The commission has approved a general master plan for redevelopment and more detailed planning is in progress. Mayor William H. Beyer, a member pf both the commission and the corporation, said a buyer or investor is being sought to purchase the 565 acres.

The corporation also hopes to encourage development of an additional 1,591 acres now being purchased by the state for interim conservation use. Set Purchase Conditions The corporation is ready to receive proposals from private sources, Beyer said. These terms and conditions apply: 1. The corporation will purchase the 565 acres and, if a contract is executed, the purchaser will be required to make a non-interest-bearing, 20-year, prepayment privilege loan to the corporation of approximately $75,000. Neither the state, the corporation nor its officers or agents, will be obligated to repay this loan.

All or part of the 565-acre tract may, however, be mortgaged to secure it. It may be possible for the corporation to arrange purchase terms with the United States so that the entire loan amount need not be advanced immediately. But in this eventuality the purchaser will be required to lend to the corporation the additional amount needed to pay 5 per cent interest on unpaid installments. 2. If a contract is executed between the corporation and the purchaser he will be required to assume responsibility for the protection and AP Wirephoto PLEADS GUILTY TO SPYING This was ex-diplomat Ivan Asen Christof of Georgiev, Bulgaria, as he wept during his trial confession in Sofia, Bulgaria, on charges of spying for the United States.
