DECISION BY CLAIMS COURT
 EXPLAINED BY VIM. PAUL

The action Of Chief Justice Rich. ard S. Whaley of the United States Court of Claims last month in dis missing the S35.00o,000 suit of the Thlinget nation and the S5.00O.001 suit of the Haida nation for land use compensation and damages was brought into the limelight again today. with a request from a news gathering agency for a com ment from William L. Paul. The dismissal was on a government mo ton based on the plaintiffs failure to prosecute the action.
 Mir. Paul made the following statement.
 The Thlinget and Haida na- tions suit was dismissed because their contract with their attorneys was not approved by the Interior Secretary's statutory requirements The plaintiffs attorneys tried to circumvent by alleging the refusal was unreasonable and capricious, but Judge Whaley held to statutory language. My comment is We are undecided on the best course. Alter filing with the Court of Claims We started ejectment against the Pa cific American Fisheries, alleging the same were on our tribal lands also an injunction against the U.S.A. to prevent game wardens' in- reference when in our own tribal waters. Also we are appealing on the conviction Of the illegal fish ing case against Louis Paul. alleg- ing the fishery laws are inapplica- ble in Indian ancestral waters. We expect to give up huge areas for merly ours because 1t is inconceiv- able that we ask the ejectment of innocent parties who built homes, businesses, etc, believing the In- dian claims were extinguished by the U.S.A.
 There is still plenty outside these for the few Indians left. We also expect all awards to the In- dians to be court tested so we are bringing ejectment and damage claims against selected defendants as being speedy and final and not subject to the caprice of govern ment administrative officers"
 MT. Paul states that the suits were filed in May, 1922. under the act of June. 1885. giving Indian. the right to file suit against [ h { United States for recovery of land and other property by reason o1 any act or failure to act on the part of the U. S. government" The suits were filed by William L. Paul, Jr. and Frederick Paul under contract approved by a conven. tion Of natives held in Wrangeu i1 1941, according to Mir. Paul. This contract, he states, was not ap. proved by the Secretary of 8he In, terior, the point of difference being that the Secretary insisted, by worC and figures, that the Indians ac knowledge his guardianship, giving him contrOI of property or money To this, Mir Paul asserts, the con, vention of natives at Wrangell re fused to agree.
