Political Chips By EDWARD UDELCWITz

We have been told from time to time by scientists, plain observers and just second guessers that events run in cycles, that what happens today, after a lapse of time will re- cur again whether the matter in- wolves racial relations, styles in mil- linery or politics.
 That there Is truth in the above theory can be testified to by the situation that exists i'm the Repub- lican party in this city today. The Reorganization group Is preparing to go into a primary to Oust the junta In control after it has been in control for ten years. It came into control after busting the clique of which Ned GoSS was the front man after that clique ran the party ragged for the preceding ten years
 So, if history is going to repeat It. self, the junta should meet It's doom on primary day. Tn my opinion, 1t is already doomed, since 1t Is not only held in distrust by the rank and file Republicans in the ctiy, but is actually despised.
 Double machine politics did not originate with Ned GOss and Ned did not operate the republican end of the machine. He was too lnex- perienccd for that. Those functions were performed by the city court crowd of that period. That select group had been throwing monkey wrenches into the party machinery since John F. Eltons time, but In spite of that the Republicans man. aged to hold control of the city for six out of sixteen years, between 1905 and the collapse of the Sand land machine in 1921.
 After that debacle, double ma chine politics, which Up to that time had been sporadic and under cover, became organized and came out brazenly In the open. When in 10Sa the Democrats were involved in bitter primary fight between Mayor Guilfoile and Daniel T. FOrHington the city court crowd. to prevent the possibility of the Republican candidate benefating from the split staged q primary of their own by putting up the late James A. Peas- ley, one of their own to run against the late John 0. Sherwood who was backed by the remnants of the Sandland machine.
 After the defeat of Sherwood, the city court crowd brought out Ned G0Ss to wrest control from the rap idly disintegrating Republican or- ganizatiOn of that time and had no trouble in doing so. Then followed the most lurid chapter of dirty pol- tiles, this or any other city in the state had seen up to that time and brought about the reorganization movement in 1884.
 The principle packer of the re- organization movement in l933-i934 was Wm. J. Pape, publisher of the Republican American, who, strange as 1t may seem Is now the main packer of the jrlata of today. And his first string pitchers of that era were J. Warren Upson, who is now the front man of tho junta and due to be the casus helli in this insur- rection, md Fred Palomha who stands right behind Upson in the junta lineup. And the party they threw bean balls at, at that time was no other than Theobald E. Con- way, now judge of the city court and high up in the councils of the junta, but who In 1884 had to bear the brunt of the attack from the aforementioned rebels of that time since he was the stooge chairman of the Republican town committed then.

Theodore Haas counsel for the Office of Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior is quoted as saying the hearings designed to make known areas rightfuy belonging to the Indians under aboriginal claims in order that Secretary Ickes may apply the regulations regarding them"
 The only regulations know of regarding such claims is contained in the Alaskan Fisheries Regula- tions drawn up by the Secretary of the Interior and this regulation indeed was the under which the hearings were called This was stated in the official notices for the hearings and is as follows
 Native Fishing Rights: No trap shall be estab- lshed in any site in which any Alaska native or natives has have any rights of fishery by virtue of any grant or by of aboriginal occupancy by any person other than such native or natives .'. " etc.
 However the Indians are allowed to petition not only for trap sites but for the waters and submerged lands up to 5000 feet from shore, the lakes and streams emptying into these waters and the lands drained by these. waters. Quite trap site
 Certainly all pre-hearing publicity and official statements gave no indication that these hearings were only for the purpose of findihd out if the Indians owned any land in Alaska, and if so, to pay them for it.
 Much trouble could have been avoided if first of all Ickes had asked Congress for law which would enable him to settle with the lnalans proVohg uhey could prove claims to lands not now in their pos session Then such hearings could have been held afterwards with full knowledge of their purpose and intent
 Congress already has set up the machinery allow ing Indian claimants of lands in Alaska to sue ln the courts for compensation. This act was recently extended until June 5, 1945 and several cases have been filed under this act It provides that the Ihngt and Haida Indians may file suits against the United States in the Court of Claims asking for reasonable compensation from the Government for lands taken by the United States from the Indians without conn., pensation Under this act, if the courts recognize such claims proper amount must be paid over to the Indians.
 Ickes, however, apparently believes his depart- ment to be more capable of settling the matter than the courts.

According to the Wrangell Sentinels Periscope column Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes doesn't really want reservations for Indians in Alaska who are successful in establishing aboriginal rights in the present hearings Rather, the Secretary wishes to see legislation passed which would provide for cash settlements by the Federal Government with the Indians for the lands in question.
 Ickes, himself, said the other day in letter to the Washington Post that the hearings attempt ito find out what lands do belong to the Indians and Eskimos of Alaska" Supposedly the Indians can be paid off9

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not c07npeP'
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1s

Adverse plan etary influences dominate today. In the early morning there is benefic aspect of special interest to women.
 HEART AND HOME: Lure of fashionable clothing and costly ftrs may be peculiarly strong. Long self denial in the matter of dress among American women may be followed by extravaganza as United Nations victories raise hopes of a speedy peace. Astrologers counsel stern adherence to war economics.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Average businessmen are under promising sway. The stars appear to presage reconversion methods that permit fair competition with restricted operations among great corpora tions likely to monopolize postwar opportunities.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Experts in many professions and vacations will contribute greatly to the needs of the Federal Government seeking to solve peacetime problems. Political party lines will vanish when Wash ington mobilizes the trained minds of the nation.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As the autumn advances mortality among world leaders maye be great. Fatigue from overwork in heavy war tasks will cause the loss of distinguished statesmen in Great Britain and the United States. Fame is to come to men too old for combat duty and too young for high places.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Promotion is indicated for many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have great courage and ambition They should be bright i dllQ tdlCllJCN, hDiC bO Wll OdCtCoO.
 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20
 After the early morning, benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for the armed forces of the United Nations. It is an aus picious date for starting important enterprises.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a lucky day for those who seek posi- tions controlled by politics or big business. Qualifications not pull will decide appointments, although many prediction promises to women will be kept. .
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The stock market should be steady today. Manly industrials are under good i planetary direction. Reorganizations and changes in large corporations are forecast with opportunities for young men to assume official re- responsibilities. Banks, and bankers are under promising sway.
 NATIONAL ISSUES, Idealistic and realistic opinions will conflict in postwar planning. Subtle forces will tend to soften well-meaning Americans who will preach against revenge in dealing with defeated enemies. The seers assert that just punishment should be decreed for those accountable for the barbaric acts under Axis direction.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: World respect for the achievements lof American soldiers, sailors and laviators will be a factor in the future maintenance of peace. The Iseers declare for keenness in di- plomacy but certain signs warn of too much American kindliness and generosity at the peace. table. m
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied experiences. Good luck will attend caution in business matters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate in their careers, because of attractive per- sonalities and positive talents.
