C., which said that Secretary of the Inter scar L. Chapman had postponed indefinitely the electiol which involved millons of allotted tions to the Hydaburg, Shung: and Bar- row Indians “in order that he could study the entire Alaska Indian situation.” ervat acr for resery our usual faith in the Associated Press (which is not shaken in spite of the current confusion) we| about Mr. of ections, commended him for his interest.

Somewhere along the line—and soon, too, because the Newsletter was dated January 19, a change in elec- tion plans was made. Somedays later,” Mr. Barlett say, “it was said that the Hydaburg election had been postponed only until May 11 and no postponement had been made with reference to the other two reserva- | tions.” So there we have two dates for the Hyda- | burg election, May 11 and April 24. January 23, The Empire queried the Associated Press to find out which was correct, as there was no reference in the Warne story of that date to any change of Mr. Chapman’s postponement order. This is the response received January 24 to our query: “Interior Department and Interior committee lLlum elections not a reversal Chapman stand. Chap- ! man had asked only for postponement, pending further study of the Hydaburg elections then skedded for February 6. Now find our January 17 story erroneous in saying he asked postponement all three. Yester- day’s story correct.” Not many minutes after tne matter was brought up at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday the sug- gestion that the Chamber ask the Department of the Interior for an explanation “an informed source” sug- gested that the Chamber and The Empire “layoff,” let the elections go ahead and be held; that no objec- tion from Alaska can accomplish their delay; that the best thing to do is to let them be held, then use the courts for a final settlement of the reservation questions. 3 The same source implied that while much pressure was being used to delay or prevent the.elections, the pressure of the Indian groups and their attorneys in Washington was so great that it had reached presi- dential level and scheduling of the elections had been iered “Any pressure from Alaska is purely academic and will accomplish nothing. The pressure brought by Mr. Curry, the attorney for the Indian groups, and others of the civil rights groups is so much greater than any pressure from Alaska that you people are just wasting your iime.” l So, there it 1s. i There is no one in Alaska nently through the courts. But we do not believe that the granting of re: of 2300 square miles to the 130 Eskimos o! Kobuk villages; 750-square miles to tions Shungnak and ¢ Wales Island to the 360 Natives of Hydaburg village will provide that permanent settlement. Should the { Indians accept the reservations, there will be more 2d. Wwe inclined to believe that our “informed source’ is correct. That the attorneys for the Indian rights groups may have ulterior motives in forcing through the reservation elections. Maybe we are wrong, but it has been our under- standing that the Alaska Indians are not nearly as anxious for the reservations to be established as are Mr. Curry et al. If we get any further clarification of this very confused issue, we will hand it on in another chapter. As of today, the reservation elections will be held Feb- 4, 8 and April 24. dec are |Dale Ro Hotel Chester, Hots Golden, Gerry Rcoms, Loma Ro { Model Rooms, Hotel White, Yose- mite Rooms, Rainbow Rooms, Hotel Commercial, San Joaquin Rooms, Leverne Hotel, Ritz Rooms, and and ev le difficul of Fres- -abiding citizens 2 houses of pi records show Warne announcement yesterday re In-} who would not like | to see the question of Indian rights settled perma- [for a seat in the Territorial House | !
