The possibility of long, drawn-out suits in the | courts over ownership of the timber land may he enough to discourage potential pulp and paper com- pany investors from going ahead with plans to bring ) tralia. Under the existing status, an air traveler 7oing | this industry to Southeast Alaska. The Department of Agriculture’s U. S. Forest Service should have every legal right to sell the timber claimed by the Indians under authorization granted by the Congress of the United States in House Joint Resolution 205 of the last session. This legislation did not attempt to settle the question of who owns the land, nor was it in any way designed to take from the Indian something that may belong to them. On the contrary, the resolution contains a safeguard in that it provides that all proceeds from the sale of the timber shall go inte a special fund to be held until the question of ownership of the lands is settled. Certainly, the representatives of the Indians In Washington who have announced plans to sell the timber on the disputed lands to some previously un- heard of corporation in New York are way out on a limb. They would be selling timber to which there is no title without authorization from any court or from give the Indians no encouragement that these claims exist. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has in fact held that there is no such thing as aboriginal claims in Alaska. The sole base for all of these claims arose out of action taken by former Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and his solicitors, in which Ickes sought by administrative action to parcel out land| belonging to the United States and all of its people, not Lo any one class or race. Ickes' actions have never been declared valid by any court or by the Congress. Certainly this action which seeks to block any immediate development of the pulp and paper in- dustry in Alaska will do the Indians’' cause no good. And it will do Alaska considerable harm. Of course /it is always nice to believe that you can get some- thing for nothing and the legal slickers from Wash- | ington have no doubt painted visions of wealth for the natives of Southeast Alaska. | They may find out that by taking the course! they have chosen they will wind up with nothing, | when they might have gained something by coopera- tion. Their action at this time should result in forc- ‘mg the matter to an early hearing in the courts, nndl | it is a good guess that the courts will decide that the | title to the land in question remains with the govern- | ment. This will alleviate any necessity of action by | Congress to “pay off” the natives so Alaska can pro- ceed with normal development. We consider the stand taken by the ANB as selfish, damaging to the Territory and all of its people. | Barrier to Flight 1 —_— | .

Qur own restrictions for for- eign air travel are embodied in 1,600 printed pages. | The committee recommends immediate negotia- tions by countries of the Western Hemisphere and some other countries to abolish the visa on a bi- lateral basis; creation of industry-government air facility committees at all airports of entry in the United States to iron out our air travel problems, and sub- stitution of an international air travel card for the | visa passport. It would emphasize the fact that the srowth of United States international air transport' is a basic objective of both our international policy | and our national security. There should be general support for this cffon.l to bring present laws into conformity with the “spirit | of the new philosophy which aims to serve the con- i venience of 99 per cent of legitimate inbemational; travelers, rather than, as an impenetrable barrier, to repel all in an effort to catch 1 per cent of the un- | Congress.

Larry Parks, arrived in port from Skagww: after a rough trip. Tough weather was experienced north of Haines on the outbound voyage and on the entire return trip. At Skagway a strong north wind was plowing and the thermometer Was low. Ralph Beistline and John Pademeister, who left here about Novem- ber 1 on the gashoat Tolo for a hunting trip in the vicinity of Pybus Bay and Big John Bay and who were due to return three days previous had not shown up. The Santa Rita, Capt. Billy Dickinson, left to search them today. The Explorer, Capt. Magnus Hansen, was in port today with the largest single catch of halibut prought here this season. Running into good fishing near Yakutat, The Explorer’s holds were filled with approxi- mately 50,000 pounds while between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds were loaded on the deck. Only the deck load was sold here and the remainder was to be taken on the Explorer to Seattle. Seattle prices for halibut were 9% and 12%z cents.
