sale contract and enforced.
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

night when fire fighters can tnke
advantage of the more favorable
fire control conditions which
usually exist at night.
BLM district foresters and
timber sale offUers will inspect
tile logging operations for com
pliance with the fire prevention
requirements in the course of

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. Va., is to report in May
for duty in the office of the naval
attache in the U. S. Embassy in
Oslo, Norway, the first such as
signment for a woman.

The growing national defense
program has greatly Increase'd
the work-load of the unit to the
point where the number of cases
handled has almost equalled the
peak year during World War II.
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.
