President Truman Urges Conservation Of Resources Everglades, City, Fla.—Presi-' dent Truman helped dedicate a| 454,000-acre tract of the Florida Everglades as the Everglades' National Park last week with a challenge to the American people to resist "raids” on their natural resources by interests who would I exploit them for "private gain.”, This' tiny but famed fishing, town deep in the Everglades fur nished the backdrop for the President’s speech on conferva* tjgn and for' colorful activities which include Federal and state, officials, Seminole Indians, tour ists from many states, as well as Floridians. Mr. Truman declared that pro per use of land and water re sources was as much a public] responsibility as were “world order, world peace and world recovery.” He mentioned no names when he called for constant vigilance "to prevent raids by those who would selfishly exploit our com mon heritage for their private gain.” Such raids on our natural re sources,” he declared, “are not examples of enterprise and ini tiative. They are attempts to take from all foe people for the benefit of the few.” Before the speechmaking be-] gan, a group of 110 Seminole In dians sent a delegation of 20 to] the President to present him with a multi- hued tribal shirt, a ] handbag for Mts. Truman, and, a Seminole flag. William McKinley Osceola, 65, and Corey Osceola, descendents of the great Seminole war chief, Osceoa, presented the shirt and flag, bat made it clear before hand that honorary tribal brother hood was not being extended. The Seminoles, proud and aloof, lost a war to the United States more than a century ago and accept no white men as honorary tribesmen.
