Lease Shipments
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Comptrol
ler general Lindsay Warren testi
fied today he will not approve a
financial deal for shipping $25,
000,000 of supplies to Russia un
less Congress specifically author
izes.
Warren appeared before the
Senate appropriations committee.
Afterward, chairman Bridges <R
N.H.) told reporters it appeared to
him that a majority of the mem
bers are "hostile” to a state de
partment proposal to clear the way
for shipment of supplies originally
contracted for under lend-lease.
Russia has put up cash for them.
Bridges said he asked the state
department for a legal ruling on
the contract responsibility of the
United States toward Russia and
other foreign governments involv
ed, as well as this government’s
responsibility to the contractors
who produced the equipment.

Must File Notice of
Desire To Hold
Claims by July 1
mmmmm—
In order to hold mining loca
tions claimants in Alaska, as well
as in the States, must under the
law now in effect file before 12
o’clock meridian of July 1, 1947, a
notice of their desire to hold their
claims.
This requirement does not ap
! ply, however to those claimants
who already within the current
assesment year, that is since July
1, 1946, have filed the required no
tice.
This interpretation of the exisl
law as it was affected by the re
cent Presidential Proclamation
was secured from the office of So
licitor for the Interior Department
at Washington, D. C., by Delegate
Batlett on request of Territorial
Commissioner of Mines B. D.
Stewart.
The recent press release that
announced the necessity of per
forming assessment work on min
ing claims for the year commenc
ing July 1, 1947, left in doubt the
procedure necessary to protect a
claimant’s rights in the interval
between the termination of hostil
ities in the War as recently de
clared by the President and July
1, 1947. The interpretation by the
Solicitor as above stated removes!
this doubt.
Notices of desire to hold mining
claims should be filed in the of-1
Portal Suits Are 40
Billion Liability
WASHINGTON, OPi^James W.
Haley of the National Coal associa
tion, estimated today that “poten
tial liability” to business firms
from portal-to-portal pay suits “is
more than $40,000,000,000.” He
told a House judiciary sub-com
mittee the possibility “is so stag
gering that not one company in a
hundred would be able to meet it.”
(Suits seeking nearly five bil
lion in retroactive portal pay have
been filed.)
The committee is considering
legislation to restrict payments un
der the portal suits.
Undersecretary of war Kenneth
C. Royall told the committee that
maximum potential liability of the
war department in the portal suits,
in connection with war production,
“conceivably could go as high as
$1,400,000,000.
f'ice of the U. S. Commissioner for
the mining precinct within which
the claims are located.
In his recent letter on the above
subject- that was addressed to the
Commissioner of Mines, Delegate
Bartlett stated his intention of in
troducing in Congress at an early
date a bill providing for the fur
ther suspension of the requirement
for assessment work on mining
claims during the year ending
July 1, 1948. Passage of such a bill
would set aside the requirements
of the law now in effect.
