Agrees To Conduct Hearings By MARSHALL McNEIL XmlS-Pni Waikliilaa rtnamliri WASHINGTON June Protests of New Mexicans and others have forced postponement perhaps until next fall of the Army'i plana to acquire about 647800 acrei of land to add to the Ft Bills inti-alrcraft and guided missile range Representative John Dempsey of New Mexico is one of those who hss protested most viiorously against the Army'i plans He nld todsy the Army says it needs this vast amount of space although it already has about 2000 -000 acres in the ranges available to guided missile center But Dempsey says the Army won't explsin precisely why It needs this additional land Testing Grounds The presumption la that the Army thinks It needs it to provide testing grounds for better and bigger anti-aircraft guided missies that have much greater rsnge The law requires that even though the Army hqe been authorised to acquire such land and has been given in appropriation to do so it must still get the approval of the Armed Services Commltteqg of the House and Senate Dempsey said that the Senate Armed Services Committee had agreed to lnvesligele the need for thie proposed land acquisition in hearings to be held in New Mexico It will not do so however until Congrea adjourns That would appear to mean that the Senate Committee could not get around to okehing the acquisition even if wanted to do so before aome time In the late summer or fall To jlold Hearings The House Armed Services Committee has promised Dempsey that it also will send investigators to New Mexico end hold hearings on the ground These probably will be held at Alamogordo at some time yet to be fixed by Representative Dewey Short Armed Services chairman Dempsey said that normally In such land acquisitions the Government gets end retains the mineral rights but ha doesn't want that done in this case Moreover he apparently wants some new and better method for appraising the lend otherwise ho fears the owners will be cheated Public Domain The Army says ft requlgps 647800 acres north of Ft Bliss bounded on the South by the Texes -New Mexi Co line and on the West by Highway 64 and the Southern Pacific tracks Of this 438400 acres are in the Federal public domain but private interests hold water end graxing rights on It Ohe hundred acres is held by the State of New Mexico end 66000 by private owners The Army also wants to arrange for co-use leases on about 130270 additional acres of land It would not acquire the land outright but would lease it and use it requiring private users to move only when anti-aircraft or guided missile firinp were taking place Egyptian Predicts Pharaoh's Tomb To Yield Jewelry United Prtm CAIRO Egypt June Egyptian Archaeologist Zakaria Gboneim said today ha expects to find the crown
