KEEPS UP
HIS FIGHT

views that have provoked a storm
in Washington, Paris, London and
other western capitals.
British Viewpoint
In London, a foreign office spokes
man said Britain has expressed
privately to the United States its
concern over the MacArthur row'.
“Our view'point has been made
known through our ambassador, Sir
Oliver Franks, through normal con
versations,” the spokesman said.
He insisted it was not a formal
protest — usually a stern measure.
No Drastic Action
In Washington the White House
maintained silence on any possible
presidential rebuke that might be
planned for the general. One highly
placed congressional source said no
drastic action against MacArthur
was in immediate prospect.
While administration supporters
generally increased their criticism
of MacArthur for urging use of
Chaing Kai-Shek’s troops, Rep. Joe
Martin of Massachusetts, the House
Republican leader, supported a
move to bring MacArthur home to
report personally to Congress on
the Pacific situation.
In Tokyo, Rep. O. K. Armstrong
iR-Mol told the American Cham
ber of Commerce he did not think
MacArthur exceeded military auth
ority in his recent policy statements
He added that any action to recall
the general “at this time would be
the greatest victory for Communion
since the fall of China.”
12,000 HOMELESS
AS RESULT, FLOODS
By Associated Press
Flood waters spilled out over
thousands of acres of land in a
three-state midwest area today,
making more than 12.000 persons
homeless.
Property damage mounted to an j
estimated $3,000,000.
Fed by spring rains and thaws,
the swollen rivers and streams over
flowed into several communities in
Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota.
The surging waters covered rich
farm land, highways and railroads.
The Red Cross and National
Guardsmen were on the scene in
many of the flood-stricken areas.
The Minnesota River in western
and southern Minnesota was caus
ing the major damage. Some 5,000
persons have been forced from their
homes in Mankato, Minn., other
residents along the lowlands areas
of the turbulent stream were ready
to evacuate.

ASSISTANCE FOR
MINING COMES UP
NOW THROUGH DMA

administrator, explained to the
House Subcommittee on Mining last
week that organization work and
1 consultations with other agencies
on policy decisions used up most of
the seven months since the Defense
Production Act was adopted by Con
gress.
Committee members, critical of
"seeming delays,” were fiSSWreo
however, that things will move muc
faster in the immediate future.
Financial assistance for explora
tion, the only program administered
directly by DMA, is expected to ge
under way shortly. Within a $10
000,000 limitation, the governmen
will make individual contracts t(
pay 50 to 90 per cent of the cost
of prospecting for new domestic
sources of metals and minerals on
the strategic list.
Types of Assistance
Direct government loans for plan'
expansion, working capital and pro
duction probably will be the last of
the various authorized types of as
sistance to be put into operation.
The reasons are twofold:
1. The Defense Production Ac
stresses that expansion of produc
tion must be carried out as much
as possible by private interests.
2. Loan transactions require
more careful scrutiny for protection j
of government funds than other as-1
sistance programs.
However, me nouse euinnmi.cc
was told that it may become neces-1
sary and desirable for the govern
ment to make loans that private
banks are not willing to consider.
In all matters except exploration
contracts, the DMA will review ap
plications and certify their neces
sity to other agencies for final de
cision.
Applications for exploration as
sistance may be submitted on forms
to be provided to the Defense Min
erals Administration in Washington
or to the nearest DMA field exe
cutive officer. Addresses of the field
offices and the areas served include:
Alaska — Federal building, P. O.
Box 2990, Juneau, Alaska.

Montana — South 157 Howard St„

INDIANS LOSE OUT
IN INTEREST CASE
before High court
WASHINGTON, April 10 — on—
The Supreme Court has rejected the
claim of various bands of Oregon
Indians to $14,255,616 interest on a
$3,128,900 award made to them for
tribal lands taken by the United
States.
The award was made by the U. S.
Court of Claims here; which said
the Indians were entitled to interest
on the amount from the year 1855.
| The Justice Department contested
the interest payment, in an appeal
to the Supreme Court. The depart
ment said other Indian cases ex
pected to be filed in the claims court
conceivably could raise total claims
of more than $14,000,000,000. The

major part of which would be for
interest.
The Supreme Court rejected the
interest claim in a brief, unsigned
opinion. Justice Jackson took no
part in the case, making the court’s
vote 8-0.
The unsigned opinion said it is the
traditional rule that interest on
claims against the United States
cannot be recovered "in the ab
sence of an express provision to the
contrary in the relevant statute or
contract.”
In other decisions:
1. The court agreed to step into
the government’s thus far unsuc
cessful efforts to outlaw medical and
hospital insurance plans operated
exclusively by doctors’ societies.
The Justice Department asked the
high tribunal to review a lower
court’s finding that such plans do
not violate anti-trust laws.
The test case was brought in Ore
gon in 1948 against the Oregon
Physicians’ Service, its sponsor, Ore
gon State Medical Society affiliated
county societies and a number of
doctor members.
The court unanimously struck
down the conviction of two Florida
Negroes sentenced to die for the
rape of a white girl.
Two justices protested that the
case stirred deep racial feelings in
the area and that this was "ex
ploited to the limit by the press.”
Justice Jackson wrote that the
court majority had reversed the con
victions because Negroes were dis
criminated against in the selection
of a trial jury. '
The court’s action means that
Samuel Shepard and Walter Irvin
will have to be tried again — in a
different court — for the rape on
July 16, 1949, of Ijprma Padgette,
then 17.
The girl was attacked near Grove
land, Fla.

RECOVERING RAPIDLY
Mrs. Marlyn Herrihg appears to
be rapidly recovering from an at
tack of polio, her father, Eldred
Mallory, said today. He and Mrs.
Mallory were happy over her im
proved condition, although three
special nurses are still on duty
and her physician is watching her
closely. Use of her legs, arms and
fingers has returned, he reported,
and it is hoped that she may be able
to get along without the iron lung
now.
The iron lung which was donated
and dedicated by the Juneau Elks1
Club to the community last Satur
day was rushed to Mrs. Herring's
aid when it was suspected Saturday
night that she had been stricken
with polio.

ROTARY ELECTS
NEW DIR. BOARD
Juneau Rotary Club had a busy
luncheon hour at the Baranof
Hotel Tuesday noon with election
of a new board of directors, a talk
by Ralph Mize, committee reports,
and a plea by Dr. C. Earl Albrecht
to aid in keeping the city library
open for the summer.
Board members elected were Bill
Ellis, O. F. Benecke, Hurff Saun
ders Eric Newbould, Floyd Guertin
and Neil Fritchman.
After his suggestion that Rotary
take some definite action toward
finding quarters for the city li
brary when it has to be moved
from the City Hall, soon to be de
molished, Dr. Albrecht was named
chairman of a committee to do
that.
Milt Daniel, chairman of the
Soap Box Derby committee, repor
ted a good turnout at the meet
ing held last night and said it ap
pears there’ll be a larger partici
pation than last year.
Ralph Mize, in charge of con
struction here for the Alaska Na
tive Service, gave an interesting
talk on some of the construction
problems in Alaska. He pointed out
the difficulties encountered in set
ting foundations in permafrost,
handling utility lines, getting water
supply, the labor market, the short
building season and in many places
troubles in getting in construction
materials'.
When the military department
started its large scale building pro- \
gram in the north, Mize said, there
were few studies on the problems
to be encountered and much in
formation was obtained from the
Russians who were far ahead of i
the Alaskans and Canadians in j
this matter due to their construc
tion in Siberia.
Guests were: Dr. Robert Smith, |

attle: Ivar Skarland. Fairbanks;
Jim Hart, Auk Bay; Lee Bettinger,
