Russians Easing
Rough Treatment
Of Churchgoers
MOSCOW, IjP*—Soviet Commu
nist Party chiefs told Red propa-;
gandists Thursday to continue
their tub-thumping for atheism
but to stop rough stuff against the
churches.
“Insulting attacks against be
lievers and the clergy can only
lead to strengthening and even in
tensification of religious prejudice
among the people,” declared a
decree of the party’s Central Com
mittee.
The unexpected order, signed
by Party Secretary Nikita S.
Khrushchev and published in the
official party newspaper Pravda,
followed a Soviet press campaign
against religion.
The campaign, which began sev
eral months ago, apparently got
out of hand in some places with
local officers resorting to persecu
tion of believers and the clergy.
The new decree does not mean
that religion and the churches are
to operate as freely in Russia as
in the west. But it said it was
aimed at protecting the “honest
Soviet citizen" who still is “under
the influence of all kinds of re
ligious beliefs.”
ONLY ONE MAN SHEDS TEARS
IN COURTROOM EXPLOSION
GOLDEN, Colo., i/Pi—An explo
sion gave everybody the jumps in
district court at this mountain
town west of Denver.
It was a bomb, all right—a tear
gas bomb in the pocket of Dist.
Atty. George G. Priest. He had
carried the bomb during an inves
tigation and accidentally touched
the discharging mechanism.
Priest was the only one to get
enough of the gas to have to leave
the room.

Earnings from Public School Land
Increasing Rapidly, Rut Lack of
Surveys Prevent Still More Gain
Land Commissioner W. A. Chip
perfield, with headquarters at
Anchorage, reports that increased
earnings from land reserved to
the territory for the support of the
public schools has increased from
approximately $3,600 in 1952 to
approximately $14,450 in 1953 and
$26,400 in 1954. Leases for school
sections have increased from 34
in 1952 to 42 in 1953, to 64 in 1954.
The increase in receipts is at
tributed to three factors: (1) in
crease in number leases, <2> in
crease in territory’s share of sub
leases, (3) increase in revenue
paid the Bureau of Land Manage
ment for oil and gas leases and
from the disposal of materials—
timber, sand and gravel—from
school land.
The commissioner believes that
the increase in receipts will con
tinue for several years and will
amount to $50,000 per year bv
1959 for the 105,000 acres of land
already in the school reserve.
Right Not Exercised
He said that the territory has
an entitlement to lieu and indem
nity selection for 74,000 acres,
but as yet has not exercised any
part of this right. Due to the lack
of surveyed sections there is little
land with revenue-producing fac
tors available for selection.
Extension of the rectangular
survey is urgently needed in order
to qualify land for lieu selection
and also increase the revenue for
the support of the public schools.
The federal government has sur
veyed only 2,350,037 acres of land
in all of Alaska and the school
reserves cannot be increased until
more sections are surveyed.
During the decade 1943-52 only
83,423 acres were surveyed and
at this rate it will take 66 decades
to survey all of Alaska.
Surveys Declining
The rate for making rectangu
lar surveys in the territory for the
past few years has been rapidly
decreasing and in 1952 less than
one section was surveyed under
that method.
Commissioner Chipperfield rec
ommends that $2,000,000 be ap
propriated for each year for the
next five years for extending the
rectangular survey and points to
the fact that oil and gas leases are
being issued by the federal gov
ernment for millions of acres of
unsurveyed land. Were this land
surveyed, the school reserve
would attach to Sections 16 and 36
and the territory would receive
90 percent of the receipt for leases
and royalties from these sections
for the support of the public
schools.
Thousands of Dollars Lost
Without the survey of these
lands the public school system
does not receive the benefit that
it is entitled to. The public school
system has already lost thousands
of dollars that it would have been
entitled to had these lands been
surveyed.
Lowell Puckett, area director
for Alaska for the Bureau of Land
Management, has often pointed
out that the lack of land surveys
was the cause of one of the big
gest bottlenecks in the land ad
ministration activities of his de
partment.
The facts should be presented
to Congress and strong requests
made for increased appropriations
up to $2,000,000 per year.
It would cost $100,000 to fire
all the guns on the battleship Mis
souri for one minute.
