Myer Tells Chamber
Native Land Claims
Should Be Seitled
Dillon S. Myer, commisisoner of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, from
Washington, D.C., touched on two
points of vital interest to Alaskans
when he spoke at the Juneau Cham
ber of Commerce luncheon at the
Baranof Hotel this noon.
First was the settlement of aborig
inal land claims and second was
the gradual liquidation of the In
dian Service.
Myer stated that it hoped that
a program could be worked out
within "a reasonable period of
years” to transfer the services nov.
provided by the Indian Service t
other existing agencies and the
absorption of native populations into
the communities.
11c said that the settlement of
lands had been held back due to
aboriginal claims and that a bill
now before Congress would pro
vide a special panel for filing of i
claims within a two-year period. !
make appraisals, and validate |
claims. A hearing is to be held j
on the bill soon, he said.
Asks More Housing
Peter Woods, local real estate
agent, reported that he wa* "rap
idly becoming the ‘Eva McGown
of Juneau” due to the acute hous
ing shortage here. <Eva McGown \
is the official hostess of Fair!;, nk j
who finds rooms, housing and baby
sitters for visitors there.) W- "d |
suggested that the Chamber should I
push for another housing project
for Juneau and said that the Hus- |
sian Church property across from
the new school building on Glacier ,
Highway was available.
Charles W. Carter, who has
been appointed to head a com
munity committee to raise Ju
neau’s share of the funds for the
Alaska Visitors Association, said
that other Alaska eities were far
ahead of the capital city in the
fund drives. He pointed out that
the Association was a united ef
fort to promote tourist business
for all of Alaska. The last Alaska
legislation appropriated S40,000 ior
the Association which was to be
matched by private subscription to
promote tourists to come to Alaska.
Jerry McKinley, chairman of th
read committee, askfd that the
August 16 meeting be given over
to discussion of road problems and
the sending of members to Pnnce;
Rupert for a meeting with Cana
dian officials. President Herbert S (
Rowland referred it to the executive
board.

XJ.S. Forest Service from Portland
Ore.; Elmer Schlotz of the Associ

Politics Won’t
Balk Eisenhower,
Thinks Truman
He'll Put Duly First, Says
President; Slams New
Control Law
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 — m —
Pro Ident. Truman said today lie
does not believe Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower's duties in Europe will
interfere with anything in 1952 il
the General i interested in politics
But, the President told a news
conference, he thinks in any event
General Eisenhower will put duty
to his country first.
Two Senators recently returned
from Europe — one a Democrat, and
one a Republican — have suggested
that Eisenhower’s duties as Supreme
Commander of Western European
Defense forces would keep him out
of the field of possible pre identic!
candidates next. year.
Senator Murray (I)-Mont), who
says Mr. Truman should run again,
panic back from Europe to give
that opinion in an interview. A
similar view was expressed by
Senator Brewstfr IR-Mt) who is
generally regarded as barking
Senator Taft of Ohio for (he Re
publican presideniial nomination.
Eisenhower has been mentioned
as a possible nominee by the Repub
licans and also by the Democrats.
He has never disclosed his political
affiliation, if any.
On other questions Mr. Truman
said:
1. He is trying to find eut the
facts on charges that Democratic
National Chairman William M.
Boyle, Jr., received fees from a
St. Louis printing firm which gat
a big RFC loan.
He did not say what steps he has
taken or through whom he is acting.
Charges on Loan
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has
published stories saying the Ameri
can Lithofold Corp. received a
$565,000 RFC loan in 1949 after re
taining Boyle and that Eoyle was
paid $8,000 in fees. Previously the
printing firm had been turned down
several times In its efforts to get
the loan, the paper said.
Boyle has said he once represented
the company in legal matters, but
had nothing to do with the RFC
loan. He also said he gave up his
law practice when he took over his
present Democratic committee job.
2. He will fly to San Francisco
, Sept. 1 to open the Japanese peace
treaty conference.
3. He is very sorry that Senator
| Connally iD-Tex) took the position
he did earlier this week sharply crit
icizing overseas foreign aid pro
grams.
“Speaks for Itself” .
4. Asked whether he felt the
new controls law would require
the relaxation of wage controls.
Mr. Truman said his statement on
signing the bill speaks for itself.
In that statement, he hinted at
wage concessions, saying the work
ing people could not be expected
to foot the bill for profits he
foresaw from the new legislation.
In other political notes at th<
news conference:
1. A reporter raid former Repub
lican President Herbert Hoover had
uggested that his party "expo '
oppose, and propose” in its campaign
against the Democrats.
With a grin, llv President ob
erved that he liked that last word,
but added the Republicans haven’t
done that yet.
2. Mention was that Dr. Daniel
Poling, noted clergyman, has been
nominated by the Republicans for
mayor of Philadelphia. Mr. Truman
was asked hit- reaction. The Presi
dent replied that he is very fond
of that good Bapti t, Dr. Poling.
But thc-n he added he always ha
to be for the Democrats.

Congress Asked for
Money fo Replace
Anchorage Prison
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, — (<W—
President Truman asked Congress
today for a supplemental appro
priation of $950,000 for the replace
ment of the federal prison at Anch
orage, Alaska.
In this connection, Mr. Truman
said:
"This estimate was not includ
ed in the 1952 budget because every
effort was made to curtail new
construction in view of the string
ency of the budget situation. In
view however, of the increase in!
federal activities in the Territory,
i; is not believed that this con
struction should be longer defer
red.
