To Be Staged |
In Alaska
—
WINNIPEG, l/P) — The biggest'
cold weather test involving Cana
dian and United States troops and
equipment yet to be staged in the
Churchill area will take place next
winter, Dr. Paul A. Siple of the
United States war department said
here last night.
Described by American army
officers accompanying him as the
foremost Arctic expert in the
United States, Dr. Siple added in
an interview that the experiments
probably would take in more than
300 American troops and a cor
respondingly higher number of
Canadian service personnel.
Dr. Siple and army associates
paused here overnight on their
way to Churchill for a brief in
spection of facilities there. From
Churchill they will proceed to
Fairbanks, where winterization
tests are also planned.
It took 100,000 slaves 30 years
to build the great pryamid of Giza.

HEARING ON RESERVA
TION FOR SHUNGNAK
NATIVE TRIBE
(Continued From Page One
to the proposition as it was un
American and against the Terri
torial laws as well as the mining
laws of the U. S. Government.
.Garnet Martin, representative of
the Fish and Wildlife Service
stated that his department as a
whole was opposed to the deal. He
stated that the proposition is un
just and unfair to the white set
tlers and miners who pay the
taxes, etc. Either the natives are
wards of the government or are
equal to the whites. They cannot
be both.
Upon question Mr. Edelstein
stated that the natives may have
the reservation by a majority vote
of native residents of the Shun
gnak district with the approval of
the Secretory of the Interior.
Mr. Flakne further explained
that the natives, or rather the In
l terior department, may lease the
mining property if they desire to
a company or companies.
A native woman from Koyok,
! the only native present, gave wit
ness that the petition asking for
the reservation was circulated by
the ANS teacher in that area, a
Mr. Marvin Warblow, who told
I the natives, she stated, that they
would get many good things and
easy living on the reservation.
She also was opposed to tbe res
ervation.
Jack Dowd, representing the
American Legion, and who was
commissioner at Kotzebue for
many years, repeated many of the
arguments already mentioned and
added that it looked like the
Shungnak natives could fish and
hunt at Kotzebue, Kivalina, etc.,
where he desired, but his land
would be kept just for Sungnak.
This could only cause hard feel
ings by its injustice. It is his be
lief that equal rights should work
both ways, and it looks like the
white mart is now in the back seat
and needs more help than the na
tive.
The meeting was adjourned with
the information that further pro
tests could be submitted in writ
ing to the Secretary of Interior at
Washington, D. C., before Oct. 1.

Near Riot In
Chicago Over
Negro Tenant
CHICAGO, (i^P)—A crowd esti
mated by police at almost 3,000
dispersed early Saturday from the
vicinity of a new south side hous
ing project after 84 persons were

derly conduct in protesting the ad
mission there of Negro tenants.
At the height of the disturbance
last night, stones were thrown

“Double-Check”
Double Crosses
“Numbers” Plot
WASHINGTON, <PA>—Newspa
per habit of double-checking
sources of information thwarted
I what U. S. treasury officials sus
| pect was an attempt to make a
j killing in the “numbers” game by
rigging published figures on the
, department’s cash balance.
Each day, the treasury issues a
statement of its financial condi
tion. The statement, besides its
value to persons interested in gov
ernment finance, is eagerly await
ed by “numbers” players because
in many such games, the payoff
hinges on figures shown in the
cash balance.
A few minutes after the state
ment was issued recently, a man
called news services, identified
himself as a treasury department
[ public relations official and said
there was a misprint in the day’s
figures.
The newspapermen double
checked, found no employee in the
division by the name given and
learned there had been no mis
print.

Pribilof Seal
Population Rising
WASHINGTON, </P> — The fish
and wildlife service says the fur
seal population of Alaska’s Pribil
of Islands has reached a new peak
of 3,613,653—a 6.72 per cent in
crease over the 1946 total—with a
value of more than $100,000,000.
The agency said the catch, how
ever, from the Pribilofs famous
herd, for the season which ended
July 31, was only 61,447 skins,
3,276 less than the take during
the summer of 1946.
It gave this reason: the young
male seals began to mingle with
the family groups earlier this
summer than usual, forcing a pre
mature halt in sealing operatkfhs. |
Only the three-year old bache-;
lor seals are taken for their skins.'
They can be killed without injury
to females, cubs and bulls only
early in the season when they seg
regate themselves from the other
animals.
The wildlife service said the
Pribilof herd, containing 132,279
animals when the government took
it over in 1910, now represents
about 80 per cent of all the fur
seals in the world. The federal
government has received more
than $12,000,000 from the sale of
1,500,000 skins.

PATAVIA, Jav. i/P)—The Indo
nesian Republican army said
Dutch forces put new pressure to
rt y on the northern and western
approaches to central Java, which
the Indonesians hold.
Dutch army headquarters said
the Republicans broke into the
Marioera Island capital ol Fame
kasan Sunday and were driven off
during shayp street fighting. The
island war officially was stopped
earlier this month (on paper at
least' by a cease-fire order urged
by the United Nations security
council.
The Republicans said the Dutch
attacked Poering, on the south
Java coast 62 miles west of Jag
jakarta, the Indonesian cap
ital. The communique reported lo
cal Dutch attacks against six
north central front villages be
tween Salatiga and Ambarawa
about 37 miles north of Jogjakar
ta.
The Indonesian Republic yes
terday announced that it had ac
cepted a “last chance” offer of the
United States’ good offices in set
tling the Dutch-Indonesian con
flict, but emphasized that this ac
tion did not supersede an obliga
tion to comply with any U. N.
security council decisions in In
donesia.
