North, South Work Together For Gettysburg Preservation Gettysburg- t Ml'PU- Civic leaders from both North and South are working together to preserve the hallowed ground where Union and Confederate forces fought the decisive battle of the Civil War nearly 100 years ago. They are attempting to raise $2 million to buy land, now privately owned, which they fear will be exploited commercially and detract from the famed battlefield. 2 Children Killed By Portland Autos ! Portland-OIPll-Two children were struck and killed by oars in separate accidents in the Portland area late Tues day. , Diane Saloum, 6, was struck by a car in southeast Port land and was dead on arrival at a hospital. Police hooked James Ed ward Lane, 24, Troutdale, on a charge of negligent homi cide and failure to yield the right of way to a pedestian with bail set at $1,100. It was Portland's 16th traf fic death of the year. ..... Gary Wilcox, an 11-year-7 old newspaper boy, was killed when his bicycle was struck by a panel truck on Southeast ' Johnson Creek blvd. Clacka- mas County Deputy Sheriff Larry Kezer said the truck driver, Kenneth C. Klawitter, " 26, Oswego, told him the bi ." cycle veered into his path. Then they will give the land to the Federal government. But they are running into opposition from Adams county commissioners and some land-owners who con tend that too much battlefield property already has been re moved from local tax rolls. Nationwide Fund Drive The Gettysburg Battlefield preservation association says it is conducting a nationwide fund drive to block use of battle sites by beer parlors, shopping centers, neon-lit motels and real estate devel opments. It recently made its first purchase - a 55-acre tract close to a Confererate Sharp shooters' hideout in Devil's Den - for $20,000. Furthermore, the associa tion has sold more than 20.000 "deeds" to one square foot of battlefield land to Americans eager to help. While the nation honors veterans of all its wars on Memorial Day, the Gettys burg group is seeking to make the battlefield here a perpet ual symbol of sacrifice. The cause has enlisted de cendants of Union Gen. U. S. Grant and Confederate Gen eral Robert E. Lee, Television personality Charlie Weaver and public officials in both "Rebel" and "Yankee" states. Appeals to Viewers Weav er, who i' Gettysburg resident Cliff Arquette, has appealed to TV viewers to help buy the needed land. Marshall F. Allen, execu tive director of the associa tion, says it is trying to raise funds to purchase six "islands" of private land in side the borders of the 2,-781-acre National Park. These areas, containing about 6S0 acres, he said, could be used for commercial purposes. Allen said the "islands" were no problem until recent ly whgi Gettysburg became cramped for space and sou venir shops, hot-dog stands and other eyesores, were; erected on farm land. Congress hist year appro priated $450,000 to expand battlefield parks at Gettys burg and Manassas, Va., site of the battles of Bull Run. But Allen said there were too many strings on the legis lation that have presented even a penny of it from being used to enlarge the park here. The law permitted purchase of land only where local zon ing laws existed or where the land was alrcaey commercial ly developed. It also barred use of the funds to buy any part of the Adams Coity Poor Farm, one of the "is lands." Allen said battle positions of the Confederates are es pecially endungered by the threatened switch from farm ing to commercial use of pri vate property. "Union strongpoints are pretty well secured because they are on government land," he said. "But land oc cupied by (Confederate Gen. John B.) Hood's Texans and units from Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama Is In jeopardy." A Civil war buff, the 46-year-old Allen has rebel ties. Both of his grandfathers were in Confederate units and were injured in the three-day battle. Three-Year Goal ' ' He said the association hopes to raise the $2 million in three years-before the cen tennial of tlie event that help ed end the bloody war. Three women were busy sending "deeds" to contribu tors in an office overlooking historic Gettysburg Square as Allen was interviewed. The national response has not changed the attitude of the Adams county commis sioners. They contend they need to get rid of the county poor farm, because Iff cost ing too much money to run it, and will sell It to the high est bidder. Furthermore, they contend ed, Gettysburg comprises only about one-fifth of the county and should not be subsidized at the expense of the rest of its residents. President Eisenhower, who owns more than 300 acres of farm land on the edge of the battlefied, has not yet been asked for help by the asso ciation. But he has bought additional tracts around his farm to block commercial de velopment of that land, townspeople say. MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Or.
