Bomb Hits Scored on Subs, SeapIane Tender and
 Tanker on Sunday
eBY ASSOCIATED PREssl

The grand total of Japanese ships sunk or crippled in the six day battle in Coral Sea and it's aerial sequel. mounted today to 2l.
 Bomb hits were scored over the weekend on two submarines, a sea- plane tender and tanker in con- tinuance of the victory over the Japanese sea power on the north eastern flank of the Australian sup ply line of that continent and base of the United Nations. The victory has strengthened the belief that all of Australia can be held as concentration. point for an even- tual counter offensive against Japan.
 Although the danger has not yet passed, competent observers in the Allied Headquarters in Australia are stressing conservatism but ex- press belief that the Washington summary of the sea battle, when it is issued, might include addi- tional Japanese transport losses and sinking of two transports or sup ply ships and damaging of two others not listed in two com- muniques.
 Reuters still claims that in the running battle of five days in the Coral Sea the Japanese sea losses are Ia ships sunk, four damaged. This includes certain destruction of two aircraft carriers, one cruis- CT, six or seven destroyers and other vessels.
 The Navy, in the last con- munique, claims only Il or more Japanese warships sunk, and six or more damaged.
 Interpreting the battle on Coral Sea, Sir Keith Murdock, of the Melbourne Daily Herald, who is one of Australia's most eminent public figures, said the engagement was with a comparatively light Japanese naval force and not against the main Japanese fleet. The small fleet undoubtedly. 1t must be realized. composed just a part of the large Japanese expedition that is beginning to be formed

In Europe, the war at the begin ming of the week still lay largely in the psychological realm of nerves, fears. expectations and threats.
 The Russian front is still quies- cent compared to the fury which prevailed in the German offensive last Summer, and the Russian counter r-offensives of the winter months.
 Winter is having it's final fling in the northern and central sectors while the world waits the fury of the break either there or in some other potential battle zone in Flu rope.
 The Russians in advance were given the point of Churchills threat yesterday of using retaliatory gas warfare on behalf of the Soviet Union, which reported officially on Saturday that the Germans were testing new gas technique on the Crimean front, using small mines to dispel disabling vapor
 The German command admitted localized attacks yesterday on the Russian front but declared that Red Army thrusts either collapsed or were repulsed.
 The Germans claimed that the Ar Force score of Russian planes shot down on the far northern front is now 271, listing 20 British hurricanes among the Russian losses.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = Assistant Sec retary of War John McCloy leaned across the dinner table to vivacious Mrs. William Denman, wife of San F'rancisco's distinguished federal judge, and said banteringly:
 You're going to be bombed
 And you think we Californians don't know it?' shot back Mrs Denman. That's why we're here
 What Mrs. Denman meant was that her husband had been pound- ing on Capital doors for three weeks trying to get better protection for the Pacific Coast In fact, what ever protection the West Coast gets added to that of the Army and Navy, will be due in large meas ure to the efforts of Judge Denman plus Chester Powell of the San Francisco Chronicle, and, behind the scenes, another judge-Justice Douglas of the Supreme Court. who comes from Washington State.
 Reason for Judge Denmans worry is that every year from May to July bank of fog covers strip of the Pacific about forty miles wide from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
 This strip of fog." Denman has hammered home to War and Navy officials. lis just what the Japanese need to screen their airplane car riers. They know all about this fogbank, have studied it for years And if they sacrifice the planes as we know they have been willing to do-they could dump tons of incendiary bombs on San Francisco which, by the way, is rated by in- surance companies next to Tokyo as the second greatest fire risk in the World"

 Of Ancestral Fishinq
 Righfs, Natives Here

SEATTLE, May 11--Alsrmed over the first move of Alaska Indians to, establish ancestral fishing rights in Alaska under the 1922 fishing regulations issued by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, Seattle labor leaders are preparing to join Alaska packers in opposing the new regulations.
 Under the new rules. Alaska h. dians may apply to Ickes for hear ing to establish ancestral or in- herited fishing rights with a prior ity over white operators rights.
 The action was decided on when it was learned that a petition for such hearing had been filed with Ickes by William Lewis Paul of Petersburg, attorney for the AL aska Native Brotherhood. This peti- ton asks the removal of the Colpoys Point fish trap. owned and operated by Pacific American Fisheries on behalf of the Tee Hit Ton tribe. Joseph J. Jurich, president of the International Fishermen's and AL lied Workers Union said that while no definite action has been de- cided on yet, special meeting of the unions executive board will be called immediately to select a representative to go to Washington D. C., Tt is obvious that we can do nothing from here Jurich said
 BILL PROPOSED
 William L. Paul, Jr., attorney for the Alaska Native Brotherhood, sub mitted a memorandum to Gov. Er- nest Gruening Saturday in which he proposes an act of Congress which would set up procedure for the settlement, fixing of, and com pensation for land titles of Indians
 Paul pointed out that until Sec- retary Harold L. Ickes set up pro- cedure for the settlement of such claims in the recent fishery regu- lations, no administrative official had provided for any such settle ment before.
 Said Paul "Clarification of land and water titles by present legal means at this late date in the de- velopment of the Territory will tend to create a highly chaotic situa- tion."
 His proposed act reads as fol- lows:
 1. Where conflict is with private occupant: Whites improvements may be set off against Indian own- CTS value of loss of use and title, and if any deficiency exists in favor of the Indian he may be paid by the Federal government.
 9. Tn the public domain: In the )roader areas where Indian title hould be made public domain fisheries, timber, mines), present condemnation will necessarily be accompanied by compensation for loss of title.
 3. Past loss of use: At the same .ime some arrangement should De made to ascertain the loss of use,
