"Could hardly now Arthritis pain almost gone By Bill Lodge Of The Times Staff The cards have been dealt, and the federal government is holding a royal flush as opposed to a pair of deuces for the state of Louisiana. That was the picture presented by Dr. Leslie L. Glasgow concerning the Atchafalaya River Basin at a meeting of Caddo Sportsmen's Club, the Sierra Club and the Ozark Club last night in Shreveport.

Glasgow, former assistant secretary of the interior, advocates the designation of the basin as a national recreation area. "You aren't going to the Atchafalaya Basin by talking," he said. "You can save by acting. "I can't see 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 Do you state governmajor departments, are broke. ment 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 $50 million with an additional" $2 million needed for research. He said unless sedimentation is curtailed immedi- Caddo School Remap Plan Is Submitted The Caddo Parish School Board has filed its proposed reapportionment plan in U.S. District Court and asked the court to reject demands made by a group of black intervenors in the case. The plan the board filed is the same one it adopted at its meeting April 5. If the board's plan is approved by the court, the school board would be divided into 18 single-member election districts.

The plan filed by the Blacks United for Lasting Leadership, Louis C. Pendleton, David Wyandon and Leon Wilkerson, would also implement 18 singlemember districts. In addition to filing the plan, the school board asked that the blacks' plan be rejected, along with demands made by the blacks in their petition. The pl tif f-intervenors asked the court to order new elections for each seat on the board within 90 days after the new plan is approved and that the present apportionment plan be declared unconstitutional. ately many of the aquatic areas of the basin will be filled in within eight years.

Glasgow, director of the Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission from 1966 until 1969, expressed dissatisfaction the amount of state funds spent on public recreation each year. "Recreation has long been on the bottom of the totem pole in this state," he said. He also expressed disappointment in the work by the governor's commission studying the Atchafalaya. "I am disappointed because two special interest groups have dominated the commission," he said. He named landowners and the Louisiana Forestry Association.

Presently the assistant director of the school of forestry and wildlife management at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Glasgow is convinced that the Atchafalaya Basin should be prevented from filling up. Greatest Hardwood Swamp "It's the greatest hardwood left in America," he swamp, "It's the most productive big swamp in North he added in reference to wildlife produced in area. He said the basin would be even more beneficial to the general area as a national recreation area than is the Okefenokee in 1 Georgia or the Everglades in Florida. Most important in saving the area is the control of the area's water cycle, according to Glasgow. Keeping the basin in timber and open for public use are vital to the success of he's proposed program of action, said.
