Patrols Clash
In Neutral
Zone;Red Slain
'Partisans on Either
Side' May Wreck
Truce, Says Tokyo
MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 20—OP—
Allied and Communist subcom
mittees met briefly in Kaesong
today as a new crisis threatened
efforts to stop the Korean war.
General headquarters in Tokyo
said “partisan forces of either
side” may be trying to wreck ar
mistice negotiations.
The statement was in reply to
Red charges that U. N. forces
ambushed a Red patrol inside
Kaesong's five-mile neutral zone
Sunday. A Chinese patrol leader
was killed and a Chinese soldier
seriously injured.
The subcommittees met for
only 70 minutes Monday. It was
their shortest session since they
took over for the main truce
delegations Friday.
There was no report of progress
from the secret talks. But the
negotiators agreed to meet again
tomorrow.
The subcommittees are trying to
hammer out a compromise agree
ment on the question of a cease
fire buffer zone. The main dele
gations argued this point for 10
days and found themselves com
pletely deadlocked.
The Communists want the buf
fer zone to straddle the 38th par
allel, old political dividing line be
tween North and South Korea.
The United Nations command
wants it generally along present
battle lines, most of which are
north of 38:
Both sides have Indicated a
willingness to compromise.
United Nations staff officers at
Kaesong today refused to let Al
lied newsmen sit on the verandah
of the conference building, or stand
near tne two entranceways.

Illegal Alien Infiltration
More Dangerous than Armed
Invasion, Says McCarran
---—i
Forest Fires Cause
Evacuation of 25
Northwest Homes
By the Associated Press
Residents of more than 25 homes
were forced to flee today as fires
raged unchecked over widley separ
ated northwest timbered areas, so
dangerously dry that all logging
is halfki in western Oregon and
Washington.
The most serious of the half dozen
major fires caused the evacuation
of an estimated 20 homes in subur
ban Bonny Slope west of Portland,
and firemen said dozens of other
homes were in the path of the
flames, which spread along a four
mile front last night.
A report from the Cedar Hill Fire
Department said one home and a
barn were destroyed.
Rising Wind
i H. T. Williams, assistant lire
chief at Beaverton. Ore., reported
that the situation was extremely ser
ious, with a rising wind expected
to bring a critical test this after
noon to the estimated 600 firemen
fighting the blaze.
Scores of trucks were pressed
into service to help with the evac
uation and to supply water to the
fire equipment on hand from three
counties.
A 5,500-gallon tank truck and
Portland city street department
trucks had been able to keep all
pumpers in water during the night,
Williams said.
The northwest’s biggest blaze on
Vincent Creek near Scottsburg,
in Oregon’s northern Douglas
county, meantime, had covered an
estimated 10,000 acres and was
still spreading today.
Six homes along Highway 38 were
■vacuated as the fire closed in. Ray
Oglesby, Western Lane County fire
patrol warden, called for 50 sets
if experienced fallers to remove
flaming snags from the dangerous
lortheast corner of the fire.
Worst In 13 Years
The blaze is the worst in that
region since the Smith River fire
n the same area 13 years ago.

$56 Millions in
Property Destroyed;
Intensity May Increase
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 20—MB—
A shrunken hurricane ripped across
the Yucatan peninsula today and
into the southern Gulf of Mexico
130 miles northwest of Merida.
It continued on a west north
westerly course with maximum
winds of 75 miles per hour, mini
mum hurricane force.
However, forecaster W. R. Stevens
said the hurricane "will increase
in size and intensity over the south
west Gulf of Mexico this afternoon
and tonight.”
The storm, which during its
peak power killed at least 109 per
sons and destroyed property val
ued at $56,000,000 on the British
island of Jamaica last Friday and
Saturday, was pointed In the gen
eral direction of the mouth of
the Rio Grande River separating
Mexico and Texas.
It moved into the Gulf from the
Yucatan peninsula some 650 miles
almost due south of New Orleans
after giving Yucatan residents a
night of panic. Reports from the
area were meager because of scanty
communications.
Contact Lost
Radio contact with Cozumel Is
land, 200 miles east of Merida, the
capital of Yucatan State, was lost
at 4 p.m. (EST) yesterday. Officials
in Mexico City said they supposed
the radio tower was carried away.

Authorities at Kingston were still
trying to round up 70 prisoners who
escaped when the storm toppled a
wall of the island’s penitentiary.
The island's poor house and men
tal hospital also were hard hit.
The government reported several
persons were killed there when the
roofs of those buildings collapsed.
Ninety percent of the rich ban

suffered less damage.
Demos Hit Back at
Korea 'Delusion'
Charge by GOP
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20— M —
Democrats today . defended Presi
dent Truman’s Far Eastern policies
and assailed a Republican assertion
that any final peace which leaves
Korea divided would be a ‘’delu
sion.’’
Eight Republicans, in a week-end
report on the inquiry into the ouster
of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, called
for "liberation and unification" of
Korea.
They blamed what they labeled
“qppeasement” policies of Mr.
Truman and Secretary of State
Acheson for the loss of China to
the Communists. They said the
Yalta agreement spawned most of
America's difficulties with Com
munism in Asia.
Answering unofficially, Senator
Hunt (D-Wyo) said that if the eight
Republicans—headed by Senator
Bridges of New Hampshire—want
to risk World War III by "exces
sive” demands in Korea, they ought
to say so flatly.
Senator Cain (R-Wash), one of
the authors of the GOP report,
told a reporter he and others
aren’t contending that cease-fire
agreement must provide Tor com
plete withdrawal of the Reds from
Korea.
"But there will be no permanent
peace short of the unification of
Korea,” he declared, "we will b<
kidding ourselves if we believe there
>vill be.”

Alaska Natives Lay Eight
Claims for Payments
Before Indian Commission
WASHINCfTON, Aug. 20 — Wl —
At least eight petitions are pending
before the Indian Claims Commis
sion on behalf of Alaska's Indians
and Eskimos.
The list was compiled In a check
of attorneys described by commis
sion spokesmen as representing a
“big percentage” of the Alaska
claimants. The Commission itself
has no geographical breakdown of
claims filed.
While most eases seek compen
sation for lands and waters alleg
edly seized by the white men, at
least two — filed on behalf of the
Aleut community and tribe on St.
Paul Island in the Pribilofs — ask
additional gay for sealskins which
the islanders have sold to the
United States under a monopoly
agreement.
The claim dates back to this
country’s acquisition of the islands
from Russia in 1867. It is being
handled by Marvin Sonosky of
Washington, D.C.
No Specific Amount
None of the actions ask a specific
amount of compensation. In most
of the cases, several attorneys said,
investigations still are underway
and the amount to be sought is not
yet completeely determined.
The deadline for filing claims
passed at midnight Aug. 13. The
Senate has not acted upon a
House-approved bill to extend the
filing period another year. If it
does, attorneys predict a new
burst of claims.
"The Alaska Indians have been
too busy fishing,” one attorney ex
plained. “but when the word reaches
them about the recent $27,000,000
award to the Ute Indians, they’ll
take a renewed interest.”
15 Tribes
The Interior Department said last
month It knew of 15 Alaska tribes
interested in filing dnl'”' but who
■had not retained an attorney. Some
of these undoubtedly were in thf
last minute flood of claims receivei
by the commission.
James E. Curry, of Washington,
D.C., attorney who has five (Alaska
claims pending before the com
mission, said the principal dif
ference between claims of Alaska
and U.S. Indians is the absence of
any original payment to the
former.
"In most cases in the United
States the lands were bought fot
sums which the Indians now con
tend were inadequate. But ir
Alaska," he contended, “not one
dime was paid to the Indians for
any land.”
He said the Alaska claims involve
no treaties "except possibly that
with Russia in which the United
State/ agreed to look out for the
Indians’ well-being.”
Villages Named
Curry’s major claims involves
some 18,000 members of the Tlingit
and Haida tribes now living In the
southeastern Alaska villages of An
goon, Craig, Douglas, Hoonah, Yak
utat, Sitka, Kake, Klawock, Wran
gell, Hydaburg, Juneau, Kasaan,
Klukwan, Haines and Saxman.
Others involve the Nisgah tribe
in the Portland canal area at Hyder
and the Eskimo villages of Shunk
nak, Gambell and Unalakleet.
The Tee-Hit-Ton Indians, lo
cated In the inland passage area
of southeastern Alaska and rep
resented by James Craig Peacock,
also of Washington, seek com
pensation for 350,000 acres of land
and 150 square miles of water.
The last claim received by the
commission was filed by William
Olsen. Anchorage on behalf of the
natives of Palmer, Alaska. They
seek compensation for the lost use
of the rich falin lands of the Mat
’tnitslta valley
Territorial Civil
Defense May Be
Crippled: Landreth
Should Congress sustain the
House Appropriations Committee
on the stripping of Civil Defense
Administration funds last Friday,
certain phases of civil defense in
Alaska will be seriously crippled,
Earl Landreth, territorial direc
tor, said today.
Without federal matching funds,
much of the fire fighting equip
ment essential to proper civil de
fense cannot be obtained at this
time, he said. Many Alaska cities
have inadequate equipment be
cause of recent population increas
es brought about by expanded
federal activities.
"It would seem that the fed
eral government should share
its part of the burden,” Land
reth said.
The existing medical supplies
in Ala-ka would be used up in a
day or two should a major dis
aster occur, he said. Some time
would elapse before more could be
obtained.
“Federal matching funds for
fire fighting equipment and med
ical supplies are on a 50-50 ba
sis,” he said. "Under the present
law we cannot obtain the equip
ment or supplies without fed
eral aid.”
There are two things to be no
ed, Landreth said. The action of
Dhe committee is not final and
he need for an adequate civil de
fense program was not questioned.
Congress and the defense admin
stration did not agree on the
form such a program should take.
