General Land Office Gives
Details Of Property
Registration Law
The following letter was re
ceived from the General Land Of
fice by Mrs. Bockman, Acting
Register for Nome, Alaska.
Reference is made to your mem
orandum of July 2, 1945, in which
you request information with re
spect to the Real Property Regis
tration Law enacted by the Alas
ka Legislature on March 20, 1945.
Your questions will be answered
in the order in which you have
stated them.
1. What form of registration of
claims is going to be required?
Section 2 of the law provides
in part:
“It shall be the duty of each
owner of land (other than the
Government, the Territory, the
Indians, or the owner of land lo
cated within an incorporated
town> * * * to file in the United
States Land Office for the District
in which the land is situated, on or
before June 30, 1946, a sworn
statement, or a statement signed
by two witnesses when it is im
possible to obtain a sworn state
ment, giving his name, * * * ad
dress, a description of the tract
* * *, its acreage, use, character
and any other information neces
sary for the purposes of this Act.”
Section 5 provides that the
Commissioner of the General Land!
Office will make all prpoer rules!
and regulations to carry out the
provisions of the Act, except as to
those matters which are within
the authority given to the Terri
torial Treasurer. The Department
has recommended to the Congress
that it authorize the Commission- j
er and the registers to perform!
the duties delegated to them by1
the Alaska law. In anticipation of
such authorization, this office is |
preparing regulations which will
cover, among other things, the
standard form to be used in con
nection with statements by prop
erty owners.
2. Do all claims have to be reg
istered or just patented claims?
The requirements of section 2
apply only to the owners of land.
It would appear that as used in
the statute, “owner of land” refers
to a person holding the fee title
to land. This would exclude the
holder of an unpatented claim, or
of an interest less than the fee
from the requirement of filing a
sworn statement.
3. If extra work is required in
preparing the material for regis
tration, will they know in time to
get their data together?
It may be safely anticipated
that adequate time will be given
to all persons affected by the Act
to assemble the necessary infor
mation. The forms which will be
used, moreover, will be so design
ed that no “extra” difficulty will
be encountered in submitting the
material for registration. All reg
isters will be instructed to advise
registrants in the preparation of
forms. For the present you should
advise all those who inquire of
the items of information specified
in the above quoted portion of the
law.
The regulations which will be
prepared by this office will cover
the matters above discussed as
well as all other nceessary pro
cedural steps with respect to reg
istration. You will be advised
when the regulations are issued
and the forms are available.

WILHELM KEITEL
Hollywood could cast no one
who looked more the arrogant
Prussian militarist than Field
Marshal Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, the
Wehrmacht chief. Keitel, tall,
erect and bemoustached, was sec
ond only to Hitler in army com
mand. He became the Fuehrer’s
deputy in 1938, when the German
army was at its fiercest. The tight
lipped career soldier left his fath
er’s mountain farm at 18 to en
list as a private . . . commanded
an artillery company in World
War I . . . taught tactics at a mil
itary school . . . quietly but quick
ly climbed the ranks . . . made
lieutenant-colonel in 1935 . . . de
tested politics and hid from the'
Party limelight ... a shrewd
planner . . . master mind of the
blitzkrieg . . . stood silently at
Hitler’s side during triumphant
entries into captured countries
a conscientious family man and
voracious reader . . . member of
the supreme Secret Cabinet . . .
told his wife, “Some day I shall
have to learn English” . . . quib
bled over details at the surrender
ceremony . . . finally became a
model prisoner.
A cockroach gets an entire new
skin seven times before it matures.
| JOACHIM VON RIBBENTROP
The engineer of Hitler’s inter
national policy, dapper ex-Foreign
Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop,
52, was a diplomat whose chief
tool was the double deal. He ne
gotaited an anti-Comintern pact
against Russia, signed a non-ag
gression treaty with the Soviet,
and then went ahead lining up
satellites behind the anti-Red
agreement. Pre-aggression spade
work was his business, intrigue
his specialty. He convinced Hilter
that England would not fight.
Doenitz fired him last May and,
in one of history’s greatest man
hunts, he eluded Allied sleuths
for more than a month . . . Silver
haired and square-jawed, von
Ribbentrop was one of the best
educated and most-traveled Na
zis . . . was a prosperous wine
merchant before^ he joined the
Party in 1932 . . . had the social
ties to put the Fuehrer over with
big industrialists . . . once an ar
dent admirer of England ... an
excellent swimmer . . . played the
violin for relaxation . . . liked to
speed his limousine through Ber
lin streets, its blue police light
flashing.
There are more ants in the world
than any other single creature.
