H.B. 4388 Hearing
Held Last Night
(Continued from Page One)
for the development of the terri
tory.
Bert Bell, president of the Arc
tic Native Brotherhood presented
the views of that group, first ex
pressing appreciation to the
Chamber for making the meeting
arrangements and helping the na
tives. He stated that the native
group was in favor of the settle
ment of all claims and the sooner
the better. He also favored the
revolving fund part of the bill,
if it meant that native children
would be aided in getting better
education. When questioned as to
reservations, he stated that his
people were not in favor of them.
Rep. D’Ewart explained seven
ways that a native could now ac
quire land in the territory, for
the benefit of the native people
present.
Bert Bell was followed by Sam
Mogg, also a representative of
the Native Brotherhood, who ex
pressed himself in well chosen
words as to approval of the first
part of the bill, but also asked
for clarification on the loans so
that his people would understand
the bill better. One of the things
he stressed was that his fore
fathers lived off the land and
got along with plenty of game
and natural resources which no
longer exist. Speaking for the
12,000 people in the area, he ex
pressed the opinion that this bill
might be the solution to help the
natives establish themselves and
at the same time stabilize the
changing economic picture.
Frank Degnan, representing the
people of Unalakleet, expressed
the fears of his people with “if
we have to sell our land, where
will we go.” He stated that the
Unalakleet people wanted the
claims settled if possible.
Charles Moon of Haycock also
expressed his views briefly in
favor of the bill.
At the request of the natives,
Senator Howard Lyng spoke in
behalf of the native people of
Northwestern Alaska and said
“No other race of people under
the American flag are as happy
and smiling as the Eskimos, 90
per cent of whom, at the present
time, have no possible chance for
a higher education without help
from their government,” and he
hoped H.B. 4388 would be the
solution to raising the education
al standards and allowing private
capital to start a normal devel
opment in the territory.
Lester Bronson and Paul Dry
den spoke in behalf of the native
people and their satisfaction in
the Bartlett bill.
The native people expressed
their appreciation to the mem
bers of the committee -and to
Delegate Bartlett for making this
trip as they realized that these
busy congessmen would like to
be home with their families dur
ing the recess of Congress.
The party left early this mor
ning for Kodiak where they will
hold another hearing. Because of
their very tight schedule they

Dear Sir:
Please don’t be angry when I’m
bothering you with something j
that might be a little silly.
The other day I was reading
•an article in a newspaper about
Alaska and it said that women
are rare there. Well, now comes
my story:
I’m 22 years old and I would
like to get married, but over here
in Germany it is very hard to j
find a nice husband. They just
want to marry a girl when she
has money, but I’m poor, because
my parents lost everything dur
ing the war. Maybe you would be
so kind and help me. Please!
Yours truly

To the Mayor of Nome:
I read in a magazine that in |
Alaska there is a shortage of j
women. Perhaps a German
woman could might find a place
there and I take a chance on 1
writing.
Am 53 years old, very healthy,
a good cook and do housework.
Speak Hollandish, French, and a
little English. Look good for my
age, brown hair, brown eyes,
good figure.
My girl friend 27 years old,
slender, tall, blue eyes is also
looking for a job.
If you have nothing that you
would offer us, please burn this

letter.

Big Three Meeting
Urged Al Sixth UN
General Assembly
PARIS, (^P)—President Vincent
Auriol of France opened the sixth
session of the United Nations
General Assembly Tuesday with
an appeal for a Truman-Chur
chill-Stalin meeting in Paris dur
ing this session to discuss world
tensions.
Auriol told delegates of 60 na
tions, gathered in the theater of
the red and gold Palais de Chail
lot, that such a meeting would be
welcomed with joy throughout
the world.
Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico
was elected president of the as
sembly.
The French president did not
mention Prime Minister Stalin,
Prime Minister Churchill or Pres
ident Truman by name, but re
ferred to them as the “distin
guished men toward whom all
anxious eyes are turned.” He ad
ded he was sure that a meeting of
the three in private and within
the scope of the U.N. could make
progress in easing tensions.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Y. Vishinsky was at his desk in
the hall as Auriol spoke. So were
U. S. Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, British Foreign Secre
tary Anthony Eden, and French
Foreign Minister Robert Schu
man. The western Big Three for
eign ministers hurried to the op
ening session after a final confer
ence at the French Foreign Min
istry to map strategy on an Amer
ican peace plan which is expected
to dominate this session.
President Truman has replied
to previous suggestions of a Big
Four meeting that he would be
glad to meet Stalin in Washing
ton. Stalin never has been willing
to go far from the U.S.S.R. There
is no indication that either has
changed his mind.
The American effort to make
this session a decisive one fcrr
world peace envisions these
moves:
A reported proposal for a cen
sus of armaments, including atom
bombs, under strict international
inspection; investigation on the
scene by a U.N.-appointed com
mittee to find whether conditions
in divided Germany will permit
holding of free elections; inten
sive effort to bring peace to Kor
ea and a drive for conclusion of
an Austrian treaty of indepen
dence.

Egyptian Torso Tosser
EL PASO, Tex., (^P)—Sheppard

NORTH KOREAN "SOLDIER"
WITH THE FIRST MARINE
Division, Korea, (/P) — Escorting
one North Korean prisoner to the
rear was like taking a 13-year
old orphan for a walk in the park
and climaxing the outing with an
ice-cream cone.
He was just a kid; no bigger
than 10-year-old boys in your
neighborhood. The mascot-sized
soldier had deserted from the

lieving that Americans would not
mistreat him. He carried a Rus

Churchill did not specify just
what remedies he has in mind.
He said Britain has a deficit
crisis worse than 1949’s and is
running into debt abroad at the
rate of nearly $2 billion a year.
