The stipulations Include such specific safeguards as requiring woods workers to rake aside all inflamable material and sit down before smoking, then to com pletely extinguish all burning material before leaving the clear ed area. The use of blasting caps and fuse will be prohibited on the timber sales areas during the fire season. Extreme fire haz ards, such as wind falls and snags, are to be removed from the landings before logging op erations begin. An extra man carrying a shovel and bnck pack pump may be required to ac company power saws during hazardous periods. Headlights Required Throughout the fire season op erators cutting BLM timber must provide headlights for both men and bulldozers so that fire sup pression action can be taken at night when fire fighters can tnke advantage of the more favorable fire control conditions which usually exist at night.

(International) Millions of Acres of Land Passing Oyer to Government Washington (U.R) Millions of acres of land are passing from private ownership to the govern ment to meet needs of the armed forces and atomic research. From the graveyards anil plantations to towns and deserts, vast tracts of land in the United Slates have been bought for use as bombing ranges, naval bases, atomic experimental areas, or just plain "public use." This large and intricate job Is being performed by the little known lands division of the De partment of Justice. Within this division, lawyers are working constantly on the many compli cated legal steps that are neces sary for the government to buy or condemn land. Titles Need Clearing In condemnation proceedings, the lands division fixes the price and acts as the government's law yer when the cases go to court. In purchase proceedings it does not fix price but it must clear titles so that there will be no cloud on the government's legal right to the property. This land acquisition can be accomplished because every foot of land in the United States or its possessions is subject to the law of eminent domain: the govern ment can acquire land for public use, subject to the provision in the Fifth Amendment that "pri vate property shall not be taken for public use without just com pensation." The division has 25 clients, all government agencies seeking to take land from private owners for public use. The Army is the biggest client, with the Depart ment of the Interior next and the Navy close behind. SETS PRECEDENT - Lt. Fran-, cina Stoncsifer, DSN, of Charles Town, W.

The fiscal year of 1951 showed 14,000 cases, compared with 15,- 880 In the fiscal year of 1942. The recent acquisition of 240, 000 acres of land at Ellenton, S. C, for use of the Atomic Energy Commission is a sample of the size of its operations. As of January 1, the division had 3,120 condemnations cases pending in the courts, involving 33,500 tracts and 8,770,000 acres, appraised for condemnation pur poses at $48,000,000. During the last six months of 1951, it ap proved titles containing a total of 188,000 acres purchased by the government for $18,750,000. In the fiscal year 1951, which ended last June 30, the division handled government purchases involving 7,500 pieces and 377, 000 acres of land bought for $25,-800,000.
