"Marineland" certainly bears out your D
contentions. But I fear it may distract from EC 1] 196
rather than focus effort on the central problems, of pollution. 3
However, your idea is meritorious enough for its

own benefits. But why not build on the public z00?

S.F,. will probably bave to charge non-resident users

if it can ever afford a regional park ~- or else why not

set up a special park-district for tax purposes. The Legislature

is the place to press this. Also contact Dr. Oppenheimer,

Dear Professor Lederberg:

After you acknowledged in your newspaper
article “Air Full of Poison” that you were slow in
paying serious attention to the warnings about the
Man-made deterioration of our environment, I became
a faithful reader of your column,

(Wwe 10

My paramount interest of late has been the
conservation of our environment, Since my training
and occupation was along a different line, I found it
encouraging that a man of your status should confirm
that there is cause for alarm about, atrocious abuses
of our environment,

Enclosed is a letter that I am writing to a
number of prominent people, I hope you‘find my zoo
proposal has sufficient merit to warrant your endorse-~
ment since I fear that my credentials may be insufficient
to get me a hearing,

Of course your reply will not obligate you in
any way whatsoever,

Yours sincerely,

We wa uci’ C Mypeae.
