PARIS, (/P) — The French for
eign ministry announced •today

Anglo-French invitation to coop
erate in continental economic re
construction under the Marshall
proposal and that similar notes
were expected soon from* eight
other countries.
The six acceptances were from
Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Eire,
Greece and Turkey.
Acceptances “in principle” have
been received unofficially from
Holland, Luxembourg, Austria,
Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Swe

French quarters said that thus

given a provisional negative re

the Slav bloc’s attitude, reserved
her decision on the Marshall pro

Indian Claims So
Far Amount To
Fifty Millions
<(JP) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (£>) — The In
i dian claims commission said today
: it has received eight claims total
i ing about $50,000,000 — and all
eight probably will have to be re
filed.
Chief commissioner Edgar E.
I Witt, former Texas lieutenant gov
! ernor, said rules governing the
presentation of claims have been
| completed and will be mailed to
i Indian tribes and reservations as
soon as they are printed, probably
by mid-July.
The filing of formal claims
should be withheld until the rules
are received, Witt said. The claims
already received will have to be
refiled if they do not conform to
regulations finally approved.
Witt said that any prospective
claimant who feels that the testi
mony of an aged or invalid Indian
should be taken immediately may
send to the commission a detailed
statement of the claim and a sum
mary of the proposed testimony.
Indian tribes have until Aug. 13,
1951, to enter claims, and the com
mission has until April 10, 1957,
to settle claims and complete its
assignment.
The interior department esti- i
mates that 95 per cent of the land
once owned by Indians—that is,
the entire United States and Alas
ka—has been paid for. The re
maining five per cent is expected
to result in claims totaling many i
millions of dollars, however.
The claims may involve land, |
mineral rights, fishing and buf
falo-hunting rights, accounting of
coal and aspahlt deposits, town
lot fraud charges, allotments of
river banks, forest and mill rights
and a host of similar questions.
The commission already has ad
vised Indians throughout the
United States that claims will be
considered only on the behalf of
tribes, bands or other identifiable
groups.

PEARL HARBOR, (/P) — The
