PAGE TWO MacARTHUR KEEPS UP HIS FIGHT ASSISTANCE FOR MINING COMES UP NOW THROUGH DMA (Continued from Page One) administrator, explained to the House Subcommittee on Mining last (Continued from Page One) views that have provoked a storm) in Washington, Paris, London and | other western capitals. | British Viewpoint | In London, & foreign office spokes- ' man said Britain has expressed privately to the United States its concern over the MacArthur row. “Our viewpoint has been made known through our ambassador, Sir Oliver Franks, through normal con- versations,” the spokesman said. He insisted it was not a formal protest — usually a stern measure. No Drastic Action In Washington the White House maintained silence on any possible presidential rebuke that might be planned for the general. One highly placed congressional source said no drastic action against MacArthur was in immediate prospect. While administration supporters generally increased their criticism of MacArthur for urging use of Chaing Kai-Shek’s troops, Rep. Joe Martin of Massachusetts, the House Republican leader, supported a move to bring MacArthur home to report personally to Congress on the Pacific situation. In Tokyo, Rep. O. K. Armstrong (R-Mo) told the American Cham- ber of Commerce he did not think MacArthur exceeded military auth- ority in his recent policy statements. He added that any action to recall the general “at this time would be the greatest victory for Communion since the fall of China.” b 12,000 HOMELESS AS RESULT, FLOODS By Associated Press Flood waters spilled out over thousands of acres of land in a three-state midwest area today, making more than 12,000 persons homeless. i Property damage mounted to an estimated $3,000,000. Fed by spring rains and thaws, the swollen rivers and streams over- flowed into several communities in Minnesota, Towa and South Dakota: The surging waters covered rich farm land, highways and railroads. The Red Cross and National Guardsmen were on the scene in many of the flood-stricken areas. The Minnesota River in western and southern Minnesota was caus- ing the major damage. Some 5,000 persons have been forced from their homes in Mankato, Minn., other residents along the lowlands areas of the turbulent stream were ready to evacuate.

Financial assistance for explora- tion, the only program administered directly by DMA, is expected to ge under way shortly. Within a $10, 000,000 limitation, the governmen will make individual contracts tc pay 50 to 90 per cent of the cost of prospecting for new domestic sources of metals end minerals on the strategic list. Types of Assistance Direct government loans for plan’ expansion, working capital and pro- { dugtion probably will be the last of the various authorized types of as- sistance to be put into operation. The reasons are twofold: 1. The Defense Production Ac stresses that expansion of produc tion must be carried out as mucl as possible by private interests. 2. Loan transactions require more careful scrutiny for protection of government funds than other as- sistance programs. However, the House committee was told that it may become neces- sary and desirable for the govern- ment to make loans that private banks are not willing to consider. In all matters except exploration contracts, the DMA will review ap- plications and certify their neces- sity to other agencies for final de- cision. Applications for exploration as- sistance may be submitted on forms to be provided to the Defense Min- erals Administration in Washington jor to the nearest DMA field exe- cutive officer, Addresses of the field offices and the areas served include: Alaska — Federal building, P.

The award Was made by the U. S. Court of Claims here; which said the Indians were entitled to interest on the amount from the year 1855. The Justice Department contested the interest payment, in an appeal to the Supreme Court. The depart- ment said other Indian cases ex- pected to be filed in the claims court conceivably could raise total claims of more than $14,000,000,000.

The Supreme Court rejected the interest claim in a. brief, unsigried opinion. Justice Jackson took no part in the case, making the cburt's vote 8-0. The unsigned opinion said it is the traditional rule that interest on claims against the United States canniot be recovered “in the ab- sence of an express provision to the contrary in the relevant statute or contract.” In othér decisions: 1. The court agreed to step into the government’s thus far unsuc- cessful efforts to outlaw medical and hospital insurance plans operated exclusively by doctors’ societies. ‘The Justice Department asked the high tribunal to review a lower court’s finding that such plans do not violate anti-trust laws. The test case was brought in Ore- gon in 1948 against the Oregon Physicians’ Service, its sponsor, Ore- gon State Medical Society affiliated county societies and a number of doctor members. The court unanimously struck down the conviction of two Florida Negroes sentenced to die for the rape of a white girl. 2 Two justices protested that the case stirred deep racial feelings in the area and that this was “ex- ploited to the limit by the press.” Justice Jackson wrote that the court majority had reversed the con- victions because Negroes were dis- criminated against in the selection of a trial jury. 4 The court’s action means that Samuél Shepard and Walter Irvin will have to be tried again — in a different court — for the rape on July 16, 1949, of Nprma Padgette, then 17. The girl was attacked near Grove- land, Fla. The Board ¢! Public Welfare op- ened its three-day session here this morning with all members present.

BOARD Juneau Rotary Club had a busy luncheon hour at the Baranof Hotel Tuesday noon with election of a new board of directors, a talk by Ralph Mize, committee reports, and a plea by Dr. C. Earl Albrecht to aid in keeping the city library open for the summer. Board members elected were Bill | Ellis, O. F. Benecke, Hurff Saun- ders Eric Newbould, Floyd Guertin and Neil Fritchman. After his suggestion that Rotary take some definite action toward finding quarters for the city li-: brary when it has to be moved from the City Hall, soon to be de- from Skagway: Wasser, Mrs. William imolished, Dr. Albrecht was named chairman of a committee to do that. Milt Daniel, of the Soap Box Der:y committee, repor- ted a good turnout at the meet- ing held last night and said it ap- péars there’ll be a larger partici- pation than last year. Ralph Mize, in charge of con- struction here for the Alaska Na- tive Service, gave an inieresting talk on some of the constructicn problems in Alaska. He pointed out the difficulties encountered in set- ting foundations in permafrost, handling utility lines, getting water | supply, the labor market, the short | building season and in many placee ' chairman troubles in getting in construction materials, When the military department started its large scale building pro- gram in the north, Mize said, there were few studies on the problems to be encountered and much in- formation was obtained from the Russians who were far ahead of | the Alaskans and Canadi inj this matter due to their con B2 tion in Siberia.
