THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXIX., NO. 11,961 JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1951 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS U.S. Oulines North Pacific Fishing Plan TOKYO, Nov. 9—P—American delegates presented Canadian and Japanese representatives with a proposed treaty regulating North Pacific fishing and announced to- day they were not here to horse trade. The American plan calls for a two-point program to conserve fishing resources of the North Pa- cific. Its details were disclosed to- day by William C. Herrington, head of the American delegation. Under the American plan three powers would: the 1. Create a commission to con- sider conservation problems and mediate any not covered by pre- sent agreements, 2. For comservation purposes, waive their rights to exploit a high seas fishery resource. (This would apply only under certain speci- fied circumstances.) The signatories would not give up their rights to fish their own territorial or adjacent waters al- ready being exploited, or other re- sources being worked “on a substan- tial scale.” It would specifically reserve the rights of Americans and Cana- dians to fish “the waters of the Pacific coasts of the United States and Canada from and including the waters of the Gulf of Alaska southward.” Herrington said the plan would | not place heavy restrictive mea- sures on any one nation: He said 85 percent of Japanese fishermen operate “within sight of their own coast,” except for their tuna fishing fleeis, He said most Canadian and U.S. fishermen op-! erate within 100 miles of their coasts. ’ 1 The Japanese press has expressed | concern - that restrictive measures| would affect Japan more than the., other- mations becAlfse” Japari de- | pends more heavily on its fishing Shattuck Family in Honolulu The Curtis Shattuck family of Jui Amcrican World Airways.

Jo and Nina Crumrine, Alaska artists, adopted him before he had | his first teeth. Where they went, he went. His playgrounds ranged from the vacant lot beside the Nor- dale hotel in Fairbanks to New| York's Central Park. 1 It was a fine life—a fine nine lives, you might say — and now Alaska’s most traveled cat lies in a pet cemetery.

By DREW PEARSON | ASHINGTON — Next to his grandchildren, what General Eisen- | hower enjoyed in Washington was playing bridge with Chief Justice Fred Vinson, ex-White House jester George Allen and Sid Richardson, the Texas oilman’ ! Early in the game when Allen was winning, he remarked to Eisen- hower, who is supposed to be one| of the best bridge players in the country: “I'm going to take an hour off ev- ery day to give you lessons.” Later Eisenhower started winning. “I think I had better arrange, for you to come over to Paris and play cards,” he remarked solemnly to_Allen. The luncheon Eisenhower had with President Truman was high- lighted by the general’s view both on peace and the difficulties of the job in Europe. Eisenhower told Truman that he had no intention of leaving his post in Paris until his job was done. Then emphasizing his agreement with Truman that peace is the —— e integrated into the United States when it is ready,” he said. Aspinall was impressed with his first hand look at the Territory land declared he regarded it most | necessary to the defense of the United States. The Colorado Congressman who distinguished himself in the Celor- | ado State Senate as fair-minded, has evidently maintained the same attitude as a Congressman.

T. Tucker SEATTLE, Nov. 9—(P—Mrs. Gert- rude Tucker Meehan, 31, daughter of a former U. S. Marshal at Sitka, Alaska, was bound over to Superior Court on a grand larceny charge yesterday by Justice of the Peace William Hoar. Filed July 16, it accuses Mrs. Meehan of drawing about $328 in state aid to dependent children funds to which she was not entitled, having failed to notify welfare auth- crities of her marriage to a Coast Guardsman, which resulted in her receiving an $85-a-month govern- ment allotment. The court was told Mrs. Meehan has made full restitution. The Sup- erior Court will now dispose of the case. VISITOR FROM FAIRBANKS Glenn C.

He said that the Canadians | were vitally interested in the de- | velopment of their counftry and surface and air transportation prob- lems were considered. Visitors Introduced Following the regular business the visiting Congressmen were intro- duced by Delegate E. L. ((Bob) Bartlett. Each spoke briefly. Wayne N. Aspinall (D-Colo.) spoke for statehood and declared that Alaska reminded him of the pioneer spirit of freedom in his! home state of Colorado. Norris Poulson (R-Calif) hinted that Alaska could take a leaf from the California notebook in the use | of “super, colossal, g:gantic” in - ‘cribing the Yerritory. - Alaska’s Potentialities Wesley A. D'Ewart (R-Mont) frankly admitted that the commit- tee made the trip now instead of next year because the Congressmen would have to be home “mending their fences.” He stressed the po- tentialities of Alaska in mining, oil, fish and timber in future develop- ment. Said he, “Alaska has oppor- tunities beyond anything I have ever imagined.” Frank T. Bow (R-Ohio) announc- !ed himself an advocate of Alaska statehood and humorously mention- ed that “Ohlo did have Indians"— The Cleveland Indians.” He plugged his home state as “the cradle and mother of presidents” and added, “We're expecting again.” Gov. Ernest Gruening spoke brief- 1y explaining “democracy in action” as expressed by the subcommittee taking the current hearings and explained that it was helph'x] for Congressmen “to know our prob- lems.” Chester D. McMullen (D-Fla) chairman of fhe House Indian Af- fairs Committee, acknowledged the importance of the settlement of Native land claims and declared that the development of Alaska had only been scratched on the surface. Preston Peden, attorney for the group, Mrs. W. Clark of Anchor- age, recorder of the hearings, and Hugh J. Wade, area director for the Alaska Native Service, were intro- duced as well as Maj. Steve Done- gan and Capt. A. Grady, pilots of Four Sentenced fo Prison for Larceny From Fish Traps KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. 9—® ' men have been sentenced s after conviction of mon from fish traps— the first such case in Ketchikan in many years. The four men and their sentences were Paul Kath, 27 months; Thor Albrightson, 21 months; William Horn, 19'¢ months, and Ernest Gar- ner, 18 months. Kath was hired by Pacific-Ameri- can Fisheries as a trap patrolman at Kah-Shakes Cove, south of Ket- chikan. It was from these traps the fish were taken by Kath and the others. Albrightson is owner of the fishing boat Lumen, used in the thefts, and Horn and Garner were crewmen on the boat. Earlier, three watchmen on the traps, Paul Schreiber, Charles Pet- erson and Ernest Kohler, received suspended sentences of 18 months each on the same charges. The suspensions were recommended by | the government attorneys because the men turned prosecution wit- nesses. * Senafors Name (zech Diplomat Top Commie Spy WASHINGTON, Nov. 9—(®—A Czech diplomat assigned to duty here has been described by Senate Internal Secarity investigators as a top Communist spy. He was named by Senators Mc- Carran (D-Nev) and O'Conor (D- ND) last night as Col. Oto Biheler, military and air attache to the Czechoslovakian embassy. The Sen- ators said he is now in Czecho- slovakia. McCarran, chairman of the Sen- ate Internal Security committee, said “it is known to our intelligence ggents ~hdt Bih€r, foi two years, has been gathering information on this country’s research into bacter- iological warfare and atomic wea-: pons and other advanced methods of defense.” In a separate statement, O'Conor described the Czech as “a key fig- ure in the Communist espionage ap- paratus in the United States.” Sma]l Nations Beg Security af the U.l S. would do well to !ollowi‘ their example. Foss indicated that PARIS, Nov. 9—{M—Small na- tions pleaded for greater collective security against the possibility of another Korea today in speeches be- fore the United Nations Assembly. Their pleas followed discouraging new tough talk by the United States and Russia, As they spoke, U.S. Ambassador Philip C. Jessup, in a special news conference, challenged the Soviet Union to start disarmament talks in the U.N. now — not to wait until some time before June 1, 1952, as the Russians proposed yesterday. Jessup also accused the Russians of trying to by-pass the U.N. in ask- ing a world-wide arms conference. Russia’s proposal was in answer to a U.S. plan — also put before the U.N. General Assembly yesterday a census of armaments and progres- sive reduction of both conventional and atomic weapons. Jessup said the U.S. and her British and French Allies would push for quick U.N. ac- tion on their proposal. In the General Assembly meeting today F. W. Doidge of New Zealanc urged increased measures of collec- tive security to give the free world strength to repel any future aggres- sions such as occurred in Korea Ship Momonh Denali scheduled to sail from Se- attle today.

Air Force plane which has taken the party throughout Alaska. Col. Lars Larson, Adjutant of the Alaska National Guard, was intro- duced as a new member. Visitors were .Willlam Montan, Oklahoma City contractor, and Coastgu man Ross Durant, Jr. The many-sided question of the¥ settlement of aboriginal land claims in Alaska gained several additional facets when it was aired before a | House of Representatives subcom- | mittee in the senate chambers of | the Federal building in Juneau yes- terday afternoon. The subcommittee saw many ob- stacles hurled into the path of a bill sponsored by E. L. “Bob” Bart- lett, Alaska delegate, as it headed toward consideration by Congress. The bill outlines a plan of settling land claims of long standing by’ Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos of Alaska. All witnesses who appeared before the group agreed that the question of settlement of claims was a vital one, but there was no full agreement. with the bill as it now stands. How- ever, most Wwitnesses expressed thoughts that the bill could be amended and made workable. Members of the subcommittee who conducted similar hearings in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kotzebue, Nome and Kodiak thus far and who were in Juneau yesterday are: Rep. Norris Poulson (R-Calif); Rep. | Wayne N. Aspinall (D-Colo); Rep. Chester D. McMullen (D-Fla); Rep. Wesley A, D’EwWart (RcMont); Rep. Frank T. Bow (R-Ohio); Delegate E. L. Bartlett, Alaska; and Preston Peden, counsel for the group. Claim 382,000 Acres William L. Paul, Sr., who said he had been a member of the executive committee of the Alaska Native Brotherhood for more than 20 years, ;but said he was appearing before | the group as a representative of the Tee-hit-ton tribe near Wrangell lit the most spectacular fireworks when he said his tribe could prove claims to some 382,000 acres of land near Wrangell worth $8,000,000. The land |@escrived by Paul extends from the i aorth end of Prince of Wales island i&own to the Kasan peninsula and “umludes a large-area on Revilla- gigido island. Paul was insistent in questioning ‘why the United States government was careful to deal fairly in most | transactions, but always wanted to take property away from the In- dians. He said that as far as the talk about there being no aboriginal rights because of the Russian agree- | ment with the United States, he | could prove that the Russians de- feated only part of a small tribe when they took Sitka, and ' had never occupied or possessed one | acre in the area he now claims for | his tribe. Workable Amendments R. E. Robertson, appearing cn behalf of the Juneau chamber of }commerce, said some parts of Bert- lett’s bill were good but needed workable amendments. He said it should be, decided whether the claims have merit or not, and em- phasized that they needed to be | settled. But he also stated that there had been a court case which the chamber of commerce thought had ended the question of any ab- original rights in" Alaska. He cited the case of Miller versus the United States in the Appellate Court in San Francisco where the judgment was rendered that no ab- original land claims could be al- lowed in Alaska because the Rus- sian-American treaty of 1867 said the land in the Territory was sold to the United States without en- cumbrances. He voiced the opinion that land claims should be heard before a court and not before a commission as Bartlett’s bill provides. He pointed out the importance of the manner of disposition of tidelands in Southeast Alaska. Tideland Control “He who controls’ the tidelands can block any development of the uplands,” Robertson said. “If there' is to be development of mines and | pulp mills, there must be access to the tidelands.” He said he was lett’s bill might afraid that Bart- convey tidelands to tribal groups and deny access to industry. He also pointed out the importance of tidelands fishing and was emphatic in pleading that tidelands should not be deeded to any group or individual. He and others questioned the re- habilitation section of the bill which provides that 20 percent of a re- volving fund of $40 million dollars be used for help in getting Natives started on new claims, in new busi- | nesses and for educational pur- | poses. Most of the witnesses and some of the congressmen seemed to feel that this should be made sep- arate from the land claims part of the bill Answering a question by Repre- sentative D’Ewart, Robertson agreed that the land claims must be settled to promote the development of | Alaska. Many Objections Voiced As House Subcommitfee Hears Witnesses on Land (laims ANB Views William L. Paul, Jr, read a lengthy statement to the committee which, he said, generally expressed the views of the Alaska Native Brotherhood. He appeared as sec- retary of the Brotherhood instead of in his position as attorney for the natives. He said the possessory rights of Indians of Southeast Alaska are perfectly good. But he pointed out the difficulty in obtaining *“paper! tile” to the land. He said so much of the land had clouded titles because of the in- ability to get paper titles from the United States, that the Alaska Na- tive Brotherhood might agree to a reservdtion plan in order to have full legal ownership of their lands When later questioned by Repre- sentative McMullen, acting chair- man of the subcommittee, about his sincerity concerning the estab- lishment of reservations, Paul re- iterated his stand: Reservation Plan “Many of us feel that a reserva- tion plan would be acceptable be- cause that much of a title would'| be better than no title at all. Some- thing must be done or we'll have nothing left but swamps and desert land.” Representative Poulson said he thought any reservation plan would be pure radial discrimination and segregation. Paul later said that he could agree to the principle of Bartlett's bill but indicated that a reseryation plan would be more ac- ceptable than the bill as it now stands. Representative D'Ewart questioned Paul about part of his statement in which he said that “The United States as well as Russia (at least to 1917) has always subscribed to private international law.” D'Ewart also questioned the statement that ladiun possessory’ rights are perfectly good title, sub- | ject only to a condemnation pro- cedure. Against Reservation Norman C. Banfield, Juneau at- torney, appearing, he said, in un-, official capacity for the American, Legion, Department of Alaska, pointed out that it was necessary to make a settlement of land claims been added. Governor Makes Fishermen's Board Appoiniments The names of the four appointive members of the newly created Board for Care of Sick and Disabled Fish- ermen was announced by Gov. Er- nest Gruening today. The four members are: L. Adolph Mathisen, Petersburg, appointed for a four-year term; Walter Pihlman, Ketchikan, for a two-year term; Eliodor S. Risoff, Anchorage, for a three-year term; and Gunnar Berg- gren, of Naknek, for a one-year term. ‘The board was created by the last Territorial legislature and also calls for three non-appointive mem- bers to serve on the board. These are: The Commissioner of Labor to act as chairman and administrative officer; the Commissioner of Health; and the Commissioner of Taxation. The Board has been functioning to a small extent, and it is expected that activities will increase now that the appointive members have Appointive members still must be approved by the next legislature. The act which created the Board provides that appointive members must be selected from licensed com- mercial fishermen who have en- gaged in fishing in the Territory for five years immediately preceding their appointment. Mathisen was born in Norway, coming to Petersburg in 1916. He has been a commercial fisherman in most of the northwest and Alas- kan coastal waters. Pihlman has 14 years of fishing in Alaska, 11 of these around Ketchikan as a hall- but fisherman and a purse seiner. Risoff has been a Cook Inlet fish- erman since 1935. Berggren has fished the Bristol Bay waters for years. The act to care for sick and dis- abled fishermen calls for a fish-| ermen’s fund. This fund will be derived from 30 percent of money, collected for commercial fishing li- censes and from appropriated money. Commercial fishermen not covered pensation Act are ible for Al fits under the act. The fishermen's fund will be used mainly for medi- cal and hospital expenses, emer- gency treatment, and in some cases transportation costs of disabled fishermen may be paid. but not necessary to give title for| possessory rights for wide areas In- dians have merely wandered oven‘ He asserted that it was undemo-| cratic and was an act of segregation | to establish reservations. He asked that those now established be dis- solved. He also asked for the ab-| olition of Native schools because, he | said, this too is a practice of segre- gation that is harmful. “This is not the American way and it is not the Alaskan way,” Banfield said, 1 William Paul, Sr., asked the sub-| committee why his tribe could not deal directly with companies who/ were interested in bringing industry | to Alaska. “As leng as we maintain our claims, there is no such things as public lands in the area which we claim,” Paul said. “We are capable of dealing with companies who wish to use our lands. But why can't the United States act in a transfer of lands as a trustee for us and let development go ahead.” He maintained that Chief Jus- tice John Marshall had once given an opinion that Indian possession of land must be considered in the light of the mode of living and that lands used for hunting and fishing could to an extent be claimed. Paul said his tribe would rather own their land and have an in- come than outright money, and stated that it was his opinion that the Bartlett bill would not be ade- quate in settling the claims. He broke up the hearing as he sald, “We would rather congress would give us the money and let us waste it ourselves!” ‘The grbup moves on to Sitka for a hearing today, and to Ketchikan to begin a hearing Saturday.
