In St Louis on Sept 11 the Major couple’s attorney filed a demurrer in federal court to dismiss the government suit to condemn 4926 acres in Dent county for a forest preserve. The motion argues a Missouri state statute allowing such condemnation lacks limits on land the government may take for reforestation recreation and agriculture. It warns the statute could permit acquisition of all state lands and abolish the state.
