need for any ofe oral testimony or argument
 When, and if the examiner makes up his mind, he will report the authorities by whom he ap- pointed and the responsibility for final decision will rest alongside the responsibility for beginning the whole preposterous proceeding The finishing touch, like the first will from Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
 No one knows for how many years the natives had full possession of Alaska Except in fishing and hunting for bare subsistence they made nothing of the unhndered opportunity. When the Russians took over the whole in 1799, there protest from the natives.
 No qustion of who owned Alaska any part of it was raised when the United States government by the treaty of March 30 1867, bought Alaska from Russia for $7200000 in golden cash All went well as could reasonably be expected while Alaska was administered from Washington district" and after Congress, in 1912, made Alaska Territory.
 From the beginning of Russian occupation, and through all the years district and Territory of the United States Alaska entirely free from hint of dispute between natives and whites over rights of any kind until MT Ickes set his agents at work to stir up strife.
 In 1884 MT Ickes induced Congress to give him authority under certain conditions, to create in crease the size of Indian reservations Two years later he procured an amendment extending that authority to Alaska Neither in the act nor in the amendment was there any reference to fisheries other resources
 The Alaska Indians claimed exclusive rights and were granted none by Congress MT Ickes him. self undertook to establish and recognize such rights in creating Indian reservations. Now, through his departments attorneys agents and examiners, he seems determined to procure some sort of legal af- firmaton of what he has done and whatever else he may wish to do
 As viewed by the Department of the Interior, the bona fide white residents of Alaska the home owners workers, business and others-haye no rights worthy of official respect. Those who have invested millions of dollars in the development Of Alaska's resources, and the many thousand members of organized labor constantly seasonally employed in Alaskas industries entitled to no consideration whatsoever.
 All those truly concerned for Aaska's welfare and future are firmly united in opposition to project the consequences of which would be appalling They entitled to the rights they have honestly earned entitled to the protection of Congress and the support of the administration, no matter at what cost of personal disappointment to MT.

BURNING WAR BONDS

Treasury Department war bond salesmen are pleased with the show of patriotism made by those who burn their war bonds, but they fear it will snarl Government book keeping in years to come.
 The Treasury has microfilm record of every war bond pur- chaser, and officials point out that a persons equity in a, war bond cannot be destroyed, that the sales are marked as a debt on the Federal ledger. Thus, burned war bonds will remain debt on the books unless you write to the Treasury and notify them to the contrary.
 NOTE-Secretary Morgenthau is the only man in America forbidden by law to purchase a war bond. He is not permitted to own any Government securities

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13
 This is not an important day in planetary direction Late in the afternoon a benefic aspect rules strongly,
 HEART AND HOME: Whatever pertains to the family welfare is well directed under this configura- tion. Parents who plan practical gifts for the physical or mental de- velopment of the young are under fortunate sway.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Careful survey of the years accomplish ments in business or professional activities will be especially helpful under this configuration. Elimina- tion of waste in all forms will be of particular concern in the United States as a result of wholesale de- struction in the war. New respect for plenty and more conscientious acceptance of opportunities are forecast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Holiday celebrations by careless persons who have been untouched by war will arouse resentment. The stars indicate that reckless use of gaso- line and extravagant expenditures of money will cause widespread criticism.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: In the chart for London, changes for leadership in many departments of government are foretold. Despite United Nations victories there. will be restlessness among the long suffering citizens even though they are relieved of enemy attacks, The Prime Minister will be harassed by complex diplomatic problems. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune Temptation to spend too much money should be overcome Children born on this day prob ably will be kindly and generous clever and talented. They should be taught to defend themselves against imposition

SNOWPLOWS IN TROPICS

For weeks the Alaskan Army has been yelling for a dozen high powered snowplows to clear the airfields in Alaska. Orders were sent for them nearly a year ago but, although the blows were ship ped out in good time. they still have not reached Alaska. Instead, guess where they are! They are reposing under matched roofs in the tropical heat of one of the Mariana Islands.
 Here is the story of what hap pened;
 The dozen blows were loaded last summer on the decks of two ships whose holds were full of powder and shells. The ships sailed for Alaska from a port on our Pacific coast. Shortly after they set sail, frantic request came from the Pacific theatre for ammunition of the type these ships were carrying the Saipan battle was in progress at that time.
 The ships were radioed to change their course and make for the Marianas. Unfortunately, tn CT e were no port facilities at the island to which they were directed, and the Marines and Seabees assigned to unload the ships had a major engineering job on their hands. They had to remove the heavy dual motored blows on small lighters before they could unload the ammunition.
 The blows were then to be re- loaded on the ships and sent to Alaska. But the sun was too hot and the men too busy The ships sailed without the blows. The sun

 was part of the Churchill Roosevelt agreement. But if the British didn't want to fly their planes, U. s. officers could not go.
 It is now no secret that both British and American troops infil- trated back and forth inside Greece and Jugoslavia during the German occupation. Supplies were sent to the guerrillas in both countries, and so were U. s. troops. Usually the troops were American citizens of Greek or Jugoslav descent who spoke thes language and could work with the rebel armies fighting the German occupation. But everything had to be done under the British, and when the British found an American too friendly to the non- Royalists in Greece, he was quietly transferred elsewhere.
 =- This policy was carried so far that today American citizens work ing for UNRRA in Greece must wear British uniforms. If they re- flise to wear British uniforms, they are not allowed in Greece

POLICY REVERSED TOO LATE

Thus, although the State Depart ment has now announced a policy of keeping hands off Greece, Italy ct al, as far as their type of gov ernment is concerned, actually this has come a little late. For more than two years, the Greeks were told by U. S. diplomats that the British views were our views. For instance, when the Greek Cabinet ? at Cairo, in the autumn of l943 requested King George of Greece not to return until plebiscite had been held, this column reported ton October 28, 1943l that U. s. Am- ] bassador Alexander Kirk urged the Greek Cabinet to support the King It is hard to reverse policy overnight and make the Greeks ! understood it. Unquestionably they , hold us almost as responsible for { the rioting and bloodshed in the ' streets of Athens as they hold the { British.

 Premier Svolos as saying If ar
