon, the Chinese have’ done ‘that three. times so far. They did not have a full moon for their attack in February, that one fizzled and collapsed. ‘ Here’s the way allied intelli- gence officers see the enemy for- ces lined up. The main body, about 390,000 men, is on the west- central front. At least half are fresh troops. On the east and west flanks of this main army are two smaller armies, nu:nvering about 100,000 men each.
