Nationality Laws


 By bill recently passed and approv d by the President, Pub lie Law No. 853, the nationality laws of the United States have been codified and to some extent revised.
 There is one feature of the Act which is d serving of special at tention and that is the provision which presumes that certain na- tionals of the United States who remain abroad more than six months shall have eXpatriated themselves. These paragraphs of the Act are aimed at those per sns who undertake to assume dual citizenship. That is to say, to be citizens of the United Stat es and, at the same time, to be citizens of some foreign country. and perhaps, serve in the mili- tary forces of such foreign coun- try or accept some other service under it's government. The sub ject in question can best be un- derstood by a quotation of sec ton 40l, subsection Co and (d) and a of section 4o2 of the Act. They are as follows:
 Sec 401. A person who is national of the United States. whether by birth or naturaliza- ton, shall lose his nationality by
 Co Entering, or serving in the armed forces of a foreibn stat unles expressly authorized by the laws of the United States, if he has or acquires the national ity of such foreign state; or
 (d) Accepting, or performing ths duties of any office, post or employment under the govern ment of a foreign state or polite al subdivision thereof for which only nationals of such state are eligible; or
 See. 402 A national of the Unit ed States who was born in the Unitzd States or who was born in any place outside of the juris diction of the United States of parent who was born in the Unit ed States, shall be presumed to have eXpatriated himselb under subsection Co or (d) of section 40l, when he shall remain for six months or longer within any foreign state of which he or eith CT of his parents shall have been d national according to the laws of such foreign state and such presumption shall exist until oV ercom whether or not the in- diVidual has returned to hte Unit ed States. Such presumption may be overcome on the presentation of satisfactory evidence to a dip lomatic or consular officer of the United Stat s, under such rules and regulations as the Depart ment of States and the Depart ment of Justice jointly prescribe. However, no such presumption shall arise with respect to any of1iceror employee of the United States while serving abroad a such officer or employee, nor to any accompanying member of his family"

Excess Profits and Other Taxes

Several inquiries have come to me concerning certain provisions of the recent Act of Congress, approved October 8, 1940, Public Law No. sol, commonly known as the Excess Profits Tax Act but technically referred to as the Second Revenue Act of l940. Those question are of particular interest to Alaska and concern to taxes imposed by the Act with respect to (a) incomes from the mining of strategic metals and (b) abnormalities in incomes in any taxable period.
 With respect to the exemption of incomes derived from the min ing of strategic metals, an eX- emption was made by the Senate. but was modified in Conference. It can b. best explained by quot ing here the two paragraphs of the Conference Report relating to the subject. They are as fol- lows:
 Section 731. Income From Min ing Strategic Metals (Sec. 730 of s nate AmendmenD.
 This section is new in the Sen ate amendment, no comparable provision having been contained in the House bill. It exempts from excess-profits tax income d-rived from mining, reduction or benefication of tungsten, quick silver, manganese, platinum, anti mony, chromite, and tin or the ores and materials containing such metals. These materials have ben declared to b. strategic materials by the War Depart ment. The exemption provided in section 73O is intended to en- courage their domestic produc- ton.
 Under conference agreement, this section is changed to section 73l and it is given a new cap ton. It eXempts from excess profits tax that portion of thc adjusted eXcess-profits net in come of a domestic corporation which is attributable to mining within the United States of tung sten, quicksilver, manganese, platinum, antimony, chromite or tin. The tax on the remaining portion of the adjusted excess profits net income is an amount which bears the same ratio 10 the tax computed on all the adjust ed eXcess-profits net income as such remaining portion bears to the enllre adJuSa d eXceSs-prohts net income
 It will be seen from the forego- ing that the exemption of such income is still substantially re ta.ned in the Act.
 As to the other f atures of the At mentioned, with respect to abncrmalities in income in any '2Nab period, the Act in section 72I, subdivision 60, now provid- es that income derived from min ing in any particular year which msy be consider abnormal may be spread out over the per jed of development. This is part icul2rly helpful to taxpayers who may spend several year and considerable amounts of

Anthony J. Dimond, Del gate frcm Alaska

Before going into state of "saspended animation,' Congress passed a measure of material benefit to the natives of Alaska. That is the bill, s. 4338, to ex- empt Indians from ths two-year limitation on enrolment for work in the Civilian Conservation Corps.
 The bill passed was a Senate bill introduced by Senator Thorn as of Oklahoma although Honor able Mary T. Norton, Chairman of the House Committee on La Dor. and I had introduced sim liar bills in the Hous2. But the Senate acted first and so, at my request a meeting was called of the House Committee on Labor and the Committee took up the Senate bill rather than either of the House bills. The bill passed the Senate on September 30, the House on October IA, and it was approved by the President on Oc tobsr 21, Public Law No. 875.
 In the CCC Act there is a limit ation of two years for the em- ployment of any enrollee, and after the expiration of two years the enrollee must be discharg d. He is not again eligible for en- rollment. The only exception made in the law is in favor of war veterans. Under the bill pass d, Indians are now also except ed from the two-year limitation.
 The seriousness of the situat- ton in Alaska with respect to the Alaska natives was expressed in letter of MT. B. Frank Heint zleman, Regional Forester for Alaska, by Mir Wellamn Hol- brook, Acting Forester, dated February T anl addressed to the Chief of the Forest Service, Washington, D. C. This letter was incorporated in the House Report and it is as follows.
 Chief. Forest Service
 Washington, D. C.
 Dear Sir:
 T h 9 Civilian Conservation Corps is facing the possibility of greatly reduced enrolment, if not suspension of work projects m the Indian villag s of Alaska as a resu of the 2-year limita- ton on enrollments.
 Fishing and seasonal ocupa- tions usually engage the Indians during the summer and we em- ploy them on Civilian Conscr- vation Corps projects adjacent to their villag-s for the rest of the year. Ordinarily these work units cover a large percentage of the qualified men in the commun ity so that We reemploy many of the same p rsons year after in filling our quotas.
 Our Alaska coast Indians large ly have their own homes and live n isolated Indian communit- ies. They have title opportunity for advancement, and we will have them as potential enroll es as l2ng as the Civilian ConscrVa ton Corps exists. If the 2-year limitation is to be applied here, the majority of these men will be retir d from the Civilian COnser vation Corps and there will be few others to replace them. We strongly urge, therefore, that ar effort be made to waive the 2 V ar limitation insofar as Alaek9 Indians are concerned. A d 'ffev- ent situation exists will respect to the whites and nO waiver is

Since the goth Engineers have
organized during the last world
war, this unit of the United
States army has to its credit a
very colorful and interesting
exitence. It was members OF
the goth who mapped the route
for the proposed canal across
Nicaragua. They also mapped
for the U. S. Army the metro
politan area of New York City,
the Olympic Peninsula of WASH
ington and a number of other
important sections of the Uni

nounced that enlistments are

courages corrective measures.
The excellent work done by Mrs.
Mielke deserves praise and sup
port.
Most school and health auth
critics consider prevention of
disease to be as important as
cure of disease. The fact that
the schools of this district hold
clinics for the purpose of CIV
ing vaccinations, innoculations,
and Tuberculin tests proves that
the authorities here are not ex-
ceptions.
Thus it may be seen that in
our school we strive to keep our
students healthy. Not only is
health information impaired to
the student, but every effort is
made to form in him desirable
health habits, and a health
conscious mind.

Of the St. Xavier school this fall.
-Four diamonds were in use on
the school grounds. There were
three girls teams. One team
consisted of girls from the fifth
and sixth grades, and two Others
of girls from the seventh,
eighth, ninth and tenth grades.
The boys teams were made up
as follows: two teams from
the third and fourth grades, one
from the fifth grade, and two
others from the sixth, seventh,
eighth, ninth, and tenth grades.
All teams practiced before
school and during the noon
hour. The third and fourth
grade teams also played during
their regular recess periods, and
the students above the fourth
grade played during their reg
ular As minute physical educa-
ton period.
One series was played by the
two teams from the third and
fourth grades, and each Friday
afternoon during the last hour
the entire school was allowed
to attend or participate in a
game by the upper grade stu
dents. Several exciting games
were played. On two Fridays the
girls played the boys, but the
boys were required to bat left
handed, and the girls came
away with flying colors.
The highlights of the season
were two games played with
Crow Agency. The first game
was played at Crow Agency,
Friday, September 10, with Crow
Agency winning by one point.
The score was II to IL. The sec
ond game was played at St.

The Eagles Cry


The growing complexities OF
modern life, together with the
Increased responsibilities which
have been placed upon the ed
ucatlonal institutions of our
land, have caused the schools
OF America to abandon the mar
row literary and scholastic ira
ditions of earlier years. Our
schools now influence directly
nearly every phase of a child's
physical, mental, and moral de-
velopment. AS a result, there
has been much discussion am
ong leading school men as to
what should constitute the fun
damental aims and detectives
of education.
One objective which is always
recognized is the furtherance OF
the health of the individual.
Health Is, in most cases, an es-
Sential to happiness and ach-
1evement. The children of this
school district are fortunate in
that their health IS an item of
first consideration by the au-
thorities of the district. From
the standpoints of both per-
some! and equipment, provision
Is made for safeguarding and
promoting the health of the
student.
At st. Xavier we have, as part
of OUR building, a modern
gymnasium which is utilized to
the fullest extent i'm the phys
1cal education program. There
are modern lavatories and sho-
wer rooms and cleanliness is
constantly stressed. Through
out the classrooms there is mod
ern lighting, heating, and VEN
tilation. There is a special room
containing medical supplies and
a sanitary cot with sheets and
blanket. The best textbooks
available are used in the cour-
ses in health and hygiene.
There are three student "nur-
ses" who take care of the minor
first aid needs of the students.
These girls have a half-hour
period each morning in the
nurses room. Their work not
only applies TO minor injuries,
but also to skin Affections such
as impetigo. The girls are Bet
ty Zier, Rachel Schaneman, and
Mary Lou Stovall. All three are
in the eighth grade, and are
volunteers who wanted the
training and who enjoy the
work.
The supervision of the health
program of this school is in the
hands of the district nurse, Mrs.
Mielke. Mrs. Mielke visits the
school at least once each week.
She makes regular inspections,
instructs student helpers, ad-
vises teachers, visits parents,
keeps health records, and en-

ment were held Saturday eve.
ming, November 16, before 9
large, enthusiastic crowd OF
fight fans. The judges were
Rueben Muhlbeier and Adolph

referee and Troy Mccarthy as
timer.
The matches started at eigh,
O'Clock with Buddy Lawrence
meeting Eugene Mclaughlin in
the under 60 pounds class. This
match ended in a draw. In the
next class, IS to rs pounds
George Fox VS.. AL Smells, the
decision went to AL Smells. In
the rs to IS pound class, Willie
George outpointed Donald Mol
de. In the IS to IS pound class
David Kern, in a fast match
won a decision over Kenneth
Snively. In the 95 to 10 pound
class Johnny Melendrez won ov-
er Cecil Mclaughlin. In the 11C
to 125 pound class Bobby Halt
won over Rudolph Strobbe in a
holly contested match and in
the 125 to 1875 pound class
Stanley Muhlbeier defeated Ad-
olph Strobbe. In the exhibition
bout between the two Muhlbei-
er boys the boxing was fast and
clever.
A great deal of improvement
has been shown by the boys
since the beginning of the tour
nament.

AS an aftermath of rehears-
ais for the play jumping Jew
els" Gloria Hopperstad, grade
ten, was inspired to pen the
following lines of poetry:
"Quiet back STAGE" the direc-
tors voice booms,
But when her back is turned the
pickering resumes.
The scuffling is continued, and
my goodness! oh!
Her impatience is more than
UtS1llllIlS 10 SNOW.
The John Barrymores" who
don't know their lines
Are more than discouraged a
lot of the times.
And those who repeat scenes
time and again
Get bored, impatient, and out
of-sorts then.
But the grief and discourage
ment is made up by fun
That brings smiles and laughter
to everyone.
A small mistake here, an acct
dent there,
That is not, of course, beyond
sure repair.
These things make up the re-
hearsals, and, well,
Confidentially, the kids in the
play think they're swell.
