Bartlett, dated November 2, it says Repre- sentative Jackson of Washington, Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs has introduced a bill creating an Indian Claims Commission looking toward the set- tlement of all claims of Indians against .the United States. Under this measure, the com- mission would hear and determine all claims of every nature on behalf tribes, bands or other groups of American Indians ‘esid- ing withn the territorial limits of the United States or Alaska The final determinations of the commission would be embraced in reports to Congress and. will be considered as the final judgment to. be paid in the same manner as are judgments of the Court of Claims. LAND IN NATIONAL FORESTS In a move designed to give en- couragement to post-war business and industrial development in the Territory, Delegate Bartlett has in- troduced a bill increasing the mum area of tracts which can be leased in the national forests of Alaska from five to eighty acres, with the exception of summer home tracts. At the present time, l2ases for tracts in national forests are fined to five acres “for the c struction of summer homes, hotels, stores and other structures, needed for ation or public convenience.” Delegate Bartlett's umendatory measure enlarges the uses for which le for land tracts can be granted by the Secretary of Agriculture o include hospitals, orphanages, = | despite © peints were contained in a recom- |he had received a letter of protcsv.ichm‘cln s, hunting and fishing clubs, from the Negro leagues, but added | public garages, machine shops, ship- that it did not constitute a bona- | repair ya marine ways, fish- |fide dispute for consideration by his packing cstablishments, woodwork- |office. ‘Therefore, he said, he had ing plants, mineral and peat-pro- ‘no further immediate comment on cessing plants, fuel-oil storage and it. | distributing stations, bus stations, “We are not protesting signing of and airplane landing fields.

Reparations JUNEAU, ALASK I3 To Cost Japs 14 Plenty Taxes Occupation Forces fo Be Consolidated Into One Army Says MacArthur TOKYO, Nov. 13—President Tru- man’s reparations representative, Edwin S. Pauley, reached Tokyo to- night and announced “I want a couple of days to size up the situa- tion before making any definite statements” about the reparations bill defeated Japan will be asked to pay. “I expect to have things well in hand before I leave,” he added, but he gavesno indication how long he expects to remain. He arrived in @ private plane with Na Under- | secretary Artemus L. Gates. Deliberations Begun Seventeen members of the rep- arations commission began pre- liminary discussions with officers of en. MacArthur's staff here Nov. 9, and Pauley’s arrival sig- nalled the start of official delibera- tions. Another crushing reminder of the cost of war was brought home to Japanese by for sts of taxes five times higher than current levies— a halved budget.

Five Year Program The newspaper Yomiuri Hochi, reporting the sharp warning, id that the council had been charged with preparation of a five-year vrogram to stabilize currency—al- ready ballooned by a mushrooming lack market. The council recom- mended a 1946-47 budget of not more than 15,000,000,000 yen. Non- military items of the present 111,- 434,000,000 yen budget are twice the proposed 1946-47 total. Current tax revenues of 14,000,000,000 yen should be boosted to 70,000,000,000, the council was quoted as urging Forces Consolidated Indicating smoothness of his oc- cupation program despite signs of restlessness among Japanese, Gen, MacArthur today announced con- solidation of his two armies in Japan into one force under Lt.

NIAL \ l} \ | ) l} | 4 WASHINGTON — There's some- thing unfair about the set-up for disabled men who get training or ducation under the veterans' voca- t al rehabilitation program—Pub- lic 16. It has to do with the money paid to an ex-service man while training I think the pomt I have In mind should be explained to you who ibly are a disabled veteran, be- se it’s to your interest to know. 1ppose we consider two disabled ex-service men, Frank and Joe. Both ha the me kind of disability. Both are rated as 60 percent disabled and draw $69 a month disability pen- sion. Frank wants education or training —and he needs it, because he's held the Veterans' Administration to : in need of vocational rehabilita- tion, and is thus eligible for his training under Public 16. He's told he can take that or he can get it under the provisions of the GI Bill. He can make the choice. If he chooses Public 16, his pension will be raised to $92 a month while training. 1f he picks the GI Bill, he’'ll continue to get his $69 pension and the government will pay him an —total $92. I explain- 2d about that in my last article. But Joe is declared by the Veter- ans’ Administration not to be in noed of vocational training. Let's say he2 was a young practicing lawyer and he can still go on with that profession. ‘Thus, he isn’t eligible fer education or training under Pub- lic 16. Therefore, he has no choice to make, as Frank had. Yet he’s eligible for some train- ing under the GI Bill. So he decides to teke some. What will he get while training? He will still get his full pension of $69 and he will get $50 a month whilz training under the GI Bill. To- tal $119 a month! Frank, who was eligible under both Public 16 and the GI Bill can get only $62 a month, whichever he a $2 NEW CHINATOWN Located at South Franklin Street Across from Arctic Cab Co. NOW OGPEN!
