In response to inquiry by Terri- tories Committee Chairman Hugh Peterson, (Ga), Robertson stated his opposition to all forms of In- dian reservations, such as those now existing in the States. It is commonly felt, he said, that the native peoples of Alaska can best progress if placed upon the same. basis as white residents and allowed to take a mormal position in the economy of the country. He declared that he “seriously doubts that a majority of the Indians themselves believe in reservations.” Robertson proposed, as the most likely solution, action by congress to extinguish permanently all ab- original rights, with redress through the courts allowed those native peoples who can establish prior claims. Queried as to the motivation of Secretary Ickes' reeent concern for protection of native claims through establishment of reservations, Rob- ertson gave his opinion that there is no justification; that the reser- vation withdrawals have as their [ | CAPITOL SHOWS SUCCESS STORY OF ROCKEFELLER RWO Radio’s iatest “This Is America” short feature “Rockefeller Center” now showing at the Capi- .0l Theatre is a fascinating film ibout the gigantic twelve-building ity within a city.

Hagen, (Minn.), was doubly in- terested in the reaction of Alas- kans to reservations for Indians, stating that he is also a member f the Indian Affairs Committee. He was concerned with opinions as to whether Indians would fare better on reservations or on a common basis with whites without particular privileges. H Territorial Representative Curtis’ Shattuck presented an outline of present land withdrawals in the Territory of Alaska, summarizing that 120,665,000 acres of Alaska's lands, or 32 per cent of the area of the Territory, are now reserved oy various agencies for one pur- pose or another. These with- drawals are taken from the “best sections of the Territory,” he said,! and represent more nearly one-half he usable land. A very difficult problem will irise, he predicted, with the ex- oected influx of hundreds of thous- ands of people coming to Alaska .0 make their futures. Under the gresent situation, they virtually will not be able to determine ‘where they may go and what ‘hey may do where.” Every piece of land withdrawn from public use retards develop- ment of the Territory, he said. Withdrawals are now being made by decision of individuals — they should require prior approval of Congress. Secretary Ickes is now a ‘virtual dictator” of Alaska, he ncluded. Boyle Talks Auditor of Alaska Frank Boyle outlined the course of a homesite claim he had followed through the sangle of Washington bureaus to demonstrate the obstacles to ac- quiring title to Alaska lands.

Daly, Bristol Bay - District Superintendent, for the Pacific American Fisheries, who met the plane at Boeing Field, said the Bristol Bay season of one month was long enough, and that a longer season would be detrimental to the salmon run. “Considering that this was an off year for the salmon run, the catch during the season was very good in the Bristol Bay area,” Daly said. “Over 640,000 cases of salmon were packed at Bristol Bay, and only 400,000 cases had been anticipated.” The Fish and Wildlife Service reported that the salmon pack of Bristol Bay comprised ' 569,831 cases of reds, 65,540 cases of chums, 2294 cases of cohoes and 4,288 cases of kings. MACHINE HELPING WEARY WITH PROF. MANSFIELD, O—Dan B. Haber, a junior high school mathematics teacher here invented a mechani- cal grade averager that is a great time-saver. “A Russian adding, abacus—cen- turies old in principle—that I saw in a hotel in.Odessa in 1938 while abroad gave me the germ of an idea for the averaging machine,” Haber said. The madchine is so simple that a fourth grade child can operate it, but development of the calculator took months of mathematical gym- nastics and planning. It is operated by means of a “puncher” placed in a slot oppo- site the grade to be averaged. The machine computes averages for from one to 24 degrees with the result appearing in a small travel- ‘mg “window.” De Luxe Baby Shop And for the Dainty Little Miss . . .
