Indian Fishing
Suit Dismissed
SAN FRANCISCO, (IP) — The
ninth federal circuit court Satur
day affirmed the dismissal of a
suit brought in Juneau by the Tee
Hit-Ton tribe of Tlingit Indians
against the Alaska fishery man
agement and the U. S. department
of interior’s fish and wild life serv
ice.
The Indians contended that an
order prohibiting fishing had de
stroyed their exclusive right to
take fish for commercial purposes
from Salmon bay and Lake bay on
the northeast coast of Prince of
Wales island. The suit said the In
dians had taken from 80,000 to
375,000 pounds of red salmon each
year.
The action was dismissed be
cause the United States govern
ment had not authorized the suit.
The commissioner of Indian af
fairs refused to bring suit in the
name of the tribe.
The court here said that last
year Congress created a commis
sion giving the Indians the right
to litigate over asserted wrongful
government acts, and that a new
action might be brought under'
that jurisdiction.
Legal Curbs For
For Communist
Activities
WASHINGTON (/P)—A member]
of the House committee on un- j
American activities said today the
group may vote 5 to 4 against out
lawing the Communist party, but
is sure to recommend drastic new
legal curbs on Communist maneu
vering in this country.
The member, who withheld use
of his name, said the nine-man
committee may be unanimous in
support of anti-Communist legisla
ton short of making the whole
party an illegal organization.
I Chairman Thomas <R.-N. J.>,
told reporters the results of a
week of hearings “will have to
1 crystallize before the committee
I can adequately decide what it is
1 going to do about outlawing the
j Communist party."
The committee made public last
1 night a rej»rt which it said furn
ished historical proof running back
’ to 1919 that the party in this coun
j try is “the agent" of Russia.
j The report listed 92 documents
which it called “typical directives
! from Moscow affecting the Com
i munist movement in the United
| States.” Thomas said these were
proof that the party is “a fifth col
umn pawn of Moscow.”
j. If various members pool their
ideas, the committee may report
that it can fight Communsm vigor
ously by continuing to expose it
and also by:
Saying in one or more laws,
with appropriate penalties, that it
is illegal to urge or conspire to!
overthrow the government by un
constitutional methods or by force
and violence;
Tightening up on fingerprinting
of aliens, on passpodts and visas,
and on registration;
Strengthening the law against!
treason;
Requiring the Communist party
to publish its membership lists and
sources of income;
Recommending that the FBI be
strengthened and perhaps that it
be made independent of the justice
department.
Hearings on bills to outlaw the
Communist party ended Friday
with a Communist protest that the
committee is interested only in
“Character assassination.”
That was the statement of Peter
V. Cacchione, Communist member
of the New* York City council.
Cacchione had asked to testify, had
been allotted the time and then
cancelled his appearance.
His statement was read by Nor
man Schrank, secretary of the
Brooklyn Communist party.
VERSAILLES, (/P> — Death be
fore a firing squad is the future
which Admiral Jean de Laborde
faces today. The 69-year-old ad
miral wras convicted last night of
responsibility for the November,
1942, scuttling of the French fleet.

Canada Takes Over
War T. And T. Line
WASHINGTON, </?*>—'The 2000
mile Edmonton-Fairbanks tele

mercial land telephone communi
