Indian Tribal j
flights Supreme
■
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A deci
sion enjoined the Washington fish
eries and game directors from in
terfering with fishing by Quileute
tritoesmeH' “in the Quileute River
and tidal waters thereof, as it
flows through, borders upon, or
touches the lands of the Quileute
Indian river reservation or in the
tidal waters of the Pacific ocean
as said ocean borders upon or
touches such reservation."
Zimmerman said the court’s ac
tion “has finally determined Indian
tribal rights in ancestral fishing
grounds." Indian office executives
said the ruling gives all of the In
dians from the Columbia river
northward, who earn their living
principally by fishing, the right tu
fish without state interference.
Spokesman for the national can
uers association and other indus
try representatives, asked about
the ruling,'said they had not yet
studied it: They said such o ruling
could react’ severely against Alas
kan cannery enterprises, where
companies fish in tidal waters off
Indian reservations.
One -Indian office official said
10,000 Indians in Southeastern
Alaska, 10,000 to 15,000 Aleuts
and Eskimbefe,‘vand perhaps 2,000
Lndians in’ Washington slate may
benefit by'the ruling.

Martial Law Lifted
In Palestine
JERUSALEM, </P) — The Pales
tine government lifted martial
hnv today after 15 days of British
army rule, officially reported im
posed to check violence by the
Jewish underground, over sections
of the Holy Land.
Some 25,000 of Jerusalem’s Jews
welcomed the end at noon in a
virtual holiday spirit. They
thronged to the edges of the wire
guarded military zone an hour be
forehand to await release. Police
hud combed their homes for ter
rorist suspects during the martial
law peiod.
Martial laws had cut off some
250,000 Jews from the rest of Pal
estine. The government proclaimed
some success in the hunt for armed
Jewish opponents of Britain’s man
date policies, but violence con
tinned last night.
Joyous shouting rose to a high
pitch as martial law rules expired
and grinning troops stood aside!
Many soldiers exchanged banter
with the Jews as they climbed atop
bren gun carriers and watched the
Jews themselves roll away the
barbed wire that had penned them
in.
Shortly before martial law was
l'fted, a Jerusalem military court
sentenced to death Moshe Barasani
21-year-old Jew, for carrying a
hand grenade. He had been arrest
ed March 9 near the Jerusalem
martial law area.

Some diplomats said Bevin’s re

trend toward a secondary role in
issues on which she could grace
fully seek a neutral line.
In a meeting of deputy ministers
the United States launched a plea
for wider participation by smaller
nations in drafting the peace fori
Germany. Ambassador Robert j
Murphy urged a formula that!
would admit 26 countries, instead
of the four powers and 1R smaller
countries heretofore invited to pre
sent their views to the deputies at
London. Murphy’s list added Mex
ico, Bolivia, Iran and the Philip
pines.
Murphy was opposed by Soviet
deputy foreign minister Andrei
Vishinsky, who said he wanted
each nation approved separately
rather than admitted by a general
formula. He said he did not object
to Iran.
In objecting to a French propos
al on the same subject, V;shinsky
attacked any participation by Tur
key and quoted what he said were
the words of a United States politi
cian that “Turkey grew fat on the
war.”
V:shinsky objected to a British
proposal to set up four committees
consisting of representatives of the
big four and each of the IS smal
ler states represented at London
to handle various treaty-drafting
chores. Vishinsky said the British
plan was a “large deep sea with
no shores” and would turn the
