EVERGLADES CITY, FIa.t Dec. 6 (U.I5) President Truman dedi cated a new national park on the sub-tropical southern tip of Flor ida today and called for constant vigilance to guard against selfish raids on the nations natural re sources.

R. Robins on down were ready today to accuse the census bureau and the San Francisco chamber of commerce of dreaming up Idaho's lost popu latlon out of a "lost week-end." Robins, Idaho's chamber of commerce and the citizenry in general are getting pretty upset about all these reports of the Gem state's decreased population. The last one came from the San Francisco Fran-cisco chamber of commerce. It said Idaho's population had skidded from 525,000 in 1946 to 488,000 in July of this year. A few months ago a national magazine came out with a similar report, And that chagrins the auto dealers and the natives no end The state's automobile quotas are based on population. So are other items in short supply. Robins is getting kind of huffy about these outsiders running off with his constituents, even on a paper basis. . he said, "would selfishly exploit our common heritage for their private gain." "Such raids on our natural re sources are not examples of enter prise and initiative," he told the cheering inhabitants of this tiny gulf coast village. "They are at tempts to take from all the peo ple for the benefit of a few. Wise use of our natural resources, re-sources, Mr. Truman said, is part of the nation's responsibility responsi-bility to its citizens and to "world order, world peace and world recovery." Mr. Truman flew over the Everglades area in coming here from Key West, where he is vaca tioning at the navy submarine base. He landed at Naples, 38 miles from here, and motored the rest of the way along a palmetto and palm-lined highway through the everglades marsh. In his address, the president was mindful of the demands on the United States to help many na tions of the world toward recov ery. "No man can know every ele ment that makes a nation great." he said. "Certainly the lofty spirit of its people, the daily coopera tion, the helpfulness of one clti zcn to another are elements. "A nation's ability to provide a good living for its people in in dustry, business and on the farm is another. The intelligent recognition recog-nition of its citizens of a nation's responsibility for world order, world peace and world recovery is still another. "The wise use of our natural resources is the foundation for our effectiveness in all these efforts." ef-forts." Mr. Truman praised past ef forts to conserve America's nat ural wealth but said these efforts must be improved. Full conservation of our every resource can be accomplished by continued construction of dams, hydroelectric plants and trans mission lines; by greater use of natural gas, by research for more efficient methods of extratlon of coal and oil and by exploration for new reserves, he said.
