Hun- | dreds of small tracts for homesites, icnbin sites, and business are now | under lease in Southeast Alaska, | the Anchorage area, in the vicinity of Fairbanks, and at two points along the Alaska Highway, Puckett ! said. Forms Simplified A new form has been intrdduced, combining the application and the !lease into one document. Also, it will no longer be necessary for a veteran of World War II to make an application in order to get his name into a drawing for tracts classified for filing, as he will be required merely to fill out a card form provided at the Land Offices. No filing fee is required with this card. Only the successful card hold- ers will complete the combined ap- plication and lease forms, greatly reducing the volume of paper work handled by the Land Offices. In order to mimmize the possi- bility of speculation in small tract: leases, substantial improvements in the land will be necessary before assignments will be approved or | leases renewed or tracts sold under an option to purchase, Puckett said. Subleasing will no longer be per- | mitted. | “We feel that the revised regu- |lations and accompanying forms will aid the Bureau of Land Man- jagement in rendering more efficient and expeditious services to the pub- lic and at the same time reduce the pressure of administrative details on the personnel of our understaffed field offices,” the official said. { { Selection of Area To clarify a general impression that seems to prevail that Veterans of World War II get preference rights on all areas opened up for entry by the Bureau of Land Man- agement, Puckett said that while this fact is true, there is nothing to prevent any qualified individual, veteran, or not, from selecting an area of unreserved, unappropriated surveyed land and requesting that it be classified so that he may lease it under the Small Tract act. If the Bureau of Land Management classifies the land, the applicant gets first shot at it.” Applications for classification must be accompanied by a filing fee of $10. All applications are filed in the appropriate land offices. They may be sent to George A. Lingo, Man- ager of the Anchorage Land Office or Fred Weiler, Manager at Fair- banks. As the rectangular survey net has not yet been extended to the Nome district, no applications have | been accepted for lands in that area, it was explained. A bill is pending in Congress STARTS SUNDAY which would permit the Bureau of Land Management to extend the Small Tract cla: cation to unsur- veyed land. If passed, many areas on unsurveyed lakes could be opened to cabin sites, which do not require any specified period of residence. AMBASSADOR T0 SPAIN IS NAMED: SNUB NOW ENDED WASHINGTON, Dec| 27—(#—Pre- sident Truman today picked Stan- ton Griffis to be American Ambas- sador to Spain, thus ending a 5- ] year snub of Generalissimo Franco's regime. ! Griffis, 63, and a native of Bos- | ton, has previously served as Am- | bassador to Poland, Egypt and Ar- | gentina. His appointment to Madrid was forecast a month ago, after signs | appeared that America's diplomat- ic snubbing of Spain would be | ended. Relations have been main- tained with Franco's one party gov- ernment, but not at the Ambassad- orial level. The United Nations General As- semhly voted early in November to lift a ban in effect against Spain and permit member nations to sesd Ambassadors to Madrid. Griffis’ new appointment will go to the Senate for confirmation when the new Congress meets next week. Since 1936, he has been chairman of the Board of Paramount Pictur- es. MORE THAN HALF POPULATION SEOUL | EVACUATED SOUTH SEOUL, Dec. 27— (M —Korean government officials estimated to- day more than half of this capital's civilian population has been evac- uated southward. Before the war Seoul had an es- timated population of 1,500,000 Clarence Ryee, official government spokesman, estimated the figure was closer to 1,000,000 atfer the Reds were driven out by United Nations forces in September. Ryee said will be quiet and southbound trains won't be crowded. Five thousand refugees are being shipped south daily by train and 50,000 others by trucks, ships and planes.” Ryee said minor government of- ficlals and national assemblymen were evacuating but President Rhee and his government will re- main “until ordered to leave by the Eighth Army.” Most of the civilian evacuees are walking.

M. to 3:00 A.M. e e e L WL NO INFORMATION T0 FEW ARMY IN NEED DEERSKINS The Fish and Wildlife Service has received no information from Washington or military sources con- cerning the need of the Army for deerskins for combat troops dn Arctic climates nor has it received any request to reopen or extend the deer seasons in Alaska, Clarence Rhode, Regional Director said to- day. Rhode made the statement in re- gard to a press dispatch dated De- cember 22 from New York, which reported that the Tanners Council of America said the Army needs deerskins and that game-hunting states are being asked to reopen or extend their deer seasons. Rhode said that he is reasonably in military authority had made the suggestion. He said that on previous inquiries the military has stated that it would not be interested in the skins of game animals unless the skins were produced in exceed- ingly large quantities. The Regional Director said he considers it would be the height of folly to open the deer season again in Alaska when the deer are on the beaches to furnish an un- known market, particularly at this time when the deer population is at an especially low point. Rhode said it is known that 99 percent of the skins taken from deer Kkilled during the open season are de- stroyed, both in Alaska and the states. It is the processing of the skins, not the product that is important, Rhode pointed out. He said the dry tanning of skins is the'secret of proper leather wear for Arctic cli- mates. The dry tanning permits leather to breathe. The oil tanning, as is generally used ,seals the leather, making it entirely water- proof but not so desirable for use in the extreme cold. Rhode said he could see no rea- son why the tanners could not adopt the dry tanning process for leathers to be worn in Arctic climates.

And he has coordinated the score and {action in “The Adventures of Icha- |bod and Mr. Toad,” his current all- | cartoon musieal feature film in color by Technicolor which comes to the Capitol Theatre tonight for show- ings tonight and Thursday. The narrdtive and trio of songs delivered off-stage by Bing Crosby | depict character and situation and |comic predicament of Ichabod Crane. Katrina, a sweet ballad; Ich- 'abod, a light rhythm chant; and | The Headless Horseman, a fantastic jitter song. Words and cleffing for | the three are by Don Raye and Gene | |de Paul. | There is also heard the Merrily) Song, music by Frank Churchill and | | Larry Morey, with new lyrics by | Morey and Ray Gilbert. It comports | {with the adventurous nature and| | exploits of Mr. Toad, in the latter | sequence of the Disney production. Basil Rathbone is heard narrating the Mr. Toad adventure. | Oliver Wallace, veteran of Dis-| ney's musical department, wrote the | i sparkling general score. Orchestra- | tion is by Joseph S. Dubin. The| score conjures the style and atmos- | phere of old English pastoral melo- {dies for the Mr. Toad part of the film, while the style of early Ameri- can dance music was adapted to the | farmhouse festival in Ichabod. Mu- sic also plays an exciting part in the flight of the schoolteacher from Sleepy Hollow. "HOMECOMING" IS BIG ATTRACTION AT 20TH CENTURY A production of exceptional merit is coming to the 20th Century The- atre “tonight. It is “Homecoming” with Clark Gable, Lana Turner, | Anne Baxter and John Hodiak in | the principal roles. | Based on an original story by Sid- ney Kingsley, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his “Men in White,” the M-G-M drama concerns two medi- cal men, one the smug, overly-suc- cessful midwestern surgeon Ulysses Johnson, played by Gable; the other | the visionary and altruistic bacteri- ologist Robert Sunday, enacted by Hodiak. Ulysses is so caught up with [hxs rich clients and the country club i set life he leads with his attractive, young wife, Miss Baxter, that he | turns a deaf ear to Dr. Sunday’s plea for aid in rehabilitating a neighbor- | ing, malaria-ridden slum area. The outbreak of World War II of- | fers Ulysses another chance to shine when he goes overseas as a com- placent major. But his complacency is soon shattered by the experiences he undergoes under bombardment and his growing love for the spirited and valiant nurse, “Snapshot” Mc- Call (Miss Turner), It is “Snapshot” who succeeds in making a humani- tarian out of the smug surgeon where Dr. Sunday had failed, and when she is killed in the historic Battle of the Bulge and hostilities have ceased, Ulysses returns to his wife a disillusioned but better man.
