Seek Removal Of
#
“Anti-Reservation”
In Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, (/?)—The As
sociation of American Indian Af
fairs asked Saturday that the
Alaska Statehood bill be recalled
to allow removal of its “anti
reservation” provisions.
Otherwise the association said,
the bill “constitutes an effective
guarantee of Alaskan native land
rights and as such is to be whole
heartedly indorsed.”
Oliver La Farge, association
president, voiced the opinion in a
telegram to Senator O’Mahoney
OD.-Wyo.) chairman of the Sen
ate committee of interior and in
sular affairs. The committee re
ported favorably on the bill June
29.
La Farge said the association
objects to the provision that
“pending action by the people of
JUNEAU, (JP) — Harry Brant,
dean of men and administrative
assistant to the president of the
University of Alaska, has been ap
pointed president of Sheldon
Jackson Junior College at Sitka.
The appointment is effective Sept
1.
Brant will succeed Leslie Yaw
whose transfer to Arizona as su
perintendent of the Tucson Indian
Training School was announced
recently.
The appointment was announc
ed by Dr. Herman Morse, general
secretary to the Presbyterian
Church’s Board of National Mis
sions.
Alaska and Congress ... no reser
vation for use and occupancy of
natives . . . shall be designated.”
“This anti-reservation provi
sions in effect nullified the 1936
Alaska reorganization act, which
made possible the sound policy of
settling and confirming Alaskan
native land titles by negotiation,”
La Farge said.

Will Ask For More
Appropriations for
Military Needs
WASHINGTON* (/P)-House
speaker Rayburn (IX-Tex.) said
after a White House conference
of Congressional leaders today
that theer is a “probability” more
• military appropriations will be
disked because of the Korean
fighting.
Rayburn told reporters that
President Truman did not say he
would seek more defense money.
But I think it is a probability,”
Rayburn added.
He said he was confident Con
*
gress fould vote whatever funds
were needed.
At the Pentagon, meantime,
military men said the United
States now has enough men and
equipment in Korea to slow the
communist advance, but that no
one should expect an immediate
turn in the tide of the battle.
The tone of the Pentagon fore
noon “briefing” for newsmen was
generally of caution against over
optimist as a result of the week
end’s heavy air strikes and other
successes against the North Kore
ans.
A spokesman said American
forces had done “a remarkable
job” of building up men and
equipment in Korea.
But he indicated that U. S.
ground troops in Korea might still
have to trade space for time.

Action Mbans

draftees; at least three years for
army volunteers; at least four far
navy; four years for marines; foiftr
years for air force.
Reserves—Mas* be called up un
der the law, along with national
guard, but probably won’t be, at
least immediately. All services
will “welcome” certain specially
qualified volunteer reservists.
WASHINGTON, President
Truman dangled the draft law
over the heads of reservists and
prospective recruits Saturday in
an urgent effort to build up mili
tary manpower for the demands
of the hot war in Korea.
The President gave the Penta
gon power to draft men in a gen
eral order late Friday designed to
lift economy limits imposed on the
army, navy, marines and air force.
That the defense department
hiped to get by, at least initially,
without actually using the draft
authority was evident in the com
ment of an official army spokes
man:
“If strengths are met without
use of selective .service, weTl be
very happy.”
Rev. Robert Treat and family
left for the States Saturday via
Wien Airlines and Kotzebue en
route to the States on their fur
lough’ and plan to return in Sep
tember.
