THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” i VOL. LXVIL, NO. 10,738 JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1947 ~ MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS — ] TO INVESTIGATE ALASKA TIMBER DEAL LAWYER FOR INDIANS T0 FIGHT SALE Apparentlykfiempt Made to Head Off Bids on Alaska Timber A large pulp and paper company which is known to be interested in | the establishment of a large plam‘ in Southeastern Alaska has receiv- €d a letter from Washington, D. C., attorney James E. Curry, warning the company that the Department of Agriculture has no power to sell timber on lands which Curry claims belong to his Indian clients, the Tlingit and Haida Indians of Scutheast Alaska. The letter cautions the company that Curry will take “appropriate action” in behalf of the Indians, hut suggests that should the com- pany wish to buy timber from the Indians “they will . . . . be inter- ested. . . . } It is believed that similar letters have been sent to ail large pulp and paper companies kndwn to be interested in bidding on the pulp; timber which the U. S. Forest Ser-| vice has put up for sale under the| recently enacted Tongass Timber Act mn an effort to discourage such potential Alaskan investors and keep them from bidding on the timber. The letter, which was dispatched from Washington a month ago to a large pulp and paper company in the United States, reads as fol- lows: 1a “Gentlemen: “I am advised that you are in- tending to bid on a sale of Indian timber that the Department of Ag- riculture propeses to hold. As at- torney for the Indian owner of this timber ‘it will be my duty to take appropriate action for the protec- tion of my clients’ property rights. I think it only fair that you should know. in advance, the nature of my clients’ rights in this matter, so that you may take account of those rights in making yqur plans for the cutting of Indian timber. “My clients, the Tlingit and Haida Indians of Alaska, are Amer- ican citizens with the same rights as other American citizens. No Federal official has any right to sell their land or timber without their consent. Any such purported sale will convey no title to the ven- dee, who may be required to turn over to the Indian owners not only the land and the timber involved 'MARSHALL HITS, STRAIGHT OUT AT RUSS PROPAGAND Says It Is Time fo Call Halt on Brazen, Contempu- ous Barrage of Lies WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—® Secretary of State Marshall inject- ed a new element of toughness to- day in this country's patient-but- firm policy toward Russia. Charging that Soviet officials and their Communist allies are lying and know they're lying in a brazen and contemptuous” propa- ganda barrage against® his Europ- ean recovery plan, Marshall de- clared “it is time to call a halt. “We do not propose to stand by and watch the disintegration of the international community to which we belong,” the Cabinet officer asserted on the eve of his departure for a face to face meeting with Russian Foreign Min- ister Molotov But while his speech in Chicago t night was his toughest yet as Cabinet officer, theless pledged that his sole aim at next week's Big Four Foreign Ministers’ conference in London will be to find a sound basis for a European peace settlement. The Secretary omitted any men- tion of the idea of making peace with Germany without Russia. Rather he said the United States will work for the creation of “a provision central authority in federated German state” as a step toward the final framing of a formal treaty. For himself, he said, “No what the provocation,” his only purpose at London will be to end! the present “tragic stalemate and to speed the advent of a new era of peace and hope for Europe and the world.” However, Marshall said the American people have been goaded into “active resentment” by the campaign of “vilification and dis- tortion of American motives in foreign affa waged by both Soviet officials and Communist groups. “These opponents charge the United imperialist design, poses, and finally with a desire to provoke a third world war” the soldier-diplomat declared, adding: “I wish to state emphatically that there is no truth whatsoever in these charges, and I add that those who make them are fully aware of this fact.” MT.
