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.
