Greatest Hardwood Swamp "It's the greatest hardwood swamp left in America," he said. "It's the most productive big swamp in North America," he added in reference to wildlife produced in the area.

Glasgow, former assistant secretary of the interior, advocates the designation of the basin as a national recreation area. "You aren't going to save the Atchafalaya Basin by talking," he said. "You can save it by acting.

"I can't see any way of handling it other than through cooperation with the federal government," he added. Cost Factor Cited Glasgow, a member of the governor's committee for study of the problems associated with the Atchafalaya, pointed to the cost involved in developing the basin and to the financial woes presently facing Louisiana. "Look at the financial status of this state," he said. "The state debt is $1.2 billion. Interest on this debt amounts to $82.2 million per year.

All of our major departments are broke. Do you think that state government is going to give out money in spite of the fact that state agencies are broke?" he asked. He estimated that a development project in the basin would cost $50 million with an addi Bertha Vines, 69; services. 3 illness. n.m.
