At recent sessions of Congres peated to repeal the law vesting this authority in the Secretary of the Interior, but they never succeeded. The last of these was circulated by Secretary Krug while he was in office .

Note—Governor Warren’s fairness in matters similar to the above is one reason why he gets almost as many Democratic votes as Repub- licans. Col. McCormi Aboard Good will for America got a jolt recently at a stormy press confer- ence in Bombay, India, a key spot n the cold war. Fifty Indian correspondents gath- ered around Col. Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, and were astounded to hear his blithe announcement that all he knew about Kasmir was that it was the home of fine rugs. A reporter asked him a question on the hottest subject in that part of the world, the flaming dispute between India and Pakistan. Colonel McCormick replied he had not even heard of the dispute until 24 hours before he landed in India. This caused an Indian cor- respondent to ask sarcastically: “Isn't this fype of general ignor- ance responsible for the American lack of prestige in the Far East?” |CCASTAL FLIGHTS - BRING30; TAKE 38 | Alaska Coastal Airlines flights | over the weekend brought 30 per- sons to Juneau and carried 38 from here to points in Southeast Alaska. | To Skagway: Jim Ohmer and J. | Dodge; to Haines: Mr. Tomlinson, J.
