Too Large

i sEkimo leaders oppose the pro
I posed size of a reservation for na
tives planned in this Arctic coast
area.
Seventy-five natives attended a
hearing Saturday and their
spokesman said they believed a
reservation of 750 square miles
area, as tentatively proposed by
; the Alaska Service, was too large
I for a village reservation for Bar
j row.
The area would be too small,
however, they said, to protect
hunting, fishing and trapping
areas which Eskimos have used
for generations.
The hearing was originally set
for Fairbanks, Oct. 10, but be
cause of the distance and travel
costs for Barrow natives, it was
transferred here. Atty. George

Molotov Says
Peace Conference
“Unsatisfactory"
PARIS, Oct. 14 </P) — Russian
foreign minister V. M. Molotov to
day attacked as “unsatisfactory”
many of the results in the four
power foreign ministers' New
York meeting.
Molotov, charging that the
United States had dominated the
conference, upheld the Soviet
Union’s right to $300,000,000 rep
arations from Finland—a figure
soon afterward ratified, over
United States opposition, voiced
by Senator Arthur H. Vanden
burg. The Michigan Senator
sought to reduce the reparations
figure to $200,000,000, but the con
ference voted this down 11 to 5.
The United States, Canada,
South Africa, New Zealand and
the Netherlands voted against the
reparations article and Australia,
Belgium, Brazil, Greece and Nor
way abstained.
The conference previously had
swiftly approved all political and
military clauses of the Finnish
treaty.

Plan New Town
For Alaska
C.TjFVEt AND, (A*)—Planning to
establish a new town in Alaska, to
be km wn as Port Chilkoot, a
party of 200 was making ready to
start for the north.and in two
weeks.
Organization of the colony is be
ing directed by Maj. Carl H. Hein
miller of Beera, Ohio, founder of
the Veterans Alaska Cooperative
Co., which bought the full equip
ped barracks from the Interior
Department as surplus property
for $105,000. He hopes to have a
thriving community established
by spring.
Maj. Heinmiller, who now is on
terminal leave from the army af
ter six years service, revealed that
all of the first settlers, veterans
and their families, have purchased
a $100 share of common stock in
the cooperative. Eight hundred
applications have been received.
The group proposed to operate a
cooperative retail store and to aid
members to get started in busi
ness. They have already purchased
t tank landing craft and a five
passenger plane to help bring in
supplies.
The leader said that eventually
the group hopes to start similar
i projects in Alaska. He added that
| “it is a pioneering setup. It won’t
j be easy at the start but with two
I or three years we should have a
1 thriving community of a thousand
families.'”
The cooperative will accept
non-veterans as well as veterans.
Each must invest in stock and
I must have at least $2,000 personal
; capital.
The cooperative town will em
phasize in its early stages the de
I velopment of a tourist and resort
trade and serve as a communica
tions point for water and road
traffic. Later the plans call for
timbering, furniture manufacture
and possibly crab and shrimp
fishing.
In the surplus property sale the
barracks were originally bid in by
j Kenneth O’Harra of the O’Harra
Bus Line in Alaska, after winning
on a draw. The department of in
terior, however, ruled the bus op
erator did not qualify under the
veterans* small business provi
sions, being a large operator, and
awarded the buildings to the co
operative.
