CABINET iS
 SPLIT OVER
 NAH FATE:
Three Members Splif or How 10 Treat Germany
 After Her Defeat

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull said today he hoped high Allied officials as well as officials of the United States government, would be able to come to an agreement soon on the peace terms to be offered defeated Ger many.
 He made the comment in response to a request in statement by As- sociated Press of report that Presi- dent Roosevelt's Cabinet committee on a German peace policy were split over a proposal by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau that Germany be converted to an agri- cultural nation.
 Hull is understood to be cool to- wards the Morgenthau plan. Secre- tary of War Henry L, Stimson, the third member of the committee, is strongly opposed to it.
 The Morgenthau plan would strip Germany of much of it's industrial territory and destroy or give away the rest of it's industries It is notable that Hun, studiously avoid- ed, in his statement, any denial of the fact the cabinet split had de- veloped and was still wide open.

NEW ANGLES IN HEARING

Indians Wanf More than Aboriginal Rights,
 Says Witness

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Sept. 25.- Despite the fact that the hearings into the Indian tribes aboriginal rights have been based thus far on the uses put to the fishery and forest resources by the ancestors of the present members of the Haida, Thlinget and Rake Indians, the third of the series of hearings which opened at Rake on Saturday indi- cated the Indians want the waters and land not for the purposes used by their ancestors, but to make commercial use of all of the fish cries, timber, mineral and other resources.
 So said Frank c. Johnson, 50, fisherman and grandson of a wealthy Indian trader.
 Johnson admitted to Attorney w.. c. Aronld of the canned salmon in- dustry that some Rake villagers made up to $2,50O during the past season, and village women and chil- dren, fishing with rowboats few miles from home, earned $25 to $50 daily
 Johnson was the first witness in the three hearings to date to admit that his tribe warred with the whites in the early days and that Rake Village was shelled by U. S. Army

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON 'Lt. Col. Robert S. Allen now on activ service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-W White House in- inmates are still puzzled over the Presidents first greeting on Win ston Churchill when he arrived in Quebec. They don't know whether he was half kidding the Prime Minister, or what, when he called out: "Eleanor's here"
 Undoubtedly the President must know that his wife and Churchill don't get along particularly well. Certainly Mrs. Roosevelt knews it in fact, jokes about it a little ruefully.
 Poor Winston, she once told friends. whenever lie is here for dinner, he has to sit by me"
 She referred, of course, to the fact that the ranking guest of honor at a White House dinner must always sit at the right of t.-e First Lady And she implied, of course, that she and Churchill didn't agree on many things .- which is true.
 Mrs. Roosevelt publicly differed with Churchill when he praised Dictator Franco in Spain. She is known to frown most decidedly on has ironclad views that India can not be given independence. And being friend of Madame Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese people she also doesn't enthuse over Churchill's refusal so far to give Hong Kong back to China.
 In view of all this, many White House intimates think the Presi- dent was good-naturedly twitting the Prime Minister when he called out in Quebec, "Eleanor's here"

President Says COP Even Tells Untruths About
 His LiifIe FaIa

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt opened his fourth-term campaign Saturday night with a hard hitting speech, accusing the Republican opposition of attempting to claim credit for the New Deal. He said the COP operators were guilty ''of the most obvious. garden variety of fraud"
 Speaking before the AFL Team sters' Union, the President said, the whole purpose of Republican oratory these days is to persuade the American people that the Democratic party was responsible for the 1929 crash and the follow ing depression and that the Re- publican party is responsible for all social progress under the New Deal. There is one thing I am too old for-I cannot talk out of both sides of my mouth at the same time"
 Point Replies
 Roosevelt made a point by point reply to almost every criticism lev elled against his administration by his Republican opponent, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, although he didn't mention him by name.
 He declared the government well comes "all sincere supporters to the cause of effective world collabora- tion," adding that, millions of Re- publicans are with us. I am actual ly four years older-which seems to annoy some people. In fact, millions of us are II years older then when we started to clear up the mess dumped in our laps in l933."
 Attacks FaIa
 Roosevelt said the Republican leaders carried attacks against the administration, even down to my little dog, Fala. Unlike members of my family, he resents this" The President said soon Fala's heart would break because Republican fiction writers" made public the story of the dog left behind in the Aleutians during the Presidents Pacific tour, who had to be res |cued by a destroyer at cost of $20,000 ,000
 His Scotch soul was furious! He has not been the same dog since. I think I have the right to object Ito libelous statements about my dog"
