ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 1 —
i.ft— An order temporarily re drain
in , four individuals from removing
gravel from any part of Merrill Air
field land previously staked as a
mining claim was signed yesterday
in Third District Court.
T’ e action was taken after the
claimants, through Attorney Buell
Nevbett, had notified the Bureau of
Land Management they intended to
bs in gravel operations May 1 even
though their claims on land at till,
city's civilian airport had been de
clared null and void.
Claims were filed by Alfred, Belty
Jan.? and Laurence Lindemuth and
Hewitt Lounsbury last February. On
April 19 the filings were declared
invalid by Lowell Puckett, regional
administrator for the Bureau of
Land Management, on grounds they
wee; in conflict with the airport
lease which the city of Anchorage
holds on the land.
Attorneys said the restraining or
der would be in effect at least until
results of Lindemuth's appeal to
the Bureau of Land Management
Director in Washington, D. C., are
known.
In a disposition. Assistant U. S.
Attorney Ralph Moo -v said “un
warranted use . . . would affect
seriously the surface use of airpori,
land which is used in connection
with,.defense purposes, and :inca|:
Alaska is 'in a strategic area and
n\ suability of the airport is close'y
related to defense purposes, the need
for removing encumbrances effect
ing use of this land is readily ap
parent.'”
