ALEUTIAN A-BOMB
The atomic energy scientists’ an
| nouncement that they hope to ex
! plode one of their bombs some
where in the Aleutians after' bury
ing it 300 feet in the ground leaves
us wondering who is going to dig
the 300-foot hole. That may be a
Lieger job than building the bomb.
They might, of course, use the
crater of one of the many volcanoes
out that way. They might even
move the experiment over to the
big crater of Mount Katmal and
radioactivate the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smakes, now nearly dor
mant.
Concern has been expressed from
several quarters about the effect an
atomic explosion in the Aleutians
might have on Bristol Bay red sal
mon and other fish populations of
that area.
And what, we would like to know,
will the atoms do to the sea otters
the government has so carefully
fostered during the past 40 years?
STREET TROUBLES?

INDIAN RESERVATIONS
The Indian Reservation question,
! quiet for several months now, will
no doubt get renewed attention as
a result of a civil suit filed in Ju
1 neau recently.
The Interior Department <s.
j bringing the suit against Libby,
i McNeill and Libby. The government
alleges damages because the com
pany operated a fish trap within
the area of the Hydaburg Indian
Reservation last year. It seeks to
restrain the company from opera
ting the trap this season.
To the layman this appears very
similar to the Karluk case, which
was first brought in the Fourth Di
vision District Court and later went
to the Court of Appeals at San
Francisco. The courts denied the
right of the Secretary of the In
terior to grant exclusive fishing
privileges in Alaskan waters below
mean low tide line.
The present case will no doubt
go to the Court of Appeals and

DONKEY WAR
Alaskans have long been famil
iar with claim-jumpers, fish piraftes
and squabbles over whose dog kill
ed the neighbor's chickens. Now a
new item has been added to this
catalog of troubles—a fight over,
of all things foreign to Alaska, *a
donkey.
The donkey, bearing the perhaps
not inappropriate name of Dammit,
was acquired by a man named I?it
Carson who lives near Ketchikan.
According to Sid Charles' K#t
ch'kan News, Carson recently ap
peared before the U. S. Commis
sioner to complain that a neighbor
Wesley Miller, had fired a shotgun
blast at Dammit.
Carson’s story was that he then,
approached Miller and was threat
ened with the shotgun. Carson
wrested the gun from Miller, and
Mrs. Miller hit Carson over the
head with a rock. Carson’s 12
year-old daughter picked up the
gun and threw it in the bay. Then
Carson threw Miller in the bay
and ended the argument. That was
Carson’s story.
Miller had a somewhat different
tale. In the first place, he said, he
didn’t shoot at the donkey. He
shot into the air to scare the crit
ter out of his garden.
Miller said Carson didn’t take
the gun away from him. They both
fell into the bay while they were
wrestling over the gun. And Mrs.
Miller didn’t hit Carson with a
rock. She threw a rock from the
;hore but missed. Then she waded
out in the water and hit Carson
on the head with her fist "as any
other loving wife would do.” Mean
while, Miller said, Carson’s daugh
ter hit him in the back with a
three or four pound rock.
No doubt the donkey, Dammit,
greatly enjoyed the entire spec
tacle. He seems to have come out
of the fracas without so much as
a scratch. Maybe he wasn’t even
cared.
POWER SURVEYS
For many years the United States
Forest Service, on behalf of the
Federal Power Commission, has
been making surveys of water
power resources in Southeast Al
aska. The two agencies a few years
ago published “Water Powers of
Southeast Alaska,” a sizeable vol
ume giving detailed information on
200 power sites.
A couple of years ago the U. S.
Bureau of Reclamation entered the
field. It has made some surveys
and gone over much of the same
ground covered previously by the
Forest Service.
Now comes the U. S. Corps of
Engineers, which reports that it
"will conduct surveys of water re
sources in Southeast Alaska as a
part of a comprehensive report dn
riyers, harbors, flood control and
power development for the entire
Territory.”

INQUIRY IS
BROKEN OFF

cision. Conversations that led up to
it are his business.”
Short, was asked if Bradley had
consulted with Mr. Truman as to
whether he should answer questions
senators put to him yesterday aboul
the conversations. Bradley declined
at the time to answer them.
Short said he did not know whe
ther the President had talked with
Bradley. He added:
"They appear to be in complete
agreement, don't they?”
Angry Argument
In angry argument at the Senate
MacArthur hearings a Republican
suggested the White House was put
ting an “Iron Curtain" over wit
nesses and got a sharp denial from
Gen. Bradley that there was one
on him.
It was a climactic moment in a
session that broke off questioning
of Bradley.
Finally. Bradley was excused as a
witness until next Monday and the
senators recessed after agreeing to
have a vote at noon tomorrow on
whether they should insist that
Bradley testify about the conversa
tions with Mr. Truman.
Sharp Exchange
Near the end, there was a sharp
exchange between Senators Know
land and Fulbright.
Knowland was the Republican
who made the “Iron Curtain” re
mark. Fulbright said he hoped
Knowland "has not decided to sabo
tage and discredit the hearings sim
ply because the evidence now being
“The thinking fellow
Calls a YELLOW"

MacArthur.
Knowland said he resented the
suggestion very much, and added:
“I am not trying to sabotage this
hearing.”
Fulbright said Knowland was ex
tremely anxious to get the investi
gation underway "and now,he seems
to be threatening to condemn the
whole hearing as a whitewash.”
Drop “Iron Curialh”
Knowland had said Bradley’s
Stand that his talks with Mr. Tru
man were confidential, not to be
testified to, raised a question whe
ther the White House was dropping
an "Iron Curtain” about witnesses.
Bradley, apparently looking oh the
issue as having political implications,
told the senator he was neither a
Democrat nor a Republican and had
never voted. He added:
“Now, the statement has been
made here to the effect that an
Iron Curtain’ has been pulled down
over my testimony. I do not think
it has, Chairman.
“I have only declined to answer
one question on a confidential basis.
"I am perfectly willing, as I say.
to give what I ' think is pertinent
and that is the conclusions reached
at those conferences (with the Presi
dent) and I am perfectly willing to
tell you the reasons advanced by
the three Chiefs of Staff when they
gave their reasons (for M&cArthur"
dismissal) to General Marshall.”
