PAUL - CLAIMS REMARKS * WERE'DISTORTED' Chicago ReBo—ner Got Him| All Wrong on Subject of Ickes, Claim Claiming that statements made by him to a Chicago Tribune re- porter were “absolutely distorted” in an article which the reporter, George Tagge, wrote for his news- paper, Willlam L. Paul today wrote a letter to Fred Marx, former Sec-| retary to Secretary of the Interior arold L. Ickes explaining what he i really told Tagge. Marx had sent a clipping of the Tagge article to Paul. The article, said Paul whom it described as “perhaps the most fluent among the natives,” had assailed “oppres- sive supervision by Interior Secre- tary Harold L. Ickes' Indian Af- fairs bureau.” The article had Paul assailing an Ickes “Gestapo” among the Indians of Alaska. To this, Paul said he hadn't ever used the word “Gestapo” and didn't know ! how to pronounce it, In his letter to Marx, Paul said: “I have been satisfied with the sin- cerity of .M. Ickes and the Of- 'fice of-Indian Affairs from the be- ginning. Without going into detail, I can testify that the principles adopted by the Interior Depart- {ment with respect to the Indians |of Alaska has been the most pro- gressive undertaken in the history of recent times, “The evils that still attend us are a carry-over from former ad- ministrations, and while Mr. Ickes when you consider the fact (in relation to the fisheries question) as Mr. Gabrielson is now in charge. “T'hat Chicago inquirer abso- lutely distorted my interview for I began that interview by saying ‘I am not among those who sup- |port the demand that Mr. Ickes resign, nor do I believe that his | plans are bad for Alaska.’ The in- cidents that apparcntly show dis- | agreement were cited merely to |show that we differed in some things but that we were holding |our own and were not being in- | jured.” - H SITKA BANKER RETURNING W.

John M. Clark and Chief John Newmarker released the steamer Mount Mc- Kinley ' last night, declaring she was seaworthy and was not dam- aged to any extent when she ran aground in Wrangell Narrows late Saturday night. Deep-sea diver Rice, formerly of Ketchikan and now located at Sit- ka where he is doing diving work for Siems Drake, and his tender, 8. C. Lynch, arrived by plane from Sitka yesterday afterncon to ‘n- spect the hull of the vessel. After his longest dive of one hour and 20 minutes, Rice came to the sur- face to report that the McKinley had a “large dent on the port side, but everything is ship-shape.’” The diver said the vessel was merely scratched and was perfectly able to make the trip to Seward. Alaska Steamship agent Horace Adams booked 30 passengers from Juneau for the Westward after the formal o. k. given by the steam- boat inspectors, but said there was a possibility that the vessel might not stop in Juneau southbound, but may go straight to- Seattle over the Gulf so that she might! go to drydock and be repaired im- mediately to get back on the Alas- ka run.
